Ezekiel 23
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 and he seide, Thou, sone of man, twei wymmen weren the douytris of o modir, and diden fornycacioun in Egipt;
Fili hominis, duae mulieres filiae matris unius fuerunt,
3 in her yonge wexynge age thei diden fornicacioun; there the brestis of hem weren maad low, and the tetis of the tyme of mariage of hem weren brokun.
et fornicatae sunt in Aegypto, in adolescentia sua fornicatae sunt: ibi subacta sunt ubera earum, et fractae sunt mammae pubertatis earum.
4 Forsothe the names of hem ben, Oolla, the more sistir, and Ooliba the lesse sistir of hir. And Y hadde hem, and thei childiden sones and douytris; certis the names of hem ben Samarie Oolla, and Jerusalem Ooliba.
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 Therfor Oolla dide fornicacioun on me, and was wood on hir louyeris, on Assiriens neiyinge,
Fornicata est igitur super me Oolla, et insanivit in amatores suos, in Assyrios propinquantes,
6 clothid with iacinct, princes, and magistratis, yonge men of coueytise, alle kniytis, and stieris of horsis.
vestitos hyacintho, principes, et magistratus, iuvenes cupidinis, universos equites, ascensores equorum.
7 And sche yaf hir fornicaciouns on hem, on alle the chosun sones of Assiriens; and in alle on whiche sche was wood, sche was defoulid in the vnclennessis of hem.
Et dedit fornicationes suas super eos electos, filios Assyriorum universos: et in omnibus, in quos insanivit, in immunditiis eorum polluta est.
8 Ferthermore and sche lefte not hir fornicaciouns, whiche sche hadde in Egipt; for whi and thei slepten with hir in the yongthe of hir, and thei braken the tetis of the tyme of mariage of hir, and thei scheden out her fornicacioun on hir.
Insuper et fornicationes suas, quas habuerat in Aegypto, non reliquit: nam et illi dormierunt cum ea in adolescentia eius, et illi confregerunt ubera pubertatis eius, et effuderunt fornicationem suam super eam.
9 Therfor Y yaf hir in to the hondis of hir louyeris, in to the hondis of the sones of Assur, on whos letcherie sche was wood.
Propterea tradidi eam in manus amatorum suorum, in manus filiorum Assur, super quorum insanivit libidine.
10 Thei diskyueriden the schenschipe of hir; thei token awei the sones and the douytris of hir, and killiden hir with swerd; and the wymmen weren maad famouse, that is, sclaundrid, and thei diden domes in hir.
Ipsi discooperuerunt ignominiam eius, filios, et filias eius tulerunt, et ipsam occiderunt gladio: et factae sunt famosae mulieres, et iudicia perpetraverunt in ea.
11 And whanne hir sistir Ooliba hadde seyn this, sche was wood in letcherie more than that sistre, and yaf vnschamefastli hir fornicacioun on the fornicacioun of hir sistre,
Quod cum vidisset soror eius Ooliba, plusquam illa insanivit libidine: et fornicationem suam super fornicationem sororis suae
12 to the sones of Assiriens, to duykis and magistratis comynge to hir, that weren clothid with dyuerse cloth, to knyytis that weren borun on horsis, and to yonge men with noble schap, to alle men.
ad filios Assyriorum praebuit impudenter, ducibus, et magistratibus ad se venientibus indutis veste varia, equitibus qui vectabantur equis, et adolescentibus forma cunctis egregia.
13 And Y siy that o weie of both sistris was defoulid,
Et vidi quod polluta esset via una ambarum.
14 and sche encreesside hir fornycaciouns. And whanne sche hadde seyn men peyntid in the wal, the ymagis of Caldeis expressid with colouris,
Et auxit fornicationes suas: cumque vidisset viros depictos in pariete, imagines Chaldaeorum expressas coloribus,
15 and gird on the reynes with kniytis girdlis, and cappis peyntid in the heedis of hem, the foormes of alle duykis, the licnesse of the sones of Babiloyne, and of the lond of Caldeis, in which thei weren borun;
et accinctos balteis renes, et tiaras tinctas in capitibus eorum, formam ducum omnium, similitudinem filiorum Babylonis, terraeque Chaldaeorum, in qua orti sunt,
16 sche was wood on hem bi coueitise of hir iyen, and sche sente messangeris to hem in to Caldee.
insanivit super eos concupiscentia oculorum suorum, et misit nuncios ad eos in Chaldaeam.
