Ezekiel 35

vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor

The word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam sim panekha al-har se'ir vehinnave alayw

O mortal, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it.

ve'amarta lo koh amar adonay Elohim hinni elekha har-se'ir venatiti yadi alekha unetattikha shemamah umeshammah

Say to it: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: I am going to deal with you, Mount Seir: I will stretch out My hand against you and make you an utter waste.

arekha khorbah asim ve'attah shemamah tihyeh veyadata ki-ani Adonai

I will turn your towns into ruins, and you shall be a desolation; then you shall know that I am GOD.

ya'an heyot lekha evat olam vattagger et-bene-yisra'el al-yede-kharev be'et edam be'et avon qets

Because you harbored an ancient hatred and handed the people of Israel over to the sword in their time of calamity, the time set for their punishment—

lakhen khay-ani ne'um adonay Elohim ki-ledam e'eskha vedam yirdefekha im-lo dam saneta vedam yirdefekha

assuredly, as I live, declares the Sovereign GOD, I will doom you with blood; blood shall pursue you; I swear that, for your bloodthirsty hatred, blood shall pursue you.

venatatti et-har se'ir leshimmah ushemamah vehikhratti mimmennu over vashav

I will make Mount Seir an utter waste, and I will keep all passersby away from it.

umilleti et-harayw khalalayw givotekha vege'otekha vekhol-afiqekha khalle-kherev yippelu vahem

I will cover its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword shall lie on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your watercourses.

shimmot olam ettenkha ve'arekha lo (tyshvnh) [tashovenah] vidatem ki-ani Adonai

I will make you a desolation for all time; your towns shall never be inhabited. And you shall know that I am GOD.

ya'an amorkha et-shene haggoyim ve'et-shete ha'aratsot li tihyenah virashnuha va-Adonai sham hayah

Because you thought “The two nations and the two lands shall be mine and we shall possess them”—although GOD was there—

lakhen khay-ani ne'um adonay Elohim ve'asiti ke'appekha ukheqinatekha asher asitah missinatekha bam venodati vam ka'asher eshpetekha

assuredly, as I live, declares the Sovereign GOD, I will act with the same anger and passion that you acted with in your hatred of them. And I will make Myself known through them when I judge you.

veyadata ki ani Adonai shamati et-kol-na'atsotekha asher amarta al-hare yisra'el lemor [shamemu] (shmmh) lanu nittenu le'okhlah

You shall know that I, GOD, have heard all the taunts you uttered against the hills of Israel: “They have been laid waste; they have been given to us as prey.”

vattagdilu alay befikhem vehatartem alay divrekhem ani shama'eti

And you spoke arrogantly against Me and multiplied your words against Me: I have heard it.

koh amar adonay Elohim kismoakh kol-ha'arets shemamah e'eseh-llakh

Thus said the ETERNAL God: When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation.

kesimkhatekha lenakhalat bet-yisra'el al asher-shamemah ken e'eseh-llakh shemamah tihyeh har-se'ir vekhol-edom kullah veyade'u ki-ani Adonai

As you rejoiced when the heritage of the House of Israel was laid waste, so will I treat you: the hill country of Seir and the whole of Edom, all of it, shall be laid waste. And they shall know that I am GOD.
