Hiezechielis Prophetæ 2

1 Hæc visio similitudinis gloriæ Domini. Et vidi, et cecidi in faciem meam, et audivi vocem loquentis. Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis sta super pedes tuos, et loquar tecum.

This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you.

2 Et ingressus est in me Spiritus postquam locutus est mihi, et statuit me supra pedes meos: et audivi loquentem ad me,

And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.

3 et dicentem: Fili hominis, mitto ego te ad filios Israel, ad gentes apostatrices, quæ recesserunt a me: ipsi et patres eorum prævaricati sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc.

And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.

4 Et filii dura facie, et indomabili corde sunt, ad quos ego mitto te: et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:

And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.

5 Si forte vel ipsi audiant, et si forte quiescant, quoniam domus exasperans est: et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum.

Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.

6 Tu ergo fili hominis ne timeas eos, neque sermones eorum metuas: quoniam increduli, et subversores sunt tecum, et cum scorpionibus habitas. Verba eorum ne timeas, et vultus eorum ne formides: quia domus exasperans est.

And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.

7 Loqueris ergo verba mea ad eos, si forte audiant, et quiescant: quoniam irritatores sunt.

And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.

8 Tu autem fili hominis audi quæcumque loquor ad te: et noli esse exasperans sicut domus exasperatrix est: aperi os tuum et comede quæcumque ego do tibi.

And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.

9 Et vidi, et ecce manus missa ad me, in qua erat involutus liber:

And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.

10 et expandit illum coram me, qui erat scriptus intus, et foris: et scriptæ erant in eo lamentationes, et carmen, et væ.

And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
