< Ezekiel 5 >

1 Thou therefore son of man Take thee a sharp cutting instrument, a barber’s razor, shalt thou take thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy chin, —and shalt take the balances for weighing, and shalt divide the hair.
Et tu fili hominis sume tibi gladium acutum, radentem pilos: et assumes eum, et duces per caput tuum, et per barbam tuam: et assumes tibi stateram ponderis, et divides eos.
2 A third part in the fire, shalt thou burn in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled, —and thou shalt take a third part, thou shalt smite it with the cuting instrument round about it, and a third part, shalt thou scatter to the wind, and, a sword, will I, make bare after them;
Tertiam partem igni combures in medio civitatis, iuxta completionem dierum obsidionis: et assumes tertiam partem, et concides gladio in circuitu eius: tertiam vero aliam disperges in ventum, et gladium nudabo post eos.
3 and thou shalt take from thence, a few in number, —and shalt bind them in thy skirts;
Et sumes inde parvum numerum: et ligabis eos in summitate pallii tui.
4 and of them, again take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire, -therefrom, shall go forth a fire unto all the house of Israel.
Et ex eis rursum tolles, et proiicies eos in medio ignis, et combures eos igni: et ex eo egredietur ignis in omnem domum Israel.
5 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, This, is Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations, I placed her, — and of the countries round about her;
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ista est Ierusalem, in medio Gentium posui eam, et in circuitu eius terras.
6 But she hath changed my regulations into lawlessness, more than the nations, And my statutes more than the countries which are round bout her, For my regulations, have they rejected, And in my statutes, have they not walked.
Et contempsit iudicia mea, ut plus esset impia quam Gentes: et præcepta mea ultra quam terræ, quæ in circuitu eius sunt. iudicia enim mea proiecerunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt.
7 Therefore, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh. Because ye have become more rebellious than the nations who are round about you, In my statutes, have not walked. And my regulations, have not done, And according to the regulations of the nations which are round about you, have not done:
Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia superastis Gentes, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et iudicia mea non fecistis, et iuxta iudicia Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, non estis operati;
8 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I am against thee, even I, Therefore will I, execute in thy midst, judgments, in the eyes of the nations;
Ideo hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, et ipse ego faciam in medio tui iudicia in oculis Gentium.
9 Yea I will execute upon thee that which I have not executed, And like unto which I will not execute again, - Because of all thine abominations.
et faciam in te quod non feci, et quibus similia ultra non faciam propter omnes abominationes tuas.
10 Therefore, fathers will eat sons in thy midst, And sons will eat fathers, — And I will execute upon thee judgments, And will scatter the whole remnant of thee, to every wind.
Ideo patres comedent filios in medio tui, et filii comedent patres suos, et faciam in te iudicia, et ventilabo universas reliquias tuas in omnem ventum.
11 Therefore as I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, — Surely because my sanctuary, thou hast defiled, with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations Even I also, will cut off, and mine eye, shall not spare, Yea even I will not pity.
Idcirco vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: Nisi pro eo quod sanctum meum violasti in omnibus offensionibus tuis, et in cunctis abominationibus tuis: ego quoque confringam, et non parcet oculus meus, et non miserebor.
12 The third part of thee by pestilence, shall die, and by famine, be consumed in thy midst And the third part by the sword, shall fall round about thee, - And the third part to every wind, will I scatter, and a sword, will I make bare after them.
Tertia pars tui peste morietur, et fame consumetur in medio tui: et tertia pars tui in gladio cadet in circuitu tuo: tertiam vero partem tuam in omnem ventum dispergam, et gladium evaginabo post eos.
13 So shall mine anger have an end, And I will cause mine indignation, to find rest, upon them, and will console myself, - And they shall know that, I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy, when mine indignation hath come to an end, upon them.
Et complebo furorem meum, et requiescere faciam indignationem meam in eis, et consolabor: et scient quia ego Dominus locutus sum in zelo meo, cum implevero indignationem meam in eis.
14 And I will deliver thee up to desolation and reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, —in the eyes of every passer-by.
Et dabo te in desertum, et in opprobrium Gentibus, quæ in circuitu tuo sunt, in conspectu omnis prætereuntis.
15 So shall it become a reproach and an insult a warning and an astonishment, to the nations that are round about thee, —in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation, I, Yahweh have spoken:
Et eris opprobrium, et blasphemia, exemplum, et stupor in Gentibus, quæ in circuitu tuo sunt, cum fecero in te iudicia in furore, et in indignatione, et in increpationibus iræ.
16 In that I have sent the malignant arrows of famine among them which were for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, —and famine, will I increase upon you, and will break for you the staff of bread.
Ego Dominus locutus sum: Quando misero sagittas famis pessimas in eos: quæ erunt mortiferæ, et quas mittam ut disperdam vos: et famem congregabo super vos, et conteram in vobis baculum panis.
17 So will I send upon you famine and mischievous beast and they shall bereave thee, —and pestilence and blood, shall pass through thee, —and a sword, will I bring in upon thee, I Yahweh, have spoken.
Et immittam in vos famem, et bestias pessimas usque ad internecionem: et pestilentia, et sanguis transibunt per te, et gladium inducam super te. ego Dominus locutus sum.
