36 — Ezechiel

1And thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord:Or tu figliuolo dell'uomo, profetizza intorno ai monti d'Israele, e dirai: Monti d'Israele, udite la parola del Signore.AND thou sonne of man, prophecie concerning the mountainnes of Israel, and thou shalt say: Mountainnes of Israel heare ye the word of our Lord:Tu autem, fili hominis, propheta super montes Israël, et dices: Montes Israël, audite verbum Domini. 2Thus saith the Lord God: Because the enemy hath said of you: Aha, the everlasting heights are given to us for an inheritance.Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Perchè il nimico ha detto di voi: Bene sta: gli alti monti sempiterni sono stati dati a noi in retaggio;Thus saith our Lord God: For that the enemie hath sayd of you: Aha, the euerlasting heightes are geuen to vs for an inheritante:Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis: Euge, / altitudines sempiternæ in hæreditatem datæ sunt nobis: 3Therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Because you have been desolate, and trodden under foot on every side, and made an inheritance to the rest of the nations, and are become the subject of the talk, and the reproach of the people:Per questo profetizza, e dì: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Perchè voi siete stati desolati, e conculcati per ogni parte, e siete divenuti eredità di altre nazioni, e siete nelle bocche di tutti, e siete lo scherno del volgo;therfore prophecie, & say: Thus saith our Lord God: For that you haue bene desolate, and troden downe round about, and made an inheritance to the rest of the Gentils, and haue ascended vpon the lippe of the tongue, & the reproche of the people:propterea vaticinare, et dic: / Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, / et facti in hæreditatem reliquis gentibus, / et ascendistis super labium linguæ et opprobrium populi, 4Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken, that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the nations round about.Per questo, monti d'Israele, udite la parola del Signore Dio: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio ai monti, ai colli, ai torrenti, e alle valli, e a' deserti, alle mura diroccate, e alle città derelitte, e rimase senza popolo, e schernite da tutte le nazioni all'intorno.therfore ye mountaines of Israel heare the word of our Lord God: Thus sayth our Lord God to the mountaines, and hilles, to the torrents, and valleis, & the deserts, and broken walleis, & to the cities forsaken which are spoiled, & scotned of the rest of the Nations round about.propterea, montes Israël, audite verbum Domini Dei. / Hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus, / torrentibus, vallibusque et desertis, / parietinis et urbibus derelictis, / quæ depopulatæ sunt et subsannatæ a reliquis gentibus per circuitum.

5Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste.Ecco quello, che dice il Signore Dio: Nel calor del mio zelo io ho parlato delle altre genti, e della Idumea tutta, le quali si sono appropriata per suo dominio la mia terra con gaudio, e con tutto il cuore, e con tutto l'animo, e ne han cacciati gli eredi per saccheggiarla;Therfore thus saith our Lord God: Because in fyre of my zele I haue spoken of the rest of the nations, and of al Iduma, which haue geuen my land to themselues for an inheritance with ioy, and with al their hart, and with the minde: and haue cast it forth to waste it:Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis gentibus, / et de Idumæa universa, / quæ dederunt terram meam sibi in hæreditatem cum gaudio, / et toto corde et ex animo, / et ejecerunt eam ut vastarent: 6Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and in my indignation, because you have borne the shame of the Gentiles.Per questo profetizza tu sopra la terra d'Israele, e dirai ai monti, e ai colli, ai gioghi, ed alle valli: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Ecco elle io nel mio zelo, e nel mio furore ho parlato, perchè voi sofferti avete gl'insulti delle nazioni.therfore prophecie concerning the ground of Israel, and thou shalt say to the montaines, & hilles, to the hiltoppes, and valleis: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I haue spoken in my zele, & in my furie because you haue susteyned the confusion of the Gentiles.idcirco vaticinare super humum Israël, / et dices montibus et collibus, jugis et vallibus: / Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce ego in zelo meo et in furore meo locutus sum, / eo quod confusionem gentium sustinueritis. 7Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are round about you, shall themselves bear their shame.Per questo così dice il Signore Dio: Io ho alzata la mano mia, e le nazioni, che vi stanno d'intorno, porteranno la lor confusione.Therfore thus sayth our Lord God: I haue lifted my hand, that the Gentiles which are round about you, they may beare their confusion.Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ego levavi manum meam, / ut gentes quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, / ipsæ confusionem suam portent. 8But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at hand to come.Ma voi, o monti d'Israele, date fuori i vostri germogli, e producete i vostri frutti pel popolo mio d'Israele; perocché egli è vicino a tornare:But you ô mountaines of Israel may shoote forth your boughes, and bring forth your fruite to my people of Israel: for he is at hand to come.Vos autem, montes Israël, ramos vestros germinetis, / et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israël: / prope enim est ut veniat.

