Hiezechielis Prophetæ 5
1 et tu fili hominis sume tibi gladium acutum radentem pilos adsumes eum et duces per caput tuum et per barbam tuam et adsumes tibi stateram ponderis et divides eos
'And thou, son of man, take to thee a sharp weapon, the barber's razor thou dost take to thee, and thou hast caused [it] to pass over thy head, and over thy beard, and thou hast taken to thee weighing scales, and apportioned them.
2 tertiam partem igni conbures in medio civitatis iuxta conpletionem dierum obsidionis et adsumens tertiam partem concides gladio in circuitu eius tertiam vero aliam disperges in ventum et gladium nudabo post eos
A third part with fire thou dost burn in the midst of the city, at the fulness of the days of the siege; and thou hast taken the third part, thou dost smite with a weapon round about it; and the third part thou dost scatter to the wind, and a weapon I draw out after them.
3 et sumes inde parvum numerum et ligabis eos in summitate pallii tui
And thou hast taken thence a few in number — and hast bound them in thy skirts;
4 et ex eis rursum tolles et proicies in medio ignis et conbures eos igni ex eo egredietur ignis in omnem domum Israhel
and of them thou dost take again, and hast cast them unto the midst of the fire, and hast burned them in the fire — out of it cometh forth a fire unto all the house of Israel.
5 haec dicit Dominus Deus ista est Hierusalem in medio gentium posui eam et in circuitu eius terras
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: this [is] Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations I have set her, And round about her [are] the lands.
6 et contempsit iudicia mea ut plus esset impia quam gentes et praecepta mea ultra quam terrae quae in circuitu eius sunt iudicia enim mea proiecerunt et in praeceptis meis non ambulaverunt
And she changeth My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And My statutes more than the lands that [are] round about her, For against My judgments they have kicked, And My statutes — they have not walked in them.
7 idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus quia superastis gentes quae in circuitu vestro sunt in praeceptis meis non ambulastis et iudicia mea non fecistis et iuxta iudicia gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt non estis operati
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your multiplying above the nations that [are] around you, In My statutes ye have not walked, And My judgments ye have not done, According to the judgments of the nations That [are] round about you ye have not done.
8 ideo haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te et ipse ego faciam in medio tui iudicia in oculis gentium
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, even I, And I have done in thy midst judgments, Before the eyes of the nations.
9 et faciam in te quae non feci et quibus similia ultra non faciam propter omnes abominationes tuas
And I have done in thee that which I have not done, And that which I do not its like again, Because of all thine abominations.
10 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
Therefore fathers do eat sons in thy midst, And sons eat their fathers, And I have done in thee judgments, And have scattered all thy remnant to every wind.
11 idcirco vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus nisi pro eo quod sanctum meum violasti in omnibus offensionibus tuis et in omnibus abominationibus tuis ego quoque confringam et non parcet oculus meus et non miserebor
Therefore, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah: Because My sanctuary thou hast defiled, With all thy detestable things, And with all thine abominations, Mine eye pitieth not, and I also spare not. Do not even I also diminish?
12 tertia tui pars peste morietur et fame consumetur in medio tui et tertia tui pars gladio cadet in circuitu tuo tertiam vero partem tuam in omnem ventum dispergam et gladium evaginabo post eos
Thy third part — by pestilence they die, And by famine are consumed in thy midst, And the third part, by sword they fall round about thee, And the third part, to every wind I scatter, And a sword I draw out after them.
13 et conpleam 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
And completed hath been Mine anger, And I have caused My fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing My fury on them.
14 et dabo te in desertum et in obprobrium in gentibus quae in circuitu tuo sunt in conspectu omnis praetereuntis
And I give thee for a waste, And for a reproach among nations that [are] round about thee, Before the eyes of every passer by.
15 et eris obprobrium et blasphemia exemplum et stupor in gentibus quae in circuitu tuo sunt cum fecero in te iudicia in furore et in indignatione et in increpationibus irae
And it hath been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an astonishment, To nations that [are] round about thee, In My doing in thee judgments, In anger and fury, and in furious reproofs, I, Jehovah, have spoken.
16 ego Dominus locutus sum quando misero sagittas famis pessimas in eos quae erunt mortiferae et quas mittam ut disperdam vos et famem congregabo super vos et conteram vobis baculum panis
In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And famine I am adding upon you, And I have broken to you the staff of bread.
17 et inmittam in vos famem et bestias pessimas usque ad internicionem et pestilentia et sanguis transibunt per te et gladium inducam super te ego Dominus locutus sum
And I have sent on you famine and evil beasts, And they have bereaved thee, And pestilence and blood pass over on thee, And a sword I do bring in against thee, I, Jehovah, have spoken!'
