1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. 2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. 4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. 5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 ¶ And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9 ¶ And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; 10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

1 Ўша овоз менга деди:
— Эй инсон , ўрнингдан тур, Мен сен билан гаплашмоқчиман.
2 Овоз менга гапираётганда, Руҳ ичимга кириб, мени турғизиб қўйди. Мен гапнинг давомини тингладим. 3 У менга шундай деди:
— Эй инсон, Мен сени итоатсиз Исроил халқининг олдига юбораман. Улар Менга қарши бош кўтаришди. Уларнинг ўзлари ҳам, ота–боболари ҳам шу кунгача Менга қарши гуноҳ қилиб келишган. 4 Бу халқ қайсар ва ўжардир. Мен сени уларнинг олдига юбораман. Сен уларга: “Эгамиз Раббий шундай демоқда”, деб гапирасан. 5 Бу исёнкор халқ гапингга қулоқ соладими, йўқми, Мен уларнинг олдига пайғамбарни юборганимни билиб қўйишсин. 6 Сен эса, эй инсон, улардан ҳайиқма, уларнинг гапларидан қўрқма. Атрофингни янтоғу тиканаклар ўраб олса ҳам, чаёнлар орасида яшасанг ҳам қўрқма. Уларнинг гапларидан чўчима, уларнинг важоҳатидан даҳшатга тушма. 7 Бу исёнкор халқ сенга қулоқ соладими, йўқми, уларга Менинг гапларимни етказ. 8 Сен эса, эй инсон, бу исёнкор халққа ўхшама. Оғзингни оч. Мен сенга берадиган нарсани егин.
9 Қарасам, мен томон бир қўл чўзилди. Қўлда бир ўрама қоғоз бор эди. 10 Қўл ўрамни очиб, менга кўрсатди. Ўрамнинг олди ва орқа томонларига марсия, мотам ва қайғу сўзлари ёзилган эди.
