16 — Ezechiel

1And 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: 2Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.Figliuolo dell'uomo, fa tu sapere a Gerusalemme le sue abbominazioni,Sonne of man make knowne to Ierusalem her abominations:Fili hominis, notas fac Jerusalem abominationes suas, 3And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite.E dirai: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio di Gerusalemme: La tua stirpe, e la tua origine è dalla terra di Chanaan. Tuo padre Amorreo, e la tua madre Cetea.and thou shalt say: Thus saith our Lord God to Ierusalem: Thy roote, and thy generation of the land of Chanaan, thy father an Amorrheite, and thy mother a Cetheite.et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Jerusalem: Radix tua et generatio tua de terra Chanaan: pater tuus Amorrhæus, et mater tua Cethæa. 4And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts.E allorché tu venisti alla luce, il dì della tua nascita non ti fu tagliato l'ombellico, né fosti lavata con acqua salutare, né aspersa di sale, né involta in fasce.And when thou wast borne, in the day of thy birth thy nauil was not cut, and thou wast not washed with water to health, nor salted with salt, nor swadled in cloutes.Et quando nata es, in die ortus tui non est præcisus umbilicus tuus, et aqua non es lota in salutem, nec sale salita, nec involuta pannis. 5No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born.Né occhio d'uomo s'impietosì per te, onde alcuna di queste cose per compassione facesse a te, ma fosti gettata sul suolo con ispregio della tua vita il giorno, che tu nascesti.No eye had mercie on thee to do vnto thee one of these thinges, hauing pitie on thee: but thou wast throwen forth vpon the face of the earth in the abiection of thy soule, in the day that thou wast borne.Non pepercit super te oculus, ut faceret tibi unum de his, misertus tui: sed projecta es super faciem terræ in abjectione animæ tuæ in die qua nata es. 6And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood: and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.Ma passando io vicino a te, ti vidi, imbrattata del proprio tuo sangue; ed io dissi a te quando nel tuo sangue eri involta, Vivi, ti dissi, o tu immersa nel sangue tuo, vivi.And passing by thee, I saw thee to be troden downe in thy bloud: and I said to thee when thou wast in thy bloud: Liue. I said to thee, I say: In thy bloud liue.Transiens autem per te, vidi te conculcari in sanguine tuo: et dixi tibi cum esses in sanguine tuo: Vive, dixi, inquam, tibi: in sanguine tuo vive.

7I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman’s ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion.Ti feci crescere come l'erba del campo, e crescesti, e ingrandisti, e avanzasti (negli anni), e giungesti al tempo degli abbigliamenti donneschi al tempo di pubertà, ma tu eri ignuda, e piena di confusione.Multiplied as the spring of the field haue I made thee: and thou wast multiplied, and made great, and thou wentest in, and camest to the ornaments of wemen: thy breastes swelled, and thy heare budded: and thou wast naked, and ful of confusion.Multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te: et multiplicata es, et grandis effecta, et ingressa es, et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem: ubera tua intumuerunt, et pilus tuus germinavit: et eras nuda, et confusione plena. 8And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy, and I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine.E passai vicino a te, e ti vidi, e quel tuo tempo, era il tempo degli amanti, ed io distesi sopra di te il mio pallio, e copersi la tua ignominia: e feci a te giuramento, ed un patto feci con te (dice il Signore Dio) e tu fostiAnd I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time, the time of louers: and I spred my garment ouer thee, and couered thy ignominie. And I sware to thee, and I entered a couenant with thee: saith our Lord God: & thou wast made myne.Et transivi per te, et vidi te: et ecce tempus tuum, tempus amantium: et expandi amictum meum super te, et operui ignominiam tuam: et juravi tibi, et ingressus sum pactum tecum, ait Dominus Deus, et facta es mihi. 9And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil.E ti lavai con acqua, e ti nettai dal tuo sangue, e ti unsi con olio.And I washed thee with water, and made cleane thy bloud from of thee: and I anoynted thee with oile.Et lavi te aqua, et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te, et unxi te oleo. 10And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shod thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments.E ti rivestii di abiti ricamati, e ti diedi calzari di color di giacinto, e cintura di bisso, e ti addobbai di finissimo manto.And I clothed thee with diuers colours, & shod thee with hyacinth: and I girded thee with silke, and clothed thee with fine garments.Et vestivi te discoloribus, et calceavi te janthino, et cinxi te bysso, et indui te subtilibus:

