Hiezechielis Prophetæ 7
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 Et tu fili hominis, hæc dicit Dominus Deus terræ Israel: Finis venit, venit finis super quattuor plagas terræ.
And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel: An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Nunc finis super te, et immittam furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas: et ponam contra te omnes abominationes tuas.
Now is the end upon thee; and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
4 Et non parcet oculus meus super te, et non miserebor: sed vias tuas ponam super te, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
5 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Afflictio una, afflictio ecce venit.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil! behold, it is come.
6 finis venit, venit finis, evigilavit adversum te: ecce venit.
The end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee: behold, it cometh.
7 Venit contritio super te, qui habitas in terra: venit tempus, prope est dies occisionis, et non gloriæ montium.
The doom is come unto thee, inhabitant of the land; the time is come, the day is near, — tumult, and not the joyous cry from the mountains.
8 Nunc de propinquo effundam iram meam super te, et complebo furorem meum in te: et iudicabo te iuxta vias tuas, et imponam tibi omnia scelera tua:
Now will I soon pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee; and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
9 Et non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor, sed vias tuas imponam tibi, et abominationes tuæ in medio tui erunt: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus percutiens.
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will render unto thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that it is I, Jehovah, that smite.
10 Ecce dies, ecce venit: egressa est contritio, floruit virga, germinavit superbia:
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride is full blown.
11 Iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis: non ex eis, et non ex populo, neque ex sonitu eorum: et non erit requies in eis.
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: nothing of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth, nor of the magnificence in the midst of them.
12 Venit tempus, appropinquavit dies: qui emit, non lætetur: et qui vendit, non lugeat: quia ira super omnem populum eius.
The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 Quia qui vendit, ad id, quod vendidit, non revertetur, et adhuc in viventibus vita eorum. visio enim ad omnem multitudinem eius non regredietur: et vir in iniquitate vitæ suæ non confortabitur.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, even though he were yet alive amongst the living: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof; it shall not be revoked; and none shall through his iniquity assure his life.
14 Canite tuba, præparentur omnes, et non est qui vadat ad prælium: ira enim mea super universum populum eius.
They have blown the trumpet and made all ready, but none goeth to the battle; for my fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 Gladium foris: et pestis, et fames intrinsecus: qui in agro est, gladio morietur: et qui in civitate, pestilentia, et fame devorabuntur.
The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis: et erunt in montibus quasi columbæ convallium omnes trepidi, unusquisque in iniquitate sua.
And they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one for his iniquity.
17 Omnes manus dissolventur, et omnia genua fluent aquis.
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall melt into water.
18 Et accingent se ciliciis, et operiet eos formido, et in omni facie confusio, et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium.
And they shall gird on sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 Argentum eorum foras proiicietur, et aurum eorum in sterquilinium erit. Argentum eorum, et aurum eorum non valebit liberare eos in die furoris Domini. Animam suam non saturabunt, et ventres eorum non implebuntur: quia scandalum iniquitatis eorum factum est.
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an impurity: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their belly; for it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
20 Et ornamentum monilium suorum in superbiam posuerunt, et imagines abominationum suarum, et simulachrorum fecerunt ex eo: propter hoc dedi eis illud in immunditiam:
And he set in majesty his beautiful ornament; but they made therein the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things: therefore have I made it an impurity unto them.
21 et dabo illud in manus alienorum ad diripiendum, et impiis terræ in prædam, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
22 Et avertam faciem meam ab eis, et violabunt arcanum meum: et introibunt in illud emissarii, et contaminabunt illud.
And I will turn my face from them; and they shall profane my secret [place]; and the violent shall enter into it, and profane it.
23 Fac conclusionem: quoniam terra plena est iudicio sanguinum, et civitas plena iniquitate.
Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24 Et adducam pessimos de Gentibus, et possidebunt domos eorum. et quiescere faciam superbiam potentium, et possidebunt sanctuaria eorum.
Therefore will I bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their sanctuaries shall be profaned.
25 Angustia superveniente, requirent pacem, et non erit.
Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 Conturbatio super conturbationem veniet, et auditus super auditum: et quærent visionem de propheta, et lex peribit a sacerdote, et consilium a senioribus.
Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27 Rex lugebit, et princeps induetur mœrore, et manus populi terræ conturbabuntur. Secundum viam eorum faciam eis, et secundum iudicia eorum iudicabo eos: et scient quia ego Dominus.
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with dismay, and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble: I will do unto them according to their way, and with their judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
