NOVA VULGATADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et factum est in anno sexto, in sexto mense, in quinta mensis, egosedebam in domo mea, et senes Iudae sedebant coram me, et cecidit super me ibimanus Domini Dei,1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
2 et vidi: et ecce similitudo quasi aspectus viri, ab aspectulumborum eius et deorsum ignis, et a lumbis eius et sursum quasi aspectussplendoris ut visio electri.2 And I saw, and behold a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins, and downward, fire: and from his loins, and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the appearance of amber.
3 Emisit similitudinem manus et apprehendit me incincinno capitis mei; et elevavit me spiritus inter terram et caelum et adduxitin Ierusalem, in visionibus Dei, iuxta ostium interius, quod respiciebataquilonem, ubi erat statutum idolum zeli ad provocandam aemulationem.3 And the likeness of a hand was put forth and took me by a lock of my head: and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the vision of God into Jerusalem, near the inner gate, that looked toward the north, where was set the idol of jealousy to provoke to jealousy.
4 Et ecceibi gloria Dei Israel secundum visionem, quam videram in campo;4 And behold the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I had seen in the plain.
5 et dixit adme: “ Fili hominis, leva oculos tuos ad viam aquilonis ”. Et levavi oculosmeos ad viam aquilonis, et ecce ab aquilone portae altaris hoc idolum zeli inintroitu.5 And he said to me: Son of man, lift up thy eyes towards the way of the north. And I lifted up my eyes towards the way of the north: and behold on the north side of the gate of the altar the idol of jealousy in the very entry.
6 Et dixit ad me: “ Fili hominis, putasne vides tu, quid istifaciunt, abominationes magnas, quas domus Israel facit hic, ut procul recedam asanctuario meo? Et adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores ”.
6 And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou see, thinkest thou, what these are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should depart far off from my sanctuary? and turn thee yet again and thou shalt see greater abominations.
7 Et duxit me ad ostium atrii, et vidi: et ecce foramen unum in pariete.7 And he brought me in to the door of the court: and I saw, and behold a hole in the wall.
8 Etdixit ad me: “Fili hominis, fode parietem”; et cum perfodissem parietem,apparuit ostium unum.8 And he said to me: Son of man, dig in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
9 Et dixit ad me: “ Ingredere et vide abominationespessimas, quas isti faciunt hic ”.9 And he said to me: Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they commit here.
10 Et ingressus vidi: et ecce omnissimilitudo reptilium et animalium abominatio et universa idola domus Israeldepicta erant in pariete in circuitu per totum;10 And I went in and saw, and behold every form of creeping things, and of living creatures, the abomination, and all the idols of the house of Israel, were painted on the wall all round about.
11 et septuaginta viri desenioribus domus Israel, et Iezonias filius Saphan stabat in medio eorumstantium ante picturas, et unusquisque habebat turibulum in manu sua, et vapornebulae de ture consurgebat.11 And seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and Jezonias the son of Saaphan stood in the midst of them, that stood before the pictures: and every one had a censer in his hand: and a cloud of smoke went up from the incense.
12 Et dixit ad me: “ Certe vides, fili hominis,quae seniores domus Israel faciunt in tenebris, unusquisque in cubiculosimulacri sui; dicunt enim: “Non videt Dominus nos, dereliquit Dominus terram””.12 And he add to me: Surely thou seest. O son of man, what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in private in his chamber: for they say: The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
13 Et dixit ad me: “ Adhuc videbis abominationes maiores, quas isti faciunt”.13 And he said to me: If thou turn thee again, thou shalt see greater abominations which these commit.
14 Et duxit me ad ostium portae domus Domini, quod respiciebat ad aquilonem, etecce ibi mulieres sedebant plangentes Thammuz.14 And he brought me in by the door of the gate of the Lord's house, which looked to the north: and behold women sat there mourning for Adonis.
15 Et dixit ad me: “Certevidisti, fili hominis; adhuc videbis abominationes maiores his ”.15 And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: but turn thee again: and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16 Et introduxit me in atrium domus Domini interius, et ecce in ostio templiDomini, inter vestibulum et altare, quasi viginti quinque viri dorsa habentescontra templum Domini et facies ad orientem, et adorabant ad ortum solis.16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord: and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men having their backs towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east: and they adored towards the rising of the sun.
17 Etdixit ad me: “ Certe vidisti, fili hominis; numquid parum est hoc domui Iudae,ut facerent abominationes istas, quas fecerunt hic, quia replentes terraminiquitate iterum irritaverunt me et ecce applicant ramum ad nares suas.17 And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: is this a light thing to the house of Juda, that they should commit these abominations which they have committed here: because they have filled the land with iniquity, and have turned to provoke me to anger? and behold they put a branch to their nose.
18 Ergoet ego faciam in furore: non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor et, cumclamaverint ad aures meas voce magna, non exaudiam eos ”.
18 Therefore I also will deal with them in my wrath: my eye shall not spare them, neither will I shew mercy: and when they shall cry to my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.
