< Ezekiel 16 >
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
Fili hominis notas fac Ierusalem abominationes suas:
3 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother an Hittite.
et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Ierusalem: Radix tua, et generatio tua de terra Chanaan: pater tuus Amorrhæus, et mater tua Cethæa.
4 And as for your nativity, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to clean you; you were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Et quando nata es in die ortus tui non est præcisus umbilicus tuus, et aqua non es lota in salutem, nec sale salita, nec involuta pannis.
5 None eye pitied you, to do any of these unto you, to have compassion upon you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person, in the day that you were born.
Non pepercit super te oculus ut faceret tibi unum de his, misertus tui: sed proiecta es super faciem terræ in abiectione animæ tuæ, in die qua nata es.
6 And when I passed by you, and saw you polluted in your own blood, I said unto you when you were in your blood, Live; yea, I said unto you when you were in your blood, Live.
Transiens autem per te, vidi te conculcari in sanguine tuo. Et dixi tibi cum esses in sanguine tuo: Vive: dixi, inquam, tibi in sanguine tuo: Vive.
7 I have caused you to multiply as the bud of the field, and you have increased and becoming great, and you are come to excellent ornaments: your breasts are fashioned, and your hair is grown, whereas you were naked and bare.
Multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te: et multiplicata es, et grandis effecta, et ingressa es, et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem: ubera tua intumuerunt, et pilus tuus germinavit: et eras nuda, et confusione plena.
8 Now when I passed by you, and looked upon you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yea, I swore unto you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.
Et transivi per te, et vidi te: et ecce tempus tuum, tempus amantium: et expandi amictum meum super te, et operui ignominiam tuam. Et iuravi tibi, et ingressus sum pactum tecum: ait Dominus Deus: et facta es mihi.
9 Then washed I you with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
Et lavi te aqua, et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te: et unxi te oleo.
10 I clothed you also with broidered work, and shod you with badgers' skin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and I covered you with silk.
Et vestivi te discoloribus, et calceavi te ianthino: et cinxi te bysso, et indui te subtilibus.
11 I decked you also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon your hands, and a chain on your neck.
Et ornavi te ornamento, et dedi armillas in manibus tuis, et torquem circa collum tuum.
12 And I put a jewel on your forehead, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
Et dedi inaurem super os tuum, et circulos auribus tuis, et coronam decoris in capite tuo.
13 Thus were you decked with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; you did eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper into a kingdom.
Et ornata es auro, et argento, et vestita es bysso, et polymito, et multicoloribus: similam, et mel, et oleum comedisti, et decora facta es vehementer nimis: et profecisti in regnum.
14 And your renown went forth among the heathen for your beauty: for it was perfect through my loveliness, which I had put upon you, says the Lord GOD.
Et egressum est nomen tuum in Gentes propter speciem tuam: quia perfecta eras in decore meo, quem posueram super te, dicit Dominus Deus.
15 But you did trust in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua fornicata es in nomine tuo: et exposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti ut eius fieres.
16 And of your garments you did take, and decked your high places with divers colours, and played the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Et sumens de vestimentis tuis fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta: et fornicata es super eis, sicut non est factum, neque futurum est.
17 You have also taken your fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men, and did commit whoredom with them,
Et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo, atque argento meo, quæ dedi tibi: et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas, et fornicata es in eis.
18 And took your broidered garments, and covered them: and you have set mine oil and mine incense before them.
Et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria, et operuisti illas: et oleum meum, et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis.
19 My food also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed you, you have even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, says the Lord GOD.
Et panem meum, quem dedi tibi, similam, et oleum, et mel, quibus enutrivi te, posuisti in conspectu eorum in odorem suavitatis, et factum est, ait Dominus Deus.
20 Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne unto me, and these have you sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of your whoredoms a small matter,
Et tulisti filios tuos, et filias tuas, quas generasti mihi: et immolasti eis ad devorandum. Numquid parva est fornicatio tua?
21 That you have slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Immolasti filios meos, et dedisti, illos consecrans, eis.
22 And in all of your abominations and your whoredoms you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were polluted in your blood.
Et post omnes abominationes tuas, et fornicationes, non es recordata dierum adolescentiæ tuæ, quando eras nuda, et confusione plena, conculcata in sanguine tuo.
23 And it came to pass after all your wickedness, (woe, woe unto you! says the LORD GOD; )
Et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam (væ, væ tibi, ait Dominus Deus)
24 That you have also built unto you an eminent place, and have made you an high place in every street.
et ædificasti tibi lupanar, et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis.
25 You have built your high place at every head of the way, and have made your beauty to be abhorred, and have opened your feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied your whoredoms.
Ad omne caput viæ ædificasti signum prostitutionis tuæ: et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum: et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti, et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas.
26 You have also committed fornication with the Egyptians your neighbours, great of flesh; and have increased your whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
Et fornicata es cum filiis Ægypti vicinis tuis magnarum carnium: et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad irritandum me.
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you unto the will of them that hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of your lewd way.
Ecce ego extendam manum meam super te, et auferam iustificationem tuam: et dabo te in animas odientium te filiarum Palæstinarum, quæ erubescunt in via tua scelerata.
28 You have played the whore also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yea, you have played the harlot with them, and yet could not be satisfied.
Et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum, eo quod necdum fueris expleta: et postquam fornicata es, nec sic es satiata.
29 You have moreover multiplied your fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied therewith.
Et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in Terra Chanaan cum Chaldæis: et nec sic satiata es.
30 How weak is your heart, says the LORD GOD, seeing you do all these things, the work of an domineering whorish woman;
In quo mundabo cor tuum, ait Dominus Deus; cum facias omnia hæc opera mulieris meretricis, et procacis?
