An other prophecie against the Idumeans, 5. because they afflicted the Israelites.
1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:E IL Signore parlommi, dicendo:AND the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 2Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy concerning it, and say to it:Figliuolo dell'uomo, volgi la tua faccia verso il monte di Seir, e profeterai intorno ad esso, e gli dirai:Sonne of man set thy face against mount Seir, and thou shalt prophecie of it, and shalt say to it:Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir, et prophetabis de eo, et dices illi: 3Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Eccomi a te, o monte di Seir, ed io stenderò la mia mano sopra di te, e ti renderò desolato, e deserto.Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I to thee mount Seir, and I wil stretch forth my hand vpon thee, and wil make thee desolate and desert.Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce ego ad te, mons Seir: / et extendam manum meam super te, / et dabo te desolatum atque desertum. 4I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.Io demolirò le tue città, e tu sarai disabitato, e conoscerai, ch'io sono il Signore.Thy cities I wil destroy, and thou shalt be desert: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.Urbes tuas demoliar, / et tu desertus eris: / et scies quia ego Dominus. 5Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of their last iniquity.Perchè tu se' stato nemico eterno, e colla spada alla mano chiudesti a' figliuoli di Israele lo scampo nel tempo della loro afflizione, e nel tempo di estrema calamità;For that thou hast bene an euerlasting enemie, and hast shutvp the children of Israel into the handes of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquitie.Eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus, / et concluseris filios Israël in manus gladii / in tempore afflictionis eorum, / in tempore iniquitatis extremæ: 6Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.Per questo io giuro (dice il Signore Dio), che io ti abbandonerò al sangue, e il sangue ti perseguiterà, e, avendo tu odiato il sangue, il sangue ti perseguiterà,Therfore liue I, saith our Lord God, that I wil deliuer thee vnto bloud, & bloud shal persecute thee: & wheras thou hast hated bloud, bloud shal persecute thee.propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, / quoniam sanguini tradam te, / et sanguis te persequetur: / et cum sanguinem oderis, / sanguis persequetur te.
7And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth.E renderò desolato, e deserto il monte di Seir, e farò, che non vi sia più chi vada, e chi venga.And I wil make mount Seir desolate and desert: and I wil take from it the comer, and goer.Et dabo montem Seir desolatum atque desertum, / et auferam de eo euntem et redeuntem. 8And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword.E i monti di lei empierò de' suoi uccisi: su' tuoi colli, e pelle tue valli, e pe' torrenti caderanno uccisi di spada.And I wil fil his mountaines with his slaine: in thy hilles, and in thy valleis, and in the torrents shal the slaine with the sword fal.Et implebo montes ejus occisorum suorum: / in collibus tuis, et in vallibus tuis atque in torrentibus, / interfecti gladio cadent. 9I will make thee everlasting desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God.Ti ridurrò in solitudini eterne, e le tue città non saranno abitate; e conoscerete, ch'io sono il Signore Dio:Into euerlasting desolations wil I deliuer thee, and thy cities shal not be inhabited: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God.In solitudines sempiternas tradam te, / et civitates tuæ non habitabuntur: / et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus. 10Because thou hast said: The two nations, and the two lands shall be mine, and I will possess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was there.Perchè tu dicesti: Due genti, e due regioni saranno mie, ed io le possederò in retaggio, quando ivi si stava il Signore;For that thou hast said: The two nations, and the two landes shal be mine, and I wil possesse them by inheritance: wheras our Lord was there.Eo quod dixeris: Duæ gentes et duæ terræ meæ erunt, / et hæreditate possidebo eas, / cum Dominus esset ibi: 11Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thy wrath, and according to thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to them: and I will be made known by them, when I shall have judged thee.Per questo io giuro, dice il Signore Dio, io ti tratterò come merita la tua ira, e la tua invidia, e l'odio contro di essi; ed io sarò conosciuto per mezzo di essi, quando avrò fatto giudizio di te.Therfore liue I, saith our Lord God, that I wil doe according to thy wrath, and according to thy zele, which thou hast vsed hating them: and I wil be made knowne by them, when I shal haue iudged thee.propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, / quia faciam juxta iram tuam, et secundum zelum tuum, / quem fecisti odio habens eos: / et notus efficiar per eos, cum te judicavero.
