Hiezechielis Prophetæ 28

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 fili hominis dic principi Tyri haec dicit Dominus Deus eo quod elevatum est cor tuum et dixisti Deus ego sum et in cathedra Dei sedi in corde maris cum sis homo et non Deus et dedisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei

“Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Your heart is arrogant! You have said, “I am a god! I will sit in the seat of the gods in the heart of the seas!” Even though you are a man and not a god, you make your heart like the heart of a god;

3 ecce sapientior es tu Danihele omne secretum non est absconditum a te

you think that you are wiser than Daniel, and that no secret amazes you!

4 in sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi fortitudinem et adquisisti aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis

You have made yourself wealthy with wisdom and skill, and obtained gold and silver in your treasuries!

5 in multitudine sapientiae tuae et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi fortitudinem et elevatum est cor tuum in robore tuo

By great wisdom and by your trading, you have multiplied your wealth, so your heart is arrogant because of your wealth.

6 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus eo quod elevatum est cor tuum quasi cor Dei

Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have made your heart like the heart of a god,

7 idcirco ecce ego adducam super te alienos robustissimos gentium et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiae tuae et polluent decorem tuum

I will therefore bring foreigners against you, terrifying men from other nations. They will bring their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they will profane your splendor.

8 interficient et detrahent te et morieris interitu occisorum in corde maris

They will send you down to the pit, and you will die the death of those who die in the heart of the seas.

9 numquid dicens loqueris Deus ego sum coram interficientibus te cum sis homo et non Deus in manu occidentium te

Will you truly say, “I am a god” to the face of one who kills you? You are a man and not God, and you will be in the hand of the one who pierces you.

10 morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum quia ego locutus sum ait Dominus Deus

You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners, for I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

11 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens fili hominis leva planctum super regem Tyri

The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

12 et dices ei haec dicit Dominus Deus tu signaculum similitudinis plenus sapientia et perfectus decore

“Son of man, lift up a lament for the king of Tyre and say to him, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 in deliciis paradisi Dei fuisti omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum sardius topazius et iaspis chrysolitus et onyx et berillus sapphyrus et carbunculus et zmaragdus aurum opus decoris tui et foramina tua in die qua conditus es praeparata sunt

You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone covered you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made from gold. It was on the day you were created that they were prepared.

14 tu cherub extentus et protegens et posui te in monte sancto Dei in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti

I placed you on the holy mountain of God as the cherub I anointed to guard mankind. You were in the midst of the fiery stones where you walked about.

15 perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuae donec inventa est iniquitas in te

You had integrity in your ways from the day you were created until injustice was found within you.

16 in multitudine negotiationis tuae repleta sunt interiora tua iniquitate et peccasti et eieci te de monte Dei et perdidi te o cherub protegens de medio lapidum ignitorum

Through your great trade you were filled with violence, and so you sinned. So I threw you out of the mountain of God, as a one who was defiled, and I destroyed you, guardian cherub, and drove you from among the fiery stones.

17 elevatum est cor tuum in decore tuo perdidisti sapientiam tuam in decore tuo in terram proieci te ante faciem regum dedi te ut cernerent te

Your heart was arrogant with your beauty; you ruined your wisdom because of your splendor. I have sent you down to the earth. I have placed you before kings so they may see you.

18 in multitudine iniquitatum tuarum et iniquitate negotiationis tuae polluisti sanctificationem tuam producam ergo ignem de medio tui qui comedat te et dabo te in cinerem super terram in conspectu omnium videntium te

Because of your many sins and your dishonest trade, you have defiled your holy places. So I have made fire come out from you; it will consume you. I will turn you into ashes on the earth in the sight of all who look at you.

19 omnes qui viderint te in gentibus obstupescent super te nihili factus es et non eris in perpetuum

All the ones who knew you among the peoples will shudder at you; they will be horrified, and you will be no more forever.'”

20 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

21 fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem et prophetabis de ea

“Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her.

22 et dices haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te Sidon et glorificabor in medio tui et scient quia ego Dominus cum fecero in ea iudicia et sanctificatus fuero in ea

Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Sidon! For I will be glorified in your midst so your people will know that I am Yahweh when I execute justice within you. I will be shown to be holy in you.

23 et inmittam ei pestilentiam et sanguinem in plateis eius et corruent interfecti in medio eius gladio per circuitum et scient quia ego Dominus

I will send out a plague in you and blood in your streets, and the slain will fall in your midst. When the sword comes against you from all around, then you will know that I am Yahweh.

24 et non erit ultra domui Israhel offendiculum amaritudinis et spina dolorem inferens undique per circuitum eorum qui adversantur eis et scient quia ego Dominus Deus

Then there will no longer be pricking briars and painful thorns for the house of Israel from all those around her who despise her people, so they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!'

25 haec dicit Dominus Deus quando congregavero domum Israhel de populis in quibus dispersi sunt sanctificabor in eis coram gentibus et habitabunt in terra sua quam dedi servo meo Iacob

The Lord Yahweh says this, 'When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they were scattered, and when I am set apart among them, so the nations may see, then they will make their homes in the land I will give to my servant Jacob.

26 et habitabunt in ea securi et aedificabunt domos plantabuntque vineas et habitabunt confidenter cum fecero iudicia in omnibus qui adversantur eis per circuitum et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum

Then they will live securely within her and build houses, plant vineyards, and live securely when I execute justice on all the ones who now despise them from all around; so they will know that I am Yahweh their God!'”
