Ezechiele 16

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
2 “ Fili hominis, notas facIerusalem abominationes suas	2 Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.
3 et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus ad Ierusalem:Radix tua et generatio tua de terra Chanaan, pater tuus Amorraeus et mater tuaHetthaea.	3 Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem: By origin and birth you are of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
4 Et quando nata es, in die ortus tui non est praecisus umbilicustuus, et in aqua non es lota in emundationem nec sale salita nec involutapannis.	4 As for your birth, the day you were born your navel cord was not cut; you were neither washed with water nor anointed, nor were you rubbed with salt, nor swathed in swaddling clothes.
5 Non pepercit super te oculus, ut faceret tibi unum de his, miseratustui, sed proiecta es super faciem terrae in abiectione animae tuae in die, quanata es.	5 No one looked on you with pity or compassion to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out on the ground as something loathsome, the day you were born.
6 Praeteriens autem te, vidi te palpitare in sanguine tuo et dixi tibi, cumesses in sanguine tuo: Vive. Dixi, inquam, tibi: In sanguine tuo vive.	6 Then I passed by and saw you weltering in your blood. I said to you: Live in your blood
7 Crescentem quasi germen agri dedi te, et crevisti et grandis effecta es etpervenisti ad mundum muliebrem: ubera tua intumuerunt, et pilus tuus germinavit;sed eras nuda et confusione plena.	7 and grow like a plant in the field. You grew and developed, you came to the age of puberty; your breasts were formed, your hair had grown, but you were still stark naked.
8 Et transivi per te et vidi te; et eccetempus tuum, tempus amantium. Et expandi amictum meum super te et operuiignominiam tuam; et iuravi tibi et ingressus sum pactum tecum, ait Dominus Deus,et facta es mea.	8 Again I passed by you and saw that you were now old enough for love. So I spread the corner of my cloak over you to cover your nakedness; I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you; you became mine, says the Lord GOD.
9 Et lavi te aqua et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te et unxi teoleo;	9 Then I bathed you with water, washed away your blood, and anointed you with oil.
10 et vestivi te discoloribus et calceavi te calceis corii delphini etcinxi te bysso et indui te serico.	10 I clothed you with an embroidered gown, put sandals of fine leather on your feet; I gave you a fine linen sash and silk robes to wear.
11 Et ornavi te ornamento et dedi armillas inmanibus tuis et torquem circa collum tuum;	11 I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms, a necklace about your neck,
12 et dedi inaurem super os tuum etcirculos auribus tuis et coronam decoris in capite tuo.	12 a ring in your nose, pendants in your ears, and a glorious diadem upon your head.
13 Et ornata es auro etargento et vestita es bysso et serico et multicoloribus. Similam et mel et oleumcomedisti et decora facta es vehementer nimis et apta ad regnum.	13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver; your garments were of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. Fine flour, honey, and oil were your food. You were exceedingly beautiful, with the dignity of a queen.
14 Et egressumest nomen tuum in gentes propter speciem tuam, quia perfecta eras in decore meo,quem posueram super te, dicit Dominus Deus.	14 You were renowned among the nations for your beauty, perfect as it was, because of my splendor which I had bestowed on you, says the Lord GOD.
15 Et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua fornicata es in nomine tuo etexposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti, quisquis fuerit.	15 But you were captivated by your own beauty, you used your renown to make yourself a harlot, and you lavished your harlotry on every passer-by, whose own you became.
16 Et sumens devestimentis tuis fecisti tibi excelsa variegata et fornicata es super eis, sicutnon est factum neque futurum est.	16 You took some of your gowns and made for yourself gaudy high places, where you played the harlot. . . .
17 Et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meoatque argento meo, quae dedi tibi, et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas etfornicata es in eis.	17 You took the splendid gold and silver ornaments that I had given you and made for yourself male images, with which also you played the harlot.
18 Et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria et operuistiillas et oleum meum et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis.	18 You took your embroidered gowns to cover them; my oil and my incense you set before them;
19 Et panem meum, quemdedi tibi, similam et oleum et mel, quibus enutrivi te, posuisti in conspectueorum in odorem suavitatis, et factum est, ait Dominus Deus.	19 the food that I had given you, the fine flour, the oil, and the honey with which I fed you, you set before them as an appeasing odor, says the Lord GOD.
20 Et tulisti filios tuos et filias tuas, quas generasti mihi, et immolasti eisad devorandum. Numquid parva est fornicatio tua?	20 The sons and daughters you had borne me you took and offered as sacrifices to be devoured by them! Was it not enough that you had become a harlot?
21 Immolasti filios meos etdedisti illos consecrans eis.	21 You slaughtered and immolated my children to them, making them pass through fire.
22 Et post omnes abominationes tuas etfornicationes non es recordata dierum adulescentiae tuae, quando eras nuda etconfusione plena, palpitans in sanguine tuo.	22 And through all your abominations and harlotries you remembered nothing of when you were a girl, stark naked and weltering in your blood.
