Hiezechielis Prophetæ 12
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 fili hominis in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas qui oculos habent ad videndum et non vident et aures ad audiendum et non audiunt quia domus exasperans est
Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking house.
3 tu ergo fili hominis fac tibi vasa transmigrationis et transmigrabis per diem coram eis transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum si forte aspiciant quia domus exasperans est
You therefore, son of man, prepare yourself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and you shall be led into captivity from your place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking house.
4 et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis sicut egreditur migrans
And you shall carry forth your baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and you shall go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.
5 ante oculos eorum perfodi tibi parietem et egredieris per eum
Dig for yourself into the wall [of the house], and you shall pass through it in their sight:
6 in conspectu eorum in umeris portaberis in caligine effereris faciem tuam velabis et non videbis terram quia portentum dedi te domui Israhel
you shall be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shall go forth in secret: you shall cover your face, and shall not see the ground: because I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.
7 feci ergo sicut praeceperat mihi vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu in caligine egressus sum et in umeris portatus in conspectu eorum
And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.
8 et factus est sermo Domini ad me mane dicens
And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,
9 fili hominis numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israhel domus exasperans quid tu facis
Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you, What do you?
10 dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus super ducem onus istud qui est in Hierusalem et super omnem domum Israhel quae est in medio eorum
Say to them, Thus says the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:
11 dic ego portentum vestrum quomodo feci sic fiet illis in transmigrationem et captivitatem ibunt
say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.
12 et dux qui est in medio eorum in umeris portabitur in caligine egredietur parietem perfodient ut educant eum facies eius operietur ut non videat oculo terram
And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.
13 et extendam rete meum super illum et capietur in sagena mea et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldeorum et ipsam non videbit ibique morietur
And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
14 et omnes qui circa eum sunt praesidium eius et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum et gladium evaginabo post eos
And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;
15 et scient quia ego Dominus quando dispersero illos in gentibus et disseminavero eos in terris
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them among the nations; and I will disperse them in the countries.
16 et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio et fame et pestilentia ut narrent omnia scelera eorum in gentibus ad quas ingredientur et scient quia ego Dominus
And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities among the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 fili hominis panem tuum in conturbatione comede sed et aquam tuam in festinatione et maerore bibe
Son of man, eat your bread with sorrow, and drink [your] water with torment and affliction.
19 et dices ad populum terrae haec dicit Dominus Deus ad eos qui habitant in Hierusalem in terra Israhel panem suum in sollicitudine comedent et aquam suam in desolatione bibent ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua propter iniquitatem omnium qui habitant in ea
And you shall say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.
20 et civitates quae nunc habitantur desolatae erunt terraque deserta et scietis quia ego Dominus
And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
21 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
22 fili hominis quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israhel dicentium in longum differentur dies et peribit omnis visio
Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, the vision has perished?
23 ideo dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus quiescere faciam proverbium istud neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israhel et loquere ad eos quod adpropinquaverint dies et sermo omnis visionis
Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for you shall say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.
24 non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israhel
For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.
25 quia ego Dominus loquar quodcumque locutus fuero verbum et fiet non prolongabitur amplius sed in diebus vestris domus exasperans loquar verbum et faciam illud dicit Dominus Deus
For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], says the Lord.
26 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
27 fili hominis ecce domus Israhel dicentium visio quam hic videt in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat
Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.
28 propterea dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus verbum quod locutus fuero conplebitur dicit Dominus Deus
Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, says the Lord.