9For lo I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown.Imperocché eccomi a voi, e a voi mi rivolgo, e voi sarete arati, e sarete seminati.Because loe I to you, and I wil turne to you, and you shal be ploughed, and shal take seede.Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos: / et arabimini, et accipietis sementem. 10And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be repaired.E moltiplicherò a voi gli uomini, e tutta la casa d'Israele, e le città saranno abitate, e si ristoreran le rovine.And I wil multiplie in you men, & al the house of Israel: and the cities shal be inhabited, and the ruinous places shal be repayred.Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israël: / et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur. 11And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord.E vi riempierò d'uomini, e di giumenti, i quali moltiplicheranno, e cresceranno, e farò, che siate abitati come al principio; e beni più grandi a voi donerò di quei, che aveste da prima: e conoscerete, che io sono il Signore.And I wil replenish you with men, and with beasts: and they shal be multiplied, and increase: and I wil make you dwel as from the beginning, and wil endewe you with greater giftes, then you haue had from the beginning: and you shal know that I am the Lord.Et replebo vos hominibus et jumentis, / et multiplicabuntur, et crescent: / et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, / bonisque donabo majoribus quam habuistis ab initio: / et scietis quia ego Dominus. 12And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them.E a voi condurrò uomini, il popol mio d'Israele, ed egli vi possederà in retaggio, e voi sarete sua eredità, e non sarete mai più senza di essi.And I wil bring men vpon you, my people Israel, and they shal possesse thee by inheritance: and thou shalt be for an inheritance to them, and thou shalt adde no more to be without them.Et adducam super vos homines, populum meum Israël, / et hæreditate possidebunt te: / et eris eis in hæreditatem, / et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis. 13Thus saith the Lord God: Because they say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Perchè dicono di voi, che voi siete una terra, che divora gli uomini, e strozza la sua gente:Thus saith our Lord God: For that they say of you: A deuourer of men thou art, and one that doest suffocate thy nation.Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis: / Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam:

14Therefore thou shalt devour men no more nor destroy thy nation any more, saith the Lord God.Per questo tu non mangerai più gli uomini, e non ucciderai più la tua gente, dice il Signore Dio:Therfore thou shalt eare men no more, and thy nation thou shalt kil no more, saith our Lord God:propterea homines non comedes amplius, / et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, / ait Dominus Deus. 15Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God.E farò, che tu più non ascolti gl'insulti delle nazioni, e non avrai da tollerare gli scherni dei popoli, e non perderai più la tua gente, dice il Signore Dio.neither wil I make the confusion of the Gentils, to be heard in thee anie more, and the reproch of the people thou shalt not beare, and thy nation thou shalt lose no more, saith our Lord God.Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem gentium, / et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis: / et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, / ait Dominus Deus. 16And 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 factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: 17Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.Figliuolo dell'uomo, la casa d'Israele abitò nella sua terra, e la contaminò colle opere sue, e co' suoi costumi: la loro vita era dinanzi a me simile all'immondezza di donna impura.Sonne of man, the house of Israel dwelt in their ground, and polluted it in their wayes, and in their studies according to the vncle anes of a menstruous woman was their way made before me.Fili hominis, domus Israël habitaverunt in humo sua, / et polluerunt eam in viis suis et in studiis suis: / juxta immunditiam menstruatæ facta est via eorum coram me. 18And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.Ed io scaricai la mia indegnazione sopra di essi a motivo del sangue, che aveano sparso sopra la terra, e de' loro idoli, co' quali la aveano contaminata.And I haue powred out mine indignation vpon them for the bloud, which they haue shed vpon the land, and in their idols haue polluted it.Et effudi indignationem meam super eos / pro sanguine quem fuderunt super terram, / et in idolis suis polluerunt eam. 19And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices.Ed io li dispersi tralle genti, e li traportai qua, e là a tutti i venti: li giudicai secondo le vie loro, e secondo i loro ritrovamenti.And I haue dispersed them into the Gentils, and they are scattered into the landes: according to their wayes, and their inuentions haue I iudged them.Et dispersi eos in gentes, / et ventilati sunt in terras: / juxta vias eorum et adinventiones eorum judicavi eos.

