Ezekiel 2

Ἰεζεκιήλ

1 ΚΑΙ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου, καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς σέ.

This verse is not in Brenton's English, which follows another reading of the Greek.

2 καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ πνεῦμα καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με καὶ ἐξῆρέ με καὶ ἔστησέ με ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας μου, καὶ ἤκουον αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πρός με,

And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.

3 καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἐξαποστέλλω ἐγώ σε πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, τοὺς παραπικραίνοντάς με, οἵτινες παρεπίκρανάν με, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας,

And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.

4 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος·

And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.

5 ἐὰν ἄρα ἀκούσωσιν ἢ πτοηθῶσι διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σὺ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house,) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.

6 καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτοὺς μηδὲ ἐκστῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· διότι παροιστρήσουσι καὶ ἐπισυστήσονται ἐπὶ σὲ κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ σκορπίων σὺ κατοικεῖς· τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν μὴ φοβηθῇς καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν μὴ ἐκστῇς, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.

And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.

7 καὶ λαλήσεις τοὺς λόγους μου πρὸς αὐτούς, ἐὰν ἄρα ἀκούσωσιν ἢ πτοηθῶσιν, ὅτι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.

And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.

8 καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἄκουε τοῦ λαλοῦντος πρός σέ, μή γίνου παραπικραίνων καθὼς ὁ οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων· χάνε τὸ στόμα σου καὶ φάγε ὃ ἐγὼ δίδωμί σοι.

And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.

9 καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ χεὶρ ἐκτεταμένη πρός με, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ κεφαλὶς βιβλίου·

And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.

10 καὶ ἀνείλησεν αὐτὴν ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ γεγραμμένα τὰ ἔμπροσθεν καὶ τὰ ὄπισθεν, καὶ ἐγέγραπτο ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν θρῆνος καὶ μέλος καὶ οὐαί.

And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
