13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
You inhabitant of (A)Lachish—
She was the beginning of sin
To the daughter of Zion—
Because in you were found
The (B)rebellious acts of Israel.
14 Therefore you will give parting (C)gifts
In behalf of Moresheth-gath;
The houses of (D)Achzib will become a [a](E)deception
To the kings of Israel.
15 Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
You inhabitant of [b](F)Mareshah.
The glory of Israel will enter (G)Adullam.

13 拉吉的居民啊,
用骏马套车逃命吧!
是你们首先唆使锡安城犯罪,
在你们身上看到了以色列的罪恶。
14 去向摩利设·迦特赠送告别礼物吧!
亚革悉人必令以色列诸王受骗上当。
15 玛利沙的居民啊,
我要使征服者到你们那里。
以色列的领袖[a]要躲到亚杜兰。
