Ezekiel 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”	1 Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo, rizzati in piè, ed io parlerò teco.
2 And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,	2 E quando egli mi ebbe parlato, lo Spirito entrò in me, e mi rizzò in piè; ed io udii colui che parlava a me.
3 and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.	3 Il qual mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo, io ti mando a’ figliuoli d’Israele, a nazioni ribelli, che si son ribellate contro a me: essi, e i lor padri, hanno misfatto contro a me, infino a questo stesso giorno.
4 And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’	4 Anzi ti mando a’ figliuoli di fronte dura, e di cuore ostinato; acciocchè tu dica a loro: Così ha detto il Signore Iddio.
5 Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.	5 E che che sia, o che ti ascoltino, o che se ne rimangano perciocchè sono una casa ribelle, sì sapranno che vi sarà stato un profeta in mezzo di loro
6 But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.	6 E tu, figliuol d’uomo, non temer di loro, nè delle lor parole; perciocchè tu hai appresso di te degli uomini ritrosi, e delle spine; e tu abiti per mezzo di scorpioni; non temer delle lor parole, e non isgomentarti della lor presenza; perciocchè sono una casa ribelle.
7 Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.	7 E pronunzia loro le mie parole, che che sia, o che ti ascoltino, o che se ne rimangano; perciocchè son ribelli.
8 But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”	8 Ma tu, figliuol d’uomo, ascolta ciò che io ti dico; non esser ribelle, come questa casa ribelle; apri la bocca, e mangia ciò che io ti do.
9 And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it. And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.	9 Ed io riguardai, ed ecco una mano, ch’era mandata a me; ed ecco, in essa vi era il rotolo di un libro.
	10 E quella lo spiegò in mia presenza; ed esso era scritto dentro, e di fuori; e in esso erano scritti lamenti, e rammarichii e guai
