Ezekiel 23
1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
Fili hominis, duæ mulieres filiæ matris unius fuerunt,
3 And they committed harlotries in Egypt; they committed harlotries in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
et fornicatæ sunt in Ægypto, in adolescentia sua fornicatæ sunt: ibi subacta sunt ubera earum, et fractæ sunt mammæ pubertatis earum.
4 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
Nomina autem earum Oolla maior, et Ooliba soror eius minor: et habui eas, et pepererunt filios, et filias. Porro earum nomina Samaria Oolla, et Ierusalem Ooliba.
5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
Fornicata est igitur super me Oolla, et insanivit in amatores suos, in Assyrios propinquantes,
6 Who were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
vestitos hyacintho, principes, et magistratus, iuvenes cupidinis, universos equites, ascensores equorum.
7 Thus she committed her harlotries with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
Et dedit fornicationes suas super eos electos, filios Assyriorum universos: et in omnibus, in quos insanivit, in immunditiis eorum polluta est.
8 Neither left she her harlotries brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their lust upon her.
Insuper et fornicationes suas, quas habuerat in Ægypto, non reliquit: nam et illi dormierunt cum ea in adolescentia eius, et illi confregerunt ubera pubertatis eius, et effuderunt fornicationem suam super eam.
9 Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
Propterea tradidi eam in manus amatorum suorum, in manus filiorum Assur, super quorum insanivit libidine.
10 These uncovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
Ipsi discooperuerunt ignominiam eius, filios, et filias eius tulerunt, et ipsam occiderunt gladio: et factæ sunt famosæ mulieres, et iudicia perpetraverunt in ea.
11 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her harlotries more than her sister in her harlotries.
Quod cum vidisset soror eius Ooliba, plusquam illa insanivit libidine: et fornicationem suam super fornicationem sororis suæ
12 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
ad filios Assyriorum præbuit impudenter, ducibus, et magistratibus ad se venientibus indutis veste varia, equitibus qui vectabantur equis, et adolescentibus forma cunctis egregia.
13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
Et vidi quod polluta esset via una ambarum.
14 And that she increased her harlotries: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
Et auxit fornicationes suas: cumque vidisset viros depictos in pariete, imagines Chaldæorum expressas coloribus,
15 Girded with belts upon their loins, flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
et accinctos balteis renes, et tiaras tinctas in capitibus eorum, formam ducum omnium, similitudinem filiorum Babylonis, terræque Chaldæorum, in qua orti sunt,
16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
insanivit super eos concupiscentia oculorum suorum, et misit nuncios ad eos in Chaldæam.
17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their immorality, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
Cumque venissent ad eam filii Babylonis ad cubile mammarum, polluerunt eam stupris suis, et polluta est ab eis, et saturata est anima eius ab illis.
18 So she revealed her harlotries, and uncovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, as my mind was alienated from her sister.
Denudavit quoque fornicationes suas, et discooperuit ignominiam suam: et recessit anima mea ab ea, sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore eius.
19 Yet she multiplied her harlotries, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Multiplicavit enim fornicationes suas, recordans dies adolescentiæ suæ, quibus fornicata est in Terra Ægypti.
20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Et insanivit libidine super concubitum eorum, quorum carnes sunt ut carnes asinorum: et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum.
21 Thus thou didst call to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.
Et visitasti scelus adolescentiæ tuæ, quando subacta sunt in Ægypto ubera tua, et confractæ sunt mammæ pubertatis tuæ.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
Propterea Ooliba, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego suscitabo omnes amatores tuos contra te, de quibus satiata est anima tua: et congregabo eos adversum te in circuitu,
23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
Filios Babylonis, et universos Chaldæos, nobiles, tyrannosque et principes, omnes filios Assyriorum, iuvenes forma egregia, duces, et magistratus universos, principes principum, et nominatos ascensores equorum:
24 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall commit against thee buckler and shield and helmet on every side: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
et venient super te instructi curru, et rota, multitudo populorum: lorica, et clypeo, et galea armabuntur contra te undique: et dabo coram eis iudicium, et iudicabunt te iudiciis suis.
