Hiezechielis Prophetæ 35

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

Moreover the LORD’s word 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 tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

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

I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will 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 you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in 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,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.

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

Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

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 its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.

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

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 these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although 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,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known amongst them when I judge you.

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

You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’

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

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”

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

The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you 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 you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
