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 saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.

et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Ierusalem: Radix tua, et generatio tua de terra Chanaan: pater tuus Amorrhaeus, et mater tua Cethaea.

4 And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple [thee; ] thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

Et quando nata es in die ortus tui non est praecisus umbilicus tuus, et aqua non es lota in salutem, nec sale salita, nec involuta pannis.

5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

Non pepercit super te oculus ut faceret tibi unum de his, misertus tui: sed proiecta es super faciem terrae in abiectione animae tuae, in die qua nata es.

6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy 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 thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: [thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou [wast] 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 thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest 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 thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

Et lavi te aqua, et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te: et unxi te oleo.

10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

Et vestivi te discoloribus, et calceavi te hyacintho: et cinxi te bysso, et indui te subtilibus.

11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

Et ornavi te ornamento, et dedi armillas in manibus tuis, et torquem circa collum tuum.

12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

Et dedi inaurem super os tuum, et circulos auribus tuis, et coronam decoris in capite tuo.

13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

Et ornata es auro, et argento, et vestita es bysso, et polymito, similam, et mel, et oleum comedisti, et decora facta es vehementer nimis: et profecisti in regnum.

14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith 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 thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy 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 thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].

Et sumens de vestimentis meis fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta: et fornicata es super eis, sicut non est factum, neque futurum est.

17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,

Et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo, atque argento meo, quae dedi tibi: et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas, et fornicata es in eis.

18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

Et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria, et restita es eis: et oleum meum, et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis.

19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and [thus] it was, saith 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 thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy 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 thou hast 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 thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, [and] wast polluted in thy blood.

Et post omnes abominationes tuas, et fornicationes, non es recordata dierum adolescentiae tuae, quando eras nuda, et confusione plena, conculcata in sanguine tuo.

23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD; )

Et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam (vae, vae tibi, ait Dominus Deus)

24 [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.

et aedificasti tibi lupanar, et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis.

25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

Ad omne caput viae aedificasti signum prostitutionis tuae: et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum: et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti, et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas.

26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.

Et fornicata es cum filiis Aegypti vicinis tuis magnarum carnium: et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad irritandum me.

27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.

Ecce ego extendam manum meam super te, et auferam iustificationem tuam: et dabo te in animas odientium te filiarum Palaestinarum, quae erubescunt in via tua scelerata.

28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.

Et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum, eo quod necdum fueris expleta: et postquam fornicata es, nec sic es satiata.

29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

Et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in Terra Chanaan cum Chaldaeis: et nec sic satiata es.

30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these [things], the work of an imperious whorish woman;

In quo mundabo cor tuum, ait Dominus Deus; cum facias omnia haec opera mulieris meretricis, et procacis?

31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;

Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viae, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea: nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium,

32 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh strangers instead of her husband!

sed quasi mulier adultera, quae super virum suum inducit alienos.

33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

Omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes: tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis, et dona donabas eis vi intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum.

34 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art 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 saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia effusum est aes 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 thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast loved, with all [them] that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

Ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos, quibus commixta 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 thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee 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 thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee 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 thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.

et adducent super te multitudinem, et lapidabunt te lapidibus, et trucidabunt te gladiis suis.

41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

Et comburent domos tuas igne, 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 thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, 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 thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these [things; ] behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon [thine] head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

Eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adolescentiae tuae, 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 useth proverbs shall use [this] proverb against thee, 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 Thou [art] thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

Filia matris tuae es tu, quae proiecit virum suum, et filios suos: et soror sororum tuarum es tu, quae proiecerunt viros suos, et filios suos: mater vestra Cethaea, et pater vester Amorrhaeus.

46 And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.

Et soror tua maior, Samaria, ipsa et filiae eius, quae habitant ad sinistram tuam: soror autem tua minor te, quae habitat a dextris tuis, Sodoma, et filiae eius.

47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy 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, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua ipsa, et filiae eius, sicut fecisti tu, et filiae tuae.

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness 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 haec fuit iniquitas Sodomae sororis tuae, 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 elevatae sunt, et fecerunt abominationes coram me: et abstuli eas sicut vidisti.

51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast 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 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

Ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam, quae vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis, sceleratius agens ab eis: iustificatae sunt enim a te: ergo et tu confundere, et porta ignominiam tuam, quae 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 thy captives in the midst of them:

Et convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis, et conversione Samariae, et filiarum eius: et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum,

54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

ut portes ignominiam tuam, et confundaris in omnibus, quae fecisti consolans eas.

55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

Et soror tua Sodoma, et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et Samaria, et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et tu, et filiae tuae revertemini ad antiquitatem vestram.

56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,

Non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo, in die superbiae tuae,

57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of [thy] reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all [that are] round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.

antequam revelaretur malitia tua: sicut hoc tempore in opprobrium filiarum Syriae, et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palaesthinarum, quae ambiunt te per gyrum.

58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.

scelus tuum, et ignominiam tuam tu portasti, ait Dominus Deus.

59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et faciam tibi sicut despexisti iuramentum, ut irritum faceres pactum:

60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adolescentiae tuae: et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum.

61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy 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 thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD:

Et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum: et scies quia ego Dominus,

63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

ut recorderis, et confundaris, et non sit tibi ultra aperire os prae confusione tua, cum placatus tibi fuero in omnibus, quae fecisti, ait Dominus Deus.
