Hiezechielis Prophetæ 24
1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono in mense decimo decima mensis dicens
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, and said:
2 fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Hierusalem hodie
Son of man, write the name of the day, even of this same day. The king of Babylon draweth near to 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
Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on a caldron, 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 make under it a pile for the bones, and make it boil well, that the bones therein may be seethed.
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 Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood, to the caldron in which is rust, and whose rust goeth not out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
7 sanguis enim eius in medio eius est super limpidissimam petram effudit illum non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere
For blood is in the midst of her; upon the bare rock hath she shed it; she poured it not upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
8 ut superducerem indignationem meam et vindicta ulciscerer dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur
To cause fury and to take vengeance, I have set the blood shed by her upon the bare rock, that it might not be covered.
9 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus vae civitati sanguinum cuius ego grandem faciam pyram
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood! Now will I 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, cook the flesh, put in spices, 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, that its brass may be hot and may burn, and that its impurity may be dissolved in it, and its rust be consumed.
12 multo labore sudatum est et non exibit de ea nimia rubigo eius neque per ignem
It hath wearied me with labors, yet its thick rust goeth not from it; its rust remaineth in the midst of 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 gross wickedness, because, when I would have cleansed thee, thou wouldst not be cleansed. Thou shalt not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have quieted my fury toward 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, Jehovah, 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 Lord Jehovah.
15 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
Also the word of Jehovah came to 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 one blow; yet thou shalt not mourn, nor weep, nor 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
Sigh thou in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy head-dress upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet; cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of wretched men.
18 locutus sum ergo ad populum mane et mortua est uxor mea vesperi fecique mane sicut praeceperat mihi
So I spake to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening; 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 to me, Wilt thou not tell us what those things which thou doest denote to us?
20 et dixi ad eos sermo Domini factus est ad me dicens
Then I answered them: The word of Jehovah came to me and said:
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
Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your confidence, the desire of your eyes, and the longing of your souls; and your sons and daughters that are left to you 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 mouths, nor eat the bread of wretched 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 head-dresses 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 moan one to another.
24 eritque Hiezecihel vobis in portentum iuxta omnia quae fecit facietis cum venerit istud et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus
Thus Ezekiel shall be to you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do, when this cometh; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
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
And thou, son of man, behold, in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the longing of their souls, their sons and their daughters, in that day shall one
26 in die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te ut adnuntiet tibi
that is escaped come to 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 that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb; and thou shalt be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
