Ezekiel 36
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
36 And thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord:
2 Thus saith the Lord God: Because the enemy hath said of you: Aha, the everlasting heights are given to us for an inheritance.
3 Therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Because you have been desolate, and trodden under foot on every side, and made an inheritance to the rest of the nations, and are become the subject of the talk, and the reproach of the people:
4 Therefore, 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 brooks, and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken, that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the nations round about.
5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste.
6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and in my indignation, because you have borne the shame of the Gentiles.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are round about you, shall themselves bear their shame.
8 But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at hand to come.
9 For lo I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown.
10 And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be repaired.
11 And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
12 And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them.
13 Thus saith the Lord God: Because they say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:
14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, nor destroy thy nation any more, saith the Lord God:
15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God.
16 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.
18 And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.
19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices.
20 And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land.
21 And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in.
22 Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
26 And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
31 And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.
32 It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places,
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by,
35 They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced.
36 And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.
37 Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,
38 As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Il ristabilimento d’Israele
36 (A)«Tu, figlio d’uomo, profetizza ai monti d’Israele e di’: O monti d’Israele, ascoltate la parola del Signore!
2 Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Poiché il nemico ha detto di voi: ‘Ah! ah! queste alture eterne sono diventate nostro possesso!’”, tu profetizza e di’:
3 Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Sì, poiché da tutte le parti hanno voluto distruggervi e inghiottirvi, perché diventaste possesso del resto delle nazioni, e perché siete stati oggetto dei discorsi delle male lingue e delle maldicenze della gente,
4 o monti d’Israele, ascoltate la parola del Signore, Dio!” – così parla il Signore, Dio, ai monti e ai colli, ai burroni e alle valli, alle rovine desolate e alle città abbandonate, che sono state date in balìa del saccheggio e delle beffe delle altre nazioni circostanti –
5 così parla il Signore, Dio: “Sì, nel fuoco della mia gelosia, io parlo contro il resto delle altre nazioni e contro Edom tutto quanto, che hanno fatto del mio paese il loro possesso con tutta la gioia del cuore e il disprezzo dell’anima, per ridurlo in bottino”.
6 Perciò, profetizza sopra la terra d’Israele e di’ ai monti e ai colli, ai burroni e alle valli: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Ecco, io parlo nella mia gelosia e nel mio furore, perché voi avete portato la vergogna delle nazioni”.
7 Perciò, così parla il Signore, Dio: “Io l’ho giurato! Le nazioni che vi circondano porteranno anch’esse la propria vergogna;
8 ma voi, o monti d’Israele, metterete i vostri rami e porterete i vostri frutti al mio popolo Israele, perché egli sta per arrivare.
9 Infatti, ecco, io vengo a voi, mi volgerò verso di voi e voi sarete coltivati e seminati;
10 io moltiplicherò su di voi gli uomini, tutta quanta la casa d’Israele; le città saranno abitate e le rovine saranno ricostruite.
11 Moltiplicherò su di voi uomini e bestie; essi si moltiplicheranno e cresceranno e farò in modo che sarete abitati com’eravate prima; vi farò del bene più che nei vostri primi tempi, e voi conoscerete che io sono il Signore.
12 Io farò camminare su di voi degli uomini, il mio popolo Israele. Essi ti possederanno, o paese; tu sarai la loro eredità e non li priverai più dei loro figli”.
13 Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Poiché vi si dice: ‘Tu, o paese, hai divorato gli uomini, hai privato la tua nazione dei suoi figli’,
14 tu non divorerai più gli uomini, e non priverai più la tua nazione dei suoi figli”, dice il Signore, Dio.
15 “Io non ti farò più udire gli oltraggi delle nazioni, e tu non porterai più il disprezzo dei popoli, e non farai più cadere la tua gente”, dice il Signore, Dio».
