Jezekiel 12
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking house.
Fili hominis in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas: qui oculos habent ad videndum, et non vident: et aures ad audiendum, et non audiunt: quia domus exasperans est.
3 You therefore, son of man, prepare yourself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and you shall be led into captivity from your place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking house.
Tu ergo fili hominis, fac tibi vasa transmigrationis, et transmigrabis per diem coram eis: transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum, si forte aspiciant: quia domus exasperans est.
4 And you shall carry forth your baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and you shall go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.
Et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum: tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
5 Dig for yourself into the wall [of the house], and you shall pass through it in their sight:
Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem: et egredieris per eum.
6 you shall be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shall go forth in secret: you shall cover your face, and shall not see the ground: because I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.
In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis, in caligine effereris: faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram. quia portentum dedi te domui Israel.
7 And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.
Feci ergo sicut praeceperat mihi Dominus: vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem: et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu: et in caligine egressus sum, in humeris portatus in conspectu eorum.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens:
9 Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you, What do you?
Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israel, domus exasperans: Quid tu facis?
10 Say to them, Thus says the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:
Dic ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Ierusalem, et super omnem domum Israel, quae est in medio eorum.
11 say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.
Dic: Ego portentum vestrum: quomodo feci, sic fiet illis. in transmigrationem, et in captivitatem ibunt.
12 And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.
Et dux, qui est in medio eorum, in humeris portabitur, in caligine egredietur: parietem perfodient ut educant eum: facies eius operietur ut non videat oculo terram.
13 And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
Et extendam rete meum super eum, et capietur in sagena mea: et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldaeorum: et ipsam non videbit, ibique morietur.
14 And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;
Et omnes, qui circa eum sunt, praesidium eius, et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum: et gladium evaginabo post eos.
15 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them amongst the nations; and I will disperse them in the countries.
Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in Gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
16 And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities amongst the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio, et fame, et pestilentia: ut enarrent omnia scelera eorum in Gentibus, ad quas ingredientur: et scient quia ego Dominus.
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
18 Son of man, eat your bread with sorrow, and drink [your] water with torment and affliction.
Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede: sed et aquam tuam in festinatione, et moerore bibe.
19 And you shall say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.
Et dices ad populum terrae: Haec dicit Dominus Deus ad eos, qui habitant in Ierusalem in terra Israel: Panem suum in solicitudine comedent, et aquam suam in desolatione bibent: ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua, propter iniquitatem omnium, qui habitant in ea.
20 And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Et civitates, quae nunc habitantur, desolatae erunt, terraque deserta: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
21 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
22 Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, the vision has perished?
Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israel? dicentium: In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio.
23 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for you shall say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.
Ideo dic ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quiescere faciam proverbium istud, neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israel: et loquere ad eos quod appropinquaverint dies, et sermo omnis visionis.
24 For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.
Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israel.
25 For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], says the Lord.
Quia ego Dominus loquar: et quodcumque locutus fuero verbum, fiet, et non prolongabitur amplius: sed in diebus vestris domus exasperans loquar verbum, et faciam illud, dicit Dominus Deus.
26 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
27 Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.
Fili hominis, ecce domus Israel dicentium: Visio, quam hic videt, in dies multos: et in tempora longa iste prophetat.
28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, says the Lord.
Propterea dic ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus: verbum, quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.
