Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Et tu fili hominis, haec dicit Dominus Deus terrae Israel: Finis venit, venit finis super quattuor plagas terrae.
Thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the land of Israel: —
3 Nunc finis super te, et immittam furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas: et ponam contra te omnes abominationes tuas.
The end cometh, the end cometh, Upon the four corners of the land! Now cometh the end upon thee! For I will send my anger upon thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways, And will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
4 Et non parcet oculus meus super te, et non miserebor: sed vias tuas ponam super te, et abominationes tuae in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; But I will recompense thy ways upon thee, And thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
5 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Afflictio una, afflictio ecce venit.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an unheard-of evil, behold, it cometh!
6 finis venit, venit finis, evigilavit adversum te: ecce venit.
The end cometh, the end cometh! It awaketh against thee, behold, it cometh!
7 Venit contritio super te, qui habitas in terra: venit tempus, prope est dies occisionis, et non gloriae montium.
Thy fate cometh upon thee, thou that dwellest in the land! The time is come, The day of tumult is near, When no sound of joy shall be upon the mountains.
8 Nunc de propinquo effundam iram meam super te, et complebo furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas, et imponam tibi omnia scelera tua:
Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, And accomplish mine anger against thee; And I will judge thee according to thy ways, And recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
9 Et non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor, sed vias tuas imponam tibi, et abominationes tuae in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus percutiens.
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; I will recompense thee according to thy ways, And thine abominations shall come upon thee; And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, smite you.
10 Ecce dies, ecce venit: egressa est contritio, floruit virga, germinavit superbia:
Behold, the day, behold, it cometh! The destiny draweth near; The rod hath blossomed, pride hath flourished.
11 Iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis: non ex eis, et non ex populo, neque ex sonitu eorum: et non erit requies in eis.
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; None of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of their crowd; Nor shall there be wailing for them.
12 Venit tempus, appropinquavit dies: qui emit, non laetetur: et qui vendit, non lugeat: quia ira super omnem populum eius.
The time cometh, the day draweth near! Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn; For wrath is against their whole multitude.
13 Quia qui vendit, ad id, quod vendidit, non revertetur, et adhuc in viventibus vita eorum. visio enim ad omnem multitudinem eius non regredietur: et vir in iniquitate vitae suae non confortabitur.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, Though he be yet alive; For the vision against their whole multitude shall not return void, And none that liveth in his iniquity shall strengthen himself
14 Canite tuba, praeparentur omnes, et non est qui vadat ad praelium: ira enim mea super universum populum eius.
“Blow ye the trumpet, and let all be ready!” Yet none goeth to the battle; For mine anger is against their whole multitude.
15 Gladium foris: et pestis, et fames intrinsecus: qui in agro est, gladio morietur: et qui in civitate, pestilentia, et fame devorabuntur.
The sword is without, and pestilence and famine within; He that is in the field shall die by the sword; And he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis: et erunt in montibus quasi columbae convallium omnes trepidi, unusquisque in iniquitate sua.
And those of them that escape shall be upon the mountains like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17 Omnes manus dissolventur, et omnia genua fluent aquis.
All hands shall be feeble, And all knees shall flow with water.
18 Et accingent se ciliciis, et operiet eos formido, et in omni facie confusio, et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium.
They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, And horror shall cover them. And upon all their faces shall be shame, And upon all their heads baldness.
19 Argentum eorum foras proiicietur, et aurum eorum in sterquilinium erit. Argentum eorum, et aurum eorum non valebit liberare eos in die furoris Domini. Animam suam non saturabunt, et ventres eorum non implebuntur: quia scandalum iniquitatis eorum factum est.
Their silver shall they cast into the streets, And their gold shall be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of Jehovah; Their hunger shall not be satisfied, Nor their body filled with it; For it was the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
20 Et ornamentum monilium suorum in superbiam posuerunt, et imagines abominationum suarum, et simulachrorum fecerunt ex eo: propter hoc dedi eis illud in immunditiam:
For the beauty of their ornaments they turned into pride, And the images of their abominations and of their detestable things they made with it; Therefore will I make it to them as an unclean thing.
21 et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum, et impiis terrae in praedam, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the earth for a spoil, And they shall pollute it.
22 Et avertam faciem meam ab eis, et violabunt arcanum meum: et introibunt in illud emissarii, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will turn my face from them, So that my secret place shall be polluted; Robbers shall enter into it, and pollute it.
23 Fac conclusionem: quoniam terra plena est iudicio sanguinum, et civitas plena iniquitate.
Make a chain! For the land is full of blood-guiltiness, And the city is full of violence.
24 Et adducam pessimos de Gentibus, et possidebunt domos eorum. et quiescere faciam superbiam potentium, et possidebunt sanctuaria eorum.
Therefore will I bring the most cruel among the nations, And they shall possess your houses; I will also make the pride of the strong to cease, And their holy places shall be defiled.
25 Angustia superveniente, requirent pacem, et non erit.
Destruction cometh; And they shall seek peace, and not find it.
26 Conturbatio super conturbationem veniet, et auditus super auditum: et quaerent visionem de propheta, et lex peribit a sacerdote, et consilium a senioribus.
Calamity shall come upon calamity, And rumor shall be upon rumor; And they shall seek a vision from the prophet in vain; Instruction shall perish from the priests, And counsel from the elders.
27 Rex lugebit, et princeps induetur moerore, et manus populi terrae conturbabuntur. Secundum viam eorum faciam eis, et secundum iudicia eorum iudicabo eos: et scient quia ego Dominus.
The king shall mourn, And the prince shall be clothed with amazement; And the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them, And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
