Hiezechielis Prophetæ 36
1 Tu autem fili hominis propheta super montes Israel, et dices: Montes Israel, audite verbum Domini:
And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear you the word of the Lord:
2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis: Euge, altitudines sempiternæ in hereditatem datæ sunt nobis:
Thus says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us:
3 propterea vaticinare, et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, et facti in hereditatem reliquis gentibus, et ascendistis super labium linguæ, et opprobrium populi:
therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have been dishonored, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations:
4 propterea montes Israel audite verbum Domini Dei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus, et collibus, torrentibus, vallibusque et desertis, parietinis, et urbibus derelictis, quæ depopulatæ sunt, et subsannatæ a reliquis gentibus per circuitum.
therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about;
5 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis Gentibus, et de Idumæa universa, quæ dederunt terram meam sibi in hereditatem cum gaudio, et toto corde, et ex animo: et eiecerunt eam ut vastarent:
therefore, thus says the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of the inhabitants], to destroy [it] by plunder:
6 idcirco vaticinare super humum Israel, et dices montibus, et collibus, iugis, et vallibus: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego in zelo meo, et in furore meo locutus sum, eo quod confusionem Gentium sustinueritis.
therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen:
7 Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ego levavi manum meam ut Gentes, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsæ confusionem suam portent.
therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.
8 Vos autem montes Israel ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israel: prope enim est ut veniat:
But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come.
9 Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos, et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.
For, behold, I am toward you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall be tilled and sown:
10 Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israel: et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur.
and I will multiply men upon you, [even] all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.
11 Et replebo vos hominibus, et iumentis: et multiplicabuntur, et crescent: et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, bonisque donabo maioribus, quam habuistis ab initio: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former [times]: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
12 Et adducam super vos homines populum meum Israel, et hereditate possidebunt te: et eris eis in hereditatem, et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis.
And I will increase men upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.
13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis: Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam:
Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You [land] devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;
14 Propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus:
therefore you shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says the Lord God.
15 Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem Gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis, et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.
And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.
16 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 Fili hominis domus Israel habitaverunt in humo sua, et polluerunt eam in viis suis, et in studiis suis iuxta immunditiam menstruatæ facta est via eorum coram me.
Son of man, the house of Israel lived upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18 Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine, quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.
So I poured out my wrath upon them:
19 Et dispersi eos in Gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras: iuxta vias eorum, et adinventiones eorum iudicavi eos.
and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.
20 Et ingressi sunt ad Gentes, ad quas introierunt, et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, cum diceretur de eis: Populus Domini iste est, et de terra eius egressi sunt.
And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land.
21 Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israel in Gentibus, ad quas ingressi sunt.
But I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.
22 Idcirco dices domui Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israel, sed propter nomen sanctum meum, quod polluistis in Gentibus, ad quas intrastis.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom you went.
23 Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum, quod pollutum est inter Gentes, quod polluistis in medio earum: ut sciant Gentes quia ego Dominus, ait Dominus exercituum, cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis:
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes.
24 Tollam quippe vos de Gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.
And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land:
25 Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos.
and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.
26 Et dabo vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri: et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, et dabo vobis cor carneum.
And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
27 Et Spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri: et faciam ut in præceptis meis ambuletis, et iudicia mea custodiatis, et operemini.
And I will put my Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgments, and do [them].
28 Et habitabitis in terra, quam dedi patribus vestris: et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.
29 Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris: et vocabo frumentum, et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you.
30 Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in gentibus.
And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine among the nations.
31 Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum: et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ, et scelera vestra.
And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations.
32 Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis: confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israel.
Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you: be you ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die, qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et inhabitari fecero urbes, et instauravero ruinosa,
Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon:
34 et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,
and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by.
35 dicent: Terra illa inculta, facta est ut hortus voluptatis: et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.
And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.
36 Et scient Gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta, ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.
And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted the waste [lands]: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
37 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israel, ut faciam eis: Multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum,
Thus says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;
38 ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Ierusalem in sollemnitatibus eius: Sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum: et scient quia ego Dominus.
as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
