Hiezechielis Prophetæ 12
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Fili hominis in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas: qui oculos habent ad videndum, et non vident: et aures ad audiendum, et non audiunt: quia domus exasperans est.
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house; they have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
3 Tu ergo fili hominis, fac tibi vasa transmigrationis, et transmigrabis per diem coram eis: transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum, si forte aspiciant: quia domus exasperans est.
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing from the land; and remove by day in their sight, and remove from thy place to another place before their eyes. It may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
4 Et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum: tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
And carry forth thy stuff, as stuff for removing, by day in their sight, and go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5 Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem: et egredieris per eum.
Before their eyes break thou through the wall, and carry forth thereby.
6 In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis, in caligine effereris: faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram. quia portentum dedi te domui Israel.
In their sight bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight. Cover thy face, so that thou see not the ground; for I have made thee a sign to the house of Israel.
7 Feci ergo sicut præceperat mihi Dominus: vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem: et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu: et in caligine egressus sum, in humeris portatus in conspectu eorum.
And I did as I was commanded, I carried forth my stuff, as stuff for removing from the land, by day; and in the evening I broke through the wall with my hand; I carried it forth in the twilight; I took it upon my shoulder before their eyes.
8 Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came to me in the morning, and said:
9 Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israel, domus exasperans: Quid tu facis?
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, “What doest thou?”
10 Dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Ierusalem, et super omnem domum Israel, quæ est in medio eorum.
Say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that is therein.
11 Dic: Ego portentum vestrum: quomodo feci, sic fiet illis. in transmigrationem, et in captivitatem ibunt.
Say, I am your sign. As I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall remove and go into captivity.
12 Et dux, qui est in medio eorum, in humeris portabitur, in caligine egredietur: parietem perfodient ut educant eum: facies eius operietur ut non videat oculo terram.
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth. They shall break through the wall to carry forth thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
13 Et extendam rete meum super eum, et capietur in sagena mea: et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldæorum: et ipsam non videbit, ibique morietur.
I will also spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldaeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
14 Et omnes, qui circa eum sunt, præsidium eius, et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum: et gladium evaginabo post eos.
And all that are round about him to help him, and all his bands, will I scatter to every wind; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15 Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in Gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them in the countries.
16 Et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio, et fame, et pestilentia: ut enarrent omnia scelera eorum in Gentibus, ad quas ingredientur: et scient quia ego Dominus.
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen, whither they come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
17 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
18 Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede: sed et aquam tuam in festinatione, et mœrore bibe.
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
19 Et dices ad populum terræ: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad eos, qui habitant in Ierusalem in terra Israel: Panem suum in solicitudine comedent, et aquam suam in desolatione bibent: ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua, propter iniquitatem omnium, qui habitant in ea.
and say to the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel; their bread shall they eat with carefulness, and their water shall they drink with astonishment; that their land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of them that dwell in it.
20 Et civitates, quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
21 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
22 Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israel? dicentium: In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio.
Son of man, what meaneth that proverb which ye have in the land of Israel, saying, “The days are delayed, and every vision faileth”?
23 Ideo dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quiescere faciam proverbium istud, neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israel: et loquere ad eos quod appropinquaverint dies, et sermo omnis visionis.
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel. But say to them, The days are at hand, and what is declared in every vision.
24 Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israel.
For there shall be no longer any vain vision or deceptive divination within the house of Israel.
25 Quia ego Dominus loquar: et quodcumque locutus fuero verbum, fiet, et non prolongabitur amplius: sed in diebus vestris domus exasperans loquar verbum, et faciam illud, dicit Dominus Deus.
For I am Jehovah; I speak, and the word which I speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be delayed. In your own days, ye rebellious house, will I speak the word and perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
26 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
27 Fili hominis, ecce domus Israel dicentium: Visio, quam hic videt, in dies multos: et in tempora longa iste prophetat.
Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, “The vision which he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.”
28 Propterea dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus: verbum, quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more; what I speak shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
