Ezekiel 23
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, Two women, daughters of one mother, there were;
Fili hominis, duæ mulieres filiæ matris unius fuerunt,
3 And they became unchaste in Egypt, In their youth, became they unchaste, There, were handled their breasts, And there, were pressed their virgin bosoms.
et fornicatæ sunt in Ægypto, in adolescentia sua fornicatæ sunt: ibi subacta sunt ubera earum, et fractæ sunt mammæ pubertatis earum.
4 And their names were Oholah the elder And Oholibah—her sister, And they became mine and bare sons and daughters, - And as for their names, Samaria was Oholah, And Jerusalem, was Oholibah.
Nomina autem earum Oolla maior, et Ooliba soror eius minor: et habui eas, et pepererunt filios, et filias. Porro earum nomina Samaria Oolla, et Ierusalem Ooliba.
5 Then became Oholah unchaste after she had become mine- And lusted after her lovers, For Assyrians, so warlike,
Fornicata est igitur super me Oolla, et insanivit in amatores suos, in Assyrios propinquantes,
6 Clothed in blue Governors and deputies, Attractive young men all of them, -Horsemen riding on horses.
vestitos hyacintho, principes, et magistratus, iuvenes cupidinis, universos equites, ascensores equorum.
7 So she bestowed her unchastities upon them, The choicest men of Assyria all of them, - And, with whomsoever she lusted after-with all their manufactured gods, she defiled herself.
Et dedit fornicationes suas super eos electos, filios Assyriorum universos: et in omnibus, in quos insanivit, in immunditiis eorum polluta est.
8 And, her unchaste doings from the time she was in Egypt, had she not forsaken, For with her, had they lain in her youth, Yea they had pressed her virgin bosoms, - and had poured out their unchastity upon her.
Insuper et fornicationes suas, quas habuerat in Ægypto, non reliquit: nam et illi dormierunt cum ea in adolescentia eius, et illi confregerunt ubera pubertatis eius, et effuderunt fornicationem suam super eam.
9 therefore, did I deliver her into the hand of her lovers, - into the hand of the sons of Assyria, after whom she lusted:
Propterea tradidi eam in manus amatorum suorum, in manus filiorum Assur, super quorum insanivit libidine.
10 They disclosed her shame, Her sons and her daughters: , took they away, And herself—with the sword, they slew, — Thus became she a by-word among women, when judgments, they had executed upon her.
Ipsi discooperuerunt ignominiam eius, filios, et filias eius tulerunt, et ipsam occiderunt gladio: et factæ sunt famosæ mulieres, et iudicia perpetraverunt in ea.
11 And though her sister Oholibah saw, Yet became she more corrupt in her lust than the other, - And her unchaste doings exceeded the unchaste doings of her sister.
Quod cum vidisset soror eius Ooliba, plusquam illa insanivit libidine: et fornicationem suam super fornicationem sororis suæ
12 After the sons of Assyria: , she lusted Governors and deputies so warlike. Clothed in splendid array, Horsemen, riding on horses, Attractive young men, all of them.
ad filios Assyriorum præbuit impudenter, ducibus, et magistratibus ad se venientibus indutis veste varia, equitibus qui vectabantur equis, et adolescentibus forma cunctis egregia.
13 So I saw that she defiled herself, — One way, had they both.
Et vidi quod polluta esset via una ambarum.
14 Yet did she add, unto her unchaste doings, when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, likenesses of Chaldeans, Portrayed with vermilion:
Et auxit fornicationes suas: cumque vidisset viros depictos in pariete, imagines Chaldæorum expressas coloribus,
15 Girded with waistcloths upon their loins With overhanging high turbans upon their heads, In appearance, knights all of them, -The likeness of the sons of Babylon of Chaldea, the land of their birth.
et accinctos balteis renes, et tiaras tinctas in capitibus eorum, formam ducum omnium, similitudinem filiorum Babylonis, terræque Chaldæorum, in qua orti sunt,
16 Then lusted she after them, as soon as her eyes beheld them, — And she sent messengers unto them to Chaldea.
insanivit super eos concupiscentia oculorum suorum, et misit nuncios ad eos in Chaldæam.
17 Then came in unto her the sons of Babylon into the bed of endearments, and defiled her with their unchaste doings, - And she defiled herself with them, And then was her soul torn from them.
Cumque venissent ad eam filii Babylonis ad cubile mammarum, polluerunt eam stupris suis, et polluta est ab eis, et saturata est anima eius ab illis.
