NOVA VULGATACATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “ Fili hominis, quid habet lignum vitis
prae omnibus lignis sarmentorum,
quae sunt inter ligna silvarum?
2 “Son of man, what can be made from the stalk of a vine, compared to all the plants of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?
3 Numquid tolletur de ea lignum,
ut fiat opus,
aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus,
ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas?
3 Can any wood be taken from it, so that it may be made into a work, or formed into a peg so as to hang some kind of vessel upon it?
4 Ecce igni datum est in escam,
utramque partem eius consumpsit ignis,
et medietas eius adusta est;
numquid utile erit ad opus?
4 Behold, it is used in the fire as fuel. The fire consumes both its ends; and its middle is reduced to ashes. So how can it be useful for any work?
5 Etiam cum esset integrum,
non erat aptum ad opus;
quanto magis cum ignis illud devoraverit et combusserit,
nihil ex eo fiet operis.
5 Even when it was whole, it was unsuitable for a work. How much more so, when fire has devoured it and burned it up, will nothing of it be useful?
6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus:
Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum,
quod dedi igni ad devorandum,
sic tradam habitatores Ierusalem.
6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Like the stalk of the vine among the trees of the forests, which I have given to be devoured by fire, so will I deliver the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 Et ponam faciem meam in eos:
de igne egressi sunt,
et ignis consumet eos.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus,
cum posuero faciem meam in eos
7 And I will set my face against them. They will go away from fire, and yet fire will consume them. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have set my face against them,
8 et dedero terram inviam et desolatam,
eo quod praevaricatores exstiterint ”,
dicit Dominus Deus.
8 and when I will have made their land impassable and desolate. For they have stood forth as transgressors, says the Lord God.”
