34 — Ezechiele

1And 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: 2Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?Figliuolo dell'uomo, profetizza intorno a' pastori d'Israele, profetizza, e di ai pastori: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Guai a' pastori d'Israele, i quali pascon se stessi: non son eglino i greggi, che son pasciuti dai pastori?Sonne of man prophecie of the pastours of Israel: prophecie, and thou shalt say to the pastours: Thus fayth our Lord God: Wo to the pastours of Israel, which fed themselues: are not the flockes fed of the pastours?Fili hominis, propheta de pastoribus Israël: propheta, et dices pastoribus: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Væ pastoribus Israël, qui pascebant semetipsos ! / nonne greges a pastoribus pascuntur ? 3You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.Voi mangiavate il latte; e delle lane vi facevate vestito, e le grasse pecore uccidevate, ma del gregge mio non avevate pensiero.You did eate the milke, and were couered with the wool, and that which was fatte ye killed: but my flocke you fed not.Lac comedebatis, / et lanis operiebamini, / et quod crassum erat occidebatis: / gregem autem meum non pascebatis. 4The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand.Non ristoraste il debole, non sanaste il malato, non fasciaste le membra rotte, e non sollevaste le (pecore) cadute, e non andaste in cerca delle traviate: ma governaste con rigore, e con crudeltà.That which was weake, you strengthened not: and that which was sicke, you healed not: that which was broken, you bound not vp: and that which was cast away, you brought not againe: and that which was lost, you sought not: but with austeritie you did rule ouer them, and with might.Quod infirmum fuit non consolidastis, / et quod ægrotum non sanastis: / quod confractum est non alligastis, / et quod abjectum est non reduxistis, / et quod perierat non quæsistis: / sed cum austeritate imperabatis eis, et cum potentia.

5And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd and they became the prey of all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.E le mie pecorelle si son disperse, perchè eran senza pastore: e sono state divorate da tutte le fiere del campo, e si sono disperse.And my sheepe were dispersed, because there was no pastour: and they came to be deuoured of al the beasts of the filde, and were dispersed.Et dispersæ sunt oves meæ, eo quod non esset pastor: / et factæ sunt in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri, / et dispersæ sunt. 6My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks were scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.I miei greggi andaron errando per tutti i monti, e per tutte le alte colline, e si spersero le mie greggi per tutta quanta la terra, e non era chi andasse in traccia di esse, non era, dico, chi in traccia ne andasse.My flockes haue wandered in al mountaines, and in euerie high hil: and vpon al the face of the earth were my flockes dispersed, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.Erraverunt greges mei in cunctis montibus, / et in universo colle excelso: / et super omnem faciem terræ dispersi sunt greges mei, / et non erat qui requireret: / non erat, inquam, qui requireret. 7Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:Per questo udite, o pastori, la parola del Signore:Therfore ye sheepheards heare the word of our Lord:Propterea, pastores, audite verbum Domini. 8As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:Io giuro, dice il Signore Dio, perchè i miei greggi sono stati esposti alle rapine, e le mie pecorelle ad essere divorate da tutte le bestie dei campi, perchè non vi era pastore: imperocché i miei pastori non badavano al mio gregge, ma pascevan se stessi, e non pascevano i miei greggi;Liue I, saith our Lord God: that for as much as my flockes haue bene made a spoile: & my sheepe to be deuoured of al the beasts of the filde, because there was no pastour (for my pastours did not seeke my flocke but the pastours fed themselues, & my flockes they fed not:)Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, / quia pro eo quod facti sunt greges mei in rapinam, / et oves meæ in devorationem omnium bestiarum agro, / eo quod non esset pastor: / neque enim quæsierunt pastores mei gregem meum, / sed pascebant pastores semetipsos, / et greges meos non pascebant:

9Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:Per questo udite, o pastori, la parola del Signore:therfore ye pastours heare the word of our Lord:propterea, pastores, audite verbum Domini. 10Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them.Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Ecco, che io stesso ai pastori domanderò conto del mio gregge, a loro il domanderò, e farò fine di essi, affinchè più non pascano il gregge, e non pascano più se stessi i pastori, e il gregge mio libererò dalle loro fauci, e non sarà più loro cibo;Thus sayth our Lord God: Behold I my self vpon the shepheards, I wil require my flocke of their hand, and I wil make them cease, that they fede my flocke no more, and that the pastours feede no more themselues: and I wil deliuer my flocke out of their mouth, and it shal no more be meate for them.Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce ego ipse super pastores: / requiram gregem meum de manu eorum, / et cessare faciam eos, / ut ultra non pascant gregem, / nec pascant amplius pastores semetipsos: / et liberabo gregem meum de ore eorum, / et non erit ultra eis in escam. 11For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them.Imperocché queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Ecco, che io stesso anderò in cerca di mie pecorelle, e le visiterò.Because thus saith our Lord God: Behold I my self wil seeke my sheepe, and wil visite them.Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce ego ipse requiram oves meas, / et visitabo eas. 12As the shepherd visiteth his flock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.Come il pastore va rivedendo il suo gregge nel giorno, in cui trovasi in mezzo alle sue pecorelle, che si eran disperse, così visiterò io le mie pecorelle, e rimenerolle da tutti que' luoghi, pe' quali erano state disperse nel giorno di nuvolo, e di caligine.As the pastour visiteth his flocke in the day when he shal be in the middes of his sheepe which were scattered: so wil I visite my sheepe, and wil deliuer them out of al places, wherein they had bene dispersed in the day of the cloude and of darkenes.Sicut visitat pastor gregem suum, / in die quando fuerit in medio ovium suarum dissipatarum, / sic visitabo oves meas, / et liberabo eas de omnibus locis / in quibus dispersæ fuerant in die nubis et caliginis.