12And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying. They are desolate, they are given to us to consume.E conoscerai, che io il Signore ho uditi tutti gli obbrobri, che tu hai detti contro i monti d'Israele, dicendo: Sono in abbandono, sono dati a noi, perchè li divoriamo.And thou shalt know that I the Lord haue heard al thy reproches, that thou hast spoken of the montaines of Israel, saying: They are desert, they are geuen vnto vs to deuoure.Et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa opprobria tua / quæ locutus es de montibus Israël, dicens: / Deserti; nobis ad devorandum dati sunt. 13And you rose up against me with your mouth, and have derogated from me by your words: I have heard them.E vi siete alzati contro di me colla vostra lingua, e gettaste contro di me le vostre parole: io le udii.And you rose vp vpon me with your mouth, & haue derogated your wordes against me: I heard it.Et insurrexistis super me ore vestro, / et derogastis adversum me verba vestra: / ego audivi. 14Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness.Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Con giubilo di tutta la terra io ti ridurrò in solitudine.Thus saith our Lord God: Al the earth reioycing, I wil bring thee into a wildernes.Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Lætante universa terra, / in solitudinem te redigam: 15As thou hast rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord.Siccome tu facesti festa sopra l'eredità della casa d'Israele, perchè era dissipata, così io farò a te: tu, o monte di Seir, sarai devastato, e tu, Idumea, tutta quanta: e conosceranno, ch'io sono il Signore.As thou hast reioyced vpon the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was dissipated, so wil I doe to thee: Thou shalt be dissipated mount Seir, and al Idumea: and they shal know that I am the Lord.sicuti gavisus es super hæreditatem domus Israël / eo quod fuerit dissipata, / sic faciam tibi: / dissipatus eris, mons Seir, et Idumæa omnis: / et scient quia ego Dominus.
35:2
Worthington
Face. Address, or speak without fearing any man. (Worthington)
35:5
Worthington
Enemy. God revenges the injuries done to his Church, as if they were done to himself, Acts 9:4. (Worthington)
The enmity of Jacob and of Esau seemed to commence in the womb, and was increased by the purchase of the birth-right, till Jacob's prudence disarmed his brother. Their descendants sought every opportunity to injure one another. The Idumeans shewed their ill-will particularly, when the Jews were most distressed. This was a piece of the greatest cruelty.
35:6
Blood. The Machabees sprung from the same stock. Pursue the Idumeans, and force them to receive circumcision, 1 Machabees 4:15.
35:9
Inhabited for a considerable time, as [in] Ezechiel 26:20.
35:10
Two. I will add the country of the Jews to my own, or will possess the land belonging to the kingdoms of Juda and of Israel. Their hopes were blasted. They never occupied any thing belonging to the Israelites, and what they had taken from Juda, as far as Hebron, was recovered.
There, witness of these designs, and guardian of his temple, etc.
35:11
Wrath. The Jews shall treat you as you have threatened to do unto them.
By them, my people. Septuagint, "to thee."
35:13
Haydock
Derogated. Septuagint, "bawled;" or Hebrew, "multiplied your words against me," as if I could not protect my inheritance. (Haydock)
You would pretend to judge me, and to fathom my designs.
35:14
Rejoice. After the captivity, the Machabees shall conquer Edom.
35:15
Calmet
As, etc., is not in the Roman Septuagint. St. Jerome says it was marked with an asterisk, being taken from Theodotion. (Calmet)
Haydock
Grabe supplies to thou shalt. His copy has the rest:..."thou shalt know that I am their Lord." (Haydock)
35:2
This frequent phrase here and in other places signifieth, turne thy speach to speake of such and such people: or, speake boldly and freely fearing no man.
35:5
God accounteth al iniuries done against his Church, as done against himself. So our Sauiour charged Saul persecuting the Church, as persecuting himself. A••. 9. v. 4.
35:3
3. ECCE EGO AD TE (Chaldæus: Ecce ego mitto furorem meum super te), MONS SEIR, — id est Edom, vel Idumæa: Esau enim cultor Idumææ dictus est Edom, quia rufus; et Seir, quia pilosus, Gen. cap. XXXVI, 8 et 9.
35:5
5. EO QUOD, etc., CONCLUSERIS FILIOS ISRAEL. — quia, ut ait Abdias vers. 14, Idumæi fugientes a Chaldæis ad se Judæos occidebant, alios etiam persequebantur et capiebant: imo cum Chaldæis obsederunt et expugnaverunt Jerusalem. IN TEMPORE INIQUITATIS EXTREMÆ. — Hebræus: In tempore quo finem habuit iniquitas. Ita Vatablus et Pagninus, id est in tempore quo Deus finem dedit peccatis Judæorum, per eorum excidium: tunc enim Chaldæis se jungentes Idumæi Judæos afflixerunt et exciderunt. Alii, «iniquitatis,» id est punitionis, et calamitatis «extremæ.» Ita Maldonatus. Ut sit metonymia, qua iniquitas ponatur pro effectu et pœna iniquitatis. Hic sensus valde congruit Hebræo et præcedentibus. Alii, «iniquitatis extremæ,» non Judæorum, sed Idumæorum. Summum enim eorum scelus fuit, cum Chaldæis se jungere, ut populum Dei everterent.
