יחזקאל 35

1 וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃

Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

2 בֶּן־אָדָם שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ עַל־הַר שֵׂעִיר וְהִנָּבֵא עָלָֽיו׃

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

3 וְאָמַרְתָּ לּוֹ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי אֵלֶיךָ הַר־שֵׂעִיר וְנָטִיתִי יָדִי עָלֶיךָ וּנְתַתִּיךָ שְׁמָמָה וּמְשַׁמָּֽה׃

and tell it, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Look, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

4 עָרֶיךָ חָרְבָּה אָשִׂים וְאַתָּה שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃

I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

5 יַעַן הֱיוֹת לְךָ אֵיבַת עוֹלָם וַתַּגֵּר אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יְדֵי־חָרֶב בְּעֵת אֵידָם בְּעֵת עֲוֺן קֵֽץ׃

"'"Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;

6 לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּֽי־לְדָם אֶעֶשְׂךָ וְדָם יִרְדֲּפֶךָ אִם־לֹא דָם שָׂנֵאתָ וְדָם יִרְדֲּפֶֽךָ׃

therefore, as I live," says Jehovah, "I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7 וְנָֽתַתִּי אֶת־הַר שֵׂעִיר לְשִֽׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ עֹבֵר וָשָֽׁב׃

Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

8 וּמִלֵּאתִי אֶת־הָרָיו חֲלָלָיו גִּבְעוֹתֶיךָ וְגֵאוֹתֶיךָ וְכָל־אֲפִיקֶיךָ חַלְלֵי־חֶרֶב יִפְּלוּ בָהֶֽם׃

I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are slain with the sword.

9 שִֽׁמְמוֹת עוֹלָם אֶתֶּנְךָ וְעָרֶיךָ לֹא תישבנה תָשֹׁבְנָה וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃

I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

10 יַעַן אֲמָרְךָ אֶת־שְׁנֵי הַגּוֹיִם וְאֶת־שְׁתֵּי הָאֲרָצוֹת לִי תִהְיֶינָה וִֽירַשְׁנוּהָ וַֽיהוָה שָׁם הָיָֽה׃

"'"Because you have said, 'These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it'; whereas Jehovah was there:

11 לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְעָשִׂיתִי כְּאַפְּךָ וּכְקִנְאָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָה מִשִּׂנְאָתֶיךָ בָּם וְנוֹדַעְתִּי בָם כַּאֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁפְּטֶֽךָ׃

therefore, as I live," says Jehovah, "I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge you.

12 וְֽיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָה שָׁמַעְתִּי ׀ אֶת־כָּל־נָאָֽצוֹתֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתָּ עַל־הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר ׀ שממה שָׁמֵמוּ לָנוּ נִתְּנוּ לְאָכְלָֽה׃

You shall know that I, Jehovah, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they have been given us to devour.

13 וַתַּגְדִּילוּ עָלַי בְּפִיכֶם וְהַעְתַּרְתֶּם עָלַי דִּבְרֵיכֶם אֲנִי שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it."

14 כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּשְׂמֹחַ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ שְׁמָמָה אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃

Thus says Jehovah: "When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 כְּשִׂמְחָתְךָ לְנַחְלַת בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁמֵמָה כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּךְ שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה הַר־שֵׂעִיר וְכָל־אֱדוֹם כֻּלָּהּ וְיָדְעוּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃

As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."'"
