Ezekiel 36
1 But thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord.
Tu autem fili hominis propheta super montes Israel, et dices: Montes Israel, audite verbum Domini:
2 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the enemy hath said regarding you, Aha, even the ancient high-places are become ours as a possession:
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis: Euge, altitudines sempiternæ in hereditatem datæ sunt nobis:
3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because, even because men have made you desolate, and sought to swallow you up on every side, that ye might become a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up as a talk for tongues, and an evil report of the people:
propterea vaticinare, et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, et facti in hereditatem reliquis gentibus, et ascendistis super labium linguæ, et opprobrium populi:
4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins, and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about:
propterea montes Israel audite verbum Domini Dei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus, et collibus, torrentibus, vallibusque et desertis, parietinis, et urbibus derelictis, quæ depopulatæ sunt, et subsannatæ a reliquis gentibus per circuitum.
5 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Idumea, that have appropriated my land unto themselves as a possession with the joy of all their heart, with derision in their soul, in order to drive it out that it may be for a prey.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis Gentibus, et de Idumæa universa, quæ dederunt terram meam sibi in hereditatem cum gaudio, et toto corde, et ex animo: et eiecerunt eam ut vastarent:
6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, In my zealousness and in my fury have I spoken, because ye have borne the reproach of the nations:
idcirco vaticinare super humum Israel, et dices montibus, et collibus, iugis, et vallibus: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego in zelo meo, et in furore meo locutus sum, eo quod confusionem Gentium sustinueritis.
7 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I have indeed lifted up my hand, that the nations who are round about you— these shall bear their shame.
Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ego levavi manum meam ut Gentes, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsæ confusionem suam portent.
8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall send forth your boughs, and your fruit shall ye bear for my people Israel, for they are near at hand to come.
Vos autem montes Israel ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israel: prope enim est ut veniat:
9 For, behold, I will be for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and ye shall be sown;
Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos, et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.
10 And I will multiply upon you men, all the house of Israel— altogether; and the cities shall be inhabited again, and the ruins shall be rebuilt;
Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israel: et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur.
11 And I will multiply upon you men and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your old estates, and will do more good unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Et replebo vos hominibus, et iumentis: et multiplicabuntur, et crescent: et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, bonisque donabo maioribus, quam habuistis ab initio: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
12 Yea, I will cause to walk upon you men, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be unto them as an inheritance, and thou shalt not any more henceforth cast them out.
Et adducam super vos homines populum meum Israel, et hereditate possidebunt te: et eris eis in hereditatem, et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis.
13 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast been one that hath ever cast out thy nations:
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis: Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam:
14 Therefore shalt thou not devour up men any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.
Propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus:
15 And I will not let be heard against thee any more the reproach of the nations, and the disgrace of the people shalt thou not bear any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.
Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem Gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis, et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.
16 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
17 Son of man, the house of Israel, when they dwelt in their own land, defiled it through their way and through their doings: like the uncleanness of a woman in her separation was their way before me.
Fili hominis domus Israel habitaverunt in humo sua, et polluerunt eam in viis suis, et in studiis suis iuxta immunditiam menstruatæ facta est via eorum coram me.
18 And I poured out my fury over them because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and because through their idols they had polluted it;
Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine, quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.
19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings did I judge them.
Et dispersi eos in Gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras: iuxta vias eorum, et adinventiones eorum iudicavi eos.
20 And when they were come unto the nations, whither they were gone, they profaned my holy name; because they said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and out of his land are they gone forth.
Et ingressi sunt ad Gentes, ad quas introierunt, et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, cum diceretur de eis: Populus Domini iste est, et de terra eius egressi sunt.
21 But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they were gone.
Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israel in Gentibus, ad quas ingressi sunt.
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Not for your sake do I this, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye are gone.
Idcirco dices domui Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israel, sed propter nomen sanctum meum, quod polluistis in Gentibus, ad quas intrastis.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your eyes.
Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum, quod pollutum est inter Gentes, quod polluistis in medio earum: ut sciant Gentes quia ego Dominus, ait Dominus exercituum, cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis:
24 And I will take you from among the nations, and I will gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you unto your own land.
Tollam quippe vos de Gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.
25 And I will sprinkle upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean: from all your impurities, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos.
26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of your body, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Et dabo vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri: et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, et dabo vobis cor carneum.
27 And my spirit I will put within you, and I will cause that you shall walk in my statutes, and that my ordinances ye shall keep, and do them.
Et Spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri: et faciam ut in præceptis meis ambuletis, et iudicia mea custodiatis, et operemini.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be unto me for a people, and I truly will be unto you as a God.
Et habitabitis in terra, quam dedi patribus vestris: et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
29 And I will save you from all kinds of your impurities; and I will call unto the corn, and increase it, and I will not lay famine upon you.
Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris: et vocabo frumentum, et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the products of the field: in order that ye may receive no more reproach on account of famine among the nations.
Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in gentibus.
31 Then shall ye remember your ways that they were evil, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves on account of your iniquities and on account of your abominations.
Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum: et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ, et scelera vestra.
32 Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord Eternal, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded because of your ways, O house of Israel.
Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis: confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israel.
33 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day of my cleansing you from all your iniquities, when I cause the cities to be inhabited, and when the ruins are built up,
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die, qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et inhabitari fecero urbes, et instauravero ruinosa,
34 And when the desolate land is tilled, instead that it was a waste before the eyes of every passer by:
et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,
35 Then shall they say, This land, that was desolate, is become like the garden of 'Eden; and the cities that were ruined, and desolate, and broken down, are become fortified, and inhabited.
dicent: Terra illa inculta, facta est ut hortus voluptatis: et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.
36 And the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have built up the broken-down [places], have planted the desolate [land]: I the Lord have spoken this, and have done it.
Et scient Gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta, ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.
37 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Also in this will I yet suffer myself to be entreated of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like flocks [in multitude].
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israel, ut faciam eis: Multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum,
38 As the flocks of the holy things, as the flocks of Jerusalem on her appointed feasts, so shall the ruined cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Ierusalem in sollemnitatibus eius: Sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum: et scient quia ego Dominus.
