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
Then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that looketh toward the east; and behold, at the entrance of the gate were five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 dixitque ad me fili hominis hii viri qui cogitant iniquitatem et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista
Then said He to me: These are the men that devise mischief, and form evil designs in this city;
3 dicentes nonne dudum aedificatae sunt domus haec est lebes nos autem carnes
who say, “The time is not near that we should 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 saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel! For I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
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 saith 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 you will I bring forth out of the midst of it.
8 gladium metuistis et gladium inducam super vos ait Dominus Deus
Ye have feared the sword, and the sword will I bring upon you, saith 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 out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments upon you.
10 gladio cadetis in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos et scietis quia ego Dominus
Ye shall fall by the sword; on the borders of Israel will I judge you, that ye may 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, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof. On the borders of Israel will I judge you,
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
that ye may know that I am Jehovah, in whose statutes ye have not walked, and whose ordinances ye have not observed, but have done according to the manners 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 on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah, wilt 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 brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy near kindred, and the whole house of Israel, are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, “Remove ye far from Jehovah; to us is the land given in 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Though I have cast them far off among the nations, and scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them as a sanctuary for a short time in the countries whither they are 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will gather you from the nations, and assemble you from 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 thither, and they shall take away from thence all the detestable things thereof, and all the abominations thereof.
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 them; and I will take out of them the heart of stone, 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 observe my ordinances, and keep 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 them whose heart walketh according to the pleasure of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
22 et elevaverunt cherubin alas suas et rotae cum eis et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea
Then did the cherubs lift 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
Then the spirit took me up, and brought me to Chaldaea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God. And the vision which I had seen went up from me.
25 et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini quae ostenderat mihi
Then I spake to them of the captivity all the words of Jehovah which he had showed me.
