Hiezechielis Prophetæ 36
1 tu autem fili hominis propheta super montes Israhel et dices montes Israhel audite verbum Domini
“And you, son of man, prophesy to mountains of Israel, and you have said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of YHWH!
2 haec dicit Dominus Deus eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis euge altitudines sempiternae in hereditatem datae sunt nobis
Thus said Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! The high places of old have also become our possession,
3 propterea vaticinare et dic haec dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod desolati estis et conculcati per circuitum et facti in hereditatem reliquis gentibus et ascendistis super labium linguae et obprobrium populi
therefore, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from all around, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And you are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report to the people.
4 propterea montes Israhel audite verbum Domini Dei haec dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus torrentibus vallibusque et desertis parietinis et urbibus derelictis quae depopulatae sunt et subsannatae a reliquis gentibus per circuitum
Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to ruins that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the surrounding nations,
5 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis gentibus et de Idumea universa qui dederunt terram meam sibi in hereditatem cum gaudio et toto corde ex animo et eiecerunt eam ut vastarent
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom—all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart—with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?
6 idcirco vaticinare super humum Israhel et dices montibus et collibus iugis et vallibus haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego in zelo meo et in furore meo locutus sum eo quod confusionem gentium sustinueritis
Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And you have said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I, in My jealousy and in My fury, have spoken, Because you have borne the shame of nations.
7 idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus ego levavi manum meam ut gentes quae in circuitu vestro sunt ipsae confusionem suam portent
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have lifted up My hand, Do the nations who [are] surrounding you not bear their own shame?
8 vos autem montes Israhel ramos vestros germinetis et fructum vestrum adferatis populo meo Israhel prope est enim ut veniat
And you, O mountains of Israel, You give out your branch, And you bear your fruits for My people Israel, For they have drawn near to come.
9 quia ecce ego ad vos et convertar ad vos et arabimini et accipietis sementem
For behold, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And you have been tilled and sown.
10 et multiplicabo in vobis homines omnemque domum Israhel et habitabuntur civitates et ruinosa instaurabuntur
And I have multiplied men on you, All the house of Israel—all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the ruins are built.
11 et replebo vos hominibus et iumentis et multiplicabuntur et crescent et habitari vos faciam sicut a principio bonisque donabo maioribus quam habuistis ab initio et scietis quia ego Dominus
And I have multiplied man and beast on you, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
12 et adducam super vos homines populum meum Israhel et hereditate possidebunt te et eris eis in hereditatem et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis
And I have caused man to walk over you—My people Israel, And they possess you, and you have been their inheritance, And you no longer add to bereave them.
13 haec dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod dicunt de vobis devoratrix hominum es et suffocans gentem tuam
Thus said Lord YHWH: Because they are saying to you, You [are] a devourer of men, And you have been a bereaver of your nations,
14 propterea homines non comedes amplius et gentem tuam non necabis ultra ait Dominus Deus
Therefore, you no longer devour man, And you do not cause your nations to stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
15 nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem gentium et obprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis et gentem tuam non amittes amplius ait Dominus Deus
And I do not proclaim the shame of the nations to you anymore, And you no longer bear the reproach of peoples, And your nations do not stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
16 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
17 fili hominis domus Israhel habitaverunt in humo sua et polluerunt eam in viis suis et in studiis suis iuxta inmunditiam menstruatae facta est via eorum coram me
“Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, Their way has been as the uncleanness of a separated one before Me.
18 et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine quem fuderunt super terram et in idolis suis polluerunt eam
And I pour out My fury on them For the blood that they shed on the land, And they have defiled it with their idols.
19 et dispersi eos in gentes et ventilati sunt in terris iuxta vias eorum et adinventiones iudicavi eos
And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.
20 et ingressi sunt ad gentes ad quas introierunt et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum cum diceretur de eis populus Domini iste est et de terra eius egressi sunt
And one goes to the nations to where they have gone, And they defile My holy Name by saying to them, These [are] the people of YHWH, And they have gone forth from His land.
21 et peperci nomini meo sancto quod polluerat domus Israhel in gentibus ad quas ingressi sunt
And I have pity on My holy Name, That the house of Israel has defiled Among the nations to where they have gone in.
22 idcirco dices domui Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus non propter vos ego faciam domus Israhel sed propter nomen sanctum meum quod polluistis in gentibus ad quas intrastis
Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: I am not working for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy Name That you have defiled Among the nations to where you have gone in.
23 et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum quod pollutum est inter gentes quod polluistis in medio earum ut sciant gentes quia ego Dominus ait Dominus exercituum cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis
And I have sanctified My great Name, That is profaned among the nations, That you have defiled in your midst, And the nations have known that I [am] YHWH, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.
24 tollam quippe vos de gentibus et congregabo de universis terris et adducam vos in terram vestram
And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you into your land,
25 et effundam super vos aquam mundam et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos
And I have sprinkled clean water over you, And you have been clean; I cleanse you from all your uncleannesses, And from all your idols.
26 et dabo vobis cor novum et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra et dabo vobis cor carneum
And I have given a new heart to you, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to you.
27 et spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri et faciam ut in praeceptis meis ambuletis et iudicia mea custodiatis et operemini
And I give My Spirit in your midst, And I have done this, so that you walk in My statutes, And you keep My judgments, and have done them.
28 et habitabitis in terra quam dedi patribus vestris et eritis mihi in populum et ego ero vobis in Deum
And you have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.
29 et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris et vocabo frumentum et multiplicabo illud et non inponam in vobis famem
And I have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called to the grain, and multiplied it, And I have put no famine on you.
30 et multiplicabo fructum ligni et genimina agri ut non portetis ultra obprobrium famis in gentibus
And I have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that you do not receive a reproach of famine among nations anymore.
31 et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum studiorumque non bonorum et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestrae et scelera vestra
And you have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations.
32 non propter vos ego faciam ait Dominus Deus notum sit vobis confundimini et erubescite super viis vestris domus Israhel
I am not working for your sake, A declaration of Lord YHWH, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because of your ways, O house of Israel.
33 haec dicit Dominus Deus in die qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris et habitari fecero urbes et instauravero ruinosa
Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the ruins have been built,
34 et terra deserta fuerit exculta quae quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris
And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of everyone passing by,
35 dicent terra illa inculta facta est ut hortus voluptatis et civitates desertae et destitutae atque suffossae munitae sederunt
And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Has been as the Garden of Eden, And the cities—the dried up, And the desolated, and the broken down, [And the] fortified have remained.
36 et scient gentes quaecumque derelictae fuerint in circuitu vestro quia ego Dominus aedificavi dissipata plantavique inculta ego Dominus locutus sum et fecerim
And the nations who are left around you have known That I, YHWH, have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it].
37 haec dicit Dominus Deus adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israhel ut faciam eis multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum
Thus said Lord YHWH: Yet this I am inquired of by the house of Israel to do for them: I multiply them as a flock of men,
38 ut gregem sanctum ut gregem Hierusalem in sollemnitatibus eius sic erunt civitates desertae plenaeque gregibus hominum et scient quia ego Dominus
As a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed times, So the dried up cities are full of flocks of man, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
