Hiezechielis Prophetæ 28
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 Fili hominis, dic principi Tyri: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum, et dixisti: Deus ego sum, et in cathedra Dei sedi in corde maris: cum sis homo, et non Deus, et dedisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei.
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not God, ) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God:
3 Ecce sapientior es tu Daniele: omne secretum non est absconditum a te.
behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee;
4 In sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi fortitudinem: et acquisisti aurum, et argentum in thesauris tuis.
by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
5 In multitudine sapientiae tuae, et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi fortitudinem: et elevatum est cor tuum in robore tuo.
by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches.
6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum quasi cor Dei:
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,
7 idcirco ecce ego adducam super te alienos robustissimos Gentium: et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiae tuae, et polluent decorem tuum.
therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness.
8 Interficient, et detrahent te: et morieris in interitu occisorum in corde maris.
They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas.
9 Numquid dicens loqueris: Deus ego sum, coram interficientibus te: cum sis homo, et non Deus, in manu occidentium te?
Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee.
10 Morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: Fili hominis leva planctum super regem Tyri:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
12 et dices ei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tu signaculum similitudinis, plenus sapientia, et perfectus decore,
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, who sealest up the measure of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty,
13 in deliciis paradisi Dei fuisti: omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum: sardius, topazius, et iaspis, chrysolithus, et onyx, et beryllus, sapphirus, et carbunculus, et smaragdus: aurum opus decoris tui: et foramina tua in die, qua conditus es, praeparata sunt.
thou wast in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee: in the day that thou wast created were they prepared.
14 Tu cherub extentus, et protegens, et posui te in monte sancto Dei, in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti.
Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire.
15 Perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuae, donec inventa est iniquitas in te.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways, from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.
16 In multitudine negotiationis tuae repleta sunt interiora tua iniquitate, et peccasti: et eieci te de monte sancto Dei, et perdidi te, o cherub protegens, de medio lapidum ignitorum.
By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane from the mountain of God, and have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Et elevatum est cor tuum in decore tuo: perdidisti sapientiam tuam in decore tuo, in terram proieci te: ante faciem regum dedi te ut cernerent te.
Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 In multitudine iniquitatum tuarum, et iniquitate negotiationis tuae polluisti sanctificationem tuam: producam ergo ignem de medio tui, qui comedat te, et dabo te in cinerem super terram in conspectu omnium videntium te.
By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries: and I have brought forth a fire out of the midst of thee — it hath consumed thee; and I have brought thee to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 Omnes, qui viderint te in Gentibus, obstupescent super te: nihili factus es, et non eris in perpetuum.
All they that know thee among the peoples shall be amazed at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
20 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
21 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem: et prophetabis de ea,
Son of man, set thy face towards Zidon, and prophesy against it,
22 et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te Sidon, et glorificabor in medio tui: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum fecero in ea iudicia, et sanctificatus fuero in ea.
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be hallowed in her.
23 Et immittam ei pestilentiam, et sanguinem in plateis eius: et corruent interfecti in medio eius gladio per circuitum: et scient quia ego Dominus.
And I will send into her the pestilence, and blood in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, by the sword upon her on every side: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
24 Et non erit ultra domui Israel offendiculum amaritudinis, et spina dolorem inferens undique per circuitum eorum, qui adversantur eis: et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.
And there shall be no more a wounding sting for the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn, among all that were round about them, that despised them: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
25 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quando congregavero domum Israel de populis, in quibus dispersi sunt, sanctificabor in eis coram Gentibus: et habitabunt in terra sua, quam dedi servo meo Iacob.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be hallowed in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their land which I have given to my servant Jacob.
26 Et habitabunt in ea securi: et aedificabunt domos, et plantabunt vineas, et habitabunt confidenter, cum fecero iudicia in omnibus, qui adversantur eis per circuitum: et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum.
They shall dwell in it in safety, and shall build houses and plant vineyards; and they shall dwell in safety, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despised them round about them: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah their God.
