1 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

2 Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filios Ammon, et prophetabis de eis.

3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;

3 Et dices filiis Ammon: Audite verbum Domini Dei.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Pro eo quod dixisti: Euge, euge,
super sanctuarium meum, quia pollutum est;
et super terram Israël, quoniam desolata est;
et super domum Juda, quoniam ducti sunt in captivitatem:

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.

4 idcirco ego tradam te filiis orientalibus in hæreditatem:
et collocabunt caulas suas in te,
et ponent in te tentoria sua:
ipsi comedent fruges tuas,
et ipsi bibent lac tuum.

5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

5 Daboque Rabbath in habitaculum camelorum,
et filios Ammon in cubile pecorum:
et scietis quia ego Dominus.

6 For thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

6 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Pro eo quod plausisti manu et percussisti pede,
et gavisa es ex toto affectu super terram Israël,

7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

7 idcirco ecce ego extendam manum meam super te,
et tradam te in direptionem gentium,
et interficiam te de populis,
et perdam de terris, et conteram:
et scies quia ego Dominus.

8 ¶ Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

8 ¶ Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Pro eo quod dixerunt Moab et Seir:
Ecce sicut omnes gentes, domus Juda:

9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,

9 idcirco ecce ego aperiam humerum Moab de civitatibus,
de civitatibus, inquam, ejus, et de finibus ejus,
inclytas terræ Bethiesimoth, et Beelmeon, et Cariathaim,

10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

10 filiis orientis cum filiis Ammon,
et dabo eam in hæreditatem,
ut non sit ultra memoria filiorum Ammon in gentibus.

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

11 Et in Moab faciam judicia,
et scient quia ego Dominus.

12 ¶ Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

12 ¶ Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Pro eo quod fecit Idumæa ultionem ut se vindicaret de filiis Juda,
peccavitque delinquens,
et vindictam expetivit de eis:

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

13 idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Extendam manum meam super Idumæam,
et auferam de ea hominem et jumentum,
et faciam eam desertam ab austro:
et qui sunt in Dedan, gladio cadent.

14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.

14 Et dabo ultionem meam super Idumæam
per manum populi mei Israël:
et facient in Edom juxta iram meam et furorem meum,
et scient vindictam meam,
dicit Dominus Deus.

15 ¶ Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;

15 ¶ Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Pro eo quod fecerunt Palæstini vindictam,
et ulti se sunt toto animo,
interficientes, et implentes inimicitias veteres,

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

16 propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego extendam manum meam super Palæstinos,
et interficiam interfectores,
et perdam reliquias maritimæ regionis,

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

17 faciamque in eis ultiones magnas,
arguens in furore:
et scient quia ego Dominus,
cum dedero vindictam meam super eos.
