Hiezechielis Prophetæ 11
1 et elevavit me spiritus et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem quae respicit solis ortum et ecce in introitu portae viginti quinque viri et vidi in medio eorum Hiezoniam filium Azur et Pheltiam filium Banaiae principes populi
Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw amongst them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 dixitque ad me fili hominis hii viri qui cogitant iniquitatem et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista
He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3 dicentes nonne dudum aedificatae sunt domus haec est lebes nos autem carnes
who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
4 idcirco vaticinare de eis vaticinare fili hominis
Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
5 et inruit in me spiritus Domini et dixit ad me loquere haec dicit Dominus sic locuti estis domus Israhel et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi
The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 plurimos occidistis in urbe hac et implestis vias eius interfectis
You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
7 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus interfecti vestri quos posuistis in medio eius hii sunt carnes et haec est lebes et educam vos de medio eius
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
8 gladium metuistis et gladium inducam super vos ait Dominus Deus
You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
9 et eiciam vos de medio eius daboque vos in manu hostium et faciam in vobis iudicia
“I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgements amongst you.
10 gladio cadetis in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos et scietis quia ego Dominus
You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 haec non erit vobis in lebetem et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos
This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
12 et scietis quia ego Dominus qui in praeceptis meis non ambulastis et iudicia mea non fecistis sed iuxta iudicia gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt estis operati
You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
13 et factum est cum prophetarem Pheltias filius Banaiae mortuus est et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna et dixi heu heu heu Domine Deus consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israhel
When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
14 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
15 fili hominis fratres tui fratres tui viri propinqui tui et omnis domus Israhel universi quibus dixerunt habitatores Hierusalem longe recedite a Domino nobis data est terra in possessionem
“Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
16 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quia longe feci eos in gentibus et quia dispersi eos in terris ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris ad quas venerunt
“Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off amongst the nations, and whereas I have scattered them amongst the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
17 propterea loquere haec dicit Dominus Deus congregabo vos de populis et adunabo de terris in quibus dispersi estis daboque vobis humum Israhel
“Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you Eretz-Israel.”
18 et ingredientur illuc et auferent omnes offensiones cunctasque abominationes eius de illa
“‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
19 et dabo eis cor unum et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum et dabo eis cor carneum
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
20 ut in praeceptis meis ambulent et iudicia mea custodiant faciantque ea et sint mihi in populum et ego sim eis in Deum
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21 quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat horum viam in capite suo ponam dicit Dominus Deus
But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”
22 et elevaverunt cherubin alas suas et rotae cum eis et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea
Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis stetitque super montem qui est ad orientem urbis
The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 et spiritus levavit me adduxitque in Chaldeam ad transmigrationem in visione in spiritu Dei et sublata est a me visio quam videram
The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Kasdimah, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini quae ostenderat mihi
Then I spoke to the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
