Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens:
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this selfsame day; the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this selfsame day.
Fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Ierusalem hodie.
3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Set on the caldron. Set it on, and also pour water into it.
Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pone ollam; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.
4 Gather the pieces of it into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Congere frusta eius in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron. Make it boil well, yea, let the bones of it be boiled in the midst of it.
Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea: efferbuit coctio eius, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius.
6 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece. No lot has fallen upon it.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, ollae, cuius rubigo in ea est, et rubigo eius non exivit de ea: per partes et per partes suas eiice eam, non cecidit super eam sors.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her. She set it upon the bare rock. She did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust.
Sanguis enim eius in medio eius est, super limpidissimam petram effudit illum: non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere.
8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer: dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur.
9 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, cuius ego grandem faciam pyram.
10 Heap on the wood; make the fire hot. Boil the flesh well, and make the broth thick. And let the bones be burned.
Congere ossa, quae igne succendam: consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals of it, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat aes eius: et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius, et consumatur rubigo eius:
12 She has wearied herself with toil, yet her great scum does not go forth out of her, her scum by fire.
multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo eius, neque per ignem.
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed thee and thou were not cleansed, thou shall not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest.
Immunditia tua execrabilis: quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis: sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.
14 I, Jehovah, have spoken it. It shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back. I will neither spare, nor will I relent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, they shall judge thee, says the lord Jehovah.
Ego Dominus locutus sum: Veniet, et faciam: non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor: iuxta vias tuas, et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicabo te, dicit Dominus.
15 Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
16 Son of man, behold, I take the desire of thine eyes away from thee with a stroke. Yet thou shall neither mourn nor weep. Neither shall thy tears run down.
Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga: et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrymae tuae.
17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind thy headdress upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet. And do not cover thy lips, and do not eat the bread of men.
Ingemisce tacens, mortuorum luctum non facies: corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis, nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere: fecique mane sicut praeceperat mihi.
19 And the people said to me, Will thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou do so?
Et dixit ad me populus: Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent, quae tu facis?
20 Then I said to them, The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et dixi ad eos: Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens:
21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul has compassion. And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
Loquere domui Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra: et filii vestri, filiae vestrae, quas reliquistis, gladio cadent.
22 And ye shall do as I have done. Ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Et facietis sicut feci: Ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis.
23 And your coverings shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet. Ye shall not mourn nor weep, but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
Coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus: non plangetis neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum.
24 Thus Ezekiel shall be to you a sign, according to all that he has done ye shall do. When this comes, then ye shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.
Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum: iuxta omnia, quae fecit, facietis cum venerit istud: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
25 And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that upon which they set their heart-their sons and their daughters-
Et tu fili hominis ecce in die, qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animae eorum, filios, et filias eorum:
26 that in that day he who escapes shall come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
In die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te, ut annunciet tibi:
27 In that day thy mouth shall be opened to him who is escaped, and thou shall speak, and no more be mute. So thou shall be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
In die, inquam, illa aperietur os tuum cum eo, qui fugit: et loqueris, et non silebis ultra: erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
