Ezechielis 3

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Et dixit ad me: “ Fili hominis, quodcumque inveneris, comede; comedevolumen istud et vadens loquere ad filios Israel ”.	1 And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is offered to you; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
2 Et aperui os meum, etcibavit me volumine illo	2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 et dixit ad me: “ Fili hominis, venter tuuscomedet, et viscera tua complebuntur volumine isto, quod ego do tibi ”. Etcomedi illud, et factum est in ore meo sicut mel dulce.	3 And he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it." Then I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
4 Et dixit ad me: “Fili hominis, vade ad domum Israel et loqueris verba mea ad eos.	4 And he said to me, "Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.
5 Non enim adpopulum profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae tu mitteris, ad domum Israel;	5 For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and a hard language, but to the house of Israel--
6 neque ad populos multos profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae, quorum non possisaudire sermones; et si ad illos mittereris, ipsi audirent te.	6 not to many peoples of foreign speech and a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you.
7 Domus autemIsrael nolunt audire te, quia nolunt audire me; omnis quippe domus Israel durafronte est et obstinato corde.	7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they are not willing to listen to me; because all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stubborn heart.
8 Ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebuseorum et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum;	8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 ut adamantem et durioremsilice dedi faciem tuam: ne timeas eos neque metuas a facie eorum, quia domusexasperans est ”.	9 Like adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead; fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house."
10 Et dixit ad me: “ Fili hominis, omnes sermones meos,quos loquor ad te, assume in corde tuo et auribus tuis audi.	10 Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
11 Et vade,ingredere ad transmigrationem, ad filios populi tui, et loqueris ad eos et diceseis: Haec dicit Dominus Deus; sive audiant, sive contemnant ”.	11 And go, get you to the exiles, to your people, and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD'; whether they hear or refuse to hear."
12 Et assumpsit me spiritus, et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnae, cumelevaretur gloria Domini de loco suo;	12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and as the glory of the LORD arose from its place, I heard behind me the sound of a great earthquake;
13 et vocem alarum animalium percutientiumalteram ad alteram et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia et vocem commotionismagnae.	13 it was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, that sounded like a great earthquake.
14 Spiritus quoque levavit me et assumpsit me; et abii amarus inindignatione spiritus mei: manus enim Domini erat super me gravis.	14 The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the hand of the LORD being strong upon me;
15 Et veni adtransmigrationem, ad Telabib, ad eos, qui habitabant iuxta flumen Chobar; etsedi, ubi illi sedebant, et mansi ibi septem diebus obstupefactus in medioeorum.	15 and I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Chebar. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
16 Cum autem pertransissent septem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	16 And at the end of seven days, the word of the LORD came to me:
17 “ Fili hominis, speculatorem dedi te domui Israel; et audies de ore meoverbum et commonebis eos ex me.	17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.
18 Si, dicente me ad impium: Morte morieris, noncommonueris eum neque locutus fueris ei, ut avertatur a via sua impia et vivat,ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur, sanguinem autem eius de manu tuarequiram.	18 If I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.
19 Si autem tu commonueris impium, et ille non fuerit conversus abimpietate sua et a via sua impia, ipse quidem in iniquitate sua morietur, tuautem animam tuam liberasti.	19 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you will have saved your life.
20 Sed et si conversus iustus a iustitia sua,fecerit iniquitatem, ponam offendiculum coram eo; ipse morietur, quia noncommonuisti eum: in peccato suo morietur, et non erunt in memoria iustitiaeeius, quas fecit; sanguinem vero eius de manu tua requiram.	20 Again, if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
21 Si autem tucommonueris iustum, ut non peccet iustus, et ille non peccaverit, vivens vivet,quia commonuisti eum et tu animam tuam liberasti ”.	21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you will have saved your life."
22 Et facta est super me manus Domini, et dixit ad me: “ Surgens egredere incampum, et ibi loquar tecum ”.	22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and there I will speak with you."
23 Et surgens egressus sum in campum, et ecceibi gloria Domini stabat quasi gloria, quam vidi iuxta fluvium Chobar, et cecidiin faciem meam.	23 So I arose and went forth into the plain; and, lo, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory which I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
24 Et ingressus est in me spiritus et statuit me super pedesmeos et locutus est mihi et dixit ad me: “ Ingredere et includere in mediodomus tuae.	24 But the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spoke with me and said to me, "Go, shut yourself within your house.
25 Et tu, fili hominis, ecce data sunt super te vincula, et ligabuntte in eis, et non egredieris in medio eorum;	25 And you, O son of man, behold, cords will be placed upon you, and you shall be bound with them, so that you cannot go out among the people;
26 et linguam tuam adhaerere faciampalato tuo, et eris mutus nec quasi vir obiurgans, quia domus exasperans est.	26 and I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be dumb and unable to reprove them; for they are a rebellious house.
27 Cum autem locutus fuero tibi, aperiam os tuum, et dices ad eos: Haec dicitDominus Deus. Qui audit, audiat; et, qui contemnit, contemnat, quia domusexasperans est ”.	27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD'; he that will hear, let him hear; and he that will refuse to hear, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