11I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck.E ti adornai con magnificenza, e misi i braccialetti alle tue mani, e collana al tuo collo.And I adorned thee with ornament, and gaue bracelettes on thy handes, and a cheine about thy necke.et ornavi te ornamento, et dedi armillas in manibus tuis, et torquem circa collum tuum: 12And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.E ornai la tua faccia di pendenti, e le orecchie cogli orecchini, e la tua testa colla corona.And I gaue a iewel vpon thy face, and ringes to thine eares, and a crowne of beautie on thy head.et dedi inaurem super os tuum, et circulos auribus tuis, et coronam decoris in capite tuo. 13And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a queen.E tu fosti abbellita d'oro, e d'argento, e vestita di bisso, e di abiti ricamati a molti colori: Ti fu dato a mangiare del fior di farina, il miele, e l'olio, e diventasti bella grandemente oltre modo, e arrivasti a regnareAnd thou wast adorned with gold, and siluer, and wast clothed with silke, & embrodered worke, and manie colours: thou hast eaten floure, and honie, and oile, and wast made very beautiful excedingly: and didst prosper to a kingdom.Et ornata es auro et argento, et vestita es bysso et polymito et multicoloribus: similam, et mel, et oleum comedisti: et decora facta es vehementer nimis, et profecisti in regnum. 14And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.E il tuo nome si sparse tralle nazioni a motivo di tua bellezza, perchè tu eri perfetta nella bellezza, che io stesso avea posta in te, dice il Signore Dio.And thy name went forth into the Gentils, because of thy beautie: because thou wast perfect in my beautie, which I had put vpon thee, saith our Lord God.Et egressum est nomen tuum in gentes propter speciem tuam, quia perfecta eras in decore meo quem posueram super te, dicit Dominus Deus. 15But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.E superba di tua bellezza, ti disonorasti quasi padrona di te, ed esponesti la tua disonestà ad ogni passaggiero per darti a lui.And hauing confidence in thy beautie thou hast fornicated in thy name: and thou hast layd forth thy fornication to euerie passenger to be made his.Et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua, fornicata es in nomine tuo: et exposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti, et ejus fieres.

16And taking of thy garments thou hast made thee high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter.E prese le tue vestimenta, ne lavorasti ornamenti pe' luoghi eccelsi, dove tu talmente peccasti, che cosa simile mai non fu, né sarà.And taking of thy garments thou madest thee idoles embrodred on each side: & thou didst fornicate vpon them, as hath not bene done, nor shal not hereafter.Et sumens de vestimentis tuis, fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta, et fornicata es super eis sicut non est factum, neque futurum est. 17And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them.E presi gli ornamenti di tua gloria fatti col mio oro, e col mio argento, i quali avev'io dati a te, ne facesti immagini d'uomini, e con questi hai peccato.And thou tookest the vessels of thy beautie, of my gold, and my siluer, which I gaue thee: and thou madest thee images of men, and hast fornicated in them.Et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo atque argento meo, quæ dedi tibi, et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas, et fornicata es in eis. 18And thou tookest thy garments of divers colours, and coveredst them: and settest my oil and my sweet incense before them.E le tue vestimenta a molti colori impiegasti a coprire le immagini, e il mio olio, e il mio timiama ponesti davanti ad esse.And thou tookest thy garments of manie colours, and coueredst them: and mine oile, and mine incense thou didst put before them.Et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria, et operuisti illas, et oleum meum et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis. 19And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God.E il mio pane, che io diedi a te, e il fior di farina, e l'olio, e il miele, ond'io ti nutriva, lo presentasti al loro cospetto in obblazione di odor soave: e così fu, dice il Signore Dio.And my bread, which I gaue thee, the floure, and oile, and honie, wherwith I haue nourished thee, thou didst set in their sight for an odour of sweetnes, and it was done, saith our Lord God.Et panem meum quem dedi tibi, similam, et oleum, et mel, quibus enutrivi te, posuisti in conspectu eorum in odorem suavitatis: et factum est, ait Dominus Deus. 20And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and hast sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small?E prendesti i tuoi figli, e le tue figliuole, che tu avevi a me generate, e le immolasti ad essi, perchè il fuoco le divorasse. E ella leggera cosa la tua fornicazione!And thou hast taken thy sonnes, and thy daughters, which thou didst begete to me: & hast immolated the same vnto them to deuoure. Why, is thy fornication smal?Et tulisti filios tuos et filias tuas quas generasti mihi, et immolasti eis ad devorandum. Numquid parva est fornicatio tua ?

21Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire.Immolasti i miei figli, e gli donasti agl'idoli, a' quali li consagrasti.Thou hast immolated my sonnes, and hast geuen them, consecrating them to the idols.Immolasti filios meos, et dedisti, illos consecrans, eis. 22And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood.E dopo tutte le abbominazioni, e fornicazioni tue non ti se' ricordata de' giorni di tua adolescenza, quando eri ignuda, e piena di confusione, e involta nel sangue tuo.And after al thine abominations, and fornications, thou wast not mindful of the dayes of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and ful of confusion, troden downe in thy bloud.Et post omnes abominationes tuas et fornicationes, non es recordata dierum adolescentiæ tuæ, quando eras nuda et confusione plena, conculcata in sanguine tuo. 23And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God)E avvenne, che dopo tanta tua malvagità (guai, guai a te, dice il Signore Dio)And it chanced after al thy malice (wo, wo to thee, faith our Lord God)Et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam (væ, væ tibi ! ait Dominus Deus), 24That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street.Ti fabbricasti dei lupanari, e alzasti postriboli in tutte le piazze.thou didst also build thee a stewes, and madest thee a brothel house in al streetes.et ædificasti tibi lupanar, et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis. 25At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.Ad ogni capo di strada tu ponesti il segno di tua prostituzione, e abbominabile rendesti la tua beltà, e ti abbandonasti a qualunque passaggiero, e moltiplicasti le tue fornicazioni.At euerie head of the way hast thou built a signe of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beautie abominable: and hast diuided thy feete to euerie one that passeth by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.Ad omne caput viæ ædificasti signum prostitutionis tuæ, et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum: et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti, et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas: 26And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me.E co' figli dell'Egitto peccasti, vicini tuoi di grosse membra, e aggiungesti fornicazione a fornicazione per irritarmi.And thou hast fornicated with the children of Aegypt thy neighbours of great flesh, & hast multiplied thy fornication to prouoke me.et fornicata es cum filiis Ægypti, vicinis tuis, magnarum carnium: et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad irritandum me.

27Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.Ecco che io stenderò la mia mano sopra di te, e toglierò a te le cose tue sante, e ti abbandonerò al volere delle figlie della Palestina, le quali ti odiano, ed han rossore del tuo vivere scellerato.Behold I wil strech out my hand vpon thee, and wil take away thy iustification: and I wil geue thee into the soules of the daughters of Palestine that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.Ecce ego extendam manum meam super te, et auferam justificationem tuam, et dabo te in animas odientium te filiarum Palæstinarum, quæ erubescunt in via tua scelerata. 28Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast not yet satisfied: and after thou hadst played the harlot with them, even so thou wast not contented.Ma tu, non essendo ancor sazia, hai peccato co' figli degli Assirj; e neppur dopo tali fornicazioni se' stata contenta.And thou hast committed fornication with the sonnes of the Assyrians, because neither as yet wast thou filled:Et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum eo quod necdum fueris expleta: et postquam fornicata es, nec sic es satiata: 29Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast thou satisfied.E moltiplicasti le tue fornicazioni nella terra di Chanaan con i Caldei, e neppur con questo se' stata sazia.and after thou didst fornicate, neither so wast thou saciated.et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in terra Chanaan cum Chaldæis, et nec sic satiata es. 30Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute?In qual modo purificherò io il tuo cuore, dice il Signore Dio, mentre queste opere tutte tu fai proprie di donna peccatrice, e sfacciata?And thou didst multiplie thy fornication in the Land of Chanaan with the Chaldees: and neither so wast thou saciated. Wherin shal I clense thy hart, saith our Lord God: wheras thou doest al these the workes of a woman that is a whore, and malapert?In quo mundabo cor tuum, ait Dominus Deus, cum facias omnia hæc opera mulieris meretricis et procacis ? 31Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price,Perocché tu edificasti i tuoi postriboli a tutti i capi di strade, e in ogni piazza ti facesti un luogo eccelso, ne se stata come una meretrice, la quale colla schifiltà si fa accrescere il prezzo,Because thou hast built thy brothel house in the head of euerie way, and thy excelse thou hast made in euerie strete, neither becamest thou as an harlot that by disdayne augmenteth the price,Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viæ, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea: nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium, 32But is an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband.Ma come una adultera, che invece del proprio marito adesca stranieri.but as a woman aduouteresse, that ouer her husband bringeth in strangers.sed quasi mulier adultera, quæ super virum suum inducit alienos.

33Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast given hire to all thy lovers, and thou hast given them gifts to come to thee from every side, to commit fornication with thee.Alle altre meretrici si dà mercede, ma tu l'hai data a tutti i tuoi amatori, e facevi loro dei donativi, perchè da ogni parte a te venissero, per teco peccare.To al harlots are rewards geuen: but thou hast geuen rewardes to al thy louers, & thou didst geue them giftes to come vnto thee on euerie side, to fornicate with thee. And in thee it was doneOmnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes: tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis, et dona donabas eis, ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum. 34And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication, for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee.Ed è avvenuto in te il contrario di quel, che costumasi colle donne di mala vita, e non sarà dopo di te simil fornicazione; perocché nell'aver tu dato mercede, e nel non aver ricevuta mercede, è avvenuto in te il rovescio.contrarie to the custome of wemen in thy fornications, and after thee there shal be no fornication: for in that thou gauest rewardes, and didst not take rewardes, it hath bene done contrarie in thee.Factumque est in te contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis, et post te non erit fornicatio: in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes, et mercedes non accepisti, factum est in te contrarium. 35Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord.Per questo, o donna peccatrice, ascolta la parola del Signore.Therfore heare ô harlot the word of our Lord.Propterea, meretrix, audi verbum Domini. 36Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest them:Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Perchè tu hai gittato il tuo denaro, ed hai renduta pubblica la tua ignominia nelle tue fornicazioni co' tuoi amatori; e nelle abbominazioni de' tuoi simulacri colla strage de' tuoi figliuoli, che ad essi offeristi;Thus saith our Lord God: Because thy brasse is powred out, and thine ignominie is reueled in thy fornications vpon thy louers, and vpon the idols of thine abominations in the bloud of thy children, whom thou gauest them:Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia effusum est æs tuum et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis super amatores tuos, et super idola abominationum tuarum, in sanguine filiorum tuorum quos dedisti eis,

37Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy nakedness.Ecco che io ragunerò tutti i tuoi amatori, co' quali, hai peccato, e tutti quelli, che tu amavi, e tutti quelli, che tu avevi in odio, e li ragunerò contro di te da tutte parti, ed avanti ad essi manifesterò la tua ignominia, ed ei vedranno tutte le tue turpitudini.Behold I wil gather together al thy louers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, & al, whom thou hast loued, with al, whom thou didst hate: and I wil gather them together vpon thee on euerie side, and wil discouer thine ignominie before them, and they shal see al thy turpitude.ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos quibus commista es, et omnes quos dilexisti, cum universis quos oderas: et congregabo eos super te undique, et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis, et videbunt omnem turpitudinem tuam. 38And I will judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.E farò giudizio di te come di adultera, e come di sanguinaria; e ti punirò con vendetta di furore, e di gelosia.And I wil iudge thee by the iudgements of aduouteresses, and them that shed bloud: and I wil geue thee into bloud of furie and zele.Et judicabo te judiciis adulterarum, et effundentium sanguinem: et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli. 39And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.E ti darò in balia di coloro, ed ei distruggeranno il tuo lupanare, e ruineranno il tuo postribolo, e ti spoglieranno delle tue vestimenta, e porteranno via tutto quello, onde tu eri bella, e ti lasceranno ignuda, e piena d'ignominia:And I wil geue thee into their handes, and they shal destroy thy brothel house, and throw downe thy stewes: and they shal turne thee naked out of thy garments, and shal take away the vessels of thy beautie: and shal leaue thee naked, and ful of ignominie.Et dabo te in manus eorum, et destruent lupanar tuum, et demolientur prostibulum tuum: et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et auferent vasa decoris tui, et derelinquent te nudam, plenamque ignominia: 40And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords.E rauneran contro di te la moltitudine, e ti lapideranno senza pietà, e ti trafiggeranno colle loro spade.And they shal bring vpon thee a multitude, and they shal stone thee with stones, & shal murder thee with their swords.et adducent super te multitudinem, et lapidabunt te lapidibus, et trucidabunt te gladiis suis:

41And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more.E le tue case daranno alle fiamme, e faran giudizio di te alla presenza di moltissime donne, e tu finirai di fornicare, e non pagherai più mercede.And they shal burne thy houses with fire, and shal do iudgementes in thee in the eyes of very manie wemen: and thou shalt cease to fornicate, and shalt geue rewardes no more.et comburent domos tuas igni, et facient in te judicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum. Et desines fornicari, et mercedes ultra non dabis: 42And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more.E avrà posa l'indegnazione mia verso di te, e la gelosia, che io aveva per te, passerà, e starò in quiete, nel più mi adirerò.And mine indignation shal rest in thee: and my zele shal be taken away from thee, and I wil cease, and be angrie no more.et requiescet indignatio mea in te, et auferetur zelus meus a te: et quiescam, nec irascar amplius. 43Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.Perchè tu non ti se' ricordata de' giorni di tua adolescenza, e con queste cose tutte mi hai provocato; per questo io pure sul tuo capo ho fatto cader le opere tue, dice il Signore Dio, e non ti ho trattata secondo le tue scelleratezze nel tempo di tutte le tue abbominazioni.For that thou hast not remembred the dayes of thy youth, and hast prouoked me in al these: wherfore I also haue geuen thy wayes on thy head, saith our Lord God, and I haue not done according to thy wicked dedes in al thine abominations.Eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adolescentiæ tuæ, et provocasti me in omnibus his, quapropter et ego vias tuas in capite tuo dedi, ait Dominus Deus, et non feci juxta scelera tua in omnibus abominationibus tuis. 44Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.Ecco che chiunque ama i proverbi, ripeterà questo sopra di te, dicendo: Quale la madre, tale la figlia di lei.Behold euerie one, that speaketh a common prouerbe, shal take vp that against thee, saying: As the mother, so also her daughter.Ecce omnis qui dicit vulgo proverbium, in te assumet illud, dicens: Sicut mater, ita et filia ejus.

45Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.Veramente se' tu figlia di tua madre, che abbandonò il suo marito, e i suoi figliuoli; e sorella se' tu delle tue sorelle, che rigettarono i lor mariti, e i loro figli: la madre vostra Cetea, e il padre vostro Amorreo.Thou art the daughter of thy mother, which did cast of her husband, and her children: and thou art sister of thy sisters, which did cast of their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cetheite, & your father an Amorrheite.Filia matris tuæ es tu, quæ projecit virum suum et filios suos: et soror sororum tuarum es tu, quæ projecerunt viros suos et filios suos: mater vestra Cethæa, et pater vester Amorrhæus. 46And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters.E tua sorella maggiore ell'è Samaria, e le figlie di lei, che abitano alla tua sinistra: e la tua minor sorella, che abita alla tua destra, ell'è Sodoma, e le figliuole di lei.And thy elder sister, Samaria, she and her daughters, that dwel on thy left hand, and thy sister yonger then thou, which dwelleth on thy right hand Sodom, & her daughters.Et soror tua major, Samaria, ipsa et filiæ ejus, quæ habitant ad sinistram tuam: soror autem tua minor te, quæ habitat a dextris tuis, Sodoma, et filiæ ejus. 47But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.Ma né tu ti tenesti un po' indietro nel battere le loro vie, e nell'imitare le loro scelleratezze: quasi più scellerate cose facesti, che quelle in tutti i tuoi andamenti.But neither in their wayes hast thou walked, nor according to their wicked dedes hast thou done a very litle lesse: thou hast done almost more wicked thinges then they in al thy wayes.Sed nec in viis earum ambulasti, neque secundum scelera earum fecisti pauxillum minus: pene sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis. 48As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.Io giuro, dice il Signore Dio, che non fece Sodoma tua sorella, ella, e le figlie di lei quel che hai fatto tu, e le tue figliuole.Liue I, saith our Lord God, that Sodom thy sister her selfe hath not done, and her daughters, as thou hast done, and thy daughters.Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua, ipsa et filiæ ejus, sicut fecisti tu et filiæ tuæ.

49Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and the poor.Ecco qual fu l'iniquità di Sodoma tua sorella; la superbia, e i bagordi, e il lusso, e l'oziosità di lei, e delle sue figlie: e al povero, ed al bisognoso non istendevan la mano.Loe this was the iniquitie of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulnes of bread, & abundance, and the idlenes of her, and of her daughters: and they raught not the hand to the needie, and the poore.Ecce hæc fuit iniquitas Sodomæ sororis tuæ: superbia, saturitas panis et abundantia, et otium ipsius et filiarum ejus: et manum egeno et pauperi non porrigebant: 50And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.E si levaron in arroganza, e fecero abbominazioni dinanzi a me, ed io le annichilai come tu vedesti.And they were eleuated, and did abominations before me: and I tooke them away as thou hast sene.et elevatæ sunt, et fecerunt abominationes coram me: et abstuli eas sicut vidisti. 51And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.E Samaria non fece la metà de' peccati, che facesti tu: e tu le sorpassasti colle tue scelleraggini, e facesti apparir giuste le tue sorelle con tutte quelle abbominazioni, che tu commettesti.And Samaria sinned not the halfe of thy sinnes: but thou hast passed them with thy wicked deedes, and hast iustified thy sisters in al thine abominations, which thou hast wrought.Et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum non peccavit: sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis, et justificasti sorores tuas in omnibus abominationibus tuis quas operata es. 52Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.Porta adunque la tua confusione anche tu, che hai nel peccar superate le tue sorelle, facendo peggio di loro; perocché a paragone dite elle son giuste. Anche tu adunque confonditi, e porta la tua ignominia, tu che giuste apparir facesti le tue sorelle.Thou also therefore carie thy confusion, which hast passed thy sisters with thy sinnes, doing more wickedly then they: for they are iustified aboue thee: thou also therfore be confounded, & beare thine ignominie, which hast iustified thy sisters.Ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam, quæ vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis, scelerantius agens ab eis: justificatæ sunt enim a te: ergo et tu confundere, et porta ignominiam tuam, quæ justificasti sorores tuas.

