Ezekiel 35

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

١ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:

٢ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ،

3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.

٣ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ، وَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ خَرَابًا مُقْفِرًا.

4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

٤ أَجْعَلُ مُدُنَكَ خَرِبَةً، وَتَكُونُ أَنْتَ مُقْفِرًا، وَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].

٥ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَتْ لَكَ بُغْضَةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ، وَدَفَعْتَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى يَدِ ٱلسَّيْفِ فِي وَقْتِ مُصِيبَتِهِمْ، وَقْتِ إِثْمِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ.

6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;

٦ لِذَلِكَ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنِّي أُهَيِّئُكَ لِلدَّمِ، وَٱلدَّمُ يَتْبَعُكَ. إِذْ لَمْ تَكْرَهِ ٱلدَّمَ فَٱلدَّمُ يَتْبَعُكَ.

7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.

٧ فَأَجْعَلُ جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ خَرَابًا وَمُقْفِرًا، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْهُ ٱلذَّاهِبَ وَٱلْآئِبَ.

8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.

٨ وَأَمْلَأُ جِبَالَهُ مِنْ قَتْلَاهُ. تِلَالُكَ وَأَوْدِيَتُكَ وَجَمِيعُ أَنْهَارِكَ يَسْقُطُونَ فِيهَا قَتْلَى بِٱلسَّيْفِ.

9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

٩ وَأُصَيِّرُكَ خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً، وَمُدُنُكَ لَنْ تَعُودَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].

١٠ لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَّتَيْنِ، وَهَاتَيْنِ ٱلْأَرْضَيْنِ تَكُونَانِ لِي فَنَمْتَلِكُهُمَا وَٱلرَّبُّ كَانَ هُنَاكَ،

11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.

١١ فَلِذَلِكَ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَفْعَلَنَّ كَغَضَبِكَ وَكَحَسَدِكَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ عَامَلْتَ بِهِمَا مِنْ بُغْضَتِكَ لَهُمْ، وَأُعَرِّفُ بِنَفْسِي بَيْنَهُمْ عِنْدَمَا أَحْكُمُ عَلَيْكَ،

12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].

١٢ فَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كُلَّ إِهَانَتِكَ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهَا عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. قَدْ أُعْطِينَاهَا مَأْكَلًا.

13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.

١٣ قَدْ تَعَظَّمْتُمْ عَلَيَّ بِأَفْوَاهِكُمْ وَكَثَّرْتُمْ كَلَامَكُمْ عَلَيَّ. أَنَا سَمِعْتُ.

14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.

١٤ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: عِنْدَ فَرَحِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَجْعَلُكَ مُقْفِرًا.

15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”

١٥ كَمَا فَرِحْتَ عَلَى مِيرَاثِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ خَرِبَ، كَذَلِكَ أَفْعَلُ بِكَ. تَكُونُ خَرَابًا يَا جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ أَدُومَ بِأَجْمَعِهَا، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.
