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 lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east, and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.
2 Dixitque ad me: Fili hominis, hi sunt viri, qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
3 dicentes: Nonne dudum ædificatæ sunt domus? Hæc est lebes, nos autem carnes.
who are saying, It [is] not near — to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we the flesh.
4 Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare fili hominis.
Therefore prophesy concerning 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 fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, 'Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.
6 Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias eius interfectis.
Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.
8 Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.
A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
9 Et eiiciam vos de medio eius, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis iudicia.
And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments.
10 Gladio cadetis: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known 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.
It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.
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 have known that I [am] Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you — ye have done!'
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 cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry — a loud voice — and say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making of the remnant of Israel.'
14 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah 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, thy brethren, thy brethren, men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel — all of it, [are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from Jehovah;
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.
it [is] ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of Israel.
18 Et ingredientur illuc, et auferent omnes offensiones, cunctasque abominationes eius de illa.
And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations — out of it.
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 have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to 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.
So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.
21 Quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat, horum viam in capite suo ponam, dicit Dominus Deus.
As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
22 Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotæ cum eis: et gloria Dei Israel erat super ea.
And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] over them above.
23 Et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis, stetitque super montem, qui est ad Orientem urbis.
And the honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of the city, and standeth on the mountain, that [is] on the east 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 a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God, and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen;
25 Et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini, quæ ostenderat mihi.
and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah that He hath shewed me.
