NOVA VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad medicens:1 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
2 “ Fili hominis, dic principi Tyri: Haec dicit Dominus Deus:
Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum,
et dixisti: “Deus ego sum
et in cathedra deorum sedeo
in corde maris!”,
cum sis homo et non Deus,
et dedisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei.
2 'Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, "The Lord Yahweh says this: Because your heart has grownproud, you thought: I am a god; I am divinely enthroned far out to sea. Though you are human, not divine, youhave allowed yourself to think like God.
3 Ecce sapientior es tu Danel,
omne secretum non est absconditum a te,
3 So, you are wiser than Danel; no sage as wise as you!
4 in sapientia et prudentia tua
fecisti tibi opes
et acquisisti aurum et argentum
in thesauris tuis;
4 By your wisdom and your intel igence you have made yourself a fortune, you have put gold and silverinto your treasuries.
5 in multitudine sapientiae tuae et in negotiatione tua
multiplicasti tibi opes,
et elevatum est cor tuum in opibus tuis.
5 Such is your skill in trading, your fortune has continued to increase, and your fortune has made yourheart grow prouder.
6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod fecisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei,
6 "And so, the Lord Yahweh says this: Since you have al owed yourself to think like God,
7 idcirco ecce ego adducam super te
alienos violentissimos gentium;
et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiae tuae
et polluent splendorem tuum.
7 very wel , I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most barbarous of the nations. They wil draw sword against your fine wisdom, they wil desecrate your splendour,
8 In fossam detrahent te, et morieris
interitu occisorum in corde maris.
8 they will throw you down into the grave and you wil die a violent death far out to sea.
9 Numquid dicens loqueris: “Deus ego sum!”
coram interficientibus te,
cum sis homo et non Deus
in manu occidentium te?
9 Wil you stil think: I am a god, when your slaughterers confront you? But you will be human, not divine,in the clutches of the ones who strike you down!
10 Morte incircumcisorum morieris
in manu alienorum,
quia ego locutus sum ”,
ait Dominus Deus.
10 You wil die like the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners. "For I have spoken -- declares the LordYahweh." '
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens: “ Fili hominis, leva planctumsuper regem Tyri11 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as fol ows,
12 et dices ei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus:
Tu signaculum perfectum,
plenus sapientia et perfectus decore;
12 'Son of man, raise a lament for the king of Tyre. Say to him, "The Lord Yahweh says this: You usedto be a model of perfection, ful of wisdom, perfect in beauty;
13 in deliciis paradisi Dei fuisti,
omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum:
sardius, topazius et iaspis,
chrysolithus et onyx et beryllus,
sapphirus et carbunculus et smaragdus,
aurum opus caelaturae in te;
in die, qua conditus es, praeparata sunt.
13 you were in Eden, in the garden of God. Al kinds of gem formed your mantle: sard, topaz, diamond,chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, garnet, emerald, and your ear-pendants and spangles were made of gold; alwas ready on the day you were created.
14 Cum cherub extento et protegente te posui te,
in monte sancto Dei fuisti,
in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti,
14 I made you a living creature with outstretched wings, as guardian, you were on the holy mountain ofGod; you walked amid red-hot coals.
15 perfectus in viis tuis
a die conditionis tuae,
donec inventa est iniquitas in te.
15 Your behaviour was exemplary from the day you were created until guilt first appeared in you,
16 In multitudine negotiationis tuae repleta sunt interiora tua
iniquitate, et peccasti.
Et eieci te de monte Dei,
et perdidit te cherub protegens
de medio lapidum ignitorum.
16 because your busy trading has fil ed you with violence and sin. I have thrown you down from themountain of God and destroyed you, guardian winged creature, amid the coals.
17 Elevatum est cor tuum in decore tuo;
perdidisti sapientiam tuam propter splendorem tuum:
in terram proieci te,
ante faciem regum dedi te, ut cernerent te.
17 Your heart has grown proud because of your beauty, your wisdom has been corrupted by yoursplendour. I have thrown you to the ground; I have made you a spectacle for kings.
18 In multitudine iniquitatum tuarum
et iniquitate negotiationis tuae
polluisti sanctuaria tua;
producam ergo ignem de medio tui,
qui comedat te,
et dabo te in cinerem super terram
in conspectu omnium videntium te.
18 By the immense number of your crimes, by the dishonesty of your trading, you have defiled yoursanctuary. So I have brought fire out of you to devour you; I have reduced you to ashes on the ground before theeyes of al who saw you.
19 Omnes, qui viderint te, in gentibus
obstupescent super te;
in horrorem factus es
et non eris in perpetuum ”.
19 Of the nations, al who know you are stunned at your fate. You are an object of terror; gone for ever."'
20 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:20 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as fol ows,
21 “ Fili hominis, pone faciemtuam contra Sidonem et propheta de ea21 'Son of man, turn towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
22 et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego ad te, Sidon,
et glorificabor in medio tui,
et scient quia ego Dominus,
cum fecero in ea iudicia
et sanctificatus fuero in ea.
22 Say, "The Lord Yahweh says this: I am against you, Sidon, I will show my glory in you! They wilknow I am Yahweh, once I execute sentence on her and display my holiness in her.
23 Et immittam ei pestilentiam
et sanguinem in plateis eius,
et corruent interfecti in medio eius gladio per circuitum,
et scient quia ego Dominus.
23 For I shall send her the plague, and there wil be blood in her streets, and in her the dead wil falunder the sword raised against her from al sides, and they will know that I am Yahweh.
24 Et non erit ultra domui Israel stimulus amaritudinis et spina doloreminferens undique per circuitum eorum, qui adversantur eis, et scient quia egoDominus Deus.
24 "No more, for the House of Israel, shall any of the hostile nations surrounding them be a thorn thatwounds or a briar that tears; and they will know that I am Yahweh.
25 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quando congregavero domum Israel de populis, inquibus dispersi sunt, sanctificabor in eis coram gentibus, et habitabunt interra sua, quam dedi servo meo Iacob;25 "The Lord Yahweh says this: When I gather the House of Israel back from the peoples where theyare dispersed, I shal display my glory in them for the nations to see. They wil live on the soil which I gave to myservant Jacob.
26 et habitabunt in ea securi etaedificabunt domos plantabuntque vineas et habitabunt confidenter, cum feceroiudicia in omnibus, qui adversantur eis per circuitum, et scient quia egoDominus Deus eorum ”.
26 They will live there in confidence, build houses, plant vineyards. They wil live in safety, once I inflictpunishments on all the hostile nations surrounding them, and they will know that I am Yahweh their God." '
