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

It happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of Jehovah fell there on 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 saw, and look, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.

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

He put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north; where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

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

Look, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance 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 he said to me, "Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north." So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and see, northward of 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 to me, "Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you shall again see yet other great abominations."

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

He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, look, a hole in the wall.

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

Then he said to me, "Son of man, dig now in the wall": and when I had dug in the wall, look, a door.

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

He said to me, "Go in, and see 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 see, every form of crawling creatures, and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.

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

There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the 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 he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, 'Jehovah doesn't see us. Jehovah has forsaken the land.'"

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

He said also to me, "You shall again see yet other great abominations which 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 Jehovah's house which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.

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

Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? You shall again see yet 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

He brought me into the inner court of Jehovah's house; and see, at the door of Jehovah's temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward Jehovah's temple, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping 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 to me, "Have you seen this, 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 turned again to provoke me to anger: and look, 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 I will also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
