Hiezechielis Prophetæ 16
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis notas fac Ierusalem abominationes suas:
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Ierusalem: Radix tua, et generatio tua de terra Chanaan: pater tuus Amorrhæus, et mater tua Cethæa.
and say, Thus says the lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is from the land of the Canaanite. The Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite.
4 Et quando nata es in die ortus tui non est præcisus umbilicus tuus, et aqua non es lota in salutem, nec sale salita, nec involuta pannis.
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou were born thy navel was not cut, nor were thou washed in water to cleanse thee. Thou were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Non pepercit super te oculus ut faceret tibi unum de his, misertus tui: sed proiecta es super faciem terræ in abiectione animæ tuæ, in die qua nata es.
No eye pitied thee, to do any of these things to thee, to have compassion upon thee, but thou were cast out in the open field. For thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou were born.
6 Transiens autem per te, vidi te conculcari in sanguine tuo. Et dixi tibi cum esses in sanguine tuo: Vive: dixi, inquam, tibi in sanguine tuo: Vive.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said to thee, in thy blood, Live! Yea, I said to thee, in thy blood, Live!
7 Multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te: et multiplicata es, et grandis effecta, et ingressa es, et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem: ubera tua intumuerunt, et pilus tuus germinavit: et eras nuda, et confusione plena.
I caused thee to multiply as that which grows in the field, and thou increased and grew great. And thou attained to excellent ornament, thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown. Yet thou were naked and bare.
8 Et transivi per te, et vidi te: et ecce tempus tuum, tempus amantium: et expandi amictum meum super te, et operui ignominiam tuam. Et iuravi tibi, et ingressus sum pactum tecum: ait Dominus Deus: et facta es mihi.
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love. And I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness. Yea, I swore to thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, says the lord Jehovah, and thou became mine.
9 Et lavi te aqua, et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te: et unxi te oleo.
Then I washed thee with water. Yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 Et vestivi te discoloribus, et calceavi te ianthino: et cinxi te bysso, et indui te subtilibus.
I also clothed thee with embroidered work, and shod thee with a certain skin. And I girded thee around with fine linen, and covered thee with silk.
11 Et ornavi te ornamento, et dedi armillas in manibus tuis, et torquem circa collum tuum.
And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 Et dedi inaurem super os tuum, et circulos auribus tuis, et coronam decoris in capite tuo.
And I put a ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
13 Et ornata es auro, et argento, et vestita es bysso, et polymito, et multicoloribus: similam, et mel, et oleum comedisti, et decora facta es vehementer nimis: et profecisti in regnum.
Thus thou were decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work. Thou ate fine flour, and honey, and oil. And thou were very beautiful, and thou prospered to royalty.
14 Et egressum est nomen tuum in Gentes propter speciem tuam: quia perfecta eras in decore meo, quem posueram super te, dicit Dominus Deus.
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty. For it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put upon thee, says the lord Jehovah.
15 Et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua fornicata es in nomine tuo: et exposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti ut eius fieres.
But thou trusted in thy beauty, and played the harlot because of thy renown, and poured out thy whoredoms on everyone who passed by; his it was.
16 Et sumens de vestimentis tuis fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta: et fornicata es super eis, sicut non est factum, neque futurum est.
And thou took of thy garments, and made high places for thee, decked with various colors, and played the harlot upon them, things which should not come, nor should it be.
17 Et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo, atque argento meo, quæ dedi tibi: et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas, et fornicata es in eis.
Thou also took thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and made for thee images of men, and played the harlot with them.
18 Et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria, et operuisti illas: et oleum meum, et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis.
And thou took thy embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 Et panem meum, quem dedi tibi, similam, et oleum, et mel, quibus enutrivi te, posuisti in conspectu eorum in odorem suavitatis, et factum est, ait Dominus Deus.
My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour and oil and honey, with which I fed thee, thou even set it before them for a sweet savor, and thus it was, says the lord Jehovah.
20 Et tulisti filios tuos, et filias tuas, quas generasti mihi: et immolasti eis ad devorandum. Numquid parva est fornicatio tua?
