Ezekiel 23
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother,
Fili hominis, duae mulieres filiae matris unius fuerunt,
3 and they played in Egypt, prostituting themselves from their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their virgin bosoms caressed.
et fornicatae sunt in Aegypto, in adolescentia sua fornicatae sunt: ibi subacta sunt ubera earum, et fractae sunt mammae pubertatis earum.
4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was named Oholibah. They became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their identities, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
Nomina autem earum Oolla maior, et Ooliba soror eius minor: et habui eas, et pepererunt filios, et filias. Porro earum nomina Samaria Oolla, et Ierusalem Ooliba.
5 Oholah prostituted herself while she was still Mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians—warriors
Fornicata est igitur super me Oolla, et insanivit in amatores suos, in Assyrios propinquantes,
6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all desirable young men, horsemen mounted on steeds.
vestitos hyacintho, principes, et magistratus, iuvenes cupidinis, universos equites, ascensores equorum.
7 She offered sexual favors to all the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of those for whom she lusted.
Et dedit fornicationes suas super eos electos, filios Assyriorum universos: et in omnibus, in quos insanivit, in immunditiis eorum polluta est.
8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when men slept with her in her youth, caressed her virgin bosom, and poured out their lust upon her.
Insuper et fornicationes suas, quas habuerat in Aegypto, non reliquit: nam et illi dormierunt cum ea in adolescentia eius, et illi confregerunt ubera pubertatis eius, et effuderunt fornicationem suam super eam.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
Propterea tradidi eam in manus amatorum suorum, in manus filiorum Assur, super quorum insanivit libidine.
10 They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and put her to the sword. Thus she became a byword among women, and they executed judgment against her.
Ipsi discooperuerunt ignominiam eius, filios, et filias eius tulerunt, et ipsam occiderunt gladio: et factae sunt famosae mulieres, et iudicia perpetraverunt in ea.
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.
Quod cum vidisset soror eius Ooliba, plusquam illa insanivit libidine: et fornicationem suam super fornicationem sororis suae
12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors dressed in splendor, horsemen riding on steeds, all desirable young men.
ad filios Assyriorum praebuit impudenter, ducibus, et magistratibus ad se venientibus indutis veste varia, equitibus qui vectabantur equis, et adolescentibus forma cunctis egregia.
13 And I saw that she too had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path.
Et vidi quod polluta esset via una ambarum.
14 But Oholibah carried her prostitution even further. She saw the men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in vermilion,
Et auxit fornicationes suas: cumque vidisset viros depictos in pariete, imagines Chaldaeorum expressas coloribus,
15 wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
et accinctos balteis renes, et tiaras tinctas in capitibus eorum, formam ducum omnium, similitudinem filiorum Babylonis, terraeque Chaldaeorum, in qua orti sunt,
16 At the sight of them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
insanivit super eos concupiscentia oculorum suorum, et misit nuncios ad eos in Chaldaeam.
17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. But after she had been defiled by them, she turned away in disgust.
Cumque venissent ad eam filii Babylonis ad cubile mammarum, polluerunt eam stupris suis, et polluta est ab eis, et saturata est anima eius ab illis.
18 When Oholibah openly prostituted herself and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.
Denudavit quoque fornicationes suas, et discooperuit ignominiam suam: et recessit anima mea ab ea, sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore eius.
19 Yet she multiplied her promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
Multiplicavit enim fornicationes suas, recordans dies adolescentiae suae, quibus fornicata est in Terra Aegypti.
20 and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.
Et insanivit libidine super concubitum eorum, quorum carnes sunt ut carnes asinorum: et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum.
21 So you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your bosom and pressed your young breasts.
Et visitasti scelus adolescentiae tuae, quando subacta sunt in Aegypto ubera tua, et confractae sunt mammae pubertatis tuae.
22 Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will incite your lovers against you, those from whom you turned away in disgust. And I will bring them against you from every side—
Propterea Ooliba, haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego suscitabo omnes amatores tuos contra te, de quibus satiata est anima tua: et congregabo eos adversum te in circuitu,
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them—all desirable young men, governors and commanders, officers and men of renown, mounted on horses.
Filios Babylonis, et universos Chaldaeos, nobiles, tyrannosque et principes, omnes filios Assyriorum, iuvenes forma egregia, duces, et magistratus universos, principes principum, et nominatos ascensores equorum:
24 They will come against you with a host of peoples, with weapons, chariots, and wagons. They will array themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. I will delegate judgment to them, and they will punish you according to their own standards.
et venient super te instructi curru, et rota, multitudo populorum: lorica, et clypeo, et galea armabuntur contra te undique: et dabo coram eis iudicium, et iudicabunt te iudiciis suis.
