Ezekiel 33

et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

fili hominis loquere ad filios populi tui et dices ad eos terra cum induxero super eam gladium et tulerit populus terrae virum unum de novissimis suis et constituerit eum super se speculatorem

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

et ille viderit gladium venientem super terram et cecinerit bucina et adnuntiaverit populo

If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

audiens autem quisquis ille est sonum bucinae non se observaverit veneritque gladius et tulerit eum sanguis ipsius super caput eius erit

Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

sonum bucinae audivit et non se observavit sanguis eius in ipso erit si autem custodierit animam suam salvavit

He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

quod si speculator viderit gladium venientem et non insonuerit bucina et populus non se custodierit veneritque gladius et tulerit de eis animam ille quidem in iniquitate sua captus est sanguinem autem eius de manu speculatoris requiram

But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

et tu fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israhel audiens ergo ex ore meo sermonem adnuntiabis eis ex me

So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

si me dicente ad impium impie morte morieris non fueris locutus ut se custodiat impius a via sua ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram

When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

si autem adnuntiante te ad impium ut a viis suis convertatur non fuerit conversus a via sua ipse in iniquitate sua morietur porro tu animam tuam liberasti

Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

tu ergo fili hominis dic ad domum Israhel sic locuti estis dicentes iniquitates nostrae et peccata nostra super nos sunt et in ipsis nos tabescimus quomodo ergo vivere poterimus

Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?

dic ad eos vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus nolo mortem impii sed ut revertatur impius a via sua et vivat convertimini a viis vestris pessimis et quare moriemini domus Israhel

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

tu itaque fili hominis dic ad filios populi tui iustitia iusti non liberabit eum in quacumque die peccaverit et impietas impii non nocebit ei in quacumque die conversus fuerit ab impietate sua et iustus non poterit vivere in iustitia sua in quacumque die peccaverit

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.

etiam si dixero iusto quod vita vivat et confisus in iustitia sua fecerit iniquitatem omnes iustitiae eius oblivioni tradentur et in iniquitate sua quam operatus est in ipsa morietur

When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

sin autem dixero impio morte morieris et egerit paenitentiam a peccato suo feceritque iudicium et iustitiam

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

pignus restituerit ille impius rapinamque reddiderit in mandatis vitae ambulaverit nec fecerit quicquam iniustum vita vivet et non morietur

If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

omnia peccata eius quae peccavit non inputabuntur ei iudicium et iustitiam fecit vita vivet

None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

et dixerunt filii populi tui non est aequi ponderis via Domini et ipsorum via iniusta est

Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

cum enim recesserit iustus a iustitia sua feceritque iniquitatem morietur in eis

When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

et cum recesserit impius ab impietate sua feceritque iudicium et iustitiam vivet in eis

But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

et dicitis non est recta via Domini unumquemque iuxta vias suas iudicabo de vobis domus Israhel

Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

et factum est in duodecimo anno in duodecimo mense in quinta mensis transmigrationis nostrae venit ad me qui fugerat de Hierusalem dicens vastata est civitas

And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.

manus autem Domini facta fuerat ad me vespere antequam veniret qui fugerat aperuitque os meum donec veniret ad me mane et aperto ore meo non silui amplius

Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

fili hominis qui habitant in ruinosis his super humum Israhel loquentes aiunt unus erat Abraham et hereditate possedit terram nos autem multi nobis data est terra in possessionem

Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.

idcirco dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus qui in sanguine comeditis et oculos vestros levatis ad inmunditias vestras et sanguinem funditis numquid terram hereditate possidebitis

Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?

stetistis in gladiis vestris fecistis abominationes et unusquisque uxorem proximi sui polluit et terram hereditate possidebitis

Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?

haec dices ad eos sic dicit Dominus Deus vivo ego quia qui in ruinosis habitant gladio cadent et qui in agro est bestiis tradetur ad devorandum qui autem in praesidiis et in speluncis sunt peste morientur

Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

et dabo terram in solitudinem et desertum et deficiet superba fortitudo eius et desolabuntur montes Israhel eo quod nullus sit qui per eos transeat

For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.

et scient quia ego Dominus cum dedero terram desolatam et desertam propter universas abominationes suas quas operati sunt

Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.

et tu fili hominis filii populi tui qui loquuntur de te iuxta muros et in ostiis domorum et dicunt unus ad alterum vir ad proximum suum loquentes venite et audiamus qui sit sermo egrediens a Domino

Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

et veniunt ad te quasi si ingrediatur populus et sedent coram te populus meus et audiunt sermones tuos et non faciunt eos quia in canticum oris sui vertunt illos et avaritiam suam sequitur cor eorum

And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

et es eis quasi carmen musicum quod suavi dulcique sono canitur et audient verba tua et non facient ea

And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

et cum venerit quod praedictum est ecce enim venit tunc scient quod prophetes fuerit inter eos

And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
