Jezekiel 16
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, testify to Jerusalem [of] her iniquities;
Fili hominis notas fac Ierusalem abominationes suas:
3 and you shall say, Thus says the Lord to Jerusalem; Your root and your birth are of the land of Chanaan: your father was an Amorite, and your mother a Chettite.
et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Ierusalem: Radix tua, et generatio tua de terra Chanaan: pater tuus Amorrhaeus, et mater tua Cethaea.
4 And [as for] your birth in the day wherein you were born, you did not bind your breasts, and you were not washed in water, neither was you salted with salt, neither was you swathed in swaddling-bands.
Et quando nata es in die ortus tui non est praecisus umbilicus tuus, et aqua non es lota in salutem, nec sale salita, nec involuta pannis.
5 Nor did mine eye pity you, to do for you one of all these things, to feel at all for you; but you were cast out on the face of the field, because of the deformity of your person, in the day wherein you were born.
Non pepercit super te oculus ut faceret tibi unum de his, misertus tui: sed proiecta es super faciem terrae in abiectione animae tuae, in die qua nata es.
6 And I passed by to you, and saw you polluted in your blood; and I said to you, [Let there be] life out of your blood:
Transiens autem per te, vidi te conculcari in sanguine tuo. et dixi tibi cum esses in sanguine tuo: Vive. dixi, inquam, tibi: In sanguine tuo vive.
7 increase; I have made you as the springing grass of the field. So you did increase and grow, and did enter into great cities: your breasts were set, and your hair grew, whereas you were naked and bare.
Multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te: et multiplicata es, et grandis effecta, et ingressa es, et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem: ubera tua intumuerunt, et pilus tuus germinavit: et eras nuda, et confusione plena.
8 And I passed by you and saw you, and, behold, [it was] your time and a time of resting; and I spread my wings over you, and covered your shame, and swear to you: and I entered into covenant with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
Et transivi per te, et vidi te: et ecce tempus tuum, tempus amantium: et expandi amictum meum super te, et operui ignominiam tuam. Et iuravi tibi, et ingressus sum pactum tecum: ait Dominus Deus: et facta es mihi.
9 And I washed you in water, and washed your blood from you, and anointed you with oil.
Et lavi te aqua, et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te: et unxi te oleo.
10 And I clothed you with embroidered [garments], and clothed you beneath with purple, and girded you with fine linen, and clothed you with silk,
Et vestivi te discoloribus, et calceavi te hyacintho: et cinxi te bysso, et indui te subtilibus.
11 and decked you also with ornaments, and put bracelets on your hands, and a necklace on your neck.
Et ornavi te ornamento, et dedi armillas in manibus tuis, et torquem circa collum tuum.
12 And I put a pendant on your nostril, and rings in your ears, and a crown of glory on your head.
Et dedi inaurem super os tuum, et circulos auribus tuis, et coronam decoris in capite tuo.
13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and variegated work: you did eat fine flour, and oil, and honey, and did become extremely beautiful.
Et ornata es auro, et argento, et vestita es bysso, et polymito, similam, et mel, et oleum comedisti, et decora facta es vehementer nimis: et profecisti in regnum.
14 And your name went forth among the nations for your beauty: because it was perfected with elegance, [and] in the comeliness which I put upon you, says the Lord.
Et egressum est nomen tuum in Gentes propter speciem tuam: quia perfecta eras in decore meo, quem posueram super te, dicit Dominus Deus.
15 You did trust in your beauty, and did go a-whoring because of your renown, and did pour out your fornication on every passer by.
Et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua fornicata es in nomine tuo: et exposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti ut eius fieres.
16 And you did take of your garments, and made to yourself idols of needlework, and did go a-whoring after them; therefore you shall never come in, nor shall [the like] take place.
Et sumens de vestimentis meis fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta: et fornicata es super eis, sicut non est factum, neque futurum est.
17 And you took your fair ornaments of my gold and of my silver, of what I gave you, and you made to yourself male images, and you did commit whoredom with them.
Et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo, atque argento meo, quae dedi tibi: et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas, et fornicata es in eis.
18 And you did take your variegated apparel and did clothe them, and you did set before them mine oil and mine incense.
Et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria, et restita es eis: et oleum meum, et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis.
19 And [you took] my bread which I gave you, ([yes] I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey) and did set them before them for a sweet smelling savor: yes, it was so, says the Lord.
Et panem meum, quem dedi tibi, similam, et oleum, et mel, quibus enutrivi te, posuisti in conspectu eorum in odorem suavitatis, et factum est, ait Dominus Deus.
20 And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore, and did sacrifice [these] to them to be destroyed. You did go a-whoring as [if that were] little,
Et tulisti filios tuos, et filias tuas, quas generasti mihi: et immolasti eis ad devorandum. Numquid parva est fornicatio tua?
21 and did kill your children, and gave them up in offering them to them for an expiation.
Immolasti filios meos, et dedisti, illos consecrans, eis.
