Ezekiel 11
1 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
Et elevavit me spiritus, et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem, quæ respicit ad solis ortum: et ecce in introitu portæ viginti quinque viri: et vidi in medio eorum Iezoniam filium Azur, et Pheltiam filium Banaiæ, principes populi.
2 And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
Dixitque ad me: Fili hominis, hi sunt viri, qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,
3 They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
dicentes: Nonne dudum ædificatæ sunt domus? hæc est lebes, nos autem carnes.
4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”
Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare fili hominis.
5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
Et irruit in me spiritus Domini, et dixit ad me: Loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus: Sic locuti estis domus Israel, et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi.
6 You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias eius interfectis.
7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Interfecti vestri, quos posuistis in medio eius, hi sunt carnes, et hæc est lebes: et educam vos de medio eius.
8 You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.
9 I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
Et eiiciam vos de medio eius, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis iudicia.
10 You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Gladio cadetis: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
11 The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.
Hæc non erit vobis in lebetem, et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos.
12 Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
Et scietis quia ego Dominus: quia in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et iudicia mea non fecistis, sed iuxta iudicia Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, estis operati.
13 Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”
Et factum est, cum prophetarem, Pheltias filius Banaiæ mortuus est: et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna, et dixi: Heu, heu, heu Domine Deus: consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israel?
14 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
15 “Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
Fili hominis, fratres tui, fratres tui, viri propinqui tui, et omnis domus Israel, universi, quibus dixerunt habitatores Ierusalem: Longe recedite a Domino, nobis data est terra in possessionem.
16 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus, quia longe feci eos in Gentibus, et quia dispersi eos in terris: ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris, ad quas venerunt.
17 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
Propterea loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Congregabo vos de populis, et adunabo de terris, in quibus dispersi estis, daboque vobis humum Israel.
18 When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
Et ingredientur illuc, et auferent omnes offensiones, cunctasque abominationes eius de illa.
19 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,
Et dabo eis cor unum, et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum: et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum, et dabo eis cor carneum:
20 so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
Ut in præceptis meis ambulent, et iudicia mea custodiant, faciantque ea: et sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum.
21 But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
Quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat, horum viam in capite suo ponam, dicit Dominus Deus.
22 Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotæ cum eis: et gloria Dei Israel erat super ea.
23 And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.
Et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis, stetitque super montem, qui est ad Orientem urbis.
24 And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,
Et spiritus levavit me, adduxitque in Chaldæam ad transmigrationem, in visione in spiritu Dei: et sublata est a me visio, quam videram.
25 I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
Et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini, quæ ostenderat mihi.
