The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 God's Message came to me:
1
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
2 "Son of man, confront Mount Seir. Prophesy against it!
2
fili hominis pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir et prophetabis de eo et dices illi
3 Tell them, 'God, the Master, says: "'I'm coming down hard on you, Mount Seir. I'm stepping in and turning you to a pile of rubble.
3
haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te mons Seir et extendam manum meam super te et dabo te desolatum atque desertum
4 I'll reduce your towns to piles of rocks. There'll be nothing left of you. Then you'll realize that I am God.
4
urbes tuas demoliar et tu desertus eris et scies quia ego Dominus
5 "'I'm doing this because you've kept this age-old grudge going against Israel: You viciously attacked them when they were already down, looking their final punishment in the face.
5
eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus et concluseris filios Israhel in manus gladii in tempore adflictionis eorum in tempore iniquitatis extremae
6 Therefore, as sure as I am the living God, I'm lining you up for a real bloodbath. Since you loved blood so much, you'll be chased by rivers of blood.
6
propterea vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quoniam sanguini tradam te et sanguis te persequetur et cum sanguinem oderis sanguis persequetur te
7 I'll reduce Mount Seir to a heap of rubble. No one will either come or go from that place!
7
et dabo montem Seir desolatum et desertum et auferam de eo euntem et redeuntem
8 I'll blanket your mountains with corpses. Massacred bodies will cover your hills and fill up your valleys and ditches.
8
et implebo montes eius occisorum suorum in collibus tuis et in vallibus tuis atque in torrentibus interfecti gladio cadent
9 I'll reduce you to ruins and all your towns will be ghost towns - population zero. Then you'll realize that I am God.
9
in solitudines sempiternas tradam te et civitates tuae non habitabuntur et scietis quoniam ego Dominus
10 "'Because you said, "These two nations, these two countries, are mine. I'm taking over" (even though God is right there watching, right there listening),
10
eo quod dixeris duae gentes et duae terrae meae erunt et hereditate possidebo eas cum Dominus esset ibi
11 I'll turn your hate-bloated anger and rage right back on you. You'll know I mean business when I bring judgment on you.
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
12 You'll realize then that I, God, have overheard all the vile abuse you've poured out against the mountains of Israel, saying, "They're roadkill and we're going to eat them up."
12
et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa obprobria tua quae locutus es de montibus Israhel dicens deserti nobis dati sunt ad devorandum
13 You've strutted around, talking so big, insolently pitting yourselves against me. And I've heard it all.
13
et insurrexistis super me ore vestro et rogastis adversum me verba vestra ego audivi
14 "'This is the verdict of God, the Master: With the whole earth applauding, I'll demolish you.
14
haec dicit Dominus Deus laetante universa terra in solitudinem te redigam
15 Since you danced in the streets, thinking it was so wonderful when Israel's inheritance was demolished, I'll give you the same treatment: demolition. Mount Seir demolished - yes, every square inch of Edom. Then they'll realize that I am God!'
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
