2 Et factusest sermo Domini ad me dicens:	2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
3 “ Fili hominis, viri isti posuerunt idola suain cordibus suis et scandalum iniquitatis suae statuerunt contra faciem suam;numquid interrogatus respondebo eis?	3 “Son of man, these men have placed their uncleanness in their hearts, and they have stationed the scandal of their iniquities before their face. So why should I respond when they inquire of me?
4 Propter hoc loquere eis et dices ad eos:Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Omnis homo de domo Israel, qui posuerit idola sua incorde suo et scandalum iniquitatis suae statuerit contra faciem suam et veneritad prophetam interrogans per eum me, ego Dominus respondebo ei per me promultitudine idolorum suorum,	4 Because of this, speak to them, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: The man, the man of the house of Israel, who places his uncleanness in his heart, and who stations the scandal of his iniquities before his face, and who approaches a prophet, so as to inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him in accord with the multitude of his uncleannesses,
5 ut capiam domum Israel in corde suo, quorecesserunt a me in cunctis idolis suis.	5 so that the house of Israel may be seized within their own heart, by which they have withdrawn from me to all their idols.
6 Propterea dic ad domum Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Convertimini etrecedite ab idolis vestris et ab universis contaminationibus vestris avertitefacies vestras.	6 Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Be converted, and withdraw from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.
7 Quia omnis homo de domo Israel et de advenis, quicumque advenafuerit in Israel, si alienatus fuerit a me et posuerit idola sua in corde suo etscandalum iniquitatis suae statuerit contra faciem suam et venerit ad prophetam,ut interroget per eum me, ego Dominus respondebo ei per me;	7 For the man, the man of the house of Israel, and the new arrival among the converts who may be in Israel, if he is alienated from me, and he sets his idols in his heart, and he stations the scandal of his iniquity before his face, and he approaches the prophet, so that he may inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him through myself.
8 et ponam faciemmeam contra hominem illum et faciam eum in exemplum et in proberbium etdisperdam eum de medio populi mei, et scietis quia ego Dominus.	8 And I will set my face against that man, and I will make him an example and a proverb. And I will perish him from the midst of my people. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 Et prophetacum erraverit et locutus fuerit verbum, ego Dominus decepi prophetam illum etextendam manum meam contra eum et delebo eum de medio populi mei Israel.	9 And when a prophet has gone astray and has spoken a word: I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. And I will extend my hand over him, and I will wipe him away from the midst of my people, Israel.
10 Etportabunt iniquitatem suam: sicut iniquitas interrogantis, sic et iniquitasprophetae erit,	10 And they shall bear their iniquity. In accord with the iniquity of the one who inquires, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
11 ut non erret ultra domus Israel a me neque polluatur inuniversis praevaricationibus suis, sed sit mihi in populum, et ego sim eis inDeum ”, ait Dominus Deus.	11 So may the house of Israel no longer go astray from me, nor be polluted by all their transgressions. Instead, may they be my people, and may I be their God, says the Lord of hosts.”
12 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
13 “ Fili hominis, terra cumpeccaverit mihi, ut praevaricetur praevaricans, extendam manum meam super eam etconteram virgam panis eius et immittam in eam famem et interficiam de ea hominemet iumentum;	13 “Son of man, when a land will have sinned against me, so that it transgresses grievously, I will extend my hand over it, and I will crush the staff of its bread. And I will send a famine upon it, and I will destroy from it both man and beast.
14 et si fuerint tres viri isti in medio eius, Noe, Danel et Iob,ipsi iustitia sua liberabunt animas suas, ait Dominus Deus.	14 And if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver their own souls by their justice, says the Lord of hosts.
15 Quod si etbestias pessimas induxero super terram, ut absque liberis faciant eam, et fueritdeserta, in qua nullus pertranseat propter bestias,	15 And if I also lead in very harmful beasts upon the land, so that I devastate it, and it becomes impassable, so that no one may cross through it because of the beasts,
16 tres viri isti si fuerintin ea, vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia nec filios nec filias liberabunt, sedipsi soli liberabuntur, terra autem desolabitur.	16 if these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters. But only they themselves will be delivered, for the land shall be desolated.
17 Vel si gladium induxerosuper terram illam et dixero gladio: Transi per terram, et interfecero de eahominem et iumentum,	17 Or if I lead in the sword upon that land, and if I say to the sword, ‘Pass through the land,’ and so I destroy from it both man and beast,
18 et tres viri isti fuerint in medio eius, vivo ego, dicitDominus Deus, non liberabunt filios neque filias, sed ipsi soli liberabuntur.	18 and if these three men were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters, but only they themselves will be delivered.
19 Vel si pestilentiam immisero super terram illam et effudero indignationem meamsuper eam in sanguine, ut auferam ex ea hominem et iumentum,	19 Then, if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and I pour out my indignation upon it with blood, so that I take away from it both man and beast,
20 et Noe et Danelet Iob fuerint in medio eius, vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia filium etfiliam non liberabunt, sed ipsi iustitia sua liberabunt animas suas.	20 and if Noah, and Daniel, and Job were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither son, nor daughter, but they will deliver only their own souls by their justice.
21 Quoniam haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quod si et quattuor iudicia mea pessima,gladium et famem et bestias malas et pestilentiam misero in Ierusalem, utinterficiam de ea hominem et pecus,	21 For thus says the Lord God: Even though I will send upon Jerusalem my four most grievous judgments, sword and famine and harmful beasts and pestilence, so that I destroy from it both man and beast,
22 tamen relinquetur in ea salvatioeducentium filios et filias: ecce ipsi egredientur ad vos, et videbitis viameorum et opera eorum et consolabimini super malo, quod induxi in Ierusalem inomnibus, quae importavi super eam.	22 yet still there shall be left within it some who will be saved, who shall lead away their own sons and daughters. Behold, they will enter to you, and you will see their way and their accomplishments. And you shall be consoled concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, concerning all the things that I have brought to bear upon it.
23 Et consolabuntur vos, cum videritis viameorum et opera eorum, et cognoscetis quod non frustra fecerim omnia, quae feciin ea ”, ait Dominus Deus.	23 And they shall console you, when you see their ways and their accomplishments. And you shall know that I have not acted to no purpose in all that I have done within it, says the Lord God.”
