Ezechiele 33

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et factum est verbum Do mini ad me dicens:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “ Fili ho minis, loqueread filios populi tui et dices ad eos: Terra, cum induxero super eam gladium, ettulerit populus terrae virum unum de finibus suis et constituerit eum sibispeculatorem,	2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them:
3 et ille viderit gladium venientem super terram et cecineritbucina et annuntiaverit populo;	3 And he see the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people:
4 audiens autem quisquis ille est sonum bucinae,non se observaverit, veneritque gladius et tulerit eum: sanguis ipsius supercaput eius erit;	4 Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 sonum bucinae audivit et non se observavit, sanguis eius inipso erit. Si autem se custodierit, animam suam salvavit.	5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: but if he look to himself, he shall save his life.
6 Quod si speculatorviderit gladium venientem et non insonuerit bucina, et populus non secustodierit; veneritque gladius et tulerit de eis animam: ille quidem ininiquitate sua captus est, sanguinem autem eius de manu speculatoris requiram.	6 And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.
7 Te autem, fili hominis, speculatorem dedi domui Israel. Audiens ergo ex oremeo sermonem, commonebis eos ex me.	7 So thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me.
8 Si, me dicente ad impium: Impie, mortemorieris, non fueris locutus, ut se custodiat impius a via sua, ipse impius ininiquitate sua morietur, sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram.	8 When I say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
9 Si autemcommonueris impium, ut a viis suis convertatur, et ille non fuerit conversus avia sua, ipse in iniquitate sua morietur, porro tu animam tuam liberasti.	9 But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way: he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 Tu ergo, fili hominis, dic ad domum Israel: Sic locuti estis, dicentes: “Iniquitatesnostrae et peccata nostra super nos sunt, et in ipsis nos tabescimus; quomodoergo vivere poterimus?”.	10 Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you have spoken, saying: Our iniquities, and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them: how then can we live?
11 Dic ad eos: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus; nolomortem impii, sed ut revertatur impius a via sua et vivat. Convertimini,convertimini a viis vestris pessimis; et quare moriemini, domus Israel?	11 Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways: and why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Tu itaque, fili hominis, dic ad filios populi tui: Iustitia iusti nonliberabit eum in quacumque die praevaricatus fuerit; et impietas impii nonnocebit ei in quacumque die conversus fuerit ab impietate sua; et iustus nonpoterit vivere in iustitia sua in quacumque die peccaverit.	12 Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the children of thy people: The justice of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice, in what day soever he shall sin.
13 Etiamsi dixeroiusto quod vita vivat, et, confisus in iustitia sua, fecerit iniquitatem, omnesiustitiae eius oblivioni tradentur, et in iniquitate sua, quam operatus est, inipsa morietur.	13 Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and in his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die.
14 Sin autem dixero impio: Morte morieris, et egerit paenitentiama peccato suo feceritque iudicium et iustitiam,	14 And if I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice,
15 pignus restituerit illeimpius rapinamque reddiderit, in mandatis vitae ambulaverit nec fecerit quidquaminiustum, vita vivet et non morietur;	15 And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die.
16 omnia peccata eius, quae peccavit, nonimputabuntur ei: iudicium et iustitiam fecit, vita vivet.	16 None of his sins, which he hath committed, shall be imputed to him: he hath done judgment and justice, he shall surely live.
17 Et dicunt filii populi tui: “Non est aequa via Domini”; et ipsorum viainiqua est.	17 And the children of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not equitable: whereas their own way is unjust.
18 Cum enim recesserit iustus a iustitia sua feceritque iniquitates,morietur in eis;	18 For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them.
19 et cum recesserit impius ab impietate sua feceritqueiudicium et iustitiam, vivet in eis.	19 And when the wicked shall depart from his wickedness, and shall do judgments, and justice: be shall live in them.
20 Et dicitis: “Non est recta via Domini”.Unumquemque iuxta vias suas iudicabo de vobis, domus Israel ”.	20 And you say: The way of the Lord is not right, I will judge every one of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.
21 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in decimo, in quinta mensis transmigrationisnostrae, venit ad me, qui fugerat de Ierusalem, dicens: “ Vastata est civitas”.	21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that there came to me one that was fled from Jerusalem, saying: The city is laid waste.
22 Manus autem Domini facta fuerat ad me vespere, antequam veniret quifugerat; aperuitque os meum, donec veniret ad me mane, et, aperto ore meo, nonsilui amplius.	22 And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more.
23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 “ Fili hominis,qui habitant in ruinosis his super humum Israel, loquentes aiunt: “Unus eratAbraham et hereditate possedit terram; nos autem multi, nobis data est terra inpossessionem”.	24 Son of man, they that dwell in these ruinous places in the land of Israel, speak, saying: Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many, the land is given us in possession.
25 Idcirco dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Qui insanguine comeditis et oculos vestros levatis ad idola vestra et sanguinemfunditis, numquid terram hereditate possidebitis?	25 Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God, You that eat with the blood and lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and that shed blood: shall you possess the land by inheritance?
26 Stetistis in gladiisvestris, fecistis abominationes, et unusquisque uxorem proximi sui polluit, etterram hereditate possidebitis?	26 You stood on your swords, you have committed abominations, and every one hath defiled his neighbour's wife; and shall you possess the land by inheritance?
27 Haec dices ad eos: Sic dicit Dominus Deus:Vivo ego, qui in ruinosis habitant, gladio cadent; et, qui in agro est, bestiistradetur ad devorandum; qui autem in praesidiis et in speluncis sunt, pestemorientur.	27 Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall die of the pestilence.
28 Et dabo terram in solitudinem et desertum, et deficiet superbafortitudo eius, et desolabuntur montes Israel, ita ut nullus sit qui per eostranseat;	28 And I will make the land a wilderness, and a desert, and the proud strength thereof shall fail, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, because there is none to pass by them.
29 et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero terram desolatam et desertampropter universas abominationes suas, quas operati sunt.	29 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they have committed.
30 Et tu, fili hominis, filii populi tui, qui loquuntur de te iuxta parietes etin ostiis domorum et dicunt unus ad alterum, vir ad fratrem suum, loquentes: “Veniteet audite, qui sit sermo egrediens a Domino”.	30 And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each men to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.
31 Et veniunt ad te quasi siconveniat populus, et sedent coram te populus meus; et audiunt sermones tuos etnon faciunt eos, quia quasi amatores loquuntur, et avaritiam suam sequitur coreorum.	31 And they come to thee, as if a people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness.
32 Et es eis quasi carmen amatorum, quod suavi voce et cum dulcichordarum sono canitur, et audiunt verba tua et non faciunt ea.	32 And thou art to them as a musical song which is sung with a sweet and agreeable voice: and they hear thy words, and do them not.
33 Et cumvenerit, quod praedictum est — ecce enim venit — tunc scient quod prophetesfuerit inter eos ”.	33 And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, (for behold it is coming,) then shall they know that a prophet bath been among them.
