Prophetia Ezechielis, 22
1. Et factum est verbum Do mini ad me dicens:
1. Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2. “Et tu, fili hominis, num iudicas, num iudicas civitatem sanguinum?
2. "And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then declare to her all her abominable deeds.
3. Et ostendes ei omnes abominationes suas et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Civitas effundens sanguinem in medio sui, ut veniat tempus eius et, quae fecit idola contra semetipsam, ut pollueretur.
3. You shall say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols to defile herself!
4. In sanguine tuo, qui a te effusus est, deliquisti; et in idolis tuis, quae fecisti, polluta es; et appropinquare fecisti dies tuos et adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum. Propterea dedi te opprobrium gentibus et irrisionem universis terris.
4. You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and defiled by the idols which you have made; and you have brought your day near, the appointed time of your years has come. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5. Quae iuxta sunt et quae procul a te, triumphabunt de te, sordibus famosa, grandis tumultu.
5. Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
6. Ecce principes Israel singuli pro brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem.
6. "Behold, the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood.
7. Pater et mater contempti sunt in te, advena oppressus est in medio tui, pupillum et viduam afflixerunt apud te.
7. Father and mother are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow are wronged in you.
8. Sanctuaria mea sprevisti et sabbata mea profanasti.
8. You have despised my holy things, and profaned my sabbaths.
9. Viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem et super montes comederunt in te; scelus operati sunt in medio tui.
9. There are men in you who slander to shed blood, and men in you who eat upon the mountains; men commit lewdness in your midst.
10. Verecundiora patris discooperuerunt in te, immunditiam menstruatae humiliaverunt in te;
10. In you men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they humble women who are unclean in their impurity.
11. et unus in uxorem proximi sui operatus est abominationem, et alter nurum suam polluit nefarie; frater sororem suam, filiam patris sui, oppressit in te.
11. One commits abomination with his neighbor's wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; another in you defiles his sister, his father's daughter.
12. Munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem, usuram et fenus accepisti et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris meique oblita es, ait Dominus Deus.
12. In you men take bribes to shed blood; you take interest and increase and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; and you have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
13. Ecce complosi manus meas super lucrum tuum, quod fecisti, et super sanguinem, qui effusus est in medio tui.
13. "Behold, therefore, I strike my hands together at the dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been in the midst of you.
14. Numquid sustinebit cor tuum, aut praevalebunt manus tuae in diebus, quos ego faciam tibi? Ego Dominus locutus sum et faciam;
14. Can your courage endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.
15. et dispergam te in nationes et ventilabo te in terras et deficere faciam immunditiam tuam a te:
15. I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the countries, and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
16. et profanabo me in te in conspectu gentium, et scies quia ego Dominus”.
16. And I shall be profaned through you in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am the LORD."
17. Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:
17. And the word of the LORD came to me:
18. “Fili hominis, versa est mihi domus Israel in scoriam; omnes isti argentum et aes et stannum et ferrum et plumbum in medio fornacis, scoria facti sunt.
18. "Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them, silver and bronze and tin and iron and lead in the furnace, have become dross.
19. Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam, propterea ecce ego congregabo vos in medio Ierusalem
19. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20. congregatione argenti et aeris et ferri et plumbi et stanni in medio fornacis, ut succendatur in ea ignis ad conflandum: sic congregabo in furore meo et in ira mea et ponam et conflabo vos
20. As men gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into a furnace, to blow the fire upon it in order to melt it; so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will put you in and melt you.
21. et congregabo vos et succendam vos in igne furoris mei, et conflabimini in medio eius.
21. I will gather you and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst of it.
22. Ut conflatur argentum in medio fornacis, sic conflabimini in medio eius; et scietis quia ego Dominus effuderim indignationem meam super vos”.
22. As silver is melted in a furnace, so you shall be melted in the midst of it; and you shall know that I the LORD have poured out my wrath upon you."
23. Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:
23. And the word of the LORD came to me:
24. “Fili hominis, dic ei: Tu es terra, super quam non cecidit pluvia neque imber in die furoris,
24. "Son of man, say to her, You are a land that is not cleansed, or rained upon in the day of indignation.
25. cuius duces in medio eius sicut leo rugiens capiensque praedam: animas devoraverunt, opes et pretium acceperunt, viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius.
25. Her princes in the midst of her are like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her.
26. Sacerdotes eius contempserunt legem meam et polluerunt sanctuaria mea, inter sanctum et profanum non habuerunt distantiam et inter pollutum et mundum non docuerunt distinguere et a sabbatis meis averterunt oculos suos, et coinquinabar in medio eorum.
26. Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have disregarded my sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
27. Principes eius in medio illius quasi lupi rapientes praedam ad effundendum sanguinem et perdendas animas et avare sectanda lucra.
27. Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves tearing the prey, shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain.
28. Prophetae autem eius liniebant eis omnia calce, videntes vana et divinantes eis mendacium, dicentes: “Haec dicit Dominus Deus”, cum Dominus non sit locutus.
28. And her prophets have daubed for them with whitewash, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, `Thus says the Lord GOD,' when the LORD has not spoken.
29. Populus terrae calumniabatur calumniam et rapiebat violenter; egenum et pauperem affligebant et advenam opprimebant absque iudicio.
29. The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery; they have oppressed the poor and needy, and have extorted from the sojourner without redress.
30. Et quaesivi de eis virum, qui interponeret saepem et staret in confractione contra me pro terra, ne dissiparem eam, et non inveni.
30. And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.
31. Et effudi super eos indignationem meam, in igne irae meae consumpsi eos, viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi”, ait Dominus Deus.
31. Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath; their way have I requited upon their heads, says the Lord GOD."
