Ezechielis 11

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et elevavit me spiritus, et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem, quæ respicit ad solis ortum : et ecce in introitu portæ viginti quinque viri : et vidi in medio eorum Jezoniam filium Azur, et Pheltiam filium Banaiæ, principes populi.	1 Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the temple. At the entrance of the gate I saw twenty-five men, among whom were Jaazaniah, son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 Dixitque ad me : Fili hominis, hi sunt viri qui cogitant iniquitatem, et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista,	2 The LORD said to me: Son of man, these are the men who are planning evil and giving wicked counsel in this city.
3 dicentes : Nonne dudum ædificatæ sunt domus ? hæc est lebes, nos autem carnes.	3 "Shall we not," they say, "be building houses soon? The city is the kettle, and we are the meat."
4 Idcirco vaticinare de eis, vaticinare, fili hominis.	4 Therefore prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!
5 Et irruit in me spiritus Domini, et dixit ad me : Loquere : Hæc dicit Dominus : Sic locuti estis, domus Israël, et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi.	5 Then the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and he told me to say: Thus says the LORD: This is the way you talk, house of Israel, and what you are plotting I well know.
6 Plurimos occidistis in urbe hac, et implestis vias ejus interfectis.	6 You have slain many in this city and have filled its streets with your slain.
7 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Interfecti vestri, quos posuistis in medio ejus, hi sunt carnes, et hæc est lebes : et educam vos de medio ejus.	7 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Your slain whom you have placed within it, they are the meat, and the city is the kettle; but you I will take out of it.
8 Gladium metuistis, et gladium inducam super vos, ait Dominus Deus.	8 You fear the sword, but the sword I will bring upon you, says the Lord GOD.
9 Et ejiciam vos de medio ejus, daboque vos in manu hostium, et faciam in vobis judicia.	9 I will bring you out of the city, and hand you over to foreigners, and inflict punishments upon you.
10 Gladio cadetis : in finibus Israël judicabo vos, et scietis quia ego Dominus.	10 By the sword you shall fall; at the boundaries of Israel I will judge you; thus you shall know that I am the LORD.
11 Hæc non erit vobis in lebetem, et vos non eritis in medio ejus in carnes : in finibus Israël judicabo vos,	11 The city shall not be a kettle for you, nor shall you be the meat within it. At the boundaries of Israel I will judge you,
12 et scietis quia ego Dominus : quia in præceptis meis non ambulastis, et judicia mea non fecistis, sed juxta judicia gentium quæ in circuitu vestro sunt estis operati.	12 and you shall know that I am the LORD, by whose statutes you have not lived, and whose ordinances you have not kept; rather, you have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.
13 Et factum est cum prophetarem, Pheltias filius Banaiæ mortuus est : et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna, et dixi : Heu ! heu ! heu ! Domine Deus, consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israël ?	13 While I was prophesying, Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, died. I fell prone and cried out in a loud voice: "Alas, Lord GOD! will you utterly wipe out what remains of Israel?"
14 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :	14 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
15 Fili hominis, fratres tui, fratres tui, viri propinqui tui, et omnis domus Israël, universi quibus dixerunt habitatores Jerusalem : Longe recedite a Domino : nobis data est terra in possessionem.	15 Son of man, it is about your kinsmen, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel that the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, "They are far away from the LORD; to us the land of Israel has been given as our possession."
16 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quia longe feci eos in gentibus, et quia dispersi eos in terris : ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris ad quas venerunt.	16 Therefore say: Thus says the Lord GOD: Though I have removed them far among the nations and scattered them over foreign countries--and was for a while their only sanctuary in the countries to which they had gone--
17 Propterea loquere : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Congregabo vos de populis, et adunabo de terris in quibus dispersi estis, daboque vobis humum Israël.	17 I will gather you from the nations and assemble you from the countries over which you have been scattered, and I will restore to you the land of Israel.
18 Et ingredientur illuc, et auferent omnes offensiones, cunctasque abominationes ejus de illa.	18 They shall return to it and remove from it all its detestable abominations.
19 Et dabo eis cor unum, et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum : et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum, et dabo eis cor carneum,	19 I will give them a new heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove the stony heart from their bodies, and replace it with a natural heart,
20 ut in præceptis meis ambulent, et judicia mea custodiant, faciantque ea, et sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum.	20 so that they will live according to my statutes, and observe and carry out my ordinances; thus they shall be my people and I will be their God.
21 Quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat, horum viam in capite suo ponam, dicit Dominus Deus.	21 But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their detestable abominations, I will bring down their conduct upon their heads, says the Lord GOD.
22 Et elevaverunt cherubim alas suas, et rotæ cum eis, et gloria Dei Israël erat super ea :	22 Then the cherubim lifted their wings, and the wheels went along with them, while up above them was the glory of the God of Israel.
23 et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis, stetitque super montem qui est ad orientem urbis.	23 And the glory of the LORD rose from the city and took a stand on the mountain which is to the east of the city.
24 Et spiritus levavit me, adduxitque in Chaldæam ad transmigrationem, in visione, in spiritu Dei : et sublata est a me visio quam videram.
25 Et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini quæ ostenderat mihi.
