1 论到摩押， 万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说： "尼波有祸了！ 因为它变为荒凉； 基列亭蒙受羞辱， 被占领了； 这城堡（"这城堡"或译： "米斯迦"）蒙受羞辱， 被毁坏。 2 摩押不再被人称赞； 敌人在希实本计谋害它， 说： ‘来吧！ 我们要把它剪除， 使它不再成国！ ’玛得缅哪！ 你也要静默无声； 刀剑必追赶你。 3 从何罗念传出哀号的声音， 说： ‘荒凉了， 大大毁灭了！ ’ 4 摩押毁灭了， 它的孩童发出哀叫（"它的孩童发出哀叫"或参照《七十士译本》译作"哀叫之声直达琐珥"）。 5 在上鲁希的路上， 摩押人随走随哭； 从何罗念下来的途中， 听见他们因城被毁发出凄惨的哀号声。" 6 你们要逃跑， 赶快逃命吧！ 你们好像旷野的灌木。 7 你因为倚靠你的成就和财富， 就必被攻取； 基抹必被掳去， 事奉它的祭司和领袖都必一同被掳去。 8 行毁灭的必来攻击一切城镇， 没有一座城可以幸免； 山谷必被蹂躏， 平原必受破坏， 正如耶和华所说的。 9 你们要在摩押上面撒盐， 因为它必成为废墟（"你们要在摩押上面撒盐， 因为它必成为废墟"或译： "你们要把翅膀给摩押， 因为它必飞去"）； 它的城镇必成为荒凉， 没有人在里面居住。 10 不努力去作耶和华的工作的， 该受咒诅； 不使自己的刀剑见血的， 应受咒诅。 11 摩押自年幼以来常享安逸， 像不受搅扰的酒在缸里澄清， 从没有倒进另一个缸里去， 它也从没有被人掳去。因此它仍保留着原味， 它的芬芳没有改变失去。 12 "看哪！ 日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告）， 我必差派倒酒的人到它那里去， 把它倒出来， 直至倒空， 又把酒缸打碎。 13 摩押必因基抹羞愧， 好像以色列家因他们可倚靠的伯特利的神像羞愧一样。 14 你们怎么说： ‘我们是勇士， 是善战的武士’？ 15 摩押被毁灭； 敌人上来攻击它的城镇； 摩押最精锐的少年下去被屠杀。"这是君王的宣告， 他的名是万军之耶和华。 16 "摩押的灾难已经临近了， 它的祸患迅速来到。 17 所有在它四围的， 所有认识它名的， 你们都要为它哀悼， 说： ‘那有能力的权杖、华美的杖竟然折断了！ ’ 18 住在底本的人民哪！ 要从你们荣耀的位上下来， 坐在干旱的地上（"干旱的地上"原文作"干渴"）， 因为毁灭摩押的要上来攻击你们， 摧毁你们的坚固城。 19 亚罗珥的居民哪！ 要站在路旁观望， 询问那些正在逃跑的男女， 说： ‘发生了什么事？’ 20 摩押蒙受羞辱， 因为它已被毁灭了。你们要哀号喊叫， 要在亚嫩河宣告： ‘摩押毁灭了。’ 21 审判临到了平原之地， 就是何伦、雅杂、米法押、 22 底本、尼波、伯．低比拉太音、 23 基列亭、伯．迦末、伯．米恩、 24 加略、波斯拉和摩押地远近所有城市。 25 摩押的角被砍下， 它的膀臂被折断了。"这是耶和华的宣告。 26 你们要使摩押沉醉， 因为它向耶和华妄自尊大； 摩押必跌在自己所吐之物上面， 也必成为被人讥笑的对象。 27 摩押啊， 以色列不是曾经成为你讥笑的对象吗？它岂是被捕获的强盗， 以致你每逢提到它， 总是摇头嘲笑。 28 摩押的居民哪！ 你们要离弃城镇， 住在山岩里， 像鸽子在峡谷的边上筑巢。 29 我们听说摩押的骄傲， 它非常骄傲； 我们听到它的狂妄、骄傲、傲慢和心里的自高。 30 "我洞悉它的狂傲（这是耶和华的宣告）， 它的狂傲毫无根据， 它的夸耀不能成事。 31 因此我要为摩押哀号， 为全摩押喊叫， 为吉珥．哈列设人（"为吉珥．哈列设人"有古抄本作"他为吉珥．哈列设人"）唉哼。 32 西比玛的葡萄树啊！ 我要你哀哭比人为雅谢哀哭更厉害。你的枝子伸展过海， 延伸到雅谢（"雅谢"有古抄本作"雅谢海"）； 那行毁灭的要来摧毁你夏天的果子和你的葡萄。 33 摩押肥沃的土地上不再有欢喜和快乐； 我使榨酒池不再流出酒； 再没有人欢呼踹酒； 有人呼喊， 却不是踹酒的欢呼声。 34 "希实本的哀叫传到以利亚利， 他们发出的声音传到雅杂， 从琐珥达到何罗谷和伊基拉．施利施亚； 因为连宁林的河水也都干涸了。 35 我要灭绝在摩押那些邱坛上献祭和向他们的神烧香的。"这是耶和华的宣告。 36 "因此， 我的心为摩押呜咽， 好像人用笛吹挽歌； 我的心为吉珥．哈列设人呜咽， 好像人用笛吹挽歌； 因为他们所得的财宝都失掉了。 37 他们各人的头都剃光了， 胡须也剃掉了， 他们割伤了自己的手， 腰束麻布。 38 摩押境内一切房顶上和广场上， 处处都有哀哭的声音； 因为我击碎了摩押， 好像打碎没有人要的器皿。"这是耶和华的宣告。 39 摩押的毁灭多么厉害， 他们的哀号多么凄惨！ 摩押怎样蒙羞转背！ 这样摩押就成了它四围众人讥笑和惊骇的对象。" 40 因为耶和华这样说： "看哪！ 必有一人像大鹰疾飞， 展开翅膀攻击摩押。 41 城市被攻取， 坚垒被占领； 在那日， 摩押勇士的心必惊慌， 像临产妇人的心一样。 42 摩押必被摧毁， 不再成为一个民族， 因为它向耶和华妄自尊大。 43 摩押的居民哪！ 恐惧、陷阱、圈套都落在你们身上了。"这是耶和华的宣告。 44 "那逃避恐惧的， 必跌进陷阱； 那从陷阱中出来的， 必被圈套困着。因为我必使摩押受惩罚的年日临到它。"这是耶和华的宣告。 45 "在希实本的隐蔽处， 难民精疲力尽地站着； 因为有火从希实本发出， 有火焰从西宏的宫中冒出来， 吞灭了摩押的前额， 和吵闹的人的头顶。 46 摩押啊， 你有祸了！ 基抹的人民灭亡了！ 因为你的众子都被掳去了， 你的众女儿也都被掳去了。 47 但日后， 我必使被掳的摩押人归回。"这是耶和华的宣告。有关摩押的宣判到这里为止。

1 Concerning Moab: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Wo unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath been broken down.2 There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.3 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.4 Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.5 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.6 Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.7 For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads together.8 And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.9 Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.10 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.11 Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath not been changed.12 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they dash in pieces.13 And ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have been ashamed Because of Beth-El their confidence.14 How do ye