¹A riekol mi: Synu človeka, postav sa na svoje nohy, a budem hovoriť s tebou!

¹He said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.

²Vtedy vošiel do mňa duch, kým hovoril so mnou, a postavil ma na moje nohy, a počul som toho, ktorý hovoril ku mne.

²The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

³A riekol mi: Synu človeka, ja ťa posielam k synom Izraelovým, k spurným národom odbojným, ktorí sa spurne staväli proti mne; oni aj ich otcovia sa mi spreneverovali až priam do tohoto dňa.

³He said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.

⁴Sú to synovia tvrdej tvári a zatvrdilého srdca, ku ktorým ťa posielam, a povieš im: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin.

⁴The children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I am sending you to them; and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh.

⁵A oni, už či počujú a či nechajú, lebo sú spurný dom; ale zvedia, že bol prorok medzi nimi.

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

⁶A ty, synu človeka, sa ich neboj ani sa neboj ich slov, keď ťa obkľúčia ako bodliaky a tŕne, a keď budeš bývať medzi škorpiónmi. Neboj sa ich slov ani sa neľakaj ich tvári, lebo sú spurný dom.

⁶You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

⁷Ale budeš im hovoriť moje slová, už či počujú a či nechajú, lebo sú spurní.

⁷You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

⁸A ty, synu človeka, počuj to, čo ti ja hovorím: Nebuď spurný jako ten spurný dom; otvor svoje ústa, a zjedz to, čo ti ja dám.

⁸But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.

⁹Vtedy som videl, a hľa, ruka bola vystretá ku mne, a hľa, v nej svitok knihy.

⁹When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was therein;

¹⁰A rozvinul ho predo mnou, a bol popísaný z líca i z ruba, a bolo na ňom napísané: Náreky, úpenie a beda.

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