Hiezechielis Prophetæ 25

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

[Some time later, ] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra filios Ammon, et prophetabis de eis.

“You human, turn toward where the Ammon people- [lives], and prophesy [what will happen to] them.

3 Et dices filiis Ammon: Audite verbum Domini Dei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dixisti: Euge, euge super sanctuarium meum, quia pollutum est: et super terram Israel, quoniam desolata est: et super domum Iuda, quoniam ducti sunt in captivitatem:

Say about them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You shouted joyfully when my [in Jerusalem] was destroyed, and when the country/land of Israel was ruined, and when the people of Judah were (exiled/forced to go) [to Babylonia].

4 Idcirco ego tradam te filiis orientalibus in hereditatem, et collocabunt caulas suas in te, et ponent in te tentoria sua: ipsi comedent fruges tuas: et ipsi bibent lac tuum.

Therefore, I am going to allow you to be conquered by people [who will come] from the east. They will set up their tents in your country and live there. And they will eat the fruit from [fruit trees] and drink the [from your cattle].

5 Daboque Rabbath in habitaculum camelorum, et filios Ammon in cubile pecorum: et scietis quia ego Dominus.

I will [your capital city] Rabbah to become a pasture for camels, and the rest of Ammon to [only] a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

6 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod plausisti manu, et percussisti pede, et gavisa es ex toto affectu super terram Israel:

This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “You clapped your [joyfully] and stomped your feet, and laughed because you despised [the people in] the land of Israel.

7 idcirco ecce ego extendam manum meam super te, et tradam te in direptionem Gentium, et interficiam te de populis, et perdam de terris, et conteram: et scies quia ego Dominus.

Therefore, I will use my power [MTY] against you, and I will enable [other] nations [conquer you and] take away your valuable possessions. I will destroy you completely [DOU], with the result that you no longer will be a nation. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”

8 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dixerunt Moab, et Seir: Ecce sicut omnes Gentes, domus Iuda:

This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[The people of] [south of Ammon] and [the people of] [south of Moab despised Israel and] said, ‘The people [MTY] of Israel have [as unimportant] as all the other nations!’

9 idcirco ecce ego aperiam humerum Moab de civitatibus, de civitatibus, inquam, eius, et de finibus eius inclytas terræ Bethiesimoth, et Beelmeon, et Cariathaim,

Therefore, I will destroy the cities that protect the borders of Moab, starting at Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim, the finest cities in Moab.

10 filiis Orientis cum filiis Ammon, et dabo eam in hereditatem: ut non sit ultra memoria filiorum Ammon in Gentibus.

I will enable people from the east to conquer Moab and also to conquer Ammon. As a result, [I will cause that] Ammon will no longer be remembered by other nations.

11 Et in Moab faciam iudicia: et scient quia ego Dominus.

I will also punish [the people of] Moab. When that happens, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

12 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod fecit Idumæa ultionem ut se vindicaret de filiis Iuda, peccavitque delinquens, et vindictam expetivit de eis;

This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[You people of] Edom are guilty of getting revenge on the people [MTY] of Judah.

13 idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Extendam manum meam super Idumæam, et auferam de ea hominem, et iumentum, et faciam eam desertam ab Austro: et qui sunt in Dedan, gladio cadent.

Therefore this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will use my power against [the people of] Edom and will get rid of their men and their animals. I will ruin the land from Teman [region in central Edom] to Dedan [region in the south of Edom], and many of their men will be killed [their enemies] swords.'

14 Et dabo ultionem meam super Idumæam per manum populi mei Israel: et facient in Edom iuxta iram meam, et furorem meum: et scient vindictam meam, dicit Dominus Deus.

The Israeli people will use their power [MTY] to get revenge on [the people of] Edom. They will show [the people of] Edom that I have been angry with them, and I will punish [MTY] them. The people of Edom will experience my getting revenge on them. Then they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

15 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod fecerunt Palæstini vindictam, et ulti se sunt toto animo, interficientes, et implentes inimicitias veteres:

This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “The Philistia people-group wanted very much to get revenge [on the people of Judah]. They very maliciously wanted to destroy [Judah].

16 propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego extendam manum meam super Palæstinos, et interficiam interfectores, et perdam reliquias maritimæ regionis:

Therefore this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I am about to use my power [MTY] against the Philistia people. I will get rid of the Kereth people-group and all [those who live along] the coast of the [Mediterranean] Sea.

17 faciamque in eis ultiones magnas arguens in furore: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero vindictam meam super eos.

By the way I punish them, I will get great revenge on them and show that I am angry with them. And when I get revenge on them, they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