25 And I will set My jealous rage against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your remnant will be consumed by fire.
Et ponam zelum meum in te, quem exercent tecum in furore: nasum tuum, et aures tuas praecident: et quae remanserint, gladio concident: ipsi filios tuos, et filias tuas capient, et novissimum tuum devorabitur igne.
26 They will strip off your clothes and take your fine jewelry.
Et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et tollent vasa gloriae tuae.
27 So I will put an end to your indecency and prostitution, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.’
Et requiescere faciam scelus tuum de te, et fornicationem tuam de Terra Aegypti: nec levabis oculos tuos ad eos, et Aegypti non recordaberis amplius.
28 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hands of those you hate, from whom you turned away in disgust.
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego tradam te in manus eorum, quos odisti, in manus, de quibus satiata est anima tua.
29 They will treat you with hatred, take all for which you have worked, and leave you naked and bare, so that the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your indecency and promiscuity
Et agent tecum in odio, et tollent omnes labores tuos, et dimittent te nudam, et ignominia plenam, et revelabitur ignominia fornicationum tuarum, scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuae.
30 have brought these things upon you, because you have prostituted yourself with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
Fecerunt haec tibi quia fornicata es post Gentes, inter quas polluta es in idolis earum.
31 Because you have followed the path of your sister, I will put her cup into your hand.’
In via sororis tuae ambulasti, et dabo calicem eius in manu tua.
32 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink your sister’s cup, a cup deep and wide. It will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Calicem sororis tuae bibes profundum, et latum: eris in derisum, et in subsannationem, quae est capacissima.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and grief, with a cup of devastation and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.
Ebrietate, et dolore repleberis: calice moeroris, et tristitiae, calice sororis tuae Samariae.
34 You will drink it and drain it; you will dash it to pieces, and tear your breasts. For I have spoken,’
Et bibes illum, et epotabis usque ad faeces, et fragmenta eius devorabis, et ubera tua lacerabis: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
35 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your indecency and prostitution.’”
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia oblita es mei, et proiecisti me post corpus tuum, tu quoque porta scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuas.
36 Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
Et ait Dominus ad me, dicens: Fili hominis numquid iudicas Oollam, et Oolibam, et annuncias eis scelera earum?
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to Me, in the fire as food for their idols.
Quia adulteratae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum, et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt: insuper et filios suos, quos genuerunt mihi, obtulerunt eis ad devorandum.
38 They have also done this to Me: On that very same day, they defiled My sanctuary and profaned My Sabbaths.
Sed et hoc fecerunt mihi: Polluerunt sanctuarium meum in die illa, et sabbata mea profanaverunt.
39 On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary to profane it. Yes, they did this inside My house.
Cumque immolarent filios suos idolis suis, et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa ut polluerent illud: etiam haec fecerunt in medio domus meae.
40 Furthermore, you sisters sent messengers for men who came from afar; and behold, when they arrived, you bathed for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
Miserunt ad viros venientes de longe, ad quos nuncium miserant: itaque ecce venerunt: quibus te lavisti, et circumlinisti stibio oculos tuos, et ornata es mundo muliebri.
41 You sat on a couch of luxury with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil,
Sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo, et mensa ornata est ante te: thymiama meum, et unguentum meum posuisti super eam.
42 accompanied by the sound of a carefree crowd. Drunkards were brought in from the desert along with men from the rabble, who put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.
Et vox multitudinis exultantis erat in ea: et in viris, qui de multitudine hominum adducebantur, et veniebant de deserto, posuerunt armillas in manibus eorum, et coronas speciosas in capitibus eorum.
43 Then I said of her who had grown old in adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is!’
Et dixi ei, quae attrita est in adulteriis: Nunc fornicabitur in fornicatione sua etiam haec.
44 And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.
Et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem: sic ingrediebantur ad Oollam, et Oolibam mulieres nefarias.
45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.
Viri ergo iusti sunt: hi iudicabunt eas iudicio adulterarum, et iudicio effundentium sanguinem: quia adulterae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt.
46 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.
Haec enim dicit Dominus Deus: Adduc ad eas multitudinem, et trade eas in tumultum, et in rapinam:
47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
Et lapidentur lapidibus populorum, et confodiantur gladiis eorum: filios, et filias earum interficient, et domos earum igne succendent.
48 So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior.
Et auferam scelus de terra, et discent omnes mulieres ne faciant secundum scelus earum.
49 They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
Et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos, et peccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