16 (B)La parola del Signore mi fu rivolta in questi termini:
17 «Figlio d’uomo, quando quelli della casa d’Israele abitavano il loro paese, lo contaminavano con la loro condotta e con le loro azioni; la loro condotta era davanti a me come l’impurità della donna quando ha i suoi corsi. 18 Perciò io riversai su di loro il mio furore, a motivo del sangue che avevano sparso sul paese e perché lo avevano contaminato con i loro idoli: 19 Li dispersi fra le nazioni ed essi furono sparsi per tutti i paesi; io li giudicai secondo la loro condotta e secondo le loro azioni. 20 E, giunti fra le nazioni dove sono andati, hanno profanato il mio nome santo, poiché si diceva di loro: “Costoro sono il popolo del Signore e sono usciti dal suo paese”. 21 Io ho avuto pietà del mio nome santo, che la casa d’Israele profanava fra le nazioni dov’è andata.
22 (C)«Perciò, di’ alla casa d’Israele: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Io agisco così, non a causa di voi, o casa d’Israele, ma per amore del mio nome santo, che voi avete profanato fra le nazioni dove siete andati. 23 Io santificherò il mio gran nome che è stato profanato fra le nazioni, in mezzo alle quali voi lo avete profanato; e le nazioni conosceranno che io sono il Signore”, dice il Signore, Dio, “quando io mi santificherò in voi, sotto i loro occhi. 24 Io vi farò uscire dalle nazioni, vi radunerò da tutti i paesi e vi ricondurrò nel vostro paese; 25 vi aspergerò d’acqua pura e sarete puri; io vi purificherò di tutte le vostre impurità e di tutti i vostri idoli. 26 Vi darò un cuore nuovo e metterò dentro di voi uno spirito nuovo; toglierò dal vostro corpo il cuore di pietra e vi darò un cuore di carne. 27 Metterò dentro di voi il mio Spirito e farò in modo che camminiate secondo le mie leggi, e osserviate e mettiate in pratica le mie prescrizioni. 28 Abiterete nel paese che io diedi ai vostri padri, sarete il mio popolo, e io sarò il vostro Dio. 29 Io vi libererò da tutte le vostre impurità; chiamerò il frumento, lo farò abbondare e non manderò più contro di voi la fame; 30 farò moltiplicare il frutto degli alberi e il prodotto dei campi, affinché non siate più esposti alla vergogna della fame tra le nazioni. 31 Allora vi ricorderete delle vostre vie malvagie e delle vostre azioni, che non erano buone, e avrete disgusto di voi stessi a motivo delle vostre iniquità e delle vostre abominazioni. 32 Non è per amor di voi che agisco così”, dice il Signore, Dio, “siatene certi! Vergognatevi, e siate confusi a motivo delle vostre vie, o casa d’Israele!”
33 Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Il giorno che io vi purificherò di tutte le vostre iniquità, farò in modo che le città siano abitate e le rovine siano ricostruite; 34 la terra desolata sarà coltivata, invece di essere una desolazione agli occhi di tutti i passanti. 35 Si dirà: ‘Questa terra che era desolata è diventata come il giardino di Eden; e queste città che erano deserte, desolate, rovinate, sono fortificate e abitate’. 36 Le nazioni che saranno rimaste attorno a voi conosceranno che io, il Signore, ho ricostruito i luoghi distrutti e ripiantato il luogo deserto. Io, il Signore, parlo e mando la cosa ad effetto”.
37 Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Anche in questo mi lascerò supplicare dalla casa d’Israele, e glielo concederò: io moltiplicherò loro gli uomini come un gregge. 38 Come greggi di pecore consacrate, come le greggi di Gerusalemme nelle sue feste solenni, così le città deserte saranno riempite di greggi d’uomini; e si conoscerà che io sono il Signore”».

Israels återupprättelse
36 (A) Människobarn, profetera för Israels berg och säg: Ni Israels berg, hör Herrens ord. 2 (B) Så säger Herren Gud: Eftersom fienden säger om er: ’Ha ha! De urgamla offerhöjderna har nu blivit vår egendom’, 3 därför måste du profetera och säga: Så säger Herren Gud: Eftersom man har ödelagt er och från alla sidor längtar efter att få sluka er, för att ni ska tillfalla de andra folken som deras egendom, och eftersom ni hånas och förtalas av onda människor, 4 (C) därför, ni Israels berg, lyssna nu till Herren Guds ord! Så säger Herren Gud till bergen och höjderna, till bäckarna och dalarna, till de öde ruinerna och de övergivna städerna, som har lämnats till rov och hån åt de andra folken runt omkring. 5 Ja, så säger Herren Gud: Sannerligen, i brinnande lidelse har jag talat mot de andra folken och mot hela Edom. De har med glädje i hjärtat och med förakt i själen tagit mitt land i besittning för att tömma det och göra det till sitt byte.
