Hiezechielis Prophetæ 24
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying,
2 Fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Ierusalem hodie.
'Son of man, write for thee the name of the day — this self-same day leaned hath the king of Babylon toward Jerusalem in this self-same day —
3 Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pone ollam; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.
and use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour into it water,
4 Congere frusta eius in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena.
To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in.
5 Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea: efferbuit coctio eius, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius.
The choice of the flock to take, And also to pile of the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, yea, cook its bones in its midst.
6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, ollae, cuius rubigo in ea est, et rubigo eius non exivit de ea: per partes et per partes suas eiice eam, non cecidit super eam sors.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum hath not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, Not fallen on it hath a lot.
7 Sanguis enim eius in medio eius est, super limpidissimam petram effudit illum: non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere.
For her blood in her midst hath been, On a clear place of a rock she hath set it, She hath not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
8 Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer: dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur.
To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock — not to be covered.
9 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, cuius ego grandem faciam pyram.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the city of blood, yea, I — I make great the pile.
10 Congere ossa, quae igne succendam: consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent.
Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt.
11 Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat aes eius: et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius, et consumatur rubigo eius:
And cause it to stand on its coals empty, So that its brass is hot and burning, Melted hath been in its midst its uncleanness, Consumed is its scum.
12 multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo eius, neque per ignem.
[With] sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire [is] her scum.
13 Immunditia tua execrabilis: quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis: sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.
In thine uncleanness [is] wickedness, Because I have cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My fury to rest on thee.
14 Ego Dominus locutus sum: Veniet, et faciam: non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor: iuxta vias tuas, et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicabo te, dicit Dominus.
I, Jehovah, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
15 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
16 Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga: et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrymae tuae.
'Son of man, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let thy tear come.
17 Ingemisce tacens, mortuorum luctum non facies: corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis, nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.
Cease to groan, [for] the dead thou dost make no mourning, thy bonnet bind on thee, and thy shoes thou dost put on thy feet, and thou dost not cover over the upper lip, and bread of men thou dost not eat.'
18 Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere: fecique mane sicut praeceperat mihi.
And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife dieth in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
19 Et dixit ad me populus: Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent, quae tu facis?
And the people say unto me, 'Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to us, that thou art doing?'
20 Et dixi ad eos: Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens:
And I say unto them, 'A word of Jehovah hath been unto me, saying:
21 Loquere domui Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra: et filii vestri, filiae vestrae, quas reliquistis, gladio cadent.
Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall.
22 Et facietis sicut feci: Ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis.
And ye have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat.
23 Coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus: non plangetis neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum.
And your bonnets [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto another.
24 Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum: iuxta omnia, quae fecit, facietis cum venerit istud: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in — ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
25 Et tu fili hominis ecce in die, qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animae eorum, filios, et filias eorum:
And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their daughters?
26 In die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te, ut annunciet tibi:
In that day come doth the escaped one to thee. To cause the ears to hear.
27 In die, inquam, illa aperietur os tuum cum eo, qui fugit: et loqueris, et non silebis ultra: erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
In that day opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to them for a type. And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
