20 — Ezechiel

1And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.Ed avvenne, che il settimo anno, il quinto mese, ai dieci del mese, venner alcuni dei seniori d'Israele per interrogare il Signore, e si posero a sedere davanti a me.AND it came to passe in the seuenth yeare, in the fifth, the tenth of the moneth: there came men of the ancients of Israel to aske our Lord, & they sare before me.Et factum est in anno septimo, in quinto, in decima mensis, venerunt viri de senioribus Israël ut interrogarent Dominum, et sederunt coram me. 2And 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: 3Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God.Figliuolo dell'uomo parla a' seniori d'Israele, e dirai loro: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Siete voi forse venuti per interrogarmi? Io giuro, che non darò a voi risposta, dice il Signore Dio.Sonne of man, speake to the ancients of Israel, & thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Why, are you come to aske me? Liue I, that I wil not answer you, saith our Lord God.Fili hominis, loquere senioribus Israël, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid ad interrogandum me vos venistis ? vivo ego quia non respondebo vobis, ait Dominus Deus. 4If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, O son of man, declare to them the abominations of their fathers.Fai tu giudizio di costoro, o figliuolo dell'uomo, fai tu giudizio? Fa lor sapere le abbominazioni de' padri loro.Doest thou iudge them, doest thou iudge ô sonne of man? shew to them the abominations of their fathers.Si judicas eos, si judicas, fili hominis, abominationes patrum eorum ostende eis. 5And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God:E dirai loro: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Il dì, in cui io elessi Israele, e stesi la mano mia in favore della casa di Giacobbe, e apparii ad essi nella terra d'Egitto, e stesi in favor loro la mia mano, dicendo: Io il Signore Dio vostro;And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: In the day that I chose Israel, & lifted vp my hand for the stocke of the house of Iacob: and appeared to them in the Land of Aegypt, and lifted vp my hand for them, saying; I the Lord your God:Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die qua elegi Israël, et levavi manum meam pro stirpe domus Jacob, et apparui eis in terra Ægypti, et levavi manum meam pro eis, dicens: Ego Dominus Deus vester:

6In that day I lifted up my hand for them to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelled amongst all lands.In quel dì io stesi la mano mia per trarli dalla terra di Egitto a una terra preparata da me per essi, che scorrea latte, e miele, ed eccellente tra tutte le terre.in that day I lifted vp my hand for them, that I might bring them out of the Land of Aegypt, into a Land which I had prouided for them, flowing with milke and honie, which is excellent among al landes.in die illa levavi manum meam pro eis ut educerem eos de terra Ægypti, in terram quam provideram eis, fluentem lacte et melle, quæ est egregia inter omnes terras. 7And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.E io dissi loro: Getti via ciascheduno quel, che affascina i suoi occhi, e non vi contaminate co' simulacri dell'Egitto. Io Signore Dio vostro.And I said to them, Let euerie man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and in the idols of Aegypt be ye not polluted: I the Lord your God.Et dixi ad eos: Unusquisque offensiones oculorum suorum abjiciat, et in idolis Ægypti nolite pollui: ego Dominus Deus vester. 8But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.Ma ei m'irritarono, e non vollero ascoltar me, e ciascuno di essi non gettò via quel, che contaminava i loro occhi, e non abbandonaron gl'idoli dell'Egitto, e io determinai di spandere sopra di essi il mio sdegno, e di sfogare sopra di essi l'ira mia in mezzo alla terra d'Egitto.And they prouoked me, and would not heare me: euerie one did not cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they leaue the idols of Aegypt: and I said I would powre out mine indignation vpon them, and fil my wrath in them, in the middes of the Land of Aegypt.Et irritaverunt me, nolueruntque me audire: unusquisque abominationes oculorum suorum non projecit, nec idola Ægypti reliquerunt. Et dixi ut effunderem indignationem meam super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis, in medio terræ Ægypti. 9But I did otherwise for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.Ma feci questo di trarli fuora dalla terra d'Egitto, affinchè non restasse vilipeso il nome mio presso le genti, tralle quali ei viveano, e in mezzo alle quali io mi feci ad essi vedere.And I did for my name sake, that it might not be violated before the Gentils, in the middes of whom they were, and among whom I appeared to them, to bring them out of the Land of Aegypt.Et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram gentibus in quarum medio erant, et inter quas apparui eis ut educerem eos de terra Ægypti.

10Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert.Li feci adunque uscire dalla terra d'Egitto, e li condussi al deserto.I cast them out therfore of the Land of Aegypt, and brought them forth into the desert.Ejeci ergo eos de terra Ægypti, et eduxi eos in desertum. 11And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them.E diedi loro i miei comandamenti, e le mie leggi, osservando le quali l'uomo avrà vita per esse.And I gaue them my precepts, and I shewed to them my iudgements, which a man doing, shal liue in them.Et dedi eis præcepta mea, et judicia mea ostendi eis, quæ faciens homo vivet in eis. 12Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.Diedi di più ad essi anche i miei sabati, perchè fossero un segno tra me, e loro, e conoscessero, che io sono il Signore, che li santifica.Moreouer also my sabbathes I gaue to them, to be a signe betwen me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord sanctifying them.Insuper et sabbata mea dedi eis, ut essent signum inter me et eos, et scirent quia ego Dominus sanctificans eos. 13But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them.Ma la casa d'Israele mi provocò ad ira nel deserto, non camminarono ne' miei comandamenti, e rigettarono le mie leggi, nelle quali ha vita chi le osserva, e violarono grandemente i miei sabati. Determinai perciò di spandere il furor mio sopra di loro nel deserto, e di consumarli.And the houses of Israel prouoked me in the desert; they walked not in my precepts, and my iudgements they reiected, which a man doing shal liue in them: and my sabbathes they violated excedingly. I said therfore I would powre out my furie vpon them in the desert, and would consume them.Et irritaverunt me domus Israël in deserto: in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et judicia mea projecerunt, quæ faciens homo vivet in eis, et sabbata mea violaverunt vehementer. Dixi ergo ut effunderem furorem meum super eos in deserto, et consumerem eos: 14But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight.E per amore del nome mio noi feci, affinchè vilipeso non fosse davanti alle nazioni, di mezzo alle quali, elle stesse veggenti, io li trassi.And I did for my name sake, lest it should be violated before the Gentils, from which I cast them out, in their sight.et feci propter nomen meum, ne violaretur coram gentibus de quibus ejeci eos in conspectu earum.

15So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands.Io adunque giurai loro nel deserto, che non gli avrei introdotti nella terra, che io diedi ad essi, terra, che scorre latte, e miele, distinta sopra tutte le terre:I therfore lifted vp my hand vpon them in the desert, not to bring them into the Land, which I gaue them flowing with milke and honie, the chiefe of al landes.Ego igitur levavi manum meam super eos in deserto, ne inducerem eos in terram quam dedi eis, fluentem lacte et melle, præcipuam terrarum omnium: 16Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols.Perchè rigettarono le mie leggi, e non camminarono ne' miei comandamenti, e violarono i miei sabati: conciossiachè dietro agl'idoli andava il cuor loro.Because they reiected my iudgements, and walked not in my precepts, and violated my sabbathes: for their hart went after idols.quia judicia mea projecerunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et sabbata mea violaverunt: post idola enim cor eorum gradiebatur. 17Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.E s'impietosì sopra di essi l'occhio mio, perch'io non gli uccidessi; e non gli sterminai nel deserto.And mine eye was merciful on them, that I killed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.Et pepercit oculus meus super eos, ut non interficerem eos: nec consumpsi eos in deserto. 18And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols:Ma io dissi a' loro figliuoli nella solitudine: Non andate dietro agl'insegnamenti de' padri vostri, e non seguite i loro andamenti, e non vi contaminate coi loro idoli.But I said to their children in the wildernes: In the precepts of your fathers walke not, neither keepe ye their iudgements, nor be polluted in their idols:Dixi autem ad filios eorum in solitudine: In præceptis patrum vestrorum nolite incedere, nec judicia eorum custodiatis, nec in idolis eorum polluamini. 19I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them.Io il Signore Dio vostro: camminate ne' miei comandamenti, osservatele mie leggi, e mettetele in pratica:I the Lord your God: walke ye in my precepts, and keepe my iudgements, and doe them.Ego Dominus Deus vester: in præceptis meis ambulate: judicia mea custodite, et facite ea, 20And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God.E santificate i miei sabati, affin chè siano segno tra me, e voi, e conosciate, ch'io sono il Signore Dio vostro.And sanctifie ye my sabbathes, that they may be a signe betwen me and you: and ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God.et sabbata mea sanctificate, ut sint signum inter me et vos, et sciatis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.

