JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Tu autem, fili hominis, propheta super montes Israël, et dices: [Montes Israël, audite verbum Domini.
1And thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
2Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis: Euge, altitudines sempiternæ in hæreditatem datæ sunt nobis:
2Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because the enemy hath said against you: Aha! even the ancient high places are ours in possession;
3propterea vaticinare, et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, et facti in hæreditatem reliquis gentibus, et ascendistis super labium linguæ et opprobrium populi,
3therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the rest of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;
4propterea, montes Israël, audite verbum Domini Dei. Hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus, torrentibus, vallibusque et desertis, parietinis et urbibus derelictis, quæ depopulatæ sunt et subsannatæ a reliquis gentibus per circuitum.
4therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about;
5Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis gentibus, et de Idumæa universa, quæ dederunt terram meam sibi in hæreditatem cum gaudio, et toto corde et ex animo, et ejecerunt eam ut vastarent:
5therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Surely in the fire of My jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed My land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with disdain of soul, to cast it out for a prey;
6idcirco vaticinare super humum Israël, et dices montibus et collibus, jugis et vallibus: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego in zelo meo et in furore meo locutus sum, eo quod confusionem gentium sustinueritis.
6therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because ye have borne the shame of the nations;
7Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ego levavi manum meam, ut gentes quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsæ confusionem suam portent.
7therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: I have lifted up My hand: Surely the nations that are round about you, they shall bear their shame.
8Vos autem, montes Israël, ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israël: prope enim est ut veniat.
8But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to My people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
9Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos: et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.
9For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown;
10Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israël: et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur.
10and I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded;
11Et replebo vos hominibus et jumentis, et multiplicabuntur, et crescent: et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, bonisque donabo majoribus quam habuistis ab initio: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
11and I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
12Et adducam super vos homines, populum meum Israël, et hæreditate possidebunt te: et eris eis in hæreditatem, et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis.
12Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance; and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of children.
13Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis: Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam:
13Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because they say unto you: Thou land art a devourer of men, and hast been a bereaver of thy nations;
14propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus.
14therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD;
15Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis: et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.]
15neither will I suffer the shame of the nations any more to be heard against thee, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to stumble any more, saith the Lord GOD.'
16Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
16Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
17[Fili hominis, domus Israël habitaverunt in humo sua, et polluerunt eam in viis suis et in studiis suis: juxta immunditiam menstruatæ facta est via eorum coram me.
17'Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings; their way before Me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
18Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.
18Wherefore I poured out My fury upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
19Et dispersi eos in gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras: juxta vias eorum et adinventiones eorum judicavi eos.
19and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries; according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20Et ingressi sunt ad gentes ad quas introierunt: et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, cum diceretur de eis: Populus Domini iste est, et de terra ejus egressi sunt.
20And when they came unto the nations, whither they came, they profaned My holy name; in that men said of them: These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of His land.
21Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israël in gentibus ad quas ingressi sunt.
21But I had pity for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they came.
22Idcirco dices domui Israël: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israël, sed propter nomen sanctum meum, quod polluistis in gentibus ad quas intrastis.
22Therefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye came.
23Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum quod pollutum est inter gentes, quod polluistis in medio earum: ut sciant gentes quia ego Dominus, ait Dominus exercituum, cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis.
23And I will sanctify My great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24Tollam quippe vos de gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.
24For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos.
25And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean; from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26Et dabo vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri: et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, et dabo vobis cor carneum.
26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
27Et spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri: et faciam ut in præceptis meis ambuletis, et judicia mea custodiatis et operemini.
27And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep Mine ordinances, and do them.
28Et habitabitis in terra quam dedi patribus vestris: et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
28And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God.
29Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris: et vocabo frumentum et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.
29And I will save you from all your uncleannesses; and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
30Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in gentibus.
30And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
31Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum: et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ et scelera vestra.
31Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus, notum sit vobis: confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israël.]
32Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you; be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33[Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et inhabitari fecero urbes, et instauravero ruinosa,
33Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.
34et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,
34And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by.
35dicent: Terra illa inculta facta est ut hortus voluptatis: et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.
35And they shall say: This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.
36Et scient gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta: ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.
36Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD have builded the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate; I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
37Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israël, ut faciam eis: multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum,
37Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
38ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Jerusalem in solemnitatibus ejus: sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum: et scient quia ego Dominus.]
38As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed seasons, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
