< Jezekiel 35 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה 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 say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and will make you a waste, and you shall be made desolate.
וְאָמַרְתָּ לּוֹ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה הִנְנִי אֵלֶיךָ הַר־שֵׂעִיר וְנָטִיתִי יָדִי עָלֶיךָ וּנְתַתִּיךָ שְׁמָמָה וּמְשַׁמָּֽה׃
4 And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
עָרֶיךָ חׇרְבָּה אָשִׂים וְאַתָּה שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃
5 Because you have been a perpetual enemy, and have laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:
יַעַן הֱיוֹת לְךָ אֵיבַת עוֹלָם וַתַּגֵּר אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יְדֵי־חָרֶב בְּעֵת אֵידָם בְּעֵת עֲוֺן קֵֽץ׃
6 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה כִּֽי־לְדָם אֶעֶשְׂךָ וְדָם יִרְדְּפֶךָ אִם־לֹא דָם שָׂנֵאתָ וְדָם יִרְדְּפֶֽךָ׃
7 And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:
וְנָֽתַתִּי אֶת־הַר שֵׂעִיר לְשִֽׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ עֹבֵר וָשָֽׁב׃
8 and I will fill your hills and your valleys with slain men, and in all your plains there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.
וּמִלֵּאתִי אֶת־הָרָיו חֲלָלָיו גִּבְעוֹתֶיךָ וְגֵיאוֹתֶיךָ וְכׇל־אֲפִיקֶיךָ חַלְלֵי־חֶרֶב יִפְּלוּ בָהֶֽם׃
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited any more: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
שִֽׁמְמוֹת עוֹלָם אֶתֶּנְךָ וְעָרֶיךָ לֹא (תישבנה) [תָשֹׁבְנָה] וִידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃
10 Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:
יַעַן אֲמׇרְךָ אֶת־שְׁנֵי הַגּוֹיִם וְאֶת־שְׁתֵּי הָאֲרָצוֹת לִי תִהְיֶינָה וִֽירַשְׁנוּהָ וַיהֹוָה שָׁם הָיָֽה׃
11 therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord, I will even deal with you according to your enmity, and I will be made known to you when I shall judge you:
לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְעָשִׂיתִי כְּאַפְּךָ וּכְקִנְאָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָה מִשִּׂנְאָתֶיךָ בָּם וְנוֹדַעְתִּי בָם כַּאֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁפְּטֶֽךָ׃
12 and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies, whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;
וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה שָׁמַעְתִּי ׀ אֶת־כׇּל־נָאָֽצוֹתֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתָּ עַל־הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר ׀ [שָׁמֵמוּ] (שממה) לָנוּ נִתְּנוּ לְאׇכְלָֽה׃
13 and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard [them].
וַתַּגְדִּילוּ עָלַי בְּפִיכֶם וְהַעְתַּרְתֶּם עָלַי דִּבְרֵיכֶם אֲנִי שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃
14 Thus says the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.
כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה כִּשְׂמֹחַ כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ שְׁמָמָה אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃
15 You shall be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.
כְּשִׂמְחָתְךָ לְנַחֲלַת בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁמֵמָה כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּךְ שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה הַר־שֵׂעִיר וְכׇל־אֱדוֹם כֻּלָּהּ וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃
