1 The word about Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer; for in a night Kir of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer.2 The daughter of Dibon has gone up to the high places, weeping: Moab is sounding her cry of sorrow over Nebo, and over Medeba: everywhere the hair of the head and of the face is cut off.3 In their streets they are covering themselves with haircloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their public places, there is crying and bitter weeping.4 Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.5 My heart is crying out for Moab; her people go in flight to Zoar, and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for they go up with weeping by the slope of Luhith; on the way to Horonaim they send up a cry of destruction.6 The waters of Nimrim will become dry: for the grass is burned up, the young grass is coming to an end, every green thing is dead.7 For this cause they will take away their wealth, and the stores they have got together, over the stream of the water-plants.8 For the cry has gone round the limits of Moab; as far as to Eglaim and Beer-elim.9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood: and I'm sending even more on Moab, a lion on those of Moab who go in flight, and on the rest of the land.

1 关于摩押的默示： 一夜之间， 摩押的亚珥受到蹂躏， 就灭亡了！ 一夜之间， 摩押的基珥受到蹂躏， 也灭亡了！ 2 他们进入房子， 又往底本， 上到高处去哭泣， 摩押人为尼波和米底巴哀号； 各人头上都光秃， 胡须剃净。 3 他们在街上都腰束麻布； 在房顶上， 在广场上， 各人都哀号， 流泪痛哭。 4 希实本和以利亚利都呼喊， 他们的声音达到雅杂， 因此摩押配带武器的人大声呼叫， 各人的心都战兢。 5 我的心为摩押哀号， 它的逃民一直去到琐珥， 如同一头三岁大的牝牛， 要挣脱苦轭， 他们登上鲁希的山坡， 随走随哭， 他们在何罗念的路上， 发出灭亡的哀号。 6 因为宁林的众水都已荒凉， 青草枯干， 嫩草灭没， 完全没有青绿之物。 7 所以， 他们把所得的和所积蓄的财富， 都带过了柳树溪。 8 哀号的声音传遍了摩押四境， 哀声直达以基莲， 又传到比珥．以琳。 9 底们的水充满了血， 我还要把更多的灾祸加给底们， 使狮子临到摩押逃难的人和那地余下的人中间。