Moreover thou have taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou have borne to me, and thou have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,
21 Immolasti filios meos, et dedisti, illos consecrans, eis.
that thou have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 Et post omnes abominationes tuas, et fornicationes, non es recordata dierum adolescentiæ tuæ, quando eras nuda, et confusione plena, conculcata in sanguine tuo.
And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou have not remembered the days of thy youth when thou were naked and bare, and were weltering in thy blood.
23 Et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam (væ, væ tibi, ait Dominus Deus)
And it has come to pass according to all thy wickedness, (woe, woe to thee! says the lord Jehovah),
24 et ædificasti tibi lupanar, et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis.
that thou have built thyself a vaulted place, and have made thee a lofty place in every street.
25 Ad omne caput viæ ædificasti signum prostitutionis tuæ: et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum: et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti, et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas.
Thou have built thy lofty place at the head of every way, and have made thy beauty an abomination. And have opened thy feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom.
26 Et fornicata es cum filiis Ægypti vicinis tuis magnarum carnium: et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad irritandum me.
Thou have also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, great of flesh, and have multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger.
27 Ecce ego extendam manum meam super te, et auferam iustificationem tuam: et dabo te in animas odientium te filiarum Palæstinarum, quæ erubescunt in via tua scelerata.
Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thy portion, and delivered thee to the will of those who hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 Et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum, eo quod necdum fueris expleta: et postquam fornicata es, nec sic es satiata.
Thou have played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou were insatiable. Yea, thou have played the harlot with them, and yet thou were not satisfied.
29 Et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in Terra Chanaan cum Chaldæis: et nec sic satiata es.
Thou have moreover multiplied thy whoredom to the land of traffic, to Chaldea, and yet thou were not satisfied with this.
30 In quo mundabo cor tuum, ait Dominus Deus; cum facias omnia hæc opera mulieris meretricis, et procacis?
How weak is thy heart, says the lord Jehovah, seeing thou do all these things, the work of an impudent harlot,
31 Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viæ, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea: nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium,
in that thou build thy vaulted place at the head of every way, and make thy lofty place in every street. And have not even been as a harlot, in that thou scorn hire.
32 sed quasi mulier adultera, quæ super virum suum inducit alienos.
A wife who commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 Omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes: tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis, et dona donabas eis ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum.
They give gifts to all harlots, but thou give thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to thee on every side for thy whoredoms.
34 Factumque est in te contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis, et post te non erit fornicatio: in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes, et mercedes non accepisti, factum est in te contrarium.
And thou are different from other women in thy whoredoms, in that none follows thee to play the harlot. And whereas thou give a wage, and no wage is given to thee, therefore thou are different.
35 Propterea meretrix audi verbum Domini.
Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah.
36 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia effusum est æs tuum, et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis super amatores tuos, et super idola abominationum tuarum in sanguine filiorum tuorum, quos dedisti eis:
Thus says the lord Jehovah: Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy sons, that thou gave to them,
37 Ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos, quibus commista es, et omnes, quos dilexisti cum universis, quos oderas: et congregabo eos super te undique, et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis, et videbunt omnem turpitudinem tuam.
therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou have taken pleasure, and all those whom thou have loved, with all those whom thou have hated, I will even gather them against thee on every side. And I will uncover thy nakedness to them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 Et iudicabo te iudiciis adulterarum, et effundentium sanguinem: et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli.
And I will judge thee, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged. And I will bring upon thee the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 Et dabo te in manus eorum, et destruent lupanar tuum: et demolientur prostibulum tuum: et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et auferent vasa decoris tui: et derelinquent te nudam, plenamque ignominia:
I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy vaulted place, and break down thy lofty places. And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels, and they shall leave thee naked and bare.
40 et adducent super te multitudinem, et lapidabunt te lapidibus, et trucidabunt te gladiis suis.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
41 Et comburent domos tuas igni, et facient in te iudicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum: et desines fornicari, et mercedes ultra non dabis.
And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women. And I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shall also give no wage any more.
42 Et requiescet indignatio mea in te: et auferetur zelus meus a te, et quiescam, nec irascar amplius.
So I will cause my wrath toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will no more be angry.
