1 Yahweh says:
"For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 but I will send a fire on Moab,
and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth;
and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3 and I will cut off the judge from among them,
and will kill all its princes with him,"
says Yahweh.
4 Yahweh says:
"For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
because they have rejected Yahweh’s law,
and have not kept his statutes,
and their lies have led them astray,
after which their fathers walked;
5 but I will send a fire on Judah,
and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
6 Yahweh says:
"For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
because they have sold the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals;
7 They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth
and deny justice to the oppressed.
A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
8 They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge.
In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars,
and he was strong as the oaks;
yet I destroyed his fruit from above,
and his roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
and some of your young men for Nazirites.
Isn’t this true,
you children of Israel?" says Yahweh.
12 "But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13 Behold, I will crush you in your place,
as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 Flight will perish from the swift.
The strong won’t strengthen his force.
The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15 He who handles the bow won’t stand.
He who is swift of foot won’t escape.
He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16 He who is courageous among the mighty
will flee away naked on that day,"
says Yahweh.
1 "耶和华这样说： ‘摩押三番四次犯罪， 我必不收回惩罚他的命令； 因为他把以东王的骸骨焚烧成灰。
2 我必降火在摩押， 烧毁加略的堡垒； 在扰攘、吶喊、吹角声中， 摩押必被消灭。
3 我必剪除他的掌权者， 也把他所有的领袖一同杀死。’这是耶和华说的。
4 "耶和华这样说： ‘犹大三番四次犯罪， 我必不收回惩罚他的命令； 因为他弃绝耶和华的律法， 不遵守他的典章； 反被他们列祖跟从的偶像， 使他们走错了路。
5 我必降火在犹大， 烧毁耶路撒冷的堡垒。’
6 "耶和华这样说： ‘以色列三番四次犯罪， 我必不收回惩罚他的命令； 因为他为了银子卖义人， 为了一双鞋卖穷人。
7 他们践踏穷人的头， 好像践踏地面的尘土； 他们把困苦人应有的权益夺去； 儿子和父亲与同一个女子亲近， 故意亵渎我的圣名。
8 他们在各祭坛旁， 躺卧在别人抵押的衣服上面； 在他们 神的殿中， 饮用拿剥削回来的钱所买的酒。
9 我不是在他们面前把亚摩利人消灭了吗？亚摩利人虽像香柏树高大， 像橡树那样坚固； 我却要灭绝它树上的果子， 拔除树下的根。
10 我不是带你们出埃及地， 领你们在旷野度过四十年， 叫你们得着亚摩利人的地为业吗？
11 我从你们子孙中兴起先知， 从年轻人中兴起拿细耳人； 以色列人哪！ 这不是事实吗？’这是耶和华的宣告。
12 ‘但你们迫使拿细耳人喝酒， 吩咐先知说： 不要说预言。
13 看哪！ 我要使你脚下的地摇荡， 好像满载禾捆的车子摇荡一样。
14 行动迅速的不能逃走， 强而有力的不能施展他的勇力， 勇士也不能救自己；
15 拿弓的人站立不住， 跑得快的不能逃走， 骑马的也不能救自己。
16 到那日， 最勇敢的战士， 也是赤身逃跑。’这是耶和华的宣告。"
