Hiezechielis Prophetæ 6

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy to 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,

Say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and to the hills, to the streambeds, and to the valleys: Behold! I am bringing a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

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

Then your altars will become desolate and your pillars will be destroyed, and I will throw down your dead in front of their idols.

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

I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, and 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.

Everywhere you live, cities will be laid waste and the high places ruined, so that your altars will be laid waste and made desolate. Then they will be broken and disappear, your pillars will be cut down and your works will be wiped away.

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

The dead will fall down in your midst and you will know that I am Yahweh.

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

But I will preserve a remnant among you, and there will be some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered throughout 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.

Then those who escape will think of me among the nations where they will be held captive, that I was grieved by their promiscuous heart that turned away from me, and by their eyes that whored after their idols. Then they will show loathing on their face for the wickedness which they have committed with all their abominations.

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

So they will know that I am Yahweh. It was for a reason that I said I would bring 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.

The Lord Yahweh says this: Clap your hands and stomp your foot! Say, 'Alas!' because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they will fall by sword, famine, and plague.

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.

The one far away will die by plague, and the one who is near will fall by the sword. Those who remain and survive will die by famine. In this way I will accomplish my fury against 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.

Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when their dead lie among their idols, around their altars, on every high hill—on all the mountain peaks, and under every flourishing tree and thick oak—the places where they burned 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.

I will strike with my hand and make the land desolate and a waste, from the wilderness to Diblah, throughout all the places where they live. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
