Ezekiel 12
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, you are living among an uncontrolled people, who have eyes to see but see not, and ears for hearing but they do not give ear; for they are an uncontrolled people.
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 And you, O son of man, by day, before their eyes, get ready the vessels of one who is taken away, and go away from your place to another place before their eyes: it may be that they will see, though they are an uncontrolled people.
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 By day, before their eyes, take out your vessels like those of one who is taken away: and go out in the evening before their eyes, like those who are taken away as prisoners.
et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum: tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
5 Make a hole in the wall, before their eyes, and go out through it.
Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem, et egredieris per eum.
6 And before their eyes, take your goods on your back and go out in the dark; go with your face covered: for I have made you a sign to the children of Israel.
In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis; in caligine effereris: faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram, quia portentum dedi te domui Israël.
7 And I did as I was ordered: I took out my vessels by day, like those of one who is taken away, and in the evening I made a hole through the wall with a tent-pin; and in the dark I went out, taking my things on my back before their eyes.
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 the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens:
9 Son of man, has not Israel, the uncontrolled people, said to you, What are you doing?
Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israël, domus exasperans: Quid tu facis?
10 You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.
Dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Jerusalem, et super omnem domum Israël, quæ est in medio eorum.
11 Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done to them: they will go away as prisoners.
Dic: Ego portentum vestrum: quomodo feci, sic fiet illis: in transmigrationem et in captivitatem ibunt.
12 And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.
Et dux qui est in medio eorum, in humeris portabitur; in caligine egredietur: parietem perfodient, ut educant eum; facies ejus operietur, ut non videat oculo terram.
13 And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him.
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 all his helpers round about him and all his armies I will send in flight to every wind; and I will let loose a sword after them.
Et omnes qui circa eum sunt, præsidium ejus, et agmina ejus, dispergam in omnem ventum, et gladium evaginabo post eos.
15 And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send them in flight among the nations, driving them out through the countries.
Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
16 But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
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 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
18 Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;
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, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.
Et dices ad populum terræ: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad eos qui habitant in Jerusalem, in terra Israël: Panem suum in sollicitudine comedent, et aquam suam in desolatione bibent: ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua, propter iniquitatem omnium qui habitant in ea.
20 And the peopled towns will be made waste, and the land will become a wonder; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Et civitates quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
21 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
22 Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?
Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israël, dicentium: In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio?
23 For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect of every vision.
Ideo dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quiescere faciam proverbium istud, neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israël: et loquere ad eos quod appropinquaverint dies, et sermo omnis visionis.
24 For there will be no more false visions or smooth use of secret arts in Israel.
Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israël:
25 For I am the Lord; I will say the word and what I say I will do; it will not be put off: for in your days, O uncontrolled people, I will say the word and do it, says the Lord.
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 the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
27 Son of man, see, the children of Israel say, The vision which he sees is for the days which are a long way off, and his words are of times still far away.
Fili hominis, ecce domus Israël dicentium: Visio quam hic videt, in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat.
28 Say to them then, This is what the Lord has said: Not one of my words will be put off any longer, but what I say I will do, says the Lord.
Propterea dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus: verbum quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.
