Ezekiel 12
1 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man. In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou dwell, — Who have eyes to see—and have not seen. Ears have they to hear—and have no heard, For a perverse house, they are.
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 Thou, therefore Son of man, Prepare thee baggage for exile, and exile thyself, by day, before their eyes, —so shalt thou exile thyself out of thy place unto another place before their eyes, peradventure they will consider— though a perverse house, they are.
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 Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage as baggage for exile, by day before their eyes, —and thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to exile.
et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum: tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
5 Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall, —and carry forth through it.
Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem, et egredieris per eum.
6 Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it. In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover so that thou see not the land; For a sign, have I appointed thee to the house 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 so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile by day, and in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth—on to my shoulder, I lifted it, 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 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me in the morning, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens:
9 Son of man, Have not the house of Israel the perverse house, said unto thee, — What art thou doing?
Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israël, domus exasperans: Quid tu facis?
10 Say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, — [For] the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and [for] all the house of Israel such as are in their midst.
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. shall it be done to them, Into exile—into captivity, shall they go.
Dic: Ego portentum vestrum: quomodo feci, sic fiet illis: in transmigrationem et in captivitatem ibunt.
12 Yea, the Bearer who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break to bear forth through it, — His face, shall he cover, to the end that, his own eye, may not see the land.
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 Then will I spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon. in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet there, shall he die!
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 who are round about him to help him and all his troops, will I scatter to every wind, —and, a sword, will I make bare after them.
Et omnes qui circa eum sunt, præsidium ejus, et agmina ejus, dispergam in omnem ventum, et gladium evaginabo post eos.
15 So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh, — By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout the lands.
Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
16 Yet will I leave remaining of them men easily counted, from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence, —that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
18 Son of man, Thy bread with trembling, shalt thou eat, — And, thy water in agitation and in fear, shalt thou drink.
Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede, sed et aquam tuam in festinatione et mœrore bibe.
19 Then shalt thou say unto the people of the land, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem upon the soil of Israel, Their bread with anxious care, shall they eat, And, their water in astonishment, shall they drink, — That her land, may be deserted, of her fulness, because of the violence of all them who dwell therein:
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 Yea, the cities that are inhabited, shall be laid waste, And, the land, shall become, an astonishment, — So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Et civitates quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
21 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
22 Son of man What is this proverb ye have, concerning the soil of Israel, saying, — The days, are prolonged, Therefore shall every vision come to nought?
Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israël, dicentium: In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio?
23 Therefore say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, I will cause this proverb to cease, And they shall use it as a proverb no more in Israel, — But speak unto them, The days, are drawn near, And the substance 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 shall no more be— Any vision of falsehood Or divination of deceit, In the midst of the house of Israel.
Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israël:
25 For, I, Yahweh will speak whatsoever word I please to speak, And it shall be done, It shall not be delayed any more, — For in your own days, O perverse house, will I speak a word and perform it, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
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 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
27 Son of man. Lo! the house of Israel are saying, the vision which he seeth is for many days, Yea for times far away, hath he prophesied.
Fili hominis, ecce domus Israël dicentium: Visio quam hic videt, in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat.
28 Therefore say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, None of my words shall be delayed any more, — Whatsoever word I speak, then shall it be performed, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Propterea dic ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus: verbum quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.
