1 Word came to me from the Lord: 2 So much timber in the forest, son of man! And what of the vine that grows wild there? 3 What avails the wood of it for any manner of craftsmanship? Who will use it to make so much as a peg that pot or pan should hang from? 4 And now it has been thrown away to feed the fire; now either end is burnt up altogether, and the middle of it no better than charcoal; of what use is it now, 5 that use had none even when it was whole? Half burned away, half scorched, here is right unserviceable timber! 6 And I, the Lord says, that destined yonder wild vine to feed the oven, have decreed for the citizens of Jerusalem no other destiny. 7 My frown shall meet them yet; if they have escaped the fire, it is to be consumed by fire anew. Under my frown, they shall learn what manner of God I am; 8 their land all pathless and desolate, for their guilt’s rewarding, says the Lord God. |
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 2
Fili hominis, quid fiet de ligno vitis,
ex omnibus lignis nemorum
quæ sunt inter ligna silvarum? 3
numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus,
aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus
ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas? 4
Ecce igni datum est in escam:
utramque partem ejus consumpsit ignis,
et medietas ejus redacta est in favillam:
numquid utile erit ad opus? 5
Etiam cum esset integrum,
non erat aptum ad opus:
quanto magis cum illud ignis devoraverit et combusserit,
nihil ex eo fiet operis? 6
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum,
quod dedi igni ad devorandum,
sic tradam habitatores Jerusalem. 7
Et ponam faciem meam in eos:
de igne egredientur,
et ignis consumet eos:
et scietis quia ego Dominus,
cum posuero faciem meam in eos, 8
et dedero terram inviam et desolatam,
eo quod prævaricatores extiterint,
dicit Dominus Deus. |
