Hiezechielis Prophetæ 28
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of YHWH 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 leader of Tyre, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because your heart has been high, And you say: I [am] a god, I have inhabited the habitation of God, In the heart of the seas, And you [are] man, and not God, And you give out your heart as the heart of God,
3 Ecce sapientior es tu Daniele: omne secretum non est absconditum a te.
Behold, you [are] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from you.
4 In sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi fortitudinem: et acquisisti aurum, et argentum in thesauris tuis.
By your wisdom and by your understanding You have made wealth for yourself, And make gold and silver in your treasuries.
5 In multitudine sapientiæ tuæ, et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi fortitudinem: et elevatum est cor tuum in robore tuo.
By the abundance of your wisdom, Through your merchandise, You have multiplied your wealth, And your heart is high through your wealth.
6 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum quasi cor Dei:
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your giving out your 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 am bringing in strangers against you, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom, And they have pierced your brightness.
8 Interficient, et detrahent te: et morieris in interitu occisorum in corde maris.
They bring you down to destruction, You die by the deaths of the wounded, 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?
Do you really say, I [am] God, Before him who is slaying you? And you [are] man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing you.
10 Morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
You die the deaths of the uncircumcised, By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: Fili hominis leva planctum super regem Tyri:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
12 et dices ei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Tu signaculum similitudinis, plenus sapientia, et perfectus decore,
“Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And you have said to him, Thus said Lord YHWH: You are sealing up a measurement, 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.
You have been in Eden, the garden of God, Every precious stone [was] your covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes, In you in the day of your being produced, have been created;
14 Tu cherub extentus, et protegens, et posui te in monte sancto Dei, in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti.
And I established you as the anointed, covering cherub, You have been in [the] holy mountain of God, You 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.
You [were] perfect in your ways, From [the] day of your being created, Until perversity was found in you.
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 your merchandise They have filled your midst with violence, And you sin, And I thrust you from [the] mountain of God, And I destroy you, 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.
Your heart has been high because of your beauty, You have corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness, I have cast you to earth, I have set you before kings, to look on you,
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.
From [the] abundance of your iniquity, By [the] perversity of your merchandise, You have defiled your sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from your midst, It has devoured you, And I make you become ashes on the earth, In [the] eyes of all beholding you.
19 Omnes, qui viderint te in Gentibus, obstupescent super te: nihili factus es, et non eris in perpetuum.
All knowing you among the peoples Have been astonished at you, You have been terrors, and you are not—for all time.”
20 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
21 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem: et prophetabis de ea,
“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy concerning 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 you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Sidon, And I have been honored in your midst, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My doing judgments in her, And I have been 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.
And I have sent pestilence into her, And blood into her out-places, The wounded has been judged in her midst, By the sword on her all around, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.
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 is no more pricking brier and paining thorn For the house of Israel, Of all around them—despising them, And they have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.
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 said Lord YHWH: In My gathering the house of Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations, And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant, to 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 have dwelt confidently on it, And built houses, and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently—in My doing judgments, On all those despising them all around, And they have known that I [am] their God YHWH!”
