| 1 | And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying: | Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens: |
| 2 | Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem today. | Fili hominis, scribe tibi nomen diei huius, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Ierusalem hodie. |
| 3 | And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water into it. | Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pone ollam; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam. |
| 4 | Heap together into if the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones. | Congere frusta eius in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena. |
| 5 | Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of it. | Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea: efferbuit coctio eius, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius. |
| 6 | Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon it. | Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, ollae cuius rubigo in ea est, et rubigo eius non exivit de ea! per partes et per partes suas eiice eam: non cecidit super eam sors. |
| 7 | For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust. | Sanguis enim eius in medio eius est; super limpidissimam petram effudit illum: non effudit illum super terram, ut possit operiri pulvere. |
| 8 | And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered. | Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer, dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam, ne operiretur. |
| 9 | Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire. | Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae civitati sanguinum, cuius ego grandem faciam pyram! |
| 10 | Heap together the bones, which I will burn with Are: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed. | Congere ossa, quae igne succendam: consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent. |
| 11 | Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed. | Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat aes eius, et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius, et consumatur rubigo eius. |
| 12 | Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even by fire. | Multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo eius, neque per ignem. |
| 13 | Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee. | Immunditia tua execrabilis, quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis: sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te. |
| 14 | I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord. | Ego Dominus locutus sum: veniet, et faciam: non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor: iuxta vias tuas, et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicabo te, dicit Dominus. |
| 15 | And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: | Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: |
| 16 | Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep: neither shall thy tears run down. | Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga: et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrimae tuae. |
| 17 | Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners. | Ingemisce tacens: mortuorum luctum non facies: corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis: nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes. |
| 18 | So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me. | Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere: fecique mane sicut praeceperat mihi. |
| 19 | And the people said to me: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest? | Et dixit ad me populus: Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent quae tu facis? |
| 20 | And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying: | Et dixi ad eos: Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens: |
| 21 | Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword. | Loquere domui Israël: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra: filii vestri et filiae vestrae quas reliquistis, gladio cadent. |
| 22 | And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners. | Et facietis sicut feci: ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis: |
| 23 | You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother. | coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus: non plangetis, neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum. |
| 24 | And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. | Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum: iuxta omnia quae fecit, facietis cum venerit istud: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus. |
| 25 | And thou, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their daughters. | Et tu, fili hominis, ecce in die qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animae eorum, filios et filias eorum: |
| 26 | In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee: | in die illa, cum venerit fugiens ad te ut annuntiet tibi: |
| 27 | In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord. | in die, inquam illa, aperietur os tuum cum eo qui fugit, et loqueris, et non silebis ultra: erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus. |
