VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Tu autem, fili hominis, propheta super montes Israël, et dices : Montes Israël, audite verbum Domini.	1 “But as for you, son of man, prophesy over the mountains of Israel, and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord.
2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis : Euge, altitudines sempiternæ in hæreditatem datæ sunt nobis :	2 Thus says the Lord God: Because the enemy has said about you: ‘It is well! The everlasting heights have been given to us as an inheritance!’
3 propterea vaticinare, et dic : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, et facti in hæreditatem reliquis gentibus, et ascendistis super labium linguæ et opprobrium populi,	3 because of this, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have been made desolate, and you have been trampled on every side, and you have been made into an inheritance for the remainder of the nations, and because you rose up, over the tip of the tongue and over the shame of the people,
4 propterea, montes Israël, audite verbum Domini Dei. Hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus, torrentibus, vallibusque et desertis, parietinis et urbibus derelictis, quæ depopulatæ sunt et subsannatæ a reliquis gentibus per circuitum.	4 because of this, O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the torrents, and to the valleys, and to the deserts, and to the ruins, and to the forsaken cities, which have been depopulated and ridiculed by the remainder of the nations all around:
5 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis gentibus, et de Idumæa universa, quæ dederunt terram meam sibi in hæreditatem cum gaudio, et toto corde et ex animo, et ejecerunt eam ut vastarent :	5 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal, I have spoken about the remainder of the nations, and about all of Idumea, who have given my land to themselves, joyfully, as an inheritance, and with all the heart and mind, and who have cast it out, so that they may lay waste to it.
6 idcirco vaticinare super humum Israël, et dices montibus et collibus, jugis et vallibus : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego in zelo meo et in furore meo locutus sum, eo quod confusionem gentium sustinueritis.	6 Therefore, prophesy over the soil of Israel, and you shall say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I have spoken in my zeal and in my fury, because you have endured the shame of the Gentiles.
7 Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ego levavi manum meam, ut gentes quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsæ confusionem suam portent.	7 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, so that the Gentiles, who are all around you, will themselves bear their shame.
8 Vos autem, montes Israël, ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israël : prope enim est ut veniat.	8 But as for you, O mountains of Israel, spring forth your branches, and bear your fruit, to my people Israel. For they are close to their advent.
9 Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos : et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.	9 For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be plowed, and you will receive seed.
10 Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israël : et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur.	10 And I will multiply men among you and among all the house of Israel. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be restored.
11 Et replebo vos hominibus et jumentis, et multiplicabuntur, et crescent : et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, bonisque donabo majoribus quam habuistis ab initio : et scietis quia ego Dominus.	11 And I will fill you again with men and with cattle. And they will be multiplied, and they will increase. And I will cause you to live as from the beginning, and I will give you even greater gifts than those you had from the start. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
12 Et adducam super vos homines, populum meum Israël, et hæreditate possidebunt te : et eris eis in hæreditatem, et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis.	12 And I will lead men over you, over my people Israel, and they will possess you as an inheritance. And you shall be to them as an inheritance. And you shall no longer be permitted to be without them.
13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis : Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam :	13 Thus says the Lord God: Because they are saying about you, ‘You are a woman who devours men, and you are strangling your own nation,’
14 propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus.	14 because of this, you shall no longer consume men, and you shall no longer harm your own nation, says the Lord God.
15 Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis : et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.	15 Neither will I permit men to discover in you the shame of the Gentiles any more. And you shall never again bear the reproach of the peoples. And you shall not send your people away any more, says the Lord God.”
16 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :	16 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 Fili hominis, domus Israël habitaverunt in humo sua, et polluerunt eam in viis suis et in studiis suis : juxta immunditiam menstruatæ facta est via eorum coram me.	17 “Son of man, the house of Israel lived on their own soil, and they defiled it with their ways and with their intentions. Their way, in my sight, became like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.
18 Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.	18 And so I poured out my indignation upon them, because of the blood which they shed upon the land, and because they defiled it with their idols.
19 Et dispersi eos in gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras : juxta vias eorum et adinventiones eorum judicavi eos.	19 And I dispersed them among the Gentiles, and they have been scattered among the lands. I have judged them according to their ways and their plans.
20 Et ingressi sunt ad gentes ad quas introierunt : et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, cum diceretur de eis : Populus Domini iste est, et de terra ejus egressi sunt.	20 And when they walked among the Gentiles, to whom they had entered, they defiled my holy name, though it was being said about them: ‘This is the people of the Lord,’ and ‘They went forth from his land.’
21 Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israël in gentibus ad quas ingressi sunt.	21 But I have spared my holy name, which the house of Israel has defiled among the Gentiles, to whom they entered.
22 Idcirco dices domui Israël : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israël, sed propter nomen sanctum meum, quod polluistis in gentibus ad quas intrastis.	22 For this reason, you shall say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: I will act, not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have defiled among the Gentiles, to whom you entered.
23 Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum quod pollutum est inter gentes, quod polluistis in medio earum : ut sciant gentes quia ego Dominus, ait Dominus exercituum, cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis.	23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was defiled among the Gentiles, which you have defiled in their midst. So may the Gentiles know that I am the Lord, says the Lord of hosts, when I will have been sanctified in you, before their eyes.
24 Tollam quippe vos de gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.	24 Certainly, I will take you away from the Gentiles, and I will gather you together from all the lands, and I will lead you into your own land.
25 Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos.	25 And I will pour clean water over you, and you shall be cleansed from all your filth, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
26 Et dabo vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri : et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, et dabo vobis cor carneum.	26 And I will give to you a new heart, and I will place in you a new spirit. And I will take away the heart of stone from your body, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.
27 Et spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri : et faciam ut in præceptis meis ambuletis, et judicia mea custodiatis et operemini.	27 And I will place my Spirit in your midst. And I will act so that you may walk in my precepts and keep my judgments, and so that you may fulfill them.
28 Et habitabitis in terra quam dedi patribus vestris : et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.	28 And you shall live in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris : et vocabo frumentum et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.	29 And I will save you from all your filth. And I will call for grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not impose a famine upon you.
30 Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in gentibus.	30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you may no longer bear the disgrace of famine among the nations.
31 Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum : et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ et scelera vestra.	31 And you shall remember your very wicked ways and your intentions, which were not good. And you will be displeased by your own iniquities and your own crimes.
32 Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis : confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israël.	32 It is not for your sakes that I will act, says the Lord God; let this be known to you. Be confounded and ashamed over your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : In die qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et inhabitari fecero urbes, et instauravero ruinosa,	33 Thus says the Lord God: In the day when I will have cleansed you from all your iniquities, and when I will have caused the cities to be inhabited, and when I will have restored the ruinous places,
34 et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,	34 and when the deserted land will have been cultivated, which previously was desolate to the eyes of all who passed by,
35 dicent : Terra illa inculta facta est ut hortus voluptatis : et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.	35 then they shall say: ‘This uncultivated land has become a garden of delight, and the cities, which were deserted and destitute and overturned, have been settled and fortified.’
36 Et scient gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta : ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.	36 And the Gentiles, those who remain around you, shall know that I, the Lord, have built up what was destroyed, and have planted what was uncultivated. I, the Lord, have spoken and acted.
37 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israël, ut faciam eis : multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum,	37 Thus says the Lord God: Even in this time, the house of Israel shall find me, so that I may act for them. I will multiply them like a flock of men,
38 ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Jerusalem in solemnitatibus ejus : sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum : et scient quia ego Dominus.	38 like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her solemnities. So shall the deserted cities be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
