Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, If there be a land over which I bring the sword, and the people of the land take a man from among themselves, and appoint him unto themselves for a watchman;
Fili hominis loquere ad filios populi tui, et dices ad eos: Terra cum induxero super eam gladium, et tulerit populus terrae virum unum de novissimis suis, et constituerit eum super se speculatorem:
3 And if he see the sword coming over the land, and blow the cornet, and warn the people;
et ille viderit gladium venientem super terram, et cecinerit buccina, et annunciaverit populo:
4 And whosoever heareth the sound of the cornet, and taketh no warning; and the sword cometh, and taketh him away: his blood shall be upon his own head.
Audiens autem, quisquis ille est, sonitum buccinae, et non se observaverit, veneritque gladius, et tulerit eum: sanguis ipsius super caput eius erit.
5 The sound of the cornet hath he heard, and he hath taken no warning; his blood shall be upon him. But had he taken warning he would have delivered his soul.
Sonum buccinae audivit, et non se observavit, sanguis eius in ipso erit: si autem se custodierit, animam suam salvabit.
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the cornet, so that the people be not warned, and the sword cometh, and taketh away from among them some person: this one is taken away for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from the watchman's hand.
Quod si speculator viderit gladium venientem, et non insonuerit buccina: et populus se non custodierit, veneritque gladius, et tulerit de eis animam: ille quidem in iniquitate sua captus est, sanguinem autem eius de manu speculatoris requiram.
7 But as for thee, O son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: so that when thou hearest a word from my mouth, thou shalt warn them from me.
Et tu fili hominis, speculatorem dedi te domui Israel: audiens ergo ex ore meo sermonem, annunciabis eis ex me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked one, thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way: that wicked one shall die for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from thy hand.
Si me dicente ad impium: Impie, morte morieris: non fueris locutus ut se custodiat impius a via sua: ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur, sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram.
9 Nevertheless, if thou hast indeed warned the wicked of his way to turn away from it, and he do not turn from his way: he shall certainly die for his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Si autem annunciante te ad impium ut a viis suis convertatur, non fuerit conversus a via sua: ipse in iniquitate sua morietur: porro tu animam tuam liberasti.
10 But thou, O son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, Thus do ye speak, saying, Truly our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and through them do we pine away: how then shall we live?
Tu ergo fili hominis dic ad domum Israel: Sic locuti estis, dicentes: Iniquitates nostrae, et peccata nostra super nos sunt, et in ipsis nos tabescimus: quomodo ergo vivere poterimus?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but in the return of the wicked from his way that he may live: return ye, return ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Dic ad eos: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: nolo mortem impii, sed ut convertatur impius a via sua, et vivat. Convertimini a viis vestris pessimis: et quare moriemini domus Israel?
12 But thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him on the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not stumble through it on the day that he returneth from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live through the other on the day that he sinneth.
Tu itaque fili hominis dic ad filios populi tui: Iustitia iusti non liberabit eum in quacumque die peccaverit: et impietas impii non nocebit ei, in quacumque die conversus fuerit ab impietate sua: et iustus non poterit vivere in iustitia sua, in quacumque die peccaverit.
13 When I say of the righteous, that he shall surely live, and he trusteth to his own righteousness, and committeth what is wrong: all his righteous deeds shall not be remembered, and for his wrong that he hath committed, —through this shall he die.
Etiam si dixero iusto quod vita vivat, et confisus in iustitia sua fecerit iniquitatem: omnes iustitiae eius oblivioni tradentur, et in iniquitate sua, quam operatus est, in ipsa morietur.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and he turneth from his sin, and executeth justice and righteousness;
Si autem dixero impio: Morte morieris: et egerit poenitentiam a peccato suo, feceritque iudicium et iustitiam,
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, make restitution for what he hath robbed, walk in the statutes of life, so as not to do any wrong: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
et pignus restituerit ille impius, rapinamque reddiderit, in mandatis vitae ambulaverit, nec fecerit quidquam iniustum: vita vivet, et non morietur.
16 All his sins that he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: justice and righteousness hath he executed, he shall surely live.
Omnia peccata eius, quae peccavit, non imputabuntur ei: iudicium, et iustitiam fecit, vita vivet.
