Ezekiel 22
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 “You human, are you ready to condemn the people of Jerusalem? It is [RHQ] a city full of murderers [MTY]. Remind them of all the detestable things that they have done.
Et tu fili hominis nonne iudicas, nonne iudicas civitatem sanguinum?
3 [Then] say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: By your murdering people and by (defiling yourselves/making yourselves unacceptable to God) by making idols, you people of this city [APO] have brought to yourselves the time when you [will be destroyed].
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 become guilty by doing both of those things [DOU]. You have brought to an end your time [to remain alive] [DOU]. Therefore I will cause you to become a group whom the [people of other] nations will scorn; they will all laugh at you [DOU].
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 People in countries that are near you and people who live far from you will make fun of you, because your city is full of lawless people and full of confusion.
Quae iuxta sunt, et quae procul a te, triumphabunt de te: sordida, nobilis, grandis interitu.
6 Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
Ecce principes Israel singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem.
7 Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
Patrem, et matrem contumeliis affecerunt in te, advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui, pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te:
8 You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
Sanctuaria mea sprevistis, et sabbata mea polluistis.
9 Among you are men who tell lies in order to cause others to be executed [MTY]. There are those who [food offered to idols] at the hilltop [shrines], and they perform disgusting sexual acts.
Viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem, et super montes comederunt in te, scelus operati sunt in medio tui.
10 There are men who have sex with their father’s wives [EUP], and men who have sex with women during their monthly menstrual periods.
Verecundiora patris discooperuerunt in te, immunditiam menstruatae humiliaverunt in te.
11 There are men who have sex with someone else’s wife. Some men have sex with their daughters-in-law or with their sisters or half-sisters.
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 There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed [MTY]. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. [the worst thing is that] you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.
Munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem: usuram, et superabundantiam accepisti, et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris: meique oblita es, ait Dominus Deus.
13 So I will shake my fists at you to show that I am angry with you because of your stealing money from people and murdering [MTY] people who live among you.
Ecce complosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam, quam fecisti, et super sanguinem, qui effusus est in medio tui.
14 When I [punishing] you, you will no longer [RHQ] be courageous/brave [DOU]. I, Yahweh, have said [what I will do to you], and I will do it.
Numquid sustinebit cor tuum, aut praevalebunt manus tuae in diebus, quos ego faciam tibi? ego Dominus locutus sum, et faciam.
15 I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
Et dispergam te in nationes, et ventilabo te in terras, et deficere faciam immunditiam tuam a te.
16 When [the people of other] nations see that you have been humiliated, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Et possidebo te in conspectu Gentium: et scies quia ego Dominus.
17 Yahweh [also] said to me,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
18 “You human, your Israeli people [MTY] have [useless] to me. They are [like] [MET] dross/slag to me. They are like [SIM] [worthless] copper, tin, iron, and lead that remains after silver is melted in [very hot] furnace.
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, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Because you have all become [like] dross/slag, I will gather you in Jerusalem.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam, propterea ecce ego congregabo vos in medio Ierusalem,
20 People [ore containing] silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin in a [very hot] furnace and melt them in a blazing [to burn up the impurities]. Similarly [SIM], I will gather you [inside Jerusalem], and because I am very angry with you, [what I will do will be as though] I am melting 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 [It will be as though] I will blow on you with a hot breath that shows that I am very angry, [it will be as though] you will be melted,
Et congregabo vos, et succendam vos in igne furoris mei, et conflabimini in medio eius.
22 as though you will be melted like [SIM] silver is melted in a furnace, and then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my punishment [MTY] 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 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
24 “You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
Fili hominis, dic ei: Tu es terra immunda, et non compluta in die furoris.
25 Your leaders are like [SIM] lions that tear apart the animals that they have killed. Your leaders destroy their people. They steal treasures and [other] valuable things from people, and they cause many women to become [by murdering their husbands].
Coniuratio prophetarum in medio eius, sicut leo rugiens, rapiensque praedam, animas devoraverunt, opes et pretium acceperunt, viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius.
26 Their priests disobey my laws and disrespect my sacred things by saying that there is no difference between things that are sacred and those that are not sacred, and by ignoring my laws about honoring the Sabbath days. As a result, they no [longer] honor me.
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 Their officials are like [SIM] wolves that tear apart the animals that they have killed: They murder people [DOU] in order to get their money.
Principes eius in medio illius, quasi lupi rapientes praedam ad effundendum sanguinem, et ad perdendas animas, et avare ad sectanda lucra.
28 Their prophets, by falsely saying they have received [from God], and by giving false messages, try to (cover up [MET]/say that it is all right to commit) those sins. They say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ when I have said nothing to them.
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 Israeli people force others to give them money, and they rob people. They oppress poor [DOU] people, and they mistreat foreigners among them by not treating them [in the courts].
Populi terrae calumniabantur calumniam, et rapiebant violenter: egenum, et pauperem affligebant, et advenam opprimebant calumnia absque iudicio.
30 I looked among them to find a man who would cause the people of the city to repent [MET] so that I would not need to get rid of them. But I did not find anyone.
Et quaesivi de eis virum, qui interponeret sepem, et staret oppositus contra me pro terra, ne dissiparem eam: et non inveni.
31 So because I am very angry with them, I will severely punish them [MTY] for [all] the wicked things that they have done. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”
Et effudi super eos indignationem meam, in igne irae meae consumpsi eos: viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi, ait Dominus Deus.
