Hiezechielis Prophetæ 6

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

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

“You human, turn toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy [what will happen to] them, and say,

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,

‘You mountains and hills of Israel [APO], listen to what Yahweh the Lord says to you: “I am about to [enemy soldiers with] swords to come and destroy [the shrines on] your hilltops.

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

They will smash all the [for worshiping idols] and the altars for burning incense. And they will [many Israeli] people in front of those idols.

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

Their corpses will lie in front of their idols, and their bones will be scattered around their 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.

Wherever the Israelis live, their towns will be ruined, and the shrines where they worship idols will be smashed. Their altars will be completely smashed [DOU], their idols will be completely smashed [DOU], and everything that they own will become a pile of ruins.

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

Many of their people will be killed; and then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].

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

But I will allow some of the Israelis to remain alive. They will escape being killed when their enemies scatter them among many other nations.

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.

When that happens, in those nations to which they have been forced to go, those who have escaped from being killed will think about me. They will remember that I was very grieved because of their turning away from me [IDM] with their inner beings, and because they very much desired [IDM] to worship their idols. They will (hate/be very displeased with) themselves because of the evil and detestable things that they have done.

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

[they will realize that] I, Yahweh, [have punished them. They will realize that] when I threatened to punish them, I surely intended [LIT] to do that.

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.

So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to you, Ezekiel]: ‘Wring your hands and stamp your feet and cry [to show that you are distressed], and [about what will happen to] your Israeli people [MTY] because of all their wicked and detestable behavior. They will be killed [their enemies’] swords, they will die from hunger, and they will die from plagues.

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.

Those who are far [from Jerusalem] will die from plagues, those who are close [to Jerusalem] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are still alive will die from hunger. That is how I will punish [MTY] 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.

[Some of] your people’s corpses will lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hilltop and on all the mountaintops, under every big tree [DOU]—at all the places where they burned incense [honor] their idols. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

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 arm and cause your entire country to become an empty wasteland, from the [in the far south] to [town in the far north]. Then they will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
