Ezekiel 23

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

fili hominis duae mulieres filiae matris unius fuerunt

And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

et fornicatae sunt in Aegypto in adulescentia sua fornicatae sunt ibi subacta sunt ubera earum et fractae sunt mammae pubertatis earum

And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

nomina autem earum Oolla maior et Ooliba soror eius et habui eas et pepererunt filios et filias porro earum nomina Samaria Oolla et Hierusalem Ooliba

And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,

fornicata est igitur Oolla super me et insanivit in amatores suos in Assyrios propinquantes

Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

vestitos hyacintho principes et magistratus iuvenes cupidinis universos equites ascensores equorum

Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

et dedit fornicationes suas super eos electos filios Assyriorum universos et in omnibus in quos insanivit in inmunditiis eorum polluta est

Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.

insuper et fornicationes suas quas habuerat in Aegypto non reliquit nam et illi dormierant cum ea in adulescentia eius et illi confregerant ubera pubertatis eius et effuderant fornicationem suam super eam

Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

propterea tradidi eam in manu amatorum suorum in manus filiorum Assur super quorum insanivit libidinem

These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.

ipsi discoperuerunt ignominiam eius filios et filias illius tulerunt et ipsam occiderunt gladio et factae sunt famosae mulieres et iudicia perpetrarunt in ea

And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.

quod cum vidisset soror eius Ooliba plus quam illa insanivit libidine et fornicationem suam super fornicationem sororis suae

She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.

ad filios Assyriorum praebuit inpudenter ducibus et magistratibus ad se venientibus indutis veste varia equitibus qui vectabantur equis et adulescentibus forma cunctis egregia

Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,

et vidi quod polluta esset via una ambarum

And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,

et auxit fornicationes suas cumque vidisset viros depictos in pariete imagines Chaldeorum expressas coloribus

Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:

et accinctos balteis renes et tiaras tinctas in capitibus eorum formam ducum omnium similitudinem filiorum Babylonis terraeque Chaldeorum in qua orti sunt

And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

et insanivit super eos concupiscentia oculorum suorum et misit nuntios ad eos in Chaldeam

And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.

cumque venissent ad eam filii Babylonis ad cubile mammarum polluerunt eam stupris suis et polluta est ab eis et saturata est anima eius ab illis

So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.

denudavit quoque fornicationes suas et discoperuit ignominiam suam et recessit anima mea ab ea sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore eius

Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

multiplicavit enim fornicationes suas recordans dies adulescentiae suae quibus fornicata est in terra Aegypti

For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

et insanivit libidine super concubitu eorum quorum carnes sunt ut carnes asinorum et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum

Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

et visitasti scelus adulescentiae tuae quando subacta sunt in Aegypto ubera tua et confractae mammae pubertatis tuae

Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;

propterea Ooliba haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego suscitabo omnes amatores tuos contra te de quibus satiata est anima tua et congregabo eos adversum te in circuitu

The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.

filios Babylonis et universos Chaldeos nobiles tyrannosque et principes omnes filios Assyriorum iuvenes forma egregia duces et magistratus universos principes principum et nominatos ascensores equorum

And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

et venient super te instructi curru et rota multitudo populorum lorica et clypeo et galea armabuntur contra te undique et dabo coram eis iudicium et iudicabunt te iudiciis suis

And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

et ponam zelum meum in te quem exercent tecum in furore nasum tuum et aures tuas praecident et quae remanserint gladio concident ipsi filios tuos et filias tuas capient et novissimum tuum devorabitur igni

They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.

et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis et tollent vasa gloriae tuae

Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

et requiescere faciam scelus tuum de te et fornicationem tuam de terra Aegypti nec levabis oculos tuos ad eos et Aegypti non recordaberis amplius

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:

quia haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego tradam te in manu eorum quos odisti in manu de quibus satiata est anima tua

And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

et agent tecum in odio et tollent omnes labores tuos et dimittent te nudam et ignominia plenam revelabitur ignominia fornicationum tuarum scelus tuum et fornicationes tuae

I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.

fecerunt haec tibi quia fornicata es post gentes inter quas polluta es in idolis eorum

Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.

in via sororis tuae ambulasti et dabo calicem eius in manu tua

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.

haec dicit Dominus Deus calicem sororis tuae bibes profundum et latum eris in derisum et in subsannationem quae es capacissima

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

ebrietate et dolore repleberis calice maeroris et tristitiae calice sororis tuae Samariae

Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

et bibes illum et epotabis usque ad feces et fragmenta eius devorabis et ubera tua lacerabis quia ego locutus sum ait Dominus Deus

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quia oblita es mei et proiecisti me post corpus tuum tu quoque porta scelus tuum et fornicationes tuas

The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;

et ait Dominus ad me dicens fili hominis numquid iudicas Oollam et Oolibam et adnuntias eis scelera earum

That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

quia adulterae sunt et sanguis in manibus earum et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt insuper et filios suos quos genuerunt mihi obtulerunt eis ad devorandum

Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.

sed et hoc fecerunt mihi polluerunt sanctuarium meum in die illa et sabbata mea profanaverunt

For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

cumque immolarent filios suos idolis suis et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa ut polluerent illud etiam haec fecerunt in medio domus meae

And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,

miserunt ad viros venientes de longe ad quos nuntium miserant itaque ecce venerunt quibus te lavisti et circumlevisti stibio oculos tuos et ornata es mundo muliebri

And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.

sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo et mensa ordinata est ante te thymiama meum et unguentum meum posuisti super eam

And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

et vox multitudinis exultantis erat in ea et in viris qui de multitudine hominum adducebantur et veniebant de deserto posuerunt armillas in manibus eorum et coronas speciosas in capitibus eorum

Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?

et dixi ei quae adtrita est in adulteriis nunc fornicabitur in fornicatione sua etiam haec

Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.

et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem sic ingrediebantur ad Oollam et ad Oolibam mulieres nefarias

And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

viri ergo iusti sunt hii iudicabunt eas iudicio adulterarum et iudicio effundentium sanguinem quia adulterae sunt et sanguis in manibus earum

For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.

haec enim dicit Dominus Deus adduc ad eas multitudinem et trade eas in tumultum et in rapinam

And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

et lapidentur lapidibus populorum et confodiantur gladiis eorum filios et filias earum interficient et domos earum igne succendent

Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

et auferam scelus de terra et discent omnes mulieres ne faciant secundum scelus earum

And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos et peccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus
