< Hiezechielis Prophetæ 23 >
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis, duae mulieres filiae matris unius fuerunt,
"Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3 et fornicatae sunt in Aegypto, in adolescentia sua fornicatae sunt: ibi subacta sunt ubera earum, et fractae sunt mammae pubertatis earum.
and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
4 Nomina autem earum Oolla maior, et Ooliba soror eius minor: et habui eas, et pepererunt filios, et filias. Porro earum nomina Samaria Oolla, et Ierusalem Ooliba.
Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 Fornicata est igitur super me Oolla, et insanivit in amatores suos, in Assyrios propinquantes,
"Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6 vestitos hyacintho, principes, et magistratus, iuvenes cupidinis, universos equites, ascensores equorum.
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7 Et dedit fornicationes suas super eos electos, filios Assyriorum universos: et in omnibus, in quos insanivit, in immunditiis eorum polluta est.
She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 Insuper et fornicationes suas, quas habuerat in Aegypto, non reliquit: nam et illi dormierunt cum ea in adolescentia eius, et illi confregerunt ubera pubertatis eius, et effuderunt fornicationem suam super eam.
Neither has she left her prostitution since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.
9 Propterea tradidi eam in manus amatorum suorum, in manus filiorum Assur, super quorum insanivit libidine.
Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
10 Ipsi discooperuerunt ignominiam eius, filios, et filias eius tulerunt, et ipsam occiderunt gladio: et factae sunt famosae mulieres, et iudicia perpetraverunt in ea.
These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
11 Quod cum vidisset soror eius Ooliba, plusquam illa insanivit libidine: et fornicationem suam super fornicationem sororis suae
"Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister.
12 ad filios Assyriorum praebuit impudenter, ducibus, et magistratibus ad se venientibus indutis veste varia, equitibus qui vectabantur equis, et adolescentibus forma cunctis egregia.
She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 Et vidi quod polluta esset via una ambarum.
I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
14 Et auxit fornicationes suas: cumque vidisset viros depictos in pariete, imagines Chaldaeorum expressas coloribus,
She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 et accinctos balteis renes, et tiaras tinctas in capitibus eorum, formam ducum omnium, similitudinem filiorum Babylonis, terraeque Chaldaeorum, in qua orti sunt,
wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16 insanivit super eos concupiscentia oculorum suorum, et misit nuncios ad eos in Chaldaeam.
As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 Cumque venissent ad eam filii Babylonis ad cubile mammarum, polluerunt eam stupris suis, et polluta est ab eis, et saturata est anima eius ab illis.
The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 Denudavit quoque fornicationes suas, et discooperuit ignominiam suam: et recessit anima mea ab ea, sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore eius.
So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Multiplicavit enim fornicationes suas, recordans dies adolescentiae suae, quibus fornicata est in Terra Aegypti.
Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
20 Et insanivit libidine super concubitum eorum, quorum carnes sunt ut carnes asinorum: et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum.
She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Et visitasti scelus adolescentiae tuae, quando subacta sunt in Aegypto ubera tua, et confractae sunt mammae pubertatis tuae.
Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.
22 Propterea Ooliba, haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego suscitabo omnes amatores tuos contra te, de quibus satiata est anima tua: et congregabo eos adversum te in circuitu,
"Therefore, Oholibah, thus says Jehovah: 'Look, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
23 Filios Babylonis, et universos Chaldaeos, nobiles, tyrannosque et principes, omnes filios Assyriorum, iuvenes forma egregia, duces, et magistratus universos, principes principum, et nominatos ascensores equorum:
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, all of them governors and officials, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24 et venient super te instructi curru, et rota, multitudo populorum: lorica, et clypeo, et galea armabuntur contra te undique: et dabo coram eis iudicium, et iudicabunt te iudiciis suis.
And they shall come against you armed with chariots, and wagons, and with a huge army; they shall come against you on every side with large shields and small shields and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own standards.
25 Et ponam zelum meum in te, quem exercent tecum in furore: nasum tuum, et aures tuas praecident: et quae remanserint, gladio concident: ipsi filios tuos, et filias tuas capient, et novissimum tuum devorabitur igne.
I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et tollent vasa gloriae tuae.
They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.
27 Et requiescere faciam scelus tuum de te, et fornicationem tuam de Terra Aegypti: nec levabis oculos tuos ad eos, et Aegypti non recordaberis amplius.
Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego tradam te in manus eorum, quos odisti, in manus, de quibus satiata est anima tua.
"'For thus says Jehovah: Look, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;
29 Et agent tecum in odio, et tollent omnes labores tuos, et dimittent te nudam, et ignominia plenam, et revelabitur ignominia fornicationum tuarum, scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuae.
and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
30 Fecerunt haec tibi quia fornicata es post Gentes, inter quas polluta es in idolis earum.
These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 In via sororis tuae ambulasti, et dabo calicem eius in manu tua.
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.'
32 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Calicem sororis tuae bibes profundum, et latum: eris in derisum, et in subsannationem, quae est capacissima.
"Thus says Jehovah: 'You will drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much.
33 Ebrietate, et dolore repleberis: calice moeroris, et tristitiae, calice sororis tuae Samariae.
You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 Et bibes illum, et epotabis usque ad faeces, et fragmenta eius devorabis, et ubera tua lacerabis: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,' says Jehovah.
35 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia oblita es mei, et proiecisti me post corpus tuum, tu quoque porta scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuas.
"Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.'"
36 Et ait Dominus ad me, dicens: Fili hominis numquid iudicas Oollam, et Oolibam, et annuncias eis scelera earum?
Jehovah said moreover to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
37 Quia adulteratae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum, et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt: insuper et filios suos, quos genuerunt mihi, obtulerunt eis ad devorandum.
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
38 Sed et hoc fecerunt mihi: Polluerunt sanctuarium meum in die illa, et sabbata mea profanaverunt.
Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
39 Cumque immolarent filios suos idolis suis, et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa ut polluerent illud: etiam haec fecerunt in medio domus meae.
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and look, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
40 Miserunt ad viros venientes de longe, ad quos nuncium miserant: itaque ecce venerunt: quibus te lavisti, et circumlinisti stibio oculos tuos, et ornata es mundo muliebri.
"'Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and decorate yourself with ornaments,
41 Sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo, et mensa ornata est ante te: thymiama meum, et unguentum meum posuisti super eam.
and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.'
42 Et vox multitudinis exultantis erat in ea: et in viris, qui de multitudine hominum adducebantur, et veniebant de deserto, posuerunt armillas in manibus eorum, et coronas speciosas in capitibus eorum.
The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands twain, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Et dixi ei, quae attrita est in adulteriis: Nunc fornicabitur in fornicatione sua etiam haec.
Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, 'Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she with them.'
44 Et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem: sic ingrediebantur ad Oollam, et Oolibam mulieres nefarias.
They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 Viri ergo iusti sunt: hi iudicabunt eas iudicio adulterarum, et iudicio effundentium sanguinem: quia adulterae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt.
Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 Haec enim dicit Dominus Deus: Adduc ad eas multitudinem, et trade eas in tumultum, et in rapinam:
"For thus says Jehovah: 'I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
47 Et lapidentur lapidibus populorum, et confodiantur gladiis eorum: filios, et filias earum interficient, et domos earum igne succendent.
The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 Et auferam scelus de terra, et discent omnes mulieres ne faciant secundum scelus earum.
'Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
49 Et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos, et peccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
