¹He said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

¹A riekol mi: Synu človeka, to, čo najdeš, zjedz; zjedz tento svitok knihy a idi, hovor domu Izraelovmu.

²So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.

²A otvoril som svoje ústa, a dal mi zjesť svitok knihy.

³He said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

³A riekol mi: Synu človeka, nakŕm svoje brucho a naplň svoje vnútornosti týmto svitkom knihy, ktorý ti dávam. A zjedol som, a bol v mojich ústach čo do sladkosti jako med.

⁴He said to me, Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.

⁴A riekol mi: Synu človeka, iď, vojdi k domu Izraelovmu a budeš im hovoriť mojimi slovami.

⁵For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;

⁵Lebo nie si poslaný k ľudu hlbokých rtov a ťažkého jazyka, ale k domu Izraelovmu;

⁶not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.

⁶nie ku mnohým národom hlbokých rtov a ťažkého jazyka, ktorých slovám by si nerozumel; lebo keby som ťa k tým poslal, tí by ťa istotne poslúchli.

⁷But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate Literally, have a hard forehead and hard-hearted.

⁷Ale dom Izraelov ťa nebudú chcieť poslúchať, pretože nechcú mňa poslúchať, lebo celý dom Izraelov, všetci sú tvrdého čela a zatvrdilého srdca.

⁸Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.

⁸Hľa, učinil som tvoju tvár tvrdú a postavil som ju proti ich tvári a tvoje čelo tvrdé proti ich čelu.

⁹As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

⁹Jako diamant, tvrdší ako skala, som učinil tvoje čelo; neboj sa ich ani sa neľakaj ich tvári, lebo sú spurný dom.

¹⁰Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

¹⁰A riekol mi: Synu človeka, všetky moje slová, ktoré ti budem hovoriť, vezmi do svojho srdca a počuj svojimi ušima.

¹¹Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

¹¹A iď, vojdi k prestehovaným, k synom svojho ľudu, a budeš im hovoriť a povieš im: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin. Už či počujú a či nechajú.

¹²Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place.

¹²Vtedy ma zdvihol Duch, a počul som za sebou hlas veľkého hrmotu: Požehnaná sláva Hospodinova! s jej miesta,

¹³I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

¹³a šum krýdel živých bytostí, ktoré sa dotýkaly druh druha, a rachot kolies popri nich a zvuk veľkého hrmotu.

¹⁴So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Yahweh was strong on me.

¹⁴A Duch ma vyzdvihol a vzal ma, a išiel som rozhorčený v prudkom hneve svojho ducha, ale bola nado mnou mocná ruka Hospodinova.

¹⁵Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

¹⁵A tak som prišiel k prestehovaným do Tél-abíba, ktorí bývali pri rieke Chebáre, a ta, kde bývali, a sedel som tam sedem dní, zdesený, medzi nimi.

¹⁶It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁶A stalo sa po siedmich dňoch, že stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹⁷Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.

¹⁷Synu človeka, dal som ťa za strážcu domu Izraelovmu, aby si počujúc slovo z mojich úst napomenul ich odo mňa.

¹⁸When I tell the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.

¹⁸Keby som povedal bezbožnému: Istotne zomrieš! a nenapomenul by si ho ani by si nehovoril, aby si napomenul bezbožného a odvrátil ho od jeho bezbožnej cesty zachrániť jeho život, ten bezbožný zomrie pre svoju neprávosť, ale jeho krv budem vyhľadávať z tvojej ruky.

¹⁹Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

¹⁹Ale ty, keď napomenieš bezbožného, a neodvráti sa od svojej bezbožnosti a od svojej bezbožnej cesty, on zomrie pre svoju neprávosť, ale ty si vyslobodil svoju dušu.

²⁰Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

²⁰A keby sa odvrátil spravedlivý od svojej spravedlivosti a páchal by neprávosť, a ja by som položil pred neho úraz, aby sa potknul a klesol, on zomrie; pretože si ho nenapomenul, zomrie pre svoj hriech, a nebudú sa spomínať skutky jeho spravedlivosti, ktoré kedy učinil; ale jeho krv budem vyhľadávať z tvojej ruky.

²¹Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.

²¹Ale ty, keď ho napomenieš, spravedlivého, tak aby nehrešil spravedlivý, a nehrešil by, istotne bude žiť, pretože sa dal napomenúť, a ty si vyslobodil svoju dušu.

²²The hand of Yahweh was there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.

²²A bola tam nado mnou ruka Hospodinova, a riekol mi: Vstaň, vyjdi do údolia, a tam budem hovoriť s tebou.

²³Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and behold, the glory of Yahweh stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

²³A tak som vstal a vyšiel som do údolia, a hľa, stála tam sláva Hospodinova, jako sláva, ktorú som videl na rieke Chebáre. A padol som na svoju tvár.

²⁴Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself inside your house.

²⁴Vtedy vošiel do mňa Duch a postavil ma na moje nohy a hovoril so mnou a riekol mi: Vojdi, zavri sa vo svojom dome.

²⁵But you, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:

²⁵A ty, synu človeka, hľa, dajú na teba povrazy a poviažu ťa nimi, a nevyjdeš medzi nich.

²⁶and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.

²⁶A ja spôsobím to, aby sa tvoj jazyk prilepil na tvoje ďasno, a onemeješ a nebudeš im mužom, ktorý karhá, pretože sú spurný dom.

²⁷But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

²⁷Ale keď budem hovoriť s tebou, otvorím tvoje ústa, a povieš im: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Ten, kto chce počuť, nech počuje, a kto nechce, nech nechá, pretože sú spurný dom.
