Hiezechielis Prophetæ 35

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

And 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 say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and will make you a waste, and you shall be made desolate.

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

And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall 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 have been a perpetual enemy, and have laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:

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 God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

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

And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:

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

and I will fill your hills and your valleys with slain men, and in all your plains there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.

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 shall not be inhabited any more: and you shall 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 said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is 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, I will even deal with you according to your enmity, and I will be made known to you when I shall 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.

and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies, whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;

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

and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard [them].

14 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Laetante universa terra, in solitudinem te redigam.

Thus says the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.

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.

You shall be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.
