Hiezechielis Prophetæ 35

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

And there is a word of Jehovah 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 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 thou hast said to it: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against thee, And made thee a desolation and an astonishment.

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

Thy cities a waste I make, and thou art a desolation, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.

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

Because of thy having an enmity age-during, And thou dost saw the sons of Israel, By the hands 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, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee, If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee.

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

And I have given mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,

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

And filled his mountains with his wounded, Thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.

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

Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not return, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

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

Because of thy saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And Jehovah hath been 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, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I have done according to thine anger, And according to thine envy, With which thou hast wrought, Because of thy hatred against them, And I have been 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 hast known that I — Jehovah, I have heard all thy despisings that thou hast spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying: A desolation, to us they were given for food.

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

And ye magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made abundant against Me your words, I — I have heard.

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

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, A desolation I make of thee.

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

According to thy joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to thee — a desolation thou art, O mount Seir, and all Edom — all of it, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!
