| | 1 | 论亚扪人。耶和华如此说，以色列没有儿子吗？没有后嗣吗？玛勒堪为何得迦得之地为业呢？属他的民为何住其中的城邑呢？
Concerning the Ammonites: This is what the LORD says: "Has Israel no sons? Has she no heirs? Why then has Molech taken possession of Gad? Why do his people live in its towns? | |
| | 2 | 耶和华说，日子将到，我必使人听见打仗的喊声，是攻击亚扪人拉巴的喊声。拉巴要成为乱堆。属她的乡村（原文作女子）要被火焚烧。先前得以色列地为业的，此时以色列倒要得他们的地为业。这是耶和华说的。
But the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it will become a mound of ruins, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out," says the LORD. | |
| | 3 | 希实本哪，你要哀号，因为爱地变为荒场。拉巴的居民哪（居民原文作女子），要呼喊，以麻布束腰。要哭号，在篱笆中跑来跑去。因玛勒堪和属他的祭司，首领要一同被掳去。
"Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is destroyed! Cry out, O inhabitants of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; rush here and there inside the walls, for Molech will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. | |
| | 4 | 背道的民哪（民原文作女子），你们为何因有山谷，就是水流的山谷夸张呢？为何倚靠财宝说，谁能来到我们这里呢？
Why do you boast of your valleys, boast of your valleys so fruitful? O unfaithful daughter, you trust in your riches and say, 'Who will attack me?' | |
| | 5 | 主万军之耶和华说，我要使恐吓从四围的人中临到你们。你们必被赶出，各人一直前往，没有人收聚逃民。
I will bring terror on you from all those around you," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. "Every one of you will be driven away, and no one will gather the fugitives. | |
| | 6 | 后来我还要使被掳的亚扪人归回。这是耶和华说的。
"Yet afterward, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites," declares the LORD. | |
| | 7 | 论以东。万军之耶和华如此说，提幔中再没有智慧吗？明哲人不再有谋略吗？他们的智慧尽归无有吗？
Concerning Edom: This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed? | |
| | 8 | 底但的居民哪，要转身逃跑，住在深密处。因为我向以扫追讨的时候，必使灾殃临到他。
Turn and flee, hide in deep caves, you who live in Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him. | |
| | 9 | 摘葡萄的若来到他那里，岂不剩下些葡萄呢？盗贼若夜间而来，岂不毁坏直到够了呢？
If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes? If thieves came during the night, would they not steal only as much as they wanted? | |
| | 10 | 我却使以扫赤露，显出他的隐密处。他不能自藏。他的后裔，弟兄，邻舍尽都灭绝。他也归于无有。
But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, so that he cannot conceal himself. His children, relatives and neighbors will perish, and he will be no more. | |
| | 11 | 你撇下孤儿，我必保全他们的命。你的寡妇可以倚靠我。
Leave your orphans; I will protect their lives. Your widows too can trust in me." | |
| | 12 | 耶和华如此说，原不该喝那杯的一定要喝。你能尽免刑罚吗？你必不能免，一定要喝。
This is what the LORD says: "If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, why should you go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, but must drink it. | |
| | 13 | 耶和华说，我指着自己起誓，波斯拉必令人惊骇，羞辱，咒诅，并且荒凉。她的一切城邑必变为永远的荒场。
I swear by myself," declares the LORD, "that Bozrah will become a ruin and an object of horror, of reproach and of cursing; and all its towns will be in ruins forever." | |
| | 14 | 我从耶和华那里听见信息，并有使者被差往列国去，说，你们聚集来攻击以东，要起来争战。
I have heard a message from the LORD: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, "Assemble yourselves to attack it! Rise up for battle!" | |
| | 15 | 我使你在列国中为最小，在世人中被藐视。
"Now I will make you small among the nations, despised among men. | |
| | 16 | 住在山穴中据守山顶的阿，论到你的威吓，你因心中的狂傲自欺。你虽如大鹰高高搭窝，我却从那里拉下你来。这是耶和华说的。
The terror you inspire and the pride of your heart have deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks, who occupy the heights of the hill. Though you build your nest as high as the eagle's, from there I will bring you down," declares the LORD. | |
| | 17 | 以东必令人惊骇。凡经过的人就受惊骇，又因她一切的灾祸嗤笑。
"Edom will become an object of horror; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. | |
| | 18 | 耶和华说，必无人住在那里，也无人在其中寄居，要像所多玛，蛾摩拉，和邻近的城邑倾覆的时候一样。
As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown, along with their neighboring towns," says the LORD, "so no one will live there; no man will dwell in it. | |
| | 19 | 仇敌必像狮子从约旦河边的丛林上来，攻击坚固的居所。转眼之间，我要使以东人逃跑，离开这地。谁蒙拣选，我就派谁治理这地。谁能比我呢？谁能给我定规日期呢？有何牧人能在我面前站立得住呢？
"Like a lion coming up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland, I will chase Edom from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?" | |
