Hiezechielis Prophetæ 36

1 Tu autem fili hominis propheta super montes Israel, et dices: Montes Israel audite verbum Domini:

Also, you son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, All of you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:

2 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis: Euge, altitudines sempiternae in hereditatem datae sunt nobis:

Thus says the Lord GOD; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

3 propterea vaticinare, et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, et facti in hereditatem reliquis Gentibus, et ascendistis super labium linguae, et opprobrium populi:

Therefore prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that all of you might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and all of you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an ill repute of the people:

4 propterea montes Israel audite verbum Domini Dei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus montibus, et collibus, torrentibus, vallibus et desertis, parietinis, et urbibus derelictis, quae depopulatae sunt, et subsannatae a reliquis Gentibus per circuitum.

Therefore, all of you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

5 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis Gentibus, et de Idumaea universa, quae dederunt terram meam sibi in hereditatem cum gaudio, et toto corde, et ex animo: et eiecerunt eam ut vastarent:

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

6 idcirco vaticinare super humum Israel, et dices montibus, et collibus, iugis, et vallibus: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego in zelo meo, et in furore meo locutus sum, eo quod confusionem gentium sustinueritis.

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because all of you have borne the shame of the heathen:

7 Idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ego levavi manum meam ut Gentes, quae in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsae confusionem suam portent.

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

8 Vos autem montes Israel ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israel: prope enim est ut veniat:

But all of you, O mountains of Israel, all of you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

9 Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos, et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.

For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and all of you shall be tilled and sown:

10 Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israel: et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur.

And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built:

11 Et replebo vos hominibus, et iumentis: et multiplicabuntur, et crescent: et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, bonisque donabo maioribus, quam habuistis ab initio: et scietis quia ego Dominus.

And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and all of you shall know that I am the LORD.

12 Et adducam super vos homines populum meum Israel, et hereditate possidebunt te: et eris eis in hereditatem, et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis.

Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of men.

13 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis: Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam:

Thus says the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, You land devour up men, and have bereaved your nations:

14 Propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus:

Therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nations any more, says the Lord GOD.

15 Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem Gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis, et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.

Neither will I cause men to hear in you the shame of the heathen any more, neither shall you bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shall you cause your nations to fall any more, says the Lord GOD.

16 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

17 Fili hominis domus Israel habitaverunt in humo sua, et polluerunt eam in viis suis, et in studiis suis iuxta immunditiam menstruatae facta est via eorum coram me.

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

18 Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine, quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.

Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

19 Et dispersi eos in Gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras: iuxta vias eorum, et adinventiones eorum iudicavi eos.

And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

20 Et ingressi sunt ad Gentes, ad quas introierunt, et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, cum diceretur de eis: Populus Domini iste est, et de terra eius egressi sunt.

And when they entered unto the heathen, where they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

21 Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israel in Gentibus, ad quas ingressi sunt.

But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, where they went.

22 Idcirco dices domui Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israel, sed propter nomen sanctum meum, quod polluistis in Gentibus, ad quas intrastis.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which all of you have profaned among the heathen, where all of you went.

23 Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum, quod pollutum est inter Gentes, quod polluistis in medio earum: ut sciant Gentes quia ego Dominus, ait Dominus exercituum, cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis:

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which all of you have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, says the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24 Tollam quippe vos de Gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.

For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos.

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and all of you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 Et dabo vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri: et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, et dabo vobis cor carneum.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 Et spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri: et faciam ut in praeceptis meis ambuletis, et iudicia mea custodiatis, et operemini.

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and all of you shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28 Et habitabitis in terra, quam dedi patribus vestris: et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.

And all of you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and all of you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris: et vocabo frumentum, et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.

I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

30 Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in Gentibus.

And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that all of you shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

31 Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum: et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestrae, et scelera vestra.

Then shall all of you remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

32 Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis: confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israel.

Not for your sakes do I this, says the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

33 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: In die, qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et inhabitari fecero urbes, et instauravero ruinosa,

Thus says the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.

34 et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quae quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

35 dicent: Terra illa inculta, facta est ut hortus voluptatis: et civitates desertae, et destitutae atque suffossae, munitae sederunt.

And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

36 Et scient Gentes quaecumque derelictae fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus aedificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta, ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.

Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.

37 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israel, ut faciam eis: Multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum,

Thus says the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

38 ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Ierusalem in sollemnitatibus eius: Sic erunt civitates desertae, plenae gregibus hominum: et scient quia ego Dominus.

As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
