¹I reče mi: "Sine čovječji, na noge se, da s tobom govorim!"

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

²OI uđe u me duh, kako mi progovori, te me podiže na noge i ja čuh glas onoga koji mi govoraše.

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

³I reče mi: "Sine čovječji, šaljem te k sinovima Izraelovim, k narodu odmetničkom što se odvrže od mene. Oni i oci njihovi griješili su protiv mene sve do dana današnjega.

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 unto this very day;

⁴Šaljem te k sinovima tvrdokorna pogleda i okorjela srca. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod!

⁴and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁵I poslušali oni ili ne poslušali - rod su odmetnički - neka znaju da je prorok među vama.

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

⁶A ti, sine čovječji, ne boj ih se i ne plaši se riječi njihovih: 'Trnje te okružuje i sjediš među samim skorpijama.' Ne plaši se riječi njihovih i ne boj se nimalo njihova pogleda jer oni su rod odmetnički.

⁶And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.

⁷Govori im moje riječi, poslušali oni ili ne poslušali, jer rod su odmetnički.

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

⁸A ti, sine čovječji, poslušaj što ću ti sada reći: Ne budi odmetnik kao što su oni rod odmetnički! Otvori usta i progutaj što ću ti sada dati!"

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

⁹I pogledah, a to ruka k meni ispružena i u njoj, gle, svitak knjige.

⁹And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.

¹⁰I razvi se knjiga preda mnom: bijaše ispisana izvana i iznutra, a u njoj napisano: "Naricanje! Jecanje! Jauk!"

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