Hiezechielis Prophetæ 11
1 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 Iezoniam filium Azur, et Pheltiam filium Banaiæ, principes populi.
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looketh eastward; and behold, at the door of the gate were five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 Dixitque ad me: Fili hominis, hi sunt viri, qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,
And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and give wicked counsel in this city:
3 dicentes: Nonne dudum ædificatæ sunt domus? Hæc est lebes, nos autem carnes.
who say, It is not the time to build houses: this is the cauldron, and we are the flesh.
4 Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare fili hominis.
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.
5 Et irruit in me Spiritus Domini, et dixit ad me: Loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus: Sic locuti estis domus Israel, et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi.
And the Spirit of Jehovah fell on me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; and the things that come into your mind, I know them.
6 Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias eius interfectis.
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Interfecti vestri, quos posuistis in medio eius, hi sunt carnes, et hæc est lebes: et educam vos de medio eius.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and it is the cauldron; but you will I bring forth out of the midst of it.
8 Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.
Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
9 Et eiiciam vos de medio eius, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis iudicia.
And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and give you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 Gladio cadetis: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the borders of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
11 Hæc non erit vobis in lebetem, et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos.
This shall not be your cauldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it: I will judge you in the borders of Israel;
12 Et scietis quia ego Dominus: quia in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et iudicia mea non fecistis, sed iuxta iudicia Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, estis operati.
and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, in whose statutes ye have not walked, neither have done mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
13 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 Israel?
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. And I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
15 Fili hominis, fratres tui, fratres tui, viri propinqui tui, et omnis domus Israel, universi, quibus dixerunt habitatores Ierusalem: Longe recedite a Domino, nobis data est terra in possessionem.
Son of man, [it is] thy brethren, thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, the whole of it, unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, Get you far from Jehovah: unto us is this land given for a possession.
16 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.
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
17 Propterea loquere: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Congregabo vos de populis, et adunabo de terris, in quibus dispersi estis, daboque vobis humum Israel.
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 Et ingredientur illuc, et auferent omnes offensiones, cunctasque abominationes eius de illa.
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away from thence all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19 Et dabo eis cor unum, et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum: et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum, et dabo eis cor carneum:
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
20 Ut in præceptis meis ambulent, et iudicia mea custodiant, faciantque ea: et sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum.
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21 Quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat, horum viam in capite suo ponam, dicit Dominus Deus.
But as for them whose heart walketh well-pleased with their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
22 Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotæ cum eis: et gloria Dei Israel erat super ea.
And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis, stetitque super montem, qui est ad Orientem urbis.
And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 Et Spiritus levavit me, adduxitque in Chaldæam ad transmigrationem, in visione in Spiritu Dei: et sublata est a me visio, quam videram.
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity; and the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 Et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini, quæ ostenderat mihi.
And I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shewn me.
