關於摩押的預言
48 論到摩押，以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說：
「尼波大禍臨頭了！
它必被毀滅；
基列亭必蒙羞淪陷，
堡壘必蒙羞被毀。
2 摩押不再受稱讚，
敵人在希實本圖謀害她，說，
『來吧！我們剷除這個國家。』
瑪得緬啊，你也將被敵人追殺，
變得死寂無聲。
3 「從何羅念傳來呼喊聲，
『荒涼了！毀滅了！』
4 摩押滅亡了，
她的孩童放聲哀哭。
5 摩押人痛哭著走上魯希坡，
他們在何羅念的山坡下聽見悲慘的哀號。
6 逃命吧！藏到曠野去吧！
7 摩押啊，你要被攻佔，
因為你倚仗自己的成就和財富。
你的神明基抹及供奉它的祭司和官長都要被擄去。
8 所有的城邑必被毀滅，
無一倖免；
山谷遭踐踏，
平原被蹂躪。
這是耶和華說的。
9 「給摩押翅膀讓她飛走吧[a]，
因為她的城邑將淪為廢墟，
杳無人跡。
10 不殷勤地為耶和華做工，
不揮刀斬殺摩押人的必受咒詛。
11 「摩押自幼常享安逸，
從未被擄到別處，
好像沉澱的酒沒有被從這缸倒到那缸，
味道依舊，香氣未變。
12 「不過，看啊，時候將到，我要派倒酒的人去把她倒出來，倒空酒缸，把缸打碎。這是耶和華說的。 13 摩押人必因他們的神明基抹而羞愧，就像以色列人因信靠伯特利的神像而羞愧一樣。
14 「摩押人啊，
你們怎能自稱為驍勇善戰的英雄呢？
15 摩押要滅亡了，
她的城邑要被摧毀，
她最勇敢的青年將被殺戮。
這是名叫萬軍之耶和華的君王說的。
16 摩押快要被毀滅了，
災難就要來臨。
17 她的近鄰和知道她名望的人啊，
你們都要為她哀悼，
『那強大、輝煌的權勢竟然崩潰了！』
18 「底本的居民啊，
你們要從榮耀的位子上下來，
坐在乾旱的地上，
因為毀滅摩押的要來攻擊你們，
摧毀你們的堡壘。
19 亞羅珥的居民啊！
你們要站在路旁觀望，
詢問逃難的男女究竟發生了什麼事。
20 你們會得知摩押淪陷了，
她羞愧難當。
你們哀傷痛哭吧！
你們要在亞嫩河邊宣告，
『摩押滅亡了！』
21 「審判降臨在平原上的何倫、雅雜、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、波斯拉等摩押各地的城邑。 25 摩押的權勢被粉碎了，她的力量被摧毀了。這是耶和華說的。
26 「你們要灌醉她，因為她藐視耶和華。她必在自己的嘔吐物中打滾，被人恥笑。 27 摩押啊，你不是曾經嘲笑以色列嗎？以色列難道是強盜嗎？你每次談到她總是不屑地搖頭。
28 「摩押人啊，
你們要離開城邑，住到岩洞裡，
像鴿子在岩縫裡築巢一樣。
29 我們聽說摩押人傲氣沖天，
他們狂妄自大、心中高傲。
30 我知道狂傲的摩押不過是外強中乾，
她的誇耀不過是虛張聲勢。
這是耶和華說的。
31 因此，我要為她哀號，
為摩押人痛哭，
為吉珥·哈列設人悲傷。
32 西比瑪的葡萄樹啊，
我為你們比為雅謝人哭得更悲痛！
你們的枝條雖然延伸到大海，
一直到雅謝，
但毀滅者已在蹂躪你們夏日的果子了！
33 摩押的沃土上再沒有歡喜快樂的聲音。
我使榨酒池不出酒，
再沒有踩踏葡萄的歡呼聲，
歡呼被呐喊取代。
34 「哀哭聲從希實本傳到以利亞利和雅雜，又從瑣珥傳到何羅念和伊基拉·施利施亞，因為連寧林的水也乾涸了。」 35 耶和華說：「我要滅絕摩押那些在邱壇獻祭和向假神燒香的人。 36 我的心為摩押悲鳴，好像淒涼的簫聲；我的心為吉珥·哈列設人悲鳴，他們的一切財富都消失了。 37 他們都悲哀地剃去髮鬚，割傷雙手，腰束麻布。 38 在摩押境內的屋頂和街頭巷尾，哀聲處處可聞，因為我已把摩押打得粉碎，好像打碎沒人要的器皿。這是耶和華說的。 39 摩押破碎不堪！她嚎啕痛哭，羞愧難當，令四圍的人嗤笑、驚懼。」
40 耶和華說：
「看啊，敵人必像展翅疾飛的大鷹一樣來攻擊摩押。
41 他們要攻取城池，佔領堡壘。
那時，摩押的勇士像臨盆的婦人一樣心驚膽戰。
42 摩押必被摧毀，徹底滅亡，
因為她藐視耶和華。
43 摩押人啊！
你們要充滿恐懼，
陷入深坑和網羅。
這是耶和華說的。
44 逃過驚恐的必落入深坑，
爬出深坑的必陷入網羅，
因為我懲罰摩押的時候到了。
這是耶和華說的。
45 「逃難的人來到希實本，
無助地站著，
因為希實本烈焰熊熊，
西宏的城火光沖天，
燒毀了摩押和其中的叛逆之人。
46 拜基抹神明的摩押人啊，
你們有禍了！
你們滅亡了！
你們的兒女都被擄去了。
47 但將來，我要使你們重整家園。
這是耶和華說的。」
對摩押的審判到此為止。

A Message About Moab(A)
48 Concerning Moab:(B)
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
“Woe to Nebo,(C) for it will be ruined.
Kiriathaim(D) will be disgraced and captured;
the stronghold[a] will be disgraced and shattered.
