1 Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: 2 Filho do homem, volve o rosto contra os filhos de Amom e profetiza contra eles. 3 Dize aos filhos de Amom: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor Deus: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Visto que tu disseste: Bem feito!, acerca do meu santuário, quando foi profanado; acerca da terra de Israel, quando foi assolada; e da casa de Judá, quando foi para o exílio, 4 eis que te entregarei ao poder dos filhos do Oriente, e estabelecerão em ti os seus acampamentos e porão em ti as suas moradas; eles comerão os teus frutos e beberão o teu leite. 5 Farei de Rabá uma estrebaria de camelos e dos filhos de Amom, um curral de ovelhas; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.

6 Porque assim diz o Senhor Deus: Visto como bateste as palmas, e pateaste, e, com toda a malícia de tua alma, te alegraste da terra de Israel, 7 eis que estendi a mão contra ti e te darei por despojo às nações; eliminar-te-ei dentre os povos e te farei perecer dentre as terras. Acabarei de todo contigo, e saberás que eu sou o Senhor.

8 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Visto como dizem Moabe e Seir: Eis que a casa de Judá é como todas as nações, 9 eis que eu abrirei o flanco de Moabe desde as cidades, desde as suas cidades fronteiras, a glória da terra, Bete-Jesimote, Baal-Meom e Quiriataim; 10 dá-las-ei aos povos do Oriente em possessão, como também os filhos de Amom, para que destes não haja memória entre as nações. 11 Também executarei juízos contra Moabe, e os moabitas saberão que eu sou o Senhor.

12 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Visto que Edom se houve vingativamente para com a casa de Judá e se fez culpadíssimo, quando se vingou dela, 13 assim diz o Senhor Deus: Também estenderei a mão contra Edom e eliminarei dele homens e animais; torná-lo-ei deserto, e desde Temã até Dedã cairão à espada. 14 Exercerei a minha vingança contra Edom, por intermédio do meu povo de Israel; este fará em Edom segundo a minha ira e segundo o meu furor; e os edomitas conhecerão a minha vingança, diz o Senhor Deus.

15 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Visto que os filisteus se houveram vingativamente e com desprezo de alma executaram vingança, para destruírem com perpétua inimizade, 16 assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu estendo a mão contra os filisteus, e eliminarei os queretitas, e farei perecer o resto da costa do mar. 17 Tomarei deles grandes vinganças, com furiosas repreensões; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu tiver exercido a minha vingança contra eles.

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.

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 "Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

3 Say to them, 'Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you said "Aha!" over my sanctuary when it was desecrated and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,

4 therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East as a possession. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

5 I will turn Rabbah into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

6 For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,

7 therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.'"

8 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because Moab and Seir said, "Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,"

9 therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns —Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon and Kiriathaim —the glory of that land.

10 I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations;

11 and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"

12 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because Edom took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so,

13 therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill both man and beast. I will lay it waste, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

14 I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign LORD.'"

15 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because the Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah,

16 therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will wipe out the Kerethites and destroy those remaining along the coast.

17 I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I take vengeance on them.'"
