Ezekiel 20
1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and they sat before me.
Et factum est in anno septimo, in quinto, in decima mensis: venerunt viri de senioribus Israel ut interrogarent Dominum, et sederunt coram me.
2 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
Fili hominis loquere senioribus Israel, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid ad interrogandum me vos venistis? vivo ego quia non respondebo vobis, ait Dominus Deus.
4 Wilt thou judge them, wilt thou judge, son of man? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,
Si iudicas eos, si iudicas fili hominis, abominationes patrum eorum ostende eis.
5 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I [am] Jehovah your God,
Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die, qua elegi Israel, et levavi manum meam pro stirpe domus Iacob, et apparui eis in Terra Ægypti, et levavi manum meam pro eis, dicens: Ego Dominus Deus vester:
6 in that day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
in die illa levavi manum meam pro eis, ut educerem eos de Terra Ægypti, in Terram, quam provideram eis, fluentem lacte, et melle: quæ est egregia inter omnes terras.
7 and I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] Jehovah your God.
Et dixi ad eos: Unusquisque offensiones oculorum suorum abiiciat, et in idolis Ægypti nolite pollui: ego Dominus Deus vester.
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: none of them cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I thought to pour out my fury upon them, so as to accomplish mine anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Et irritaverunt me, nolueruntque me audire: unusquisque abominationes oculorum suorum non proiecit, nec idola Ægypti reliquerunt: et dixi ut effunderem indignationem meam super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis, in medio Terræ Ægypti.
9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram Gentibus, in quarum medio erant, et inter quas apparui eis ut educerem eos de Terra Ægypti.
10 And I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Eieci ergo eos de Terra Ægypti, et eduxi eos in desertum.
11 And I gave them my statutes, and made known unto them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them.
Et dedi eis præcepta mea, et iudicia mea ostendi eis, quæ faciens homo, vivet in eis.
12 And I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] Jehovah that hallow them.
Insuper et sabbata mea dedi eis, ut essent signum inter me et eos: et scirent quia ego Dominus sanctificans eos.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Et irritaverunt me domus Israel in deserto, in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et iudicia mea proiecerunt, quæ faciens homo vivet in eis: et sabbata mea violaverunt vehementer: dixi ergo ut effunderem furorem meum super eos in deserto, et consumerem eos.
14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
Et feci propter nomen meum, ne violaretur coram Gentibus de quibus eieci eos in conspectu earum.
15 And I also lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land that I had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
Ego igitur levavi manum meam super eos in deserto, ne inducerem eos in Terram, quam dedi eis fluentem lacte, et melle, præcipuam terrarum omnium:
16 because they rejected mine ordinances and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
Quia iudicia mea proiecerunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et sabbata mea violaverunt: post idola enim cor eorum gradiebatur.
17 But mine eye spared them so as not to destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Et pepercit oculus meus super eos ut non interficerem eos: nec consumpsi eos in deserto.
18 And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, neither keep their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
Dixi autem ad filios eorum in solitudine: In præceptis patrum vestrorum nolite incedere, nec iudicia eorum custodiatis, nec in idolis eorum polluamini:
19 I [am] Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;
Ego Dominus Deus vester: in præceptis meis ambulate, iudicia mea custodite, et facite ea:
20 and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] Jehovah your God.
Et sabbata mea sanctificate ut sint signum inter me et vos, et sciatis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
21 And the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned my sabbaths: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger against them in the wilderness.
Et exacerbaverunt me filii, in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt: et iudicia mea non custodierunt ut facerent ea: quæ cum fecerit homo, vivet in eis: et sabbata mea violaverunt: et comminatus sum ut effunderem furorem meum super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis in deserto.
22 But I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
Averti autem manum meam, et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram Gentibus, de quibus eieci eos in oculis earum.
23 I lifted up my hand also unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
Iterum levavi manum meam in eos in solitudine, ut dispergerem illos in nationes, et ventilarem in terras:
24 because they performed not mine ordinances, and rejected my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
eo quod iudicia mea non fecissent, et præcepta mea reprobassent, et sabbata mea violassent, et post idola patrum suorum fuissent oculi eorum.
25 And I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live;
Ergo et ego dedi eis præcepta non bona, et iudicia, in quibus non vivent:
26 and I defiled them by their own gifts, in that they devoted all that opened the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] Jehovah.