| | 20 | 你们要听耶和华攻击以东所说的谋略和他攻击提幔居民所定的旨意。仇敌定要将他们群众微弱的拉去，定要使他们的居所荒凉。
Therefore, hear what the LORD has planned against Edom, what he has purposed against those who live in Teman: The young of the flock will be dragged away; he will completely destroy their pasture because of them. | |
| | 21 | 因他们仆倒的声音，地就震动。人在红海那里必听见呼喊的声音。
At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble; their cry will resound to the Red Sea. | |
| | 22 | 仇敌必如大鹰飞起，展开翅膀攻击波斯拉。到那日，以东的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。
Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom's warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor. | |
| | 23 | 论大马色。哈马和亚珥拔蒙羞，因他们听见凶恶的信息就消化了。海上有忧愁，不得平静。
Concerning Damascus: "Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled like the restless sea. | |
| | 24 | 大马色发软，转身逃跑。战兢将她捉住。痛苦忧愁将她抓住，如产难的妇人一样。
Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee and panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her, pain like that of a woman in labor. | |
| | 25 | 我所喜乐可称赞的城，为何被撇弃了呢？
Why has the city of renown not been abandoned, the town in which I delight? | |
| | 26 | 她的少年人必仆倒在街上。当那日，一切兵丁必默默无声。这是万军之耶和华说的。
Surely, her young men will fall in the streets; all her soldiers will be silenced in that day," declares the LORD Almighty. | |
| | 27 | 我必在大马色城中使火着起，烧灭便哈达的宫殿。
"I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad." | |
| | 28 | 论巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所攻打的基达和夏琐的诸国。耶和华如此说，迦勒底人哪，起来上基达去，毁灭东方人。
Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked: This is what the LORD says: "Arise, and attack Kedar and destroy the people of the East. | |
| | 29 | 他们的帐棚和羊群都要夺去，将幔子和一切器皿，并骆驼为自己掠去。人向他们喊着说，四围都有惊吓。
Their tents and their flocks will be taken; their shelters will be carried off with all their goods and camels. Men will shout to them, 'Terror on every side!' | |
| | 30 | 耶和华说，夏琐的居民哪，要逃奔远方，住在深密处。因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒设计谋害你们，起意攻击你们。
"Flee quickly away! Stay in deep caves, you who live in Hazor," declares the LORD. "Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has plotted against you; he has devised a plan against you. | |
| | 31 | 耶和华说，迦勒底人哪，起来。上安逸无虑的居民那里去。他们是无门无闩，独自居住的。
"Arise and attack a nation at ease, which lives in confidence," declares the LORD, "a nation that has neither gates nor bars; its people live alone. | |
| | 32 | 他们的骆驼必成为掠物。他们众多的牲畜必成为掳物。我必将剃周围头发的人分散四方（方原文作风），使灾殃从四围临到他们。这是耶和华说的。
Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be booty. I will scatter to the winds those who are in distant places and will bring disaster on them from every side," declares the LORD. | |
| | 33 | 夏琐必成为野狗的住处，永远凄凉。必无人住在那里，也无人在其中寄居。
"Hazor will become a haunt of jackals, a desolate place forever. No one will live there; no man will dwell in it." | |
| | 34 | 犹大王西底家登基的时候，耶和华论以拦的话临到先知耶利米说，
This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, early in the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah: | |
| | 35 | 万军之耶和华如此说，我必折断以拦人的弓，就是他们为首的权力。
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might. | |
| | 36 | 我要使四风从天的四方刮来，临到以拦人，将他们分散四方（方原文作风）。这被赶散的人没有一国不到的。
I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the heavens; I will scatter them to the four winds, and there will not be a nation where Elam's exiles do not go. | |
| | 37 | 耶和华说，我必使以拦人在仇敌和寻索其命的人面前惊惶。我也必使灾祸，就是我的烈怒临到他们，又必使刀剑追杀他们，直到将他们灭尽。
I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives; I will bring disaster upon them, even my fierce anger," declares the LORD. "I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them. | |
| | 38 | 我要在以拦设立我的宝座，从那里除灭君王和首领。这是耶和华说的。
I will set my throne in Elam and destroy her king and officials," declares the LORD. | |
| | 39 | 到末后，我还要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。
"Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam in days to come," declares the LORD. | |
