Hiezechielis Prophetæ 16
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
Again, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 fili hominis notas fac Hierusalem abominationes suas
Sonne of man, cause Ierusalem to knowe her abominations,
3 et dices haec dicit Dominus Deus Hierusalem radix tua et generatio tua de terra chananea pater tuus Amorreus et mater tua Cetthea
And say, Thus saith the Lord God vnto Ierusalem, Thine habitation and thy kindred is of the land of Canaan: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
4 et quando nata es in die ortus tui non est praecisus umbilicus tuus et in aqua non es lota in salutem nec sale salita nec involuta pannis
And in thy natiuitie whe thou wast borne, thy nauell was not cut: thou wast not washed in water to soften thee: thou wast not salted with salt, nor swadled in cloutes.
5 non pepercit super te oculus ut facerem tibi unum de his miseratus tui sed proiecta es super faciem terrae in abiectione animae tuae in die qua nata es
None eye pitied thee to do any of these vnto thee, for to haue compassion vpon thee, but thou wast cast out in the open fielde to the contempt of thy person in ye day that thou wast borne.
6 transiens autem per te vidi te conculcari in sanguine tuo et dixi tibi cum esses in sanguine tuo vive dixi inquam tibi in sanguine tuo vive
And when I passed by thee, I saw thee polluted in thine owne blood, and I said vnto thee, whe thou wast in thy blood, Thou shalt liue: euen when thou wast in thy blood, I saide vnto thee, Thou shalt liue.
7 multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te et multiplicata es et grandis effecta et ingressa es et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem ubera tua intumuerunt et pilus tuus germinavit et eras nuda et confusionis plena
I haue caused thee to multiplie as the bud of the fielde, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou hast gotten excellent ornaments: thy breastes are facioned, thine heare is growen, where as thou wast naked and bare.
8 et transivi per te et vidi te et ecce tempus tuum tempus amantium et expandi amictum meum super te et operui ignominiam tuam et iuravi tibi et ingressus sum pactum tecum ait Dominus Deus et facta es mihi
Nowe when I passed by thee, and looked vpon thee, beholde, thy time was as the time of loue, and I spred my skirtes ouer thee, and couered thy filthines: yea, I sware vnto thee, and entred into a couenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.
9 et lavi te aqua et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te et unxi te oleo
Then washed I thee with water: yea, I washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oyle.
10 et vestivi te discoloribus et calciavi te ianthino et cinxi te bysso et indui te subtilibus
I clothed thee also with broydred worke, and shod thee with badgers skin: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I couered thee with silke.
11 et ornavi te ornamento et dedi armillas in manibus tuis et torquem circa collum tuum
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets vpon thine handes, and a chaine on thy necke.
12 et dedi inaurem super os tuum et circulos auribus tuis et coronam decoris in capite tuo
And I put a frontlet vpon thy face, and earings in thine eares, and a beautifull crowne vpon thine head.
13 et ornata es auro et argento et vestita es bysso et polymito et multicoloribus similam et mel et oleum comedisti et decora facta es vehementer nimis et profecisti in regnum
Thus wast thou deckt with gold and siluer, and thy rayment was of fine linen, and silke, and broydred worke: thou didest eate fine floure, and honie and oyle, and thou wast very beautifull, and thou didest grow vp into a kingdome.
14 et egressum est nomen tuum in gentes propter speciem tuam quia perfecta eras in decore meo quem posueram super te dicit Dominus Deus
And thy name was spred among the heathen for thy beautie: for it was perfite through my beautie which I had set vpon thee, saith the Lord God.
15 et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua fornicata es in nomine tuo et exposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti ut eius fieres
Nowe thou didest trust in thine owne beautie, and playedst the harlot, because of thy renowne, and hast powred out thy fornications on euery one that passed by, thy desire was to him.
16 et sumens de vestimentis meis fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta et fornicata es super eis sicut non est factum neque futurum est
And thou didest take thy garments, and deckedst thine hie places with diuers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like thinges shall not come, neither hath any done so.
17 et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo et argento meo quae dedi tibi et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas et fornicata es in eis
Thou hast also taken thy faire iewels made of my golde and of my siluer, which I had giuen thee, and madest to thy selfe images of men, and didest commit whoredome with them,
18 et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria et vestita es eis et oleum meum et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis
And tookest thy broydred garments, and coueredst them: and thou hast set mine oyle and my perfume before them.
19 et panem meum quem dedi tibi similam et oleum et mel quibus enutrivi te posuisti in conspectu eorum in odorem suavitatis et factum est ait Dominus Deus
My meate also, which I gaue thee, as fine floure, oyle, and honie, wherewith I fedde thee, thou hast euen set it before them for a sweete sauour: thus it was, saith the Lord God.
20 et tulisti filios tuos et filias tuas quas generasti mihi et immolasti eis ad devorandum numquid parva est fornicatio tua
Moreouer thou hast taken thy sonnes and thy daughters, whome thou hast borne vnto me, and these hast thou sacrificed vnto them, to be deuoured: is this thy whoredome a small matter?
