Ezekiel 11
1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward, and lo! in the opening of the gate, twenty-five men, —and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah princes of the people.
Et elevavit me Spiritus, et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem, quæ respicit ad solis ortum: et ecce in introitu portæ viginti quinque viri: et vidi in medio eorum Iezoniam filium Azur, et Pheltiam filium Banaiæ, principes populi.
2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, These, are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are counselling wicked counsel in this city;
Dixitque ad me: Fili hominis, hi sunt viri, qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,
3 who are saying, Not near! let us build houses, — It, is the caldron, and, we, are the flesh!
dicentes: Nonne dudum ædificatæ sunt domus? Hæc est lebes, nos autem carnes.
4 Therefore, prophesy against them, —prophesy. Son of man.
Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare fili hominis.
5 Then fell upon me the Spirit of Yahweh, and he said unto me Say—Thus, saith Yahweh, Thus have ye said O house of Israel, Yea, the things that come up on your spirit, I, know every one.
Et irruit in me Spiritus Domini, et dixit ad me: Loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus: Sic locuti estis domus Israel, et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi.
6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, - And have filled her streets with slain.
Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias eius interfectis.
7 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Your slain. whom ye have laid in her midst, They are the flesh, and She is the caldron, —when ye are taken out of her midst.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Interfecti vestri, quos posuistis in medio eius, hi sunt carnes, et hæc est lebes: et educam vos de medio eius.
8 A sword, have ye feared, — And a sword, will I bring in upon you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.
9 So will I take you forth out of her midst, and will deliver you into the hand of foreigners, —and will execute upon you judgments.
Et eiiciam vos de medio eius, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis iudicia.
10 By the sword, shall ye fall, Upon the boundary of Israel, will I judge you, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Gladio cadetis: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
11 This city shall not serve you for a caldron, Neither shall, ye, serve in the midst thereof for flesh, —Near the boundary of Israel, will I judge you,
Hæc non erit vobis in lebetem, et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos.
12 So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh. In whose statutes, ye have not walked And whose appointments, ye have not executed, — But according to the appointments of the nations that are round about you, have ye done.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus: quia in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et iudicia mea non fecistis, sed iuxta iudicia Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, estis operati.
13 And it came to pass as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died, —so then I fell down upon my face and made outcry with a loud voice and said— Alas! My Lord Yahweh! A full end, art thou making of the remnant of Israel?
Et factum est, cum prophetarem, Pheltias filius Banaiæ mortuus est: et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna, et dixi: Heu, heu, heu Domine Deus: consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israel?
14 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
15 Son of man Thine own brethren, thine own brethren the men of thy kindred, even all the house of Israel all of it are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far away from Yahweh, To us, it is that the land, hath been given, for a possession!
Fili hominis, fratres tui, fratres tui, viri propinqui tui, et omnis domus Israel, universi, quibus dixerunt habitatores Ierusalem: Longe recedite a Domino, nobis data est terra in possessionem.
16 Therefore, say, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, And although I have dispersed them throughout the lands Yet have I become to them a sanctuary for a little while, in the lands which they have entered
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus, quia longe feci eos in Gentibus, et quia dispersi eos in terris: ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris, ad quas venerunt.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I assemble you from among the peoples, And gather you out of the lands wherein ye have been dispersed, - And will give you the soil of Israel.
Propterea loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Congregabo vos de populis, et adunabo de terris, in quibus dispersi estis, daboque vobis humum Israel.
18 So shall they come in thither, — and take away all her detestable things, and all her abominations, out of her;
Et ingredientur illuc, et auferent omnes offensiones, cunctasque abominationes eius de illa.
19 And I will give them another heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, —And will take away the heart of stone out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh:
Et dabo eis cor unum, et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum: et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum, et dabo eis cor carneum:
20 To the end that in my statutes, they may walk, And mine appointments, they may keep, and do them, — So shall they become my people, And I will become their God.
Ut in præceptis meis ambulent, et iudicia mea custodiant, faciantque ea: et sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum.
21 But as for them who having a heart for their detestable things and for their abominations after their own heart, do walk, Their way upon their own heads, will I render, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat, horum viam in capite suo ponam, dicit Dominus Deus.
22 Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, the wheels also going in unison with them, — the glory of the God of Israel, being over them above.
Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotæ cum eis: et gloria Dei Israel erat super ea.
23 Thus went up the glory of Yahweh, out from the midst of the city, —and stood on the mountain, which is on the east of the city.
Et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis, stetitque super montem, qui est ad Orientem urbis.
24 And, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to Chaldea unto them of the captivity, in the vision by the Spirit of God, —thus went up from me, the vision which I had seen.
Et Spiritus levavit me, adduxitque in Chaldæam ad transmigrationem, in visione in Spiritu Dei: et sublata est a me visio, quam videram.
25 So I spake unto them of the captivity, —all the words of Yahweh which he had shewed me.
Et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini, quæ ostenderat mihi.
