Jezekiel 33
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
fili hominis loquere ad filios populi tui et dices ad eos terra cum induxero super eam gladium et tulerit populus terrae virum unum de novissimis suis et constituerit eum super se speculatorem
3 and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
et ille viderit gladium venientem super terram et cecinerit bucina et adnuntiaverit populo
4 and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.
audiens autem quisquis ille est sonum bucinae non se observaverit veneritque gladius et tulerit eum sanguis ipsius super caput eius erit
5 Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
sonum bucinae audivit et non se observavit sanguis eius in ipso erit si autem custodierit animam suam salvavit
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from amongst them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand.
quod si speculator viderit gladium venientem et non insonuerit bucina et populus non se custodierit veneritque gladius et tulerit de eis animam ille quidem in iniquitate sua captus est sanguinem autem eius de manu speculatoris requiram
7 And you, son of man, I have set you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you shall hear a word from my mouth.
et tu fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israhel audiens ergo ex ore meo sermonem adnuntiabis eis ex me
8 When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; [if] you speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
si me dicente ad impium impie morte morieris non fueris locutus ut se custodiat impius a via sua ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram
9 But if you forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but you have delivered your own soul.
si autem adnuntiante te ad impium ut a viis suis convertatur non fuerit conversus a via sua ipse in iniquitate sua morietur porro tu animam tuam liberasti
10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have you spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?
tu ergo fili hominis dic ad domum Israhel sic locuti estis dicentes iniquitates nostrae et peccata nostra super nos sunt et in ipsis nos tabescimus quomodo ergo vivere poterimus
11 Say to them, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn you heartily from your way; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
dic ad eos vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus nolo mortem impii sed ut revertatur impius a via sua et vivat convertimini a viis vestris pessimis et quare moriemini domus Israhel
12 Say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.
tu itaque fili hominis dic ad filios populi tui iustitia iusti non liberabit eum in quacumque die peccaverit et impietas impii non nocebit ei in quacumque die conversus fuerit ab impietate sua et iustus non poterit vivere in iustitia sua in quacumque die peccaverit
13 When I say to the righteous, [You shall live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.
etiam si dixero iusto quod vita vivat et confisus in iustitia sua fecerit iniquitatem omnes iustitiae eius oblivioni tradentur et in iniquitate sua quam operatus est in ipsa morietur
14 And when I say to the ungodly, You shall surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgement and justice,
sin autem dixero impio morte morieris et egerit paenitentiam a peccato suo feceritque iudicium et iustitiam
15 and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die.
pignus restituerit ille impius rapinamque reddiderit in mandatis vitae ambulaverit nec fecerit quicquam iniustum vita vivet et non morietur
16 None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgement and righteousness; by them shall he live.
omnia peccata eius quae peccavit non inputabuntur ei iudicium et iustitiam fecit vita vivet
17 Yet the children of your people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.
et dixerunt filii populi tui non est aequi ponderis via Domini et ipsorum via iniusta est
18 When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.
cum enim recesserit iustus a iustitia sua feceritque iniquitatem morietur in eis
19 And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgement and righteousness, he shall live by them.
et cum recesserit impius ab impietate sua feceritque iudicium et iustitiam vivet in eis
20 And this is that which you said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.
et dicitis non est recta via Domini unumquemque iuxta vias suas iudicabo de vobis domus Israhel
21 And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.
et factum est in duodecimo anno in duodecimo mense in quinta mensis transmigrationis nostrae venit ad me qui fugerat de Hierusalem dicens vastata est civitas
22 Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
manus autem Domini facta fuerat ad me vespere antequam veniret qui fugerat aperuitque os meum donec veniret ad me mane et aperto ore meo non silui amplius
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
24 Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
fili hominis qui habitant in ruinosis his super humum Israhel loquentes aiunt unus erat Abraham et hereditate possedit terram nos autem multi nobis data est terra in possessionem
idcirco dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus qui in sanguine comeditis et oculos vestros levatis ad inmunditias vestras et sanguinem funditis numquid terram hereditate possidebitis
stetistis in gladiis vestris fecistis abominationes et unusquisque uxorem proximi sui polluit et terram hereditate possidebitis
27 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will kill with pestilence.
haec dices ad eos sic dicit Dominus Deus vivo ego quia qui in ruinosis habitant gladio cadent et qui in agro est bestiis tradetur ad devorandum qui autem in praesidiis et in speluncis sunt peste morientur
28 And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through.
et dabo terram in solitudinem et desertum et deficiet superba fortitudo eius et desolabuntur montes Israhel eo quod nullus sit qui per eos transeat
29 And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.
et scient quia ego Dominus cum dedero terram desolatam et desertam propter universas abominationes suas quas operati sunt
30 And [as for] you, son of man, the children of your people are they that speak concerning you by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord.
et tu fili hominis filii populi tui qui loquuntur de te iuxta muros et in ostiis domorum et dicunt unus ad alterum vir ad proximum suum loquentes venite et audiamus qui sit sermo egrediens a Domino
31 They approach you as a people comes together, and sit before you, and hear your words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.
et veniunt ad te quasi si ingrediatur populus et sedent coram te populus meus et audiunt sermones tuos et non faciunt eos quia in canticum oris sui vertunt illos et avaritiam suam sequitur cor eorum
32 And you are to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned lute, and they will hear your words, but they will not do them.
et es eis quasi carmen musicum quod suavi dulcique sono canitur et audient verba tua et non facient ea
33 But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
et cum venerit quod praedictum est ecce enim venit tunc scient quod prophetes fuerit inter eos
