¹ 論摩押。萬軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說：尼波有禍了！因變為荒場。基列亭蒙羞被攻取。米斯迦蒙羞被毀壞；

² 摩押不再被稱讚。有人在希實本設計謀害他，說：來罷！我們將他剪除，不再成國。瑪得緬哪，你也必默默無聲；刀劍必追趕你。

³ 從何羅念有喊荒涼大毀滅的哀聲：

⁴ 摩押毀滅了！他的孩童（或譯：家僮）發哀聲，使人聽見。

⁵ 人上魯希坡隨走隨哭，因為在何羅念的下坡聽見毀滅的哀聲。

⁶ 你們要奔逃，自救性命，獨自居住，好像曠野的杜松。

⁷ 你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的財寶必被攻取。基抹和屬他的祭司、首領也要一同被擄去。

⁸ 行毀滅的必來到各城，並無一城得免。山谷必致敗落，平原必被毀壞；正如耶和華所說的。

⁹ 要將翅膀給摩押，使他可以飛去。他的城邑必致荒涼，無人居住。

¹⁰ （懶惰為耶和華行事的，必受咒詛；禁止刀劍不經血的，必受咒詛。）

¹¹ 摩押自幼年以來常享安逸，如酒在渣滓上澄清，沒有從這器皿倒在那器皿裡，也未曾被擄去。因此，他的原味尚存，香氣未變。

¹² 耶和華說：日子將到，我必打發倒酒的往他那裡去，將他倒出來，倒空他的器皿，打碎他的罈子。

¹³ 摩押必因基抹羞愧，像以色列家從前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一樣。

¹⁴ 你們怎麼說：我們是勇士，是有勇力打仗的呢？

¹⁵ 摩押變為荒場，敵人上去進了他的城邑。他所特選的少年人下去遭了殺戮；這是君王─名為萬軍之耶和華說的。

¹⁶ 摩押的災殃臨近；他的苦難速速來到。

¹⁷ 凡在他四圍的和認識他名的，你們都要為他悲傷，說：那結實的杖和那美好的棍，何竟折斷了呢？

¹⁸ 住在底本的民哪（原文是女子），要從你榮耀的位上下來，坐受乾渴；因毀滅摩押的上來攻擊你，毀壞了你的保障。

¹⁹ 住亞羅珥的啊，要站在道旁觀望，問逃避的男人和逃脫的女人說：是甚麼事呢？

²⁰ 摩押因毀壞蒙羞；你們要哀號呼喊，要在亞嫩旁報告說：摩押變為荒場！

²¹ 刑罰臨到平原之地的何倫、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，和摩押地遠近所有的城邑。

²⁵ 摩押的角砍斷了，摩押的膀臂折斷了。這是耶和華說的。

²⁶ 你們要使摩押沉醉，因他向耶和華誇大。他要在自己所吐之中打滾，又要被人嗤笑。

²⁷ 摩押啊，你不曾嗤笑以色列麼？他豈是在賊中查出來的呢？你每逢提到他便搖頭。

²⁸ 摩押的居民哪，要離開城邑，住在山崖裡，像鴿子在深淵口上搭窩。

²⁹ 我們聽說摩押人驕傲，是極其驕傲；聽說他自高自傲，並且狂妄，居心自大。

³⁰ 耶和華說：我知道他的忿怒是虛空的；他誇大的話一無所成。

³¹ 因此，我要為摩押哀號，為摩押全地呼喊；人必為吉珥•哈列設人歎息。

³² 西比瑪的葡萄樹啊，我為你哀哭，甚於雅謝人哀哭。你的枝子蔓延過海，直長到雅謝海。那行毀滅的已經臨到你夏天的果子和你所摘的葡萄。

³³ 肥田和摩押地的歡喜快樂都被奪去；我使酒醡的酒絕流，無人踹酒歡呼；那歡呼卻變為仇敵的吶喊（原文是那歡呼卻不是歡呼）。

³⁴ 希實本人發的哀聲達到以利亞利，直達到雅雜；從瑣珥達到何羅念，直到伊基拉施利施亞，因為寧林的水必然乾涸。

³⁵ 耶和華說：我必在摩押地使那在邱壇獻祭的，和那向他的神燒香的都斷絕了。

³⁶ 我心腹為摩押哀鳴如簫，我心腸為吉珥•哈列設人也是如此，因摩押人所得的財物都滅沒了。

³⁷ 各人頭上光禿，鬍鬚剪短，手有劃傷，腰束麻布。

³⁸ 在摩押的各房頂上和街市上處處有人哀哭；因我打碎摩押，好像打碎無人喜悅的器皿。這是耶和華說的。

³⁹ 摩押何等毀壞！何等哀號！何等羞愧轉背！這樣，摩押必令四圍的人嗤笑驚駭。

⁴⁰ 耶和華如此說：仇敵必如大鷹飛起，展開翅膀，攻擊摩押。

⁴¹ 加略被攻取，保障也被佔據。到那日，摩押的勇士心中疼痛如臨產的婦人。

⁴² 摩押必被毀滅，不再成國，因他向耶和華誇大。

⁴³ 耶和華說：摩押的居民哪，恐懼、陷坑、網羅都臨近你。

⁴⁴ 躲避恐懼的必墜入陷坑；從陷坑上來的必被網羅纏住；因我必使追討之年臨到摩押。這是耶和華說的。

⁴⁵ 躲避的人無力站在希實本的影下；因為有火從希實本發出，有火燄出於西宏的城，燒盡摩押的角和鬨嚷人的頭頂。

⁴⁶ 摩押啊，你有禍了！屬基抹的民滅亡了！因你的眾子都被擄去，你的眾女也被擄去。

⁴⁷ 耶和華說：到末後，我還要使被擄的摩押人歸回。摩押受審判的話到此為止。

¹² 摩押人朝見的時候，在高處疲乏，又到他聖所祈禱，也不蒙應允。

¹ I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

² Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

³ I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

⁴ The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁵ The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.

⁶ In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

⁷ Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁸ Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

⁹ He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰ He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

¹¹ He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹² At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

¹³ Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

¹⁴ He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

¹⁵ Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

¹⁶ He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁸ They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

¹⁹ He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰ Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

²¹ For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²² For all his ordinances were before me. I didn't put away his statutes from me.

²³ I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²⁴ Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁵ With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

²⁶ With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁷ For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

²⁸ For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

²⁹ For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³¹ For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

³² the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?

³³ He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.

³⁴ He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

³⁵ You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁶ You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

³⁷ I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

³⁸ I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

³⁹ For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

⁴⁰ You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them.

⁴² Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴³ You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

⁴⁵ The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁶ Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

⁴⁷ even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

⁴⁸ He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁴⁹ Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

⁵⁰ He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
