Ezekiel 16
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 “Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations
Fili hominis notas fac Ierusalem abominationes suas:
3 and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Ierusalem: Radix tua, et generatio tua de terra Chanaan: pater tuus Amorrhaeus, et mater tua Cethaea.
4 On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.
Et quando nata es in die ortus tui non est praecisus umbilicus tuus, et aqua non es lota in salutem, nec sale salita, nec involuta pannis.
5 No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were despised on the day of your birth.
Non pepercit super te oculus ut faceret tibi unum de his, misertus tui: sed proiecta es super faciem terrae in abiectione animae tuae, in die qua nata es.
6 Then I passed by and saw you wallowing in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ There I said to you, ‘Live!’
Transiens autem per te, vidi te conculcari in sanguine tuo. et dixi tibi cum esses in sanguine tuo: Vive. dixi, inquam, tibi: In sanguine tuo vive.
7 I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
Multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te: et multiplicata es, et grandis effecta, et ingressa es, et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem: ubera tua intumuerunt, et pilus tuus germinavit: et eras nuda, et confusione plena.
8 Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.
Et transivi per te, et vidi te: et ecce tempus tuum, tempus amantium: et expandi amictum meum super te, et operui ignominiam tuam. Et iuravi tibi, et ingressus sum pactum tecum: ait Dominus Deus: et facta es mihi.
9 Then I bathed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
Et lavi te aqua, et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te: et unxi te oleo.
10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
Et vestivi te discoloribus, et calceavi te hyacintho: et cinxi te bysso, et indui te subtilibus.
11 I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
Et ornavi te ornamento, et dedi armillas in manibus tuis, et torquem circa collum tuum.
12 I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
Et dedi inaurem super os tuum, et circulos auribus tuis, et coronam decoris in capite tuo.
13 So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be queen.
Et ornata es auro, et argento, et vestita es bysso, et polymito, similam, et mel, et oleum comedisti, et decora facta es vehementer nimis: et profecisti in regnum.
14 Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.
Et egressum est nomen tuum in Gentes propter speciem tuam: quia perfecta eras in decore meo, quem posueram super te, dicit Dominus Deus.
15 But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the asking.
Et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua fornicata es in nomine tuo: et exposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti ut eius fieres.
16 You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!
Et sumens de vestimentis meis fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta: et fornicata es super eis, sicut non est factum, neque futurum est.
17 You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.
Et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo, atque argento meo, quae dedi tibi: et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas, et fornicata es in eis.
18 You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.
Et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria, et restita es eis: et oleum meum, et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis.
19 And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.
Et panem meum, quem dedi tibi, similam, et oleum, et mel, quibus enutrivi te, posuisti in conspectu eorum in odorem suavitatis, et factum est, ait Dominus Deus.
20 You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?
Et tulisti filios tuos, et filias tuas, quas generasti mihi: et immolasti eis ad devorandum. Numquid parva est fornicatio tua?
21 You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.
Immolasti filios meos, et dedisti, illos consecrans, eis.
22 And in all your abominations and acts of prostitution, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your own blood.
Et post omnes abominationes tuas, et fornicationes, non es recordata dierum adolescentiae tuae, quando eras nuda, et confusione plena, conculcata in sanguine tuo.
23 Woe! Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,
Et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam (vae, vae tibi, ait Dominus Deus)
24 you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.
et aedificasti tibi lupanar, et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis.
25 At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.
Ad omne caput viae aedificasti signum prostitutionis tuae: et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum: et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti, et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas.
26 You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.
Et fornicata es cum filiis Aegypti vicinis tuis magnarum carnium: et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad irritandum me.
27 Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.
Ecce ego extendam manum meam super te, et auferam iustificationem tuam: et dabo te in animas odientium te filiarum Palaestinarum, quae erubescunt in via tua scelerata.
28 Then you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.
Et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum, eo quod necdum fueris expleta: et postquam fornicata es, nec sic es satiata.
29 So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!
Et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in Terra Chanaan cum Chaldaeis: et nec sic satiata es.
30 How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!
In quo mundabo cor tuum, ait Dominus Deus; cum facias omnia haec opera mulieris meretricis, et procacis?
31 But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viae, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea: nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium,
32 You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!
sed quasi mulier adultera, quae super virum suum inducit alienos.
33 Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.
Omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes: tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis, et dona donabas eis vi intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum.
