1 En die woord van die HERE het tot my gekom en gesê:
2 Mensekind, rig jou aangesig teen die kinders van Ammon, en profeteer teen hulle.
3 En sê aan die kinders van Ammon: Hoor die woord van die Here HERE. So spreek die Here HERE: Omdat jy ha, ha! geroep het oor my heiligdom, omdat dit ontheilig is, en oor die land van Israel, omdat dit verwoes is, en oor die huis van Juda, omdat hulle in ballingskap gegaan het --
4 daarom, kyk, Ek gee jou oor aan die kinders van die Ooste as 'n besitting, dat hulle hul laers in jou opslaan en hul wonings in jou maak; hulle sal jou vrugte eet, en hulle sal jou melk drink.
5 En Ek sal Rabba 'n weiveld maak vir kamele en die kinders van Ammon 'n lêplek vir kleinvee, en julle sal weet dat Ek die HERE is.
6 Want so sê die Here HERE: Omdat jy in die hand geklap en met die voet gestamp het en bly was met volle veragting in die siel oor die land van Israel --
7 daarom, kyk, Ek strek my hand teen jou uit en gee jou as buit vir die nasies, en Ek sal jou uitroei uit die volke en jou uit die lande verdelg; Ek sal jou vernietig, en jy sal weet dat Ek die HERE is.
8 So spreek die Here HERE: Omdat Moab en Se‹r sê: Kyk, die huis van Juda is soos al die nasies --
9 daarom, kyk, Ek maak die berghange van Moab oop, dat dit sonder stede is, sonder sy stede in sy hele gebied, die sieraad van die land: Bet-J,simot, Ba„l-Meon en tot Kirjat im toe;
10 aan die kinders van die Ooste sal Ek dit, saam met die kinders van Ammon, as besitting gee, sodat die kinders van Ammon nie meer genoem sal word onder die nasies nie.
11 Ek sal ook in Moab strafgerigte voltrek; en hulle sal weet dat Ek die HERE is.
12 So sê die Here HERE: Omdat Edom wraaksugtig gehandel het teen die huis van Juda en hom baie skuldig gemaak het en hom op hulle gewreek het --
13 daarom, so sê die Here HERE: Ek sal my hand uitstrek teen Edom en daaruit mens en dier uitroei; en Ek sal dit 'n puinhoop maak van Teman af, en tot by Dedan sal hulle deur die swaard val.
14 En Ek sal my wraak op Edom in die hand van my volk Israel gee, en hulle sal met Edom handel volgens my toorn en my grimmigheid; so sal hulle dan my wraak gewaar word, spreek die Here HERE.
15 So sê die Here HERE: Omdat die Filistyne wraaksugtig gehandel het en hulle erg gewreek het met veragting in die siel, om te verwoes met ewige vyandskap --
16 daarom, so sê die Here HERE: Kyk, Ek strek my hand uit teen die Filistyne en sal die Kretiërs uitroei en die oorblyfsel van die seekus vernietig.
17 En Ek sal gedugte wraak aan hulle oefen met grimmige strawwe; en hulle sal weet dat Ek die HERE is as Ek my wraak oor hulle bring.
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them: 3 and say unto the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity: 4 therefore, behold, I will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. 5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 6 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land of Israel; 7 therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
8 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the nations; 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, 10 unto the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations: 11 and I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
12 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; 13 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, I will stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword. 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 wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity; 16 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
