Hiezechielis Prophetæ 28
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
The word of the LORD came again to 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, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus says the LORD: "Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas'; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
3 Ecce sapientior es tu Daniele: omne secretum non est absconditum a te.
look, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
4 In sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi fortitudinem: et acquisisti aurum, et argentum in thesauris tuis.
by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
5 In multitudine sapientiae tuae, et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi fortitudinem: et elevatum est cor tuum in robore tuo.
by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches"—
6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum quasi cor Dei:
therefore thus says the LORD: "Because you have set your 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, look, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
8 Interficient, et detrahent te: et morieris in interitu occisorum in corde maris.
They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who 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?
Will you yet say before him who kills you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10 Morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it," says the LORD.'"
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: Fili hominis leva planctum super regem Tyri:
Moreover the word of the LORD came to 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 over the king of Tyre, and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "You seal up the sum, 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.
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
14 Tu cherub extentus, et protegens, et posui te in monte sancto Dei, in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti.
You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuae, donec inventa est iniquitas in te.
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
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 your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, 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.
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
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 your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 Omnes, qui viderint te in Gentibus, obstupescent super te: nihili factus es, et non eris in perpetuum.
All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being."'"
20 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem: et prophetabis de ea,
"Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, 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 says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;" and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified 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.
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
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.
"'There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that scorned them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
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 says the LORD: 'When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave 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 securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'"
