Hiezechielis Prophetæ 11
1 Et elevavit me spiritus, et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem, quae respicit ad solis ortum: et ecce in introitu portae viginti quinque viri: et vidi in medio eorum Iezoniam filium Azur, et Pheltiam filium Banaiae, principes populi.
Then a spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward; and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 Dixitque ad me: Fili hominis, hi sunt viri, qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,
And He said unto me: 'Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;
3 dicentes: Nonne dudum aedificatae sunt domus? haec est lebes, nos autem carnes.
that say: The time is not near to build houses! this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
4 Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare fili hominis.
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.'
5 Et irruit in me spiritus Domini, et dixit ad me: Loquere: Haec dicit Dominus: Sic locuti estis domus Israel, et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi.
And the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said unto me: 'Speak: Thus saith the LORD: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias eius interfectis.
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Interfecti vestri, quos posuistis in medio eius, hi sunt carnes, et haec est lebes: et educam vos de medio eius.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
8 Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.
Ye have feared the sword; and the sword will I bring upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Et eiiciam vos de medio eius, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis iudicia.
And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 Gladio cadetis: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
Ye shall fall by the sword: I will judge you upon the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
11 Haec non erit vobis in lebetem, et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes: in finibus Israel iudicabo vos.
Though this city shall not be your caldron, ye shall be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you upon the border of Israel;
12 Et scietis quia ego Dominus: quia in praeceptis meis non ambulastis, et iudicia mea non fecistis, sed iuxta iudicia Gentium, quae in circuitu vestro sunt, estis operati.
and ye shall know that I am the LORD; for ye have not walked in My statutes, neither have ye executed Mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.'
13 Et factum est, cum prophetarem, Pheltias filius Banaiae mortuus est: et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna, et dixi: Heu, heu, heu Domine Deus: consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israel?
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said: 'Ah Lord GOD! wilt Thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?'
14 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
15 Fili hominis, fratres tui, viri propinqui tui, et omnis domus Israel, universi, quibus dixerunt habitatores Ierusalem: Longe recedite a Domino, nobis data est terra in possessionem.
'Son of man, as for thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, concerning whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get you far from the LORD! unto us is this land given for a possession;
16 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus, quia longe feci eos in Gentibus, et quia dispersi eos in terris: ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris, ad quas venerunt.
therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet have I been to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they are come;
17 Propterea loquere: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Congregabo vos de populis, et adunabo de terris, in quibus dispersi estis, daboque vobis humum Israel.
therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 Et ingredientur illuc, et auferent omnes offensiones, cunctasque abominationes eius de illa.
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 Et dabo eis cor unum, et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum: et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum, et dabo eis cor carneum:
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
20 Ut in praeceptis meis ambulent, et iudicia mea custodiant, faciantque ea: et sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum.
that they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
21 Quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat, horum viam in capite suo ponam, dicit Dominus Deus.
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.'
22 Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotae cum eis: et gloria Dei Israel erat super ea.
Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis, stetitque super montem, qui est ad Orientem urbis.
And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 Et spiritus levavit me, adduxitque in Chaldaeam ad transmigrationem, in visione in spiritu Dei: et sublata est a me visio, quam videram.
And a spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from Me.
25 Et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini, quae ostenderat mihi.
Then I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
