Ezekiel 35

1 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And the word of the Lord was maad to me,

2 Son of man, let your face be turned to Mount Seir, and be a prophet against it,

and he seide, Thou, sone of man, sette thi face ayens the hil of Seir; and thou schalt profesie to it, and thou schalt seie to it,

3 And say to it, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Mount Seir, and my hand will be stretched out against you, and I will make you a waste and a cause for wonder.

The Lord God seith these thingis, Thou hil of Seir, lo! Y to thee; Y schal stretche forth myn hond on thee, and Y schal yyue thee desolat and forsakun.

4 I will make your towns unpeopled and you will be a waste; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

Y schal distrie thi citees, and thou schalt be forsakun; and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord.

5 Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end:

For thou were an enemye euerlastynge, and closidist togidere the sonis of Israel in to the hondis of swerd, in the tyme of her turment, in the tyme of the laste wickidnesse;

6 For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

therfor Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for Y schal yyue thee to blood, and blood schal pursue thee; and sithen thou hatidist blood, blood schal pursue thee.

7 And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.

And Y schal yyue the hil of Seir desolat and forsakun, and Y schal take awei fro it a goere and a comere ayen;

8 I will make his mountains full of those who have been put to death; in your valleys and in all your water-streams men will be falling by the sword.

and Y schal fille the hillis therof with the careyns of her slayn men. Men slayn by swerd schulen falle doun in thi litle hillis, and in thi valeys, and in thi strondis.

9 I will make you waste for ever, and your towns will be unpeopled: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

Y schal yyue thee in to euerlastynge wildirnessis, and thi citees schulen not be enhabitid; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God.

10 Because you have said, The two nations and the two countries are to be mine, and we will take them for our heritage; though the Lord was there:

For thou seidist, Twei folkis and twei londis schulen be myne, and Y schal welde tho bi eritage, whanne the Lord was there;

11 For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, I will do to you as you have done in your wrath and in your envy, which you have made clear in your hate for them; and I will make clear to you who I am when you are judged by me.

therfor Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for Y schal do bi thi wraththe, and bi thin enuye, which thou didist, hatinge hem, and Y schal be made knowun bi hem, whanne Y schal deme thee;

12 And you will see that I the Lord have had knowledge of all the bitter things which you have said against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have been made waste, they are given to us to take for our heritage.

and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord. Y herde alle thi schenschipis, whiche thou spakist of the hillis of Israel, and seidist, The hillis of Israel ben forsakun, and ben youun to vs, for to deuoure.

13 And you have made yourselves great against me with your mouths, increasing your words against me; and it has come to my ears.

And ye han rise on me with youre mouth, and ye han deprauyd ayens me; Y herde youre wordis.

14 This is what the Lord has said: Because you were glad over my land when it was a waste, so will I do to you:

The Lord God seith these thingis, While al the lond is glad, Y schal turne thee in to wildernesse.

15 You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

As thou haddist ioie on the eritage of the hous of Israel, for it was distried, so Y schal do to thee; the hil of Seir schal be distried, and al Ydumee; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