35:6
6. SANGUINI (id est cædi, vel cæsoribus et sanguinariis) TRADAM TE. — Hebræus ad verbum est, sanguinem faciam te, q. d. Ita vulnerabo et cruentabo te, ut videaris totus conversus esse in sanguinem, nec aliud esse quam sanguis. ET CUM SANGUINEM (id est cædem et occisores) ODERIS, — illi tamen persequentur te. Aliter hunc versum vertit et explicat Vatablus, nimirum, q. d. Feceram te sanguinem, id est consanguineum Hebræorum, quos odisti, cum eos amare debuisses: efficiam ergo ut sanguis, id est ultio sanguinis, vel sanguinarii te persequantur. Ita enim justa Dei ultio homicidas persequitur, ac si sanguis occisorum, ipsique occisi, aut occisorum larvæ vel furiæ eos persequerentur. Unde sæpe videntur sibi eos videre, semperque eorum phantasiæ observantur: nec eos quiescere sinunt, quasi eos insectentur, et ad necem adigant. Cujus rei illustria exempla recensui Genes. IX, 5, et Deut. XXI, 4.
35:8
8. MONTES EJUS, — montes Seir, id est Idumææ, de qua nunc in singulari loquitur, nunc in plurali, intelligens ejus cives et incolas.
35:10
10. DUÆ GENTES, etc., MEÆ ERUNT (scilicet Israel et Juda, q. d. O Idumæa! spe devoraveras totam Judæam et Samariam, dicebasque: Duæ hæ gentes, id est gentium regiones, scilicet Judæa et Israel sive Samaria, meæ sunt), CUM DOMINUS ESSET IBI, — id est ibi coleretur, essetque Judææ quasi præses, tutor et rex, q. d. Non es reveritus Dei præsentiam, et quasi, eo vidente et nolente, voluisti terram ejus occupare, et quasi Deum sua possessione depellere. Ita S. Hieronymus. Vide Jerem. XLIX, 1.
35:11
11. FACIAM JUXTA IRAM TUAM, — id est, prout meretur tua ira, et, ut Septuaginta, inimicitia et zelus, id est, ut Chaldæus, æmulatio contra fratres tuos Judæos, q. d. Irascar tibi, sicut tu iratus es populo meo: iratusque tractabo te, sicut tu eum iratus tractasti; et gloriam meam ostendam, illos liberando, te puniendo, ait Maldonatus. JUDICAVERO, — puniero.
35:12
12. DESERTI (scilicet montes Judææ, a Judæis jam occisis, vel abductis), NOBIS AD DEVORANDUM DATI SUNT.
35:13
13. INSURREXISTIS SUPER ME, — contra me. Hebræus: Magnificastis os vestrum super me, id est superbe mihi insultastis. Sic dicitur Psalm. LXXII, vers. 8: «Posuerunt in cœlum os suum; et lingua eorum transivit in terra,» q. d. Nulli hominum, vel cœlitum pepercerunt, sed in omnes fuerunt maledici, contra omnes acuerunt et exseruerunt linguam suam virulentam. DEROGASTIS ADVERSUM ME VERBA VESTRA, — detraxistis mihi per verba vestra, quæ adversum me jactastis: iis enim meæ gloriæ derogastis. Simili phrasi dixit Seneca in Præfat. lib. I Natur. Quæstion.: «Derogare aliquid ex lege fatorum:» derogare, id est detrahere. Sic vulgo dicimus, «Derogare fidem,» vel, «gratiam alicui.» Et Tacitus, lib. I: «In commune, ait, nihil derogent.» Simili catachresi scripsit S. Polycarpus epist. ad Philippens.: «Si quis, inquit, deviaverit eloquia Domini ad propria desideria, et dixerit neque resurrectionem, neque judicium esse, hic primogenitus Satanæ est.» Deviaverit, id est detorserit, inflexerit, depravarit. Hebraice est העתרתם hatartem, id est efflagitastis, expostulastis, dura verba multiplicastis contra me, hoc est, superbe et impudenter multa aspera et contumeliosa jactastis contra me, atque gloriam meam. Septuaginta, vociferati estis contra me.
35:14
14. LÆTANTE UNIVERSA TERRA, — q. d. Sicut tu in vastatione Judææ lætatus es: ita faciam ut in tui vastatione aliæ gentes lætentur, gaudeant et exsultent. Æquum enim est, ut qua mensura mensus es aliis, eadem remetiatur tibi. Hoc excidium Idumææ factum est per Nabuchodonosor et Chaldæos, teste Josepho.
35:5
… VI). La descrizione del crollo di Gerusalemme (10-14) piuttosto che ad antecedenti devastazioni fa pensare alla distruzione totale da parte di Nabucodonosor nel 587, quando, secondo Lam. 4, 21 ed Ez. 25, 11; 35, 5-15, Edom plaudi e si arricchì delle spoglie. …