21 immolantis filios meos et dedisti illos consecrans eis
That thou hast slaine my children, and deliuered them to cause them to passe through fire for them?
22 et post omnes abominationes tuas et fornicationes non es recordata dierum adulescentiae tuae quando eras nuda et confusione plena conculcata in sanguine tuo
And in all thine abominations and whoredomes thou hast not remembred the dayes of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
23 et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam vae vae tibi ait Dominus Deus
And beside all thy wickednes (wo, wo vnto thee, saith the Lord God)
24 et aedificasti tibi lupanar et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis
Thou hast also built vnto thee an hie place, and hast made thee an hie place in euery streete.
25 ad omne caput viae aedificasti signum prostitutionis tuae et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas
Thou hast built thine hie place at euery corner of the way, and hast made thy beautie to be abhorred: thou hast opened thy feete to euery one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredome.
26 et fornicata es cum filiis Aegypti vicinis tuis magnarum carnium et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad inritandum me
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, which haue great members, and hast encreased thy whoredome, to prouoke me.
27 ecce ego extendi manum meam super te et auferam ius tuum et dabo te in animam odientium te filiarum Palestinarum quae erubescunt in via tua scelerata
Beholde, therefore I did stretche out mine hand ouer thee, and will diminish thine ordinarie, and deliuer thee vnto the will of them that hate thee, euen to the daughters of the Philistims, which are ashamed of thy wicked way.
28 et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum eo quod necdum fueris expleta et postquam fornicata es nec sic es satiata
Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast insaciable: yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
29 et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in terra Chanaan cum Chaldeis et nec sic satiata es
Thou hast moreouer multiplied thy fornication from the land of Canaan vnto Caldea, and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
30 in quo mundabo cor tuum ait Dominus Deus cum facias omnia haec opera mulieris meretricis et procacis
Howe weake is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these thinges, euen the worke of a presumptuous whorish woman?
31 quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viae et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium
In that thou buildest thine hie place in the corner of euery way, and makest thine hie place in euery streete, and hast not bene as an harlot that despiseth a reward,
32 sed quasi mulier adultera quae super virum suum inducit alienos
But as a wife that playeth the harlot, and taketh others for her husband:
33 omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis et donabas eis ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum
They giue giftes to all other whores, but thou giuest giftes vnto all thy louers, and rewardest them, that they may come vnto thee on euery side for thy fornication.
34 factumque in te est contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis et post te non erit fornicatio in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes et mercedes non accepisti factum est in te contrarium
And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy fornications, neither the like fornication shall be after thee: for in that thou giuest a rewarde, and no reward is giuen vnto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
35 propterea meretrix audi verbum Domini
Wherefore, O harlot, heare the worde of the Lord.
36 haec dicit Dominus Deus quia effusum est aes tuum et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis super amatores tuos et super idola abominationum tuarum in sanguine filiorum tuorum quos dedisti eis
Thus sayeth the Lord God, Because thy shame was powred out, and thy filthinesse discouered through thy fornications with thy louers, and with all the idoles of thine abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didest offer vnto them,
37 ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos quibus commixta es et omnes quos dilexisti cum universis quos oderas et congregabo eos super te undique et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis et videbunt omnem turpitudinem tuam
Beholde, therefore I wil gather all thy louers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loued, with al them that thou hast hated: I will euen gather them round about against thee, and will discouer thy filthines vnto them, that they may see all thy filthines.
38 et iudicabo te iudiciis adulterarum et effundentium sanguinem et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli
And I wil iudge thee after ye maner of them that are harlots, and of them that shead blood, and I wil giue thee the blood of wrath and ielousie.
39 et dabo te in manus eorum et destruent lupanar tuum et demolientur prostibulum tuum et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis et auferent vasa decoris tui et derelinquent te nudam plenamque ignominia
I will also giue thee into their handes, and they shall destroy thine hie place, and shall breake downe thine hie places. they shall strippe thee also out of thy clothes, and shall take thy faire iewels, and leaue thee naked and bare.
40 et adducent super te multitudinem et lapidabunt te lapidibus et trucidabunt te gladiis suis
They shall also bring vp a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swordes.
41 et conburent domos tuas igni et facient in te iudicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum et desines fornicari et mercedes ultra non dabis
And they shall burne vp thine houses with fire, and execute iudgements vpon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt giue no reward any more.
42 et requiescet indignatio mea in te et auferetur zelus meus a te et quiescam nec irascar amplius
So will I make my wrath towarde thee to rest, and my ielousie shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be no more angrie.
43 eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adulescentiae tuae et provocasti me in omnibus his quapropter et ego vias tuas in capite tuo dedi ait Dominus Deus et non feci iuxta scelera tua in omnibus abominationibus tuis
Because thou hast not remembred the dayes of thy youth, but hast prouoked me with all these things, behold, therefore I also haue brought thy way vpon thine head, sayeth the Lord God: yet hast not thou had consideration of all thine abominations.