23 Et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam — vae, vae tibi!, ait Dominus Deus —	23 Then after all your evildoing--woe, woe to you! says the Lord GOD--
24 et aedificasti tibi fornicem et fecisti tibi excelsum in cunctis plateis;	24 you raised for yourself a platform and a dais in every public place.
25 ad omne caput viae aedificasti locum elevatum tuum et abominabilem fecistidecorem tuum et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti et multiplicastifornicationes tuas.	25 At every street corner you built a dais for yourself to use your beauty obscenely, spreading your legs for every passer-by, playing the harlot countless times.
26 Et fornicata es cum filiis Aegypti vicinis tuis magnorummembrorum et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad irritandum me.	26 You played the harlot with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, so many times that I was provoked to anger.
27 Ecce egoextendi manum meam super te et imminui portionem tuam et dedi te in animamodientium te, filiarum Palaestinarum, quae erubescunt in via tua scelerata.	27 Therefore I stretched out my hand against you, I diminished your allowance and delivered you over to the will of your enemies, the Philistines, who revolted at your lewd conduct.
28 Et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum, eo quod necdum fueris expleta; et,postquam fornicata es, nec sic es satiata.	28 You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you were not satisfied; and after playing the harlot with them, you were still not satisfied.
29 Et multiplicasti fornicationemtuam usque ad terram mercatorum Chaldaeam, et nec sic satiata es.	29 Again and again you played the harlot, now going to Chaldea, the land of the traders; but despite this, you were still not satisfied.
30 In quomundabo cor tuum, ait Dominus Deus, cum faceres omnia haec opera mulierismeretricis et procacis?	30 How wild your lust! says the Lord GOD, that you did all these things, acting like a shameless prostitute,
31 Quia fabricasti fornicem tuum in capite omnis viae etexcelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea; nec facta es quasi meretrix, quiasprevisti pretium.	31 building your platform at every street corner and erecting your dais in every public place! Yet you were unlike a prostitute, since you disdained payment.
32 Mulier adultera loco viri sui accipit alienos.	32 The adulterous wife receives, instead of her husband, payment.
33 Omnibusmeretricibus dantur mercedes, tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuiset donabas eis, ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum.	33 All harlots receive gifts. But you rather bestowed your gifts on all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from all sides for your harlotry.
34 Factumque inte est contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis, et post te nonsunt fornicati; in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes et mercedes non accepisti,factum est in te contrarium.	34 Thus in your harlotry you were different from all other women. No one sought you out for prostitution. Since you gave payment instead of receiving it, how different you were!
35 Propterea, meretrix, audi verbum Domini.	35 Therefore, harlot, hear the word of the LORD!
36 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quiaeffusum est aes tuum, et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis adamatores tuos et ad omnia idola abominabilia tua, in sanguine filiorum tuorum,quos dedisti eis,	36 Thus says the Lord GOD: Because you poured out your lust and revealed your nakedness in your harlotry with your lovers and abominable idols, and because you sacrificed the life-blood of your children to them,
37 ideo ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos, quibusiucunda fuisti, et omnes, quos dilexisti, cum universis, quos oderas; etcongregabo eos super te undique et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis, et videbuntomnem turpitudinem tuam.	37 I will now gather together all your lovers whom you tried to please, whether you loved them or loved them not; I will gather them against you from all sides and expose you naked for them to see.
38 Et iudicabo te iudiciis adulterarum et effundentiumsanguinem et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli.	38 I will inflict on you the sentence of adulteresses and murderesses; I will wreak fury and jealousy upon you.
39 Et dabo te in manus eorum,et destruent fornicem tuum et demolientur excelsa tua et denudabunt tevestimentis tuis et auferent vasa decoris tui et derelinquent te nudam plenamqueignominia.	39 I will hand you over to them to tear down your platform and demolish your dais; they shall strip you of your garments and take away your splendid ornaments, leaving you stark naked.
40 Et convocabunt contra te congregationem et lapidabunt te lapidibuset trucidabunt te gladiis suis.	40 They shall lead an assembly against you to stone you and hack you with their swords.
41 Et comburent domos tuas igni et facient in teiudicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum; et faciam ut desinas fornicari, etmercedes ultra non dabis.	41 They shall burn your apartments with fire and inflict punishments on you while many women look on. Thus I will put an end to your harlotry, and you shall never again give payment.
42 Et satiabo indignationem meam in te, et aufereturzelus meus a te; et quiescam nec irascar amplius.	42 When I have wreaked my fury upon you I will cease to be jealous of you, I will be quiet and no longer vexed.
43 Eo quod non fuerisrecordata dierum adulescentiae tuae et provocasti me in omnibus his, proptereaet ego vias tuas in capite tuo dabo, ait Dominus Deus, et non feci iuxta sceleratua in omnibus abominationibus tuis.	43 Because you did not remember what happened when you were a girl, but enraged me with all these things, therefore in return I am bringing down your conduct upon your head, says the Lord GOD. For did you not add lewdness to the rest of your abominable deeds?
