Hiezechielis Prophetæ 6

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam ad montes Israhel et prophetabis ad eos

Son of man, set thy face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

3 et dices montes Israhel audite verbum Domini Dei haec dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus rupibus et vallibus ecce ego inducam super vos gladium et disperdam excelsa vestra

And thou shalt say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal! Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, Behold, I, even I, will bring over you the sword, and I will destroy your high-places.

4 et demoliar aras vestras et confringentur simulacra vestra et deiciam interfectos vestros ante idola vestra

And your altars shall be made desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken: and I will cause your slain ones to fall before your idols.

5 et dabo cadavera filiorum Israhel ante faciem simulacrorum vestrorum et dispergam ossa vestra circum aras vestras

And I will lay the carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

6 in omnibus habitationibus vestris urbes desertae erunt et excelsa demolientur et dissipabuntur et interibunt arae vestrae et confringentur et cessabunt idola vestra et conterentur delubra vestra et delebuntur opera vestra

In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid in ruins, and the high-places shall be made desolate; in order that your altars may be laid in ruins and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and annihilated, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.

7 et cadet interfectus in medio vestri et scietis quoniam ego Dominus

And the slain shall fall in the midst of you: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

8 et relinquam in vobis eos qui fugerint gladium in gentibus cum dispersero vos in terris

Yet will I leave [some]; that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered in the [various] countries.

9 et recordabuntur mei liberati vestri in gentibus ad quas captivi ducti sunt quia contrivi cor eorum fornicans et recedens a me et oculos eorum fornicantes post idola sua et displicebunt sibimet super malis quae fecerunt in universis abominationibus suis

And those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations among whom they shall have been carried captive, when I shall have broken their licentious heart, which had departed from me, even with their eyes, which were gone astray after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves on account of the evil deeds which they have committed with all their abominations.

10 et scient quia ego Dominus non frustra locutus sum ut facerem eis malum hoc

And they shall know that I am the Lord: not for naught have I spoken that I would do unto them this evil.

11 haec dicit Dominus Deus percute manu tua et adlide pedem tuum et dic eheu ad omnes abominationes malorum domus Israhel qui gladio fame peste ruituri sunt

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Strike thy hands together, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the dreadful abominations of the house of Israel! who will have to fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

12 qui longe est peste morietur qui autem prope gladio corruet et qui relictus fuerit et obsessus fame morietur et conpleam indignationem meam in eis

He that is afar off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I let out all my fury on them.

13 et scietis quia ego Dominus cum fuerint interfecti vestri in medio idolorum vestrorum in circuitu ararum vestrarum in omni colle excelso in cunctis summitatibus montium et subtus omne lignum nemorosum et subtus universam quercum frondosam locum ubi accenderunt tura redolentia universis idolis suis

And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain ones shall lie in the midst of their idols round about their altars, on every high hill, upon all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick-branched oak, —places where they presented sweet savor to all their idols.

14 et extendam manum meam super eos et faciam terram desolatam et destitutam a deserto Deblatha in omnibus habitationibus eorum et scient quia ego Dominus

And I will stretch out my hand over them, and I will render the land desolate and waste, more than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
