NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 happened that, in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.
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, there was an image with the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his waist, and downward, there was fire. And from his waist, and upward, there was the appearance of splendor, like the sight 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 as the image of a hand went out, it took hold of me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven. And he brought me into Jerusalem, within a vision of God, next to the inner gate that looked toward the north, where there was stationed an idol of rivalry, so as to provoke an envious emulation.
4 Et ecceibi gloria Dei Israel secundum visionem, quam videram in campo;	4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, in accord with the vision that 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 your eyes to the way of the north.” And I lifted up my eyes to the way of the north. And behold, from the north of the gate of the altar was the idol of rivalry, at the same entrance.
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, you see what these ones are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here. Do you not think, then, that I should withdraw far away from my own sanctuary? But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations.”
7 Et duxit me ad ostium atrii, et vidi: et ecce foramen unum in pariete.	7 And he led me in by the door of the atrium. And I saw, and behold, there was an opening 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 dug in the wall, there appeared one door.
9 Et dixit ad me: “ Ingredere et vide abominationespessimas, quas isti faciunt hic ”.	9 And he said to me: “Enter and see the most wicked abominations which they are committing 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 entering, I saw, and behold, every kind of image of reptiles and animals, the abominations, and all of the idols of the house of Israel were depicted on the wall all around, throughout the entire place.
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 there were seventy men out of the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in their midst, and they stood before the pictures. And each one had a censer in his hand. And a cloud of smoke rose 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 said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one while hidden in his chamber. For they say: ‘The Lord does not see us. The Lord has forsaken the earth.’ ”
13 Et dixit ad me: “ Adhuc videbis abominationes maiores, quas isti faciunt”.	13 And he said to me: “If you turn again, you will see even greater abominations, which these ones are committing.”
14 Et duxit me ad ostium portae domus Domini, quod respiciebat ad aquilonem, etecce ibi mulieres sedebant plangentes Thammuz.	14 And he led me in through the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, mourning for Adonis.
15 Et dixit ad me: “Certevidisti, fili hominis; adhuc videbis abominationes maiores his ”.	15 And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. But if you turn again, you will see even 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 led me into the inner atrium of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the vestibule and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east. And they were adoring toward 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: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. Can this be so trivial to the house of Judah, when they commit these abominations, just as they have committed here, that, having filled the earth with iniquity, they now turn to provoke me? And behold, they are applying 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 act toward them in my fury. My eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. And when they will have cried out to my ears with a loud voice, I will not heed them.”
