Ezekiel 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
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 Il me dit: “Fils d’homme, tiens-toi debout, je te parlerai.”
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 Au moment même où il me parle, un esprit entre en moi et me fait tenir debout; alors je l’entends me dire:
3 and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me.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 “Fils d’homme, je t’envoie vers les Israélites, vers un peuple de rebelles qui se sont révoltés contre moi; eux et leurs pères m’ont été infidèles jusqu’à ce jour.
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 Je t’envoie vers cette race de têtes dures et de cœurs obstinés pour que tu leur dises: Voici la parole de Yahvé…!
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 “Ils t’écouteront ou ne t’écouteront pas - car c’est une race de rebelles - mais ils sauront qu’il y a un prophète au milieu d’eux.
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 Et toi, fils d’homme, ne les crains pas, ne crains pas leurs menaces; ils seront pour toi comme des ronces ou des orties, comme un scorpion là où tu t’es assis. N’aie pas peur de leurs paroles, ne crains pas devant eux: ils ne sont qu’une race de rebelles.
7 Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.	7 Tu leur diras mes paroles, qu’ils t’écoutent ou ne t’écoutent pas, car ils sont une race de rebelles.
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 “Maintenant, fils d’homme, écoute ce que je vais te dire, ne te rebelle pas comme cette race de rebelles, mais ouvre la bouche et mange ce que je te donne.”
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 Je regardai: une main se tendit vers moi qui tenait le rouleau d’un livre.
	10 Il le déroula devant moi; c’était écrit sur l’endroit et sur l’envers, et ce n’étaient que chants funèbres, lamentations et gémissements.
