1 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 and tell it, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment. 4 I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

5 "‘"Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end, 6 therefore, as I live," says the Lord Yahweh, "I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you. 7 Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns. 8 I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses. 9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

10 "‘"Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although Yahweh was there, 11 therefore, as I live," says the Lord Yahweh, "I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you. 12 You will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’ 13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it." 14 The Lord Yahweh says: "When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’"

1 Verder het die woord van die HERE tot my gekom en gesê:

2 Mensekind, rig jou aangesig teen die berg Se‹r en profeteer teen hom.

3 En sê vir hom: So spreek die Here HERE: Kyk, Ek het dit teen jou, o berg Se‹r! En Ek sal my hand teen jou uitstrek en jou 'n wildernis en 'n woesteny maak.

4 Ek sal jou stede 'n puinhoop maak, en jy self sal 'n wildernis word; en jy sal weet dat Ek die HERE is.

5 Omdat jy 'n ewige vyandskap koester en die kinders van Israel in die mag van die swaard oorgelewer het in die tyd van hulle onheil, in die tyd van uiteindelike afrekening,

6 daarom, so waar as Ek leef, spreek die Here HERE, gewis, Ek sal jou tot bloed maak, en bloed sal jou vervolg; omdat jy bloed nie gehaat het nie, sal bloed jou vervolg.

7 En Ek sal die berg Se‹r 'n woesteny en wildernis maak, en uit hom uitroei die wat deurtrek en wat terugkom.

8 En Ek sal sy berge vol maak met die wat uit hom verslaan is; jou heuwels en jou dale en al jou klowe -- die wat verslaan is deur die swaard, sal daarin val.

9 Ewige wildernisse sal Ek jou maak, en jou stede sal nie bewoon word nie; en julle sal weet dat Ek die HERE is.

10 Omdat jy sê: Die twee nasies daar en die twee lande sal myne wees, en ons sal dit in besit neem -- terwyl tog die HERE daar gewees het --

11 daarom, so waar as Ek leef, spreek die Here HERE, Ek sal handel volgens jou toorn en jou naywer waarmee jy uit jou haat teen hulle gehandel het; en Ek sal onder hulle bekend word as Ek jou oordeel.

12 En jy sal weet dat Ek, die HERE, al jou lasterlike woorde gehoor het wat jy teen die berge van Israel gespreek het deur te sê: Hulle lê woes, hulle is aan ons gegee tot spys.

13 So het julle dan jul groot gehou teen My met julle mond en julle woorde teen My opgehoop; Ek het dit gehoor.

14 So sê die Here HERE: Tot vreugde van die hele aarde sal Ek jou 'n wildernis maak.

15 Soos jy vrolik was oor die erfdeel van die huis van Israel, omdat dit verwoes is, so sal Ek met jou maak: jy sal 'n wildernis word, o berg Se‹r en die hele Edom, almal saam. En hulle sal weet dat Ek die HERE is.
