Ang Silot alang sa Nasod sa Moab

Mao kini ang gisulti sa Ginoo bahin sa Moab, “Tungod sa padayon nga pagpakasala sa mga taga-Moab, silotan ko gayod sila. Kay gisunog nila ang mga bukog sa hari sa Edom hangtod nga naabo kini. Busa sunogon ko ang Moab apil ang lig-ong mga bahin sa Keriot.[a] Mangamatay ang mga taga-Moab samtang nagasinggit ug nagapatingog sa budyong ang ilang mga kaaway nga nagasulong kanila. Mamatay apil ang ilang hari ug ang tanan niyang mga opisyal. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagaingon niini.”

Ang Silot alang sa Nasod sa Juda

Mao kini ang gisulti sa Ginoo bahin sa Juda, “Tungod sa padayon nga pagpakasala sa mga taga-Juda, silotan ko gayod sila. Kay gisalikway nila ang akong kasugoan ug wala nila buhata ang mga tulumanon nga gihatag ko kanila. Gipahisalaag sila sa mga bakak nga pagtulon-an sa mga dios-dios nga gialagaran usab sa ilang mga katigulangan. Busa sunogon ko ang Juda apil ang lig-ong mga bahin sa Jerusalem.”

Ang Silot alang sa Nasod sa Israel

Mao kini ang gisulti sa Ginoo bahin sa Israel,[b] “Tungod sa padayon nga pagpakasala sa mga taga-Israel, silotan ko gayod sila. Gibaligya nila isip mga ulipon ang mga tawo nga walay sala, tungod lang sa ilang utang. Gihimo nila kini sa mga kabos bisan ug usa lamang ka parisan nga sandalyas ang utang. Gidaog-daog nila ang mga kabos ug wala nila sila hatagi ug hustisya. Anaa usab diha kanilay amahan ug anak nga lalaki nga nakighilawas sa usa lang ka babaye. Tungod niini gipasipalahan nila ang akong balaang ngalan. Manghigda sila tapad sa matag halaran sinul-ob ang bisti nga gigarantiya kanila sa mga kabos.[c] Ug nagainom sila diha sa akong templo sa bino nga pinalit gikan sa multa nga gibayad sa mga kabos nga nakautang kanila. Apan bisan pa niini, gilaglag ko gihapon ang mga Amorihanon alang kanila nga mga Israelinhon. Tag-as nga mga tawo ang mga Amorihanon (daw mga kahoyng sedro) ug lig-on nga daw mga kahoyng terebinto (tugas). Gipanglaglag ko sila hangtod nga wala nay nahibilin kanila. 10 Gipagawas ko usab ang mga katigulangan sa mga Israelinhon gikan sa Ehipto, ug sulod sa 40 ka tuig gigiyahan ko sila didto sa disyerto aron mapanag-iya nila ang yuta sa mga Amorihanon. 11 Gipili ko ang uban sa ilang mga kaliwat nga mahimong mga propeta ug mga Nazareo.[d] Dili ba tinuod man kini, mga Israelinhon? 12 Apan unsa ang inyong gihimo? Gipainom ninyo ug bino ang mga Nazareo[e] ug gimandoan ninyo ang mga propeta nga dili mosugilon sa akong mensahe. 13 Busa paminaw kamo! Pahamtangan ko kamo ug labihan kabug-at nga silot. Himuon ko kamong sama sa karomata nga nabungkag tungod sa sobra kabug-at sa gikarga nga abot. 14 Busa bisan kadtong kusog modagan kaninyo dili makaikyas, ang kusgan magluya, ug ang mga sundalo dili makaluwas sa ilang kaugalingon. 15 Bisan ang mga mamamana moatras. Ang mga sundalo nga kusog modagan dili makaikyas, ug ang mga tigkabayo dili makaluwas sa ilang kaugalingon. 16 Sa adlaw nga silotan ko kamo, bisan pa ang pinakaisog ninyong mga sundalo moikyas nga hubo. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagaingon niini.”

Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:

And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.

Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.

12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Moab,(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes(B)
    the bones of Edom’s king,
I will send fire on Moab
    that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](C)
Moab will go down in great tumult
    amid war cries(D) and the blast of the trumpet.(E)
I will destroy her ruler(F)
    and kill all her officials with him,”(G)
says the Lord.(H)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Judah,(I)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law(J) of the Lord
    and have not kept his decrees,(K)
because they have been led astray(L) by false gods,[b](M)
    the gods[c] their ancestors followed,(N)
I will send fire(O) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses(P) of Jerusalem.(Q)

Judgment on Israel

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Israel,
    even for four, I will not relent.(R)
They sell the innocent for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals.(S)
They trample on the heads of the poor
    as on the dust of the ground
    and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
    and so profane my holy name.(T)
They lie down beside every altar
    on garments taken in pledge.(U)
In the house of their god
    they drink wine(V) taken as fines.(W)

“Yet I destroyed the Amorites(X) before them,
    though they were tall(Y) as the cedars
    and strong as the oaks.(Z)
I destroyed their fruit above
    and their roots(AA) below.
10 I brought you up out of Egypt(AB)
    and led(AC) you forty years in the wilderness(AD)
    to give you the land of the Amorites.(AE)

11 “I also raised up prophets(AF) from among your children
    and Nazirites(AG) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine
    and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(AH)

13 “Now then, I will crush you
    as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(AI)
14 The swift will not escape,(AJ)
    the strong(AK) will not muster their strength,
    and the warrior will not save his life.(AL)
15 The archer(AM) will not stand his ground,
    the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
    and the horseman(AN) will not save his life.(AO)
16 Even the bravest warriors(AP)
    will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.

Says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

I will not turn away its punishment,
(F)Because they have despised the law of the Lord,
And have not kept His commandments.
(G)Their lies lead them astray,

Judgment on Israel

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of (J)Israel, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because (K)they sell the righteous for silver,
And the (L)poor for a pair of sandals.
They [a]pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
And (M)pervert the way of the humble.
(N)A man and his father go in to the same girl,
(O)To defile My holy name.
They lie down (P)by every altar on clothes (Q)taken in pledge,

“Yet it was I who destroyed the (R)Amorite before them,
Whose height was like the (S)height of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I (T)destroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
10 Also it was (U)I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,
And (V)led you forty years through the wilderness,
To possess the land of the Amorite.
11 I raised up some of your sons as (W)prophets,
And some of your young men as (X)Nazirites.
Is it not so, O you children of Israel?”
Says the Lord.
12 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
And commanded the prophets (Y)saying,
‘Do not prophesy!’

13 “Behold,(Z) I am [c]weighed down by you,
As a cart full of sheaves [d]is weighed down.
14 (AA)Therefore [e]flight shall perish from the swift,
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
(AB)Nor shall the mighty [f]deliver himself;
15 He shall not stand who handles the bow,
The swift of foot shall not [g]escape,
Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself.
16 The most [h]courageous men of might
Shall flee naked in that day,”
Says the Lord.
