Hiezechielis Prophetæ 35
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir, et prophetabis de eo, et dices illi:
“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,
3 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te mons Seir, et extendam manum meam super te, et dabo te desolatum atque desertum.
and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
4 Urbes tuas demoliar, et tu desertus eris: et scies quia ego Dominus.
I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will 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 extremae:
Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,
6 Propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: quoniam sanguini tradam te, et sanguis te persequetur: et cum sanguinem oderis, sanguis persequetur te.
therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.
7 Et dabo montem Seir desolatum atque desertum: et auferam de eo euntem, et redeuntem.
I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.
8 Et implebo montes eius occisorum suorum: in collibus tuis, et in vallibus tuis, atque in torrentibus interfecti gladio cadent.
I will fill its mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.
9 In solitudines sempiternas tradam te, et civitates tuae non habitabuntur: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10 Eo quod dixeris: Duae gentes, et duae terrae meae erunt, et hereditate possidebo eas: cum Dominus esset ibi:
Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though 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 surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
12 Et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa opprobria tua, quae locutus es de montibus Israel, dicens: Deserti, nobis ad devorandum dati sunt.
Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you uttered against the mountains of Israel when you said, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to devour!’
13 Et insurrexistis super me ore vestro, et rogastis adversum me verba vestra: ego audivi.
You boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me. I heard it Myself!
14 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Laetante universa terra, in solitudinem te redigam.
This is what the Lord GOD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15 Sicuti gavisus es super hereditatem domus Israel, eo quod fuerit dissipata, sic faciam tibi: dissipatus eris mons Seir, et Idumaea omnis: et scient quia ego Dominus.
As you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, so will I do to you. You will become a desolation, O Mount Seir, and so will all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
