Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of man, eat that which thou find. Eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis quodcumque inveneris comede: comede volumen istud, et vadens loquere ad filios Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.
Et aperui os meum, et cibavit me volumine illo:
3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
et dixit ad me: Fili hominis venter tuus comedet, et viscera tua complebuntur volumine isto, quod ego do tibi. Et comedi illud: et factum est in ore meo sicut mel dulce.
4 And he said to me, Son of man, go, get thee to the house of Israel, and speak to them with my words.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis vade ad domum Israel, et loqueris verba mea ad eos.
5 For thou are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel,
Non enim ad populum profundi sermonis, et ignotae linguae tu mitteris ad domum Israel:
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech, and of a hard language, whose words thou cannot understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken to thee.
neque ad populos profundi sermonis, et ignotae linguae, quorum non possis audire sermones: et si ad illos mittereris, ipsi audirent te.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee, for they will not hearken to me. For all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
Domus autem Israel nolunt audire te: quia nolunt audire me. omnis quippe domus Israel attrita fronte est, et duro corde.
8 Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.
Ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebus eorum, et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum.
9 As an adamant, harder than flint, I have made thy forehead. Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Ut adamantem, et ut silicem dedi faciem tuam: ne timeas eos, neque metuas a facie eorum: quia domus exasperans est.
10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis omnes sermones meos, quos ego loquor ad te, assume in corde tuo, et auribus tuis audi:
11 And go, get thee to those of the captivity, to the sons of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the lord Jehovah, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Et vade ad transmigrationem, et ingredere ad filios populi tui, et loqueris ad eos, et dices eis: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: si forte audiant, et quiescant.
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place.
Et assumpsit me spiritus, et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnae: Benedicta gloria Domini de loco suo,
13 And I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched each other, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
et vocem alarum animalium percutientium alteram ad alteram, et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia, et vocem commotionis magnae.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away. And I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.
Spiritus quoque levavit me, et assumpsit me: et abii amarus in indignatione spiritus mei: manus enim Domini erat mecum, confortans me.
15 Then I came to those of the captivity at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
Et veni ad transmigrationem, ad acervum novarum frugum, ad eos, qui habitabant iuxta flumen Chobar, et sedi ubi illi sedebant: et mansi ibi septem diebus moerens in medio eorum.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Cum autem pertransissent septem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israel: et audies de ore meo verbum, et annunciabis eis ex me.
18 When I say to a wicked man, Thou shall surely die, and thou give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked man from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Si dicente me ad impium: Morte morieris: non annunciaveris ei, neque locutus fueris ut avertatur a via sua impia, et vivat: ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur, sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked man, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul.
Si autem tu annunciaveris impio, et ille non fuerit conversus ab impietate sua, et a via sua impia: ipse quidem in iniquitate sua morietur, tu autem animam tuam liberasti.
20 Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because thou have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Sed et si conversus iustus a iustitia sua fuerit, et fecerit iniquitatem: ponam offendiculum coram eo, ipse morietur, quia non annunciasti ei: in peccato suo morietur, et non erunt in memoria iustitiae eius, quas fecit: sanguinem vero cuis de manu tua requiram.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous man not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and thou have delivered thy soul.
Si autem tu annunciaveris iusto ut non peccet iustus, et ille non peccaverit: vivens vivet, quia annunciasti ei, et tu animam tuam liberasti.
22 And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me, and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will talk with thee there.
Et facta est ibi super me manus Domini, et dixit ad me: Surgens egredere in campum, et ibi loquar tecum.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain. And, behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.
Et surgens egressus sum in campum: et ecce ibi gloria Domini stabat quasi gloria, quam vidi iuxta fluvium Chobar: et cecidi in faciem meam.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.
Et ingressus est in me spiritus, et statuit me super pedes meos: et locutus est mihi, et dixit ad me: Ingredere, et includere in medio domus tuae.
25 But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shall not escape from them.
Et tu fili hominis, ecce data sunt super te vincula, et ligabunt te in eis: et non egredieris de medio eorum.
26 And I will make thy tongue cling to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shall be mute, and shall not be a reprover to them, for they are a rebellious house.
Et linguam tuam adhaerere faciam palato tuo, et eris mutus, nec quasi vir obiurgans: quia domus exasperans est.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shall say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah. He who hears, let him hear, and he who forbears, let him forbear, for they are a rebellious house.
Cum autem locutus fuero tibi, aperiam os tuum, et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Qui audit, audiat: et qui quiescit, quiescat: quia domus exasperans est.
