Ezekiel 22
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 And thou, son of man, wilt thou take to task, wilt thou take to task the city of blood? and wilt thou make her know all her abominations?
Et tu fili hominis nonne iudicas, nonne iudicas civitatem sanguinum?
3 Then say thou, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, O city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time [of sorrow] may come, and that hath made idols for herself to become unclean:
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 Through thy blood which thou hast shed, are thou become guilty; and through thy idols which thou hast made art thou become unclean; and thou hast caused thy days [of destruction] to draw near, and thou art come even unto thy years; therefore do I make thee a disgrace unto the nations, and a mocking to all the 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 who are near, and those who are far from thee, shall mock thee, O thou unclean in name, and great in confusion!
Quæ iuxta sunt, et quæ procul a te, triumphabunt de te: sordida, nobilis, grandis interitu.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel were each [ready] with his arm within thee, in order to shed blood.
Ecce principes Israel singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem.
7 Father and mother they esteemed lightly within thee, toward the stranger they acted with extortion in the midst of thee, the fatherless and the widow they oppressed within thee.
Patrem, et matrem contumeliis affecerunt in te, advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui, pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te:
8 My holy things thou didst despise, and my sabbaths thou didst profane.
Sanctuaria mea sprevisti, et Sabbata mea polluisti.
9 Tale-bearers [also] were within thee, in order to shed blood; and upon the mountains did they eat within thee; incest did they commit in the midst of thee.
Viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem, et super montes comederunt in te, scelus operati sunt in medio tui.
10 Their father's nakedness they uncovered within thee; her that was unclean in her separation did they violate within thee.
Verecundiora patris discooperuerunt in te, immunditiam menstruatæ humiliaverunt in te.
11 And one with his neighbor's wife did commit abomination; and another did defile his daughter-in-law with incest; and another did violate his sister, the daughter of his father, within thee.
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 Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal.
Munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem: usuram, et superabundantiam accepisti, et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris: meique oblita es, ait Dominus Deus.
13 And behold, I have struck my hands together at thy wrongful gain which thou hast acquired, and at thy blood-guilt which hath been in the midst of thee.
Ecce complosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam, quam fecisti, et super sanguinem, qui effusus est in medio tui.
14 Will thy courage endure, or will thy hands remain strong, on the days that I will deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken, 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 thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and I will entirely remove thy uncleanness out of thee.
Et dispergam te in nationes, et ventilabo te in terras, et deficere faciam immunditiam tuam a te.
16 And thou shalt be degraded through thyself before the eyes of nations, and thou shalt 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 are become to me dross: they all are copper, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; the dross of silver are they become.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye are all become dross, therefore, behold, 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 silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it: so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury and I will lay you down 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 assemble you in a heap, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
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 ye be melted in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord who have poured out my fury over 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, Thou art a land that is not cleansed; [and] which is not rained upon on the day of indignation.
Fili hominis, dic ei: Tu es terra immunda, et non compluta in die furoris.
25 The banded troop of her prophets in the midst of her is like a roaring lion that teareth in pieces the prey: souls do they devour; wealth and precious things do they take away; the number of her widows do they increase in the midst of her.
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 violate my law, and profane my holy things: between the holy and profane do they make no distinction, and the difference between the unclean and the clean do they not make known, and from [the violation of] my sabbaths do they turn away their eyes, so that 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 her midst are like wolves that tear in pieces the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, in order to obtain selfish 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 plastered for them with unadhesive mortar, foreseeing falsehood, and divining unto them lies, saying, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal; when the Lord had 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 are guilty of extortion, and practise robbery, and the poor and the needy they defraud: and they extort from the stranger with injustice.
Populi terræ calumniabantur calumniam, et rapiebant violenter: egenum, et pauperem affligebant, et advenam opprimebant calumnia absque iudicio.
30 And I seek now among them for a man, that could erect a fence, and stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it; but I find none.
Et quæsivi de eis virum, qui interponeret sepem, et staret oppositus contra me pro terra, ne dissiparem eam: et non inveni.
31 And I therefore pour out over them my indignation; with the fire of my wrath do I make an end of them: their own way do I bring upon their head, saith the Lord Eternal.
Et effudi super eos indignationem meam, in igne iræ meæ consumpsi eos: viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi, ait Dominus Deus.
