Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “Son of man, what you have found, eat. Eat this scroll, then 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 So I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
Et aperui os meum, et cibavit me volumine illo:
3 He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I have given to you!” So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey 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 Then he said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis vade ad domum Israel, et loqueris verba mea ad eos.
5 For you are not being sent to a people of strange speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
Non enim ad populum profundi sermonis, et ignotae linguae tu mitteris ad domum Israel:
6 not to many peoples of strange speech or a difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
neque ad populos profundi sermonis, et ignotae linguae, quorum non possis audire sermones: et si ad illos mittereris, ipsi audirent te.
7 But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me. So all the house of Israel is strong browed and hard 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 as stubborn as their faces and your brow as hard as their brows.
Ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebus eorum, et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum.
9 I have made your brow like a diamond, harder than flint! Do not fear them or be discouraged by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.”
Ut adamantem, et ut silicem dedi faciem tuam: ne timeas eos, neque metuas a facie eorum: quia domus exasperans est.
10 Then he said to me, “Son of man, all the words that I announce to you—take them into your heart and hear them 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 Then go to the captives, to your people, and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says,' whether they will listen or not.”
Et vade ad transmigrationem, et ingredere ad filios populi tui, et loqueris ad eos, et dices eis: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: si forte audiant, et quiescant.
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place!”
Et assumpsit me spiritus, et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnae: Benedicta gloria Domini de loco suo,
13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels that were with them, and the sound of a great earthquake.
et vocem alarum animalium percutientium alteram ad alteram, et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia, et vocem commotionis magnae.
14 The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went with bitterness in my spirit's rage, for the hand of Yahweh was powerfully pressing on me!
Spiritus quoque levavit me, et assumpsit me: et abii amarus in indignatione spiritus mei: manus enim Domini erat mecum, confortans me.
15 So I went to the captives at Tel Aviv who lived along the Kebar Canal, and I stayed there among them for seven days, overwhelmed in amazement.
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 moerens in medio eorum.
16 Then it happened after seven days that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Cum autem pertransissent septem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel, so listen to the word from my mouth, and give them my warning.
Fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israel: et audies de ore meo verbum, et annunciabis eis ex me.
18 When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak a warning to the wicked about his evil deeds so he might live—the wicked one will die for his sin, but I will 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 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked deeds, then he will die for his sin, but you will have rescued your own life.
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 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, and I set a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and I will not call to mind the righteous deeds that he performed, but I will 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 iustitiae eius, quas fecit: sanguinem vero cuis de manu tua requiram.
21 But if you warn the righteous man to stop sinning so that he no longer sins, he will surely live since he was warned; and you will have rescued your own life.”
Si autem tu annunciaveris iusto ut non peccet iustus, et ille non peccaverit: vivens vivet, quia annunciasti ei, et tu animam tuam liberasti.
22 So the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Arise! Go out into the plain, and I will speak with you there!”
Et facta est ibi super me manus Domini, et dixit ad me: Surgens egredere in campum, et ibi loquar tecum.
23 I arose and went out into the plain, and there the glory of Yahweh was staying, like the glory that I had seen beside the Kebar Canal; so I fell 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 The Spirit came to me and stood me up on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, “Go and shut yourself up within 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 tuae.
25 for now, son of man, they will place ropes upon you and tie you so you cannot go out among them.
Et tu fili hominis, ecce data sunt super te vincula, et ligabunt te in eis: et non egredieris de medio eorum.
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so you will be mute, and you will not be able to rebuke them, since they are a rebellious house.
Et linguam tuam adhaerere faciam palato tuo, et eris mutus, nec quasi vir obiurgans: quia domus exasperans est.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth so you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.' The one who will hear will hear; the one who will not listen will not listen, for they are a rebellious house!”
Cum autem locutus fuero tibi, aperiam os tuum, et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Qui audit, audiat: et qui quiescit, quiescat: quia domus exasperans est.
