Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, you, son of man, say,
2 Et tu fili hominis, hæc dicit Dominus Deus terræ Israel: Finis venit, venit finis super quattuor plagas terræ.
Thus says the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.
3 Nunc finis super te, et immittam furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas: et ponam contra te omnes abominationes tuas.
The end is come on you,
4 Et non parcet oculus meus super te, et non miserebor: sed vias tuas ponam super te, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn near, not with tumult, nor with pangs.
5 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Afflictio una, afflictio ecce venit.
Now I will pour out my anger upon you near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on you: and I will judge you for your ways, and recompense upon you all your abominations.
6 Finis venit, venit finis, evigilavit adversum te: ecce venit.
Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike [you].
7 Venit contritio super te, qui habitas in terra: venit tempus, prope est dies occisionis, et non gloriæ montium.
Now the end [is come] to you, and I will send [judgment] upon you: and I will take vengeance on your ways, and will recompense all your abominations upon you.
8 Nunc de propinquo effundam iram meam super te, et complebo furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas, et imponam tibi omnia scelera tua:
Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your way upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 Et non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor, sed vias tuas imponam tibi, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus percutiens.
For thus says the Lord; Behold, the end is come.
10 Ecce dies, ecce venit: egressa est contritio, floruit virga, germinavit superbia:
Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,
11 Iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis: non ex eis, et non ex populo, neque ex sonitu eorum: et non erit requies in eis.
pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and [that] not with tumult, nor with haste.
12 Venit tempus, appropinquavit dies: qui emit, non lætetur: et qui vendit, non lugeat: quia ira super omnem populum eius.
The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.
13 Quia qui vendit, ad id, quod vendidit, non revertetur, et adhuc in viventibus vita eorum. Visio enim ad omnem multitudinem eius non regredietur: et vir in iniquitate vitæ suæ non confortabitur.
For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye [of hope] to his life.
14 Canite tuba, præparentur omnes, et non est qui vadat ad prælium: ira enim mea super universum populum eius.
Sound you the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.
15 Gladium foris: et pestis, et fames intrinsecus: qui in agro est, gladio morietur: et qui in civitate, pestilentia, et fame devorabuntur.
[There shall be] war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.
16 Et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis: et erunt in montibus quasi columbæ convallium omnes trepidi, unusquisque in iniquitate sua.
But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will kill all [the rest], every one for his iniquities.
17 Omnes manus dissolventur, et omnia genua fluent aquis.
All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.
18 Et accingent se ciliciis, et operiet eos formido, et in omni facie confusio, et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium.
And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head.
19 Argentum eorum foras proiicietur, et aurum eorum in sterquilinium erit. Argentum eorum, et aurum eorum non valebit liberare eos in die furoris Domini. Animam suam non saturabunt, et ventres eorum non implebuntur: quia scandalum iniquitatis eorum factum est.
Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.
20 Et ornamentum monilium suorum in superbiam posuerunt, et imagines abominationum suarum, et simulachrorum fecerunt ex eo: propter hoc dedi eis illud in immunditiam:
[As for] their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.
21 et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum, et impiis terræ in prædam, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.
22 Et avertam faciem meam ab eis, et violabunt arcanum meum: et introibunt in illud emissarii, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.
23 Fac conclusionem: quoniam terra plena est iudicio sanguinum, et civitas plena iniquitate.
And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.
24 Et adducam pessimos de Gentibus, et possidebunt domos eorum. Et quiescere faciam superbiam potentium, et possidebunt sanctuaria eorum.
And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.
25 Angustia superveniente, requirent pacem, et non erit.
And [though] propitiation shall come, and [one] shall seek peace, yet there shall be none.
26 Conturbatio super conturbationem veniet, et auditus super auditum: et quærent visionem de propheta, et lex peribit a sacerdote, et consilium a senioribus.
There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27 Rex lugebit, et princeps induetur mœrore, et manus populi terræ conturbabuntur. Secundum viam eorum faciam eis, et secundum iudicia eorum iudicabo eos: et scient quia ego Dominus.
The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