21But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert.Ma i lor figliuoli mi esacerbarono, non camminaron ne' miei precetti, e non osservarono le mie leggi, né fecero quelle cose, le quali facendo l'uomo, ha vita per esse, e violarono i miei sabati; e minacciai di spandere il furor mio sopra di loro, e sfogar l'ira mia contro di essi nel deserto.And the children exasperated me, in my precepts they walked not: and my iudgements they kept not, to doe them: which when a man shal doe, he shal liue in them: and they violated my sabbathes: and I threatned to powre our my furie vpon them, and to fil my wrath in them in the desert.Et exacerbaverunt me filii: in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et judicia mea non custodierunt ut facerent ea, quæ cum fecerit homo, vivet in eis, et sabbata mea violaverunt. Et comminatus sum ut effunderem furorem meum super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis in deserto. 22But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight.Ma rattenni la mano mia, e nol feci per amor del mio nome, affinchè profanato non fosse davanti alle nazioni, di mezzo alle quali, elle stesse veggenti, io li trassi.But I turned away my hand, & did for my names sake, that it might not be violated before the Gentils, out of which I did cast them forth in their eyes.Averti autem manum meam, et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram gentibus de quibus ejeci eos in oculis earum. 23Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries:Di bel nuovo nella solitudine alzai la mia mano contro di loro, giurai di spargerli tralle nazioni, e di trasportargli in questa, e in quella terra,Againe I lifted vp my hand vpon them in the wildernes, that I might disperse them into nations, and scatter them into landes:Iterum levavi manum meam in eos in solitudine, ut dispergerem illos in nationes, et ventilarem in terras, 24Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.Perchè non aveano osservate le mie leggi, e aveano rigettati i miei comandamenti, e violati i miei sabati, ed avean volti gli sguardi agl'idoli de'padri loro.for that they had not done my iudgements, and had reiected my precepts, and had violated my sabbathes, and their eyes had bene after the idols of their fathers.eo quod judicia mea non fecissent, et præcepta mea reprobassent, et sabbata mea violassent, et post idola patrum suorum fuissent oculi eorum.

25Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live.Io adunque lor diedi comandamenti non buoni, e leggi, nelle quali non avran vita.Therfore I also gaue them precepts not good, and iudgements, in which they shal not liue.Ergo et ego dedi eis præcepta non bona, et judicia in quibus non vivent. 26And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord.E gli rendetti immondi nelle loro obblazioni, mentre pe' loro delitti offerivano i primogeniti, e conosceran, ch'io sono il Signore.And I polluted them in their giftes, when they offered al that opened the matrice, for their offences: and they shal know that I am the Lord.Et pollui eos in muneribus suis, cum offerrent omne quod aperit vulvam, propter delicta sua: et scient quia ego Dominus. 27Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me;Per la qual cosa parla tu, o figliuolo dell'uomo, alla casa d'Israele, e dirai loro: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: In un altro punto ancora mi bestemmiarono i padri vostri, disonorandomi con ispregio;Wherfore speake to the house of Israel, ô sonne of man: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Yet also in this did your fathers blaspheme me, when contemning they had despised me:Quam ob rem loquere ad domum Israël, fili hominis, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc et in hoc blasphemaverunt me patres vestri, cum sprevissent me contemnentes, 28And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations.Perocché avendogli introdotti nella terra, che io con giuramento avea promesso di dare ad essi, adocchiarono ogni colle elevato, e ogni ombrosa pianta, e andarono ad immolarvi le loro vittime, e ivi offerirono lo smacco della loro obblazione, e vi bruciarono soavi odori, e fecero lor libagioni.and I had brought them into the Land, vpon which I lifted vp my hand to geue it them: they saw euerie high hil, and euerie wooddie tree, and there they immolated their victims: and there they gaue the irritation of their oblation, and there they put the odour of their sweetnes, and offered their libations.et induxissem eos in terram super quam levavi manum meam ut darem eis: viderunt omnem collem excelsum, et omne lignum nemorosum, et immolaverunt ibi victimas suas, et dederunt ibi irritationem oblationis suæ, et posuerunt ibi odorem suavitatis suæ, et libaverunt libationes suas.

29And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day.Ed io dissi loro: Che è egli mai quel luogo eccelso, dove voi andate? E il nome di Eccelso è rimaso fino a questo di.And I said to them: What is the excelse, vnto which you goe? & the name therof was called Excelse euen to this day.Et dixi ad eos: Quid est excelsum, ad quod vos ingredimini ? et vocatum est nomen ejus Excelsum usque ad hanc diem. 30Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations.Per questo dì tu alla casa d'Israele: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Voi certamente vi contaminate, battendo la strada de' padri vostri, e nella fornicazione, in cui essi caddero, voi cadete,Therfore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith our Lord God: Surely in the way of your fathers you are pulluted, and after their scandals you doe fornicate.Propterea dic ad domum Israël: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Certe in via patrum vestrorum vos polluimini, et post offendicula eorum vos fornicamini: 31And you defile yourselves with all your idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you.E coll'offerta de' vostri doni, facendo passar pel fuoco i vostri figliuoli vi contaminate fino a quest'oggi in grazia di tutti i vostri idoli: e io darò a voi risposta, o casa d'Israele? Io giuro, dice il Signore Dio, che non vi darò risposta.And in the oblation of your giftes, when you make your children passe through the fire, you are polluted in al your idols vnto this day: and shal I answer you ô house of Israel? Liue I, saith our Lord God, that I wil not answer youet in oblatione donorum vestrorum, cum traducitis filios vestros per ignem, vos polluimini in omnibus idolis vestris usque hodie: et ego respondebo vobis, domus Israël ? Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non respondebo vobis. 32Neither shall the thought of your mind come to pass, by which you say: We will be as the Gentiles, and as the families of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.E non avrà effetto il pensiero di vostra mente, che dice: Noi saremo come le genti, e come i popoli della terra, adorando i legni, e le pietre.Neither shal the cogitation of your minde come to passe, saying: We wil be as the Gentils, and as the kinreds of the earth, that we may worship wood, and stones.Neque cogitatio mentis vestræ fiet, dicentium: Erimus sicut gentes et sicut cognationes terræ, ut colamus ligna et lapides.

