Ezekiel 3
1 And He says to me, “Son of man, eat that which you find, eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis quodcumque inveneris comede: comede volumen istud, et vadens loquere ad filios Israel.
2 And I open my mouth, and He causes me to eat this scroll.
Et aperui os meum, et cibavit me volumine illo:
3 And He says to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I am giving to you”; and I eat it, and it is as honey for sweetness in my mouth.
et dixit ad me: Fili hominis venter tuus comedet, et viscera tua complebuntur volumine isto, quod ego do tibi. Et comedi illud: et factum est in ore meo sicut mel dulce.
4 And He says to me, “Son of man, go forth, go to the house of Israel, and you have spoken to them with My words.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis vade ad domum Israel, et loqueris verba mea ad eos.
5 For you [are] not sent to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue—to the house of Israel;
Non enim ad populum profundi sermonis, et ignotæ linguæ tu mitteris ad domum Israel:
6 not to many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words you do not understand. If I had not sent you to them—they listen to you,
neque ad populos multos profundi sermonis, et ignotæ linguæ, quorum non possis audire sermones: et si ad illos mittereris, ipsi audirent te.
7 but the house of Israel are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.
Domus autem Israel nolunt audire te: quia nolunt audire me. omnis quippe domus Israel attrita fronte est, et duro corde.
8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their face, and your forehead strong against their forehead.
Ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebus eorum, et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum.
9 As an adamant, harder than a rock, I have made your forehead; do not fear them, nor are you frightened before them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
Ut adamantem, et ut silicem dedi faciem tuam: ne timeas eos, neque metuas a facie eorum: quia domus exasperans est.
10 And He says to me, “Son of man, all My words that I speak to you, receive with your heart, and hear with your ears;
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis omnes sermones meos, quos ego loquor ad te, assume in corde tuo, et auribus tuis audi:
11 and go forth, go to the expulsion, to the sons of your people, and you have spoken to them, and have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; whether they hear, or whether they refrain.”
Et vade ingredere ad transmigrationem, ad filios populi tui, et loqueris ad eos, et dices eis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: si forte audiant, et quiescant.
12 And a spirit lifts me up, and I hear a noise behind me, a great rushing—“Blessed [is] the glory of YHWH from His place!”
Et assumpsit me spiritus, et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnæ: Benedicta gloria Domini de loco suo,
13 Even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels alongside them, even a noise of a great rushing.
et vocem alarum animalium percutientium alteram ad alteram, et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia, et vocem commotionis magnæ.
14 And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and takes me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of YHWH [is] strong on me.
Spiritus quoque levavit me, et assumpsit me: et abii amarus in indignatione spiritus mei: manus enim Domini erat mecum, confortans me.
15 And I come to the expulsion, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell [for] seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
Et veni ad transmigrationem, ad acervum novarum frugum, ad eos, qui habitabant iuxta flumen Chobar, et sedi ubi illi sedebant: et mansi ibi septem diebus mœrens in medio eorum.
16 And it comes to pass, at the end of seven days,
Cum autem pertransissent septem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
17 that there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man, I have given you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you have heard a word from My mouth, and have warned them from Me.
Fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israel: et audies de ore meo verbum, et annunciabis eis ex me.
18 In My saying to the wicked: You surely die; and you have not warned him, nor have spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he lives; he—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, and I require his blood from your hand.
Si dicente me ad impium: Morte morieris: non annunciaveris ei, neque locutus fueris ut avertatur a via sua impia, et vivat: ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur, sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram.
19 And you, because you have warned the wicked, and he has not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he dies in his iniquity, and you have delivered your soul.
Si autem tu annunciaveris impio, et ille non fuerit conversus ab impietate sua, et a via sua impia: ipse quidem in iniquitate sua morietur, tu autem animam tuam liberasti.
20 And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dies; because you have not warned him, he dies in his sin, and his righteousness that he has done is not remembered, and I require his blood from your hand.
Sed et si conversus iustus a iustitia sua fuerit, et fecerit iniquitatem: ponam offendiculum coram eo, ipse morietur, quia non annunciasti ei: in peccato suo morietur, et non erunt in memoria iustitiæ eius, quas fecit: sanguinem vero eius de manu tua requiram.
21 And you, because you have warned him—the righteous—that the righteous does not sin, and he has not sinned, he surely lives, because he has been warned; and you have delivered your soul.”
Si autem tu annunciaveris iusto ut non peccet iustus, et ille non peccaverit: vivens vivet, quia annunciasti ei, et tu animam tuam liberasti.
22 And there is a hand of YHWH on me there, and He says to me, “Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I speak with you.”
Et facta est super me manus Domini, et dixit ad me: Surgens egredere in campum, et ibi loquar tecum.
23 And I rise and go forth to the valley, and behold, there the glory of YHWH is standing as the glory that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
Et surgens egressus sum in campum: et ecce ibi gloria Domini stabat quasi gloria, quam vidi iuxta fluvium Chobar: et cecidi in faciem meam.
24 And [the] Spirit comes into me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and He speaks with me, and says to me, “Go in, be shut up in the midst of your house.
Et ingressus est in me spiritus, et statuit me super pedes meos: et locutus est mihi, et dixit ad me: Ingredere, et includere in medio domus tuæ.
25 And you, son of man, behold, they have put thick bands on you, and have bound you with them, and you do not go forth in their midst;
Et tu fili hominis, ecce data sunt super te vincula, et ligabunt te in eis: et non egredieris de medio eorum.
26 and I cause your tongue to cleave to your palate, and you have been mute, and are not for a reprover to them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
Et linguam tuam adhærere faciam palato tuo, et eris mutus, nec quasi vir obiurgans: quia domus exasperans est.
27 And in My speaking with you, I open your mouth, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; the hearer hears, and the refrainer refrains; for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
Cum autem locutus fuero tibi, aperiam os tuum, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Qui audit, audiat: et qui quiescit, quiescat: quia domus exasperans est.