say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?15 Spoiled is Moab, and her cities hath one gone up, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.16 Near is the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction hath hasted exceedingly.17 Bemoan for him, all ye round about him, And all knowing his name, say ye: How hath it been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty.18 Come down from honour, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab hath come up to thee, He hath destroyed thy fenced places.19 On the way stand, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What hath happened?20 Put to shame hath been Moab, For it hath been broken down, Howl and cry, declare ye in Arnon, For spoiled is Moab,21 And judgment hath come in unto the land of the plain -- unto Holon, And unto Jahazah, and on Mephaath,22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,23 And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.25 Cut down hath been the horn of Moab, And his arm hath been broken, An affirmation of Jehovah.26 Declare ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath been for a derision -- even he.27 And was not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan thyself.28 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, Ye inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit`s mouth.29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceeding proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,30 I -- I have known, an affirmation of Jehovah, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His devices -- not right they have done.31 Therefore for Moab I howl, even for Moab -- all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it doth mourn,32 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest, A spoiler hath fallen.33 And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no shouting!34 Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become desolations.35 And I have caused to cease to Moab, An affirmation of Jehovah, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making perfume to his god.36 Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.37 For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins -- sackcloth.38 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it -- [is] lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure, An affirmation of Jehovah.39 How hath it been broken down! they have howled, How hath Moab turned the neck ashamed, And Moab hath been for a derision. And for a terror to all round about her.40 For thus said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto Moab.41 Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.42 And Moab hath been destroyed from [being] a people, For against Jehovah he exerted himself.43 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [are] for thee, O inhabitant of Moab -- an affirmation of Jehovah,44 Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her -- unto Moab -- The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.45 In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.46 Wo to thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh, For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy daughters with the captivity.47 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days, An affirmation of Jehovah! Hitherto [is] the judgment of Moab.