17 Yet say the children of thy people, The way of the Lord is not equitable: while, as to them, their way is not equitable.
Et dixerunt filii populi tui: Non est aequi ponderis via Domini, et ipsorum via iniusta est.
18 When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and doth what is wrong, he shall even die therefore.
Cum enim recesserit iustus a iustitia sua, feceritque iniquitates, morietur in eis.
19 And when the wicked returneth from his wickedness, and executeth justice and righteousness, he shall surely live therefore.
Et cum recesserit impius ab impietate sua, feceritque iudicium, et iustitiam, vivet in eis.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. Every one after his own ways will I judge you, O house of Israel.
Et dicitis: Non est recta via Domini. Unumquemque iuxta vias suas iudicabo de vobis, domus Israel.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month after our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem, saying, The city hath been smitten.
Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in decimo mense, in quinta mensis transmigrationis nostrae, venit ad me qui fugerat de Ierusalem, dicens: Vastata est civitas.
22 Now the inspiration of the Lord was come upon me in the evening, before the coming of the one who had escaped; and he had opened my mouth, before he was come to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened and I was not kept dumb any more.
Manus autem Domini facta fuerat ad me vespere, antequam veniret qui fugerat: aperuitque os meum donec veniret ad me mane, et aperto ore meo non silui amplius.
23 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
24 Son of man, they that dwell in these ruins in the land of Israel say as followeth, But one man was Abraham, and he obtained the land as an inheritance; and as we are many, the land must [surely] be given to us for an inheritance.
Fili hominis, qui habitant in ruinosis his super humum Israel, loquentes aiunt: Unus erat Abraham, et hereditate possedit terram: nos autem multi sumus, nobis data est terra in possessionem.
25 Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, By the blood do ye eat, and your eyes do you lift up toward your idols, and blood do ye shed: and ye expect to possess the land?
Idcirco dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Qui in sanguine comeditis, et oculos vestros levatis ad immunditias vestras, et sanguinem funditis: numquid terram hereditate possidebitis?
26 Ye depend upon your sword, ye commit abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife: and ye expect to possess the land?
Stetistis in gladiis vestris, fecistis abominationes, et unusquisque uxorem proximi sui polluit: et terram hereditate possidebitis?
27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As I live, surely those that are in the ruined places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts that they may devour him, and those that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die through the pestilence.
Haec dices ad eos: Sic dicit Dominus Deus: Vivo ego, quia qui in ruinosis habitant, gladio cadent: et qui in agro est, bestiis tradetur ad devorandum: qui autem in praesidiis, et speluncis sunt, peste morientur.
28 And I will render the land desolate and wasted, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, with none to pass through them.
Et dabo terram in solitudinem, et in desertum, et deficiet superba fortitudo eius: et desolabuntur montes Israel, eo quod nullus sit qui per eos transeat.
29 And they shall experience that I am the Lord, when I render the land desolate and wasted, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero terram eorum desolatam, et desertam propter universas abominationes suas, quas operati sunt.
30 And thou, son of man, [there are] the children of thy people, who are talking about thee by the walls and in the entrances of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Do come, and hear what the word is which cometh forth from the Lord.
Et tu fili hominis: filii populi tui, qui loquuntur de te iuxta muros, et in ostiis domorum, et dicunt unus ad alterum, vir ad proximum suum loquentes: Venite, et audiamus quis sit sermo egrediens a Domino.
31 And then they come unto thee as the people come, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but do not execute them; for as merry songs they carry them in their mouth, while their heart goeth after their unlawful gains.
Et veniunt ad te, quasi si ingrediatur populus, et sedent coram te populus meus: et audiunt sermones tuos, et non faciunt eos: quia in canticum oris sui vertunt illos, et avaritiam suam sequitur cor eorum.
32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a merry song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well: and [thus] they hear thy words, but execute them not.
Et es eis quasi carmen musicum, quod suavi, dulcique sono canitur: et audiunt verba tua, et non faciunt ea.
33 But when it cometh to pass, [lo, it will come, ] then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
Et cum venerit quod praedictum est (ecce enim venit) tunc scient quod prophetes fuerit inter eos.
