Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 et tu fili hominis haec dicit Dominus Deus terrae Israhel finis venit finis super quattuor plagas terrae
“O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: ‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
3 nunc finis super te et emittam furorem meum in te et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas et ponam contra te omnes abominationes tuas
The end is now upon you, and I will unleash My anger against you. I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
4 et non parcet oculus meus super te et non miserebor sed vias tuas ponam super te et abominationes tuae in medio tui erunt et scietis quia ego Dominus
I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’
5 haec dicit Dominus Deus adflictio una adflictio ecce venit
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster — behold, it is coming!
6 finis venit venit finis evigilavit adversum te ecce venit
The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it has come!
7 venit contractio super te qui habitas in terra venit tempus prope est dies occisionis et non gloriae montium
Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.
8 nunc de propinquo effundam iram meam super te et conpleam furorem meum in te et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas et inponam tibi omnia scelera tua
Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and vent My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
9 et non parcet oculus meus neque miserebor sed vias tuas inponam tibi et abominationes tuae in medio tui erunt et scietis quia ego sum Dominus percutiens
I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who strikes the blow.
10 ecce dies ecce venit egressa est contractio floruit virga germinavit superbia
Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed.
11 iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis non ex eis et non ex populo neque ex sonitu eorum et non erit requies in eis
Their violence has grown into a rod to punish their wickedness. None of them will remain: none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and nothing of value.
12 venit tempus adpropinquavit dies qui emit non laetetur et qui vendit non lugeat quia ira super omnem populum eius
The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is upon the whole multitude.
13 quia qui vendit ad id quod vendidit non revertetur et adhuc in viventibus vita eorum visio enim ad omnem multitudinem eius non regredietur et vir in iniquitate vitae suae non confortabitur
The seller will surely not recover what he sold while both remain alive. For the vision concerning the whole multitude will not be revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve his life.
14 canite tuba praeparentur omnes et non est qui vadat ad proelium ira enim mea super universum populum eius
They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one goes to war, for My wrath is upon the whole multitude.
15 gladius foris pestis et fames intrinsecus qui in agro est gladio morietur et qui in civitate pestilentia et fame devorabuntur
The sword is outside; plague and famine are within. Those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.
16 et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis et erunt in montibus quasi columbae convallium omnes trepidi unusquisque in iniquitate sua
The survivors will escape and live in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity.
17 omnes manus dissolventur et omnia genua fluent aquis
Every hand will go limp, and every knee will turn to water.
18 et accingent se ciliciis et operiet eos formido et in omni facie confusio et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium
They will put on sackcloth, and terror will overwhelm them. Shame will cover all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved.
19 argentum eorum foris proicietur et aurum eorum in sterquilinium erit argentum eorum et aurum eorum non valebit liberare eos in die furoris Domini animam suam non saturabunt et ventres eorum non implebuntur quia scandalum iniquitatis eorum factum est
They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the stumbling block that brought their iniquity.
20 et ornamentum monilium suorum in superbiam posuerunt et imagines abominationum suarum et simulacrorum fecerunt ex eo propter hoc dedi eis illud in inmunditiam
His beautiful ornaments they transformed into pride and used them to fashion their vile images and detestable idols. Therefore I will make these into something unclean for them.
21 et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum et impiis terrae in praedam et contaminabunt illud
And I will hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile them.
22 et avertam faciem meam ab eis et violabunt arcanum meum et introibunt in illud emissarii et contaminabunt illud
I will turn My face away from them, and they will defile My treasured place. Violent men will enter it, and they will defile it.
23 fac conclusionem quoniam terra plena est iudicio sanguinum et civitas plena iniquitate
Forge the chain, for the land is full of crimes of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence.
24 et adducam pessimos de gentibus et possidebunt domos eorum et quiescere faciam superbiam potentium et possidebunt sanctuaria eorum
So I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I will end the pride of the mighty, and their holy places will be profaned.
25 angustia superveniente requirent pacem et non erit
Anguish is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.
26 conturbatio super conturbationem veniet et auditus super auditum et quaerent visionem de propheta et lex peribit a sacerdote et consilium a senioribus
Disaster upon disaster will come, and rumor after rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction from the priests will perish, as will counsel from the elders.
27 rex lugebit et princeps induetur maerore et manus populi terrae conturbabuntur secundum viam eorum faciam eis et secundum iudicia eorum iudicabo eos et scient quia ego Dominus
The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and I will judge them by their own standards. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