44 ecce omnis qui dicit vulgo proverbium in te adsumet illud dicens sicut mater ita et filia eius
Beholde, all that vse prouerbes, shall vse this prouerbe against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 filia matris tuae es tu quae proiecit virum suum et filios suos et soror sororum tuarum tu quae proiecerunt viros suos et filios suos mater vestra Cetthea et pater vester Amorreus
Thou art thy mothers daughter, that hath cast off her husband and her children, and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which forsooke their husbands and their children: your mother is an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 et soror tua maior Samaria ipsa et filiae eius quae habitat ad sinistram tuam soror autem tua minor te quae habitat a dextris tuis Sodoma et filiae eius
And thine elder sister is Samaria, and her daughters, that dwell at thy left hand, and thy yong sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom, and her daughters.
47 sed nec in viis earum ambulasti neque secundum scelera earum fecisti pauxillum minus paene sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis
Yet hast thou not walked after their wayes, nor done after their abominations: but as it had bene a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more then they in all thy wayes.
48 vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua ipsa et filiae eius sicut fecisti tu et filiae tuae
As I liue, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, neither shee nor her daughters, as thou hast done and thy daughters.
49 ecce haec fuit iniquitas Sodomae sororis tuae superbia saturitas panis et abundantia et otium ipsius et filiarum eius et manum egeno et pauperi non porrigebant
Beholde, this was the iniquitie of thy sister Sodom, Pride, fulnesse of bread, and aboundance of idlenesse was in her, and in her daughters: neither did shee strengthen the hande of the poore and needie.
50 et elevatae sunt et fecerunt abominationes coram me et abstuli eas sicut vidisti
But they were hautie, and committed abomination before mee: therefore I tooke them away, as pleased me.
51 et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum non peccavit sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis et iustificasti sorores tuas in omnibus abominationibus tuis quas operata es
Neither hath Samaria committed halfe of thy sinnes, but thou hast exceeded them in thine abominations, and hast iustified thy sisters in all thine abominations, which thou hast done.
52 ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam quae vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis sceleratius agens ab eis iustificatae sunt enim a te ergo et tu confundere et porta ignominiam tuam quae iustificasti sorores tuas
Therefore thou which hast iustified thy sisters, beare thine owne shame for thy sinnes, that thou hast committed more abominable then they which are more righteous then thou art: be thou therefore confounded also, and beare thy shame, seeing that thou hast iustified thy sisters.
53 et convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis et conversione Samariae et filiarum eius et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum
Therefore I will bring againe their captiuitie with the captiuitie of Sodom, and her daughters, and with the captiuitie of Samaria, and her daughters: euen the captiuitie of thy captiues in the middes of them,
54 ut portes ignominiam tuam et confundaris in omnibus quae fecisti consolans eas
That thou mayest beare thine owne shame, and mayest bee confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou hast comforted them.
55 et soror tua Sodoma et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam et Samaria et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam et tu et filiae tuae revertimini ad antiquitatem vestram
And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall returne to their former state: Samaria also and her daughters shall returne to their former state, when thou and thy daughters shall returne to your former state.
56 non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo in die superbiae tuae
For thy sister Sodom was not heard of by thy report in the day of thy pride,
57 antequam revelaretur malitia tua sicut hoc tempore in obprobrium filiarum Syriae et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palestinarum quae ambiunt te per gyrum
Before thy wickednes was discouered, as in that same time of the reproch of the daughters of Aram, and of all the daughters of the Philistims round about her which despise thee on all sides.
58 scelus tuum et ignominiam tuam tu portasti ait Dominus Deus
Thou hast borne therefore thy wickednesse and thine abomination, saith the Lord.
59 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus et faciam tibi sicut dispexisti iuramentum ut irritum faceres pactum
For thus saith the Lord God, I might euen deale with thee, as thou hast done: when thou didest despise the othe, in breaking the couenant.
60 et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adulescentiae tuae et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum
Neuerthelesse, I wil remember my couenant made with thee in ye dayes of thy youth, and I wil confirme vnto thee an euerlasting couenant.
61 et recordaberis viarum tuarum et confunderis cum receperis sorores tuas te maiores cum minoribus tuis et dabo eas tibi in filias sed non ex pacto tuo
Then thou shalt remember thy wayes, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receiue thy sisters, both thy elder and thy yonger, and I will giue them vnto thee for daughters, but not by thy couenat.
62 et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum et scies quia ego Dominus
And I wil establish my couenant with thee, and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord,
63 ut recorderis et confundaris et non sit tibi ultra aperire os prae confusione tua cum placatus fuero tibi in omnibus quae fecisti ait Dominus Deus
That thou mayest remember, and be ashamed, and neuer open thy mouth any more: because of thy shame when I am pacified toward thee, for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
