1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you." 2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

3 He 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. 4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’ 5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them. 6 You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious. 8 But 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."

9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.

1 他对我说： "人子啊！ 站起来， 我要跟你说话。"

2 他对我说话的时候， 灵就进到我里面， 使我站立起来； 我又听见对我说话的声音。

3 他对我说： "人子啊！ 我差派你到以色列人那里去， 就是到那背叛我的叛逆国民那里去！ 他们和他们的列祖都得罪了我， 直到今日。

4 这人民十分顽固， 心里刚硬， 我差派你到他们那里去。你要对他们说： ‘主耶和华这样说。’

5 他们或听或不听（他们原是叛逆的民族）， 也必知道在他们中间有一位先知。

6 "人子啊！ 至于你， 虽然荆棘和蒺藜在你周围， 你又住在蝎子群中， 你不要怕他们， 也不要怕他们讲的话。他们原是叛逆的民族， 你总不要怕他们讲的话， 在他们面前， 也不要惊惶。

7 他们或听或不听， 你只要把我的话告诉他们， 他们原是叛逆的。

8 "人子啊！ 至于你， 你要听我对你讲的话。不要叛逆我， 像那叛逆的民族一样。张开你的口， 把我赐给你的吃下去！ "

9 我观看， 看见一只手向我伸过来， 手中有一卷书卷。

10 他把书卷在我面前展开， 书卷内外都写上字， 写的是哀歌、悲叹和灾祸。
