Hiezechielis Prophetæ 36
1 Tu autem fili hominis propheta super montes Israel, et dices: Montes Israel audite verbum Domini:
"You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah.
2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis: Euge, altitudines sempiternæ in hereditatem datæ sunt nobis:
Thus says Jehovah: "Because the enemy has said against you, 'Aha.' and, 'The ancient high places are ours in possession'"';
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 Jehovah: "Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people";
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 Jehovah: "Thus says Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
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 Jehovah: 'Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.'"'
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 tell the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Look, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
7 Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ego levavi manum meam ut Gentes, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsæ confusionem suam portent.
therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: 'I have sworn, saying, "Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame."
8 Vos autem montes Israel ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israel: prope enim est ut veniat:
"'"'But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
9 Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos, et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.
For, look, I am for you, and I will turn into 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 on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built;
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 on you man and animal; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
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.
Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.'"
13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis: Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam:
"'Thus says Jehovah: "Because they say to you, 'You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation';
14 Propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus:
therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation any more," says Jehovah;
15 Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem Gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis, et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.
"neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shall you cause your nation to stumble any more," says Jehovah.'"
16 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
Moreover the word of Jehovah 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, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
18 Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine, quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.
Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
19 Et dispersi eos in Gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras: iuxta vias eorum, et adinventiones eorum iudicavi eos.
and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
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.
When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, 'These are the people of Jehovah, and are gone forth out of his land.'
21 Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israel in Gentibus, ad quas ingressi sunt.
But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where 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 tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says Jehovah: "I do not do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where 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:
I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah when I magnify myself among you before their eyes.
24 Tollam quippe vos de Gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.
For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, 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.
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I 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 also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I 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.
I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
28 Et habitabitis in terra, quam dedi patribus vestris: et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris: et vocabo frumentum, et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.
I will save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
30 Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in Gentibus.
I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
31 Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum: et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ, et scelera vestra.
Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis: confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israel.
Nor for your sake do I this," says Jehovah, "be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, 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 Jehovah: 'In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
34 et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,
The land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
35 dicent: Terra illa inculta, facta est ut hortus voluptatis: et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.
They shall say, "This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited."
36 Et scient Gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta, ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.
Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, Jehovah, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I 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 Jehovah: 'For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Ierusalem in sollemnitatibus eius: Sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum: et scient quia ego Dominus.
As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
