< 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 Israhel et dices montes Israhel 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:
haec dicit Dominus Deus eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis euge altitudines sempiternae in hereditatem datae 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 haec dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod desolati estis et conculcati per circuitum et facti in hereditatem reliquis gentibus et ascendistis super labium linguae et obprobrium 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 Israhel audite verbum Domini Dei haec dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus torrentibus vallibusque et desertis parietinis et urbibus derelictis quae depopulatae sunt et subsannatae 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 haec dicit Dominus Deus quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis gentibus et de Idumea universa qui dederunt terram meam sibi in hereditatem cum gaudio et toto corde 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 Israhel et dices montibus et collibus iugis et vallibus haec 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 haec dicit Dominus Deus ego levavi manum meam ut gentes quae in circuitu vestro sunt ipsae 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 Israhel ramos vestros germinetis et fructum vestrum adferatis populo meo Israhel prope est enim 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 Israhel 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 habitari 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 Israhel 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:
haec 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 obprobrium 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 Israhel habitaverunt in humo sua et polluerunt eam in viis suis et in studiis suis iuxta inmunditiam menstruatae 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 terris iuxta vias eorum et adinventiones 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 meo sancto quod polluerat domus Israhel 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 Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus non propter vos ego faciam domus Israhel 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 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 praeceptis 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 inponam in 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 obprobrium 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 vestrae 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 Israhel
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,
haec dicit Dominus Deus in die qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris et habitari 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 quae 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 desertae et destitutae atque suffossae munitae 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 quaecumque derelictae fuerint in circuitu vestro quia ego Dominus aedificavi dissipata plantavique inculta ego Dominus locutus sum 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].
haec dicit Dominus Deus adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israhel 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 Hierusalem in sollemnitatibus eius sic erunt civitates desertae plenaeque gregibus hominum et scient quia ego Dominus
