Hezekiel 25

¹Ve Rab'bin sözü bana gelip şöyle dedi:

²Ey insanoğlu, yüzünü kararlılıkla Ammon oğullarına çevir ve onlara karşı peygamberlik et.

³Ve Ammon oğullarına de ki: Rab'bin sözünü dinleyin! Rab şöyle diyor: Kutsal yerim kirletildiğinde, İsrail toprağı viran edildiğinde ve Yahuda evi tutsaklığa gittiğinde kötü niyetli bir sevinç duyduğunuz için,

⁴bu yüzden işte, sizi mülk olarak Kedem oğullarına teslim ediyorum; kendi ordularıyla ve hazırlıklarıyla içinizde konaklayacaklar ve çadırlarını içinizde kuracaklar; meyvelerinizi onlar yiyecek, toprağınızın en semiz ürünlerini ve sütünü onlar içecek.

⁵Ammon şehrini develerin otlağı, Ammon oğullarını ise koyunların ağılı yapacağım; o zaman benim Rab olduğumu anlayacaksınız.

⁶Çünkü Rab şöyle diyor: İsrail toprağına karşı el çırptığın, ayağını yere vurup ses çıkardığın ve canıgönülden gelen bir sevinçle alay ettiğin için,

⁷bu yüzden işte, elimi sana karşı uzatacağım, seni uluslara bir yağma olarak teslim edeceğim, seni halkların arasından yok edeceğim ve ülkelerin arasından tamamen silip mahvedeceğim; o zaman benim Rab olduğumu anlayacaksın.

⁸Rab şöyle diyor: Moav, 'İşte, İsrail ve Yahuda evi de diğer bütün uluslar gibidir!' dediği için,

⁹bu yüzden işte, Moav'ın omzunu sınır şehirlerinden, o seçkin topraktan, deniz kıyısındaki şehrin pınarı üzerindeki Beth-Asimut'tan mahrum bırakıp savunmasız açacağım.

¹⁰Ammon oğullarına karşı orayı da mülk olarak Kedem oğullarına verdim; öyle ki, Ammon oğulları uluslar arasında bir daha anılmasın.

¹¹Moav'a karşı da öç alıp hükmümü icra edeceğim; o zaman benim Rab olduğumu anlayacaklar.

¹²Rab şöyle diyor: İdumeya, Yahuda evinden öç alarak büyük bir suç işlediği, kin besleyip onlardan tamamen öç aldığı için,

¹³bu yüzden Rab şöyle diyor: Elimi İdumeya'ya karşı uzatacağım, oradan insanı da hayvanı da yok edeceğim ve orayı viraneye çevireceğim; Teman'dan kovalananlar kılıçla düşecekler.

¹⁴İdumeya'dan öcümü halkım İsrail'in eliyle alacağım; İdumeya'da öfkeme ve hiddetime göre davranacaklar. Böylece öcümü anlayacaklar, diyor Rab.

¹⁵Rab şöyle diyor: Yabancılar öç duygusuyla hareket ettikleri, tek bir kişiye kadar tamamen yok etmek amacıyla canıgönülden sevinerek öç almaya kalkıştıkları için,

¹⁶bu yüzden Rab şöyle diyor: İşte, elimi yabancılara karşı uzatacağım, Giritliler'i yok edeceğim ve kıyı şeridinde yaşayanların geri kalanını ortadan kaldıracağım.

¹⁷Onlardan büyük intikamlar alacağım; üzerlerine öcümü getirdiğimde benim Rab olduğumu anlayacaklar.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·

²υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς

³καὶ ἐρεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Αμμών· ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐπεχάρητε ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγιά μου, ὅτι ἐβεβηλώθη, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι ἠφανίσθη, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ιούδα, ὅτι ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ,

⁴διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι ὑμᾶς τοῖς υἱοῖς Κεδὲμ εἰς κληρονομίαν, καὶ κατασκηνώσουσιν ἐν τῇ ἀπαρτίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐν σοὶ καὶ δώσουσιν ἐν σοὶ τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν· αὐτοὶ φάγονται τοὺς καρπούς σου, καὶ αὐτοὶ πίονται τὴν πιότητά σου.

