Ezekiel 14
1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Et venerunt ad me viri seniorum Israel, et sederunt coram me.
2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Fili hominis, viri isti posuerunt immunditias suas in cordibus suis, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerunt contra faciem suam: numquid interrogatus respondebo eis?
4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols;
Propter hoc loquere eis, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Homo, homo de domo Israel, qui posuerit immunditias suas in corde suo, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerit contra faciem suam, et venerit ad prophetam interrogans per eum me: ego Dominus respondebo ei in multitudine immunditiarum suarum:
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all cut off from me through their idols.
ut capiatur domus Israel in corde suo, quo recesserunt a me in cunctis idolis suis.
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Propterea dic ad domum Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Convertimini, et recedite ab idolis vestris, et ab universis contaminationibus vestris avertite facies vestras.
7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourns in Israel, which separates himself from me, and sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
Quia homo, homo de domo Israel, et de proselytis quicumque advena fuerit in Israel, si alienatus fuerit a me, et posuerit idola sua in corde suo, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerit contra faciem suam, et venerit ad prophetam ut interroget per eum me: ego Dominus respondebo ei per me.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and all of you shall know that I am the LORD.
Et ponam faciem meam super hominem illum, et faciam eum in exemplum, et in proverbium, et disperdam eum de medio populi mei: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
9 And if the prophet be deceived when he has spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Et propheta cum erraverit, et locutus fuerit verbum: ego Dominus decepi prophetam illum: et extendam manum meam super illum, et delebo eum de medio populi mei Israel.
10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeks unto him;
Et portabunt iniquitatem suam: iuxta iniquitatem interrogantis, sic iniquitas prophetæ erit:
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says the Lord GOD.
ut non erret ultra domus Israel a me, neque polluatur in universis prævaricationibus suis: sed sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum, ait Dominus exercituum.
12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
13 Son of man, when the land sins against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
Fili hominis, terra cum peccaverit mihi, ut prævaricetur prævaricans, extendam manum meam super eam, et conteram virgam panis eius: et immittam in eam famem, et interficiam de ea hominem, et iumentum.
14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord GOD.
Et si fuerint tres viri isti in medio eius, Noe, Daniel, et Iob: ipsi iustitia sua liberabunt animas suas, ait Dominus exercituum.
15 If I cause dangerous beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Quod si et bestias pessimas induxero super terram ut vastem eam; et fuerit invia, eo quod non sit pertransiens propter bestias:
16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
Tres viri isti si fuerint in ea, vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia nec filios, nec filias liberabunt: sed ipsi soli liberabuntur, terra autem desolabitur.
17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Vel si gladium induxero super terram illam, et dixero gladio: Transi per terram: et interfecero de ea hominem, et iumentum:
18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
et tres viri isti fuerint in medio eius: vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, non liberabunt filios, neque filias: sed ipsi soli liberabuntur.
19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
Si autem et pestilentiam immisero super terram illam, et effudero indignationem meam super eam in sanguine, ut auferam ex ea hominem, et iumentum:
20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Et Noe, et Daniel, et Iob fuerint in medio eius: vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia filium, et filiam non liberabunt: sed ipsi iustitia sua liberabunt animas suas.
21 For thus says the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the dangerous beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quod et si quattuor iudicia mea pessima, gladium, et famem, ac bestias malas, et pestilentiam immisero in Ierusalem ut interficiam de ea hominem, et pecus:
22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and all of you shall see their way and their doings: and all of you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
tamen relinquetur in ea salvatio educentium filios, et filias: ecce ipsi ingredientur ad vos, et videbitis viam eorum, et adinventiones eorum, et consolabimini super malo, quod induxi in Ierusalem in omnibus, quæ importavi super eam.
23 And they shall comfort you, when all of you see their ways and their doings: and all of you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, says the Lord GOD.
Et consolabuntur vos, cum videritis viam eorum, et adinventiones eorum: et cognoscetis quod non frustra fecerim omnia, quæ feci in ea, ait Dominus Deus.
