Ezekiel 35

The word of the Lord came to me:

وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir; prophesy against it

«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ بِوَجْهِكَ نَحْوَ جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ.

and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

وَقُلْ لأَهْلِهِ: هَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكَ يَا جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ وَأُعَاقِبُكَ لأَجْعَلَكَ خَرَاباً مُقْفِراً.

I will turn your towns into ruins and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

أَجْعَلُ مُدُنَكَ أَطْلالاً وَتَكُونُ أَنْتَ مُقْفِراً، فَتُدْرِكُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

“‘Because you harbored an ancient hostility and delivered the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their calamity, the time their punishment reached its climax,

لأَنَّكَ أَضْمَرْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ بُغْضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً، وَأَسْلَمْتَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى حَدِّ السَّيْفِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ مِحْنَتِهِمْ، فِي سَاعَةِ دَيْنُونَةِ إِثْمِهِمْ.

therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.

لِذَلِكَ حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، إِنِّي أُعِدُّكَ لِسَفْكِ الدَّمِ، وَالدَّمُ يَتَعَقَّبُكَ. لأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَمْقُتْ سَفْكَ الدَّمِ فَالدَّمُ يَتَعَقَّبُكَ.

I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and cut off from it all who come and go.

فَأُحَوِّلُ جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ إِلَى أَطْلالٍ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ ذَاهِبٍ وَآيِبٍ.

I will fill your mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.

وَأَجْعَلُ جِبَالَهُ تَكْتَظُّ بِقَتْلاهُ، فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي تِلالِكَ وَأَوْدِيَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ أَنْهَارِكَ صَرْعَى السَّيْفِ.

I will make you desolate forever; your towns will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

وَأُحِيلُكَ إِلَى خَرَائِبَ أَبَدِيَّةٍ، فَلا يَبْقَى لِمُدُنِكَ أَثَرٌ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

“‘Because you have said, “These two nations and countries will be ours and we will take possession of them,” even though I the Lord was there,

لأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الأُمَّتَيْنِ، وَهَاتَيْنِ الأَرْضَيْنِ تُصْبِحَانِ لِي فَأَمْتَلِكُهُمَا، وَلَوْ كَانَ الرَّبُّ هُنَاكَ.

therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will treat you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.

لِذَلِكَ حَيٌّ أَنَا يقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لَأُعَامِلَنَّكَ بِمُقْتَضَى غَضَبِكَ وَحَسَدِكَ اللَّذَيْنِ أَبْدَيْتَهُمَا فِي بَغْضَائِكَ لَهُمْ، فَأُعْلِنُ ذَاتِي عِنْدَمَا أَدِينُكَ.

Then you will know that I the Lord have heard all the contemptible things you have said against the mountains of Israel. You said, “They have been laid waste and have been given over to us to devour.”

فَتُدْرِكُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كُلَّ إِهَانَتِكَ الَّتِي عَيَّرْتَ بِها جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ خَرَاباً وَصَارَتْ لَنَا مَغْنَماً.

You boasted against me and spoke against me without restraint, and I heard it.

قَدْ تَبَاهَيْتُمْ عَلَيَّ بِأَفْوَاهِكُمْ، وَأَكْثَرْتُمْ مِنْ لَغْوِكُمْ عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

فَفِي مَوْسِمِ الرَّبِيعِ أَجْعَلُكَ مُقْفِراً

Because you rejoiced when the inheritance of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, you and all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

وَكَمَا فَرِحْتَ لِخَرَابِ مِيرَاثِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَذَلِكَ أَفْعَلُ بِكَ، فَتَصِيرُ يَا جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ خَرَاباً أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ بِلادِ أَدُومَ فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