18 Thus disclosed she her unchaste desires, And disclosed her shame, - So my soul was torn from her, Just as my soul had been torn from her sister.
Denudavit quoque fornicationes suas, et discooperuit ignominiam suam: et recessit anima mea ab ea, sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore eius.
19 Yea she multiplied her unchaste desires, -calling to mind the days of her youth, when she was unchaste in the land of Egypt; -
Multiplicavit enim fornicationes suas, recordans dies adolescentiæ suæ, quibus fornicata est in Terra Ægypti.
20 So she lusted after their courtiers, - Whose flesh was the flesh of asses, and Whose issue was the issue of horses.
Et insanivit libidine super concubitum eorum, quorum carnes sunt ut carnes asinorum: et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum.
21 Yea thou didst look about for the lewdness of thy youth, - When were pressed by the Egyptians. thy bosoms, When they handled thy youthful breasts.
Et visitasti scelus adolescentiæ tuæ, quando subacta sunt in Ægypto ubera tua, et confractæ sunt mammæ pubertatis tuæ.
22 Therefore, O Oholibah, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! rousing up thy lovers against thee, Even them from whom thy soul hath been torn, - And I will bring them against thee from every side:
Propterea Ooliba, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego suscitabo omnes amatores tuos contra te, de quibus satiata est anima tua: et congregabo eos adversum te in circuitu,
23 The sons of Babylon and all Chaldeans Pekod and Shoa and Koa, All the sons of Assyria with them, — Attractive young men Governors and deputies, all of them. Knights and men of renown, Riders on horses all of them;
filios Babylonis, et universos Chaldæos, nobiles, tyrannosque et principes, omnes filios Assyriorum, iuvenes forma egregia, duces, et magistratus universos, principes principum, et nominatos ascensores equorum:
24 And they shall come upon thee— With battle-axe, chariot and wheel And with a gathered host of peoples: Shield and buckler and helmet, will they array against thee on every side, - And I will put before them judgment, And they shall judge thee with their judgments;
et venient super te instructi curru, et rota, multitudo populorum: lorica, et clypeo, et galea armabuntur contra te undique: et dabo coram eis iudicium, et iudicabunt te iudiciis suis.
25 When I set forth my jealousy against thee, Then will they deal with thee in indignation: Thy nose and thine ears, will they remove, And that which is left of thee, by the sword, shall fall, — They, will take away thy sons and thy daughters, And that which is left of thee, shall be devoured by the fire;
Et ponam zelum meum in te, quem exercent tecum in furore: nasum tuum, et aures tuas præcident: et quæ remanserint, gladio concident: ipsi filios tuos, et filias tuas capient, et novissimum tuum devorabitur igni.
26 And they shall strip off thy raiment, - And take away thine adorning jewels!
Et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et tollent vasa gloriæ tuæ.
27 Thus will I cause thy lewdness to cease, from thee Even thine unchastity brought from the land of Egypt, - So that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt, shalt thou not call to mind any more.
Et requiescere faciam scelus tuum de te, et fornicationem tuam de Terra Ægypti: nec levabis oculos tuos ad eos, et Ægypti non recordaberis amplius.
28 For thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! delivering thee up, into the hand of them whom thou hatest, Into the hand of them from whom thy soul hath been torn;
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego tradam te in manus eorum, quos odisti, in manus, de quibus satiata est anima tua.
29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred And take away all thy labour, And leave thee utterly naked, - And thine unchaste shame, shall be disclosed, with thy lewdness and unchastities,
Et agent tecum in odio, et tollent omnes labores tuos, et dimittent te nudam, et ignominia plenam, et revelabitur ignominia fornicationum tuarum, scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuæ.
30 These things shall be done to thee, In that thou hast gone unchastely after the nations, Because thou hast defiled thyself with their manufactured gods.
Fecerunt hæc tibi quia fornicata es post Gentes, inter quas polluta es in idolis earum.
31 In the way of thy sister, hast thou walked, Therefore will I put her cup into thy hand.
In via sororis tuæ ambulasti, et dabo calicem eius in manu tua.
32 Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, The cup of thy sister, shalt thou drink, The cup deep and large, Thou shalt become a laughingstock and a derision, much doth it contain!
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Calicem sororis tuæ bibes profundum, et latum: eris in derisum, et in subsannationem, quæ est capacissima.
