Hiezechielis Prophetæ 2
1 haec visio similitudinis gloriae Domini et vidi et cecidi in faciem meam et audivi vocem loquentis et dixit ad me fili hominis sta supra pedes tuos et loquar tecum
He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 et ingressus est in me spiritus postquam locutus est mihi et statuit me supra pedes meos et audivi loquentem ad me
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
3 et dicentem fili hominis mitto ego te ad filios Israhel ad gentes apostatrices quae recesserunt a me patres eorum praevaricati sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc
He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4 et filii dura facie et indomabili corde sunt ad quos ego mitto te et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
5 si forte vel ipsi audiant et si forte quiescant quoniam domus exasperans est et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 tu ergo fili hominis ne timeas eos neque sermones eorum metuas quoniam increduli et subversores sunt tecum et cum scorpionibus habitas verba eorum ne timeas et vultus eorum ne formides quia domus exasperans est
You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 loqueris ergo verba mea ad eos si forte audiant et quiescant quoniam inritatores sunt
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
8 tu autem fili hominis audi quaecumque loquor ad te et noli esse exasperans sicut domus exasperatrix est aperi os tuum et comede quaecumque ego do tibi
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
9 et vidi et ecce manus missa ad me in qua erat involutus liber
When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
10 et expandit illum coram me qui erat scriptus intus et foris et scriptae erant in eo lamentationes et carmen et vae
He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
