Hiezechielis Prophetæ 25
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra filios Ammon, et prophetabis de eis.
“Son of man, set your face against the people of Ammon and prophesy against them.
3 Et dices filiis Ammon: Audite verbum Domini Dei: Haec 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 to the people of Ammon, 'Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh. This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because you said, “Aha!” over my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile,
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, behold, I am giving you to a people in the east as their possession. They will set up camp against you and set up their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk.
5 Daboque Rabbath in habitaculum camelorum, et filios Ammon in cubile pecorum: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the people of Ammon a field for flocks. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
6 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod plausisti manu, et percussisti pede, et gavisa es ex toto affectu super terram Israel:
For the Lord Yahweh says this: You have clapped your hands and stamped your feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt within you against 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, behold! I will strike you with my hand and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from among the countries! I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'
8 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dixerunt Moab, et Seir: Ecce sicut omnes Gentes, domus Iuda:
The Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because Moab and Seir say, “Behold! The house of Judah is like every other nation.”
9 idcirco ecce ego aperiam humerum Moab de civitatibus, de civitatibus, inquam, eius, et de finibus eius inclytas terrae Bethiesimoth, et Beelmeon, et Cariathaim,
Therefore, behold! I will open the slopes of Moab, starting at his cities on the border—the splendor of Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim—
10 filios Orientis cum filiis Ammon, et dabo eam in hereditatem: ut non sit ultra memoria filiorum Ammon in Gentibus.
to the people of the east who have been against the people of Ammon. I will give them up as a possession so that the people of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.
11 Et in Moab faciam iudicia: et scient quia ego Dominus.
So I will perform judgments against Moab, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'
12 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod fecit Idumaea ultionem ut se vindicaret de filiis Iuda, peccavitque delinquens, et vindictam expetivit de eis;
The Lord Yahweh says this, 'Edom has taken vengeance against the house of Judah and has committed wrong in doing so.
13 idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Extendam manum meam super Idumaeam, et auferam de ea hominem, et iumentum, et faciam eam desertam ab Austro: et qui sunt in Dedan, gladio cadent.
Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: I will strike Edom with my hand and destroy every person and animal there. I will make them a ruined, abandoned place, from Teman to Dedan. They will fall by the sword.
14 Et dabo ultionem meam super Idumaeam per manum populi mei Israel: et facient in Edom iuxta iram meam, et furorem meum: et scient vindictam meam, dicit Dominus Deus.
I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will do to Edom according to my anger and my fury, and they will know my vengeance—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'
15 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod fecerunt Palaestini vindictam, et ulti se sunt toto animo, interficientes, et implentes inimicitias veteres:
The Lord Yahweh says this, 'The Philistines have taken vengeance with malice and from within themselves they tried to destroy Judah again and again.
16 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego extendam manum meam super Palaestinos, et interficiam interfectores, et perdam reliquias maritimae regionis:
So this is what the Lord Yahweh says: Behold! I will reach out with my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethites and destroy the remnant who are along the seacoast.
17 faciamque in eis ultiones magnas arguens in furore: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero vindictam meam super eos.
For I will take great vengeance against them with furious acts of punishment, so they will know that I am Yahweh, when I take my vengeance on them.'”