22 This is beyond all your fornication, and you did not remember your infancy, when you were naked and bare, [and] did live [though] defiled in your blood.
Et post omnes abominationes tuas, et fornicationes, non es recordata dierum adolescentiae tuae, quando eras nuda, et confusione plena, conculcata in sanguine tuo.
23 And it came to pass after all your wickedness, says the Lord,
Et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam (vae, vae tibi, ait Dominus Deus)
24 that you did build yourself a house of fornication, and did make yourself a public place in every street;
et aedificasti tibi lupanar, et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis.
25 and on the head of every way you did set up your fornications, and did defile your beauty, and did open your feet to every passer by, and did multiply your fornication.
Ad omne caput viae aedificasti signum prostitutionis tuae: et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum: et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti, et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas.
26 And you did go a-whoring after the children of Egypt your neighbors, great of flesh; and did go a-whoring, often to provoke me to anger.
Et fornicata es cum filiis Aegypti vicinis tuis magnarum carnium: et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad irritandum me.
27 And if I stretch out my hand against you, then will I abolish your statutes, and deliver [you] up to the wills of them that hate you, [even to] the daughters of the Philistines that turned you aside from the way wherein you sinned.
Ecce ego extendam manum meam super te, et auferam iustificationem tuam: et dabo te in animas odientium te filiarum Palaestinarum, quae erubescunt in via tua scelerata.
28 And you did go a-whoring to the daughters of Assur, and not even thus was you satisfied; yes, you did go a-whoring, and was not satisfied.
Et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum, eo quod necdum fueris expleta: et postquam fornicata es, nec sic es satiata.
29 And you did multiply your covenants with the land of the Chaldeans; and not even with these was you satisfied.
Et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in Terra Chanaan cum Chaldaeis: et nec sic satiata es.
30 Why should I make a covenant with your daughter, says the Lord, while you do all these things, the works of a harlot? and you have gone a-whoring in a threefold degree with your daughters.
In quo mundabo cor tuum, ait Dominus Deus; cum facias omnia haec opera mulieris meretricis, et procacis?
31 You have built a house of harlotry in every top of a way, and have set up your high place in every street; and you did become as a harlot gathering hires.
Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viae, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea: nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium,
32 An adulteress resembles you, taking rewards of her husband.
sed quasi mulier adultera, quae super virum suum inducit alienos.
33 She has even given rewards to all that went a-whoring after her, and you have given rewards to all your lovers, yes, you did load them with rewards, that they should come to you from every side for your fornication.
Omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes: tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis, et dona donabas eis vi intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum.
34 And there has happened in you perverseness in your fornication beyond [other] women, and they have committed fornication with you, in that you give hires over and above, and hires were not given to you; and [thus] perverseness happened in you.
Factumque est in te contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis, et post te non erit fornicatio: in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes, et mercedes non accepisti, factum est in te contrarium.
35 Therefore, harlot, hear the word of the Lord:
Propterea meretrix audi verbum Domini.
36 Thus says the Lord, Because you have poured forth your money, therefore your shame shall be discovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and [with] regard to all the imaginations of your iniquities, and for the blood of your children which you have given to them.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia effusum est aes tuum, et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis super amatores tuos, et super idola abominationum tuarum in sanguine filiorum tuorum, quos dedisti eis:
37 Therefore, behold, I [will] gather all your lovers with whom you have consorted, and all whom you have loved, with all whom you did hate; and I will gather them against you round about, and will expose your wickedness to them, and they shall see all your shame.
Ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos, quibus commixta es, et omnes, quos dilexisti cum universis, quos oderas: et congregabo eos super te undique, et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis, et videbunt omnem turpitudinem tuam.
38 And I will be avenged on you with the vengeance of an adulteress, and I will bring upon you blood of fury and jealousy.
Et iudicabo te iudiciis adulterarum, et effundentium sanguinem: et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli.
39 And I will deliver you into their hands, and they shall break down your house of harlotry, and destroy your high place; and they shall strip you of your garments, and shall take your proud ornaments, and leave you naked and bare.
Et dabo te in manus eorum, et destruent lupanar tuum: et demolientur prostibulum tuum: et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et auferent vasa decoris tui: et derelinquent te nudam, plenamque ignominia:
40 And they shall bring multitudes upon you, and they shall stone you with stones, and pierce you with their swords.
et adducent super te multitudinem, et lapidabunt te lapidibus, et trucidabunt te gladiis suis.
41 And they shall burn your houses with fire, and shall execute vengeance on you in the sight of many women: and I will turn you back from harlotry, and I will no more give [you] rewards.
Et comburent domos tuas igne, et facient in te iudicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum: et desines fornicari, et mercedes ultra non dabis.
42 So will I slacken my fury against you, and my jealousy shall be removed from you, and I will rest, and be no more careful [for you].
Et requiescet indignatio mea in te: et auferetur zelus meus a te, et quiescam, nec irascar amplius.
43 Because you did not remember your infancy, and you did grieve me in all these things; therefore, behold, I have recompensed your ways upon your head, says the Lord: for thus have you wrought ungodliness above all your [other] iniquities.
Eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adolescentiae tuae, et provocasti me in omnibus his: quapropter et ego vias tuas in capite tuo dedi, ait Dominus Deus, et non feci iuxta scelera tua in omnibus abominationibus tuis.
44 These are all the things they have spoken against you in a proverb, saying,
Ecce omnis, qui dicit vulgo proverbium, in te assumet illud, dicens: Sicut mater, ita et filia eius.
45 As is the mother, so is your mother's daughter: you are she that has rejected her husband and her children; and the sisters of your sisters have rejected their husbands and their children: your mother was a Chettite, and [your] father an Amorite.
Filia matris tuae es tu, quae proiecit virum suum, et filios suos: et soror sororum tuarum es tu, quae proiecerunt viros suos, et filios suos: mater vestra Cethaea, et pater vester Amorrhaeus.
46 Your elder sister who dwells on your left hand is Samaria, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, that dwells on the right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Et soror tua maior, Samaria, ipsa et filiae eius, quae habitant ad sinistram tuam: soror autem tua minor te, quae habitat a dextris tuis, Sodoma, et filiae eius.
47 Yet notwithstanding you have not walked in their ways, neither have you done according to their iniquities within a little, but you have exceeded them in all your ways.
Sed nec in viis earum ambulasti, neque secundum scelera earum fecisti pauxillum minus: pene sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis.
48 [As] I live, says the Lord, this Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.
Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua ipsa, et filiae eius, sicut fecisti tu, et filiae tuae.
49 Moreover this was the sin of your sister Sodom, pride: she and her daughters lived in pleasure, in fullness of bread [and] in abundance: this belonged to her and her daughters, and they helped not the hand of the poor and needy.
Ecce haec fuit iniquitas Sodomae sororis tuae, superbia, saturitas panis et abundantia, et otium ipsius, et filiarum eius: et manum egeno, et pauperi non porrigebant.
50 And they boasted, and wrought iniquities before me: so I cut them off as I saw [fit].
Et elevatae sunt, et fecerunt abominationes coram me: et abstuli eas sicut vidisti.
51 Also Samaria has not sinned according to half of your sins; but you have multiplied your iniquities beyond them, and you have justified your sisters in all your iniquities which you have committed.
Et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum non peccavit: sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis, et iustificasti sorores tuas in omnibus abominationibus tuis, quas operata es.
52 You therefore bear your punishment, for that you have corrupted your sisters by your sins which you have committed beyond them; and you have made them [appear] more righteous than yourself: you therefore be ashamed, and bear your dishonor, in that you have justified your sisters.
Ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam, quae vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis, sceleratius agens ab eis: iustificatae sunt enim a te: ergo et tu confundere, et porta ignominiam tuam, quae iustificasti sorores tuas.
53 And I will turn their captivity, [even] the captivity of Sodom and her daughters; and I will turn the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; and I will turn your captivity in the midst of them:
Et convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis, et conversione Samariae, et filiarum eius: et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum,
54 that you may bear your punishment, and be dishonored for all that you have done in provoking me to anger.
ut portes ignominiam tuam, et confundaris in omnibus, quae fecisti consolans eas.
55 And your sister Sodom and her daughters shall be restored as they were at the beginning, and you and your daughters shall be restored as you were at the beginning.
Et soror tua Sodoma, et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et Samaria, et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam: et tu, et filiae tuae revertemini ad antiquitatem vestram.
56 And surely your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the days of your pride:
Non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo, in die superbiae tuae,
57 before your wickedness was discovered, even now you are the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, [even] of the daughters of the Philistines that compass you round about.
antequam revelaretur malitia tua: sicut hoc tempore in opprobrium filiarum Syriae, et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palaesthinarum, quae ambiunt te per gyrum.
58 [As for] your ungodliness and your iniquities, you have borne them, says the Lord.
scelus tuum, et ignominiam tuam tu portasti, ait Dominus Deus.
59 Thus says the Lord; I will even do to you as you have done, as you have dealt shamefully in these things to transgress my covenant.
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et faciam tibi sicut despexisti iuramentum, ut irritum faceres pactum:
60 And I will remember my covenant [made] with you in the days of your infancy, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adolescentiae tuae: et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum.
61 Then you shall remember your way, and shall be utterly dishonored when you receive your elder sisters with your younger ones: and I will give them to you for building up, but not by your covenant.
Et recordaberis viarum tuarum, et confunderis: cum receperis sorores tuas te maiores cum minoribus tuis: et dabo eas tibi in filias, sed non ex pacto tuo.
62 And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the Lord:
Et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum: et scies quia ego Dominus,
63 that you may remember, and be ashamed, and may no more be able to open your mouth for your shame, when I am reconciled to you for all that you have done, says the Lord.
ut recorderis, et confundaris, et non sit tibi ultra aperire os prae confusione tua, cum placatus tibi fuero in omnibus, quae fecisti, ait Dominus Deus.
