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 unto me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak unto you.

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 unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto 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 unto me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto 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 shameless children and stiff hearted. I do send you unto them; and you shall say unto them, Thus says 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 has 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 you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

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

And you shall speak my words unto 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 you, son of man, hear what I say unto you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that I give you.

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

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

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 therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
