Hiezechielis Prophetæ 35

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

Moreover the word of Jehovah came to 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 mount Seir, and prophesy 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 to it, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.

4 Urbes tuas demoliar, et tu desertus eris: et scies quia ego Dominus.

I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shall be desolate. And thou shall know that I am Jehovah.

5 Eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus, et concluseris filios Israel in manus gladii in tempore afflictionis eorum, in tempore iniquitatis extremæ:

Because thou have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in 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, says the lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee to blood, and blood shall pursue thee. Since thou have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.

7 Et dabo montem Seir desolatum atque desertum: et auferam de eo euntem, et redeuntem.

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

8 Et implebo montes eius occisorum suorum: in collibus tuis, et in vallibus tuis, atque in torrentibus interfecti gladio cadent.

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

9 In solitudines sempiternas tradam te, et civitates tuæ non habitabuntur: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.

I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

10 Eo quod dixeris: Duæ gentes, et duæ terræ meæ erunt, et hereditate possidebo eas: cum Dominus esset ibi:

Because thou have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah 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, says the lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou have shown out of thy hatred against them. And I will make myself known among them when I shall 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 shall know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate. They are given us to devour.

13 Et insurrexistis super me ore vestro, et derogastis adversum me verba vestra: ego audivi.

And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.

14 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Lætante universa terra, in solitudinem te redigam.

Thus says the lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoices, 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 rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will do to thee. Thou shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
