| 1 | And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel. | Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, quodcumque inveneris, comede: comede volumen istud, et vadens loquere ad filios Israël. |
| 2 | And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book: | Et aperui os meum, et cibavit me volumine illo: |
| 3 | And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth. | et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, venter tuus comedet, et viscera tua complebuntur volumine isto quod ego do tibi. Et comedi illud, et factum est in ore meo sicut mel dulce. |
| 4 | And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them. | Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, vade ad domum Israël, et loqueris verba mea ad eos. |
| 5 | For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel: | Non enim ad populum profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae tu mitteris ad domum Israël: |
| 6 | Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee. | neque ad populos multos profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae, quorum non possis audire sermones: et si ad illos mittereris, ipsi audirent te: |
| 7 | But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart. | domus autem Israël nolunt audire te, quia nolunt audire me: omnis quippe domus Israël attrita fronte est, et duro corde. |
| 8 | Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads. | Ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebus eorum, et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum: |
| 9 | I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house. | ut adamantem et ut silicem dedi faciem tuam: ne timeas eos, neque metuas a facie eorum, quia domus exasperans est. |
| 10 | And he said to me: Son of man, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee: | Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, omnes sermones meos quos ego loquor ad te, assume in corde tuo, et auribus tuis audi: |
| 11 | And go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear and will forbear. | et vade, ingredere ad transmigrationem, ad filios populi tui, et loqueris ad eos: et dices eis: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: si forte audiant et quiescant. |
| 12 | And the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying: Blessed be the glory of the Lord, from his place. | Et assumpsit me spiritus, et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnae: Benedicta gloria Domini de loco suo: |
| 13 | And the noise of the wings of the living creatures striking one against another, and the noise of the wheels following the living creatures, and the noise of a great commotion. | et vocem alarum animalium percutientium alteram ad alteram, et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia, et vocem commotionis magnae. |
| 14 | The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me. | Spiritus quoque levavit me, et assumpsit me: et abii amarus in indignatione spiritus mei: manus enim Domini erat mecum, confortans me. |
| 15 | And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them. | Et veni ad transmigrationem, ad acervum novarum frugum, ad eos qui habitabant iuxta flumen Chobar: et sedi ubi illi sedebant, et mansi ibi septem diebus moerens in medio eorum. |
| 16 | And at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying: | Cum autem pertransissent septem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: |
| 17 | Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me. | Fili hominis, speculatorem dedi te domui Israël, et audies de ore meo verbum, et annuntiabis eis ex me. |
| 18 | If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand. | Si, dicente me ad impium: Morte morieris, non annuntiaveris ei, neque locutus fueris ut avertatur a via sua impia et vivat, ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur, sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram. |
| 19 | But if thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. | Si autem tu annuntiaveris impio, et ille non fuerit conversus ab impietate sua et a via sua impia, ipse quidem in iniquitate sua morietur: tu autem animam tuam liberasti. |
| 20 | Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy hand. | Sed et si conversus iustus a iustitia sua fuerit, et fecerit iniquitatem, ponam offendiculum coram eo: ipse morietur quia non annuntiasti ei. In peccato suo morietur, et non erunt in memoria iustitiae eius quas fecit: sanguinem vero eius de manu tua requiram. |
| 21 | But if thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy soul. | Si autem tu annuntiaveris iusto ut non peccet iustus, et ille non peccaverit, vivens vivet, quia annuntiasti ei, et tu animam tuam liberasti. |
| 22 | And the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee. | Et facta est super me manus Domini, et dixit ad me: Surgens egredere in campum, et ibi loquar tecum. |
| 23 | And I rose up, and went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face. | Et surgens egressus sum in campum: et ecce ibi gloria Domini stabat, quasi gloria quam vidi iuxta fluvium Chobar: et cecidi in faciem meam. |
| 24 | And the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet: and he spoke to me, and said to me: Go in; and shut thyself up in the midst of thy house. | Et ingressus est in me spiritus, et statuit me super pedes meos, et locutus est mihi, et dixit ad me: Ingredere, et includere in medio domus tuae. |
| 25 | And thou, O son of man, behold they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them: and thou shalt not go forth from the midst of them. | Et tu, fili hominis, ecce data sunt super te vincula, et ligabunt te in eis, et non egredieris de medio eorum. |
| 26 | And I will make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because they are a provoking house. | Et linguam tuam adhaerere faciam palato tuo, et eris mutus, nec quasi vir obiurgans, quia domus exasperans est. |
| 27 | But when I shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a provoking house. | Cum autem locutus fuero tibi, aperiam os tuum, et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Qui audit, audiat, et qui quiescit, quiescat: quia domus exasperans est. |
