1. He then said, 'Son of man, eat what you see; eat this scroll, then go and speak to the House of Israel.'

1. And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is offered to you; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

2. I opened my mouth; he gave me the scroll to eat

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

3. and then said, 'Son of man, feed on this scroll which I am giving you and eat your fill.' So I ate it, and it tasted sweet as honey.

3. And he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it." Then I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.

4. He then said, 'Son of man, go to the House of Israel and tell them what I have said.

4. And he said to me, "Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.

5. You are not being sent to a nation that speaks a difficult foreign language; you are being sent to the House of Israel.

5. For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and a hard language, but to the house of Israel --

6. Not to big nations that speak difficult foreign languages, and whose words you would not understand -- if I sent you to them, they would listen to you;

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

7. but the House of Israel will not listen to you because it will not listen to me. The whole House of Israel is defiant and obstinate.

7. But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they are not willing to listen to me; because all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stubborn heart.

8. But now, I am making you as defiant as they are, and as obstinate as they are;

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

9. I am making your resolution as hard as a diamond, harder than flint. So do not be afraid of them, do not be overawed by them, for they are a tribe of rebels.'

9. Like adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead; fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house."

10. Then he said, 'Son of man, take to heart everything I say to you, listen carefully,

10. Moreover 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.

11. then go to your exiled countrymen and talk to them. Say to them, "Lord Yahweh says this," whether they listen or not.'

11. And go, get you to the exiles, to your people, and say to them, `Thus says the Lord GOD'; whether they hear or refuse to hear."

12. The spirit lifted me up, and behind me I heard a great vibrating sound, 'Blessed be the glory of Yahweh in his dwelling-place!'

12. Then the Spirit lifted me up, and as the glory of the LORD arose from its place, I heard behind me the sound of a great earthquake;

13. This was the sound of the living creatures' wings beating against each other, and the sound of the wheels beside them: a great vibrating sound.

13. it was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, that sounded like a great earthquake.

14. The spirit lifted me up and took me, and I went, bitter and angry, and the hand of Yahweh lay heavy on me.

14. The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the hand of the LORD being strong upon me;

15. I came to Tel Abib, to the exiles beside the River Chebar where they were living, and there I stayed with them in a stupor for seven days.

15. and I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Chebar. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

16. After seven days the word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,

16. And at the end of seven days, the word of the LORD came to me:

17. 'Son of man, I have appointed you as watchman for the House of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, warn them from me.

17. "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.

18. If I say to someone wicked, "You will die," and you do not warn this person; if you do not speak to warn someone wicked to renounce evil and so save his life, it is the wicked person who will die for the guilt, but I shall hold you responsible for that death.

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

19. If, however, you do warn someone wicked who then fails to renounce wickedness and evil ways, the wicked person will die for the guilt, but you yourself will have saved your life.

19. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you will have saved your life.

20. When someone upright renounces uprightness to do evil and I set a trap for him, it is he who will die; since you failed to warn him, he will die for his guilt, and the uprightness he practised will no longer be remembered; but I shall hold you responsible for his death.

20. Again, if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

21. If, however, you warn someone upright not to sin and this person does not sin, such a one will live, thanks to your warning, and you too will have saved your life.'

21. Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you will have saved your life."

22. While I was there the hand of Yahweh came on me; he said, 'Get up, go out into the valley, and there I shall speak to you.'

22. And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and there I will speak with you."

23. I got up and went out into the valley; the glory of Yahweh was resting there, like the glory I had seen by the River Chebar, and I fell to the ground.

23. So I arose and went forth into the plain; and, lo, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory which I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

24. The spirit of Yahweh then entered me and put me on my feet and spoke to me. He said, 'Go and shut yourself in your house.

24. But the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spoke with me and said to me, "Go, shut yourself within your house.

25. Son of man, you are about to be tied and bound, and unable to mix with other people.

25. And you, O son of man, behold, cords will be placed upon you, and you shall be bound with them, so that you cannot go out among the people;

26. I am going to make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth; you will be dumb, and no longer able to reprove them, for they are a tribe of rebels.

26. and I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be dumb and unable to reprove them; for they are a rebellious house.

27. When I speak to you, however, I shall open your mouth and then you will say to them, "Lord Yahweh says this: Let anyone prepared to listen, listen; let anyone who refuses, refuse!"-for they are a tribe of rebels.'

27. But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, `Thus says the Lord GOD'; he that will hear, let him hear; and he that will refuse to hear, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