33 With drunkenness and grief, shalt thou be filled, - The cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria;
Ebrietate, et dolore repleberis: calice mœroris, et tristitiæ, calice sororis tuæ Samariæ.
34 Yea thou shalt drink it and drain it out And the sherds thereof, shalt thou gnaw And thy breasts, shalt thou tear out, - For, I, have spoken, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
Et bibes illum, et epotabis usque ad fæces, et fragmenta eius devorabis, et ubera tua lacerabis: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
35 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Because thou hast forgotten me, and has cast me behind thy back, Thou also thyself, bear thou thy lewdness and thine unchaste doings.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia oblita es mei, et proiecisti me post corpus tuum, tu quoque porta scelus tuum, et fornicationes tuas.
36 And Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare thou unto them their abominations.
Et ait Dominus ad me, dicens: Fili hominis numquid iudicas Oollam, et Oolibam, et annuncias eis scelera earum?
37 For they have committed adultery. And blood, is one their hands, Yea with their manufactured gods, have they committed adultery. And even their own children whom they bare unto me, have they set apart for them to be devoured.
Quia adulteratæ sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum, et cum idolis suis fornicatæ sunt: insuper et filios suos, quos genuerunt mihi, obtulerunt eis ad devorandum.
38 Yet more, this, have they done to me, They have defiled my sanctuary, on the same day, And my sabbaths, have they profaned.
Sed et hoc fecerunt mihi: Polluerunt sanctuarium meum in die illa, et Sabbata mea profanaverunt.
39 Yea when they had slaughtered their children to their manufactured gods, then entered they into my sanctuary, on the same day, to profane it, - And lo! thus have they done in the midst of mine own house.
Cumque immolarent filios suos idolis suis, et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa ut polluerent illud: etiam hæc fecerunt in medio domus meæ.
40 Yea verily, that ye must needs send for men, ready to come in from afar, in that, a messenger, was sent unto them and lo! they came, For whom thou didst bathe thyself Paint thine eyes And deck thyself with ornaments.
Miserunt ad viros venientes de longe, ad quos nuncium miserant: itaque ecce venerunt: quibus te lavisti, et circumlinisti stibio oculos tuos, et ornata es mundo muliebri.
41 Then satest thou upon a glorious couch With a table prepared before it, — And mine incense and mine oil, didst thou set thereon.
Sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo, et mensa ornata est ante te: thymiama meum, et unguentum meum posuisti super eam.
42 The noise of careless throng also, was with her, And besides men out of the mass of mankind, there were brought in drunkards, out of the desert; And they put bracelets upon the hands of both women, And crowns of adorning upon their heads.
Et vox multitudinis exultantis erat in ea: et in viris, qui de multitudine hominum adducebantur, et veniebant de deserto, posuerunt armillas in manibus eorum, et coronas speciosas in capitibus eorum.
43 Then said I of her that was worn out with adulteries, Will they now join in her unchaste doings even hers?
Et dixi ei, quæ attrita est in adulteriis: Nunc fornicabitur in fornicatione sua etiam hæc.
44 Yet came they in unto her, as men go in unto a woman that is a harlot, — So, came they in unto Oholah, and unto Oholibah—the lewd women!
Et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem: sic ingrediebantur ad Oollam, et Oolibam mulieres nefarias.
45 But righteous men, they, shall judge them, With the judgment of adulteresses, and With the judgment of women that shed blood, — Because adulteresses, they are And blood, is on their hands.
Viri ergo iusti sunt: hi iudicabunt eas iudicio adulterarum, et iudicio effundentium sanguinem: quia adulteræ sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum.
46 For thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, - There shall be brought up against them a gathered host, Then shall they be delivered up. for a terror and for a prey,
Hæc enim dicit Dominus Deus: Adduc ad eas multitudinem, et trade eas in tumultum, et in rapinam:
47 Yea a gathered host shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters, shall they slay, And their houses—in the fire, shall they consume.
Et lapidentur lapidibus populorum, et confodiantur gladiis eorum: filios, et filias earum interficient, et domos earum igne succendent.
48 So will I make an end of lewdness out of the land, - And all women shall be disciplined, and shall not do according to your lewdness.
Et auferam scelus de terra, et discent omnes mulieres ne faciant secundum scelus earum.
49 Yea the judges Shall set your lewdness upon you, And your sins with manufactured gods, shall ye bear; So shall ye know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh.
Et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos, et peccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