6 Profetera därför om Israels land och säg till bergen och höjderna, till bäckarna och dalarna: Så säger Herren Gud: Se, i lidelse och i vrede har jag talat, eftersom ni hånas av folken. 7 (D) Därför säger Herren Gud så: Jag lyfter min hand och försäkrar: Sannerligen, folken runt omkring er ska själva bli förödmjukade.
8 Men ni, Israels berg, ska åter grönska och bära frukt åt mitt folk Israel, och de ska snart komma tillbaka. 9 För jag ska komma till er och jag ska vända mig till er, och ni ska brukas och besås. 10 Jag ska föra samman på er många människor, hela Israels hus. I städerna ska det på nytt bo människor och ruinerna ska byggas upp. 11 Jag ska föra samman på er mängder av människor och boskap, och de ska bli fruktsamma och föröka sig. Jag ska låta er bli bebodda, alldeles som ni förr var. Jag ska göra er ännu mer gott än tidigare. Och ni ska inse att jag är Herren. 12 Jag ska åter låta människor vandra fram över er, nämligen mitt folk Israel. De ska ha er till besittning, och ni ska vara deras arvedel, och ni ska inte mer döda deras barn.
13 Så säger Herren Gud: Eftersom man säger till dig: Du äter människor och har gjort ditt folk barnlöst, 14 därför ska du inte mer få äta människor och inte mer göra ditt folk barnlöst, säger Herren Gud. 15 Jag ska inte mer låta dig höra hån från hednafolken, och du ska inte mer behöva uthärda folkens förakt. Inte heller ska du mer få ditt folk på fall, säger Herren Gud.”
16 Herrens ord kom till mig: 17 (E) ”Människobarn, när Israels folk ännu bodde i sitt land orenade de det genom sitt levnadssätt och sina gärningar. Som en kvinnas orenhet var deras levnadssätt för mig. 18 Då öste jag min vrede över dem på grund av det blod som de spillt över landet, och för att de orenat det med sina avgudar. 19 Jag spred ut dem bland hednafolken, och de skingrades i länderna. Efter deras levnadssätt och deras gärningar dömde jag dem. 20 (F) Men vart de än kom till hednafolken vanärade de mitt heliga namn. Man sade om dem: ’Detta är Herrens folk, och ändå måste de lämna sitt land.’ 21 (G) Då ville jag skona mitt heliga namn, som Israels folk vanärade bland folken dit de kom.
22 (H) Säg därför till Israels hus: Så säger Herren Gud: Det är inte för er skull jag gör det, ni av Israels hus, utan för mitt heliga namn som ni har vanärat bland folken dit ni kommit. 23 (I) Jag vill helga mitt stora namn som blivit vanärat bland folken, därför att ni har vanärat det bland dem, och de ska inse att jag är Herren, säger Herren Gud, när jag visar mig helig bland er inför deras ögon.
24 (J) För jag ska hämta er från folken och samla er från alla länder och föra er till ert land. 25 (K) Jag ska stänka rent vatten på er[a] så att ni blir rena. Jag ska rena er från all er orenhet och från alla era avgudar. 26 (L) Jag ska ge er ett nytt hjärta och låta en ny ande komma in i er. Jag ska ta bort stenhjärtat ur er kropp och ge er ett hjärta av kött. 27 Jag ska låta min Ande komma in i er[b] och göra så att ni vandrar efter mina stadgar och håller mina lagar och följer dem.
