And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:AND the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
2Son of man thou dwellest in the midst of an exasperans: provoking to anger, stubborn and rebellious, not merely irritating or annoying house: which have eyes to see, and see not: and ears to hear, and hear not: because it is an exasperating house.Sonne of man thou dwelest in the middes of an exasperating house: which haue eyes to see, and see not: and eares to heare, and heare not: because it is an exasperating house.✦Fili hominis, in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas : qui oculos habent ad videndum, et non vident, et aures ad audiendum, et non audiunt : quia domus exasperans est.
3Thou therefore O son of man, make thee vessels of transmigrationis: the carrying-away into exile, the Captivity, and thou shalt transmigrabis: to remove thy dwelling, migrate, decamp by day before them: and thou shalt flit out of thy place to another place in their sight, if perhaps they will behold: because it is an exasperating house.Thou therfore ô sonne of man, make thee vessels of transmigration, and thou shalt flitte by day before them: and thou shalt flitte out of thy place to an other place in their sight, if perhaps they wil behold: because it is an exasperating house.✦Tu ergo, fili hominis, fac tibi vasa transmigrationis, et transmigrabis per diem coram eis. Transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum, si forte aspiciant, quia domus exasperans est :
4And thou shalt carry forth thy vessels as the vessels of one flitting by day in the sight of them: and thou shalt go forth at even before them, as one goeth forth that flitteth.And thou shalt carie forth thy vessels as the vessels of one flitting by day in the sight of them: and thou shalt goe forth at euen before them, as one goeth forth that flitteth.et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum : tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis, sicut egreditur migrans.
5Before their eyes dig to thee through the wall: and thou shalt go forth through it.Before their eyes dig to thee through the wall: and thou shalt goe forth through it.✦Ante oculos eorum perfode tibi parietem, et egredieris per eum.
6In their sight on shoulders thou shalt be carried, in the dark thou shalt be carried out: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the earth: because I have given thee a portentum: fore-showing, foreboding, given as a portent sign to the house of Israel.In their sight on shoulders thou shalt be caried, in the darke thou shalt be caried out: thou shalt couer thy face, & shalt not see the earth: because I haue geuen thee a portending signe to the house of Israel.✦In conspectu eorum in humeris portaberis ; in caligine effereris : faciem tuam velabis, et non videbis terram, quia portentum dedi te domui Israël.
7I did therefore as he had commanded me: I carried my vessels as the vessels of one flitting by day: and at even I digged to me through the wall with my hand: and I went forth in the dark, and was carried on shoulders in their sight.I did therfore as he had commanded me: I caried my vessels as the vessels of one flitting by day: and at euen I digged to me through the wall with my hand: and I went forth in the darke, and was caried on shoulders in their sight.Feci ergo sicut præceperat mihi Dominus : vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem, et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu : et in caligine egressus sum, in humeris portatus in conspectu eorum.
8And the word of our Lord was made to me in the morning, saying:And the word of our Lord was made to me in the morning, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini mane ad me, dicens :
9Son of man, hath not the house of Israel the exasperating house said to thee: What dost thou?Sonne of man, hath not the house of Israel the exasperating house sayd to thee: What doest thou?✦Fili hominis, numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israël, domus exasperans : Quid tu facis ?
10Say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: This burden upon the prince, that is in Jerusalem, and upon all the house of Israel, which is in the midst of them.Say to them: Thus sayth our Lord God: This burden vpon the prince, that is in Ierusalem, and vpon al the house of Israel, which is in the middes of them.Dic ad eos : [Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Super ducem onus istud, qui est in Jerusalem, et super omnem domum Israël, quæ est in medio eorum.]
11Say: I am your portending sign, as I have done, so shall it be done to them. into transmigration, and into captivity shall they go.Say: I am your portending signe, as I haue done, so shal it be done to them. into transmigration, and into captiuitie shal they goe.✦Dic : [Ego portentum vestrum : quomodo feci, sic fiet illis : in transmigrationem et in captivitatem ibunt.
12And the prince, that is in the midst of them, shall be carried on shoulders, he shall go forth in the dark: they shall dig through the wall to bring him out: his face shall be covered, that he may not see the earth with his eye.And the prince, that is in the middes of them, shal be caried on shoulders, he shal goe forth in the darke: they shal digge through the wal to bring him out: his face shal be couered, that he may not see the earth with his eye.✦Et dux qui est in medio eorum, in humeris portabitur ; in caligine egredietur : parietem perfodient, ut educant eum ; facies ejus operietur, ut non videat oculo terram.
13And I will stretch forth my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon into the land of the Chaldees, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die.And I wil strech forth my nette vpon him, and he shal be taken in my net: and I wil bring him into Babylon into the land of the Chaldees, and he shal not see it, and there he shal dye.✦Et extendam rete meum super eum, et capietur in sagena mea : et adducam eum in Babylonem, in terram Chaldæorum, et ipsam non videbit : ibique morietur.
