Ezekiel 22
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 “And you, son of man, do you judge? Do you judge the city of blood? Then you have caused it to know all its abominations,
Et tu fili hominis nonne iudicas, nonne iudicas civitatem sanguinum?
3 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it has made idols on it for defilement.
et ostendes ei omnes abominationes suas, et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Civitas effundens sanguinem in medio sui ut veniat tempus eius: et quae fecit idola contra semetipsam ut pollueretur.
4 You have been guilty by your blood that you have shed, And you have been defiled by your idols that you have made, And you cause your days to draw near, And have come to your years, Therefore I have given you [for] a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.
In sanguine tuo, qui a te effusus est, deliquisti: et in idolis tuis, quae fecisti, polluta es: et appropinquare fecisti dies tuos, et adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum: propterea dedi te opprobrium Gentibus, et irrisionem universis terris.
5 The near and the far-off from you scoff at you, O defiled of name—abounding in trouble.
Quae iuxta sunt, et quae procul a te, triumphabunt de te: sordida, nobilis, grandis interitu.
6 Behold, princes of Israel—each according to his arm Have been in you to shed blood.
Ecce principes Israel singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem.
7 They have made light of father and mother in you, They dealt oppressively to a sojourner in your midst, They oppressed fatherless and widow in you.
Patrem, et matrem contumeliis affecerunt in te, advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui, pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te:
8 You have despised My holy things, And you have defiled My Sabbaths.
Sanctuaria mea sprevistis, et sabbata mea polluistis.
9 Men of slander have been in you to shed blood, And they have eaten on the mountains in you, They have done wickedness in your midst.
Viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem, et super montes comederunt in te, scelus operati sunt in medio tui.
10 One has uncovered the nakedness of a father in you, They humbled the menstruous woman in you.
Verecundiora patris discooperuerunt in te, immunditiam menstruatae humiliaverunt in te.
11 And each has done abomination with the wife of his neighbor, And each has defiled his daughter-in-law through wickedness, And each has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.
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 They have taken a bribe to shed blood in you, You have taken usury and increase, And cut off your neighbor by oppression, And you have forgotten Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH!
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 hand, Because of your dishonest gain that you have gained, And for your blood that has been in your midst.
Ecce complosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam, quam fecisti, et super sanguinem, qui effusus est in medio tui.
14 Does your heart stand—are your hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with you? I, YHWH, have spoken and have done [it].
Numquid sustinebit cor tuum, aut praevalebunt manus tuae in diebus, quos ego faciam tibi? ego Dominus locutus sum, et faciam.
15 And I have scattered you among nations, And have spread you out among lands, And consumed your uncleanness out of you.
Et dispergam te in nationes, et ventilabo te in terras, et deficere faciam immunditiam tuam a te.
16 And you have been defiled in yourself Before the eyes of nations, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Et possidebo te in conspectu Gentium: et scies quia ego Dominus.
17 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has been for dross to Me, All of them [are] bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace—silver has been dross,
Fili hominis, versa est mihi domus Israel in scoriam: omnes isti aes, et stannum, et ferrum, et plumbum in medio fornacis: scoria argenti facti sunt.
19 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have all become dross, Therefore, behold, I am gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem,
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam, propterea ecce ego congregabo vos in medio Ierusalem,
20 A gathering of silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin, Into the midst of a furnace—to blow fire on it, to melt it, So I gather in My anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
congregatione argenti, et aeris, 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 And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And you have been melted in its midst.
Et congregabo vos, et succendam vos in igne furoris mei, et conflabimini in medio eius.
22 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So you are melted in its midst, And you have known that I, YHWH, have poured out My fury on 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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
24 “Son of man, say to it, You [are] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.
Fili hominis, dic ei: Tu es terra immunda, et non compluta in die furoris.
25 A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, As a roaring lion tearing prey; They have devoured the soul, They have taken wealth and glory, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.
Coniuratio prophetarum in medio eius, sicut leo rugiens, rapiensque praedam, animas devoraverunt, opes et pretium acceperunt, viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius.
26 Its priests have wronged My law, And they defile My holy things, They have not made separation between holy and common, And they have not made known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, And they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, And I am pierced in their midst.
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 Its princes [are] as wolves in its midst, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.
Principes eius in medio illius, quasi lupi rapientes praedam ad effundendum sanguinem, et ad perdendas animas, et avare ad sectanda lucra.
28 And its prophets have coated with chalk for them, Seeing a vain thing, and divining a lie for them, Saying, Thus said Lord YHWH, And YHWH has not spoken.
Prophetae autem eius liniebant eos absque temperamento, videntes vana, et divinantes eis mendacium, dicentes: Haec dicit Dominus Deus, cum Dominus non sit locutus.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder away violently, And have oppressed humble and needy, And oppressed the sojourner without judgment.
Populi terrae calumniabantur calumniam, et rapiebant violenter: egenum, et pauperem affligebant, et advenam opprimebant calumnia absque iudicio.
30 And I seek from them a man making a wall, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land—not to destroy it, And I have found none.
Et quaesivi de eis virum, qui interponeret sepem, et staret oppositus contra me pro terra, ne dissiparem eam: et non inveni.
31 And I pour out My indignation on them, I have consumed them by [the] fire of My wrath, I have put their way on their own head, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
Et effudi super eos indignationem meam, in igne irae meae consumpsi eos: viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi, ait Dominus Deus.
