Hiezechielis Prophetæ 8

1 et factum est in anno sexto in sexto mense in quinta mensis ego sedebam in domo mea et senes Iuda sedebant coram me et cecidit super me ibi manus Domini Dei

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, [as] I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

2 et vidi et ecce similitudo quasi aspectus ignis ab aspectu lumborum eius et deorsum ignis et a lumbis eius et sursum quasi aspectus splendoris ut visio electri

Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

3 et emissa similitudo manus adprehendit me in cincinno capitis mei et elevavit me spiritus inter terram et caelum et adduxit in Hierusalem in visione Dei iuxta ostium interius quod respiciebat aquilonem ubi erat statutum idolum zeli ad provocandam aemulationem

And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

4 et ecce ibi gloria Dei Israhel secundum visionem quam videram in campo

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

5 et dixit ad me fili hominis leva oculos tuos ad viam aquilonis et levavi oculos meos ad viam aquilonis et ecce ab aquilone portae altaris idolum zeli in ipso introitu

Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

6 et dixit ad me fili hominis putasne vides tu quid isti faciant abominationes magnas quas domus Israhel facit hic ut procul recedam a sanctuario meo et adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores

He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? [even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations.

7 et introduxit me ad ostium atrii et vidi et ecce foramen unum in pariete

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

8 et dixit ad me fili hominis fode parietem et cum perfodissem parietem apparuit ostium unum

Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

9 et dixit ad me ingredere et vide abominationes pessimas quas isti faciunt hic

And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

10 et ingressus vidi et ecce omnis similitudo reptilium et animalium abominatio et universa idola domus Israhel depicta erant in pariete in circuitu per totum

So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

11 et septuaginta viri de senioribus domus Israhel et Hiezonias filius Saphan stabat in medio eorum stantium ante picturas et unusquisque habebat turibulum in manu sua et vapor nebulae de ture consurgebat

And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

12 et dixit ad me certe vides fili hominis quae seniores domus Israhel faciunt in tenebris unusquisque in abscondito cubiculi sui dicunt enim non videt Dominus nos dereliquit Dominus terram

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.

13 et dixit ad me adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores quas isti faciunt

He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

14 et introduxit me per ostium portae domus Domini quod respiciebat ad aquilonem et ecce ibi mulieres sedebant plangentes Adonidem

Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which [was] toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

15 et dixit ad me certe vidisti fili hominis adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores his

Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

16 et introduxit me in atrium domus Domini interius et ecce in ostio templi Domini inter vestibulum et altare quasi viginti quinque viri dorsa habentes contra templum Domini et facies ad orientem et adorabant ad ortum solis

And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

17 et dixit ad me certe vidisti fili hominis numquid leve est hoc domui Iuda ut facerent abominationes istas quas fecerunt hic quia replentes terram iniquitate conversi sunt ad inritandum me et ecce adplicant ramum ad nares suas

Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

18 ergo et ego faciam in furore non parcet oculus meus nec miserebor et cum clamaverint ad aures meas voce magna non exaudiam eos

Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, [yet] will I not hear them.
