Ezekiel 5
1 “You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair.
Et tu fili hominis sume tibi gladium acutum, radentem pilos: et assumes eum, et duces per caput tuum, et per barbam tuam: et assumes tibi stateram ponderis, et divides eos.
2 A third part you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Tertiam partem igni combures in medio civitatis, iuxta completionem dierum obsidionis: et assumes tertiam partem, et concides gladio in circuitu eius: tertiam vero aliam disperges in ventum, et gladium nudabo post eos.
3 You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.
Et sumes inde parvum numerum: et ligabis eos in summitate pallii tui.
4 Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.
Et ex eis rursum tolles, et proiicies eos in medio ignis, et combures eos igni: et ex eo egredietur ignis in omnem domum Israel.
5 “The Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around her.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ista est Ierusalem, in medio Gentium posui eam, et in circuitu eius terras.
6 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.’
Et contempsit iudicia mea, ut plus esset impia quam Gentes: et præcepta mea ultra quam terræ, quæ in circuitu eius sunt. Iudicia enim mea proiecerunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt.
7 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia superastis Gentes, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et iudicia mea non fecistis, et iuxta iudicia Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, non estis operati;
8 therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
Ideo hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, et ipse ego faciam in medio tui iudicia in oculis Gentium.
9 I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your abominations.
Et faciam in te quod non feci, et quibus similia ultra non faciam propter omnes abominationes tuas.
10 Therefore the fathers will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds.
Ideo patres comedent filios in medio tui, et filii comedent patres suos, et faciam in te iudicia, et ventilabo universas reliquias tuas in omnem ventum.
11 Therefore as I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye won’t spare, and I will have no pity.
Idcirco vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: Nisi pro eo quod sanctum meum violasti in omnibus offensionibus tuis, et in cunctis abominationibus tuis: ego quoque confringam, et non parcet oculus meus, et non miserebor.
12 A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
Tertia pars tui peste morietur, et fame consumetur in medio tui: et tertia pars tui in gladio cadet in circuitu tuo: tertiam vero partem tuam in omnem ventum dispergam, et gladium evaginabo post eos.
13 “‘Thus my anger will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
Et complebo furorem meum, et requiescere faciam indignationem meam in eis, et consolabor: et scient quia ego Dominus locutus sum in zelo meo, cum implevero indignationem meam in eis.
14 “‘Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
Et dabo te in desertum, et in opprobrium Gentibus, quæ in circuitu tuo sunt, in conspectu omnis prætereuntis.
15 So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, the LORD, have spoken it—
Et eris opprobrium, et blasphemia, exemplum, et stupor in Gentibus, quæ in circuitu tuo sunt, cum fecero in te iudicia in furore, et in indignatione, et in increpationibus iræ.
16 when I send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on you and will break your staff of bread.
Ego Dominus locutus sum: Quando misero sagittas famis pessimas in eos: quæ erunt mortiferæ, et quas mittam ut disperdam vos: et famem congregabo super vos, et conteram in vobis baculum panis.
17 I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken it.’”
Et immittam in vos famem, et bestias pessimas usque ad internecionem: et pestilentia, et sanguis transibunt per te, et gladium inducam super te. Ego Dominus locutus sum.
