Ezekiel 24
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens:
2 “Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day.
Fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Ierusalem hodie.
3 And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it,
Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pone ollam; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.
4 To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones.
Congere frusta eius in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena.
5 To take the choice of the flock, And also to pile the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst.
Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea: efferbuit coctio eius, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius.
6 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum has not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ civitati sanguinum, ollæ, cuius rubigo in ea est, et rubigo eius non exivit de ea: per partes et per partes suas eiice eam, non cecidit super eam sors.
7 For her blood has been in her midst, She has set it on a clear place of a rock, She has not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
Sanguis enim eius in medio eius est, super limpidissimam petram effudit illum: non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere.
8 To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.
Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer: dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur.
9 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ civitati sanguinum, cuius ego grandem faciam pyram.
10 Make the wood abundant, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burned.
Congere ossa, quæ igne succendam: consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent.
11 And cause it to stand empty on its coals, So that its bronze is hot and burning, Its uncleanness has been melted in its midst, Its scum is consumed.
Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat æs eius: et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius, et consumatur rubigo eius:
12 She has wearied herself [with] sorrows, And the abundance of her scum does not go out of her, Her scum [is] in the fire.
multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo eius, neque per ignem.
13 Wickedness [is] in your uncleanness, Because I have cleansed you, And you have not been cleansed, You are not cleansed from your uncleanness again, Until I have caused My fury to rest on you.
Immunditia tua execrabilis: quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis: sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.
14 I, YHWH, have spoken, It has come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I regret, According to your ways, and according to your acts, They have judged you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Ego Dominus locutus sum: Veniet, et faciam: non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor: iuxta vias tuas, et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicabo te, dicit Dominus.
15 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
16 “Son of man, behold, I am taking the desire of your eyes from you by a stroke, and you do not mourn, nor weep, nor let your tear come.
Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga: et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrymæ tuæ.
17 Cease to groan [and] make no mourning [for] the dead, bind your headdress on yourself, and put your shoes on your feet, and you do not cover over the upper lip, and you do not eat [the] bread of men.”
Ingemisce tacens, mortuorum luctum non facies: corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis, nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.
18 And I speak to the people in the morning, and my wife dies in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere: fecique mane sicut præceperat mihi.
19 And the people say to me, “Do you not declare to us what these [are] to us, that you are doing?”
Et dixit ad me populus: Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent, quæ tu facis?
20 And I say to them, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
Et dixi ad eos: Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens:
21 Say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am defiling My sanctuary, The excellence of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom you have left, fall by sword.
Loquere domui Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra: filii vestri, et filiæ vestræ, quas reliquistis, gladio cadent.
22 And you have done as I have done, You have not covered over the upper lip, And you do not eat [the] bread of men.
Et facietis sicut feci: Ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis.
23 And your headdresses [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, You do not mourn nor do you weep, And you have wasted away for your iniquities, And you have howled to one another.
Coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus: non plangetis neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum.
24 And Ezekiel has been for a type to you; according to all that he has done you do. In its coming in—you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum: iuxta omnia, quæ fecit, facietis cum venerit istud: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
25 “And you, son of man, is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, the joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, and the song of their soul—their sons and their daughters?
Et tu fili hominis ecce in die, qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animæ eorum, filios, et filias eorum:
26 In that day the escaped one comes to you to cause the ears to hear.
In die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te, ut annunciet tibi:
27 In that day your mouth is opened with the escaped and you speak, and are not silent anymore, and you have been for a type to them, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
In die, inquam, illa aperietur os tuum cum eo, qui fugit: et loqueris, et non silebis ultra: erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
