¹ 耶和華的話臨到我說：

² 人子啊，你要面向亞捫人說預言，攻擊他們，

³ 說：你們當聽主耶和華的話。主耶和華如此說：我的聖所被褻瀆，以色列地變荒涼，猶大家被擄掠；那時，你便因這些事說：阿哈！

⁴ 所以我必將你的地交給東方人為業；他們必在你的地上安營居住，吃你的果子，喝你的奶。

⁵ 我必使拉巴為駱駝場，使亞捫人的地為羊群躺臥之處，你們就知道我是耶和華。

⁶ 主耶和華如此說：因你拍手頓足，以滿心的恨惡向以色列地歡喜，

⁷ 所以我伸手攻擊你，將你交給列國作為擄物。我必從萬民中剪除你，使你從萬國中敗亡。我必除滅你，你就知道我是耶和華。

⁸ 主耶和華如此說：因摩押和西珥人說：看哪，猶大家與列國無異，

⁹ 所以我要破開摩押邊界上的城邑，就是摩押人看為本國之榮耀的伯耶西末、巴力免、基列亭，

¹⁰ 好使東方人來攻擊亞捫人。我必將亞捫人之地交給他們為業，使亞捫人在列國中不再被記念。

¹¹ 我必向摩押施行審判，他們就知道我是耶和華。

¹² 主耶和華如此說：因為以東報仇雪恨，攻擊猶大家，向他們報仇，大大有罪，

¹³ 所以主耶和華如此說：我必伸手攻擊以東，剪除人與牲畜，使以東從提幔起，人必倒在刀下，地要變為荒涼，直到底但。

¹⁴ 我必藉我民以色列的手報復以東；以色列民必照我的怒氣，按我的忿怒在以東施報，以東人就知道是我施報。這是主耶和華說的。

¹⁵ 主耶和華如此說：因非利士人向猶大人報仇，就是以恨惡的心報仇雪恨，永懷仇恨，要毀滅他們，

¹⁶ 所以主耶和華如此說：我必伸手攻擊非利士人，剪除基利提人，滅絕沿海剩下的居民。

¹⁷ 我向他們大施報應，發怒斥責他們。我報復他們的時候，他們就知道我是耶和華。

² 亞羅珥的城邑已被撇棄，必成為牧羊之處；羊在那裡躺臥，無人驚嚇。

¹ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

² Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?

³ Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

⁴ Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and its midst is burned: is it profitable for any work?

⁵ Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!

⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁷ I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.

⁸ I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord Yahweh.