⁵καὶ δώσω τὴν πόλιν τοῦ ᾿Αμμὼν εἰς νομὰς καμήλων καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Αμμὼν εἰς νομὴν προβάτων· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

⁶διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐκρότησας τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ ἐψόφησας τῷ ποδί σου καὶ ἐπέχαρας ἐκ ψυχῆς σου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ,

⁷διὰ τοῦτο ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ δώσω σε εἰς διαρπαγὴν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω σε ἐκ τῶν λαῶν καὶ ἀπολῶ σε ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν ἀπωλείᾳ· καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος. -

⁸Τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ’ ὧν εἶπε Μωάβ· ἰδοὺ ὃν τρόπον πάντα τὰ ἔθνη οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδα,

⁹διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραλύω τὸν ὦμον Μωὰβ ἀπὸ πόλεων ἀκρωτηρίων αὐτοῦ, ἐκλεκτὴν γῆν, οἶκον ᾿Ασιμοὺθ ἐπάνω πηγῆς πόλεως παραθαλασσίας.

¹⁰τοῖς υἱοῖς Κεδὲμ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Αμμὼν δέδωκα αὐτοὺς εἰς κληρονομίαν, ὅπως μὴ μνεία γένηται τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Αμμών·

¹¹καὶ εἰς Μωὰβ ποιήσω ἐκδίκησιν, καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος. -

¹²Τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐποίησεν ἡ ᾿Ιδουμαία ἐν τῷ ἐκδικῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἐκδίκησιν εἰς τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐμνησικάκησαν καὶ ἐξεδίκησαν δίκην,

¹³διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τὴν ᾿Ιδουμαίαν καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος καὶ θήσομαι αὐτὴν ἔρημον, καὶ ἐκ Θαιμὰν διωκόμενοι ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται.

¹⁴καὶ δώσω ἐκδίκησίν μου ἐπὶ τὴν ᾿Ιδουμαίαν ἐν χειρὶ λαοῦ μου ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ποιήσουσιν ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιδουμαίᾳ κατὰ τὴν ὀργήν μου καὶ κατὰ τὸν θυμόν μου· καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται τὴν ἐκδίκησίν μου, λέγει Κύριος. -

¹⁵Διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐποίησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν ἐκδικήσει καὶ ἐξανέστησαν ἐκδίκησιν ἐπιχαίροντες ἐκ ψυχῆς τοῦ ἐξαλεῖψαι ἕως ἑνός,

¹⁶διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκτείνω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω Κρῆτας καὶ ἀπολῶ τοὺς καταλοίπους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν παραλίαν·

¹⁷καὶ ποιήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐκδικήσεις μεγάλας, καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ δοῦναι τὴν ἐκδίκησίν μου ἐπ’ αὐτούς.

¹And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

²Son of man, set thy face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

³and thou shalt say to the children of Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord; Forasmuch as ye have rejoiced against my sanctuary, because it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, because it was laid waste; and against the house of Juda, because they went into captivity;

⁴therefore, behold, I [will] deliver you to the children of Kedem for an inheritance, and they shall lodge in thee with their stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits, and they shall drink thy milk.

⁵And I will give up the city of Ammon for camels’ pastures, and the children of Ammon for a pasture of sheep: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

⁶For thus saith the Lord; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with thy foot, and heartily rejoiced against the land of Israel;

⁷therefore I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a spoil to the nations; and I will utterly destroy thee from among the peoples, and I will completely cut thee off from out of the countries: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

⁸Thus saith the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the house of Israel and Juda like all the [other] nations?

⁹Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, [even] the choice land, the house of Bethasimuth above the fountain of the city, by the sea-side.

¹⁰I have given him the children of Kedem in addition to the children of Ammon for an inheritance, that there may be no remembrance of the children of Ammon.

¹¹And I will execute vengeance on Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

¹²Thus saith the Lord; Because of what the Idumeans have done in taking vengeance on the house of Juda, and [because they] have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense;

¹³therefore thus saith the Lord; I will also stretch out my hand upon Idumea, and will utterly destroy out of it man and beast; and will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Thaeman shall fall by the sword.

¹⁴And I will execute my vengeance on Idumea by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall deal in Idumea according to mine anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord.

¹⁵Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because the Philistines have wrought revengefully, and raised up vengeance rejoicing from their heart to destroy [the Israelites] to a man;

¹⁶therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and will utterly destroy the Cretans, and will cut off the remnant that dwell by the sea-coast.

¹⁷And I will execute great vengeance upon them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought my vengeance upon them.
