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 you shall prophesy about it, and you shall say to it:

3 haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te mons Seir et extendam manum meam super te et dabo te desolatum atque desertum

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, mount Seir, and I will extend my hand over you, and I will make you desolate and deserted.

4 urbes tuas demoliar et tu desertus eris et scies quia ego Dominus

I will tear down your cities, and you will be deserted. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

5 eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus et concluseris filios Israhel in manus gladii in tempore adflictionis eorum in tempore iniquitatis extremae

For you have been a continual adversary, and you have enclosed the sons of Israel, by the hands of the sword, in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.

6 propterea vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quoniam sanguini tradam te et sanguis te persequetur et cum sanguinem oderis sanguis persequetur te

Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.

7 et dabo montem Seir desolatum et desertum et auferam de eo euntem et redeuntem

And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one 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 up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.

9 in solitudines sempiternas tradam te et civitates tuae non habitabuntur et scietis quoniam ego Dominus

I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.

10 eo quod dixeris duae gentes et duae terrae meae erunt et hereditate possidebo eas cum Dominus esset ibi

For you have said, ‘Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,’ though the Lord was in that place.

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

Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.

12 et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa obprobria tua quae locutus es de montibus Israhel dicens deserti nobis dati sunt ad devorandum

And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: ‘They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.’

13 et insurrexistis super me ore vestro et rogastis adversum me verba vestra ego audivi

And you rose up against me with your mouth, and you disparaged against me with your words. I have heard.

14 haec dicit Dominus Deus laetante universa terra in solitudinem te redigam

Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth will rejoice, I will reduce you to solitude.

15 sicuti gavisus es super hereditatem domus Israhel eo quod fuerit dissipata sic faciam tibi dissipatus eris mons Seir et Idumea omnis et scient quia ego Dominus

Just as you have rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, when it was laid waste, so will I act toward you. You will be laid waste, O mount Seir, with all of Idumea. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
