Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel.
et dixit ad me fili hominis quodcumque inveneris comede comede volumen istud et vadens loquere ad filios Israhel
2 And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book:
et aperui os meum et cibavit me volumine illo
3 And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
et dixit ad me fili hominis venter tuus comedet et viscera tua conplebuntur volumine isto quod ego do tibi et comedi illud et factum est in ore meo sicut mel dulce
4 And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them.
et dixit ad me fili hominis vade ad domum Israhel et loqueris verba mea ad eos
5 For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel:
non enim ad populum profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae tu mitteris ad domum Israhel
6 Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee.
neque ad populos multos profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae quorum non possis audire sermones et si ad illos mittereris ipsi audirent te
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart.
domus autem Israhel nolent audire te quia nolunt audire me omnis quippe domus Israhel adtrita fronte est et duro corde
8 Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads.
ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebus eorum et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum
9 I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house.
ut adamantem et ut silicem dedi faciem tuam ne timeas eos neque metuas a facie eorum quia domus exasperans est
10 And he said to me: Son of man, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee:
et dixit ad me fili hominis omnes sermones meos quos loquor ad te adsume in corde tuo et auribus tuis audi
11 And go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear and will forbear.
et vade ingredere ad transmigrationem ad filios populi tui et loqueris ad eos et dices eis haec dicit Dominus Deus si forte audiant et quiescant
12 And the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying: Blessed be the glory of the Lord, from his place.
et adsumpsit me spiritus et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnae benedicta gloria Domini de loco suo
13 And the noise of the wings of the living creatures striking one against another, and the noise of the wheels following the living creatures, and the noise of a great commotion.
et vocem alarum animalium percutientium alteram ad alteram et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia et vocem commotionis magnae
14 The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
spiritus quoque levavit me et adsumpsit me et abii amarus in indignatione spiritus mei manus enim Domini erat mecum confortans me
15 And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them.
et veni ad transmigrationem acervum novarum frugum ad eos qui habitabant iuxta flumen Chobar et sedi ubi illi sedebant et mansi ibi septem diebus maerens in medio eorum
16 And at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
cum autem pertransissent septem dies factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me.
fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israhel et audies de ore meo verbum et adnuntiabis eis ex me
18 If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
si dicente me ad impium morte morieris non adnuntiaveris ei neque locutus fueris ut avertatur a via sua impia et vivat ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram
19 But if thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
si autem tu adnuntiaveris impio et ille non fuerit conversus ab impietate sua et via sua impia ipse quidem in iniquitate sua morietur tu autem animam tuam liberasti
20 Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy hand.
sed et si conversus iustus a iustitia sua fecerit iniquitatem ponam offendiculum coram eo ipse morietur quia non adnuntiasti ei in peccato suo morietur et non erunt in memoria iustitiae eius quas fecit sanguinem vero eius de manu tua requiram
21 But if thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy soul.
si autem tu adnuntiaveris iusto ut non peccet iustus et ille non peccaverit vivens vivet quia adnuntiasti ei et tu animam tuam liberasti
22 And the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee.
et facta est super me manus Domini et dixit ad me surgens egredere in campum et ibi loquar tecum
23 And I rose up, and went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face.
et surgens egressus sum in campum et ecce ibi gloria Domini stabat quasi gloria quam vidi iuxta fluvium Chobar et cecidi in faciem meam
24 And the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet: and he spoke to me, and said to me: Go in; and shut thyself up in the midst of thy house.
et ingressus est in me spiritus et statuit me super pedes meos et locutus est mihi et dixit ad me ingredere et includere in medio domus tuae
25 And thou, O son of man, behold they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them: and thou shalt not go forth from the midst of them.
et tu fili hominis ecce data sunt super te vincula et ligabunt te in eis et non egredieris in medio eorum
26 And I will make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because they are a provoking house.
et linguam tuam adherescere faciam palato tuo et eris mutus nec quasi vir obiurgans quia domus exasperans est
27 But when I shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a provoking house.
cum autem locutus fuero tibi aperiam os tuum et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus qui audit audiat et qui quiescit quiescat quia domus exasperans est
