Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia XIV

Origen of Alexandria · c. 240–245 · Baehrens, Origenes Werke VIII = GCS 33 (1925) · Original English Translation

The closed gate — the Lord passes through§1

1This gate shall remain shut; no one shall enter by it, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered by it. Ezekiel maps many temple gates for those who have ears.

Latin · §1

Porta haec clausa erit, non aperietur, et nemo per eam transibit, quia Dominus Deus Israel transibit per eam et erit clausa. Filius hominis Ezechiel portas templi describit.

Hear the allegory; glory Amen — SERIES§2

2Again for those who have ears to hear: the Lord’s passing seals the gate — a mystery kept for the church. Glory to Christ Jesus forever. Amen.

Latin · §2

Rursus exponit his qui habent aures ad audiendum de porta. Mysterium Domini transeuntis — ecclesiae custodia. Gloria Christo Iesu in saecula. Amen.
