| | 1 | 論摩押的默示。一夜之間、摩押的亞珥、變為荒廢、歸於無有．一夜之間、摩押的基珥、變為荒廢、歸於無有．
An oracle concerning Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! | |
| | 2 | 他們上巴益、又往底本、到高處去哭泣．摩押人因尼波和米底巴哀號、各人頭上光禿、鬍鬚剃淨。
Dibon goes up to its temple, to its high places to weep; Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is shaved and every beard cut off. | |
| | 3 | 他們在街市上都腰束麻布、在房頂上和寬闊處、俱各哀號、眼淚汪汪。
In the streets they wear sackcloth; on the roofs and in the public squares they all wail, prostrate with weeping. | |
| | 4 | 希實本和以利亞利悲哀的聲音、達到雅雜．所以摩押帶兵器的高聲喊嚷．人心戰兢。
Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out, and their hearts are faint. | |
| | 5 | 我心為摩押悲哀．他的貴冑、〔或作逃民〕逃到瑣珥、到伊基拉、施利施亞．他們上魯希坡隨走隨哭．在何羅念的路上、因毀滅舉起哀聲。
My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath Shelishiyah. They go up the way to Luhith, weeping as they go; on the road to Horonaim they lament their destruction. | |
| | 6 | 因為寧林的水成為乾涸．青草枯乾、嫩草滅沒、青綠之物、一無所有。
The waters of Nimrim are dried up and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone and nothing green is left. | |
| | 7 | 因此、摩押人所得的財物、和所積蓄的、都要運過柳樹河。
So the wealth they have acquired and stored up they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars. | |
| | 8 | 哀聲遍聞摩押的四境．哀號的聲音、達到以基蓮．哀號的聲音、達到比珥以琳。
Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab; their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim, their lamentation as far as Beer Elim. | |
| | 9 | 底們的水充滿了血．我還要加增底們的災難、叫獅子來追上摩押逃脫的民、和那地上所餘剩的人。
Dimon's waters are full of blood, but I will bring still more upon Dimon--a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon those who remain in the land. | |
