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.
Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the LORD's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.
2 Dixitque ad me: Fili hominis, hi sunt viri, qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,
He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3 dicentes: Nonne dudum aedificatae sunt domus? haec est lebes, nos autem carnes.
who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'
4 Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare fili hominis.
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, 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.
The Spirit of the LORD fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says the LORD: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias eius interfectis.
You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets 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 says the LORD: 'Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but I will bring you out of it.
8 Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.
You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says the LORD.
9 Et eiiciam vos de medio eius, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis iudicia.
'I will bring you forth out of its midst, 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.
You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you 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.
This shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in 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 you shall know that I am the LORD: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around 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?
It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, LORD. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
14 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
The word of the LORD came to 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, your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us 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 says the LORD: "Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have 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 says the LORD: "I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you 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.
They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.
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:
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take 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 my 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 walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,' says the LORD."
22 Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotae cum eis: et gloria Dei Israel erat super ea.
Then the cherubim lifted 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.
The glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood on 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.
The 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 to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