17 And whanne the sones of Babiloyne weren comun to hir, to the bed of tetis, thei defouliden hir in her letcheries of virgyns; and sche was defoulid of hem, and the soule of hir was fillid of hem.
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 Also sche made nakid hir fornicaciouns, and diskyuered hir schenschipe; and my soule yede awei fro hir, as my soule hadde go awei fro hir sistir.
Denudavit quoque fornicationes suas, et discooperuit ignominiam suam: et recessit anima mea ab ea, sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore eius.
19 For sche multiplied hir fornicaciouns, and hadde mynde on the daies of hir yongthe, in whiche sche dide fornicacioun in the lond of Egipt.
Multiplicavit enim fornicationes suas, recordans dies adolescentiae suae, quibus fornicata est in Terra Aegypti.
20 And sche was wood in letcherie on the liggyng bi of hem, whos fleischis ben as the fleischis of assis, and as the membris of horsis ben the membris of hem.
Et insanivit libidine super concubitum eorum, quorum carnes sunt ut carnes asinorum: et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum.
21 And thou visitidist the grete trespas of thi yongthe, whanne thi brestis weren maad low in Egipt, and the tetis of the tyme of thi mariage weren brokun.
Et visitasti scelus adolescentiae tuae, quando subacta sunt in Aegypto ubera tua, et confractae sunt mammae pubertatis tuae.
22 Therfor, thou Ooliba, the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise alle thi louyeris ayens thee, of whiche thi soule was fillid, and Y schal gadere hem ayens thee in cumpas;
Propterea Ooliba, haec 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 sones of Babiloyne, and alle Caldeis, noble and miyti men, and princes, alle the sones of Assiriens, and yonge men of noble foorme, duykis, and magistratis, alle princes of princes, and named stieris of horsis.
Filios Babylonis, et universos Chaldaeos, nobiles, tyrannosque et principes, omnes filios Assyriorum, iuvenes forma egregia, duces, et magistratus universos, principes principum, et nominatos ascensores equorum:
24 And thei araied with chare and wheel schulen come on thee, the multitude of puplis schulen be armed with haburioun, and scheeld, and basynet, ayens thee on ech side; and Y schal yyue doom bifor hem, and thei schulen deme thee bi her domes.
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 Y schal sette my feruour in thee, which thei schulen vse with thee in woodnesse; thei schulen kitte awei thi nose and thin eeris, and thei schulen sle with swerd tho thingis that weren left; thei schulen take thi sones and thi douytris, and thi laste thing schal be deuourid bi fier.
Et ponam zelum meum in te, quem exercent tecum in furore: nasum tuum, et aures tuas praecident: et quae remanserint, gladio concident: ipsi filios tuos, et filias tuas capient, et novissimum tuum devorabitur igne.
26 And thei schulen make thee nakid of thi clothis, and thei schulen take awei the vessels of thi glorie.
Et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et tollent vasa gloriae tuae.
27 And Y schal make thi greet trespasse to reste fro thee, and thi fornicacioun fro the lond of Egipt; and thou schalt not reise thin iyen to hem, and thou schalt no more haue mynde on Egipt.
Et requiescere faciam scelus tuum de te, et fornicationem tuam de Terra Aegypti: nec levabis oculos tuos ad eos, et Aegypti non recordaberis amplius.
28 For the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue thee in to the hondis of hem whiche thou hatist, `in to the hondis of hem of whiche thi soule was fillid,
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego tradam te in manus eorum, quos odisti, in manus, de quibus satiata est anima tua.
29 and thei schulen do with thee in hatrede. And thei schulen take awei alle thi trauels, and thei schulen leeue thee nakid, and ful of schenschipe; and the schenschipe of thi fornicaciouns schal be schewid. Thi greet
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 tuae.
30 trespas and thi fornycaciouns han do these thingis to thee; for thou didist fornicacioun aftir hethene men, among whiche thou were defoulid in the idols of hem.
Fecerunt haec tibi quia fornicata es post Gentes, inter quas polluta es in idolis earum.
31 Thou yedist in the weie of thi sister, and Y schal yyue the cuppe of hir in thin hond.
In via sororis tuae ambulasti, et dabo calicem eius in manu tua.
32 The Lord God seith these thingis, Thou schalt drinke the cuppe of thi sistir, the depthe, and the broodnesse; thou that art most able to take, schalt be in to scornyng, and in to mouwyng.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Calicem sororis tuae bibes profundum, et latum: eris in derisum, et in subsannationem, quae est capacissima.
