1论。万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:尼波有祸了!因变为荒场。基列亭蒙羞被攻取;米斯迦蒙羞被毁坏;Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.

2摩押不再被称赞。有人在设计谋害她,说:来吧!我们将她剪除,不再成国。玛得缅哪,你也必默默无声;刀剑必追赶你。There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.

3从何罗念有喊荒凉大毁灭的哀声:A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’

4摩押毁灭了!她的孩童(或译:家僮)发哀声,使人听见。Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.

5人上鲁希坡随走随哭,因为在何罗念的下坡听见毁灭的哀声。For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:

6你们要奔逃,自救性命,独自居住,好像旷野的。‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’

7你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的财宝必被攻取。基抹和属他的祭司、首领也要一同被掳去。Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.

8行毁灭的必来到各城,并无一城得免。山谷必致败落,平原必被毁坏;正如耶和华所说的。The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.

9要将翅膀给摩押,使她可以飞去。她的城邑必致荒凉,无人居住。Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.

10(为耶和华行事的,必受咒诅;禁止刀剑不经血的,必受咒诅。)Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.

11摩押自幼年以来常享安逸,如酒在上澄清,没有从这器皿倒在那器皿里,也未曾被掳去。因此,它的原味尚存,香气未变。Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.

12耶和华说:“日子将到,我必打发倒酒的往她那里去,将她倒出来,倒空她的器皿,打碎她的坛子。Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.

13摩押必因羞愧,像以色列家从前倚靠的神羞愧一样。Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.

14你们怎么说:我们是勇士,是有勇力打仗的呢?How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?

15摩押变为荒场,敌人上去进了她的城邑。她所特选的少年人下去遭了杀戮;这是君王—名为万军之耶和华说的。Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.

16摩押的灾殃临近;她的苦难速速来到。Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.

17凡在她四围的和认识她名的,你们都要为她悲伤,说:那和那美好的棍,何竟折断了呢?Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered—the glorious staff!

18住在底本的民(原文是女子)哪,要从你荣耀的位上下来,坐受干渴;因毁灭摩押的上来攻击你,毁坏了你的保障。Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.

19住亚罗珥的啊,要站在道旁观望,问逃避的男人和逃脱的女人说:是什么事呢?Stand by the road and watch, O dweller of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, ‘What has happened?’

20摩押因毁坏蒙羞;你们要哀号呼喊,要在旁报告说:摩押变为荒场!Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.

21“刑罚临到平原之地的何伦、雅杂、米法押、Judgment has come upon the high plain—upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,

22底本、尼波、伯·低比拉太音、upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,

23基列亭、伯·迦末、伯·米恩、upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,

24加略、波斯拉,和摩押地远近所有的城邑。upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near.

25砍断了,摩押的膀臂折断了。这是耶和华说的。”The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,” declares the LORD.

26“你们要使摩押沉醉,因他向耶和华夸大。他要在自己所吐之中打滚,又要被人。“Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.

27摩押啊,你不曾嗤笑以色列吗?她岂是在贼中查出来的呢?你每逢提到她便摇头。Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.

28摩押的居民哪,要离开城邑,住在山崖里,像鸽子在深渊口上搭窝。Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.

29我们听说摩押人骄傲,是极其骄傲;听说他自高自傲,并且狂妄,居心自大。We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.

30耶和华说:我知道他的忿怒是虚空的;他夸大的话一无所成。I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.

31因此,我要为摩押哀号,为摩押全地呼喊;人必为吉珥·哈列设人叹息。Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.

32西比玛的葡萄树啊,我为你哀哭,甚于雅谢人哀哭。你的枝子蔓延过海,直长到雅谢海。那行毁灭的已经临到你夏天的果子和你所摘的葡萄。I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.

33肥田和摩押地的欢喜快乐都被夺去;我使酒榨的酒绝流,无人踹酒欢呼;那欢呼却变为仇敌的呐喊(原文是那欢呼却不是欢呼)。Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.

34“希实本人发的哀声达到以利亚利,直达到雅杂;从琐珥达到何罗念,直到伊基拉·施利施亚,因为宁林的水必然干涸。”There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.

35耶和华说:“我必在摩押地使那在邱坛献祭的,和那向他的神烧香的都断绝了。In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.

36我心腹为摩押,我心肠为吉珥·哈列设人也是如此,因摩押人所得的财物都灭没了。Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.

37“各人头上光秃,胡须剪短,手有划伤,腰束麻布。For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.

38在摩押的各房顶上和街市上处处有人哀哭;因我打碎摩押,好像打碎无人喜悦的器皿。这是耶和华说的。On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,” declares the LORD.

39摩押何等毁坏!何等哀号!何等羞愧转背!这样,摩押必令四围的人嗤笑惊骇。”“How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”

40耶和华如此说:仇敌必如大鹰飞起,展开翅膀,攻击摩押。For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.

41加略被攻取,保障也被占据。到那日,摩押的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

42摩押必被毁灭,不再成国,因他向耶和华夸大。Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.

43耶和华说:摩押的居民哪,都临近你。Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,” declares the LORD.

44躲避恐惧的必坠入陷坑;从陷坑上来的必被网罗缠住;因我必使追讨之年临到摩押。这是耶和华说的。“Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,” declares the LORD.

45躲避的人无力站在希实本的影下;因为有火从希实本发出,有火焰出于西宏的城,烧尽摩押的角和人的头顶。“Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.

46摩押啊,你有祸了!属基抹的民灭亡了!因你的众子都被掳去,你的众女也被掳去。Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; for your sons have been taken into exile and your daughters have gone into captivity.

47耶和华说:到末后,我还要使被掳的摩押人归回。摩押受审判的话到此为止。Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
