¹فقال لي يا ابن آدم قم على قدميك فأتكلم معك.

¹And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

²فدخل فيّ روح لما تكلم معي واقامني على قدميّ فسمعت المتكلم معي.

²And the Spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake unto me.

³وقال لي يا ابن آدم انا مرسلك الى بني اسرائيل الى امة متمردة قد تمردت عليّ. هم وآباؤهم عصوا عليّ الى ذات هذا اليوم.

³And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day.

⁴والبنون القساة الوجوه والصلاب القلوب انا مرسلك اليهم. فتقول لهم هكذا قال السيد الرب.

⁴And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do sent thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁵وهم ان سمعوا وان امتنعوا. لانهم بيت متمرد. فانهم يعلمون ان نبيا كان بينهم.

⁵And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

⁶اما انت يا ابن آدم فلا تخف منهم ومن كلامهم لا تخف لانهم قريس وسلاء لديك وانت ساكن بين العقارب. من كلامهم لا تخف ومن وجوههم لا ترتعب. لانهم بيت متمرد.

⁶And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

⁷وتتكلم معهم بكلامي ان سمعوا وان امتنعوا لانهم متمردون

⁷And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

⁸وانت يا ابن آدم فاسمع ما انا مكلمك به. لا تكن متمردا كالبيت المتمرد. افتح فمك وكل ما انا معطيكه.

⁸But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

⁹فنظرت واذا بيد ممدودة اليّ واذا بدرج سفر فيها.

⁹And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

¹⁰فنشره امامي وهو مكتوب من داخل ومن قفاه وكتب فيه مراث ونحيب وويل

¹⁰And he spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
