14 — Ezechiel

1And some of the ancients of Israel came to me, and sat before me.E venner da me alcuni de' seniori d'Israele, e si posero a sedere dinanzi a me.AND men of the ancients of Israel came to me, and sate before me.Et venerunt ad me viri seniorum Israël, et sederunt coram me. 2And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:E il Signore parlommi, e disse:And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 3Son of man, these men have placed their uncleannesses in their hearts, and have set up before their face the stumblingblock of their iniquity: and shall I answer when they inquire of me?Figliuolo dell'uomo, questi uomini portano ne' loro cuori le loro immondezze, tengono dinanzi al proprio volto lo scandalo della loro iniquità. Quand'ei m'interrogheranno, risponderò io forse a costoro?Sonne of man, These men haue put their vncleannes in their hartes, and the scandal of their iniquitie they haue set against their face: what, being asked shal I answer them?Fili hominis, viri isti posuerunt immunditias suas in cordibus suis, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerunt contra faciem suam: numquid interrogatus respondebo eis ? 4Therefore speak to them, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart, and set up the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him: I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses:Per questo parla loro, e dirai: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Qualunque uomo della casa d'Israele, che porti le sue immondezze in cuor suo, e lo scandalo di sua iniquità tenga davanti al proprio volto, e venga a trovar il Profeta, affine d'interrogar me per mezzo di questo, io Signore risponderò a lui secondo le molte sue immondezze,For this cause speake to them, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel, that shal put his vncleannes in his hart, & set the scandal of his iniquitie against his face, & shal come to the prophet asking me by him: I the Lord wil answer him in the multitude of his vncleannes:Propter hoc loquere eis, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Homo, homo de domo Israël, qui posuerit immunditias suas in corde suo, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerit contra faciem suam, et venerit ad prophetam interrogans per eum me: ego Dominus respondebo ei in multitudine immunditiarum suarum, 5That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols.Affinchè la casa d'Israele sia tradita dal proprio cuore, col quale si allontanaron da me per tutti i loro idoli.that the house of Israel may be taken in their hart, wherwith they haue reuolted from me in al their idols.ut capiatur domus Israël in corde suo, quo recesserunt a me in cunctis idolis suis.

6Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Be converted, and depart from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.Per questo di tu alla casa d'Israele: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Convertitevi, e ritiratevi da' vostri idoli, e non guardate più in viso tutte le vostre abbominazioni.Therfore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith our Lord God: Conuert, and depart from your idols, and from al your contaminations turne away your faces.Propterea dic ad domum Israël: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Convertimini, et recedite ab idolis vestris, et ab universis contaminationibus vestris avertite facies vestras. 7For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by myself.Perchè qualunque uomo della casa di Israele, o qualunque straniero, che sia proselito in Israele, se si alienerà da me, e porterà idoli nel cuor suo, e terrà dinanzi al proprio volto lo scandalo di sua iniquità, e verrà a trovare il Profeta, affine d'interrogar me per mezzo di questo, io Signore risponderò a lui da per me.Because man man of the house of Israel, and of the proselytes whosoeuer shal be a stranger in Israel, if he be alienated from me, and put his idols in his hart, and set the scandal of his iniquitie against his face, and come to the prophet to aske me by him: I the Lord wil answer him by my self.Quia homo, homo de domo Israël, et de proselytis quicumque advena fuerit in Israël, si alienatus fuerit a me, et posuerit idola sua in corde suo, et scandalum iniquitatis suæ statuerit contra faciem suam, et venerit ad prophetam ut interroget per eum me: ego Dominus respondebo ei per me: 8And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example, and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people: and you shall know that I am the Lord.Ed io getterò irato il mio sguardo sopra costui, e farò, ch'ei diventi esempio, e favola a tutti, e lo spergerò di mezzo al mio popolo, e conoscerete, ch'io sono il Signore.And I wil set my face vpon that man, and wil make him for an example, and a for a prouerbe, and wil destroy him out of the middes of my people: and you shal know that I am the Lord.et ponam faciem meam super hominem illum, et faciam eum in exemplum et in proverbium, et disperdam eum de medio populi mei: et scietis quia ego Dominus. 9And when the prophet shall err, and speak a word: I the Lord have deceived that prophet: and I will stretch forth my hand upon him, and will cut him off from the midst of my people Israel.E quando il profeta darà in errore, e parlerà, io Signore ho ingannato quel profeta; ed io stenderò la mia mano sopra di lui, e lo cancellerò dal ceto del popol mio a Israele.And the prophete when he shal erre, and shal speake a word: I the Lord haue deceiued that prophet: and I wil strech forth my hand vpon him, and wil rase him out of the middes of my people Israel.Et propheta cum erraverit, et locutus fuerit verbum, ego Dominus decepi prophetam illum, et extendam manum meam super illum, et delebo eum de medio populi mei Israël.

