Hiezechielis Prophetæ 6

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam ad montes Israel, et prophetabis ad eos,

“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and you shall prophesy against them,

3 et dices: Montes Israel audite verbum Domini Dei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus montibus, et collibus, rupibus, et vallibus: Ecce ego inducam super vos gladium, et disperdam excelsa vestra,

and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and hills and cliffs and valleys: Behold, I will lead over you the sword. And I will destroy your exalted places.

4 et demoliar aras vestras, et confringentur simulachra vestra: et deiiciam interfectos vestros ante idola vestra.

And I will demolish your altars. And your graven images will be broken apart. And I will throw down your slain before your idols.

5 Et dabo cadavera filiorum Israel ante faciem simulachrorum vestrorum: et dispergam ossa vestra circum aras vestras

And I will lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel before the face of your idols. And I will scatter your bones around your altars.

6 in omnibus habitationibus vestris. Urbes desertae erunt, et excelsa demolientur, et dissipabuntur: et interibunt arae vestrae, et confringentur: et cessabunt idola vestra, et conterentur delubra vestra, et delebuntur opera vestra.

In all of your habitations, the cities will be made desolate, and the exalted places will be torn down and scattered. And your altars will be broken and destroyed. And your idols will cease to exist. And your shrines will be crushed. And your works will be wiped away.

7 Et cadet interfectus in medio vestri: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus.

And the slain will fall in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

8 Et relinquam in vobis eos, qui fugerint gladium in Gentibus, cum dispersero vos in terris.

And I will leave among you those who will escape the sword among the Gentiles, when I will have dispersed you upon the earth.

9 Et recordabuntur mei liberati vestri in Gentibus, ad quas captivi ducti sunt: quia contrivi cor eorum fornicans, et recedens a me; et oculos eorum fornicantes post idola sua: et displicebunt sibimet super malis quae fecerant in universis abominationibus suis.

And your liberated shall remember me among the nations to which they were led away as captives. For I have crushed their heart, which fornicated and withdrew from me, and their eyes, which fornicated after their idols. And they will be displeased with themselves over the evils that they have done by all their abominations.

10 Et scient quia ego Dominus non frustra locutus sum ut facerem eis malum hoc.

And they shall know that I, the Lord, have not spoken in vain, that I would do this evil to them.”

11 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Percute manum tuam, et allide pedem tuum, et dic: Heu, ad omnes abominationes malorum domus Israel: quia gladio, fame, et peste ruituri sunt.

Thus says the Lord God: “Strike with your hand, and stomp with your foot, and say: ‘Alas, to all the abominations of the evils of the house of Israel!’ For they will fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

12 Qui longe est, peste morietur: qui autem prope, gladio corruet: et qui relictus fuerit, et obsessus, fame morietur: et complebo indignationem meam in eis.

Whoever is far away will die of pestilence. But whoever is near will fall by the sword. And whoever remains and is besieged will die by famine. And I will fulfill my indignation among them.

13 Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum fuerint interfecti vestri in medio idolorum vestrorum in circuitu ararum vestrarum, in omni colle excelso, et in cunctis summitatibus montium, et subtus omne lignum nemorosum, et subtus universam quercum frondosam, locum ubi accenderunt thura redolentia universis idolis suis.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain will be in the midst of your idols, all around your altars, on every exalted hill, and on the summits of all the mountains, and under every dense tree, and under every leafy oak: the places where they burned sweet-smelling incense to all their idols.

14 Et extendam manum meam super eos: et faciam terram desolatam, et destitutam a deserto Deblatha in omnibus habitationibus eorum: et scient quia ego Dominus.

And I will extend my hand over them. And I will make the earth desolate and destitute: from the desert of Riblah to all their dwelling places. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