Et pollui eos in muneribus suis cum offerrent omne, quod aperit vulvam, propter delicta sua: et scient quia ego Dominus.
27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have wrought unfaithfulness against me.
Quamobrem loquere ad domum Israel, fili hominis: et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc et in hoc blasphemaverunt me patres vestri, cum sprevissent me contemnentes:
28 When I had brought them into the land which I had lifted up my hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; and there they placed their sweet savour, and there poured out their drink-offerings.
et induxissem eos in Terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut darem eis: viderunt omnem collem excelsum, et omne lignum nemorosum, et immolaverunt ibi victimas suas: et dederunt ibi irritationem oblationis suæ, et posuerunt ibi odorem suavitatis suæ, et libaverunt libationes suas.
29 And I said unto them, What is the high place whither ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
Et dixi ad eos: Quid est excelsum, ad quod vos ingredimini? et vocatum est nomen eius Excelsum usque ad hanc diem.
30 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and do ye commit fornication after their abominations?
Propterea dic ad domum Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Certe in via patrum vestrorum vos polluimini, et post offendicula eorum vos fornicamini:
31 And when ye offer your gifts, making your sons to pass through the fire, ye defile yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day; and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
et in oblatione donorum vestrorum, cum traducitis filios vestros per ignem, vos polluimini in omnibus idolis vestris usque hodie: et ego respondebo vobis domus Israel? Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non respondebo vobis.
32 And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, in serving wood and stone.
Neque cogitatio mentis vestræ fiet, dicentium: Erimus sicut Gentes, et sicut cognationes terræ ut colamus ligna, et lapides.
33 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I reign over you.
Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quoniam in manu forti, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso regnabo super vos.
34 And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out;
Et educam vos de populis: et congregabo vos de terris, in quibus dispersi estis, in manu valida, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso regnabo super vos.
35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
Et adducam vos in desertum populorum, et iudicabor vobiscum ibi facie ad faciem.
36 Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Sicut iudicio contendi adversum patres vestros in deserto Terræ Ægypti, sic iudicabo vos, dicit Dominus Deus.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
Et subiiciam vos sceptro meo, et inducam vos in vinculis fœderis.
38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
Et eligam de vobis transgressores, et impios, et de terra incolatus eorum educam eos, et in terram Israel non ingredientur: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols henceforth also, if none of you will hearken unto me; but profane my holy name no more with your gifts and with your idols.
Et vos domus Israel, Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Singuli post idola vestra ambulate, et servite eis. Quod si et in hoc non audieritis me, et nomen meum sanctum pollueritis ultra in muneribus vestris, et in idolis vestris:
40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel serve me, the whole of it, in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings and the first-fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
in monte sancto meo, in monte excelso Israel, ait Dominus Deus, ibi serviet mihi omnis domus Israel; omnes, inquam, in terra, in qua placebunt mihi, et ibi quæram primitias vestras, et initium decimarum vestrarum in omnibus sanctificationibus vestris.
41 As a sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you in the sight of the nations.
In odorem suavitatis suscipiam vos, cum eduxero vos de populis, et congregavero vos de terris, in quas dispersi estis, et sanctificabor in vobis in oculis nationum.
42 And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up my hand to give to your fathers.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum induxero vos ad terram Israel, in Terram, pro qua levavi manum meam, ut darem eam patribus vestris.
43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils which ye have committed.
Et recordabimini ibi viarum vestrarum, et omnium scelerum vestrorum, quibus polluti estis in eis: et displicebitis vobis in conspectu vestro in omnibus malitiis vestris, quas fecistis.
44 And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum benefecero vobis propter nomen meum, et non secundum vias vestras malas, neque secundum scelera vestra pessima domus Israel, ait Dominus Deus.
45 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [words] against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra viam Austri, et stilla ad Aphricum, et propheta ad saltum agri meridiani.
47 and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby.
Et dices saltui meridiano: Audi verbum Domini: hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego succendam in te ignem, et comburam in te omne lignum viride, et omne lignum aridum: non extinguetur flamma succensionis: et comburetur in ea omnis facies ab Austro usque ad Aquilonem.
48 And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
Et videbit universa caro quia ego Dominus succendi eam, nec extinguetur.
49 And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
Et dixi: A a a, Domine Deus: ipsi dicunt de me: Numquid non per parabolas loquitur iste?