20And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land.E andarono tralle nazioni, in mezzo alle quali ebber luogo, e disonorarono il nome mio santo, mentre di lor si diceva: Questo è il popolo del Signore, e dalla terra di lui sono andati fuora.And they went in to the Nations, vnto which they entered, and haue polluted my holie name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and out of his land they are come forth.Et ingressi sunt ad gentes ad quas introierunt: / et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, / cum diceretur de eis: Populus Domini iste est, / et de terra ejus egressi sunt. 21And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in.Ed io ebbi riguardo al nome mio santo, cui la casa a Israele disonorava presso le genti, tralle quali era andata.And I haue spared my holie name, which the house of Israel polluted among the Gentiles, to which they entered in.Et peperci nomini sancto meo, / quod polluerat domus Israël in gentibus ad quas ingressi sunt. 22Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went.Per questo tu dirai alla casa d'Israele: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Non per amor di voi io farò, o casa d'Israele, ma per amore del nome mio santo, cui disonoraste voi presso le genti, tralle quali eravate andati.Therfore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith our Lord God, not for your sake wil I doe it, ô house of Israel, but for my holie name which you haue polluted in the Nations to which you entered.Idcirco dices domui Israël: / Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israël, / sed propter nomen sanctum meum, / quod polluistis in gentibus ad quas intrastis. 23And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.E glorificherò il nome mio grande, che è in disdoro presso le genti, ed è profanato da voi sugli occhi loro: affinchè conoscan le genti, ch'io sono il Signore, quando sopra di voi avrò fatto conoscere la mia santità in faccia ad esse, dice il Signore degli eserciti;And I wil sanctifie my great name, that is polluted among the Gentiles, which you haue polluted in the middes of them: that the Gentils may know that I am the Lord, saith our Lord of hostes, when I shal be sanctified in you before them.Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum / quod pollutum est inter gentes, / quod polluistis in medio earum: / ut sciant gentes quia ego Dominus, / ait Dominus exercituum, / cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis.

24For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.Imperocché io vi trarrò di mezzo alle genti, e vi raunerò da tutte le terre, e vi condurrò alla vostra terra.For I wil take you out of the Gentils, and wil gather you together out of al the landes, and wil bring you into your land.Tollam quippe vos de gentibus, / et congregabo vos de universis terris, / et adducam vos in terram vestram. 25And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.E verserò sopra di voi acqua monda, e sarete mondati da tutte le vostre sozzure, e vi purgherò da tutti gl'idoli vostri.And I wil powre out vpon you cleane water, and you shal be clensed from al your contaminations, & from al your idols wil I clense you.Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, / et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, / et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos. 26And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.E darovvi un nuovo cuore, e porrò in mezzo a voi un nuovo spirito, e torrò dalla vostra carne il cuore di pietra, e darovvi un cuore di carne.And I wil geue you a new hart, and wil put a new spirit in the middes of you: and wil take away the stonie hart out of your flesh, and wil geue you a fleshie hart.Et dabo vobis cor novum, / et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri: / et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, / et dabo vobis cor carneum. 27And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.E il mio spirito porrò in mezzo a voi, e farò, che camminiate ne' miei precetti, ed osserviate le mie leggi, e le pratichiate.And I wil put my spirite in the middes of you: and I wil make that you walke in my precepts, & keepe my iudgements, and doe them.Et spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri: / et faciam ut in præceptis meis ambuletis, / et judicia mea custodiatis et operemini. 28And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.Ed abiterete nella terra, ch'io diedi ai padri vostri, e sarete mio popolo, ed io sarò vostro Dio.And you shal dwel in the land: which I gaue to your fathers, and you shal be my people, and I wil be your God.Et habitabitis in terra quam dedi patribus vestris: / et eritis mihi in populum, / et ego ero vobis in Deum.

