< Ezekiel 12 >

1 The word of Jehovah also came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, thou dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not, for they are a rebellious house.
Fili hominis in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas: qui oculos habent ad videndum, et non vident: et aures ad audiendum, et non audiunt: quia domus exasperans est.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight. And thou shall move from thy place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
Tu ergo fili hominis, fac tibi vasa transmigrationis, et transmigrabis per diem coram eis: transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum, si forte aspiciant: quia domus exasperans est.
4 And thou shall bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving. And thou shall go forth thyself at evening in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
Et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum: tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out by that.
Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem: et egredieris per eum.
6 Thou shall bear it upon thy shoulder in their sight, and carry it forth in the dark. Thou shall cover thy face, that thou not see the land. For I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel.
In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis, in caligine effereris: faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram. Quia portentum dedi te domui Israel.
7 And I did so as I was commanded. I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
Feci ergo sicut præceperat mihi Dominus: vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem: et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu: et in caligine egressus sum, in humeris portatus in conspectu eorum.
8 And in the morning the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens:
9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What are thou doing?
Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israel, domus exasperans: Quid tu facis?
10 Say thou to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: This burden concerns the ruler in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
Dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Ierusalem, et super omnem domum Israel, quæ est in medio eorum.
11 Say, I am your sign. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.
Dic: Ego portentum vestrum: quomodo feci, sic fiet illis. In transmigrationem, et in captivitatem ibunt.
12 And the ruler who is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth. They shall dig through the wall to carry out by it. He shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
Et dux, qui est in medio eorum, in humeris portabitur, in caligine egredietur: parietem perfodient ut educant eum: facies eius operietur ut non videat oculo terram.
13 I will also spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
Et extendam rete meum super eum, et capietur in sagena mea: et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldæorum: et ipsam non videbit, ibique morietur.
14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are round about him to help him, and all his groups. And I will draw out the sword after them.
Et omnes, qui circa eum sunt, præsidium eius, et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum: et gladium evaginabo post eos.
15 And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in Gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio, et fame, et pestilentia: ut enarrent omnia scelera eorum in Gentibus, ad quas ingredientur: et scient quia ego Dominus.
17 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness.
Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede: sed et aquam tuam in festinatione, et mœrore bibe.
19 And say to the people of the land, Thus says the lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate of all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
Et dices ad populum terræ: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad eos, qui habitant in Ierusalem in terra Israel: Panem suum in solicitudine comedent, et aquam suam in desolatione bibent: ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua, propter iniquitatem omnium, qui habitant in ea.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Et civitates, quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
21 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
22 Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israel? dicentium: In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio.
23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel, but say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
Ideo dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quiescere faciam proverbium istud, neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israel: et loquere ad eos quod appropinquaverint dies, et sermo omnis visionis.
24 For there shall no more be any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israel.
25 For I am Jehovah. I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed. It shall be no more deferred. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it, says the lord Jehovah.
Quia ego Dominus loquar: et quodcumque locutus fuero verbum, fiet, et non prolongabitur amplius: sed in diebus vestris domus exasperans loquar verbum, et faciam illud, dicit Dominus Deus.
26 Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
27 Son of man, behold, those of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
Fili hominis, ecce domus Israel dicentium: Visio, quam hic videt, in dies multos: et in tempora longa iste prophetat.
28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says the lord Jehovah.
Propterea dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus: verbum, quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.
