Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop your word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Fili hominis pone faciem tuam ad Ierusalem, et stilla ad sanctuaria, et propheta contra humum Israel:
3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
Et dices terrae Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, et eiiciam gladium meum de vagina sua, et occidam in te iustum, et impium.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Pro eo autem quod occidi in te iustum, et impium, idcirco egredietur gladius meus de vagina sua ad omnem carnem ab Austro usque ad Aquilonem:
5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
Ut sciat omnis caro quia ego Dominus eduxi gladium meum de vagina sua irrevocabilem.
6 Sigh therefore, you son of man, with the breaking of your loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
Et tu fili hominis ingemisce in contritione lumborum, et in amaritudinibus ingemisce coram eis.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto you, Wherefore sigh you? that you shall answer, For the tidings; because it comes: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the Lord GOD.
Cumque dixerint ad te: Quare tu gemis? dices: Pro auditu: quia venit, et tabescet omne cor, et dissolventur universae manus, et infirmabitur omnis spiritus, et per cuncta genua fluent aquae: ecce venit, et fiet, ait Dominus Deus.
8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
Fili hominis propheta, et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Loquere: Gladius, gladius exacutus est, et limatus.
10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make delight? it despises the rod of my son, as every tree.
Ut caedat victimas, exacutus est: ut splendeat, limatus est: qui moves sceptrum filii mei, succidisti omne lignum.
11 And he has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Et dedi eum ad levigandum ut teneatur manu: iste exacutus est gladius, et iste limatus est ut sit in manu interficientis.
12 Cry and wail, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: strike therefore upon your thigh.
Clama, et ulula fili hominis, quia hic factus est in populo meo, hic in cunctis ducibus Israel, qui fugerant: gladio traditi sunt cum populo meo, idcirco plaude super foemur,
13 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, says the Lord GOD.
quia probatus est: et hoc, cum sceptrum subverterit, et non erit, dicit Dominus Deus.
14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which enters into their privy chambers.
Tu ergo fili hominis propheta, et percute manu ad manum, et duplicetur gladius, ac triplicetur gladius interfectorum: hic est gladius occisionis magnae, qui obstupescere eos facit,
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
et corde tabescere, et multiplicat ruinas. In omnibus portis eorum dedi conturbationem gladii acuti, et limati ad fulgendum, amicti ad caedem.
16 Go you one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, anywhere your face is set.
Exacuere, vade ad dexteram, sive ad sinistram, quocumque faciei tuae est appetitus.
17 I will also strike mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
Quin et ego plaudam manu ad manum, et implebo indignationem meam ego Dominus locutus sum.
18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
19 Also, you son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both two shall come forth out of one land: and choose you a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
Et tu fili hominis pone tibi duas vias, ut veniat gladius regis Babylonis: de terra una egredientur ambae: et manu capiet coniecturam, in capite viae civitatis coniiciet.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
Viam pones ut veniat gladius ad Rabbath filiorum Ammon, et ad Iudam in Ierusalem munitissimam.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
Stetit enim rex Babylonis in bivio, in capite duarum viarum, divinationem quaerens, commiscens sagittas: interrogavit idola, exta consuluit.
22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
Ad dexteram eius facta est divinatio super Ierusalem ut ponat arietes, ut aperiat os in caede, ut elevet vocem in ululatu, ut ponat arietes contra portas, ut comportet aggerem, ut aedificet munitiones.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
Eritque quasi consulens frustra oraculum in oculis eorum, et sabbatorum otium imitans: ipse autem recordabitur iniquitatis ad capiendum.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because all of you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that all of you are come to remembrance, all of you shall be taken with the hand.
Idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod recordati estis iniquitatis vestrae, et revelastis praevaricationes vestras, et apparuerunt peccata vestra in omnibus cogitationibus vestris: pro eo, inquam, quod recordati estis, manu capiemini.
25 And you, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, when iniquity shall have an end,
Tu autem profane, impie dux Israel, cuius venit dies in tempore iniquitatis praefinita:
26 Thus says the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and bring low him that is high.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Aufer cidarim, tolle coronam: nonne haec est, quae humilem sublevavit, et sublimem humiliavit?
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it him.
Iniquitatem, iniquitatem, iniquitatem ponam eam: et hoc non factum est donec veniret cuius est iudicium, et tradam ei.
28 And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say you, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:
Et tu fili hominis propheta, et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus ad filios Ammon, et ad opprobrium eorum, et dices: Mucro, mucro evagina te ad occidendum, lima te ut interficias, et fulgeas,
29 While they see vanity unto you, while they divine a lie unto you, to bring you upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day has come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
cum tibi viderentur vana, et divinarentur mendacia: ut dareris super colla vulneratorum impiorum, quorum venit dies in tempore iniquitatis praefinita.
30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity.
Revertere ad vaginam tuam in loco, in quo creatus es, in terra nativitatis tuae iudicabo te,
31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon you, I will blow against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.
et effundam super te indignationem meam: in igne furoris mei sufflabo in te, daboque te in manus hominum insipientium, et fabricantium interitum.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
Igni eris cibus, sanguis tuus erit in medio terrae, oblivioni traderis: quia ego Dominus locutus sum.