31 In that you build your eminent place in the head of every way, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as an harlot, in that you scorn hire;
Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viæ, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea: nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium,
32 But as a wife that commits adultery, which takes strangers instead of her husband!
sed quasi mulier adultera, quæ super virum suum inducit alienos.
33 They give gifts to all whores: but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come unto you on every side for your whoredom.
Omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes: tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis, et dona donabas eis ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum.
34 And the contrary is in you from other women in your whoredoms, whereas none follows you to commit whoredoms: and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given unto you, therefore you are contrary.
Factumque est in te contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis, et post te non erit fornicatio: in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes, et mercedes non accepisti, factum est in te contrarium.
35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
Propterea meretrix audi verbum Domini.
36 Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness discovered through your whoredoms with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you did give unto them;
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia effusum est æs tuum, et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis super amatores tuos, et super idola abominationum tuarum in sanguine filiorum tuorum, quos dedisti eis:
37 Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all them that you have loved, with all them that you have hated; I will even gather them round about against you, and will discover your nakedness unto them, that they may see all your nakedness.
Ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos, quibus commista es, et omnes, quos dilexisti cum universis, quos oderas: et congregabo eos super te undique, et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis, et videbunt omnem turpitudinem tuam.
38 And I will judge you, as women that violate marriage bond and shed blood are judged; and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.
Et iudicabo te iudiciis adulterarum, et effundentium sanguinem: et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli.
39 And I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your eminent place, and shall break down your high places: they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
Et dabo te in manus eorum, et destruent lupanar tuum: et demolientur prostibulum tuum: et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et auferent vasa decoris tui: et derelinquent te nudam, plenamque ignominia:
40 They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
et adducent super te multitudinem, et lapidabunt te lapidibus, et trucidabunt te gladiis suis.
41 And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women: and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire any more.
Et comburent domos tuas igni, et facient in te iudicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum: et desines fornicari, et mercedes ultra non dabis.
42 So will I make my fury toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Et requiescet indignatio mea in te: et auferetur zelus meus a te, et quiescam, nec irascar amplius.
43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense your way upon your head, says the Lord GOD: and you shall not commit this lewdness above all of your abominations.
Eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adolescentiæ tuæ, et provocasti me in omnibus his: quapropter et ego vias tuas in capite tuo dedi, ait Dominus Deus, et non feci iuxta scelera tua in omnibus abominationibus tuis.
44 Behold, every one that uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Ecce omnis, qui dicit vulgo proverbium, in te assumet illud, dicens: Sicut mater, ita et filia eius.
45 You are your mother's daughter, that detests her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Filia matris tuæ es tu, quæ proiecit virum suum, et filios suos: et soror sororum tuarum es tu, quæ proiecerunt viros suos, et filios suos: mater vestra Cethæa, et pater vester Amorrhæus.
46 And your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at your left hand: and your younger sister, that dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Et soror tua maior, Samaria, ipsa et filiæ eius, quæ habitant ad sinistram tuam: soror autem tua minor te, quæ habitat a dextris tuis, Sodoma, et filiæ eius.
47 Yet have you not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways.
Sed nec in viis earum ambulasti, neque secundum scelera earum fecisti pauxillum minus: pene sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis.
48 As I live, says the Lord GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua ipsa, et filiæ eius, sicut fecisti tu, et filiæ tuæ.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Ecce hæc fuit iniquitas Sodomæ sororis tuæ, superbia, saturitas panis et abundantia, et otium ipsius, et filiarum eius: et manum egeno, et pauperi non porrigebant.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Et elevatæ sunt, et fecerunt abominationes coram me: et abstuli eas sicut vidisti.
51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters in all of your abominations which you have done.
Et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum non peccavit: sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis, et iustificasti sorores tuas in omnibus abominationibus tuis, quas operata es.
52 You also, which have judged your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins that you have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than you: yea, be you confounded also, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
Ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam, quæ vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis, scelerantius agens ab eis: iustificatæ sunt enim a te: ergo et tu confundere, et porta ignominiam tuam, quæ iustificasti sorores tuas.
53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of your captives in the midst of them:
Et convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis, et conversione Samariæ, et filiarum eius: et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum,
54 That you may bear your own shame, and may be confounded in all that you have done, in that you are a comfort unto them.
ut portes ignominiam tuam, et confundaris in omnibus, quæ fecisti consolans eas.
55 When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
Et soror tua Sodoma, et filiæ eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et Samaria, et filiæ eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et tu, et filiæ tuæ revertemini ad antiquitatem vestram.
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
Non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo, in die superbiæ tuæ,
57 Before your wickedness was discovered, as at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise you round about.
antequam revelaretur malitia tua: sicut hoc tempore in opprobrium filiarum Syriæ, et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palæstinarum, quæ ambiunt te per gyrum.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.
Scelus tuum, et ignominiam tuam tu portasti, ait Dominus Deus.
59 For thus says the Lord GOD; I will even deal with you as you have done, which have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et faciam tibi sicut despexisti iuramentum, ut irritum faceres pactum:
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish unto you an everlasting covenant.
et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adolescentiæ tuæ: et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum.
61 Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder and your younger: and I will give them unto you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
Et recordaberis viarum tuarum, et confunderis: cum receperis sorores tuas te maiores cum minoribus tuis: et dabo eas tibi in filias, sed non ex pacto tuo.
62 And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD:
Et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum: et scies quia ego Dominus,
63 That you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I am pacified toward you for all that you have done, says the Lord GOD.
ut recorderis, et confundaris, et non sit tibi ultra aperire os præ confusione tua, cum placatus tibi fuero in omnibus, quæ fecisti, ait Dominus Deus.