44 Ecce omnis, qui dicit vulgo proverbium in te, assumet illud dicens: “Sicutmater, ita et filia eius”.	44 See, everyone who is fond of proverbs will say of you, 'Like mother, like daughter.'
45 Filia matris tuae es tu, quae sprevit virum suumet filios suos; et soror sororum tuarum es tu, quae spreverunt viros suos etfilios suos. Mater vestra Hetthaea, et pater vester Amorraeus.	45 Yes, you are the true daughter of the mother who spurned her husband and children, and you are a true sister to those who spurned their husbands and children--your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46 Et soror tuamaior Samaria, ipsa et filiae eius, quae habitat ad sinistram tuam; soror autemtua minor te, quae habitat a dextris tuis, Sodoma et filiae eius.	46 Your elder sister was Samaria with her daughters, living to the north of you; and your younger sister, living to the south of you, was Sodom with her daughters.
47 Sed nec inviis earum ambulasti neque secundum scelera earum fecisti; quasi parum fuisset,sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis.	47 Yet not only in their ways did you walk, and act as abominably as they did; in a very short time you became more corrupt in all your ways than they.
48 Vivo ego, dicit DominusDeus, non fecit Sodoma soror tua, ipsa et filiae eius, sicut fecisti tu etfiliae tuae.	48 As I live, says the Lord GOD, I swear that your sister Sodom, with her daughters, has not done as you and your daughters have done!
49 Ecce haec fuit iniquitas Sodomae, sororis tuae: superbia,saturitas panis et securum otium erat ei et filiabus eius, et manum egeni etpauperis non sustentabant;	49 And look at the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters were proud, sated with food, complacent in their prosperity, and they gave no help to the poor and needy.
50 et elevatae sunt et fecerunt abominationes coramme, et abstuli eas, sicut vidisti.	50 Rather, they became haughty and committed abominable crimes in my presence; then, as you have seen, I removed them.
51 Et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum nonpeccavit, sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis et iustificasti sorores tuas inomnibus abominationibus tuis, quas operata es.	51 Samaria did not commit half your sins! You have done more abominable things than they, and have even made your sisters appear just, with all the abominable deeds you have done.
52 Ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam, quae absolvisti sorores tuas peccatistuis, sceleratius agens quam illae; iustificatae sunt enim a te. Ergo et tuconfundere et porta ignominiam tuam, quae iustificasti sorores tuas.	52 You, then, bear your shame; you are an argument in favor of your sisters! In view of your sinful deeds, more abominable than theirs, they appear just in comparison with you. Blush for shame, and bear the shame of having made your sisters appear just.
53 Etconvertam sortem earum, sortem Sodomorum cum filiabus suis et sortem Samariae etfiliarum eius; et convertam sortem tuam in medio earum,	53 I will restore their fortunes, the fortune of Sodom and her daughters and of Samaria and her daughters (and I will restore your fortune along with them),
54 ut portes ignominiamtuam et confundaris in omnibus, quae fecisti consolans eas.	54 that you may bear your shame and be disgraced for all the comfort you brought them.
55 Et soror tuaSodoma et filiae eius revertentur ad pristinum statum suum, et Samaria et filiaeeius revertentur ad pristinum statum suum, et tu et filiae tuae revertimini adpristinum statum vestrum.	55 Yes, your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Samaria and her daughters, shall return to their former state (you and your daughters shall return to your former state).
56 Nonne fuit Sodoma, soror tua, in fabulam in ore tuoin die superbiae tuae,	56 Was not your sister Sodom kept in bad repute by you while you felt proud of yourself,
57 antequam revelaretur malitia tua, sicut hoc tempore tues in opprobrium filiarum Syriae et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarumPalaestinarum, quae ambiunt te per gyrum?	57 before your wickedness became evident? Now you are like her, reproached by the Edomites and all your neighbors, despised on all sides by the Philistines.
58 Scelus tuum et ignominiam tuam tuportabis, ait Dominus.	58 The penalty of your lewdness and your abominations--you must bear it all, says the LORD.
59 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et faciam tibi, sicut fecisti, qui despexistiiuramentum, ut irritum faceres pactum.	59 For thus speaks the Lord GOD: I will deal with you according to what you have done, you who despised your oath, breaking a covenant.
60 Et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adulescentiae tuae et suscitabotibi pactum sempiternum.	60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were a girl, and I will set up an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Et recordaberis viarum tuarum et confunderis, cumreceperis sorores tuas te maiores cum minoribus tuis, et dabo eas tibi in filiassed non ex pacto tuo.	61 Then you shall remember your conduct and be ashamed when I take your sisters, those older and younger than you, and give them to you as daughters, even though I am not bound by my covenant with you.
62 Et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum, et scies quia egoDominus,	62 For I will re-establish my covenant with you, that you may know that I am the LORD,
63 ut recorderis et confundaris, et non sit tibi ultra aperire os praeconfusione tua, cum placatus fuero tibi in omnibus, quae fecisti ”, aitDominus Deus.	63 that you may remember and be covered with confusion, and that you may be utterly silenced for shame when I pardon you for all you have done, says the Lord GOD.
