< Ezekiel 24 >
1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens:
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
Fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Ierusalem hodie.
3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it:
Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pone ollam; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, [even] every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones.
Congere frusta eius in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, [and] make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea: efferbuit coctio eius, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius.
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, ollae, cuius rubigo in ea est, et rubigo eius non exivit de ea: per partes et per partes suas eiice eam, non cecidit super eam sors.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
Sanguis enim eius in medio eius est, super limpidissimam petram effudit illum: non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere.
8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer: dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, cuius ego grandem faciam pyram.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Congere ossa, quae igne succendam: consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and [that] the filthiness of it may be molten in it, [that] the scum of it may be consumed.
Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat aes eius: et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius, et consumatur rubigo eius:
12 She hath wearied [herself] with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire.
multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo eius, neque per ignem.
13 In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
Immunditia tua execrabilis: quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis: sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.
14 I the LORD have spoken [it: ] it shall come to pass, and I will do [it; ] I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Ego Dominus locutus sum: Veniet, et faciam: non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor: iuxta vias tuas, et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicabo te, dicit Dominus.
15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga: et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrymae tuae.
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not [thy] lips, and eat not the bread of men.
Ingemisce tacens, mortuorum luctum non facies: corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis, nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.
18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere: fecique mane sicut praeceperat mihi.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these [things are] to us, that thou doest [so]?
Et dixit ad me populus: Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent, quae tu facis?
20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et dixi ad eos: Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens:
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
Loquere domui Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra: et filii vestri, filiae vestrae, quas reliquistis, gladio cadent.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your] lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Et facietis sicut feci: Ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis.
23 And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
Coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus: non plangetis neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum.
24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum: iuxta omnia, quae fecit, facietis cum venerit istud: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
25 Also, thou son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
Et tu fili hominis ecce in die, qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animae eorum, filios, et filias eorum:
26 [That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears?
In die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te, ut annunciet tibi:
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
In die, inquam, illa aperietur os tuum cum eo, qui fugit: et loqueris, et non silebis ultra: erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
