Prophetia Ezechielis, 28

1. Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:

1. The word of the LORD came to me:

2. “Fili hominis, dic principi Tyri: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum, et dixisti: “Deus ego sum et in cathedra deorum sedeo in corde maris!”, cum sis homo et non Deus, et dedisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei.

2. "Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD: "Because your heart is proud, and you have said, `I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas,' yet you are but a man, and no god, though you consider yourself as wise as a god --

3. Ecce sapientior es tu Danel, omne secretum non est absconditum a te,

3. you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you;

4. in sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi opes et acquisisti aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis;

4. by your wisdom and your understanding you have gotten wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;

5. in multitudine sapientiae tuae et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi opes, et elevatum est cor tuum in opibus tuis.

5. by your great wisdom in trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth --

6. Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod fecisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei,

6. therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you consider yourself as wise as a god,

7. idcirco ecce ego adducam super te alienos violentissimos gentium; et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiae tuae et polluent splendorem tuum.

7. therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, the most terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor.

8. In fossam detrahent te, et morieris interitu occisorum in corde maris.

8. They shall thrust you down into the Pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas.

9. Numquid dicens loqueris: “Deus ego sum!” coram interficientibus te, cum sis homo et non Deus in manu occidentium te?

9. Will you still say, `I am a god,' in the presence of those who slay you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who wound you?

10. Morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum, quia ego locutus sum”, ait Dominus Deus.

10. You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, says the Lord GOD."

11. Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens: “Fili hominis, leva planctum super regem Tyri

11. Moreover the word of the LORD came to me:

12. et dices ei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tu signaculum perfectum, plenus sapientia et perfectus decore;

12. "Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD: "You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13. in deliciis paradisi Dei fuisti, omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum: sardius, topazius et iaspis, chrysolithus et onyx et beryllus, sapphirus et carbunculus et smaragdus, aurum opus caelaturae in te; in die, qua conditus es, praeparata sunt.

13. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, carnelian, topaz, and jasper, chrysolite, beryl, and onyx, sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald; and wrought in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared.

14. Cum cherub extento et protegente te posui te, in monte sancto Dei fuisti, in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti,

14. With an anointed guardian cherub I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.

15. perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuae, donec inventa est iniquitas in te.

15. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.

16. In multitudine negotiationis tuae repleta sunt interiora tua iniquitate, et peccasti. Et eieci te de monte Dei, et perdidit te cherub protegens de medio lapidum ignitorum.

16. In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and the guardian cherub drove you out from the midst of the stones of fire.

17. Elevatum est cor tuum in decore tuo; perdidisti sapientiam tuam propter splendorem tuum: in terram proieci te, ante faciem regum dedi te, ut cernerent te.

17. Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you.

18. In multitudine iniquitatum tuarum et iniquitate negotiationis tuae polluisti sanctuaria tua; producam ergo ignem de medio tui, qui comedat te, et dabo te in cinerem super terram in conspectu omnium videntium te.

18. By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought forth fire from the midst of you; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who saw you.

19. Omnes, qui viderint te, in gentibus obstupescent super te; in horrorem factus es et non eris in perpetuum”.

19. All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more for ever."

20. Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:

20. The word of the LORD came to me:

21. “Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem et propheta de ea

21. "Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her

22. et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, Sidon, et glorificabor in medio tui, et scient quia ego Dominus, cum fecero in ea iudicia et sanctificatus fuero in ea.

22. and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will manifest my glory in the midst of you. And they shall know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments in her, and manifest my holiness in her;

23. Et immittam ei pestilentiam et sanguinem in plateis eius, et corruent interfecti in medio eius gladio per circuitum, et scient quia ego Dominus.

23. for I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the slain shall fall in the midst of her, by the sword that is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

24. Et non erit ultra domui Israel stimulus amaritudinis et spina dolorem inferens undique per circuitum eorum, qui adversantur eis, et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.

24. "And for the house of Israel there shall be no more a brier to prick or a thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.

25. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quando congregavero domum Israel de populis, in quibus dispersi sunt, sanctificabor in eis coram gentibus, et habitabunt in terra sua, quam dedi servo meo Iacob;

25. "Thus says the Lord GOD: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

26. et habitabunt in ea securi et aedificabunt domos plantabuntque vineas et habitabunt confidenter, cum fecero iudicia in omnibus, qui adversantur eis per circuitum, et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum”.

26. And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God."
