Hiezechielis Prophetæ 28
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
2 fili hominis dic principi Tyri haec 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, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
3 ecce sapientior es tu Danihele omne secretum non est absconditum a te
behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
4 in sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi fortitudinem et adquisisti aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis
By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 in multitudine sapientiae tuae et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi fortitudinem et elevatum est cor tuum in robore tuo
By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
6 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus eo quod elevatum est cor tuum quasi cor Dei
“‘therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7 idcirco ecce ego adducam super te alienos robustissimos gentium et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiae tuae et polluent decorem tuum
therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
8 interficient et detrahent te et morieris interitu occisorum in corde maris
They will bring you down to the pit. You will 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 you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10 morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum quia ego locutus sum ait Dominus Deus
You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
11 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens fili hominis leva planctum super regem Tyri
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
12 et dices ei haec dicit Dominus Deus tu signaculum similitudinis plenus sapientia et perfectus decore
“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 in deliciis paradisi Dei fuisti omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum sardius topazius et iaspis chrysolitus et onyx et berillus sapphyrus et carbunculus et zmaragdus aurum opus decoris tui et foramina tua in die qua conditus es praeparata sunt
You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
14 tu cherub extentus et protegens et posui te in monte sancto Dei in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti
You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15 perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuae donec inventa est iniquitas in te
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16 in multitudine negotiationis tuae 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 commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
17 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 was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendour. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18 in multitudine iniquitatum tuarum et iniquitate negotiationis tuae 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 your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 omnes qui viderint te in gentibus obstupescent super te nihili factus es et non eris in perpetuum
All those who know you amongst the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
20 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
21 fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem et prophetabis de ea
“Son of man, set your face towards Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 et dices haec 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, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified amongst you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgements in her, and am sanctified in her.
23 et inmittam 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. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24 et non erit ultra domui Israhel offendiculum amaritudinis et spina dolorem inferens undique per circuitum eorum qui adversantur eis et scient quia ego Dominus Deus
“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
25 haec dicit Dominus Deus quando congregavero domum Israhel de populis in quibus dispersi sunt sanctificabor in eis coram gentibus et habitabunt in terra sua quam dedi servo meo Iacob
“‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples amongst whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy amongst them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 et habitabunt in ea securi et aedificabunt domos plantabuntque vineas et habitabunt confidenter cum fecero iudicia in omnibus qui adversantur eis per circuitum et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum
They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgements on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
