1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them. 3 Tell the children of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says, "Because you said, ‘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 you to the children of the east for a possession. They will set their encampments in you and make their dwellings in you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk. 5 I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am Yahweh." 6 For the Lord Yahweh says: "Because you have clapped your hands, stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel, 7 therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries. I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh."

8 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ 9 therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim, 10 to 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 I will execute judgments on Moab. Then they will know that I am Yahweh."

12 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them," 13 therefore the Lord Yahweh says, "I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman. They will fall by the sword even to Dedan. 14 I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel. They will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath. Then they will know my vengeance," says the Lord Yahweh.

15 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Because the Philistines have taken revenge, and have taken vengeance with contempt of soul to destroy with perpetual hostility," 16 therefore the Lord Yahweh says, "Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 17 I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I lay my vengeance on them."’"

1 耶和华的话临到我说：

2 "人子啊！ 你要面对亚扪人， 说预言攻击他们。

3 你要对亚扪人说： ‘你们要听主耶和华的话。主耶和华这样说： 我的圣所被亵渎， 以色列地荒凉， 犹大家被掳去的时候， 你说： "哈哈！ "

4 所以我要把你交给东方人作产业； 他们必在你那里安营， 在你那里设立居所； 他们必吃你的果子， 喝你的奶。

5 我必使拉巴成为牧放骆驼的地方， 使亚扪人之地成为羊群躺卧之处。你们就知道我是耶和华。

6 主耶和华这样说： 因为你手舞足蹈， 心存轻蔑， 因以色列地的遭遇而欢喜。

7 所以我必伸手攻击你， 把你交给列国作掠物； 我必从万族中剪除你， 使你从列邦中灭亡； 我必消灭你， 你就知道我是耶和华。’"

8 主耶和华这样说： "因为摩押和西珥说： ‘看哪！ 犹大家与列国毫无分别’，

9 所以我必除去摩押一面的防守， 从边界的城市开始， 就是他们看为那地之荣美的伯．耶西末、巴力．免和基列亭。

10 我必把摩押连同亚扪人一起交给东方人作产业， 使亚扪不再在列国中被记念。

11 我要向摩押施行审判， 他们就知道我是耶和华。"

12 主耶和华这样说： "因为以东向犹大家报仇雪恨。他们这样作， 就犯了大罪。

13 所以主耶和华这样说： 我必伸手攻击以东， 把人和牲畜都从其中剪除； 我必使以东荒凉； 从提幔直到底但， 他们都要倒毙在刀下。

14 我必借着我子民以色列的手报复以东； 以色列人必照着我的怒气， 按着我的烈怒对待以东， 以东人就知道这是我的报复。这是主耶和华的宣告。"

15 主耶和华这样说： "因为非利士人向犹大人报仇雪恨， 心存轻蔑报仇雪恨， 他们永远怀恨， 要毁灭犹大，

16 因此， 主耶和华这样说： 看哪！ 我要伸手攻击非利士人， 剪除基利提人， 消灭沿海剩下的人。

17 我必怒责他们， 向他们大施报复； 我向他们报复的时候， 他们就知道我是耶和华。"
