Hiezechielis Prophetæ 11

1 et elevavit me spiritus et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem quae respicit solis ortum et ecce in introitu portae viginti quinque viri et vidi in medio eorum Hiezoniam filium Azur et Pheltiam filium Banaiae principes populi

Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looks eastward. And, behold, at the door of the gate twenty-five men. And I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

2 dixitque ad me fili hominis hii viri qui cogitant iniquitatem et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista

And he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city,

3 dicentes nonne dudum aedificatae sunt domus haec est lebes nos autem carnes

who say, The time is not near to build houses. This city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.

4 idcirco vaticinare de eis vaticinare fili hominis

Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, O son of man.

5 et inruit in me spiritus Domini et dixit ad me loquere haec dicit Dominus sic locuti estis domus Israhel et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi

And the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says Jehovah: Thus ye have said, O house of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind.

6 plurimos occidistis in urbe hac et implestis vias eius interfectis

Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

7 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus interfecti vestri quos posuistis in medio eius hii sunt carnes et haec est lebes et educam vos de medio eius

Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron, but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.

8 gladium metuistis et gladium inducam super vos ait Dominus Deus

Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, says the lord Jehovah.

9 et eiciam vos de medio eius daboque vos in manu hostium et faciam in vobis iudicia

And I will bring you forth out of the midst of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

10 gladio cadetis in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos et scietis quia ego Dominus

Ye shall fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

11 haec non erit vobis in lebetem et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos

This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof. I will judge you in the border of Israel,

12 et scietis quia ego Dominus qui in praeceptis meis non ambulastis et iudicia mea non fecistis sed iuxta iudicia gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt estis operati

and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. For ye have not walked in my statutes, nor have ye executed my ordinances, but have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.

13 et factum est cum prophetarem Pheltias filius Banaiae mortuus est et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna et dixi heu heu heu Domine Deus consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israhel

And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah lord Jehovah! Will thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

14 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

15 fili hominis fratres tui fratres tui viri propinqui tui et omnis domus Israhel universi quibus dixerunt habitatores Hierusalem longe recedite a Domino nobis data est terra in possessionem

Son of man, thy brothers, even thy brothers, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from Jehovah. This land is given to us for a possession.

16 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quia longe feci eos in gentibus et quia dispersi eos in terris ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris ad quas venerunt

Therefore say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.

17 propterea loquere haec dicit Dominus Deus congregabo vos de populis et adunabo de terris in quibus dispersi estis daboque vobis humum Israhel

Therefore say, Thus says the lord Jehovah. I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

18 et ingredientur illuc et auferent omnes offensiones cunctasque abominationes eius de illa

And they shall come there, and they shall take away from there all the detestable things of it and all the abominations of it.

19 et dabo eis cor unum et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum et dabo eis cor carneum

And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,

20 ut in praeceptis meis ambulent et iudicia mea custodiant faciantque ea et sint mihi in populum et ego sim eis in Deum

that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21 quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat horum viam in capite suo ponam dicit Dominus Deus

But as for those whose heart walks according to the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, says the lord Jehovah.

22 et elevaverunt cherubin alas suas et rotae cum eis et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea

Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

23 et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis stetitque super montem qui est ad orientem urbis

And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

24 et spiritus levavit me adduxitque in Chaldeam ad transmigrationem in visione in spiritu Dei et sublata est a me visio quam videram

And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

25 et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini quae ostenderat mihi

Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shown me.
