< Ezekiel 22 >

1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 "You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
Et tu fili hominis nonne iudicas, nonne iudicas civitatem sanguinum?
3 You shall say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Woe to the city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her.
Et ostendes ei omnes abominationes suas, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Civitas effundens sanguinem in medio sui ut veniat tempus eius: et quæ fecit idola contra semetipsam ut pollueretur.
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
In sanguine tuo, qui a te effusus est, deliquisti: et in idolis tuis, quæ fecisti, polluta es: et appropinquare fecisti dies tuos, et adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum: propterea dedi te opprobrium Gentibus, et irrisionem universis terris.
5 Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one and full of tumult.
Quæ iuxta sunt, et quæ procul a te, triumphabunt de te: sordida, nobilis, grandis interitu.
6 "'"Look, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
Ecce principes Israel singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem.
7 In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
Patrem, et matrem contumeliis affecerunt in te, advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui, pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te:
8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Sanctuaria mea sprevisti, et Sabbata mea polluisti.
9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.
Viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem, et super montes comederunt in te, scelus operati sunt in medio tui.
10 In you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
Verecundiora patris discooperuerunt in te, immunditiam menstruatæ humiliaverunt in te.
11 One has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Et unusquisque in uxorem proximi sui operatus est abominationem, et socer nurum suam polluit nefarie, frater sororem suam filiam patris sui oppressit in te.
12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,' says Jehovah.
Munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem: usuram, et superabundantiam accepisti, et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris: meique oblita es, ait Dominus Deus.
13 "'"Look, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
Ecce complosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam, quam fecisti, et super sanguinem, qui effusus est in medio tui.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
Numquid sustinebit cor tuum, aut prævalebunt manus tuæ in diebus, quos ego faciam tibi? Ego Dominus locutus sum, et faciam.
15 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
Et dispergam te in nationes, et ventilabo te in terras, et deficere faciam immunditiam tuam a te.
16 You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am Jehovah."'"
Et possidebo te in conspectu Gentium: et scies quia ego Dominus.
17 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
18 "Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
Fili hominis, versa est mihi domus Israel in scoriam: omnes isti æs, et stannum, et ferrum, et plumbum in medio fornacis: scoria argenti facti sunt.
19 Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Because you have all become dross, therefore, look, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam, propterea ecce ego congregabo vos in medio Ierusalem,
20 As they gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
congregatione argenti, et æris, et stanni, et ferri, et plumbi in medio fornacis: ut succendam in ea ignem ad conflandum. Sic congregabo in furore meo, et in ira mea, et requiescam: et conflabo vos.
21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.
Et congregabo vos, et succendam vos in igne furoris mei, et conflabimini in medio eius.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so you will be melted in its midst; and you will know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my wrath on you.'"
Ut conflatur argentum in medio fornacis, sic eritis in medio eius: et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum effuderim indignationem meam super vos.
23 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
24 "Son of man, tell her, 'You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation,'
Fili hominis, dic ei: Tu es terra immunda, et non compluta in die furoris.
25 whose princes within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in its midst.
Coniuratio prophetarum in medio eius, sicut leo rugiens, rapiensque prædam, animas devoraverunt, opes et pretium acceperunt, viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius.
26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Sacerdotes eius contempserunt legem meam, et polluerunt sanctuaria mea: inter sanctum et profanum non habuerunt distantiam: et inter pollutum et mundum non intellexerunt: et a Sabbatis meis averterunt oculos suos, et coinquinabar in medio eorum.
27 Her princes in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
Principes eius in medio illius, quasi lupi rapientes prædam ad effundendum sanguinem, et ad perdendas animas, et avare ad sectanda lucra.
28 Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah,' when Jehovah has not spoken.
Prophetæ autem eius liniebant eos absque temperamento, videntes vana, et divinantes eis mendacium, dicentes: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus, cum Dominus non sit locutus.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
Populi terræ calumniabantur calumniam, et rapiebant violenter: egenum, et pauperem affligebant, et advenam opprimebant calumnia absque iudicio.
30 "And I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.
Et quæsivi de eis virum, qui interponeret sepem, et staret oppositus contra me pro terra, ne dissiparem eam: et non inveni.
31 Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says Jehovah."
Et effudi super eos indignationem meam, in igne iræ meæ consumpsi eos: viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi, ait Dominus Deus.