10And they shall bear their iniquity: according to the iniquity of him that inquireth, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.Ed ei porteranno la loro iniquità: quale l'iniquità di colui, che consulta, tale sarà l'iniquità del profeta;And they shal carie their iniquitie: according to the iniquitie of him that asketh, so shal the iniquitie of the prophet be.Et portabunt iniquitatem suam: juxta iniquitatem interrogantis, sic iniquitas prophetæ erit: 11That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, nor be polluted with all their transgressions: but may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord of hosts.Affinchè non si alieni più la casa d'Israele da me, né si contamini con tutte le sue prevaricazioni, ma siano essi mio popolo, ed io sia loro Dio, dice il Signor degli eserciti.That the house of Israel may no more erre from me, nor be polluted in al their preuarications: but may be my people, & I may be their God, saith the Lord of hostes.ut non erret ultra domus Israël a me, neque polluatur in universis prævaricationibus suis: sed sint mihi in populum, et ego sim eis in Deum, ait Dominus exercituum. 12And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:E il Signore parlommi, dicendo:And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 13Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of it.Figliuolo dell'uomo, quando la terra avrà peccato contro di me, prevaricando enormemente, io stenderò la mano mia contro di lei, e torrolle il sostentamento del pane, e manderò contro di essa la fame, e farò morire i suoi uomini, e i suoi giumenti.Sonne of man, the land when it shal sinne to me, that transgressing it transgresseth, I wil strechforth my hand vpon it, and wil breake the rod of the bread therof: and I wil send famine into it, and wil kil out of it man and beast.Fili hominis, terra cum peccaverit mihi, / ut prævaricetur prævaricans, / extendam manum meam super eam, / et conteram virgam panis ejus, / et immittam in eam famem, / et interficiam de ea hominem et jumentum. 14And if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts.Se in essa saran questi tre uomini. Noè, Daniele, e Giobbe, eglino colla loro giustizia salveranno le anime loro, dice il Signore degli eserciti.And if these three men shal be in the middes therof, Noe, Daniel, and Iob: they by their iustice shal deliuer their owne soules, saith the Lord of hostes.Et si fuerint tres viri isti in medio ejus, / Noë, Daniel, et Job, / ipsi justitia sua liberabunt animas suas, / ait Dominus exercituum.

