< Ezekiel 22 >

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yea, you shall show her all her abominations.
Et tu fili hominis nonne iudicas, nonne iudicas civitatem sanguinum?
3 Then say you, Thus says the Lord GOD, The city sheds blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
Et ostendes ei omnes abominationes suas, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Civitas effundens sanguinem in medio sui ut veniat tempus eius: et quæ fecit idola contra semetipsam ut pollueretur.
4 You are become guilty in your blood that you have shed; and have defiled yourself in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and are come even unto your years: therefore have I made you a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
In sanguine tuo, qui a te effusus est, deliquisti: et in idolis tuis, quæ fecisti, polluta es: et appropinquare fecisti dies tuos, et adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum: propterea dedi te opprobrium Gentibus, et irrisionem universis terris.
5 Those that be near, and those that be far from you, shall mock you, which are ill repute and much vexed.
Quæ iuxta sunt, et quæ procul a te, triumphabunt de te: sordida, nobilis, grandis interitu.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in you to their power to shed blood.
Ecce principes Israel singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem.
7 In you have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in you have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
Patrem, et matrem contumeliis affecerunt in te, advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui, pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te:
8 You have despised mine holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Sanctuaria mea sprevisti, et Sabbata mea polluisti.
9 In you are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in you they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of you they commit lewdness.
Viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem, et super montes comederunt in te, scelus operati sunt in medio tui.
10 In you have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in you have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
Verecundiora patris discooperuerunt in te, immunditiam menstruatæ humiliaverunt in te.
11 And one has committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Et unusquisque in uxorem proximi sui operatus est abominationem, et socer nurum suam polluit nefarie, frater sororem suam filiam patris sui oppressit in te.
12 In you have they taken gifts to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbours by extortion, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
Munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem: usuram, et superabundantiam accepisti, et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris: meique oblita es, ait Dominus Deus.
13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
Ecce complosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam, quam fecisti, et super sanguinem, qui effusus est in medio tui.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
Numquid sustinebit cor tuum, aut prævalebunt manus tuæ in diebus, quos ego faciam tibi? Ego Dominus locutus sum, et faciam.
15 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and disperse you in the countries, and will consume your filthiness out of you.
Et dispergam te in nationes, et ventilabo te in terras, et deficere faciam immunditiam tuam a te.
16 And you shall take your inheritance in yourself in the sight of the heathen, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
Et possidebo te in conspectu Gentium: et scies quia ego Dominus.
17 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
Fili hominis, versa est mihi domus Israel in scoriam: omnes isti æs, et stannum, et ferrum, et plumbum in medio fornacis: scoria argenti facti sunt.
19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because all of you are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam, propterea ecce ego congregabo vos in medio Ierusalem,
20 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
congregatione argenti, et æris, et stanni, et ferri, et plumbi in medio fornacis: ut succendam in ea ignem ad conflandum. Sic congregabo in furore meo, et in ira mea, et requiescam: et conflabo vos.
21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and all of you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Et congregabo vos, et succendam vos in igne furoris mei, et conflabimini in medio eius.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall all of you be melted in the midst thereof; and all of you shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
Ut conflatur argentum in medio fornacis, sic eritis in medio eius: et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum effuderim indignationem meam super vos.
23 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
24 Son of man, say unto her, You are the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
Fili hominis, dic ei: Tu es terra immunda, et non compluta in die furoris.
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
Coniuratio prophetarum in medio eius, sicut leo rugiens, rapiensque prædam, animas devoraverunt, opes et pretium acceperunt, viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius.
26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Sacerdotes eius contempserunt legem meam, et polluerunt sanctuaria mea: inter sanctum et profanum non habuerunt distantiam: et inter pollutum et mundum non intellexerunt: et a Sabbatis meis averterunt oculos suos, et coinquinabar in medio eorum.
27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Principes eius in medio illius, quasi lupi rapientes prædam ad effundendum sanguinem, et ad perdendas animas, et avare ad sectanda lucra.
28 And her prophets have daubed them with plaster, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus says the Lord GOD, when the LORD has not spoken.
Prophetæ autem eius liniebant eos absque temperamento, videntes vana, et divinantes eis mendacium, dicentes: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus, cum Dominus non sit locutus.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
Populi terræ calumniabantur calumniam, et rapiebant violenter: egenum, et pauperem affligebant, et advenam opprimebant calumnia absque iudicio.
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Et quæsivi de eis virum, qui interponeret sepem, et staret oppositus contra me pro terra, ne dissiparem eam: et non inveni.
31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, says the Lord GOD.
Et effudi super eos indignationem meam, in igne iræ meæ consumpsi eos: viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi, ait Dominus Deus.
