3 — Ezechiel

1And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel.(Il Signore) disse a me: Figliuol dell'uomo, mangia tutto quello, che troverai, mangia questo volume, e va, e parla a' figliuoli a' Israele.AND he said to me: Sonne of man whatsoeuer thou shalt finde eate: eate this volume, and going speake to the children of Israel.Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, quodcumque inveneris, comede: comede volumen istud, et vadens loquere ad filios Israël. 2And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book:E apersi la mia bocca, ed ei mi fe' mangiar quel volume:And I opened my mouth, and he fed me with that volume:Et aperui os meum, et cibavit me volumine illo: 3And 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.Ed ei disse a me: Figliuolo dell'uomo, il tuo ventre si ciberà, e le tue viscere si empieranno di questo volume, che io ti do. E lo mangiai, e fu dolce alla mia bocca come il miele.and he said to me: Sonne of man thy bellie shal eate, and thy bowels shal be filled with this volume, which I geue thee. And I did eate it: and it was made in my mouth sweete as honie.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. 4And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them.Ed ei disse a me: Figliuolo dell'uomo, va alla casa d'Israele, e annunzierai loro le mie parole;And he said to me: Sonne of man goe to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speake my wordes to them.Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, vade ad domum Israël, et loqueris verba mea ad eos. 5For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel:Imperocché non ad un popolo di astruso linguaggio, e d'ignota favella se' tu mandato, ma alla casa d'Israele;For not to a people of profound speach, and of an vnknowne tongue art thou sent, to the house of Israel.Non enim ad populum profundi sermonis et ignotæ linguæ tu mitteris ad domum Israël: 6Nor 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.Né a popoli vari di astruso linguaggio, e d'ignota favella, de' quali tu non possa capire il discorso; e se a questi tu fossi mandato, ei ti ascolterebbero.Neither to manie peoples of profonnd speach, & of an vnknowne tongue, whose wordes thou canst not heare: and if thou were sent to them, they would heare thee.neque ad populos multos profundi sermonis et ignotæ linguæ, quorum non possis audire sermones: et si ad illos mittereris, ipsi audirent te:

7But 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.Ma la casa d'Israele non vuole udir te, perchè me stesso non vuole udire: perocché la casa tutta d'Israele è di fronte impudente, e di cuore indurito.But the house of Israel wil not heare thee: because they wil not heare me. for al the house of Israel is of a shameles forehead, and hard harted.domus autem Israël nolunt audire te, quia nolunt audire me: omnis quippe domus Israël attrita fronte est, et duro corde. 8Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads.Ecco io do a te faccia più tosta delle facce loro, e fronte più dura delle lor fronti.Behold I haue made thy face stronger then their faces, and thy forehead harder then their foreheads.Ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebus eorum, et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum: 9I 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.Ti darò faccia come di diamante, e di selce, non aver paura, e non ti conturbare dinanzi a loro, perchè ella è una contumace famiglia.As the adamant, and as the flint stone haue I made thy face: feare them not, neither be afrayd of their face: because it is an exasperating house.ut adamantem et ut silicem dedi faciem tuam: ne timeas eos, neque metuas a facie eorum, quia domus exasperans est. 10And he said to me: Son of man, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee:E disse a me: Figliuolo dell'uomo, tutte le parole ch'io dico a te, ricevile nel cuor tuo, e ascoltale colle tue orecchie.And he said to me: Sonne of man, al my wordes which I speake to thee, take in thy hart, and heare with thine eares:Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, omnes sermones meos quos ego loquor ad te, assume in corde tuo, et auribus tuis audi: 11And 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.E va, presentati a' fuorusciti, ai figliuoli del popol tuo, e parlerai loro, e (se per sorte ascoltino, e si posino) dirai loro: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio.And goe, enter into the transmigration, to the children of of thy people, and thou shalt speake to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: if perhaps they wil heare, and be quiet.et vade, ingredere ad transmigrationem, ad filios populi tui, et loqueris ad eos: et dices eis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: si forte audiant et quiescant.

12And 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.E presemi lo spirito, e udii dietro a me voce di grande strepito: Benedetta la gloria del Signore nel luogo santo di lui.And the spirit tooke me vp, and I heard behinde me the voice of a great commotion: Blessed be the glorie of our Lord from his place,Et assumpsit me spiritus, et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnæ: Benedicta gloria Domini de loco suo: 13And 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.E (udii) il romore delle ali degli animali, delle quali l'una batteva l'altra, e il romorio delle ruote, che seguivano gli animali, e voce di grande strepito.and the voice of the winges of liuing creatures striking one against an other, & the voice of wheeles folowing the liuing creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.et vocem alarum animalium percutientium alteram ad alteram, et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia, et vocem commotionis magnæ. 14The 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.E lo spirito mi sollevò, e mi prese, e me n'andava amareggiato dall'ira del mio spirito; ma era meco la mano del Signore, che mi fortificava.The spirit also lifted me, & tooke me vp: & I went away bitter in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of our 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. 15And 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.E giunsi ai fuorusciti presso aduna massa di nuove biade, dov'eran que', che abitavano presso il fiume Chobar, e mi posi a sedere dove quelli sedevano; ed ivi mi stetti sette giorni afflitto in mezzo a loro.And I came to the transmigration, to the heape of new corne, to them, that dwelt by the riuer Chobar, and I sate where they sate: and I taried there seuen dayes mourning in the middes of them.Et veni ad transmigrationem, ad acervum novarum frugum, ad eos qui habitabant juxta flumen Chobar: et sedi ubi illi sedebant, et mansi ibi septem diebus mœrens in medio eorum.

