Ezechiele 21

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “ Fili hominis, pone faciemtuam contra meridiem et stilla ad austrum et propheta ad saltum agri Nageb.	2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and let thy speech flow towards the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel:
3 Etdices saltui Nageb: Audi verbum Domini. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce egosuccendam in te ignem, et comburet in te omne lignum viride et omne lignumaridum; non exstinguetur flamma succensionis, et comburetur in ea omnis faciesab austro usque ad aquilonem.	3 And say to the land of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off in thee the just, and the wicked.
4 Et videbit universa caro quia ego Domínussuccendi eam, nec exstinguetur ”.	4 And forasmuch as I have cut off in thee the just, and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh, from the south even to the north.
5 Et dixi: “ Heu, Domine Deus! Ipsi dicuntde me: “Numquid non per parabolas loquitur iste?” ”.	5 That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn my sword out of its sheath not to be turned back.
6 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	6 And thou, son of man, mourn with the breaking of thy loins, and with bitterness sigh before them.
7 “ Fili hominis, pone faciem tuamad Ierusalem et stilla ad sanctuaria et propheta contra humum Israel.	7 And when they shall say to thee: Why mournest thou? thou shalt say: For that which I hear: because it cometh, and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be made feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and water shall run down every knee: behold it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord God.
8 Et dicesterrae Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, et eiciam gladium meumde vagina sua et occidam in te iustum et impium.	8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Pro eo autem quod occidi inte iustum et impium, idcirco egredietur gladius meus de vagina sua ad omnemcarnem, ab austro ad aquilonem,	9 Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Say: The sword, the sword is sharpened, and furbished.
10 ut sciat omnis caro quia ego Dominus eduxigladium meum de vagina sua irrevocabilem.	10 It is sharpened to kill victims: it is furbished that it may glitter: thou removest the sceptre of my son, thou hast cut down every tree.
11 Et tu, fili hominis, ingemisce in contritione lumborum et in amaritudinibusingemisce coram eis.	11 And I have given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, that it may be in the hand of the slayer.
12 Cumque dixerint ad te: “Quare tu gemis?”, dices: Proauditu quia venit et tabescet omne cor, et dissolventur universae manus, etinfirmabitur omnis spiritus, et per cuncta genua fluent aquae; ecce venit etfiet ”, ait Dominus Deus.	12 Cry, and howl, 0 son of man, for this sword is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel, that are fled: they are delivered up to the sword with my people, strike therefore upon thy thigh,
13 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	13 Because it is tried: and that when it shall overthrow the sceptre, and it shall not be, saith the Lord God.
14 “ Fili hominis, propheta etdices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Loquere: Gladius, gladius exacutus est et etiam limatus;	14 Thou therefore, O son of man, prophesy, and strike thy hands together, and let the sword be doubled, and let the sword of the slain be tripled: this is the sword of a great slaughter, that maketh them stand amazed,
15 ut caedat victimas exacutus est, ut splendeat limatus est.	15 And languish in heart, and that multiplieth ruins. In all their gates I have set the dread of the sharp sword, the sword that is furbished to glitter, that is made ready for slaughter.
16 Et datus est ad levigandum, ut teneatur manu. Iste exacutus est gladius et iste limatus, ut sit in manu interficientis.	16 Be thou sharpened, go to the right hand, or to the left, which way soever thou hast a mind to set thy face.
17 Clama et ulula, fili hominis, quia hic directus est in populum meum, hic in cunctos duces Israel, qui gladio traditi sunt cum populo meo.	17 And I will clap my hands together, and will satisfy my indignation: I the Lord have spoken.
18 Idcirco plaude super femur, quia probatio est, dicit Dominus Deus.	18 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
19 Tu ergo, fili hominis, propheta et percute manu ad manum. Et duplicetur gladius, ac triplicetur gladius interfectorum: hic est gladius occisionis magnae, qui eos circumdat,	19 And thou son of man, set thee two ways, for the sword of the king of Babylon to come: both shall come forth out of one land: and with his hand he shall draw lots, he shall consult at the head of the way of the city.
