Ezekiel 21
1 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
Fili hominis pone faciem tuam ad Ierusalem, et stilla ad sanctuaria, et propheta contra humum Israel:
3 and tell the land of Israel, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
Et dices terrae Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, et eiiciam gladium meum de vagina sua, et occidam in te iustum, et impium.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the Negev to the north:
Pro eo autem quod occidi in te iustum, et impium, idcirco egredietur gladius meus de vagina sua ad omnem carnem ab Austro usque ad Aquilonem:
5 and all flesh shall know that I, YHWH, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more."'
Ut sciat omnis caro quia ego Dominus eduxi gladium meum de vagina sua irrevocabilem.
6 "Sigh therefore, you son of man; with the breaking of your thighs and with bitterness you will sigh before their eyes.
Et tu fili hominis ingemisce in contritione lumborum, et in amaritudinibus ingemisce coram eis.
7 It shall be, when they tell you, 'Why do you sigh?' that you shall say, 'Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: look, it comes, and it shall be done, says YHWH.'"
Cumque dixerint ad te: Quare tu gemis? dices: Pro auditu: quia venit, et tabescet omne cor, et dissolventur universae manus, et infirmabitur omnis spiritus, et per cuncta genua fluent aquae: ecce venit, et fiet, ait Dominus Deus.
8 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
9 "Son of man, prophesy, and say, 'Thus says YHWH: Say, "A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;
Fili hominis propheta, et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Loquere: Gladius, gladius exacutus est, et limatus.
10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? The rod of my son, it condemns every tree.
Ut caedat victimas, exacutus est: ut splendeat, limatus est: qui moves sceptrum filii mei, succidisti omne lignum.
11 It is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the killer."'
Et dedi eum ad levigandum ut teneatur manu: iste exacutus est gladius, et iste limatus est ut sit in manu interficientis.
12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; strike therefore on your thigh.
Clama, et ulula fili hominis, quia hic factus est in populo meo, hic in cunctis ducibus Israel, qui fugerant: gladio traditi sunt cum populo meo, idcirco plaude super foemur,
13 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that condemns shall be no more?" says YHWH.
quia probatus est: et hoc, cum sceptrum subverterit, et non erit, dicit Dominus Deus.
14 "You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their rooms.
Tu ergo fili hominis propheta, et percute manu ad manum, et duplicetur gladius, ac triplicetur gladius interfectorum: hic est gladius occisionis magnae, qui obstupescere eos facit,
15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: Ah. It is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
et corde tabescere, et multiplicat ruinas. In omnibus portis eorum dedi conturbationem gladii acuti, et limati ad fulgendum, amicti ad caedem.
16 'Gather yourselves together, go to the right, set yourselves in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.'
Exacuere, vade ad dexteram, sive ad sinistram, quocumque faciei tuae est appetitus.
17 I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, YHWH, have spoken it."
Quin et ego plaudam manu ad manum, et implebo indignationem meam ego Dominus locutus sum.
18 The word of YHWH came to me again, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
19 "Also, you son of man, appoint two ways that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they both shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
Et tu fili hominis pone tibi duas vias, ut veniat gladius regis Babylonis: de terra una egredientur ambae: et manu capiet coniecturam, in capite viae civitatis coniiciet.
20 You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem, the fortified.
Viam pones ut veniat gladius ad Rabbath filiorum Ammon, et ad Iudam in Ierusalem munitissimam.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows back and forth, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
Stetit enim rex Babylonis in bivio, in capite duarum viarum, divinationem quaerens, commiscens sagittas: interrogavit idola, exta consuluit.
22 In his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
Ad dexteram eius facta est divinatio super Ierusalem ut ponat arietes, ut aperiat os in caede, ut elevet vocem in ululatu, ut ponat arietes contra portas, ut comportet aggerem, ut aedificet munitiones.
23 It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
Eritque quasi consulens frustra oraculum in oculis eorum, et sabbatorum otium imitans: ipse autem recordabitur iniquitatis ad capiendum.
24 "Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you shall be taken with the hand.
Idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod recordati estis iniquitatis vestrae, et revelastis praevaricationes vestras, et apparuerunt peccata vestra in omnibus cogitationibus vestris: pro eo, inquam, quod recordati estis, manu capiemini.
25 "'You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
Tu autem profane, impie dux Israel, cuius venit dies in tempore iniquitatis praefinita:
26 thus says YHWH: "Remove the turban, and take off the crown; this shall be no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high."
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Aufer cidarim, tolle coronam: nonne haec est, quae humilem sublevavit, et sublimem humiliavit?
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.'
Iniquitatem, iniquitatem, iniquitatem ponam eam: et hoc non factum est donec veniret cuius est iudicium, et tradam ei.
28 "You, son of man, prophesy, and say, 'Thus says YHWH concerning the people of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say, "A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
Et tu fili hominis propheta, et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus ad filios Ammon, et ad opprobrium eorum, et dices: Mucro, mucro evagina te ad occidendum, lima te ut interficias, et fulgeas,
29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
cum tibi viderentur vana, et divinarentur mendacia: ut dareris super colla vulneratorum impiorum, quorum venit dies in tempore iniquitatis praefinita.
30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, will I judge you.
Revertere ad vaginam tuam in loco, in quo creatus es, in terra nativitatis tuae iudicabo te,
31 I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
et effundam super te indignationem meam: in igne furoris mei sufflabo in te, daboque te in manus hominum insipientium, et fabricantium interitum.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be remembered no more: for I, YHWH, have spoken it."'"
Igni eris cibus, sanguis tuus erit in medio terrae, oblivioni traderis: quia ego Dominus locutus sum.
