Ezekiel 14
1 Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
Et venerunt ad me viri seniorum Israel, et sederunt coram me.
2 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
3 “Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts and have put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their own faces. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
Fili hominis, viri isti posuerunt immunditias suas in cordibus suis, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerunt contra faciem suam: numquid interrogatus respondebo eis?
4 Therefore announce this to them and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, or who puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and who then comes to a prophet—I, Yahweh, will answer him according to the number of his idols.
Propter hoc loquere eis, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Homo homo de domo Israel, qui posuerit immunditias suas in corde suo, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerit contra faciem suam, et venerit ad prophetam interrogans per eum me: ego Dominus respondebo ei in multitudine immunditiarum suarum:
5 I will do this so that I may take back the house of Israel in their hearts that have been driven far from me through their idols.'
ut capiatur domus Israel in corde suo, quo recesserunt a me in cunctis idolis suis.
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Repent and turn away from your idols! Turn back your faces from all your abominations.
Propterea dic ad domum Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Convertimini, et recedite ab idolis vestris, et ab universis contaminationibus vestris avertite facies vestras.
7 For every one from the house of Israel and every one of the foreigners staying in Israel who deserts me, who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his own face, and who then comes to a prophet to seek me—I, Yahweh, will answer him myself.
Quia homo homo de domo Israel, et de proselytis quicumque advena fuerit in Israel, si alienatus fuerit a me, et posuerit idola sua in corde suo, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerit contra faciem suam, et venerit ad prophetam ut interroget per eum me: ego Dominus respondebo ei per me.
8 So I will set my face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, for I will cut him off from the midst of my people, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
Et ponam faciem meam super hominem illum, et faciam eum in exemplum, et in proverbium, et disperdam eum de medio populi mei: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
9 If a prophet is deceived and speaks a message, then I, Yahweh, will deceive that prophet; I will reach out with my hand against him and destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Et propheta cum erraverit, et locutus fuerit verbum: ego Dominus decepi prophetam illum: et extendam manum meam super illum, et delebo eum de medio populi mei Israel.
10 They will carry their own iniquity; the iniquity of the prophet will be the same as the iniquity of the one who inquires from him.
Et portabunt iniquitatem suam: iuxta iniquitatem interrogantis, sic iniquitas prophetæ erit:
11 Because of this, the house of Israel will no longer wander away from following me nor defile themselves any longer through all their transgressions. They will be my people, and I will be their God—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
ut non erret ultra domus Israel a me, neque polluatur in universis prævaricationibus suis: sed sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum, ait Dominus exercituum.
12 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
13 “Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a sin so that I reach out with my hand against it and break the staff of its bread, and send out over it a famine and cut off both man and beast from the land;
Fili hominis, terra cum peccaverit mihi, ut prævaricetur prævaricans, extendam manum meam super eam, et conteram virgam panis eius: et immittam in eam famem, et interficiam de ea hominem, et iumentum.
14 then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in the land's midst, they could only rescue their own lives by their righteousness—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Et si fuerint tres viri isti in medio eius, Noe, Daniel, et Iob: ipsi iustitia sua liberabunt animas suas, ait Dominus exercituum.
15 If I send evil beasts through the land and make it barren so that it becomes a wasteland where no man may pass through because of the beasts,
Quod si et bestias pessimas induxero super terram ut vastem eam; et fuerit invia, eo quod non sit pertransiens propter bestias:
16 then even if these same three men were in it—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued, but the land would become a wasteland.
Tres viri isti si fuerint in ea, vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia nec filios, nec filias liberabunt: sed ipsi soli liberabuntur, terra autem desolabitur.
17 Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, 'Sword, go through the land and cut off both man and beast from it',
Vel si gladium induxero super terram illam, et dixero gladio: Transi per terram: et interfecero de ea hominem, et iumentum:
18 then even if these three men were in the midst of the land—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued.
et tres viri isti fuerint in medio eius: vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, non liberabunt filios, neque filias: sed ipsi soli liberabuntur.
19 Or if I send a plague against this land and pour out my fury against it through bloodshed, in order to cut off both man and beast,
Si autem et pestilentiam immisero super terram illam, et effudero indignationem meam super eam in sanguine, ut auferam ex ea hominem, et iumentum:
20 then even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in that land—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued by their righteousness.
Et Noe, et Daniel, et Iob fuerint in medio eius: vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia filium, et filiam non liberabunt: sed ipsi iustitia sua liberabunt animas suas.
21 For the Lord Yahweh says this: I will certainly make things worse by sending my four punishments—famine, sword, wild animals, and plague—against Jerusalem to cut off both man and beast from her.
Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quod et si quattuor iudicia mea pessima, gladium, et famem, ac bestias malas, et pestilentiam immisero in Ierusalem ut interficiam de ea hominem, et pecus:
22 Yet, behold! A remnant will be left in her, survivors who will go out with sons and daughters. Behold! They will go out to you, and you will see their ways and actions and be comforted concerning the punishment that I have sent to Jerusalem, and about everything else that I have sent against the land.
tamen relinquetur in ea salvatio educentium filios, et filias: ecce ipsi ingredientur ad vos, et videbitis viam eorum, et adinventiones eorum, et consolabimini super malo, quod induxi in Ierusalem in omnibus, quæ importavi super eam.
23 The survivors will comfort you when you see their ways and their actions, so you will know all these things I have done against her, that I have not done them in vain!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
Et consolabuntur vos, cum videritis viam eorum, et adinventiones eorum: et cognoscetis quod non frustra fecerim omnia, quæ feci in ea, ait Dominus Deus.
