1 و َجاءَتْ إليَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

The Word of the Lord came to me saying,

2 « انظُرْ يا إنسانُ نَحوَ سَعِيرَ وَتنَبَّأْ ضِدَّها.

“Son of man, look toward Mount Seir and speak against it,

3 ق ُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «‹أنا ضِدُّكَ يا جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ، وَقَدْ رَفَعتُ يَدِي لِأضرِبَكَ، لِأُدَمِّرُ أرْضَكَ بِالكامِلِ.

saying, ‘The Lord God says, “I am against you, Mount Seir. I will put out My hand against you and make you a waste land.

4 س َأُحَوِّلُ مُدُنَكَ إلَى خَرائِبَ، وَاُدَمِّرُها بِالكامِلِ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.

I will destroy your cities, and you will become a waste. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

5 ل أنَّكَ كَرِهتَ إسْرائِيلَ، وَجَعَلْتَ مِنْ نَفسِكَ عَدُوّاً لَها إلَى الأبَدِ، وَأسلَمْتَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ لِيُقتَلُوا بِالسَّيفِ فِي يَومِ حُلولِ الكارِثَةِ عَلَيهِمْ، فِي وَقتِ عِقابِهِمِ النِّهائِيِّ.›»

You have always hated the people of Israel and have given them over to be killed at the time of their trouble, at the time of the punishment of the end.

6 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي إنِّي سَأُعِدُّكَ لِسَفكِ الدَّمِ، فَيُلاحِقُكَ الدَّمُ أينَما ذَهبتَ. أنتَ لَمْ تَرفُضْ سَفكَ الدَّمِ، لِذَلِكَ سَيُلاحِقُكَ سَفكُ الدَّمِ.

So as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will give you over to death, and you will not get away from death. Since you have not hated killing, death will come after you.

7 س َأُحَوِّلُ جَبَل سَعِيرٍ إلَى خَرابٍ كامِلٍ، وَسَأُوقِفُ كُلَّ سَفَرٍ عَبرَ أرْضِكَ.

I will destroy Mount Seir and make it a waste. And I will kill all who travel through it.

8 و َسَأُغَطِّي جِبالَكَ وَتِلالَكَ وَوِديانَكَ وَجَداوِلَكَ بِجُثَثِكَ، جُثَثِ رِجالٍ سَقَطُوا بِالسَّيفِ هُناكَ.

I will fill its mountains with its dead. Those killed by the sword will fall on your hills and in your valleys.

9 س َتَكونَ أرْضُكَ خَراباً إلَى الأبَدِ، وَلَنْ تَعُودَ مُدُنُكَ تُسكَنُ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.

I will destroy you forever, and no one will live in your cities. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

10 ل ِأنَّكَ قُلتَ: «سَنَأخُذُ أرْضَ هَذِينِ الشَّعبَينِ وَهَذَينِ البَلَدَينِ وَممتَلَكاتِهِما.›» مَعَ أنَّ اللهُ يَسكُنُ فِيهما

“You have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will own them,’ even when the Lord was there.

11 ف َهَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي، إنِّي سَأتَعامَلُ مَعَكُمْ بِحَسَبِ غَضَبِكُمْ وَحَسَدِكُمُ اللَّذَينِ ظَهَرا بِسَبِبِ كُرهِكُمْ لِشَعبِي. سَأُدِينُكُمْ فَيَعلَمَ شَعبِي أنَّنِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ.

So as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will punish you for your anger and the jealousy you showed because of your hate toward them. And I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.

12 و َسَتَعلَمُونَ أنتُمْ أنِّي أنا اللهُ. «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كُلَّ الشَّتائِمِ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِها ضِدَّ جِبالِ إسْرائِيلَ. قُلْتُمْ: ‹قَدْ هَلَكُوا وَصارُوا طَعاماً لَنا!›

Then you will know that I, the Lord, have heard all the bad things you have said against the mountains of Israel. You have said, ‘They are destroyed. They are given to us for food.’

13 ت َفاخَرْتُمْ وَتَكَلَّمْتُمْ عَلَيَّ. تَفاخَرْتُمْ بِأوثانِكُمْ أمامِي، وَأنا قَدْ سَمِعْتُ!»

You have spoken in pride against Me, with many words and I have heard you.”

14 ل ِذا، هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَتَفرَحُ الأرْضُ حِينَ أُدَمِّرُكُمْ.

The Lord God says, “While the whole earth is filled with joy, I will destroy you.

15 ك َما فَرِحْتُمْ بِخَرابِ أرْضَ بَيتِ إسْرائِيلَ. فَكَذَلِكَ سَأفعَلُ بِكُمْ. سَيَخْرَبُ جَبَلُ سَعِيرَ، بَلْ كُلُّ أدُومَ! حِينَئِذٍ، سَتَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.»

As you had joy because the land of Israel was destroyed, so I will do to you. You will be destroyed, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’
