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

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

2 et ingressus est in me spiritus postquam locutus est mihi et statuit me supra pedes meos et audivi loquentem ad me

And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto 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 he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto 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

and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath 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

And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.

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

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are 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

And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

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; and behold, a roll of a book therein.

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 it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