2 Moab will be praised(E) no more;
in Heshbon[b](F) people will plot her downfall:
‘Come, let us put an end to that nation.’(G)
You, the people of Madmen,[c] will also be silenced;
the sword will pursue you.
3 Cries of anguish arise from Horonaim,(H)
cries of great havoc and destruction.
4 Moab will be broken;
her little ones will cry out.[d]
5 They go up the hill to Luhith,(I)
weeping bitterly as they go;
on the road down to Horonaim(J)
anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
6 Flee!(K) Run for your lives;
become like a bush[e] in the desert.(L)
7 Since you trust in your deeds and riches,(M)
you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh(N) will go into exile,(O)
together with his priests and officials.(P)
8 The destroyer(Q) will come against every town,
and not a town will escape.
The valley will be ruined
and the plateau(R) destroyed,
because the Lord has spoken.
9 Put salt(S) on Moab,
for she will be laid waste[f];(T)
her towns will become desolate,
with no one to live in them.
10 “A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!
A curse on anyone who keeps their sword(U) from bloodshed!(V)
11 “Moab has been at rest(W) from youth,
like wine left on its dregs,(X)
not poured from one jar to another—
she has not gone into exile.
So she tastes as she did,
and her aroma is unchanged.
12 But days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I will send men who pour from pitchers,
and they will pour her out;
they will empty her pitchers
and smash her jars.
13 Then Moab will be ashamed(Y) of Chemosh,(Z)
as Israel was ashamed
when they trusted in Bethel.(AA)
14 “How can you say, ‘We are warriors,(AB)
men valiant in battle’?
15 Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded;
her finest young men(AC) will go down in the slaughter,(AD)”
declares the King,(AE) whose name is the Lord Almighty.(AF)
16 “The fall of Moab is at hand;(AG)
her calamity will come quickly.
17 Mourn for her, all who live around her,
all who know her fame;(AH)
say, ‘How broken is the mighty scepter,(AI)
how broken the glorious staff!’
