< Ezekiel 22 >

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
2 And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
et tu fili hominis num iudicas num iudicas civitatem sanguinum
3 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her!
et ostendes ei omnes abominationes suas et dices haec dicit Dominus Deus civitas effundens sanguinem in medio sui ut veniat tempus eius et quae fecit idola contra semet ipsam ut pollueretur
4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
in sanguine tuo qui a te effusus est deliquisti et in idolis tuis quae fecisti polluta es et adpropinquare fecisti dies tuos et adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum propterea dedi te obprobrium gentibus et inrisionem universis terris
5 Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one [and] full of tumult.
quae iuxta sunt et quae procul a te triumphabunt de te sordida nobilis grandis interitu
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
ecce principes Israhel singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem
7 In thee have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of thee, have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
patrem et matrem contumeliis adfecerunt in te advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te
8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
sanctuaria mea sprevistis et sabbata mea polluistis
9 Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood: and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee 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 thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was unclean in her separation.
verecundiora patris discoperuerunt in te inmunditiam menstruatae humiliaverunt in te
11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath 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 thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem usuram et superabundantiam accepisti et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris meique oblita es ait Dominus Deus
13 Behold, therefore, I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
ecce conplosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam quam fecisti et super sanguinem qui effusus est in medio tui
14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
numquid sustinebit cor tuum aut praevalebunt manus tuae in diebus quos ego faciam tibi ego Dominus locutus sum et faciam
15 And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
et dispergam te in nationes et ventilabo te in terras et deficere faciam inmunditiam tuam a te
16 And thou shalt be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
et possidebo te in conspectu gentium et scies quia ego Dominus
17 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
18 Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross unto me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
fili hominis versa est mihi domus Israhel in scoriam omnes isti aes et stagnum et ferrum et plumbum in medio fornacis scoria argenti facti sunt
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye are all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam propterea ecce ego congregabo vos in medium Hierusalem
20 As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
congregatione argenti et aeris et ferri et stagni et plumbi in medium fornacis ut succendam in eam ignem ad conflandum sic congregabo in furore meo et in ira mea et requiescam et conflabo vos
21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shalt be melted in the midst thereof.
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 shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
ut conflatur argentum in medio fornacis sic eritis in medio eius et scietis quia ego Dominus effuderim indignationem meam super vos
23 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
24 Son of man, say unto her, thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
fili hominis dic ei tu es terra inmunda et non conpluta in die furoris
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof.
coniuratio prophetarum in medio eius sicut leo rugiens capiensque praedam animam devoraverunt opes et pretium acceperunt viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius
26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid 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 habuere distantiam et inter pollutum et mundum non intellexerunt et a sabbatis meis averterunt oculos suos et coinquinabar in medio eorum
27 Her princes in the midst thereof 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 praedam ad effundendum sanguinem et perdendas animas et avare sectanda lucra
28 And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
prophetae autem eius liniebant eos absque temperamento videntes vana et divinantes eis mendacium dicentes haec dicit Dominus Deus cum Dominus non sit locutus
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
populi terrae calumniabantur calumniam et rapiebant violenter egenum et pauperem adfligebant et advenam opprimebant calumnia absque iudicio
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the fence, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
et quaesivi 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 mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
et effudi super eos indignationem meam in igne irae meae consumpsi eos viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi ait Dominus Deus