20 ut cor tabescat, et multiplicentur corruentes. In omnibus portis eorum dedi occisionem gladii: eheu, facti acuti et limati ad fulgendum, politi ad caedem!	20 Thou shalt make a way that the sword may come to Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and to Juda unto Jerusalem the strong city.
21 “Exacuere, vade ad dexteram sive ad sinistram, quocumque acies tuae sunt destinatae”.	21 For the king of Babylon stood in the highway, at the head of two ways, seeking divination, shuffling arrows: he inquired of the idols, and consulted entrails.
22 Quin et ego plaudam manu ad manum et saturabo indignationem meam, ego Dominus locutus sum ”.	22 On his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in slaughter, to lift up the voice in howling, to set engines against the gates, to cast up a mount, to build forts.
23 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	23 And he shall be in their eyes as one consulting the oracle in vain, and imitating the leisure of sabbaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity that they may be taken.
24 “Et tu, fili hominis, pone tibiduas vias, ut veniat gladius regis Babylonis: de terra una egrediantur ambae; etindicem statue, in capite viae civitatis statue.	24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have remembered your iniquity, and have discovered your prevarications, and your sins have appeared in all your devices: because, I say, you have remembered, you shall be taken with the hand.
25 Viam pones, quo veniatgladius, ad Rabba filiorum Ammon et ad Iudam in Ierusalem munitissimam.	25 But thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come that hath been appointed in the time of iniquity:
26 Statenim rex Babylonis in bivio in capite duarum viarum, divinationem quaerens,commiscens sagittas; interrogat teraphim, iecur consulit.	26 Thus saith the Lord God: Remove the diadem, take off the crown: is it not this that hath exalted the low one, and brought down him that was high?
27 Ad dexteram eiusfacta est divinatio super Ierusalem, ut ponat arietes, ut aperiat os ad caedem,ut elevet vocem in ululatu, ut ponat arietes contra portas, ut comportetaggerem, ut aedificet munitiones.	27 I will shew it to be iniquity, iniquity, iniquity: but this was not done till he came to whom judgment belongeth, and I will give it him.
28 Eritque quasi consulens frustra oraculum inoculis eorum, et iuramenta sanctissima sunt eis; ipse autem in memoriamrevocabit iniquitatem ad capiendum.	28 And thou son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach, and thou shalt say: sword, O sword, come out of the scabbard to kill, be furbished to destroy, and to glitter,
29 Idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eoquod in memoriam revocastis iniquitatem vestram, et revelatae suntpraevaricationes vestrae, et apparuerunt peccata vestra in omnibus operibusvestris; pro eo, inquam, quod in memoriam revocati estis, manu capiemini.	29 Whilst they see vain things in thy regard, and they divine lies: to bring thee upon the necks of the wicked that are wounded, whose appointed day is come in the time of iniquity.
30 Tuautem, profane, impie dux Israel, cuius venit dies in tempore iniquitatisfinitae —	30 Return into thy sheath. I will judge thee in the place wherein thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.
31 haec dicit Dominus Deus — auferatur cidaris, tollatur corona;hoc non erit amplius. Humile sublevetur, et sublime humilietur.	31 And I will pour out upon thee my indignation: in the fire of my rage will I blow upon thee, and will give thee into the hands of men that are brutish and contrive thy destruction.
32 Ruinam,ruinam, ruinam ponam illud; et hoc non fiet, donec veniat, cuius est iudicium,et tradam ei.	32 Thou shalt be fuel for the fire, thy blood shall be in the midst of the land, thou shalt be forgotten: for I the Lord have spoken it.
33 Et tu, fili hominis, propheta et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus ad filios Ammonet ad opprobrium eorum; et dices: Gladius, gladius est evaginatus ad occidendum,limatus ad consumendum, ut fulgeat,
34 cum tibi videntur vana, et divinanturmendacia, ut ponatur gladius ad colla profanorum impiorum, quorum venit dies intempore iniquitatis finitae.
35 Revertatur ad vaginam suam. In loco, in quocreatus es, in terra nativitatis tuae iudicabo te.
36 Et effundam super teindignationem meam, in igne furoris mei sufflabo in te; daboque te in manushominum insipientium et fabricantium interitum.
37 Igni eris cibus, sanguis tuuserit in medio terrae; oblivioni traderis, quia ego Dominus locutus sum ”.
