Hiezechielis Prophetæ 24
1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono in mense decimo decima mensis dicens
Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
2 fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Hierusalem hodie
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
3 et dices per proverbium ad domum inritatricem parabolam et loqueris ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus pone ollam pone inquam et mitte in ea aquam
And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
4 congere frusta eius in ea omnem partem bonam femur et armum electa et ossibus plena
Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 pinguissimum pecus adsume conpone quoque struices ossuum sub ea efferbuit coctio eius et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius
Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
6 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus vae civitati sanguinum ollae cuius rubigo in ea est et rubigo eius non exivit de ea per partes et per partes suas eice eam non cecidit super eam sors
Wherefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall up on it.
7 sanguis enim eius in medio eius est super limpidissimam petram effudit illum non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere
For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
8 ut superducerem indignationem meam et vindicta ulciscerer dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur
That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
9 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus vae civitati sanguinum cuius ego grandem faciam pyram
Therefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
10 congere ossa quae igne succendam consumentur carnes et concoquetur universa conpositio et ossa tabescent
Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
11 pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam ut incalescat et liquefiat aes eius et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius et consumatur rubigo eius
Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12 multo labore sudatum est et non exibit de ea nimia rubigo eius neque per ignem
She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
13 inmunditia tua execrabilis quia mundare te volui et non es mundata a sordibus tuis sed nec mundaberis prius donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te
In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
14 ego Dominus locutus sum venit et faciam non transeam nec parcam nec placabor iuxta vias tuas et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicavi te dicit Dominus
I YHWH have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
15 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
Also the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
16 fili hominis ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga et non planges neque plorabis neque fluent lacrimae tuae
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
17 ingemesce tacens mortuorum luctum non facies corona tua circumligata sit tibi et calciamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis nec amictu ora velabis nec cibos lugentium comedes
Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
18 locutus sum ergo ad populum mane et mortua est uxor mea vesperi fecique mane sicut praeceperat mihi
So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 et dixit ad me populus quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent quae tu facis
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
20 et dixi ad eos sermo Domini factus est ad me dicens
Then I answered them, The word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
21 loquere domui Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum superbiam imperii vestri et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum et super quo pavet anima vestra et filii vestri et filiae quas reliquistis gladio cadent
Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
22 et facietis sicut feci ora amictu non velabitis et cibos lugentium non comedetis
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris et calciamenta in pedibus non plangetis neque flebitis sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum
And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24 eritque Hiezecihel vobis in portentum iuxta omnia quae fecit facietis cum venerit istud et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus
Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Sovereign YHWH.
25 et tu fili hominis ecce in die quo tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum et gaudium dignitatis et desiderium oculorum eorum super quo requiescunt animae eorum filios et filias eorum
Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
26 in die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te ut adnuntiet tibi
That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
27 in die inquam illa aperietur os tuum cum eo qui fugit et loqueris et non silebis ultra erisque eis in portentum et scietis quia ego Dominus
In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am YHWH.
