Hiezechielis Prophetæ 35
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir, et prophetabis de eo, et dices illi:
Son of man, set thy face against the mountain of Se'ir, and prophecy against it,
3 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te mons Seir, et extendam manum meam super te, et dabo te desolatum atque desertum.
And say unto it, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O mountain of Se'ir, and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will render thee desolate and wasted.
4 Urbes tuas demoliar, et tu desertus eris: et scies quia ego Dominus.
Thy cities will I lay in ruins, and thou thyself shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5 Eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus, et concluseris filios Israel in manus gladii in tempore afflictionis eorum, in tempore iniquitatis extremæ:
Because thou hast had an undying hatred, and didst surrender the children of Israel to the power of the sword, at the time of their calamity, at the time of the iniquity of the end:
6 Propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: quoniam sanguini tradam te, et sanguis te persequetur: et cum sanguinem oderis, sanguis persequetur te.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I will surely let thy blood flow, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou didst not hate blood-shedding, so shall blood pursue thee.
7 Et dabo montem Seir desolatum atque desertum: et auferam de eo euntem, et redeuntem.
Thus will I change the mountain of Se'ir into a desolate land and a waste, and I will cut off from it him that travelleth forward and backward.
8 Et implebo montes eius occisorum suorum: in collibus tuis, et in vallibus tuis, atque in torrentibus interfecti gladio cadent.
And I will fill his mountains with his slain: as regardeth thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy ravines, in them shall fall those that are slain by the sword.
9 In solitudines sempiternas tradam te, et civitates tuæ non habitabuntur: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
Into perpetual desolations will I change thee, and thy cities shall not be restored: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
10 Eo quod dixeris: Duæ gentes, et duæ terræ meæ erunt, et hereditate possidebo eas: cum Dominus esset ibi:
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall indeed be mine, and we will take possession thereof; whereas the Lord was there:
11 Propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia faciam iuxta iram tuam, et secundum zelum tuum, quem fecisti odio habens eos: et notus efficiar per eos cum te iudicavero.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou didst use out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I judge thee.
12 Et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa opprobria tua, quæ locutus es de montibus Israel, dicens: Deserti, nobis ad devorandum dati sunt.
And thou shalt know that I am the Lord: I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given unto us to consume them.
13 Et insurrexistis super me ore vestro, et derogastis adversum me verba vestra: ego audivi.
And ye boasted greatly against me with your mouth, and have multiplied against me your words: I have indeed heard them.
14 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Lætante universa terra, in solitudinem te redigam.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15 Sicuti gavisus es super hereditatem domus Israel, eo quod fuerit dissipata, sic faciam tibi: dissipatus eris mons Seir, et Idumæa omnis: et scient quia ego Dominus.
As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was made desolate: so will I do unto thee; desolate shalt thou be, O mountain of Se'ir, and all Idumea—altogether; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
