Hiezechielis Prophetæ 13
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
2 Fili hominis, vaticinare ad prophetas Israel, qui prophetant: et dices prophetantibus de corde suo: Audite verbum Domini.
Son of man. prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, —and say unto them who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Yahweh,
3 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ prophetis insipientibus, qui sequuntur spiritum suum, et nihil vident.
Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Alas for the base prophets, —who follow their own spirit and have seen, nothing.
4 Quasi vulpes in desertis, prophetæ tui Israel erant.
As jackals, among ruins, thy prophets O Israel have been.
5 Non ascendistis ex adverso, neque opposuistis murum pro domo Israel, ut staretis in prælio in die Domini.
Ye have not gone up into the breaches, Nor built a wall about the house of Israel, - to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.
6 Vident vana, et divinant mendacium, dicentes: Ait Dominus: cum Dominus non miserit eos: et perseveraverunt confirmare sermonem.
They have had Visions of falsehood, and Divinations of lies, Who say. Declareth Yahweh, when, Yahweh, hath not sent them, — Yet have they waited for a fulfilling of the word.
7 Numquid non visionem cassam vidistis, et divinationem mendacem locuti estis? et dicitis, ait Dominus: cum ego non sim locutus.
Is it not a Vision of falsehood, ye have seen, and a Divination of lies, ye have spoken, Since ye are saying. Declareth Yahweh! when I have not spoken?
8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia locuti estis vana, et vidistis mendacium: ideo ecce ego ad vos, dicit Dominus Deus:
Therefore Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye have spoken falsehood, And have had visions of lies, Therefore behold me! against you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
9 Et erit manus mea super prophetas, qui vident vana, et divinant mendacium: in consilio populi mei non erunt, et in scriptura domus Israel non scribentur, nec in terram Israel ingredientur: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus:
So then my hand shall be against the prophets who have Visions of falsehood and who divine Divinations of lies— In the council of my people, shall they not be found. And in the register of the house of Israel, shall they not be written, And Upon the so of Israel, shall they not enter, — So shall ye know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh,
10 Eo quod deceperint populum meum, dicentes: Pax, et non est pax: et ipse ædificabat parietem, illi autem liniebant eum luto absque paleis.
Because, yea, even because, they have led astray my people saying. Prosperity! when there was no prosperity, —and one man, was building a partition wall, when there they were! eating it with whitewash
11 Dic ad eos, qui liniunt absque temperatura, quod casurus sit: erit enim imber inundans, et dabo lapides prægrandes desuper irruentes, et ventum procellæ dissipantem.
Say thou unto them who are coating with whitewash It shall fall, - There hath come an overflowing rain And I will make hail-stones fall, And a tempestuous wind shall break it down.
12 Siquidem ecce cecidit paries: numquid non dicetur vobis: Ubi est litura, quam linistis?
Lo! when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the coating, wherewith ye coated it?
13 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea, et imber inundans in furore meo erit: et lapides grandes in ira in consumptionem.
Therefore Thus saith my Lord, Yahweh, So will I break down with a tempestuous wind. in mine indignation, — And an overflowing rain in mine anger, shall there be, With hailstones in wrath to make an end;
14 Et destruam parietem, quem linistis absque temperamento: et adæquabo eum terræ, et revelabitur fundamentum eius: et cadet, et consumetur in medio eius: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus.
And I will pull down the wall which ye have coated with whitewash And will bring it unto the ground So shall be discovered its foundation, Yea it shall fall And ye shall come to an end in the midst thereof, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
15 Et complebo indignationem meam in pariete, et in his, qui liniunt eum absque temperamento, dicamque vobis: Non est paries, et non sunt qui liniunt eum.
Thus will I bring to an end mine indignation against the wall, and against them who were coating it with whitewash, And will say to you No more is the wall, And no more are they who were coating it:
16 Prophetæ Israel, qui prophetant ad Ierusalem, et vident ei visionem pacis: et non est pax, ait Dominus Deus.
to wit the prophets of Israel who are prophesying unto Jerusalem, and are seeing, on her behalf, visions of prosperity, — when there is no prosperity, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
17 Et tu fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui, quæ prophetant de corde suo: et vaticinare super eas,
And thou, Son of man Set thy face against the daughters of thy people, Those who are prophesying out of their own heart, — And prophesy thou against them;
18 et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ quæ consuunt pulvillos sub omni cubito manus: et faciunt cervicalia sub capite universæ ætatis ad capiendas animas: et cum caperent animas populi mei, vivificabant animas eorum.
and say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Alas! for the women Who sew oracle, cases on all elbows And prepare wraps upon the head of every stature to hunt souls, — the souls ye hunt, are those of my people, Whereas your own souls: , ye keep alive.
19 Et violabant me ad populum meum propter pugillum hordei, et fragmen panis, ut interficerent animas, quæ non moriuntur, et vivificarent animas, quæ non vivunt, mentientes populo meo credenti mendaciis.
Thus have ye profaned me unto my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, Putting to death the souls that should not die, and Keeping alive the souls that should not live, — By your lying to my people, who hearken to lies
20 Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad pulvillos vestros, quibus vos capitis animas volantes: et dirumpam eos de brachiis vestris: et dimittam animas, quas vos capitis, animas ad volandum.
Therefore, Thus saith my Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against your oracle-cases wherewith ye are hunting the souls to make them fly, And I will tear them off your arms, And let go the souls of them whose souls ye are hunting as birds;
21 Et dirumpam cervicalia vestra, et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra, neque erunt ultra in manibus vestris ad prædandum: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
And will tear off your wraps, And deliver my people out of your hand, And they shall be no longer in your hand to be hunted; - So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
22 Pro eo quod mœrere fecistis cor iusti mendaciter, quem ego non contristavi: et confortastis manus impii, ut non reverteretur a via sua mala, et viveret:
Because of the paining of the heart of the righteous man with falsehood, whom, I, have not pained, — And strengthening the hands of the lawless man, that he should not turn from his wicked way. by letting him live
23 propterea vana non videbitis, et divinationes non divinabitis amplius, et eruam populum meum de manu vestra: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
Therefore—of falsehood: , shall ye have no vision, And a divination: , shall ye not divine any more, — So will I deliver my people out of your hand, And ye shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
