< Ezekiel 35 >

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃
2 'Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
בֶּן־אָדָם שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ עַל־הַר שֵׂעִיר וְהִנָּבֵא עָלָֽיו׃
3 and say unto it: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
וְאָמַרְתָּ לּוֹ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי אֵלֶיךָ הַר־שֵׂעִיר וְנָטִיתִי יָדִי עָלֶיךָ וּנְתַתִּיךָ שְׁמָמָה וּמְשַׁמָּֽה׃
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
עָרֶיךָ חָרְבָּה אָשִׂים וְאַתָּה שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
5 Because thou hast had a hatred of old, and hast hurled the children of Israel unto the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
יַעַן הֱיוֹת לְךָ אֵיבַת עוֹלָם וַתַּגֵּר אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יְדֵי־חָרֶב בְּעֵת אֵידָם בְּעֵת עֲוֺן קֵֽץ׃
6 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; surely thou hast hated thine own blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.
לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּֽי־לְדָם אֶעֶשְׂךָ וְדָם יִרְדֲּפֶךָ אִם־לֹא דָם שָׂנֵאתָ וְדָם יִרְדֲּפֶֽךָ׃
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth.
וְנָֽתַתִּי אֶת־הַר שֵׂעִיר לְשִֽׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ עֹבֵר וָשָֽׁב׃
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain; in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy streams shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
וּמִלֵּאתִי אֶת־הָרָיו חֲלָלָיו גִּבְעוֹתֶיךָ וְגֵאוֹתֶיךָ וְכָל־אֲפִיקֶיךָ חַלְלֵי־חֶרֶב יִפְּלוּ בָהֶֽם׃
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
שִֽׁמְמוֹת עוֹלָם אֶתֶּנְךָ וְעָרֶיךָ לֹא תישבנה תָשֹׁבְנָה וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
10 Because thou hast said: These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there;
יַעַן אֲמָרְךָ אֶת־שְׁנֵי הַגּוֹיִם וְאֶת־שְׁתֵּי הָאֲרָצוֹת לִי תִהְיֶינָה וִֽירַשְׁנוּהָ וַֽיהוָה שָׁם הָיָֽה׃
11 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְעָשִׂיתִי כְּאַפְּךָ וּכְקִנְאָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָה מִשִּׂנְאָתֶיךָ בָּם וְנוֹדַעְתִּי בָם כַּאֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁפְּטֶֽךָ׃
12 And thou shalt know that I the LORD have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying: They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָה שָׁמַעְתִּי ׀ אֶת־כָּל־נָאָֽצוֹתֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתָּ עַל־הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר ׀ שממה שָׁמֵמוּ לָנוּ נִתְּנוּ לְאָכְלָֽה׃
13 And ye have magnified yourselves against Me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heard it.
וַתַּגְדִּילוּ עָלַי בְּפִיכֶם וְהַעְתַּרְתֶּם עָלַי דִּבְרֵיכֶם אֲנִי שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃
14 Thus saith the Lord GOD: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּשְׂמֹחַ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ שְׁמָמָה אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃
15 As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee; thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall 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׃
