Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 et tu fili hominis haec dicit Dominus Deus terrae Israhel finis venit finis super quattuor plagas terrae
And thou, son of man, thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the land of Israel, There is an end! the end is coming over 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
Now cometh the end over thee, and I will let loose my anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy 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
And my eye shall not show pity upon thee, and I will not spare thee; for thy own ways will I lay upon thee, and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
5 haec dicit Dominus Deus adflictio una adflictio ecce venit
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, An evil, a peculiar evil, behold, is coming.
6 finis venit venit finis evigilavit adversum te ecce venit
An end is coming, there is coming the end: it waketh up against thee; behold, [the evil] cometh.
7 venit contractio super te qui habitas in terra venit tempus prope est dies occisionis et non gloriae montium
The evil decree is come against thee, O thou inhabitant of the land: the time is come, near is the day of tumult, and not the joyful call on the mountains.
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
Now will I in a short time pour out my fury over thee, and I will let out all my anger against thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy 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
And my eye shall not show pity, and I will not spare: according to thy ways will I lay [evil] on thee, and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth.
10 ecce dies ecce venit egressa est contractio floruit virga germinavit superbia
Behold the day, behold, it is coming; the evil decree is gone forth; the staff hath blossomed, presumption hath budded;
11 iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis non ex eis et non ex populo neque ex sonitu eorum et non erit requies in eis
The violence is grown up into the staff of wickedness: nothing is left of them, and nothing of their multitude, and nothing of theirs; and there shall be no lamenting for them.
12 venit tempus adpropinquavit dies qui emit non laetetur et qui vendit non lugeat quia ira super omnem populum eius
The time is coming, the day occurreth; let the buyer not rejoice, and let the seller not mourn; for wrath is against all her 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
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although their soul were yet alive; for the vision is against all her multitude; no one shall return; but the soul of every one is fastened to his iniquity, they do not strengthen themselves [to repent].
14 canite tuba praeparentur omnes et non est qui vadat ad proelium ira enim mea super universum populum eius
They have blown the cornet, every one maketh himself ready; but no one goeth to the battle; for my wrath is against all her 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 without, and the pestilence and the famine are within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and he that is in the city, him shall famine and pestilence devour.
16 et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis et erunt in montibus quasi columbae convallium omnes trepidi unusquisque in iniquitate sua
But they that escape of them shall escape, and they shall be on the mountains like the doves of the valleys, all of which are moaning, every one in his iniquity.
17 omnes manus dissolventur et omnia genua fluent aquis
All hands become feeble, and all knees go into water.
18 et accingent se ciliciis et operiet eos formido et in omni facie confusio et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium
And people gird themselves with sackcloth, and shuddering covereth them: and upon all faces there is shame, and upon all their heads there is baldness.
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
Their silver shall they cast into the streets, and their gold shall be as though it were unclean: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the Lord; they shall not satisfy their souls, and not fill their bowels; because it was the stumbling-block for 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
And as for the beauty of his ornament, which he had instituted for [their] pride: even therein did they make the images of their abominations, their detestable things; therefore have I rendered it unclean for them.
21 et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum et impiis terrae in praedam et contaminabunt illud
And I will give it up into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil: and they shall pollute it.
22 et avertam faciem meam ab eis et violabunt arcanum meum et introibunt in illud emissarii et contaminabunt illud
And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall pollute my place where I dwelt in secret; and therein shall barbarians enter and pollute it.
23 fac conclusionem quoniam terra plena est iudicio sanguinum et civitas plena iniquitate
Make chains; for the land is full of blood-guiltiness, 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
Therefore will I bring the worst of nations, and they shall take possession of their houses: I will also cause the pride of the mighty to cease; and their holy places shall be polluted.
25 angustia superveniente requirent pacem et non erit
Destruction cometh: and they will seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 conturbatio super conturbationem veniet et auditus super auditum et quaerent visionem de propheta et lex peribit a sacerdote et consilium a senioribus
Mishap shall come upon mishap, and report shall be spread upon report: and then will they seek a vision from the prophet; but the law shall be lost from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
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 shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with distress, and the hands of the people of the land shall be powerless: after their way will I do unto them, and according to their own manners will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