13And I will bring them out from the peoples, and will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations of the land.E trarrolle di mezzo ai popoli, e le radunerò dalle varie regioni, e condurrolle nella loro terra, e pascerolle sui monti d'Israele, e presso ai rivi, e in tutti i luoghi di essa terra.And I wil bring them out of the peoples, and wil gather them out of the landes, and wil bring them into their owne land: and I wil feede them in the mountaines of Israel, in the riuers, and in al the seates of the land.Et educam eas de populis, / et congregabo eas de terris, / et inducam eas in terram suam, / et pascam eas in montibus Israël, / in rivis, et in cunctis sedibus terræ. 14I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of Israel.Le menerò in abbondantissimi pascoli, e sui monti eccelsi d'Israele saranno i pascoli loro: ivi riposeranno sulle erbette verdeggianti, e alle grasse pasture si satolleranno sui monti d'Israele.In the most plentiful pastures wil I feede them, and in the high mountaines of Israel shal be their pastures: there shal they rest on the greene grasse, and in fatte pastures they shal be fed vpon the mountaines of Israel.In pascuis uberrimis pascam eas, / et in montibus excelsis Israël erunt pascua earum: / ibi requiescent in herbis virentibus, / et in pascuis pinguibus pascentur super montes Israël. 15I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.Io pascerò le mie pecorelle, ed io le farò riposare, dice il Signore Dio.I wil fede my sheepe: & I wil make them lie, saith our Lord God.Ego pascam oves meas, et ego eas accubare faciam, / dicit Dominus Deus. 16I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve, and I will feed them in judgment.Anderò in cerca di quelle, che erano smarrite, e solleverò quelle, che eran cadute, e fascerò le piaghe di quelle, che avran sofferta frattura, e ristorerò le deboli, ed avrò l'occhio a quelle, che son grasse, e robuste, e ognuna di esse pascerò con saggezza.That which was lost, I wil seke: & that which was cast away, I wil bring againe: and that which was broken I wil binde vp: and that which was weake, I wil strengthen: and that which was fatte & strong, I wil kepe: & wil feede them in iudgment.Quod perierat requiram, / et quod abjectum erat reducam, / et quod confractum fuerat alligabo, / et quod infirmum fuerat consolidabo, / et quod pingue et forte custodiam: / et pascam illas in judicio.

17And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats.Ma a voi, greggi miei, queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Ecco, che io fo giudizio tra pecore, e pecore, tra arieti, e montoni.And you my flockes, thus saith our Lord God: Behold I iudge betwen beast and beast, of rammes, and of bucke goates.Vos autem, greges mei, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce ego judico inter pecus et pecus, / arietum et hircorum. 18Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the clearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.Non bastava egli a voi di consumare i buoni pascoli? Voi di più gli avanzi di vostra pastura avete ancor pestati co' vostri piedi, e bevuto avendo acqua purissima, quella, che ne lasciaste, la intorbidaste co' vostri piedi,Was it not ynough for you to feede vpon good pastures? you haue besides also troden downe with your fete the residue of your pastures: and when you dranke most pure water, the rest you trubled with your feete.Nonne satis vobis erat pascua bona depasci ? / insuper et reliquias pascuarum vestrarum conculcastis pedibus vestris: / et cum purissimam aquam biberetis, / reliquam pedibus vestris turbabatis: 19And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.E le mie pecorelle di quello pascevansi, che avevate voi pestato co' piedi vostri, e l'acqua beveano intorbidata da' vostri piedi.And my sheepe were fed with those thinges, which were troden with your feete: and what your feete had trubled, that did they drinke.et oves meæ his quæ conculcata pedibus vestris fuerant, pascebantur: / et quæ pedes vestri turbaverant, hæc bibebant. 20Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.Per questo così dice a voi il Signore Dio: Ecco, che io fo giudizio trai pingue bestiame, e il magro;Therfore thus saith our Lord God to you: Behold, I myself doe iudge betwen the fat beast and the leane.Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad vos: / Ecce ego ipse judico inter pecus pingue et macilentum: 21Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:Perocché voi urtavate co' fianchi, e cogli omeri vostri le deboli pecorelle, colle vostre corna le gettavate per aria, fino a tanto che fosser cacciate fuora, e disperse;For that you with sides and shoulders did thrust, and with your hornes stroke al the weake beastes, til they were dispersed abrode:pro eo quod lateribus et humeris impingebatis, / et cornibus vestris ventilabatis omnia infirma pecora, / donec dispergerentur foras,

