Ezechielis 12

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	1 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
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 are living among a tribe of rebels who have eyes and never see, they have ears andnever hear, because they are a tribe of rebels.
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 So, son of man, pack an exile's bundle and set off for exile by daylight while they watch. You will leaveyour home and go somewhere else while they watch. Then perhaps they will see that they are a tribe of rebels.
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 will pack your baggage like an exile's bundle, by daylight, while they watch, and leave like an exilein the evening, while they watch.
5 Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem, et egredieris per eum.	5 While they watch, make a hole in the wal , and go out 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 watch, you wil shoulder your pack and go out into the dark; you wil cover your face so thatyou cannot see the ground, since I have made you an omen 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 had been told. I packed my baggage like an exile's bundle, by daylight; and in the evening Imade a hole through the wall with my hands; then I went out into the dark and shouldered my pack while theywatched.
8 Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens :	8 Next morning the word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
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, did not that tribe of rebels, ask you, "What are you 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 Say, "The Lord Yahweh says this: This prophecy concerns Jerusalem and the whole House of Israelwho live there."
11 Dic : Ego portentum vestrum : quomodo feci, sic fiet illis : in transmigrationem et in captivitatem ibunt.	11 Say, "I am an omen for you; as I have done, so wil be done to them; they will be deported 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 Their prince wil shoulder his pack in the dark and go out through the wal ; a hole will be made to lethim out; he wil cover his face, so that he cannot see the country.
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 I shal throw my net over him and catch him in my mesh; I shall take him to Babylon, to the land ofthe Chaldaeans, though he wil not see it; and there he wil die.
14 Et omnes qui circa eum sunt, præsidium ejus, et agmina ejus, dispergam in omnem ventum, et gladium evaginabo post eos.	14 And al those in attendance on him, his army and al his troops, I shal scatter to al the winds andunsheathe the sword behind them.
15 Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.	15 Then they wil know that I am Yahweh, when I scatter them throughout the nations and disperse themin foreign countries.
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 But I shall let a few of them escape the sword, famine and plague, to describe al their loathsomepractices to the peoples among whom they wil go, so that these too may know that I am Yahweh." '
17 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	17 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as fol ows,
18 Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede, sed et aquam tuam in festinatione et mœrore bibe.	18 'Son of man, you are to tremble as you eat your food and shudder apprehensively as you drink yourwater,
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 and you are to say to the people of the country, "The Lord Yahweh says this to the inhabitants ofJerusalem. They wil shudder apprehensively as they eat their food, and drink their water in fear, so that thecountry and its population may be freed from the violence of its inhabitants.
20 Et civitates quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta, et scietis quia ego Dominus.	20 When the populous cities have been destroyed and the country has been reduced to desert, then youwil know that I am Yahweh." '
21 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	21 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as fol ows,
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 do you understand by the saying pronounced over the land of Israel, "Days go byand visions fade"?
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 'Very wel , tell them, "The Lord Yahweh says this: I shal put an end to this saying; it will never beused in Israel again." Instead, tel them: "The days are coming when every vision wil come true,
24 Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israël :	24 for there will be no more futile visions or deceptive prophecy in the House of Israel,
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 since I, Yahweh, shal speak. And what I shal say wil come true without delay; for what I shall say, Ishall perform in your own lifetime, you tribe of rebels -- declares the Lord Yahweh." '
26 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	26 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as fol ows,
27 Fili hominis, ecce domus Israël dicentium : Visio quam hic videt, in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat.	27 'Son of man, the House of Israel is now saying, "The vision that this man sees concerns the distantfuture; he is prophesying for times far ahead."
28 Propterea dic ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus : verbum quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.	28 Very wel , tell them, "The Lord Yahweh says this: There wil be no further delay in the fulfil ing of anyof my words. What I have said shal be done now -- declares the Lord Yahweh." '
