Prophetia Ezechielis

Ezechielis, chapter 28, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 28 Vulgate

   1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:
   2 "Fili hominis, dic principi Tyri: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum, et dixisti: "Deus ego sum et in cathedra deorum sedeo in corde maris!", cum sis homo et non Deus, et dedisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei.
   3 Ecce sapientior es tu Danel, omne secretum non est absconditum a te,
   4 in sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi opes et acquisisti aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis;
   5 in multitudine sapientiae tuae et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi opes, et elevatum est cor tuum in opibus tuis.
   6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod fecisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei,
   7 idcirco ecce ego adducam super te alienos violentissimos gentium; et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiae tuae et polluent splendorem tuum.
   8 In fossam detrahent te, et morieris interitu occisorum in corde maris.
   9 Numquid dicens loqueris: "Deus ego sum!" coram interficientibus te, cum sis homo et non Deus in manu occidentium te?
   10 Morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum, quia ego locutus sum", ait Dominus Deus.
   11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens: "Fili hominis, leva planctum super regem Tyri
   12 et dices ei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tu signaculum perfectum, plenus sapientia et perfectus decore;
   13 in deliciis paradisi Dei fuisti, omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum: sardius, topazius et iaspis, chrysolithus et onyx et beryllus, sapphirus et carbunculus et smaragdus, aurum opus caelaturae in te; in die, qua conditus es, praeparata sunt.
   14 Cum cherub extento et protegente te posui te, in monte sancto Dei fuisti, in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti,
   15 perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuae, donec inventa est iniquitas in te.
   16 In multitudine negotiationis tuae repleta sunt interiora tua iniquitate, et peccasti. Et eieci te de monte Dei, et perdidit te cherub protegens de medio lapidum ignitorum.
   17 Elevatum est cor tuum in decore tuo; perdidisti sapientiam tuam propter splendorem tuum: in terram proieci te, ante faciem regum dedi te, ut cernerent te.
   18 In multitudine iniquitatum tuarum et iniquitate negotiationis tuae polluisti sanctuaria tua; producam ergo ignem de medio tui, qui comedat te, et dabo te in cinerem super terram in conspectu omnium videntium te.
   19 Omnes, qui viderint te, in gentibus obstupescent super te; in horrorem factus es et non eris in perpetuum".
   20 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:
   21 "Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem et propheta de ea
   22 et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, Sidon, et glorificabor in medio tui, et scient quia ego Dominus, cum fecero in ea iudicia et sanctificatus fuero in ea.
   23 Et immittam ei pestilentiam et sanguinem in plateis eius, et corruent interfecti in medio eius gladio per circuitum, et scient quia ego Dominus.
   24 Et non erit ultra domui Israel stimulus amaritudinis et spina dolorem inferens undique per circuitum eorum, qui adversantur eis, et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.
   25 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quando congregavero domum Israel de populis, in quibus dispersi sunt, sanctificabor in eis coram gentibus, et habitabunt in terra sua, quam dedi servo meo Iacob;
   26 et habitabunt in ea securi et aedificabunt domos plantabuntque vineas et habitabunt confidenter, cum fecero iudicia in omnibus, qui adversantur eis per circuitum, et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum".

King James Version

   1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
   2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
   3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
   4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
   5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
   6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
   7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
   8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
   9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
   10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
   11 ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
   13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
   14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
   15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
   16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
   17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
   18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
   19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
   20 ¶ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
   22 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
   23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
   24 ¶ And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
   25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
   26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
