Hiezechielis Prophetæ 2

1 Hæc visio similitudinis gloriæ Domini. Et vidi, et cecidi in faciem meam, et audivi vocem loquentis. Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis sta super pedes tuos, et loquar tecum.

And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

2 Et ingressus est in me Spiritus postquam locutus est mihi, et statuit me supra pedes meos: et audivi loquentem ad me,

And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.

3 et dicentem: Fili hominis, mitto ego te ad filios Israel, ad gentes apostatrices, quæ recesserunt a me: ipsi et patres eorum prævaricati sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc.

And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day.

4 Et filii dura facie, et indomabili corde sunt, ad quos ego mitto te: et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:

For they are impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

5 Si forte vel ipsi audiant, et si forte quiescant, quoniam domus exasperans est: et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

6 Tu ergo fili hominis ne timeas eos, neque sermones eorum metuas: quoniam increduli, et subversores sunt tecum, et cum scorpionibus habitas. Verba eorum ne timeas, et vultus eorum ne formides: quia domus exasperans est.

And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

7 Loqueris ergo verba mea ad eos, si forte audiant, et quiescant: quoniam irritatores sunt.

And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

8 Tu autem fili hominis audi quæcumque loquor ad te: et noli esse exasperans sicut domus exasperatrix est: aperi os tuum et comede quæcumque ego do tibi.

But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

9 Et vidi, et ecce manus missa ad me, in qua erat involutus liber:

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, lo, a scroll was in it;

10 et expandit illum coram me, qui erat scriptus intus, et foris: et scriptæ erant in eo lamentationes, et carmen, et væ.

And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
