Ezekiel 5

1 “Son of man, go and shave your head and your beard using a sharp sword like a barber's razor. Then divide up the hair using a set of scales.

et tu fili hominis sume tibi gladium acutum radentem pilos adsumes eum et duces per caput tuum et per barbam tuam et adsumes tibi stateram ponderis et divides eos

2 Once the days of the siege have finished, burn up one third of the hair inside the city; slash at another third with a sword around the city; and scatter another third in the wind. I will let loose a sword behind them to chase them.

tertiam partem igni conbures in medio civitatis iuxta conpletionem dierum obsidionis et adsumens tertiam partem concides gladio in circuitu eius tertiam vero aliam disperges in ventum et gladium nudabo post eos

3 Take just a few hairs and tuck them into the hem of your clothes.

et sumes inde parvum numerum et ligabis eos in summitate pallii tui

4 Take some of these and toss them into the fire to burn them. A fire will spread from there to burn everyone in Israel.

et ex eis rursum tolles et proicies in medio ignis et conbures eos igni ex eo egredietur ignis in omnem domum Israhel

5 This is what the Lord God says: This represents Jerusalem. I placed her right in the middle of the nations, surrounded by other countries.

haec dicit Dominus Deus ista est Hierusalem in medio gentium posui eam et in circuitu eius terras

6 But she rebelled against my rules, acting more wickedly than the nations, and she defied my regulations more than the countries surrounding her. Her people rejected my rules and refused to follow my regulations.

et contempsit iudicia mea ut plus esset impia quam gentes et praecepta mea ultra quam terrae quae in circuitu eius sunt iudicia enim mea proiecerunt et in praeceptis meis non ambulaverunt

7 Consequently this is what the Lord God says: You have caused more trouble than the nations around you. You refused to follow my rules and keep my regulations. In fact you didn't even live up to the standards of the nations surrounding you.

idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus quia superastis gentes quae in circuitu vestro sunt in praeceptis meis non ambulastis et iudicia mea non fecistis et iuxta iudicia gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt non estis operati

8 So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because it's me who is condemning you, Jerusalem! I'm going to carry out my sentence against you while the other nations watch.

ideo haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te et ipse ego faciam in medio tui iudicia in oculis gentium

9 Because of all the disgusting things you've done, I'm going to do to you what I've never done before—and I won't ever do again.

et faciam in te quae non feci et quibus similia ultra non faciam propter omnes abominationes tuas

10 In your city parents will eat their own children, and children will eat their parents. I'm going to punish you and scatter in every directions those who are left.

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 As I live, declares the Lord God, because you have made my sanctuary unclean with all your offensive idols and disgusting practices, I will stop treating you well. I won't be kind to you—I won't show you any pity.

idcirco vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus nisi pro eo quod sanctum meum violasti in omnibus offensionibus tuis et in omnibus abominationibus tuis ego quoque confringam et non parcet oculus meus et non miserebor

12 A third of your people will die from disease or starvation inside the city; a third will be killed by the sword outside the city walls; and a third I will scatter in the wind in all directions, and let loose a sword behind them to chase them.

tertia tui pars peste morietur et fame consumetur in medio tui et tertia tui pars gladio cadet in circuitu tuo tertiam vero partem tuam in omnem ventum dispergam et gladium evaginabo post eos

13 Once my anger is over and I've finished punishing them, then I'll be satisfied. When I've finished punishing them, then they'll know that I, the Lord, meant what I said when I spoke so strongly.

et conpleam 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'm going to ruin you and humiliate you in front of the nations surrounding you, in the sight of every passer-by.

et dabo te in desertum et in obprobrium in gentibus quae in circuitu tuo sunt in conspectu omnis praetereuntis

15 You will be criticized and mocked, you'll be a warning and something horrifying to the surrounding nations when I carry out my sentence against you in my rage and furious anger. I the Lord have spoken.

et eris obprobrium et blasphemia exemplum et stupor in gentibus quae in circuitu tuo sunt cum fecero in te iudicia in furore et in indignatione et in increpationibus irae

16 When I pour down on you deadly arrows of famine and destruction they're intended to kill you. I will make your famine worse by stopping your food supply.

ego Dominus locutus sum quando misero sagittas famis pessimas in eos quae erunt mortiferae et quas mittam ut disperdam vos et famem congregabo super vos et conteram vobis baculum panis

17 I will send famine and wild animals to attack you. You'll have no children left. Disease and killing will sweep over you, and I will bring armies to attack you. I the Lord have spoken.”

et inmittam in vos famem et bestias pessimas usque ad internicionem et pestilentia et sanguis transibunt per te et gladium inducam super te ego Dominus locutus sum