14And all that are about him, his guard, and his troops I will disperse into every wind: and I will draw the sword after them.And al that are about him, his gard, & his troupes I wil disperse into euerie wind: and I wil draw the sword after them.Et omnes qui circa eum sunt, præsidium ejus, et agmina ejus, dispergam in omnem ventum, et gladium evaginabo post eos.
15And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have dispersed them in the Gentiles, and scattered them in the lands.And they shal know that I am the Lord, when I shal haue dispersed them in the Gentils, and scattered them in the landes.Et scient quia ego Dominus, quando dispersero illos in gentibus, et disseminavero eos in terris.
16And I will leave of them a few men from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: that they may declare all their wicked deeds in the Gentiles, to which they shall enter: and they shall know that I am the Lord.And I wil leaue of them a few men from the sword, & the famine, and the pestilence: that they may declare al their wicked deeds in the Gentils, to which they shal enter: and they shal know that I am the Lord.✦Et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio, et fame, et pestilentia, ut enarrent omnia scelera eorum in gentibus ad quas ingredientur, et scient quia ego Dominus.]
17And the word of our Lord was made unto me, saying:And the word of our Lord was made vnto me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
18Son of man, eat thy bread in trouble: yea and drink thy water in haste, and sorrowfulness.Sonne of man, eate thy breade in truble: yea and drinke thy water in hast, & sorowfulnes.[Fili hominis, panem tuum in conturbatione comede, sed et aquam tuam in festinatione et mœrore bibe.
19And thou shalt say to the people of the land: Thus saith our Lord God to them, that dwell in Jerusalem in the land of Israel: Their bread they shall eat in sollicitudine: anxiety, anxious worldly care, not carelessness or negligence, and their water in desolation they shall drink: that the land may be made desolate from the multitude thereof, for the iniquity of all that dwell therein.And thou shalt say to the people of the land: Thus sayth our Lord God to them, that dwel in Ierusalem in the land of Israel: Their bread they shal eate in carefulnes, and their water in desolation they shal drinke: that the land may be made desolate from the multitude therof, for the iniquitie of al that dwel therin.Et dices ad populum terræ : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad eos qui habitant in Jerusalem, in terra Israël : Panem suum in sollicitudine comedent, et aquam suam in desolatione bibent : ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua, propter iniquitatem omnium qui habitant in ea.
20And the cities, that are now inhabited, shall be desolate, and the land desert: and you shall know that I am the Lord.And the cities, that are now inhabited, shal be desolate, and the land desert: and you shal know that I am the Lord.Et civitates quæ nunc habitantur, desolatæ erunt, terraque deserta, et scietis quia ego Dominus.]
21And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
22Son of man, what is this proverb with you in the land of Israel? saying: The days shall be differentur: put off, deferred, delayed to a long time, and all vision shall perish.Sonne of man, what is this prouerbe with you in the land of Israel? saying: The dayes shal be differred to a long time, & al vision shal perish.✦[Fili hominis, quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israël, dicentium : In longum differentur dies, et peribit omnis visio ?
23Therefore say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: I will make this proverb cease, neither shall it any more be commonly said in Israel: and speak to them that the days are at hand, and the word of every vision.Therfore say to them: Thus sayth our Lord God: I wil make this prouerb cease, neither shal it anie more be commonly sayd in Israel: and speake to them that the dayes are at hand, and the word of euerie vision.Ideo dic ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quiescere faciam proverbium istud, neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israël : et loquere ad eos quod appropinquaverint dies, et sermo omnis visionis.
24for all vision shall no more be in vain, nor divination ambiguous in the midst of the children of Israel.for al vision shal no more be in vaine, nor diuination ambiguous in the middes of the children of Israel.Non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa, neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israël :
25Because I the Lord will speak: and what word soever I shall speak, shall also be done, it shall not be prolonged any more: but in your days ye exasperating house, will I speak the word, and will do it, saith our Lord God.Because I the Lord wil speake: and what word soeuer I shal speake, shal also be done, it shal not be prolonged anie more: but in your dayes ye exasperating house, wil I speake the word, & wil doe it, sayth our Lord God.quia ego Dominus loquar, et quodcumque locutus fuero verbum, fiet, et non prolongabitur amplius : sed in diebus vestris, domus exasperans, loquar verbum, et faciam illud, dicit Dominus Deus.]
26And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
27Son of man, behold the house of Israel, they that say: The vision, that this man seeth, is for many days: and this man prophesieth long times.Sonne of man, behold the house of Israel, they that say: The vision, that this man seeth, is for manie dayes: and this man prophecieth long times.[Fili hominis, ecce domus Israël dicentium : Visio quam hic videt, in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat.
28Therefore say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Every word of mine shall be prolonged no further: the word that I shall speak, shall be accomplished, saith our Lord God.Therfore say to them: Thus sayth our Lord God: Euerie word of mine shal be prolonged no further: the word that I shal speake, shal be accomplished, sayth our Lord God.Propterea dic ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus : verbum quod locutus fuero, complebitur, dicit Dominus Deus.]
