Hiezechielis Prophetæ 6

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

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

'Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and 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 say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the mountains and concerning the hills, concerning the ravines and concerning the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

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

And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men 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 carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about 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 your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be blotted out.

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

And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

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

Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

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 they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, how that I have been anguished with their straying heart, which hath departed from Me, and with their eyes, which are gone astray after their idols; and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

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

And they shall know that I am the LORD; I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto 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 saith the Lord GOD: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say: Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the 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.

He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine; thus will I spend My fury upon 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 ye shall know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every leafy tree, and under every thick terebinth, the place where they did offer sweet savour 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 stretch out My hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, more than the wilderness of Diblah, throughout all their habitations; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
