Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 et tu fili hominis haec dicit Dominus Deus terrae Israhel finis venit finis super quattuor plagas terrae
Thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the land of Israel: —
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 cometh, the end cometh, Upon the four corners of the land! Now cometh the end upon thee! For I will send my anger upon thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways, And will recompense upon thee all thine 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 mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; But I will recompense thy ways upon thee, And thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
5 haec dicit Dominus Deus adflictio una adflictio ecce venit
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an unheard-of evil, behold, it cometh!
6 finis venit venit finis evigilavit adversum te ecce venit
The end cometh, the end cometh! It awaketh against thee, behold, it cometh!
7 venit contractio super te qui habitas in terra venit tempus prope est dies occisionis et non gloriae montium
Thy fate cometh upon thee, thou that dwellest in the land! The time is come, The day of tumult is near, When no sound of joy shall be upon 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 shortly pour out my fury upon thee, And accomplish mine anger against thee; And I will judge thee according to thy ways, And recompense upon thee all thine 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 mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; I will recompense thee according to thy ways, And thine abominations shall come upon thee; And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, smite you.
10 ecce dies ecce venit egressa est contractio floruit virga germinavit superbia
Behold, the day, behold, it cometh! The destiny draweth near; The rod hath blossomed, pride hath flourished.
11 iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis non ex eis et non ex populo neque ex sonitu eorum et non erit requies in eis
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; None of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of their crowd; Nor shall there be wailing for them.
12 venit tempus adpropinquavit dies qui emit non laetetur et qui vendit non lugeat quia ira super omnem populum eius
The time cometh, the day draweth near! Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn; For wrath is against their 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
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, Though he be yet alive; For the vision against their whole multitude shall not return void, And none that liveth in his iniquity shall strengthen himself
14 canite tuba praeparentur omnes et non est qui vadat ad proelium ira enim mea super universum populum eius
“Blow ye the trumpet, and let all be ready!” Yet none goeth to the battle; For mine anger is against their 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 without, and pestilence and famine within; He that is in the field shall die by the sword; And he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis et erunt in montibus quasi columbae convallium omnes trepidi unusquisque in iniquitate sua
And those of them that escape shall be upon the mountains like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17 omnes manus dissolventur et omnia genua fluent aquis
All hands shall be feeble, And all knees shall flow with water.
18 et accingent se ciliciis et operiet eos formido et in omni facie confusio et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium
They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, And horror shall cover them. And upon all their faces shall be shame, And upon all their heads 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 an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of Jehovah; Their hunger shall not be satisfied, Nor their body filled with it; For it was the stumbling-block of 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
For the beauty of their ornaments they turned into pride, And the images of their abominations and of their detestable things they made with it; Therefore will I make it to them as an unclean thing.
21 et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum et impiis terrae in praedam et contaminabunt illud
And I will give it into the hands of 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 my face from them, So that my secret place shall be polluted; Robbers shall enter into it, and pollute it.
23 fac conclusionem quoniam terra plena est iudicio sanguinum et civitas plena iniquitate
Make a chain! 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 most cruel among the nations, And they shall possess your houses; I will also make the pride of the strong to cease, And their holy places shall be defiled.
25 angustia superveniente requirent pacem et non erit
Destruction cometh; And they shall seek peace, and not find it.
26 conturbatio super conturbationem veniet et auditus super auditum et quaerent visionem de propheta et lex peribit a sacerdote et consilium a senioribus
Calamity shall come upon calamity, And rumor shall be upon rumor; And they shall seek a vision from the prophet in vain; Instruction shall perish from the priests, And 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 shall mourn, And the prince shall be clothed with amazement; And the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them, And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
