Prophetia Ezechielis, 6

1. et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2. fili hominis pone faciem tuam ad montes Israël et prophetabis ad eos

2. Son of man, set thy face towards the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them.

3. et dices montes Israël audite verbum Domini Dei hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus rupibus et vallibus ecce ego inducam super vos gladium et disperdam excelsa vestra

3. And say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus Faith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the rocks, and the valleys: Behold, I will bring upon you the sword, and I will destroy your high places.

4. et demoliar aras vestras et confringentur simulacra vestra et deiciam interfectos vestros ante idola vestra

4. And I will throw down your altars, and your idols shall be broken in pieces: and I will cast down your slain before your idols.

5. et dabo cadavera filiorum Israël ante faciem simulacrorum vestrorum et dispergam ossa vestra circum aras vestras

5. And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before your idols: and I will scatter Sour bones round about your altars,

6. in omnibus habitationibus vestris urbes desertæ erunt et excelsa demolientur et dissipabuntur et interibunt aræ vestræ et confringentur et cessabunt idola vestra et conterentur delubra vestra et delebuntur opera vestra

6. In all your dwelling places. The cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be thrown down, and destroyed, and your altars shall be abolished, and shall be broken in pieces: and your idols shall be no more, and your temples shall be destroyed, and your works shall be defaced.

7. et cadet interfectus in medio vestri et scietis quoniam ego Dominus

7. And the slain shall fall in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

8. et relinquam in vobis eos qui fugerint gladium in gentibus cum dispersero vos in terris

8. And I will leave in you some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when I shall have scattered you, through the countries.

9. et recordabuntur mei liberati vestri in gentibus ad quas captivi ducti sunt quia contrivi cor eorum fornicans et recedens a me et oculos eorum fornicantes post idola sua et displicebunt sibimet super malis quæ fecerunt in universis abominationibus suis

9. And they that are saved of you shall remember me amongst the nations to which they are carried captives: because I have broken their heart that was faithless, and revolted from me: and their eyes that went a fornicating after their idols: and they shall be displeased with themselves because of the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

10. et scient quia ego Dominus non frustra locutus sum ut facerem eis malum hoc

10. And they shall know that I the Lord have not spoken in vain that I would do this evil to them.

11. hæc dicit Dominus Deus percute manu tua et adlide pedem tuum et dic eheu ad omnes abominationes malorum domus Israël qui gladio fame peste ruituri sunt

11. Thus saith the Lord God: Strike with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say: Alas, for all the abominations of the evils of the house of Israel: for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine and by the pestilence.

12. qui longe est peste morietur qui autem prope gladio corruet et qui relictus fuerit et obsessus fame morietur et conpleam indignationem meam in eis

12. He that is far off shall die of the pestilence: and he that is near, shall fall by the sword: and he that remaineth, and is besieged, shall die by the famine: and I will accomplish my indignation upon them.

13. et scietis quia ego Dominus cum fuerint interfecti vestri in medio idolorum vestrorum in circuitu ararum vestrarum in omni colle excelso in cunctis summitatibus montium et subtus omne lignum nemorosum et subtus universam quercum frondosam locum ubi accenderunt tura redolentia universis idolis suis

13. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain shall be amongst your idols, round about your altars, in every high hill, and on all the tops of mountains, and under every woody tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they burnt sweet smelling frankincense to all their idols.

14. et extendam manum meam super eos et faciam terram desolatam et destitutam a deserto Deblatha in omnibus habitationibus eorum et scient quia ego Dominus

14. And I will stretch forth my hand upon them: and I will make the land desolate, and abandoned from the desert of Deblatha in all their dwelling places: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
