And the word of our Lord was made to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying:AND the word of our Lord was made to me, in the ninth yeare, in the tenth moneth, the tenth day of the moneth, saying:✦Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens :
2Son of man, write thee the name of this day, wherein the king of Babylon is confirmed against Jerusalem to day.Sonne of man, write thee the name of this day, wherin the king of Babylon is confirmed against Ierusalem to day.✦Fili hominis, scribe tibi nomen diei hujus, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Jerusalem hodie.
3And thou shalt speak by a proverb to the irritatricem: irritating, annoying; provoking, rebellious house a parable, and shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Set thou a pot, set it, I say, and put water into it.And thou shalt speake by a prouerbe to the exasperating house a parable, and shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Set thou a potte, set it, I say, and put water into it.✦Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Pone ollam ; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.

5Take the fattest beast, and lay together piles of bones also under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are throughly discocta: boiled, cooked by boiling in the midst thereof.Take the fattest beast, and lay together pyles of bones also vnder it: the seething therof is boyling hotte, and the bones therof are throughly sodden in the middes therof.Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea : efferbuit coctio ejus, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio ejus.

7For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the most clear rock: she shed it not upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.For her bloud is in the middes of her, she hath shed it vpon the most cleare rocke: she shed it not vpon the ground, that it might be couered with dust.✦Sanguis enim ejus in medio ejus est ; super limpidissimam petram effudit illum : non effudit illum super terram, ut possit operiri pulvere.
8That I might bring mine indignation in upon her, and might revenge with vengeance: I gave her blood upon the most clear rock, that it might not be covered.That I might bring mine indignation in vpon her, and might reuenge with vengeance: I gaue her bloud vpon the most clere rocke, that it might not be couered.✦Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer, dedi sanguinem ejus super petram limpidissimam, ne operiretur.
9Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Woe to the city of blood, whose pyram: a festive bonfire; a fire of bones, a funeral pyre I will make great.Therfore thus saith our Lord God: Wo to the citie of bloud, whose bonefire I wil make great.Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Væ civitati sanguinum, cujus ego grandem faciam pyram !

13Thine uncleanness is execrabilis: of very poor quality; accursed, abominable, to be loathed: because I would cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: yea neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I make mine indignation to cease in thee.Thine vncleannes is execrable: because I would clense thee, and thou art not clensed from thy filthines: yea neither shalt thou be clensed, before I make myne indignation to cease in thee.Immunditia tua execrabilis, quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis : sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.

16Son of man, behold I take from thee the thing that thine eyes desire in a plaga: an epidemic disease; a sudden stroke or blow of death: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep: neither shall thy tears run.Sonne of man, behold I take from thee the thing that thine eyes desire in a plague: and thou shalt not lament, nor weepe: neither shal thy teares runne.✦Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga : et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrimæ tuæ.
17Sigh holding thy peace, thou shalt not make the mourning of the dead: let thy crown be tied round about thee, and thy shoes shall be on thy feet, neither shalt thou cover thy face with a cloth, neither shalt thou eat the cibos: animal flesh; food, victuals generally of mourners.Sigh holding thy peace, thou shalt not make the mourning of the dead: let thy crowne be tyed round about thee, and thy shoes shal be on thy feete, neither shalt thou couer thy face with a cloth, neither shalt thou eate the meates of mourners.Ingemisce tacens : mortuorum luctum non facies : corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis : nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.

19And the people said to me: Why doest thou not tell us what these things signify, that thou doest?And the people sayd to me: Why doest thou not tel vs what these thinges signifie, that thou doest?Et dixit ad me populus : Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent quæ tu facis ?

22And you shall do as I have done: your faces with a cloth you shall not cover, and the meats of mourners you shall not eat.And you shal doe as I haue done: your faces with a clothe you shal not couer, and the meates of mourners you shal not eate.✦Et facietis sicut feci : ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis :

24And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a portending portentum: a portent, a foreshowing sign or wonder: according to all things, that he hath done, shall you do when this shall come: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.And Ezechiel shal be vnto you for a portending signe: according to al thinges, that he hath done, shal you doe when this shal come: and you shal know that I am the Lord God.Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum : juxta omnia quæ fecit, facietis cum venerit istud : et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
25And thou son of man, behold in the day, wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of dignity, and the desire of their eyes, whereupon their souls rest, their sons and daughters.And thou sonne of man, behold in the day, wherin I wil take away from them their strength, and the ioy of dignitie, and the desire of their eyes, wherupon their soules rest, their sonnes and daughters.✦Et tu, fili hominis, ecce in die qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animæ eorum, filios et filias eorum :
26In that day when one fleeing shall come to thee, to tell thee:In that day when one fleing shal come to thee, to tel thee:✦in die illa, cum venerit fugiens ad te ut annuntiet tibi :
27in that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened with him that fleeth, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a portending sign, and you shall know that I am the Lord.in that day, I say, shal thy mouth be opened with him that fleeth, and thou shalt speake, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be vnto them for a portending signe, and you shal know that I am the Lord.in die, inquam illa, aperietur os tuum cum eo qui fugit, et loqueris, et non silebis ultra : erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
