1 Word came to me from the Lord: 2 Wilt thou not arraign them, citizens of this murderous place, wilt thou not arraign them? 3 Confront them with their foul misdeeds, and give them this message from the Lord God: Here is a city that hastens her own end with open bloodshed, soils herself with idols to her own undoing. 4 Blood-spilth and idol-filth have brought thy time nearer, shortened thy years; what marvel if I let the heathen reproach thee, a whole world mock thee? 5 What marvel if men exult over thee, far and near, great only in thy misfortune, as thou art renowned only for thy shame? 6 No better title now to Israel’s nobility, than to fill those streets with blood! 7 Home of wrong, where father and mother are despised, the stranger oppressed, widow and orphan ill-used! 8 My sanctuary, how it is despised, my sabbath how profaned! 9 Innocent lives sworn away, feasting at the hill-shrines, and foul deeds done besides; 10 see where a father’s bed is dishonoured, a woman pleads her defilement in vain; 11 neighbour comes lecherously between his neighbour’s sheets, father beds incestuously with his son’s wife, brother mates with sister sprung of the same blood! 12 The murderer’s hire, usury and extortion, gains won by violence; and of me, the Lord God says, never a thought! 13 Well may I smite hands together, indignant at thy ill-gotten gains, thy murderous doings; 14 will thy courage be so high, thy arm so powerful, when it is I that reckon with thee? What the Lord threatens, the Lord fulfils. 15 Far will I banish thee, widely scatter thee, and bring the tale of thy shame to an end; 16 so I will claim my rights over thee for all the world to see, and thou shalt learn at last my power. |
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: 2 Et tu, fili hominis, nonne judicas, nonne judicas civitatem sanguinum? 3 Et ostendes ei omnes abominationes suas, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Civitas effundens sanguinem in medio sui, ut veniat tempus ejus: et quæ fecit idola contra semetipsam, ut pollueretur. 4 In sanguine tuo, qui a te effusus est, deliquisti, et in idolis tuis, quæ fecisti, polluta es: et appropinquare fecisti dies tuos, et adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum: propterea dedi te opprobrium gentibus, et irrisionem universis terris. 5 Quæ juxta sunt, et quæ procul a te, triumphabunt de te, sordida, nobilis, grandis interitu. 6 Ecce principes Israël singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te, ad effundendum sanguinem. 7 Patrem et matrem contumeliis affecerunt: in te advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui: pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te. 8 Sanctuaria mea sprevisti, et sabbata mea polluisti. 9 Viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem, et super montes comederunt in te: scelus operati sunt in medio tui. 10 Verecundiora patris discooperuerunt in te; immunditiam menstruatæ humiliaverunt in te: 11 et unusquisque in uxorem proximi sui operatus est abominationem, et socer nurum suam polluit nefarie: frater sororem suam, filiam patris sui, oppressit in te. 12 Munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem: usuram et superabundantiam accepisti, et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris: meique oblita es, ait Dominus Deus. 13 Ecce complosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam quam fecisti, et super sanguinem qui effusus est in medio tui. 14 Numquid sustinebit cor tuum, aut prævalebunt manus tuæ, in diebus quos ego faciam tibi? Ego Dominus locutus sum, et faciam. 15 Et dispergam te in nationes, et ventilabo te in terras, et deficere faciam immunditiam tuam a te. 16 Et possidebo te in conspectu gentium: et scies quia ego Dominus. |
