Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Et elevavit me spiritus, et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem, quæ respicit ad solis ortum: et ecce in introitu portæ viginti quinque viri: et vidi in medio eorum Jezoniam filium Azur, et Pheltiam filium Banaiæ, principes populi.
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Dixitque ad me: Fili hominis, hi sunt viri qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
dicentes: Nonne dudum ædificatæ sunt domus? hæc est lebes, nos autem carnes.
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare, fili hominis.
5 Yahweh’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘Yahweh says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Et irruit in me spiritus Domini, et dixit ad me: Loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus: Sic locuti estis, domus Israël, et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias ejus interfectis.
7 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Interfecti vestri, quos posuistis in medio ejus, hi sunt carnes, et hæc est lebes: et educam vos de medio ejus.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Et ejiciam vos de medio ejus, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis judicia.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
Gladio cadetis: in finibus Israël judicabo vos, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
Hæc non erit vobis in lebetem, et vos non eritis in medio ejus in carnes: in finibus Israël judicabo vos,
12 You will know that I am Yahweh, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
et scietis quia ego Dominus: quia in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et judicia mea non fecistis, sed juxta judicia gentium quæ in circuitu vestro sunt estis operati.
13 When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Et factum est cum prophetarem, Pheltias filius Banaiæ mortuus est: et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna, et dixi: Heu! heu! heu! Domine Deus, consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israël?
14 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from Yahweh. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
Fili hominis, fratres tui, fratres tui, viri propinqui tui, et omnis domus Israël, universi quibus dixerunt habitatores Jerusalem: Longe recedite a Domino: nobis data est terra in possessionem.
16 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia longe feci eos in gentibus, et quia dispersi eos in terris: ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris ad quas venerunt.
17 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”
Propterea loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Congregabo vos de populis, et adunabo de terris in quibus dispersi estis, daboque vobis humum Israël.
18 “‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
Et ingredientur illuc, et auferent omnes offensiones, cunctasque abominationes ejus de illa.
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
Et dabo eis cor unum, et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum: et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum, et dabo eis cor carneum,
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
ut in præceptis meis ambulent, et judicia mea custodiant, faciantque ea, et sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
Quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat, horum viam in capite suo ponam, dicit Dominus Deus.
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotæ cum eis, et gloria Dei Israël erat super ea:
23 Yahweh’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis, stetitque super montem qui est ad orientem urbis.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Et spiritus levavit me, adduxitque in Chaldæam ad transmigrationem, in visione, in spiritu Dei: et sublata est a me visio quam videram.
25 Then I spoke to the captives all the things that Yahweh had shown me.
Et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini quæ ostenderat mihi.
