VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
2 Fili hominis, in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas : qui oculos habent ad videndum, et non vident, et aures ad audiendum, et non audiunt : quia domus exasperans est.	2 Son of man, you live in the midst of a rebellious house; they have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.
3 Tu ergo, fili hominis, fac tibi vasa transmigrationis, et transmigrabis per diem coram eis. Transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum, si forte aspiciant, quia domus exasperans est :	3 Now, son of man, during the day while they are looking on, prepare your baggage as though for exile, and again while they are looking on, migrate from where you live to another place; perhaps they will see that they are a rebellious house.
4 et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum : tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.	4 You shall bring out your baggage like an exile in the daytime while they are looking on; in the evening, again while they are looking on, you shall go out like one of those driven into exile;
5 Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem, et egredieris per eum.	5 while they look on, dig a hole in the wall and pass through it;
6 In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis ; in caligine effereris : faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram, quia portentum dedi te domui Israël.	6 while they look on, shoulder the burden and set out in the darkness; cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel.
7 Feci ergo sicut præceperat mihi Dominus : vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem, et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu : et in caligine egressus sum, in humeris portatus in conspectu eorum.	7 I did as I was told. During the day I brought out my baggage as though it were that of an exile, and at evening I dug a hole through the wall with my hand and, while they looked on, set out in the darkness, shouldering my burden.
8 Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens :	8 Then, in the morning, the word of the LORD came to me:
9 Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israël, domus exasperans : Quid tu facis ?	9 Son of man, did not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, ask you what you were doing?
10 Dic ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Jerusalem, et super omnem domum Israël, quæ est in medio eorum.	10 Tell them: Thus says the Lord GOD: This oracle concerns Jerusalem and the whole house of Israel within it.
11 Dic : Ego portentum vestrum : quomodo feci, sic fiet illis : in transmigrationem et in captivitatem ibunt.	11 I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them; as captives they shall go into exile.
12 Et dux qui est in medio eorum, in humeris portabitur ; in caligine egredietur : parietem perfodient, ut educant eum ; facies ejus operietur, ut non videat oculo terram.	12 The prince who is among them shall shoulder his burden and set out in darkness, going through a hole that he has dug in the wall, and covering his face lest he be seen by anyone.
13 Et extendam rete meum super eum, et capietur in sagena mea : et adducam eum in Babylonem, in terram Chaldæorum, et ipsam non videbit : ibique morietur.	13 But I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans--but he shall not see it--and there he shall die.
14 Et omnes qui circa eum sunt, præsidium ejus, et agmina ejus, dispergam in omnem ventum, et gladium evaginabo post eos.	14 All his retinue, his aides, and his troops I will scatter in every direction, and pursue them with the sword.
15 Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.	15 Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them over foreign lands.
16 Et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio, et fame, et pestilentia, ut enarrent omnia scelera eorum in gentibus ad quas ingredientur, et scient quia ego Dominus.	16 Yet I will leave a few of them to escape the sword, famine and pestilence, so that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations to which they will come; thus they shall know that I am the LORD.
17 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	17 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
18 Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede, sed et aquam tuam in festinatione et mœrore bibe.	18 Son of man, eat your bread trembling, and drink your water shaking with anxiety.
19 Et dices ad populum terræ : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad eos qui habitant in Jerusalem, in terra Israël : Panem suum in sollicitudine comedent, et aquam suam in desolatione bibent : ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua, propter iniquitatem omnium qui habitant in ea.	19 Then say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem (to the land of Israel): They shall eat their bread in anxiety and drink their water in horror, that their land may be emptied of the violence of all its inhabitants that now fills it.
20 Et civitates quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta, et scietis quia ego Dominus.	20 Inhabited cities shall be in ruins, and the land shall be a waste; thus you shall know that I am the LORD.
21 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	21 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
22 Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israël, dicentium : In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio ?	22 Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: "The days drag on, and no vision ever comes to anything"?
23 Ideo dic ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quiescere faciam proverbium istud, neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israël : et loquere ad eos quod appropinquaverint dies, et sermo omnis visionis.	23 Say to them therefore: Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to this proverb; they shall never quote it again in Israel. Rather, say to them: The days are at hand, and also the fulfillment of every vision.
24 Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israël :	24 There shall no longer be any false visions or deceitful divinations within the house of Israel, because it is I, the LORD, who will speak.
25 quia ego Dominus loquar, et quodcumque locutus fuero verbum, fiet, et non prolongabitur amplius : sed in diebus vestris, domus exasperans, loquar verbum, et faciam illud, dicit Dominus Deus.	25 Whatever I speak is final, and it shall be done without further delay. In your days, rebellious house, whatever I speak I will bring about, says the Lord GOD.
26 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	26 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
27 Fili hominis, ecce domus Israël dicentium : Visio quam hic videt, in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat.	27 Son of man, listen to the house of Israel saying, "The vision he sees is a long way off; he prophesies of the distant future!"
28 Propterea dic ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus : verbum quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.	28 Say to them therefore: Thus says the Lord GOD: None of my words shall be delayed any longer; whatever I speak is final, and it shall be done, says the Lord GOD.