33 Thou schalt be fillid with drunkenesse and sorewe, with the cuppe of mourenyng and of heuynesse, with the cuppe of thi sister Samarie.
Ebrietate, et dolore repleberis: calice moeroris, et tristitiae, calice sororis tuae Samariae.
34 And thou schalt drynke it, and thou schalt drinke of til to the drastis, and thou schalt deuoure the relifs therof, and thou schalt to-reende thi brestis, for Y the Lord spak, seith the Lord God.
Et bibes illum, et epotabis usque ad faeces, et fragmenta eius devorabis, et ubera tua lacerabis: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
35 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For thou hast foryete me, and hast cast forth me bihynde thi bodi, bere thou also thi greet trespas and thi fornicaciouns.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia oblita es mei, et proiecisti me post corpus tuum, tu quoque porta scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuas.
36 And the Lord God seide to me, and spak, Sone of man, whether thou demest Ooliba and Oolla, and tellist to hem the grete trespassis of hem?
Et ait Dominus ad me, dicens: Fili hominis numquid iudicas Oollam, et Oolibam, et annuncias eis scelera earum?
37 For thei diden auowtrie, and blood was in the hondis of hem, and thei diden fornicacioun with her idols; ferthermore and thei offriden to tho the sones whiche thei gendriden to me, for to be deuourid.
Quia adulteratae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum, et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt: insuper et filios suos, quos genuerunt mihi, obtulerunt eis ad devorandum.
38 But also thei diden this to me, thei defouleden my seyntuarie in that dai, and maden vnhooli my sabatis.
Sed et hoc fecerunt mihi: Polluerunt sanctuarium meum in die illa, et sabbata mea profanaverunt.
39 And whanne thei sacrifisiden her sones to her idols, and entriden in to my seyntuarie in that dai, that thei schulden defoule it, thei diden also these thingis in the myddis of myn hous.
Cumque immolarent filios suos idolis suis, et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa ut polluerent illud: etiam haec fecerunt in medio domus meae.
40 Thei senten to men comyng fro fer, to whiche thei hadden sent messangeris. Therfor lo! thei camen, to whiche thou waischidist thee, and anoyntidist thin iyen with oynement of wymmen, and thou were ourned with wymmens atier.
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 Thou satist in a ful fair bed, and a boord was ourned bifor thee; thou settidist myn encense and myn oynement on it.
Sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo, et mensa ornata est ante te: thymiama meum, et unguentum meum posuisti super eam.
42 And a vois of multitude makynge ful out ioye was ther ynne; and in men that weren brouyt of the multitude of men, and camen fro desert, thei settiden bies in the hondis of hem, and faire corouns on the heedis of hem.
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 And Y seide to hir, that was defoulid in auoutries, Now also this schal do fornycacioun in hir fornicacioun.
Et dixi ei, quae attrita est in adulteriis: Nunc fornicabitur in fornicatione sua etiam haec.
44 And thei entriden to hir; as to a womman, an hoore, so thei entriden to Oolla and to Ooliba, cursid wymmen.
Et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem: sic ingrediebantur ad Oollam, et Oolibam mulieres nefarias.
45 Therfor these men ben iust, these schulen deme thilke wymmen bi the doom of auoutressis, and bi the doom of hem that scheden out blood; for thei ben auoutressis, and blood is in the hondis of hem, and thei diden fornicacioun with her idols.
Viri ergo iusti sunt: hi iudicabunt eas iudicio adulterarum, et iudicio effundentium sanguinem: quia adulterae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt.
46 For the Lord God seith these thingis, Bringe thou multitudis to hem, and yyue thou hem in to noise, and in to raueyn;
Haec enim dicit Dominus Deus: Adduc ad eas multitudinem, et trade eas in tumultum, et in rapinam:
47 and be thei stoonyd with the stoonys of puplis, and be thei stikid togidere with the swerdis of hem. Thei schulen sle the sones and the douytris of hem, and thei schulen brenne with fier the housis of hem.
Et lapidentur lapidibus populorum, et confodiantur gladiis eorum: filios, et filias earum interficient, et domos earum igne succendent.
48 And Y schal do awei greet trespas fro the lond; and alle wymmen schulen lerne, that thei do not aftir the greet trespas of hem.
Et auferam scelus de terra, et discent omnes mulieres ne faciant secundum scelus earum.
49 And thei schulen yyue youre grete trespas on you; and ye schulen bere the synnes of youre idols, and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God.
Et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos, et peccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