34 So your prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!
Factumque est in te contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis, et post te non erit fornicatio: in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes, et mercedes non accepisti, factum est in te contrarium.
35 Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!
Propterea meretrix audi verbum Domini.
36 This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia effusum est aes tuum, et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis super amatores tuos, et super idola abominationum tuarum in sanguine filiorum tuorum, quos dedisti eis:
37 therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and expose you before them, and they will see you completely naked.
Ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos, quibus commixta es, et omnes, quos dilexisti cum universis, quos oderas: et congregabo eos super te undique, et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis, et videbunt omnem turpitudinem tuam.
38 And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your bloodshed and jealousy.
Et iudicabo te iudiciis adulterarum, et effundentium sanguinem: et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli.
39 Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will level your mounds and tear down your lofty shrines. They will strip off your clothes, take your fine jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.
Et dabo te in manus eorum, et destruent lupanar tuum: et demolientur prostibulum tuum: et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et auferent vasa decoris tui: et derelinquent te nudam, plenamque ignominia:
40 They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
et adducent super te multitudinem, et lapidabunt te lapidibus, et trucidabunt te gladiis suis.
41 Then they will burn down your houses and execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.
Et comburent domos tuas igne, et facient in te iudicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum: et desines fornicari, et mercedes ultra non dabis.
42 So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.
Et requiescet indignatio mea in te: et auferetur zelus meus a te, et quiescam, nec irascar amplius.
43 Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations?
Eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adolescentiae tuae, et provocasti me in omnibus his: quapropter et ego vias tuas in capite tuo dedi, ait Dominus Deus, et non feci iuxta scelera tua in omnibus abominationibus tuis.
44 Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
Ecce omnis, qui dicit vulgo proverbium, in te assumet illud, dicens: Sicut mater, ita et filia eius.
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
Filia matris tuae es tu, quae proiecit virum suum, et filios suos: et soror sororum tuarum es tu, quae proiecerunt viros suos, et filios suos: mater vestra Cethaea, et pater vester Amorrhaeus.
46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.
Et soror tua maior, Samaria, ipsa et filiae eius, quae habitant ad sinistram tuam: soror autem tua minor te, quae habitat a dextris tuis, Sodoma, et filiae eius.
47 And you not only walked in their ways and practiced their abominations, but soon you were more depraved than they were.
Sed nec in viis earum ambulasti, neque secundum scelera earum fecisti pauxillum minus: pene sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis.
48 As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.
Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua ipsa, et filiae eius, sicut fecisti tu, et filiae tuae.
49 Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.
Ecce haec fuit iniquitas Sodomae sororis tuae, superbia, saturitas panis et abundantia, et otium ipsius, et filiarum eius: et manum egeno, et pauperi non porrigebant.
50 Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.
Et elevatae sunt, et fecerunt abominationes coram me: et abstuli eas sicut vidisti.
51 Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.
Et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum non peccavit: sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis, et iustificasti sorores tuas in omnibus abominationibus tuis, quas operata es.
52 So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.
Ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam, quae vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis, sceleratius agens ab eis: iustificatae sunt enim a te: ergo et tu confundere, et porta ignominiam tuam, quae iustificasti sorores tuas.
53 But I will restore Sodom and her daughters from captivity, as well as Samaria and her daughters. And I will restore you along with them.
Et convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis, et conversione Samariae, et filiarum eius: et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum,
54 So you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did to comfort them.
ut portes ignominiam tuam, et confundaris in omnibus, quae fecisti consolans eas.
55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.
Et soror tua Sodoma, et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et Samaria, et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et tu, et filiae tuae revertemini ad antiquitatem vestram.
56 Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,
Non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo, in die superbiae tuae,
57 before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.
antequam revelaretur malitia tua: sicut hoc tempore in opprobrium filiarum Syriae, et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palaesthinarum, quae ambiunt te per gyrum.
58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.
scelus tuum, et ignominiam tuam tu portasti, ait Dominus Deus.
59 For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et faciam tibi sicut despexisti iuramentum, ut irritum faceres pactum:
60 But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adolescentiae tuae: et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.
Et recordaberis viarum tuarum, et confunderis: cum receperis sorores tuas te maiores cum minoribus tuis: et dabo eas tibi in filias, sed non ex pacto tuo.
62 So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,
Et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum: et scies quia ego Dominus,
63 so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”
ut recorderis, et confundaris, et non sit tibi ultra aperire os prae confusione tua, cum placatus tibi fuero in omnibus, quae fecisti, ait Dominus Deus.
