Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
Fili hominis pone faciem tuam ad Ierusalem, et stilla ad sanctuaria, et propheta contra humum Israel:
3 and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
Et dices terrae Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, et eiiciam gladium meum de vagina sua, et occidam in te iustum, et impium.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Pro eo autem quod occidi in te iustum, et impium, idcirco egredietur gladius meus de vagina sua ad omnem carnem ab Austro usque ad Aquilonem:
5 and all flesh shall know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
Ut sciat omnis caro quia ego Dominus eduxi gladium meum de vagina sua irrevocabilem.
6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
Et tu fili hominis ingemisce in contritione lumborum, et in amaritudinibus ingemisce coram eis.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
Cumque dixerint ad te: Quare tu gemis? dices: Pro auditu: quia venit, et tabescet omne cor, et dissolventur universae manus, et infirmabitur omnis spiritus, et per cuncta genua fluent aquae: ecce venit, et fiet, ait Dominus Deus.
8 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished:
Fili hominis propheta, et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Loquere: Gladius, gladius exacutus est, et limatus.
10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree.
Ut caedat victimas, exacutus est: ut splendeat, limatus est: qui moves sceptrum filii mei, succidisti omne lignum.
11 And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Et dedi eum ad levigandum ut teneatur manu: iste exacutus est gladius, et iste limatus est ut sit in manu interficientis.
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Clama, et ulula fili hominis, quia hic factus est in populo meo, hic in cunctis ducibus Israel, qui fugerant: gladio traditi sunt cum populo meo, idcirco plaude super foemur,
13 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord GOD.
quia probatus est: et hoc, cum sceptrum subverterit, et non erit, dicit Dominus Deus.
14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their chambers.
Tu ergo fili hominis propheta, et percute manu ad manum, et duplicetur gladius, ac triplicetur gladius interfectorum: hic est gladius occisionis magnae, qui obstupescere eos facit,
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
et corde tabescere, et multiplicat ruinas. In omnibus portis eorum dedi conturbationem gladii acuti, et limati ad fulgendum, amicti ad caedem.
16 Gather thee together, go to the right; set thyself in array, go to the left; whithersoever thy face is set.
Exacuere, vade ad dexteram, sive ad sinistram, quocumque faciei tuae est appetitus.
17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will satisfy my fury: I the LORD have spoken it.
Quin et ego plaudam manu ad manum, et implebo indignationem meam ego Dominus locutus sum.
18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
Et tu fili hominis pone tibi duas vias, ut veniat gladius regis Babylonis: de terra una egredientur ambae: et manu capiet coniecturam, in capite viae civitatis coniiciet.
20 Thou shalt appoint a way, for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
Viam pones ut veniat gladius ad Rabbath filiorum Ammon, et ad Iudam in Ierusalem munitissimam.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
Stetit enim rex Babylonis in bivio, in capite duarum viarum, divinationem quaerens, commiscens sagittas: interrogavit idola, exta consuluit.
22 In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounts, to build forts.
Ad dexteram eius facta est divinatio super Ierusalem ut ponat arietes, ut aperiat os in caede, ut elevet vocem in ululatu, ut ponat arietes contra portas, ut comportet aggerem, ut aedificet munitiones.
23 And it shall be unto them as a vain divination in their sight, which have sworn oaths unto them: but he bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
Eritque quasi consulens frustra oraculum in oculis eorum, et sabbatorum otium imitans: ipse autem recordabitur iniquitatis ad capiendum.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
Idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod recordati estis iniquitatis vestrae, et revelastis praevaricationes vestras, et apparuerunt peccata vestra in omnibus cogitationibus vestris: pro eo, inquam, quod recordati estis, manu capiemini.
25 And thou, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
Tu autem profane, impie dux Israel, cuius venit dies in tempore iniquitatis praefinita:
26 thus saith the Lord GOD: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown: this [shall be] no more the same: exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Aufer cidarim, tolle coronam: nonne haec est, quae humilem sublevavit, et sublimem humiliavit?
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
Iniquitatem, iniquitatem, iniquitatem ponam eam: et hoc non factum est donec veniret cuius est iudicium, et tradam ei.
28 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning:
Et tu fili hominis propheta, et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus ad filios Ammon, et ad opprobrium eorum, et dices: Mucro, mucro evagina te ad occidendum, lima te ut interficias, et fulgeas,
29 whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end.
cum tibi viderentur vana, et divinarentur mendacia: ut dareris super colla vulneratorum impiorum, quorum venit dies in tempore iniquitatis praefinita.
30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth, will I judge thee.
Revertere ad vaginam tuam in loco, in quo creatus es, in terra nativitatis tuae iudicabo te,
31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath: and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
et effundam super te indignationem meam: in igne furoris mei sufflabo in te, daboque te in manus hominum insipientium, et fabricantium interitum.
32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
Igni eris cibus, sanguis tuus erit in medio terrae, oblivioni traderis: quia ego Dominus locutus sum.
