Ezekiel 24
1 Again in the ninth yeere, in the tenth moneth, in the tenth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens:
2 Sonne of man, write thee the name of the day, euen of this same day: for the King of Babel set himselfe against Ierusalem this same day.
Fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Ierusalem hodie.
3 Therefore speake a parable vnto the rebellious house, and say vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord God, Prepare a pot, prepare it, and also powre water into it.
Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pone ollam; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, euen euery good piece, as the thigh and the shoulder, and fill it with the chiefe bones.
Congere frusta eius in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena.
5 Take one of the best sheepe, and burne also the bones vnder it, and make it boyle well, and seethe the bones of it therein,
Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea: efferbuit coctio eius, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius.
6 Because the Lord God sayth thus, Woe to the bloody citie, euen to the pot, whose skomme is therein, and whose skomme is not gone out of it: bring it out piece by piece: let no lot fall vpon it.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ civitati sanguinum, ollæ, cuius rubigo in ea est, et rubigo eius non exivit de ea: per partes et per partes suas eiice eam, non cecidit super eam sors.
7 For her blood is in the middes of her: shee set it vpon an high rocke, and powred it not vpon on the ground to couer it with dust,
Sanguis enim eius in medio eius est, super limpidissimam petram effudit illum: non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere.
8 That it might cause wrath to arise, and take vengeance: euen I haue set her blood vpon an high rocke that it should not be couered.
Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer: dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur.
9 Therefore thus saith ye Lord God, Woe to the bloody citie, for I will make ye burning great.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ civitati sanguinum, cuius ego grandem faciam pyram.
10 Heape on much wood: kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and cast in spice, and let the bones be burnt.
Congere ossa, quæ igne succendam: consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent.
11 Then set it emptie vpon the coles thereof, that the brasse of it may be hot, and may burne, and that the filthinesse of it may be molten in it, and that the skomme of it may be consumed.
Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat æs eius: et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius, et consumatur rubigo eius:
12 She hath wearied her selfe with lyes, and her great skomme went not out of her: therefore her skomme shall be consumed with fire.
multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo eius, neque per ignem.
13 Thou remainest in thy filthines and wickednes: because I would haue purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthines, till I haue caused my wrath to light vpon thee.
Immunditia tua execrabilis: quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis: sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.
14 I the Lord haue spoken it: it shall come to passe, and I will doe it: I will not goe backe, neither will I spare, neither will I repent: according to thy wayes, and according to thy workes shall they iudge thee, sayeth the Lord God.
Ego Dominus locutus sum: Veniet, et faciam: non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor: iuxta vias tuas, et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicabo te, dicit Dominus.
15 Also the worde of ye Lord came vnto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
16 Sonne of man beholde, I take away from thee the pleasure of thine eyes with a plague: yet shalt thou neither mourne nor weepe, neither shall thy teares runne downe.
Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga: et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrymæ tuæ.
17 Cease from sighing: make no mourning for the dead, and binde the tyre of thine head vpon thee, and put on thy shooes vpon thy feete, and couer not thy lips, and eate not the bread of men.
Ingemisce tacens, mortuorum luctum non facies: corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis, nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.
18 So I spake vnto the people in the morning, and at euen my wife dyed: and I did in the morning, as I was commanded.
Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere: fecique mane sicut præceperat mihi.
19 And the people said vnto me, Wilt thou not tell vs what these things meane towarde vs that thou doest so?
Et dixit ad me populus: Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent, quæ tu facis?
20 Then I answered them, The worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Et dixi ad eos: Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens:
21 Speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, I will pollute my Sanctuarie, euen the pride of your power, the pleasure of your eyes, and your hearts desire, and your sonnes, and your daughters whom ye haue left, shall fall by the sworde.
Loquere domui Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra: filii vestri, et filiæ vestræ, quas reliquistis, gladio cadent.
22 And ye shall doe as I haue done: ye shall not couer your lippes, neither shall ye eate the bread of men.
Et facietis sicut feci: Ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis.
23 And your tyre shalbe vpon your heads, and your shooes vpon your feete: ye shall not mourne nor weepe, but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourne one toward another.
Coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus: non plangetis neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum.
24 Thus Ezekiel is vnto you a signe: according to all that he hath done, ye shall do: and when this commeth, ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum: iuxta omnia, quæ fecit, facietis cum venerit istud: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
25 Also, thou sonne of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their power, ye ioy of their honor, ye pleasure of their eyes, and the desire of their heart, their sonnes and their daughters?
Et tu fili hominis ecce in die, qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animæ eorum, filios, et filias eorum:
26 That he that escapeth in that day, shall come vnto thee to tell thee that which hee hath heard with his eares?
In die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te, ut annunciet tibi:
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speake, and be no more dumme, and thou shalt be a signe vnto them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
In die, inquam, illa aperietur os tuum cum eo, qui fugit: et loqueris, et non silebis ultra: erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