53And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.Ma io le ristorerò, tornando in libertà Sodoma, e le sue figlie, e tornando in libertà Samaria, e le sue figlie, e i tuoi figli condotti in ischiavitù farò tornare insieme con esse,And I wil conuert restoring them by the conuersion of Sodom with her daughters, and by the conuersion of Samaria, and her daughters: and I wil conuertEt convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis, et conversione Samariæ et filiarum ejus, et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum, 54That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.Affinchè tu porti la tua ignominia, e ti confonda di tutto quello, che hai fatto, e sii di consolazione per esse,thy reuersion in the middes of them, that thou mayst carie thine ignominie, and mayst be confounded in al thinges, that thou hast done, comforting them.ut portes ignominiam tuam, et confundaris in omnibus quæ fecisti consolans eas. 55And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.E la sorella tua Sodoma, e le sue figlie torneranno al loro antico stato, e Samaria, e le sue figlie torneranno all'antico stato, e tu, e le tue figlie tornerete allo stato antico.And thy sister Sodom, and her daughters shal returne to their antiquitie: and Samaria, and her daughters shal returne to their antiquitie: and thou, and thy daughters shal returne to your antiquitie.Et soror tua Sodoma et filiæ ejus revertentur ad antiquitatem suam, et Samaria et filiæ ejus revertentur ad antiquitatem suam, et tu et filiæ tuæ revertemini ad antiquitatem vestram. 56And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride,Nel tempo del tuo fasto non si udì mai ricordata da te la sorella tua Sodoma,And Sodom thy sister was not heard in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride,Non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo in die superbiæ tuæ, 57Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides.Prima che fosse scoperta la tua malizia, com' ell'è adesso, e tu fossi lo scherno delle figlie di Siria, e di tutte quante le figlie di Palestina, che hai all'intorno, e ti cingono d'ogni lato:before that thy malice was reueled: as at this time for reproch of the daughters of Syria, and of al the daughters of Palesthine in the circuite of thee, which compasse thee round about.antequam revelaretur malitia tua, sicut hoc tempore in opprobrium filiarum Syriæ, et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palæstinarum quæ ambiunt te per gyrum.

58Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God.Tu hai portata la tua scelleratezza, e la tua ignominia, dice il Signore Dio.Thy wickednes, and thine ignominie thou hast caried, saith our Lord God.Scelus tuum et ignominiam tuam tu portasti, ait Dominus Deus. 59For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant:Perocché queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Io farò (così) a te, come tu hai disprezzato il giuramento, per vano rendere il patto:Because thus saith our Lord God: And I wil do to thee, as thou hast despised the oath, to make the couenant frustrate:Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et faciam tibi sicut despexisti juramentum, ut irritum faceres pactum: 60And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.Ma io mi ricorderò del patto, che feci teco ne' giorni di tua adolescenza, e ravviverò con te il patto sempiterno.and I wil remember my couenant with thee in the dayes of thy youth: and I wil raise vnto thee an euerlasting couenant.et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adolescentiæ tuæ, et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum. 61And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.E ti ricorderai de' tuoi disordini, e ne avrai confusione, quando tu riceverai teco le tue sorelle maggiori di te insieme colle minori, ed io darolle a te in luogo di figlie, ma non in virtù del tuo patto.And thou shalt remember thy wayes, and shalt be confounded: when thou shalt receiue thy sisters elder then thee with thy yonger: and I wil geue them to thee for daughters, but not by thy couenant.Et recordaberis viarum tuarum, et confunderis, cum receperis sorores tuas te majores cum minoribus tuis: et dabo eas tibi in filias, sed non ex pacto tuo. 62And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,E io ravviverò con te il mio patto, e conoscerai ch'io sono il Signore,And I wil raise vp my couenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,Et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum, et scies quia ego Dominus: 63That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.Affinchè ti ricordi, ed abbi confusione, e non ardisca di aprir bocca pella vergogna, allora quando io mi sarò placato con te dopo tutte le cose, che tu facesti, dice il Signore Dio.that thou mayst remember, and be confounded, and maist no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shal be pacified toward thee in al that thou hast done, saith our Lord God.ut recorderis, et confundaris, et non sit tibi ultra aperire os præ confusione tua, cum placatus tibi fuero in omnibus quæ fecisti, ait Dominus Deus.
