Ezekiel 5
1 “As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword, use it as a barber’s razor, and shave your head and beard. Then take a set of scales and divide the hair.
Et tu fili hominis sume tibi gladium acutum, radentem pilos: et assumes eum, et duces per caput tuum, et per barbam tuam: et assumes tibi stateram ponderis, et divides eos.
2 When the days of the siege have ended, you are to burn up a third of the hair inside the city; you are also to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind. For I will unleash a sword behind them.
Tertiam partem igni combures in medio civitatis, iuxta completionem dierum obsidionis: et assumes tertiam partem, et concides gladio in circuitu eius: tertiam vero aliam disperges in ventum, et gladium nudabo post eos.
3 But you are to take a few strands of hair and secure them in the folds of your garment.
Et sumes inde parvum numerum: et ligabis eos in summitate pallii tui.
4 Again, take a few of these, throw them into the fire, and burn them. From there a fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.
Et ex eis rursum tolles, et proiicies eos in medio ignis, et combures eos igni: et ex eo egredietur ignis in omnem domum Israel.
5 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ista est Ierusalem, in medio Gentium posui eam, et in circuitu eius terras.
6 But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes worse than the countries around her. For her people have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.’
Et contempsit iudicia mea, ut plus esset impia quam Gentes: et præcepta mea ultra quam terræ, quæ in circuitu eius sunt. Iudicia enim mea proiecerunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt.
7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You have been more insubordinate than the nations around you; you have not walked in My statutes or kept My ordinances, nor have you even conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.’
Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia superastis Gentes, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et iudicia mea non fecistis, et iuxta iudicia Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, non estis operati;
8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
Ideo hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, et ipse ego faciam in medio tui iudicia in oculis Gentium.
9 Because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.
Et faciam in te quod non feci, et quibus similia ultra non faciam propter omnes abominationes tuas.
10 As a result, fathers among you will eat their sons, and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments against you and scatter all your remnant to every wind.’
Ideo patres comedent filios in medio tui, et filii comedent patres suos, et faciam in te iudicia, et ventilabo universas reliquias tuas in omnem ventum.
11 Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and abominations, I Myself will withdraw My favor; I will not look upon you with pity, nor will I spare you.
Idcirco vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: Nisi pro eo quod sanctum meum violasti in omnibus offensionibus tuis, et in cunctis abominationibus tuis: ego quoque confringam, et non parcet oculus meus, et non miserebor.
12 A third of your people will die by plague or be consumed by famine within you, a third will fall by the sword outside your walls, and a third I will scatter to every wind and unleash a sword behind them.
Tertia pars tui peste morietur, et fame consumetur in medio tui: et tertia pars tui in gladio cadet in circuitu tuo: tertiam vero partem tuam in omnem ventum dispergam, et gladium evaginabo post eos.
13 And when My anger is spent and I have vented My wrath against them, I will be appeased. And when I have spent My wrath on them, they will know that I, the LORD, in My zeal have spoken.
Et complebo furorem meum, et requiescere faciam indignationem meam in eis, et consolabor: et scient quia ego Dominus locutus sum in zelo meo, cum implevero indignationem meam in eis.
14 I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
Et dabo te in desertum, et in opprobrium Gentibus, quæ in circuitu tuo sunt, in conspectu omnis prætereuntis.
15 So you will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror to the nations around you, when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and raging fury. I, the LORD, have spoken.
Et eris opprobrium, et blasphemia, exemplum, et stupor in Gentibus, quæ in circuitu tuo sunt, cum fecero in te iudicia in furore, et in indignatione, et in increpationibus iræ.
16 When I shower you with the deadly arrows of famine and destruction that I will send to destroy you, I will intensify the famine against you and cut off your supply of food.
Ego Dominus locutus sum: Quando misero sagittas famis pessimas in eos: quæ erunt mortiferæ, et quas mittam ut disperdam vos: et famem congregabo super vos, et conteram in vobis baculum panis.
17 I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, the LORD, have spoken.”
Et immittam in vos famem, et bestias pessimas usque ad internecionem: et pestilentia, et sanguis transibunt per te, et gladium inducam super te. Ego Dominus locutus sum.