28 (M) Så ska ni få bo i det land som jag gav era fäder, och ni ska vara mitt folk och jag ska vara er Gud. 29 (N) Jag ska frälsa er från all er orenhet. Jag ska kalla fram säden och föröka den och inte längre låta er drabbas av svält. 30 (O) Jag ska föröka trädens frukt och markens gröda, för att ni inte mer ska förödmjukas bland folken genom svält.
31 (P) Då ska ni tänka på ert onda levnadssätt och era gärningar som inte var goda, och ni ska avsky er själva på grund av era missgärningar och vidrigheter. 32 Men ni ska veta att det inte är för er skull jag gör detta, säger Herren Gud. Ni ska skämmas och blygas för vad ni har gjort, ni av Israels hus.
33 Så säger Herren Gud: När jag har renat er från alla era missgärningar, då ska jag låta städerna bli bebodda, och ruinerna ska byggas upp. 34 Det ödelagda landet ska åter bli brukat i stället för att ligga som en ödemark inför alla som går förbi. 35 (Q) Då ska man säga: Det landet som var ödelagt har nu blivit som Edens lustgård, och städerna som var ödelagda, skövlade och förstörda är nu bebodda och befästa. 36 (R) Då ska folken som är kvar runt omkring er inse att jag, Herren, åter har byggt upp det som var förstört och på nytt planterat det som var ödelagt. Jag, Herren, har talat det, och jag ska göra det.
37 Så säger Herren Gud: Också detta ska jag låta Israels hus be mig om och göra för dem: Jag ska föröka människorna som en fårhjord. 38 Som de heliga fåren, Jerusalems får vid högtiderna, så ska de hjordar av människor vara som ska fylla de ödelagda städerna. Och de ska inse att jag är Herren.”

Hope for the Mountains of Israel
36 “Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel(A) and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord. 2 This is what the Sovereign Lord says:(B) The enemy said of you, “Aha!(C) The ancient heights(D) have become our possession.(E)”’ 3 Therefore prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because they ravaged(F) and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people’s malicious talk and slander,(G) 4 therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys,(H) to the desolate ruins(I) and the deserted(J) towns that have been plundered and ridiculed(K) by the rest of the nations around you(L)— 5 this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning(M) zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’(N) 6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations.(O) 7 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand(P) that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.(Q)
8 “‘But you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit(R) for my people Israel, for they will soon come home. 9 I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown,(S) 10 and I will cause many people to live on you—yes, all of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins(T) rebuilt.(U) 11 I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful(V) and become numerous. I will settle people(W) on you as in the past(X) and will make you prosper more than before.(Y) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 I will cause people, my people Israel, to live on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance;(Z) you will never again deprive them of their children.
13 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because some say to you, “You devour people(AA) and deprive your nation of its children,” 14 therefore you will no longer devour people or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign Lord. 15 No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AB)’”
Israel’s Restoration Assured
16 Again the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman’s monthly uncleanness(AC) in my sight.(AD) 18 So I poured out(AE) my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols. 19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered(AF) through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions.(AG) 20 And wherever they went among the nations they profaned(AH) my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’(AI) 21 I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.(AJ)
22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name,(AK) which you have profaned(AL) among the nations where you have gone.(AM) 23 I will show the holiness of my great name,(AN) which has been profaned(AO) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,(AP) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy(AQ) through you before their eyes.(AR)
24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.(AS) 25 I will sprinkle(AT) clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse(AU) you from all your impurities(AV) and from all your idols.(AW) 26 I will give you a new heart(AX) and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone(AY) and give you a heart of flesh.(AZ) 27 And I will put my Spirit(BA) in you and move you to follow my decrees(BB) and be careful to keep my laws.(BC) 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people,(BD) and I will be your God.(BE) 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine(BF) upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.(BG) 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.(BH) 32 I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed(BI) and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!(BJ)
33 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I cleanse(BK) you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins(BL) will be rebuilt.(BM) 34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. 35 They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden;(BN) the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.(BO)” 36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’(BP)
37 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea(BQ) and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep,(BR) 38 as numerous as the flocks for offerings(BS) at Jerusalem during her appointed festivals. So will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(BT)”