33As I live, saith the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.Io giuro, dice il Signore Dio, che io sopra di voi regnerò con mano pesante, con braccio disteso, e con ispandere tutto il mio furore.Liue I, saith our Lord God, that in a strong hand, & in a streched out arme, and in furie powred forth wil I reigne ouer you.Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quoniam in manu forti, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso, regnabo super vos. 34And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries, in which you are scattered, I will reign over you with a strong hand and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.E vi trarrò di mezzo ai popoli, e vi raunerò dai paesi, pe' quali siete dispersi, regnerò sopra di voi con mano pesante, con braccio disteso, e con ispandere tutto il mio furore.And I wil bring you out of the peoples, and I wil gather you out of the landes, in which you are dispersed, in a strong hand, and in a streched out arme and in furie powred forth wil I reigne ouer you.Et educam vos de populis, et congregabo vos de terris in quibus dispersi estis: in manu valida, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso, regnabo super vos. 35And I will bring you into the wilderness of people, and there will I plead with you face to face.E vi condurrò nello spopolato deserto, ed ivi farò giudizio con voi faccia a faccia.And I wil bring you into the desert of peoples, and wil be iudged there with you face to face.Et adducam vos in desertum populorum, et judicabor vobiscum ibi facie ad faciem. 36As I pleaded against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt; even so will I judge you, saith the Lord God.Come disputai in giudizio contro de' padri vostri nel deserto della terra d'Egitto, così io farò giudizio con voi, dice il Signore Dio.As I contended in iudgement against your fathers in the desert of the Land of Aegypt: so wil I iudge you, saith our Lord God.Sicut judicio contendi adversum patres vestros in deserto terræ Ægypti, sic judicabo vos, dicit Dominus Deus. 37And I will make you subject to my sceptre, and will bring you into the bands of the covenant.E vi sottometterò al mio scettro, e farovvi entrare ne' vincoli di mia alleanza.And I wil subdue you to my scepter, & wil bring you into the bandes of couenant.Et subjiciam vos sceptro meo, et inducam vos in vinculis fœderis. 38And I will pick out from among you the transgressors, and the wicked, and will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord.E dividerò da voi i trasgressori, e gli empj, e farogli uscir dalla terra dove abitano, e nella terra d'Israele non entreranno: e conoscerete, ch'io sono il Signore.And I wil choose out of you the transgressours, and impious, and wil bring them out of the land of their seiourning, and into the land of Israel they shal not enter: and you shal know that I am the Lord.Et eligam de vobis transgressores et impios, et de terra incolatus eorum educam eos, et in terram Israël non ingredientur: et scietis quia ego Dominus.

39And as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols;E a te, casa di Israele, dice il Signore Dio: Andate ognun di voi dietro agl'idoli vostri, e rendete lor servitù. Che se neppur in questo mi ascolterete, e profanerete tuttora il santo nome mio offerendo a me doni, e servendo a' vostri idoli,And you ô house of Israel, Thus saith our Lord God: Walke you euerie one after your idols, and serue them. But and if in this also you heare me not, and shal pollute my holie name any more in your giftes, and in your idols:Et vos, domus Israël, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Singuli post idola vestra ambulate, et servite eis. Quod si et in hoc non audieritis me, et nomen meum sanctum pollueritis ultra in muneribus vestris et in idolis vestris: 40In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications.Sul santo monte mio, sul monte eccelso d'Israele (dice il Signore Dio) ivi servirà a me tutta la casa d'Israele; tutti, io dico, nella terra, in cui saranno a me accetti, e ivi io gradirò le vostre primizie, e l'offerta di vostre decime con tutto il vostro culto santo.in my holie mount, in the high mount of Israel, saith our Lord God, there shal al the house of Israel serue me; al I say in the land, wherin they shal please me, and there wil I require your first fruites, and the beginning of your tithes in al your sanctifications.in monte sancto meo, in monte excelso Israël, ait Dominus Deus, ibi serviet mihi omnis domus Israël: omnes, inquam, in terra in qua placebunt mihi: et ibi quæram primitias vestras, et initium decimarum vestrarum, in omnibus sanctificationibus vestris. 41I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.Come odorosissimo timiama io vi riceverò allora quando vi avrò tratti fuora dalle nazioni, e vi avrò raunati da tutte le terre, pelle quali foste di spersi, e in voi si farà manifesta la mia santità agli occhi delle nazioni.I wil receiue you for an odour of sweetnes, when I shal haue brought you out of the peoples, and shal haue gathered you out of the landes, into which you are dispersed, and I wil be sanctified in you in the eyes of the nations.In odorem suavitatis suscipiam vos, cum eduxero vos de populis, et congregavero vos de terris in quas dispersi estis: et sanctificabor in vobis in oculis nationum. 42And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.E conoscerete, ch'io sono il Signore, allorché vi avrò introdotto nella terra d'Israele, nella terra, che io giurai di dare a' vostri progenitori.And you shal know that I am the Lord, when I shal haue brought you into the land of Israel, into the Land, for which I lifted vp my hand to geue it to your fathers.Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum induxero vos ad terram Israël, in terram pro qua levavi manum meam ut darem eam patribus vestris.