29And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.E vi libererò da tutte le vostre sozzure, e farò venire il frumento, e lo moltiplicherò, né farovvi patir la fame.And I wil saue you from al your contaminations: and I wil cal for corne, and wil multiplie it, and wil not put famine vpon you.Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris: / et vocabo frumentum et multiplicabo illud, / et non imponam vobis famem. 30And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations.E moltiplicherò i frutti delle piante, e i germogli de' campi, affinchè le genti non vi rinfaccino più la fame.And I wil multiplie the fruite of the tree, and the ofsprings of the filde, that you beare no more the reproch of famine among the Gentils.Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, / ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in gentibus. 31And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.E voi vi ricorderete de' pessimi costumi vostri, e delle non rette inclinazioni: e dispiaceranno a voi le vostre iniquità, e le vostre scelleratezze.And you shal remember your most wicked wayes, and your studies not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deedes shal displease you.Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, / studiorumque non bonorum: / et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ et scelera vestra. 32It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel.Non per amor di voi io lo farò dice il Signore Dio, sia ciò noto a voi: confondetevi, e vergognatevi de' costumi vostri, o casa d'Israele.Not for you wil I doe it, saith our Lord God, be it knowne to you: be ye confounded, and ashamed vpon your wayes, ô house of Israel.Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis: / confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israël. 33Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places,Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Nel giorno, in cui io vi monderò da tutte le vostre iniquità, e popolerò le città, e ristorerò le rovine,Thus saith our Lord God: In the day that I shal clense you from al your iniquities, and shal make the cities to be inhabited, and shal repayre the ruinous places,Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / In die qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, / et inhabitari fecero urbes, / et instauravero ruinosa, 34And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by,E sarà coltivata la terra deserta, dove il viaggiatore non altro vedea, che desolazione,and the desert land shal be tilled, which once was desolate in the eyes of euerie wayfaringman,et terra deserta fuerit exculta, / quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris, 35They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced.Diranno allora: Quella terra inculta è divenuta come un giardin di delizie: e le città deserte, e vuote, e rovinate son ora in piedi fortificate.they shal say: This land vntilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the desert cities, and destitute and vndermined, haue sitten fenced.dicent: Terra illa inculta facta est ut hortus voluptatis: / et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.

36And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.E conosceran quelle genti, che rimarranno intorno a voi, che io il Signore riedifico le rovine, e gl'inculti luoghi riduco a coltura, che io il Signore ho parlato, ed ho fatto.And the Nations whatsoeuer shal be left round about you, shal know that I the Lord haue builded the destroyed thinges, and planted the vntilled places, that I the Lord haue spoken, and done it.Et scient gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, / quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta: / ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim. 37Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Questo pure otterrà da me la casa d'Israele, ch'io faccia per lei: io li moltiplicherò, come un gregge di uomini,Thus saith our Lord God: As yet in this shal the house of Israel finde me, that I wil doe for them: I wil multiplie them as a flocke of men,Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israël, ut faciam eis: / multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum, 38As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.Come gregge santo, come il gregge di Gerusalemme ne' suoi di solenni: così saranno le deserte città piene di greggi di uomini, e conosceran, che io sono il Signore.as a holie flocke, as the flocke of Ierusalem in the solemnities therof: So shal the desert cities be ful of flockes of men: and they shal know that I am the Lord.ut gregem sanctum, / ut gregem Jerusalem in solemnitatibus ejus: / sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum: / et scient quia ego Dominus.
