Ezekiel 36
1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
Tu autem, fili hominis, propheta super montes Israël, et dices: Montes Israël, audite verbum Domini.
2 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy had said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis: Euge, altitudines sempiternæ in hæreditatem datæ sunt nobis:
3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession to the rest of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
propterea vaticinare, et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, et facti in hæreditatem reliquis gentibus, et ascendistis super labium linguæ et opprobrium populi,
4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the rest of the heathen that are on every side;
propterea, montes Israël, audite verbum Domini Dei. Hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus, torrentibus, vallibusque et desertis, parietinis et urbibus derelictis, quæ depopulatæ sunt et subsannatæ a reliquis gentibus per circuitum.
5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the rest of the heathen, and against all Edom, who have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis gentibus, et de Idumæa universa, quæ dederunt terram meam sibi in hæreditatem cum gaudio, et toto corde et ex animo, et ejecerunt eam ut vastarent:
6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
idcirco vaticinare super humum Israël, et dices montibus et collibus, jugis et vallibus: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego in zelo meo et in furore meo locutus sum, eo quod confusionem gentium sustinueritis.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up my hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.
Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ego levavi manum meam, ut gentes quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsæ confusionem suam portent.
8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are soon to come.
Vos autem, montes Israël, ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israël: prope enim est ut veniat.
9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:
Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos: et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.
10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built:
Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israël: et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur.
11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you according to your old estates, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Et replebo vos hominibus et jumentis, et multiplicabuntur, et crescent: et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, bonisque donabo majoribus quam habuistis ab initio: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
Et adducam super vos homines, populum meum Israël, et hæreditate possidebunt te: et eris eis in hæreditatem, et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis.
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say to you, Thou land devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nations;
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis: Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam:
14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus.
15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis: et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.
16 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a defiled woman.
Fili hominis, domus Israël habitaverunt in humo sua, et polluerunt eam in viis suis et in studiis suis: juxta immunditiam menstruatæ facta est via eorum coram me.
18 Therefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols with which they had polluted it:
Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.
19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
Et dispersi eos in gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras: juxta vias eorum et adinventiones eorum judicavi eos.
20 And when they entered among the heathen, where they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
Et ingressi sunt ad gentes ad quas introierunt: et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, cum diceretur de eis: Populus Domini iste est, et de terra ejus egressi sunt.
21 But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, where they went.
Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israël in gentibus ad quas ingressi sunt.
22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, where ye went.
Idcirco dices domui Israël: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israël, sed propter nomen sanctum meum, quod polluistis in gentibus ad quas intrastis.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum quod pollutum est inter gentes, quod polluistis in medio earum: ut sciant gentes quia ego Dominus, ait Dominus exercituum, cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis.
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Tollam quippe vos de gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Et dabo vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri: et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, et dabo vobis cor carneum.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Et spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri: et faciam ut in præceptis meis ambuletis, et judicia mea custodiatis et operemini.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Et habitabitis in terra quam dedi patribus vestris: et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the grain, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris: et vocabo frumentum et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in gentibus.
31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum: et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ et scelera vestra.
32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis: confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israël.
33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et inhabitari fecero urbes, et instauravero ruinosa,
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, though it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fortified, and are inhabited.
dicent: Terra illa inculta facta est ut hortus voluptatis: et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.
36 Then the heathen that are left around you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that which was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
Et scient gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta: ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.
37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israël, ut faciam eis: multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum,
38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Jerusalem in solemnitatibus ejus: sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum: et scient quia ego Dominus.