43And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed.E ivi richiamerete a memoria i vostri andamenti, e tutte le vostre scelleratezze, colle quali vi siete contaminati, e dispiacerete a voi stessi negli occhi vostri a motivo di tutte le malvagità, che avete commesse.And there you shal remember your wayes, and al your wicked deedes, in which you were polluted: and you shal mislike yourselues in your owne sight, in al your malices, which you haue done.Et recordabimini ibi viarum vestrarum, et omnium scelerum vestrorum, quibus polluti estis in eis: et displicebitis vobis in conspectu vestro, in omnibus malitiis vestris quas fecistis. 44And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name’s sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God.E conoscerete, ch'io sono il Signore, allora quando per amore del nome mio sarò benefico con voi, e non secondo i vostri cattivi andamenti, né secondo le pessime vostre scelleratezze, o casa d'Israele, dice il Signore Dio.And you shal know that I am the Lord, when I shal haue done you good for my name sake, and not according to your euil wayes, nor according to your most wicked deedes ô house of Israel, saith our Lord God.Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum benefecero vobis propter nomen meum, et non secundum vias vestras malas, neque secundum scelera vestra pessima, domus Israël, ait Dominus Deus. 45And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:E parlommi il Signore, dicendo:And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 46Son of man, set thy face against the way of the south, and drop towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.Figliuolo dell'uomo, volgi la tua faccia a mezzodì, e parla dalla parte del vento Africo, e profetizza alla selva della campagna di mezzodì.Sonne of man, set thy face against the way of the south, and droppe toward the sotherne winde, and prophecie to the forrest of the sotherne filde.Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra viam austri, / et stilla ad africum, / et propheta ad saltum agri meridiani. 47And say to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north.E dirai alla selva di mezzodì: Ascolta la parola del Signore: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Ecco che io accenderò in te il fuoco, e abbrucerò ogni tua pianta verde, e ogni tua pianta secca; la fiamma dell'incendio non si spegnerà, e in essa arderà tutto quello, Che v'è di bello da mezzodì fino a settentrione.And thou shalt say to the sotherne forrest: Heare the word of our Lord: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I wil kindle a fire in thee, and wil burne in thee euerie greene tree, and euerie drie tree: the flame of the fire shal not be quenched: and euerie face shal be burned in it, from the South euen to the North.Et dices saltui meridiano: / Audi verbum Domini: / Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce ego succendam in te ignem, / et comburam in te omne lignum viride, / et omne lignum aridum: / non extinguetur flamma succensionis: / et comburetur in ea omnis facies / ab austro usque ad aquilonem,

48And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched.E gli uomini tutti vedranno, che io il Signore le ho dato fuoco, né questo si spegnerà.And al flesh shal see, that I the Lord kindled it, neither shal it be quenched.et videbit universa caro quia ego Dominus succendi eam, / nec extinguetur. 49And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables?Ed io dissi: Ah, ha, ah, Signore Dio: costoro dicon di me: Non parla egli costui per via di parabole?And I said: A a a, ô Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speake by parables?Et dixi: A, a, a, Domine Deus: ipsi dicunt de me: Numquid non per parabolas loquitur iste ?
