Hiezechielis Prophetæ 28

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,

2 Fili hominis, dic principi Tyri: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum, et dixisti: Deus ego sum, et in cathedra Dei sedi in corde maris: cum sis homo, et non Deus, et dedisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei.

Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou have said, I am a god. I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas. Yet thou are man, and not God, though thou did set thy heart as the heart of God.

3 Ecce sapientior es tu Daniele: omne secretum non est absconditum a te.

Behold, thou are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from thee.

4 In sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi fortitudinem: et acquisisti aurum, et argentum in thesauris tuis.

By thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou have gotten thee riches, and have gotten gold and silver into thy treasures.

5 In multitudine sapientiæ tuæ, et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi fortitudinem: et elevatum est cor tuum in robore tuo.

By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic thou have increased thy riches. And thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches.

6 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum quasi cor Dei:

Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because thou have set thy heart as the heart of God,

7 idcirco ecce ego adducam super te alienos robustissimos Gentium: et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiæ tuæ, et polluent decorem tuum.

therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations, and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

8 Interficient, et detrahent te: et morieris in interitu occisorum in corde maris.

They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.

9 Numquid dicens loqueris: Deus ego sum, coram interficientibus te: cum sis homo, et non Deus, in manu occidentium te?

Will thou yet say before him who slays thee, I am God? But thou are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds thee.

10 Morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.

Thou shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers. For I have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah.

11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: Fili hominis leva planctum super regem Tyri:

Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

12 et dices ei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Tu signaculum similitudinis, plenus sapientia, et perfectus decore,

Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Thou seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13 in deliciis Paradisi Dei fuisti: omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum: sardius, topazius, et iaspis, chrysolithus, et onyx, et beryllus, sapphirus, et carbunculus, et smaragdus: aurum opus decoris tui: et foramina tua in die, qua conditus es, præparata sunt.

Thou were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambourine and of thy pipes was in thee. In the day that thou were created they were prepared.

14 Tu cherub extentus, et protegens, et posui te in monte sancto Dei, in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti.

Thou were the anointed cherub who covers. And I set thee, so that thou were upon the holy mountain of God. Thou have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuæ, donec inventa est iniquitas in te.

Thou were perfect in thy ways from the day that thou were created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

16 In multitudine negotiationis tuæ repleta sunt interiora tua iniquitate, et peccasti: et eieci te de monte Dei, et perdidi te, o cherub protegens, de medio lapidum ignitorum.

By the abundance of thy commerce they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou have sinned. Therefore I have cast thee out of the mountain of God as profane, and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17 Et elevatum est cor tuum in decore tuo: perdidisti sapientiam tuam in decore tuo, in terram proieci te: ante faciem regum dedi te ut cernerent te.

Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty. Thou have corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness. I have cast thee to the ground. I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18 In multitudine iniquitatum tuarum, et iniquitate negotiationis tuæ polluisti sanctificationem tuam: producam ergo ignem de medio tui, qui comedat te, et dabo te in cinerem super terram in conspectu omnium videntium te.

By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy commerce, thou have profaned thy sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought forth a fire from the midst of thee. It has devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those who behold thee.

19 Omnes, qui viderint te in Gentibus, obstupescent super te: nihili factus es, et non eris in perpetuum.

All those who know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee. Thou have become a horror, and thou shall nevermore have any being.

20 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

21 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem: et prophetabis de ea,

Son of man, set thy face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,

22 et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te Sidon, et glorificabor in medio tui: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum fecero in ea iudicia, et sanctificatus fuero in ea.

and say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon. And I will be glorified in the midst of thee. And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

23 Et immittam ei pestilentiam, et sanguinem in plateis eius: et corruent interfecti in medio eius gladio per circuitum: et scient quia ego Dominus.

For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. And the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword upon her on every side. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

24 Et non erit ultra domui Israel offendiculum amaritudinis, et spina dolorem inferens undique per circuitum eorum, qui adversantur eis: et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.

And there shall no more be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any who are round about them, who did spite to them. And they shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.

25 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quando congregavero domum Israel de populis, in quibus dispersi sunt, sanctificabor in eis coram Gentibus: et habitabunt in terra sua, quam dedi servo meo Iacob.

Thus says the lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

26 Et habitabunt in ea securi: et ædificabunt domos, et plantabunt vineas, et habitabunt confidenter, cum fecero iudicia in omnibus, qui adversantur eis per circuitum: et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum.

And they shall dwell securely therein. Yea, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments upon all those who do them spite round about them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God.
