Prophetia Ezechielis, 25

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 contra filios Ammon et prophetabis de eis

2. Son of man, set thy face against the children of Ammon, and thou shalt prophesy of them.

3. et dices filiis Ammon audite verbum Domini Dei hæc dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod dixisti euge euge super sanctuarium meum quia pollutum est et super terram Israël quoniam desolata est et super domum Juda quoniam ducti sunt in captivitatem

3. And thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because they are led into captivity:

4. idcirco ego tradam te filiis orientalibus in hereditatem et conlocabunt caulas suas in te et ponent in te tentoria sua ipsi comedent fruges tuas et ipsi bibent lac tuum

4. Therefore will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk.

5. daboque Rabbath in habitaculum camelorum et filios Ammon in cubile pecorum et scietis quia ego Dominus

5. And I will make Rabbath a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

6. quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod plausisti manu et percussisti pede et gavisa es ex toto affectu super terram Israël

6. For thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced with all thy heart against the land of Israel:

7. idcirco ecce ego extendam manum meam super te et tradam te in direptionem gentium et interficiam te de populis et perdam de terris et conteram et scies quia ego Dominus

7. Therefore behold I: will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations, and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

8. hæc dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod dixerunt Moab et Seir ecce sicut omnes gentes domus Juda

8. Thus saith the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations:

9. idcirco ecce ego aperiam umerum Moab de civitatibus de civitatibus inquam ejus et de finibus ejus inclitas terræ Bethiesimoth et Beelmeon et Cariathaim

9. Therefore behold I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and his borders, the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim,

10. filiis orientis cum filiis Ammon et dabo eam in hereditatem ut non sit memoria ultra filiorum Ammon in gentibus

10. To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations.

11. et in Moab faciam judicia et scient quia ego Dominus

11. And I will execute judgments in Moab: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

12. hæc dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod fecit Idumea ultionem ut se vindicaret de filiis Juda peccavitque delinquens et vindictam expetivit de eis

12. Thus saith the Lord God: Because Edom hath taken vengeance to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and hath greatly offended, and hath sought revenge of them:

13. idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus extendam manum meam super Idumeam et auferam de ea hominem et jumentum et faciam eam desertum ab austro et qui sunt in Dædan gladio cadent

13. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword.

14. et dabo ultionem meam super Idumeam per manum populi mei Israël et facient in Edom juxta iram meam et furorem meum et scient vindictam meam dicit Dominus Deus

14. And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.

15. hæc dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod fecerunt Palestini in vindictam et ulti se sunt toto animo interficientes et implentes inimicitias veteres

15. Thus saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their mind, destroying and satisfying old enmities :

16. propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego extendam manum meam super Palestinos et interficiam interfectores et perdam reliquias maritimæ regionis

16. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17. faciamque in eis ultiones magnas arguens in furore et scient quia ego Dominus cum dedero vindictam meam super eos

17. And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
