Hiezechielis Prophetæ 12
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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, in the midst of the rebellious house thou art dwelling, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; ears they have to hear, and they have not heard; for a rebellious house [are] they.
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.
And thou, son of man, make to thee vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and thou hast removed from thy place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for a rebellious house they [are].
4 Et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum: tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
And thou hast brought forth thy vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and thou, thou dost go forth at even before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal.
5 Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem: et egredieris per eum.
Before their eyes dig for thee through the wall, and thou hast brought forth by it.
6 In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis, in caligine effereris: faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram. quia portentum dedi te domui Israel.
Before their eyes on the shoulder thou dost bear, in the darkness thou dost bring forth, thy face thou dost cover, and thou dost not see the earth, for a type I have given thee to the house of Israel.'
7 Feci ergo sicut praeceperat 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 do so, as I have been commanded; my vessels I have brought forth as vessels of removal by day, and at even I have dug for me through the wall with the hand; in the darkness I have brought forth, on the shoulder I have borne away, before their eyes.
8 Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the morning, saying,
9 Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israel, domus exasperans: Quid tu facis?
'Son of man, have they not said unto thee — the house of Israel — the rebellious house — What art thou doing?
10 Dic ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Ierusalem, et super omnem domum Israel, quae est in medio eorum.
say unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'The prince [is] this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.
11 Dic: Ego portentum vestrum: quomodo feci, sic fiet illis. in transmigrationem, et in captivitatem ibunt.
Say: I [am] your type; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they do go.
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.
As to the prince who [is] in their midst, on the shoulder he beareth in the darkness, and he goeth forth, through the wall they dig to bring forth by it, his face he covereth, that he may not look on the very surface of the land.
13 Et extendam rete meum super eum, et capietur in sagena mea: et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldaeorum: et ipsam non videbit, ibique morietur.
And I have spread My net for him, and he hath been caught in My snare, and I have brought him in to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and it he doth not see — and there doth he die.
14 Et omnes, qui circa eum sunt, praesidium eius, et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum: et gladium evaginabo post eos.
'And all who are round about him to help him, and all his bands, I do scatter to every wind, and a sword I draw out after them.
15 Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in Gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands;
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.
and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, and they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
17 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
18 Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede: sed et aquam tuam in festinatione, et moerore bibe.
'Son of man, thy bread in haste thou dost eat, and thy water with trembling and with fear thou dost drink;
19 Et dices ad populum terrae: Haec 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 thou hast said unto the people of the land, Thus said the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: Their bread with fear they do eat, and their water with astonishment drink, because its land is desolate, because of its fulness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it.
20 Et civitates, quae nunc habitantur, desolatae erunt, terraque deserta: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
21 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 [is] this simile to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, Prolonged are the days, and perished hath every vision?
23 Ideo dic ad eos: Haec 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 unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused this simile to cease, And they use it not as a simile again in Israel, But speak to them: Drawn near have the days, And spoken hath every vision.
24 Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israel.
For there is no more any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of 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, The word that I speak — it is done, It is not prolonged any more, For, in your days, O rebellious house, I speak a word, and I have done it, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
26 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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, lo, the house of Israel are saying, The vision that he is seeing [is] for many days, and of times far off he is prophesying,
28 Propterea dic ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus: verbum, quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.
therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: None of my words are prolonged any more, When I speak a word — it is done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
