Hiezechielis Prophetæ 6
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
The LORD’s word 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 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,
and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
4 et demoliar aras vestras, et confringentur simulachra vestra: et deiiciam interfectos vestros ante idola vestra.
Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. 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
I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. 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 your dwelling places, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7 Et cadet interfectus in medio vestri: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus.
The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
8 Et relinquam in vobis eos, qui fugerint gladium in Gentibus, cum dispersero vos in terris.
“‘“Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are 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.
Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will 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.
They will know that I am the LORD. I have not said 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.
“The Lord GOD says: ‘Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas!”, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they will 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 who is far off will die of the pestilence. He who is near will fall by the sword. He who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath on 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.
You will know that I am the LORD when their slain men are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thick oak—the places where they offered pleasant aroma 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 stretch out my hand on them and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
