Ezekiel 12
1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 'Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
Fili hominis in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas: qui oculos habent ad videndum, et non vident: et aures ad audiendum, et non audiunt: quia domus exasperans est.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for exile, and remove as though for exile by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight; it may be they will perceive, for they are a rebellious house.
Tu ergo fili hominis, fac tibi vasa transmigrationis, et transmigrabis per diem coram eis: transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum, si forte aspiciant: quia domus exasperans est.
4 And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for exile; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
Et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum: tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem: et egredieris per eum.
6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the darkness; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground; for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.'
In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis, in caligine effereris: faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram. Quia portentum dedi te domui Israel.
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for exile, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I carried out in the darkness, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
Feci ergo sicut præceperat mihi Dominus: vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem: et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu: et in caligine egressus sum, in humeris portatus in conspectu eorum.
8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens:
9 'Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee: What doest thou?
Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israel, domus exasperans: Quid tu facis?
10 Say thou unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Concerning the prince, even this burden, in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are,
Dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Ierusalem, et super omnem domum Israel, quæ est in medio eorum.
11 say: I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them — they shall go into exile, into captivity.
Dic: Ego portentum vestrum: quomodo feci, sic fiet illis. In transmigrationem, et in captivitatem ibunt.
12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder, and go forth in the darkness; they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
Et dux, qui est in medio eorum, in humeris portabitur, in caligine egredietur: parietem perfodient ut educant eum: facies eius operietur ut non videat oculo terram.
13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
Et extendam rete meum super eum, et capietur in sagena mea: et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldæorum: et ipsam non videbit, ibique morietur.
14 And I will disperse toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.
Et omnes, qui circa eum sunt, præsidium eius, et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum: et gladium evaginabo post eos.
15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in Gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
Et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio, et fame, et pestilentia: ut enarrent omnia scelera eorum in Gentibus, ad quas ingredientur: et scient quia ego Dominus.
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
18 'Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with anxiety;
Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede: sed et aquam tuam in festinatione, et mœrore bibe.
19 and say unto the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel. They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with appalment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
Et dices ad populum terræ: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad eos, qui habitant in Ierusalem in terra Israel: Panem suum in solicitudine comedent, et aquam suam in desolatione bibent: ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua, propter iniquitatem omnium, qui habitant in ea.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
Et civitates, quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
22 'Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying: The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israel? dicentium: In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio.
23 Tell them therefore: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them: The days are at hand, and the word of every vision.
Ideo dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quiescere faciam proverbium istud, neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israel: et loquere ad eos quod appropinquaverint dies, et sermo omnis visionis.
24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor smooth divination within the house of Israel.
Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israel.
25 For I am the LORD; I will speak, what word soever it be that I shall speak, and it shall be performed; it shall be no more delayed; for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.'
Quia ego Dominus loquar: et quodcumque locutus fuero verbum, fiet, et non prolongabitur amplius: sed in diebus vestris domus exasperans loquar verbum, et faciam illud, dicit Dominus Deus.
26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
27 'Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say: The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.
Fili hominis, ecce domus Israel dicentium: Visio, quam hic videt, in dies multos: et in tempora longa iste prophetat.
28 Therefore say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: There shall none of My words be delayed any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord GOD.'
Propterea dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus: verbum, quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.
