Hiezechielis Prophetæ 35

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

And the word of the Lord came unto 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 the mountain of Se'ir, and prophecy 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 unto it, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O mountain of Se'ir, and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will render thee desolate and wasted.

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

Thy cities will I lay in ruins, and thou thyself shalt be desolate, and thou shalt 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

Because thou hast had an undying hatred, and didst surrender the children of Israel to the power of the sword, at the time of their calamity, at 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, saith the Lord Eternal, I will surely let thy blood flow, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou didst not hate blood-shedding, so shall blood pursue thee.

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

Thus will I change the mountain of Se'ir into a desolate land and a waste, and I will cut off from it him that travelleth forward and backward.

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

And I will fill his mountains with his slain: as regardeth thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy ravines, in them shall fall those that are slain by the sword.

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

Into perpetual desolations will I change thee, and thy cities shall not be restored: and ye 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 thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall indeed be mine, and we will take possession thereof; whereas 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 I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou didst use out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I judge thee.

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

And thou shalt know that I am the Lord: I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given unto us to consume them.

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

And ye boasted greatly against me with your mouth, and have multiplied against me your words: I have indeed heard them.

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

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

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

As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was made desolate: so will I do unto thee; desolate shalt thou be, O mountain of Se'ir, and all Idumea—altogether; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