16And at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying:E passati sette giorni, parlò a me il Signore, dicendo:And when seuen dayes, were passed, the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Cum autem pertransissent septem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: 17Son 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.Figliuolo dell'uomo, io ti ho dato per sentinella alla casa d'Israele, e dalla mia bocca udirai le mie parole, e le annunzierai loro da parte mia.Sonne of man, a watchman to the house of Israel haue I geuen thee: and thou shalt heare the word out of my mouth, and shalt tel it them from me.Fili hominis, speculatorem dedi te domui Israël, et audies de ore meo verbum, et annuntiabis eis ex me. 18If, 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.Se quando io dico all'empio: Certo che tu morrai, tu non glielo annunzi, e non gli parli, affinchè si ritragga dalla via di sua empietà, e viva; l'empio stesso morrà nel suo peccato, ma del sangue di lui domanderò conto a te.If when I say to the impious: Dying thou shalt dye: thou tel him not, nor speake that he may be turned away from his impious way, and liue: the same impious man shal dye in his iniquitie, but his bloud I wil requyre 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 ejus de manu tua requiram. 19But 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.Ma se tu avrai avvisato l'empio, e quegli non si sarà convertito dalla sua empietà, e dall'empia sua via, egli morrà nella sua iniquità, ma tu hai liberata l'anima tua.But if thou denounce to the impious, and he be not conuerted from his impietie, and from his impious way: he verely shal dye in his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.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. 20Moreover 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.Similmente se il giusto abbandonerà la sua giustizia, e farà opere inique, io porrò inciampo dinanzi a lui; ei morrà, perchè tu non lo hai ammonito: morrà nel suo peccato, e non farassi ricordanza delle opere giuste, che egli fece; ma del sangue di lui chiederò conto a te.Yea and if the iust shal be turned from his iustice, & shal doe iniquitie: I wil lay a stumbling blocke before him, he shal dye: because thou hast not told him, he shal dye in his sinne, and his iustices which he hath done shal not be in memorie: but his bloud I wil require at thy hand.Sed et si conversus justus a justitia sua fuerit, et fecerit iniquitatem, ponam offendiculum coram eo: ipse morietur quia non annuntiasti ei. In peccato suo morietur, et non erunt in memoria justitiæ ejus quas fecit: sanguinem vero ejus de manu tua requiram.

21But 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.Che se tu avrai ammonito il giusto, affinchè il giusto non pecchi, ed egli non peccherà: egli avrà vera vita, perchè tu lo hai ammonito, e tu hai liberata l'anima tua.But if thou warne the iust that the iust sinne not, and he doe not sinne: liuing he shal liue, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast deliuered thy soule.Si autem tu annuntiaveris justo ut non peccet justus, et ille non peccaverit, vivens vivet, quia annuntiasti ei, et tu animam tuam liberasti. 22And 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.E si fe' sentire sopra di me la mano del Signore, e dissemi: Sorgi, e va alla campagna, ed ivi io parlerò con te.And the hand of our Lord was made vpon me, and he said to me: Rising goe out into the fielde, and there I wil speake with thee.Et facta est super me manus Domini, et dixit ad me: Surgens egredere in campum, et ibi loquar tecum. 23And 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.E alzatomi andai alla campagna, ed ecco, che ivi si stava la gloria del Signore, come quella gloria, ch'io vidi presso il fiume Chobar: ed io caddi boccone.And rising I went out into the filde: and behold the glorie of our Lord stood there as it were the glorie, which I saw by the riuer Chobar: and I fel on my face:Et surgens egressus sum in campum: et ecce ibi gloria Domini stabat, quasi gloria quam vidi juxta fluvium Chobar: et cecidi in faciem meam. 24And 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.Ed entrò in me lo spirito, e rizzommi su' miei piedi, e parlommi, e dissemi: Va, e rinchiuditi nella tua casa.And the spirit entered into me, and set me vpon my feete: and he spake to me, and sayd to me: Goe in, and be shut vp in the middes 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 tuæ. 25And 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.Ed ecco, che a te, o figliuolo dell'uomo, son messe le catene, e con esse ti legheranno, e tu non potrai uscire di mezzo a loro.And thou sonne of man, behold bandes are geuen vpon thee, and they shal binde thee in them: and thou shalt not goe forth from the middes of them.Et tu, fili hominis, ecce data sunt super te vincula, et ligabunt te in eis, et non egredieris de medio eorum.

26And 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.E farò, che la tua lingua ti si attacchi al palato, e sarai mutolo, e non più come un riprensore; perocché ella è una contumace famiglia.And I wil make thy tongue cleaue to the roofe of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumme, not as a man controwling: because it is an exasperating house.Et linguam tuam adhærere faciam palato tuo, et eris mutus, nec quasi vir objurgans, quia domus exasperans est. 27But 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.Ma quando io ti avrò parlato, aprirò la tua bocca, e tu dirai loro: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Chi ascolta, ascolti, e chi dorme, dorma; perocché ella è una contumace famiglia.But when I shal speake to thee, I wil open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: He that heareth let him heare: and he that is quiet, let him be quiet: because it is an exasperating house.Cum autem locutus fuero tibi, aperiam os tuum, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Qui audit, audiat, et qui quiescit, quiescat: quia domus exasperans est.