22I will save my flock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.Io salverò il mio gregge, ed ei non sarà più depredato: ed io farò giudizio tra bestiame, e bestiame,I wil saue my flocke, & it shal be no more into spoile, & I wil iudge betwen beast and beast.salvabo gregem meum, / et non erit ultra in rapinam, / et judicabo inter pecus et pecus. 23And I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.E susciterò ad esse l'unico Pastore, che le governi, Davidde mio servo: egli le pascerà, ed ei sarà il loro pastore.AND I WIL RAISE VP OVER THEM ONE PASTOVR: who shal fede them, my seruant Dauid: he shal fede them, and he shal be their Pastour.Et suscitabo super eas pastorem unum qui pascat eas, / servum meum David: / ipse pascet eas, / et ipse erit eis in pastorem. 24And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.Ed io il Signore sarò loro Dio, e il mio servo Davidde sarà principe in mezzo di esse: io il Signore ho parlato.And I the Lord wil be their God: & my seruant Dauid the prince in the middes of them: I the Lord haue spoken.Ego autem Dominus ero eis in Deum, / et servus meus David princeps in medio eorum: / ego Dominus locutus sum. 25And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.E con esse farò alleanza di pace, e sterminerò dalla lor terra le fiere crudeli, e quegli, che abitano nel deserto, dormiranno quietamente pei boschi.And I wil make a couenant of peace with them, and wil make the most cruel beastes to cease out of the land: and they that dwel in the desert, shal sleepe secure in the forrests.Et faciam cum eis pactum pacis, / et cessare faciam bestias pessimas de terra: / et qui habitant in deserto, / securi dormient in saltibus. 26And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.E li farò benedizione intorno al mio monte, e manderò a suo tempo la pioggia: le pioggie saran di benedizione,And I wil put them round about my hil a blessing: and I wil bring downe the showere in his time, there shal be raynes of blessing.Et ponam eos in circuitu collis mei benedictionem, / et deducam imbrem in tempore suo: / pluviæ benedictionis erunt.

27And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.E gli alberi della campagna produrranno il lor frutto, e la terra i suoi germi, e nella terra loro staranno senza timore, e conosceran, ch'io sono il Signore, quando avrò spezzate le catene del giogo loro, e gli avrò sottratti al poter di coloro, che li dominavano.And the tree of the filde shal geue his fruite, and the earth shal geue her spring, and they shal be in their land without feare: and they shal know that I am the Lord, when I shal haue broken the cheynes of their yoke, and shal haue deliuered them out of the hand of those that rule ouer them.Et dabit lignum agri fructum suum, / et terra dabit germen suum, / et erunt in terra sua absque timore: / et scient quia ego Dominus, / cum contrivero catenas jugi eorum, / et eruero eos de manu imperantium sibi. 28And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without, any terror.E non saran più preda delle nazioni, né li divoreranno le bestie della terra; ma riposeranno tranquillamente senza verun timore.And they shal be no more for a spoile in the Gentiles, neither shal the beastes of the earth deuoure them: but they shal dwel confidently without any terrour.Et non erunt ultra in rapinam in gentibus, / neque bestiæ terræ devorabunt eos: / sed habitabunt confidenter absque ullo terrore. 29And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.E farò nascer per essi il germe rinomato, e non saran più consunti dalla fame nella lor terra, e più non porteranno l'obbrobrio delle nazioni.And I wil raise vp vnto them a bud of name: and they shal be no more diminished for famine in the land, neither shal they beare anie more the reproch of the Gentiles.Et suscitabo eis germen nominatum, / et non erunt ultra imminuti fame in terra, / neque portabunt ultra opprobrium gentium. 30And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.E conosceranno, che io il Signore Dio loro sarò con essi, ed eglino, casa d'Israele, saran mio popolo, dice il Signore Dio.And they shal know that I the Lord their God with them, and they my people the house of Israel: saith our Lord God.Et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum cum eis, / et ipsi populus meus domus Israël, / ait Dominus Deus.

31And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.E voi, o uomini, voi siete i miei greggi, greggi pasciuti da me, ed io il Signore Dio vostro, dice il Signore Dio.And you my flockes, the flockes of my pasture are men: and I the Lord your God, saith our Lord God.Vos autem, greges mei, greges pascuæ meæ, / homines estis: / et ego Dominus Deus vester, / dicit Dominus Deus.
