1 Et factum est verbum Do mini ad me dicens:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “ Et tu, fili hominis,num iudicas, num iudicas civitatem sanguinum?	2 “And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?
3 Et ostendes ei omnesabominationes suas et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Civitas effundenssanguinem in medio sui, ut veniat tempus eius et, quae fecit idola contrasemetipsam, ut pollueretur.	3 And you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.
4 In sanguine tuo, qui a te effusus est, deliquisti;et in idolis tuis, quae fecisti, polluta es; et appropinquare fecisti dies tuoset adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum. Propterea dedi te opprobrium gentibus etirrisionem universis terris.	4 You have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.
5 Quae iuxta sunt et quae procul a te, triumphabuntde te, sordibus famosa, grandis tumultu.	5 Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.

9 Viridetractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem et super montes comederunt inte; scelus operati sunt in medio tui.	9 Maligning men were within you, in order to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains within you. They have worked wickedness in your midst.

And the father-in-law has heinously defiled his daughter-in-law. The brother has oppressed his sister, the daughter of his father, within you.
12 Munera acceperunt apud tead effundendum sanguinem, usuram et fenus accepisti et avare proximos tuoscalumniabaris meique oblita es, ait Dominus Deus.	12 They have accepted bribes among you to shed blood.

13 Ecce complosi manus meas super lucrum tuum, quod fecisti, et super sanguinem,qui effusus est in medio tui.	13 Behold, I have clapped my hands over your avarice, which you have worked, and over the blood that has been shed in your midst.
14 Numquid sustinebit cor tuum, aut praevalebuntmanus tuae in diebus, quos ego faciam tibi? Ego Dominus locutus sum et faciam;	14 How can your heart endure, or your hands prevail, in the days that I will bring upon you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.
15 et dispergam te in nationes et ventilabo te in terras et deficere faciamimmunditiam tuam a te:	15 And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will cause your uncleanness to fade away from you.
16 et profanabo me in te in conspectu gentium, et sciesquia ego Dominus ”.	16 And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “ Fili hominis, versa est mihidomus Israel in scoriam; omnes isti argentum et aes et stannum et ferrum etplumbum in medio fornacis, scoria facti sunt.	18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become like dross to me. All these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace; they have become like the dross of silver.
19 Propterea haec dicit DominusDeus: Eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam, propterea ecce ego congregabo vos inmedio Ierusalem	19 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have all turned into dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem,
20 congregatione argenti et aeris et ferri et plumbi et stanniin medio fornacis, ut succendatur in ea ignis ad conflandum: sic congregabo infurore meo et in ira mea et ponam et conflabo vos	20 just as they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace, so that I may kindle in it a fire to melt it. So will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and I will be quieted, and I will melt you down.
21 et congregabo vos etsuccendam vos in igne furoris mei, et conflabimini in medio eius.	21 And I will gather you together, and I will burn you in the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in its midst.
22 Utconflatur argentum in medio fornacis, sic conflabimini in medio eius; et scietisquia ego Dominus effuderim indignationem meam super vos ”.	22 Just as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so will you be in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have poured out my indignation upon you.”
23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 “ Fili hominis, dic ei: Tu esterra, super quam non cecidit pluvia neque imber in die furoris,	24 “Son of man, say to her: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.
25 cuius ducesin medio eius sicut leo rugiens capiensque praedam: animas devoraverunt, opes etpretium acceperunt, viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius.	25 There is a conspiracy of prophets in her midst. Like a lion, roaring and seizing the prey, they have devoured souls. They have taken riches and a price. They have multiplied widows in her midst.
26 Sacerdoteseius contempserunt legem meam et polluerunt sanctuaria mea, inter sanctum etprofanum non habuerunt distantiam et inter pollutum et mundum non docueruntdistinguere et a sabbatis meis averterunt oculos suos, et coinquinabar in medioeorum.	26 Her priests have despised my law, and they have defiled my sanctuaries. They have held no distinction between holy and profane. And they have not understood the difference between defiled and clean. And they have averted their eyes from my Sabbaths. And I was profaned in their midst.
27 Principes eius in medio illius quasi lupi rapientes praedam adeffundendum sanguinem et perdendas animas et avare sectanda lucra.	27 Her leaders in her midst are like wolves seizing the prey: to shed blood, and to perish souls, and to continually pursue profit with avarice.
28 Prophetaeautem eius liniebant eis omnia calce, videntes vana et divinantes eis mendacium,dicentes: “Haec dicit Dominus Deus”, cum Dominus non sit locutus.	28 And her prophets have covered them without tempering the mortar, seeing emptiness, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.
29 Populusterrae calumniabatur calumniam et rapiebat violenter; egenum et pauperemaffligebant et advenam opprimebant absque iudicio.	29 The people of the land have oppressed with slander and have seized with violence. They have afflicted the needy and the poor, and they have oppressed the new arrival by accusations without judgment.
30 Et quaesivi de eis virum,qui interponeret saepem et staret in confractione contra me pro terra, nedissiparem eam, et non inveni.	30 And I sought among them for a man who might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I might not destroy it; and I found no one.
31 Et effudi super eos indignationem meam, inigne irae meae consumpsi eos, viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi ”, ait DominusDeus.	31 And so I poured out my indignation upon them; in the fire of my wrath I consumed them. I have rendered their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”
