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

¹Han sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn stå op på dine fødder så jeg kan tale med dig!"

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

²Og som han talede til mig, kom Ånden i mig og rejste mig på mine Fødder, og jeg hørte ham tale til mig.

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.

³Han sagde: "Menneskesøn! Jeg sender dig til Israeliterne, de genstridige, der har sat sig op imod mig; de og deres Fædre har forbrudt sig imod mig til den Dag i Dag.

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.

⁴Og Sønnerne har stive Ansigter og hårde Hjerter; jeg sender dig til dem, og du skal sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN!

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.

⁵Hvad enten de hører eller ej - thi de er en genstridig Slægt - skal de kende, at en Profet er kommet iblandt dem.

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.

⁶Men du, Menneskesøn frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ord, når du færdes mellem Nælder og Tidsler og bor blandt Skorpioner; frygt ikke for deres Ord og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt.

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

⁷Du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de hører eller ej, thi de er en genstridig Slægt..

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.

⁸Og du, Menneskesøn, hør, hvad jeg taler til dig! Vær ikke genstridig som den genstridige Slægt, men luk din Mund op og slug, hvad jeg her giver dig! "

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

⁹Og jeg skuede, og se, en Hånd var udrakt imod mig, og i den lå en Bogrulle;

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

¹⁰og han rullede den op for mig, - og der var skrevet på den både for og bag; og hvad der stod skrevet, var Klage, Suk og Ve.
