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

This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And 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

And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking 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

and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.

4 et filii dura facie et indomabili corde sunt ad quos ego mitto te et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus

And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’

5 si forte vel ipsi audiant et si forte quiescant quoniam domus exasperans est et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum

Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.

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

But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.

7 loqueris ergo verba mea ad eos si forte audiant et quiescant quoniam inritatores sunt

Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.

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 as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”

9 et vidi et ecce manus missa ad me in qua erat involutus liber

And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.

10 et expandit illum coram me qui erat scriptus intus et foris et scriptae erant in eo lamentationes et carmen et vae

And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