25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thy ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy remnant shall be devoured by the fire.
Et ponam zelum meum in te, quem exercent tecum in furore: nasum tuum, et aures tuas præcident: et quæ remanserint, gladio concident: ipsi filios tuos, et filias tuas capient, et novissimum tuum devorabitur igni.
26 They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
Et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et tollent vasa gloriæ tuæ.
27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy harlotry brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Et requiescere faciam scelus tuum de te, et fornicationem tuam de Terra Ægypti: nec levabis oculos tuos ad eos, et Ægypti non recordaberis amplius.
28 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego tradam te in manus eorum, quos odisti, in manus, de quibus satiata est anima tua.
29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy harlotries shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy harlotries.
Et agent tecum in odio, et tollent omnes labores tuos, et dimittent te nudam, et ignominia plenam, et revelabitur ignominia fornicationum tuarum, scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuæ.
30 I will do these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
Fecerunt hæc tibi quia fornicata es post Gentes, inter quas polluta es in idolis earum.
31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand.
In via sororis tuæ ambulasti, et dabo calicem eius in manu tua.
32 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed at and had in derision; it containeth much.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Calicem sororis tuæ bibes profundum, et latum: eris in derisum, et in subsannationem, quæ est capacissima.
33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of horror and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
Ebrietate, et dolore repleberis: calice mœroris, et tristitiæ, calice sororis tuæ Samariæ.
34 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it, and thou shalt break its pieces, and pluck off thy own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Et bibes illum, et epotabis usque ad fæces, et fragmenta eius devorabis, et ubera tua lacerabis: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy harlotries.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia oblita es mei, et proiecisti me post corpus tuum, tu quoque porta scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuas.
36 The LORD said moreover to me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare to them their abominations;
Et ait Dominus ad me, dicens: Fili hominis numquid iudicas Oollam, et Oolibam, et annuncias eis scelera earum?
37 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
Quia adulteratæ sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum, et cum idolis suis fornicatæ sunt: insuper et filios suos, quos genuerunt mihi, obtulerunt eis ad devorandum.
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Sed et hoc fecerunt mihi: Polluerunt sanctuarium meum in die illa, et sabbata mea profanaverunt.
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
Cumque immolarent filios suos idolis suis, et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa ut polluerent illud: etiam hæc fecerunt in medio domus meæ.
40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, to whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, didst paint thy eyes, and didst deck thyself with ornaments,
Miserunt ad viros venientes de longe, ad quos nuncium miserant: itaque ecce venerunt: quibus te lavisti, et circumlinisti stibio oculos tuos, et ornata es mundo muliebri.
41 And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, upon which thou hast set my incense and my oil.
Sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo, et mensa ornata est ante te: thymiama meum, et unguentum meum posuisti super eam.
42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, who put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
Et vox multitudinis exultantis erat in ea: et in viris, qui de multitudine hominum adducebantur, et veniebant de deserto, posuerunt armillas in manibus eorum, et coronas speciosas in capitibus eorum.
43 Then said I to her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit harlotries with her, and she with them?
Et dixi ei, quæ attrita est in adulteriis: Nunc fornicabitur in fornicatione sua etiam hæc.
44 Yet they went in to her, as they go in to a woman that playeth the harlot: so they went in to Aholah and to Aholibah, the lewd women.
Et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem: sic ingrediebantur ad Oollam, et Oolibam mulieres nefarias.
45 And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Viri ergo iusti sunt: hi iudicabunt eas iudicio adulterarum, et iudicio effundentium sanguinem: quia adulteræ sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum.
46 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and plundered.
Hæc enim dicit Dominus Deus: Adduc ad eas multitudinem, et trade eas in tumultum, et in rapinam:
47 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.
Et lapidentur lapidibus populorum, et confodiantur gladiis eorum: filios, et filias earum interficient, et domos earum igne succendent.
48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
Et auferam scelus de terra, et discent omnes mulieres ne faciant secundum scelus earum.
49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos, et peccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
