¹ I reče mi: Sine čovečji, ustani na noge da govorim s tobom.

² I uđe u me duh kad mi progovori, i postavi me na noge, i slušah Onog koji mi govoraše.

³ I reče mi: Sine čovečji, ja te šaljem k sinovima Izrailjevim, k narodima odmetničkim, koji se odmetnuše mene; oni i oci njihovi biše mi neverni do ovog dana.

⁴ K sinovima tvrdog obraza i upornog srca šaljem te ja, pa im reci: Tako veli Gospod;

⁵ I poslušali ili ne poslušali, jer su dom odmetnički, neka znaju da je prorok bio među njima.

⁶ I ti, sine čovečji, ne boj ih se niti se boj njihovih reči, što su ti uporni i kao trnje i živiš među skorpijama; ne boj se njihovih reči i ne plaši se od njih što su dom odmetnički.

⁷ Nego im kaži reči moje, poslušali ili ne poslušali, jer su odmetnici.

⁸ Ali ti, sine čovečji, slušaj šta ću ti kazati, ne budi nepokoran kao taj dom nepokorni; otvori usta, i pojedi šta ću ti dati.

⁹ I pogledah, a to ruka pružena k meni, i gle, u njoj savijena knjiga.

¹⁰ I razvi je preda mnom, i beše ispisana iznutra i spolja, i beše u njoj napisan plač i naricanje i jaoh.

¹ Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God's mountain, to Horeb.

² The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

³ Moses said, "I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."

⁴ When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses! Moses!" He said, "Here I am."

⁵ He said, "Don't come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."

⁶ Moreover he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
