Ezequiel, 35

1. Se me comunicó esta palabra de Yavé:

1. Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:

2. "Vuelve tu mirada hacia la montaña de Seir y profetiza contra ella. Así le dirás

2. “Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir et propheta de eo et dices illi:

3. de parte de Yavé: Aquí estoy para extender mi mano sobre ti, montaña de Seir, te convertiré en ruinas y en desierto.

3. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, mons Seir; et extendam manum meam super te et dabo te desolatum atque desertum.

4. Tus ciudades serán arrasadas, te transformarás en un desierto y sabrás que yo soy Yavé.

4. Urbes tuas demoliar, et tu desertus eris et scies quia ego Dominus.

5. Con tu odio de siempre, condenaste a los israelitas a la espada en el tiempo de la prueba, cuando puse término a sus pecados.

5. Eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus et concluseris filios Israel in manus gladii in tempore afflictionis eorum, in tempore poenae extremae;

6. Por eso, tan cierto como que vivo, dice Yavé, puesto que has hecho derramar sangre, la sangre te perseguirá.

6. propterea, vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, sanguini tradam te, et sanguis te persequetur et, cum sanguinem non oderis, sanguis persequetur te.

7. Convertiré a la montaña de Seir en ruinas y en desierto, y eliminaré de ella toda presencia humana.

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

8. Tus montañas se cubrirán de cadáveres; habrá víctimas de la espada en tus colinas, en los valles y en todos los barrancos.

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

9. Te arruinaré para siempre y tus ciudades nunca más serán habitadas; entonces sabrás que yo soy Yavé.

9. In solitudines sempiternas tradam te, et civitates tuae non habitabuntur, et scietis quoniam ego Dominus.

10. ¿Cómo pudiste decir: "Las dos naciones son mías, su tierra ahora me pertenece"? ¡Siendo que allí está Yavé!

10. Eo quod dixeris: “Duae gentes et duae terrae meae erunt, et hereditate possidebo eas!”, cum Dominus esset ibi;

11. Tan cierto como que yo vivo, dice Yavé, que mi cólera y mi celo serán tan grandes como el odio que tuviste hacia ellos; me daré a conocer a ti el día que te juzgue.

11. propterea, vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, faciam iuxta iram tuam et secundum zelum tuum, quem fecisti odio habens eos, et notus efficiar in eis, cum te iudicavero.

12. Sabrás que yo, Yavé, escuchaba todos tus insultos. Pues decías: "¡Están totalmente arruinadas, todo será para nosotros!"

12. Et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa opprobria tua, quae locutus es de montibus Israel dicens: “Deserti nobis ad devorandum dati sunt!”.

13. Tuviste conmigo palabras muy despreciativas y yo lo entendí.

13. Et insurrexistis super me ore vestro et vociferati estis vobis adversum me verba vestra; ego audivi.

14. Así habla Yavé: a ti te convertiré en una ruina, mientras el resto del mundo disfrutará de alegría.

14. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Laetante universa terra, in solitudinem te redigam;

15. ( ) Serán arrasados no sólo la montaña de Seir sino todo Edom. Y sabrán que yo soy Yavé.

15. sicuti gavisus es super hereditatem domus Israel, eo quod fuerit dissipata, sic faciam tibi: dissipatus eris, mons Seir, et Idumaea omnis, et scient quia ego Dominus.

Footnotes:

35:1-9 - God declares judgment against Edom, which rejoiced at Israel's destruction. Edom represents God's enemies, and Edom's fall symbolizes God's justice against those who oppose His people (see also Obadiah 1:10-16 and Jeremiah 49:7-22).

35:10-15 - God promises to completely destroy Edom, showing that He repays according to the actions of the nations. God's justice is impartial, and those who harm His people will experience His judgment (see also Isaiah 34:8-17 and Zephaniah 2:8-10).

Verses related to Ezequiel, 35:

Ezekiel chapter 35 prophesies against Mount Seir (Edom). Why does God judge this neighboring nation? This incisive text condemns Edom for its perpetual hatred of Israel and its joy in the face of Judah's calamity. The chapter addresses themes such as divine vengeance, the consequences of hatred, and God's faithfulness to His covenant. Ezekiel 35 also highlights the holiness of God's name. Explore with us five biblical passages that elucidate the eternal principles of this judgment chapter.

Obadiah 1:10: "Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever." - This verse echoes the prophecy against Edom in Ezekiel 35, highlighting divine judgment against Israel's enemies.

Psalms 137:7: "Remember, Lord, the Edomites and what they did when Jerusalem was destroyed, when they shouted, 'Destroy it! Demolish it to its foundations!'" - This psalm reflects Edom's hostility toward Israel, a central theme in Ezekiel 35.

Malachi 1:3-4: "But I rejected Esau and made his mountains a desert and left his inheritance to the jackals of the desert. Although Edom says, 'We have been crushed, but we will rebuild the ruins,' thus says the Lord of hosts: They may build, but I will tear down." - This prophecy against Edom complements the message of Ezekiel 35, emphasizing the impossibility of Edom prospering against God's will.

Isaiah 34:5-6: "My sword drank its fill in the heavens; see, she comes down to judge Edom, the people I sentenced to destruction. The sword of the Lord is bathed in blood and covered with fat." - This passage from Isaiah presents a similar judgment against Edom, reinforcing the message of Ezekiel 35.

Jeremiah 49:17-18: "Edom will become an object of astonishment; all who pass by it will be shocked and mock all its wounds. Just as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, with the neighboring cities, says the Lord, no one will live there; no one will live in it." - Jeremiah prophesies the destruction of Edom in a similar way to Ezekiel 35, emphasizing the utter desolation.
