Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:
2 Son of man, speak to the sons of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
Fili hominis loquere ad filios populi tui, et dices ad eos: Terra cum induxero super eam gladium, et tulerit populus terrae virum unum de novissimis suis, et constituerit eum super se speculatorem:
3 if, when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blows the trumpet, and warns the people,
et ille viderit gladium venientem super terram, et cecinerit buccina, et annunciaverit populo:
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes no warning, if the sword comes, and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
Audiens autem, quisquis ille est, sonitum buccinae, et non se observaverit, veneritque gladius, et tulerit eum: sanguis ipsius super caput eius erit.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no warning; his blood shall be upon him. Whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Sonum buccinae audivit, et non se observavit, sanguis eius in ipso erit: si autem se custodierit, animam suam salvabit.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come, and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes, and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the watchman's hand.
Quod si speculator viderit gladium venientem, et non insonuerit buccina: et populus se non custodierit, veneritque gladius, et tulerit de eis animam: ille quidem in iniquitate sua captus est, sanguinem autem eius de manu speculatoris requiram.
7 So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Et tu fili hominis, speculatorem dedi te domui Israel: audiens ergo ex ore meo sermonem, annunciabis eis ex me.
8 When I say to the wicked man, O wicked man, thou shall surely die, and thou do not speak to warn the wicked man from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Si me dicente ad impium: Impie, morte morieris: non fueris locutus ut se custodiat impius a via sua: ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur, sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked man of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul.
Si autem annunciante te ad impium ut a viis suis convertatur, non fuerit conversus a via sua: ipse in iniquitate sua morietur: porro tu animam tuam liberasti.
10 And thou, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?
Tu ergo fili hominis dic ad domum Israel: Sic locuti estis, dicentes: Iniquitates nostrae, et peccata nostra super nos sunt, et in ipsis nos tabescimus: quomodo ergo vivere poterimus?
11 Say to them, As I live, says the lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, but that the wicked man turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Dic ad eos: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: nolo mortem impii, sed ut convertatur impius a via sua, et vivat. Convertimini a viis vestris pessimis: et quare moriemini domus Israel?
12 And thou, son of man, say to the sons of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. And as for the wickedness of the wicked man, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness, nor shall he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
Tu itaque fili hominis dic ad filios populi tui: Iustitia iusti non liberabit eum in quacumque die peccaverit: et impietas impii non nocebit ei, in quacumque die conversus fuerit ab impietate sua: et iustus non poterit vivere in iustitia sua, in quacumque die peccaverit.
13 When I say to the righteous man, that he shall surely live, if he trusts his righteousness, and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his iniquity that he has committed, in it he shall die.
Etiam si dixero iusto quod vita vivat, et confisus in iustitia sua fecerit iniquitatem: omnes iustitiae eius oblivioni tradentur, et in iniquitate sua, quam operatus est, in ipsa morietur.
14 Again, when I say to the wicked man, Thou shall surely die, if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right,
Si autem dixero impio: Morte morieris: et egerit poenitentiam a peccato suo, feceritque iudicium et iustitiam,
15 if the wicked man restores the pledge, gives again that which he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
et pignus restituerit ille impius, rapinamque reddiderit, in mandatis vitae ambulaverit, nec fecerit quidquam iniustum: vita vivet, et non morietur.
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
Omnia peccata eius, quae peccavit, non imputabuntur ei: iudicium, et iustitiam fecit, vita vivet.
17 Yet the sons of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. But as for them, their way is not equitable.
Et dixerunt filii populi tui: Non est aequi ponderis via Domini, et ipsorum via iniusta est.
18 When the righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
Cum enim recesserit iustus a iustitia sua, feceritque iniquitates, morietur in eis.
19 And when the wicked man turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
Et cum recesserit impius ab impietate sua, feceritque iudicium, et iustitiam, vivet in eis.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. O house of Israel, I will judge you everyone according to his ways.
Et dicitis: Non est recta via Domini. Unumquemque iuxta vias suas iudicabo de vobis, domus Israel.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that a man who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten.
Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in decimo mense, in quinta mensis transmigrationis nostrae, venit ad me qui fugerat de Ierusalem, dicens: Vastata est civitas.
22 Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he who escaped came. And he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning. And my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
Manus autem Domini facta fuerat ad me vespere, antequam veniret qui fugerat: aperuitque os meum donec veniret ad me mane, et aperto ore meo non silui amplius.
23 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
24 Son of man, those who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
Fili hominis, qui habitant in ruinosis his super humum Israel, loquentes aiunt: Unus erat Abraham, et hereditate possedit terram: nos autem multi sumus, nobis data est terra in possessionem.
25 Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. And shall ye possess the land?
Idcirco dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Qui in sanguine comeditis, et oculos vestros levatis ad immunditias vestras, et sanguinem funditis: numquid terram hereditate possidebitis?
26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbor's wife. And shall ye possess the land?
Stetistis in gladiis vestris, fecistis abominationes, et unusquisque uxorem proximi sui polluit: et terram hereditate possidebitis?
27 Thus shall thou say to them. Thus says the lord Jehovah: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and he who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
Haec dices ad eos: Sic dicit Dominus Deus: Vivo ego, quia qui in ruinosis habitant, gladio cadent: et qui in agro est, bestiis tradetur ad devorandum: qui autem in praesidiis, et speluncis sunt, peste morientur.
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. And the pride of her power shall cease. And the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
Et dabo terram in solitudinem, et in desertum, et deficiet superba fortitudo eius: et desolabuntur montes Israel, eo quod nullus sit qui per eos transeat.
29 Then they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero terram eorum desolatam, et desertam propter universas abominationes suas, quas operati sunt.
30 And as for thee, son of man, the sons of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, each one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from Jehovah.
Et tu fili hominis: filii populi tui, qui loquuntur de te iuxta muros, et in ostiis domorum, et dicunt unus ad alterum, vir ad proximum suum loquentes: Venite, et audiamus quis sit sermo egrediens a Domino.
31 And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
Et veniunt ad te, quasi si ingrediatur populus, et sedent coram te populus meus: et audiunt sermones tuos, et non faciunt eos: quia in canticum oris sui vertunt illos, et avaritiam suam sequitur cor eorum.
32 And, lo, thou are to them as a very lovely song of he who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument. For they hear thy words, but they do not do them.
Et es eis quasi carmen musicum, quod suavi, dulcique sono canitur: et audiunt verba tua, et non faciunt ea.
33 And when this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then they shall know that a prophet has been among them.
Et cum venerit quod praedictum est (ecce enim venit) tunc scient quod prophetes fuerit inter eos.