15And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass because of the beasts:Che se io di più manderò fiere crudeli in quella terra per devastarla, ed ella diverrà inabitabile, né uomo vi passerà per timor delle fiere:And if I shal bring most euil beasts also vpon the land, to waste it; and it be without passage, for that there is none can passe because of the beasts:Quod si et bestias pessimas induxero super terram / ut vastem eam, et fuerit invia, / eo quod non sit pertransiens propter bestias: 16If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate.Questi tre uomini se in essa si troveranno (vivo io, dice il Signore Dio), non salveranno i figli loro, né le figlie, ma soli essi saranno liberati, e la terra sarà desolata.These three men if they shal be therin, I liue, I, saith our Lord, that they shal deliuer neither sonnes not daughters: but themselues alone shal be deliuered, and the land shal be made desolate.tres viri isti si fuerint in ea, / vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, / quia nec filios nec filias liberabunt, / sed ipsi soli liberabuntur, / terra autem desolabitur. 17Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of it:E se contro quella terra manderò io la spada, e dirò alla spada: Scorri la terra: e se io ucciderò in essa l'uomo, e il giumento,Or if I shal bring the sword in vpon that land, and shal say to the sword: Passe through the land: and shal kil out of it man and beast:Vel si gladium induxero super terram illam, / et dixero gladio: Transi per terram: / et interfecero de ea hominem et jumentum, 18And these three men be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall be delivered.E in essa si troveranno quei tre uomini, vivo io, dice il Signore Dio ei non salveranno i figli loro, né le figlie, ma essi soli saran salvati.And these three men shal be in the middes therof: I liue, I, saith our Lord God, they shal not deliuer sonnes not daughters, but themselues alone shal be deliuered.et tres viri isti fuerint in medio ejus: / vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, / non liberabunt filios neque filias, / sed ipsi soli liberabuntur. 19Or if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and pour out my indignation upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:Che se io in quella terra manderò anche la pestilenza; e l'ira mia spanderò sopra di lei per farvi macello, e per toglier da lei l'uomo, e il giumento;And if I shal send the pestilence also in vpon that land, and shal powre out mine indignation vpon it in bloud, to take away out of it man and beast:Si autem et pestilentiam immisero super terram illam, / et effudero indignationem meam super eam in sanguine, / ut auferam ex ea hominem et jumentum,

20And Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice.E saranno in essa Noè, e Daniele, e Giobbe, vivo io, dice il Signore Dio, non salveranno i figli loro, ne le figliuole, ma colla loro giustizia salveranno le anime loro;And Noe, and Daniel, and Iob shal be in the middes therof: liue I, saith our Lord God, that sonne and daughter they shal not deliuer: but themselues by their iustice shal deliuer their owne soules.et Noë, et Daniel, et Job fuerint in medio ejus: / vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, / quia filium et filiam non liberabunt, / sed ipsi justitia sua liberabunt animas suas. 21For thus saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast,Imperocché queste cose dice il signore Dio: Se i quattro peggiori flagelli io manderò contro Gerusalemme, la spada, la fame, le bestie feroci, e la pestilenza per uccidere in essa l'uomo e il giumento,Because thus saith our Lord: That and if I shal send in vpon Ierusalem my foure very sore iudgements, the sword, and famine, and euil beastes, and the pestilence, to kil out of it man, and beast:Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Quod etsi quatuor judicia mea pessima, / gladium, et famem, ac bestias malas, et pestilentiam, / immisero in Jerusalem, / ut interficiam de ea hominem et pecus, 22Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things that I have brought upon it.Rimarran però salvi de' suoi alcuni, i quali ne trarranno fuori i figli, e le figlie: ecco, che questi verran da voi, vedrete i loro costumi, e le loro opere e vi consolerete, delle sciagure, che io ho mandato sopra Gerusalemme, e di tutto il peso, ond'io la ho aggravata.Yet shal there be left in it saluation of some bringing out sonnes, and daughters: behold they shal go forth to you, and you shal see their way, and their inuentions: and you shal be comforted vpon the euil, that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem in al thinges, that I haue brought in vpon it.tamen relinquetur in ea salvatio educentium filios et filias: / ecce ipsi ingredientur ad vos, / et videbitis viam eorum et adinventiones eorum, / et consolabimini super malo quod induxi in Jerusalem, / in omnibus quæ importavi super eam. 23And they shall comfort you, when you shall see their ways, and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.E servirà a voi di consolazione il vedere i loro costumi, e le opere loro, e conoscerete, che non senza ragione ho fatto tutto quello, che ho fatto contro di lei, dice il Signore Dio.And they shal comfort you, when you shal see their way, and their inuentions: and you shal know that I haue not in vaine done al thinges, which I haue done in it, saith our Lord God.Et consolabuntur vos, / cum videritis viam eorum / et adinventiones eorum: / et cognoscetis quod non frustra fecerim omnia quæ feci in ea, / ait Dominus Deus.