18 “Come down from your glory
and sit on the parched ground,(AJ)
you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon,(AK)
for the one who destroys Moab
will come up against you
and ruin your fortified cities.(AL)
19 Stand by the road and watch,
you who live in Aroer.(AM)
Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping,
ask them, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered.
Wail(AN) and cry out!
Announce by the Arnon(AO)
that Moab is destroyed.
21 Judgment has come to the plateau(AP)—
to Holon,(AQ) Jahzah(AR) and Mephaath,(AS)
22 to Dibon,(AT) Nebo(AU) and Beth Diblathaim,
23 to Kiriathaim,(AV) Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,(AW)
24 to Kerioth(AX) and Bozrah(AY)—
to all the towns(AZ) of Moab, far and near.
25 Moab’s horn[g](BA) is cut off;
her arm(BB) is broken,”
declares the Lord.
26 “Make her drunk,(BC)
for she has defied(BD) the Lord.
Let Moab wallow in her vomit;(BE)
let her be an object of ridicule.(BF)
27 Was not Israel the object of your ridicule?(BG)
Was she caught among thieves,(BH)
that you shake your head(BI) in scorn(BJ)
whenever you speak of her?
28 Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks,
you who live in Moab.
Be like a dove(BK) that makes its nest
at the mouth of a cave.(BL)
29 “We have heard of Moab’s pride(BM)—
how great is her arrogance!—
of her insolence, her pride, her conceit
and the haughtiness(BN) of her heart.
30 I know her insolence but it is futile,”
declares the Lord,
“and her boasts(BO) accomplish nothing.
31 Therefore I wail(BP) over Moab,
for all Moab I cry out,
I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.(BQ)
32 I weep for you, as Jazer(BR) weeps,
you vines of Sibmah.(BS)
Your branches spread as far as the sea[h];
they reached as far as[i] Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
on your ripened fruit and grapes.
33 Joy and gladness are gone
from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine(BT) from the presses;
no one treads them with shouts of joy.(BU)
Although there are shouts,
they are not shouts of joy.
34 “The sound of their cry rises
from Heshbon(BV) to Elealeh(BW) and Jahaz,(BX)
from Zoar(BY) as far as Horonaim(BZ) and Eglath Shelishiyah,
for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.(CA)
35 In Moab I will put an end
to those who make offerings on the high places(CB)
and burn incense(CC) to their gods,”
declares the Lord.
36 “So my heart laments(CD) for Moab like the music of a pipe;
it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth.(CE)
The wealth they acquired(CF) is gone.
37 Every head is shaved(CG)
and every beard(CH) cut off;
every hand is slashed
and every waist is covered with sackcloth.(CI)
38 On all the roofs in Moab
and in the public squares(CJ)
there is nothing but mourning,
for I have broken Moab
like a jar(CK) that no one wants,”
declares the Lord.
39 “How shattered(CL) she is! How they wail!
How Moab turns her back in shame!
Moab has become an object of ridicule,(CM)
an object of horror to all those around her.”
40 This is what the Lord says:
“Look! An eagle is swooping(CN) down,
spreading its wings(CO) over Moab.
41 Kerioth[j](CP) will be captured
and the strongholds taken.
In that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors(CQ)
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.(CR)
42 Moab will be destroyed(CS) as a nation(CT)
because she defied(CU) the Lord.
43 Terror(CV) and pit and snare(CW) await you,
you people of Moab,”
declares the Lord.
44 “Whoever flees(CX) from the terror
will fall into a pit,
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare;
for I will bring on Moab
the year(CY) of her punishment,”
declares the Lord.
45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
the fugitives stand helpless,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
a blaze from the midst of Sihon;(CZ)
it burns the foreheads of Moab,
the skulls(DA) of the noisy boasters.
46 Woe to you, Moab!(DB)
The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
and your daughters into captivity.
47 “Yet I will restore(DC) the fortunes of Moab
in days to come,”
declares the Lord.
Here ends the judgment on Moab.

King James Version
48 Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
2 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath spoken.
9 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!
18 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
23 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
24 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.
26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord.
39 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the Lord.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
