< Ezekiel 35 >

1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃
2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,
בֶּן־אָדָם שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ עַל־הַר שֵׂעִיר וְהִנָּבֵא עָלָֽיו׃
3 and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
וְאָמַרְתָּ לּוֹ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי אֵלֶיךָ הַר־שֵׂעִיר וְנָטִיתִי יָדִי עָלֶיךָ וּנְתַתִּיךָ שְׁמָמָה וּמְשַׁמָּֽה׃
4 I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
עָרֶיךָ חָרְבָּה אָשִׂים וְאַתָּה שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
5 Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,
יַעַן הֱיוֹת לְךָ אֵיבַת עוֹלָם וַתַּגֵּר אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יְדֵי־חָרֶב בְּעֵת אֵידָם בְּעֵת עֲוֺן קֵֽץ׃
6 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.
לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּֽי־לְדָם אֶעֶשְׂךָ וְדָם יִרְדֲּפֶךָ אִם־לֹא דָם שָׂנֵאתָ וְדָם יִרְדֲּפֶֽךָ׃
7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.
וְנָֽתַתִּי אֶת־הַר שֵׂעִיר לְשִֽׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ עֹבֵר וָשָֽׁב׃
8 I will fill its mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.
וּמִלֵּאתִי אֶת־הָרָיו חֲלָלָיו גִּבְעוֹתֶיךָ וְגֵאוֹתֶיךָ וְכָל־אֲפִיקֶיךָ חַלְלֵי־חֶרֶב יִפְּלוּ בָהֶֽם׃
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
שִֽׁמְמוֹת עוֹלָם אֶתֶּנְךָ וְעָרֶיךָ לֹא תישבנה תָשֹׁבְנָה וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
10 Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though the LORD was there,
יַעַן אֲמָרְךָ אֶת־שְׁנֵי הַגּוֹיִם וְאֶת־שְׁתֵּי הָאֲרָצוֹת לִי תִהְיֶינָה וִֽירַשְׁנוּהָ וַֽיהוָה שָׁם הָיָֽה׃
11 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְעָשִׂיתִי כְּאַפְּךָ וּכְקִנְאָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָה מִשִּׂנְאָתֶיךָ בָּם וְנוֹדַעְתִּי בָם כַּאֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁפְּטֶֽךָ׃
12 Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you uttered against the mountains of Israel when you said, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to devour!’
וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָה שָׁמַעְתִּי ׀ אֶת־כָּל־נָאָֽצוֹתֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתָּ עַל־הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר ׀ שממה שָׁמֵמוּ לָנוּ נִתְּנוּ לְאָכְלָֽה׃
13 You boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me. I heard it Myself!
וַתַּגְדִּילוּ עָלַי בְּפִיכֶם וְהַעְתַּרְתֶּם עָלַי דִּבְרֵיכֶם אֲנִי שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃
14 This is what the Lord GOD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּשְׂמֹחַ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ שְׁמָמָה אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃
15 As you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, so will I do to you. You will become a desolation, O Mount Seir, and so will all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
כְּשִׂמְחָתְךָ לְנַחְלַת בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁמֵמָה כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּךְ שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה הַר־שֵׂעִיר וְכָל־אֱדוֹם כֻּלָּהּ וְיָדְעוּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
