Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Et tu, fili hominis, hæc dicit Dominus Deus terræ Israël: [Finis venit: venit finis super quatuor plagas terræ.
"You, son of man, say, 'Thus says the LORD to the land of Israel: An end has come. The end has come on the four quarters of the land.
3 Nunc finis super te, et immittam furorem meum in te: et judicabo te juxta vias tuas, et ponam contra te omnes abominationes tuas.
Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
4 Et non parcet oculus meus super te, et non miserebor: sed vias tuas ponam super te, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
5 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Afflictio una, afflictio ecce venit.
"Thus says the LORD: 'A disaster, a unique disaster; look, it comes.
6 Finis venit, venit finis: evigilavit adversum te, ecce venit.
An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; look, it comes.
7 Venit contritio super te, qui habitas in terra: venit tempus, prope est dies occisionis, et non gloriæ montium.
Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.
8 Nunc de propinquo effundam iram meam super te, et complebo furorem meum in te: et judicabo te juxta vias tuas, et imponam tibi omnia scelera tua,
Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
9 et non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor: sed vias tuas imponam tibi, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt, et scietis quia ego sum Dominus percutiens.
My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, the LORD, do strike.
10 Ecce dies, ecce venit: egressa est contritio, floruit virga, germinavit superbia,
Look, the day, look, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.'
11 iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis: non ex eis, et non ex populo, neque ex sonitu eorum: et non erit requies in eis.
"Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among them.
12 Venit tempus, appropinquavit dies: qui emit, non lætetur, et qui vendit, non lugeat: quia ira super omnem populum ejus.
The time has come, the day draws near: do not let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
13 Quia qui vendit, ad id quod vendidit non revertetur: et adhuc in viventibus vita eorum: visio enim ad omnem multitudinem ejus non regredietur, et vir in iniquitate vitæ suæ non confortabitur.]
For the buyer shall not return to the seller while they live. For the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 [Canite tuba, præparentur omnes: et non est qui vadat ad prælium: ira enim mea super universum populum ejus.
They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.
15 Gladium foris, et pestis et fames intrinsecus: qui in agro est, gladio morietur, et qui in civitate, pestilentia et fame devorabuntur.
The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis: et erunt in montibus quasi columbæ convallium omnes trepidi, unusquisque in iniquitate sua.
But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.
17 Omnes manus dissolventur, et omnia genua fluent aquis.
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 Et accingent se ciliciis, et operiet eos formido: et in omni facie confusio, et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium.
They shall also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
19 Argentum eorum foras projicietur, et aurum eorum in sterquilinium erit: argentum eorum et aurum eorum non valebit liberare eos in die furoris Domini: animam suam non saturabunt, et ventres eorum non implebuntur, quia scandalum iniquitatis eorum factum est.
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
20 Et ornamentum monilium suorum in superbiam posuerunt, et imagines abominationum suarum et simulacrorum fecerunt ex eo: propter hoc dedi eis illud in immunditiam.
As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things. Therefore I will render it an unclean thing to them.
21 Et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum, et impiis terræ in prædam, et contaminabunt illud.
I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
22 Et avertam faciem meam ab eis, et violabunt arcanum meum: et introibunt in illud emissarii, et contaminabunt illud.
My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
23 Fac conclusionem, quoniam terra plena est judicio sanguinum, et civitas plena iniquitate.
"Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24 Et adducam pessimos de gentibus, et possidebunt domos eorum: et quiescere faciam superbiam potentium, et possidebunt sanctuaria eorum.
Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.
25 Angustia superveniente, requirent pacem, et non erit.
Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Conturbatio super conturbationem veniet, et auditus super auditum: et quærent visionem de propheta, et lex peribit a sacerdote, et consilium a senioribus.
Disaster shall come upon disaster, and rumor shall follow rumor; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27 Rex lugebit, et princeps induetur mœrore, et manus populi terræ conturbabuntur: secundum viam eorum faciam eis, et secundum judicia eorum judicabo eos, et scient quia ego Dominus.]
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
