对摩押的审判
1耶和华说：
“摩押人三番四次地犯罪，
我必不收回对他们的惩罚，
因为他们把以东王的骸骨焚烧成灰。
2所以我要降火在摩押，
烧毁加略的城堡。
摩押要在战争的喧嚣、吶喊和号角声中灭亡。
3我要铲除摩押的君王，
杀死那里所有的首领。
这是耶和华说的。”
对犹大的审判
4耶和华说：
“犹大人三番四次地犯罪，
我必不收回对他们的惩罚，
因为他们厌弃耶和华的训诲，
不遵守我的律例。
他们祖先祭拜的偶像使他们走入歧途。
5所以我要降火在犹大，
烧毁耶路撒冷的城堡。”
对以色列的审判
6耶和华说：
“以色列人三番四次地犯罪，
我必不收回对他们的惩罚，
因为他们为了银子卖掉义人，
为了一双鞋子卖掉穷人。
7他们践踏穷人如同践踏地上的尘土，
使卑微的人无处申冤；
父子同淫一女，亵渎我的圣名。
8在每座祭坛旁边，
他们把穷人典当的衣服铺开，躺在上面，
又在上帝的殿里喝剥削来的酒。
9“以色列人啊，
我在你们面前消灭了亚摩利人。
虽然他们像香柏树那样高大，
如橡树那样强壮，
但我灭尽了他们的果子，
砍断了他们的根。
10我带领你们离开埃及，
在旷野引导你们四十年，
使你们得到亚摩利人的土地。
11我从你们的子孙中拣选先知，
从你们的青年中拣选拿细耳人2:11 拿细耳人的详情参见民数记6:1-8。。
以色列人啊，难道不是这样吗？
这是耶和华说的。
12可是，你们迫使拿细耳人喝酒，
禁止先知传达我的话。
13看啊，我要压碎你们，
如满载谷物的车轧过一样。
14快捷的无法逃遁，
强壮的无力可施，
勇猛的救不了自己，
15拉弓的站立不住，
腿快的无法逃脱，
骑马的救不了自己。
16到那日，
最勇猛的战士也要丢盔弃甲，仓皇逃命。
这是耶和华说的。
1The Lord says,
“The people of Moab have sinned again and again.
So I will judge them.
They burned the bones
of Edom’s king to ashes.
2So I will send fire to destroy Moab.
It will burn up Kerioth’s forts.
Moab will come crashing down with a loud noise.
War cries will be heard.
So will the blast of trumpets.
3I will kill Moab’s ruler.
I will also kill all its officials,”
says the Lord.
4The Lord says,
“The people of Judah have sinned again and again.
So I will judge them.
They have refused to obey my law.
They have not kept my rules.
Other gods have led them astray.
Their people of long ago
worshiped those gods.
5So I will send fire to destroy Judah.
It will burn up Jerusalem’s forts.”
The Lord Judges Israel
6The Lord says,
“The people of Israel have sinned again and again.
So I will judge them.
They sell into slavery those who have done no wrong.
They trade needy people
for a mere pair of sandals.
7They grind the heads of the poor
into the dust of the ground.
They refuse to be fair to those who are crushed.
A father and his son have sex with the same girl.
They treat my name as if it were not holy.
8They lie down beside every altar on clothes they have taken.
They lie on those clothes
until the owner pays back what is owed.
In the house of their God
they drink wine that was paid as fines.
9“Yet I destroyed the Amorites
to make room in the land for my people.
The Amorites were as tall as cedar trees.
They were as strong as oak trees.
But I cut off their fruit above the ground
and their roots below it.
10“People of Israel, I brought you up out of Egypt.
I led you in the desert for 40 years.
I gave you the land of the Amorites.
11I raised up prophets from among your children.
I also set apart for myself some of your young people to be Nazirites.
Isn’t that true, people of Israel?”
announces the Lord.
12“But you made the Nazirites drink wine.
You commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
13“A cart that is loaded with grain
crushes anything it runs over.
In the same way, I will crush you.
14Your fastest runners will not escape.
The strongest people will not get away.
Even soldiers will not be able
to save their own lives.
15Men who are armed with bows will lose the battle.
Soldiers who are quick on their feet will not escape.
Horsemen will not be able
to save their own lives.
16Even your bravest soldiers
will run away naked on that day,”
announces the Lord.