43 Eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adolescentiæ tuæ, et provocasti me in omnibus his: quapropter et ego vias tuas in capite tuo dedi, ait Dominus Deus, et non feci iuxta scelera tua in omnibus abominationibus tuis.
Because thou have not remembered the days of thy youth, but have raged against me in all these things, therefore, behold, I also will bring thy way upon thy head, says the lord Jehovah. And thou shall not commit this lewdness with all thine abominations.
44 Ecce omnis, qui dicit vulgo proverbium, in te assumet illud, dicens: Sicut mater, ita et filia eius.
Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Filia matris tuæ es tu, quæ proiecit virum suum, et filios suos: et soror sororum tuarum es tu, quæ proiecerunt viros suos, et filios suos: mater vestra Cethæa, et pater vester Amorrhæus.
Thou are the daughter of thy mother, who loathes her husband and her sons. And thou are the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their sons. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Et soror tua maior, Samaria, ipsa et filiæ eius, quæ habitant ad sinistram tuam: soror autem tua minor te, quæ habitat a dextris tuis, Sodoma, et filiæ eius.
And thine elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at thy left hand, she and her daughters. And thy younger sister, who dwells at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Sed nec in viis earum ambulasti, neque secundum scelera earum fecisti pauxillum minus: pene sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis.
Yet thou have not walked in their ways, nor done according to their abominations, but, like it was a very little thing, thou were more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
48 Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua ipsa, et filiæ eius, sicut fecisti tu, et filiæ tuæ.
As I live, says the lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as thou have done, thou and thy daughters.
49 Ecce hæc fuit iniquitas Sodomæ sororis tuæ, superbia, saturitas panis et abundantia, et otium ipsius, et filiarum eius: et manum egeno, et pauperi non porrigebant.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters, and she did not strengthen the hand of a poor and needy man.
50 Et elevatæ sunt, et fecerunt abominationes coram me: et abstuli eas sicut vidisti.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away as I saw fit.
51 Et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum non peccavit: sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis, et iustificasti sorores tuas in omnibus abominationibus tuis, quas operata es.
Neither has Samaria committed half of thy sins, but thou have multiplied thine abominations more than they, and have justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou have done.
52 Ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam, quæ vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis, scelerantius agens ab eis: iustificatæ sunt enim a te: ergo et tu confundere, et porta ignominiam tuam, quæ iustificasti sorores tuas.
Thou also, bear thou thine own shame, in that thou have given judgment for thy sisters, through thy sins that thou have committed more abominable than they. They are more righteous than thou. Yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou have justified thy sisters.
53 Et convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis, et conversione Samariæ, et filiarum eius: et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum,
And I will turn back again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them,
54 ut portes ignominiam tuam, et confundaris in omnibus, quæ fecisti consolans eas.
that thou may bear thine own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that thou have done, in that thou are a comfort to them.
55 Et soror tua Sodoma, et filiæ eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et Samaria, et filiæ eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et tu, et filiæ tuæ revertemini ad antiquitatem vestram.
And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo, in die superbiæ tuæ,
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
57 antequam revelaretur malitia tua: sicut hoc tempore in opprobrium filiarum Syriæ, et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palæstinarum, quæ ambiunt te per gyrum.
before thy wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to thee round about.
58 Scelus tuum, et ignominiam tuam tu portasti, ait Dominus Deus.
Thou have borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, says Jehovah.
59 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et faciam tibi sicut despexisti iuramentum, ut irritum faceres pactum:
For thus says the lord Jehovah: I will also deal with thee as thou have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adolescentiæ tuæ: et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant.
61 Et recordaberis viarum tuarum, et confunderis: cum receperis sorores tuas te maiores cum minoribus tuis: et dabo eas tibi in filias, sed non ex pacto tuo.
Then thou shall remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shall receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger, and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
62 Et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum: et scies quia ego Dominus,
And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shall know that I am Jehovah,
63 ut recorderis, et confundaris, et non sit tibi ultra aperire os præ confusione tua, cum placatus tibi fuero in omnibus, quæ fecisti, ait Dominus Deus.
that thou may remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou have done, says the lord Jehovah.
