Hezekiel 35

1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Ame vi, trɔ mo ɖe Seir to la gbɔ, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe eŋu,

Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 eye nàgblɔ be nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Metso ɖe ŋuwò, Seir to la, mado nye asi ɖa ɖe ŋuwò, eye matsɔ wò awɔ aƒedo kple gbegbee.

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.

4 Matrɔ wò duwo woazu aƒedo, eye wò ŋutɔ àzu gbegbe. Ekema ànya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’

And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

5 “‘Esi nèlé fu nye dukɔ Israelviwo ɖikaɖika tso blema ke, eye nètsɔ wo de asi na yi le esime woƒe tohehe ɖo kɔkɔƒe la,

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:

6 eya ta meta ɖokuinye ƒe agbe, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe, be matsɔ wò ade asi na ʋukɔkɔɖi, eye wòanɔ wò yome. Esi mèlé fu ʋukɔkɔɖi o ta la, ʋukɔkɔɖi akplɔ wò ɖo.

Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7 Mawɔ Seir to la aƒedo kple gbegbe, eye maɖe ame siwo vana, gadzona ɖa le wo dzi.

And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:

8 Mana ame kukuwo nayɔ toawo dzi, ame siwo tsi yi nu la nayɔ wò togbɛwo dzi, wò baliwo me kple wò gbadzaƒewo katã.

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.

9 Matsɔ wò awɔ gbegbee ɖika, eye amewo maganɔ wò duwo me o. Ekema ànya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’

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.

10 “Elabena ègblɔ be, ‘Dukɔ eve kple anyigba eve siawo anye mía tɔwo, eye míaxɔ wo’ togbɔ be nye, Yehowa, menɔ afi ma hã.

Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:

11 Eya ta Aƒetɔ Yehowa ta eƒe agbe be, ‘Mawɔ na mi ɖe dziku kple ŋuʋaʋã si mieɖe fia le miaƒe fuléle wo me nu, eye mana woanyam ne medrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo.

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:

12 Ekema mianya be, nye Yehowa mese vlodoamenya siwo katã miegblɔ tso Israel ƒe towo kple togbɛwo ŋuti. Miegblɔ be, “Wozu gbegbe, eye wotsɔ wo na mí be míaɖu.”

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;

13 Mieƒo adegbe, tsi tsitre ɖe ŋunye, miegblɔ nya vɔ̃wo bababa ɖe ŋunye, eye mese wo.

and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard [them].

14 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Esime xexea me katã le aseye tsom la, mana nàzu gbegbe.

Thus says the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.

15 Esi miekpɔ dzidzɔ esime Israel ƒe aƒe ƒe domenyinu zu gbegbe ta la, nu si mawɔ wòe nye àzu gbegbe, O! Seir to, wò kple Edom blibo la. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.”’”

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.
