1 Pri Moab:Tiele diras la Eternulo Cebaot, Dio de Izrael:Ve al Nebo! cxar gxi estas ruinigita; hontigita kaj venkoprenita estas Kirjataim; hontigita kaj tremigita estas la fortikajxo.

2 Jam ne ekzistas la gloro de Moab; en HXesxbon oni intencas kontraux gxi malbonon, dirante:Ni iru, kaj Ni ekstermu gxin, ke gxi ne plu estu popolo. Ankaux vi, ho Madmen, eksilentu; vin persekutos glavo.

3 Kriadon oni auxdas de HXoronaim, tie estas ruinigado kaj granda malfelicxo.

4 Disbatita estas Moab; gxiaj infanoj lauxte krias.

5 Kiuj supreniras al Luhxit, tiuj iras kun plorado; cxe la malsuprenirado de HXoronaim la malamikoj auxdas kriadon de malfelicxo.

6 Forkuru, savu vian vivon, kaj estu kiel seknudigxinta arbo en la dezerto.

7 CXar vi fidis viajn faritajxojn kaj viajn trezorojn, vi ankaux estos venkoprenita; kaj Kemosx iros en kaptitecon kune kun siaj pastroj kaj eminentuloj.

8 Venos ruiniganto en cxiun urbon, neniu urbo savigxos; pereos la valo kaj dezertigxos la ebenajxo, kiel diris la Eternulo.

9 Donu flugilojn al Moab, cxar li devas forflugi; liaj urboj dezertigxos tiel, ke neniu en ili logxos.

10 Malbenita estu tiu, kiu plenumas malgxuste la faron de la Eternulo, kaj malbenita estu tiu, kiu detenas sian glavon de sango.

11 De sia juneco Moab havis trankvilecon kaj ripozadis sur sia fecxo, li ne estis transversxata el unu vazo en alian, kaj en kaptitecon li ne iris; tial lia gusto restis en li kaj lia odoro ne sxangxigxis.

12 Tial jen venos tempo, diras la Eternulo, kiam Mi sendos al li versxistojn, kaj ili versxos lin, malplenigos liajn vazojn, kaj disrompos liajn krucxojn.

13 Kaj Moab estos hontigita pro Kemosx, kiel la domo de Izrael estis hontigita pro Bet-El, kiun ili fidis.

14 Kiel vi povas diri:Ni estas herooj kaj kapabluloj por la milito?

15 Ruinigita estas Moab, liaj urboj falis, kaj liaj plej bravaj junuloj iris al bucxo, diras al Regxo, kies nomo estas Eternulo Cebaot.

16 Baldaux venos pereo al Moab, kaj lia malfelicxo tre rapidas.

17 Bedauxru lin cxiuj liaj cxirkauxantoj, kaj cxiuj, kiuj konas lian nomon, diru:Kiele disrompigxis la forta vergo, la belega bastono!

18 Iru malsupren de via majesto, sidu en senakva loko, ho logxantino, filino de Dibon; cxar la ruiniganto de Moab elpasxis kontraux vin kaj detruis viajn fortikajxojn.

19 Staru cxe la vojo kaj rigardu, ho logxantino de Aroer; demandu la forkuranton kaj la forsavigxanton, kaj diru:Kio farigxis?

20 Hontigita estas Moab, cxar li estas frapita; ploru kaj kriu, sciigu en Arnon, ke Moab estas ruinigita.

21 Jugxo venis kontraux la lando de la ebenajxo, kontraux HXolon, Jahac, kaj Mefaat,

22 kontraux Dibon, Nebo, kaj Bet-Diblataim,

23 kontraux Kirjataim, Bet-Gamul, kaj Bet-Meon,

24 kontraux Keriot kaj Bocra, kaj kontraux cxiuj urboj de la lando de Moab, la malproksimaj kaj la proksimaj.

25 Dehakita estas la korno de Moab, kaj lia brako estas rompita, diras la Eternulo.

26 Ebriigu lin, cxar li levigxis kontraux la Eternulo; Moab plauxdos en sia vomajxo, kaj li mem estos objekto de mokado.

27 CXu vi ne mokis Izraelon? cxu oni trovis lin inter sxtelistoj, ke cxiufoje, kiam vi parolas pri li, vi balancas la kapon?

28 Forlasu la urbojn kaj eklogxu sur roko, ho logxantoj de Moab, kaj farigxu kiel kolomboj, kiuj nestas en truoj de kavernoj.

29 Ni auxdis pri la fiereco de Moab, granda fiereco, pri lia malmodesteco, fiereco, aroganteco, kaj pri la malhumileco de lia koro.

30 Mi konas, diras la Eternulo, lian koleremecon, la nesincerecon de liaj vortoj kaj la nesincerecon de liaj agoj.

31 Tial Mi devas plori pri Moab, gxemi pri cxiuj Moabidoj, priplori la logxantojn de Kir-HXeres.

32 Per pli ol la plorado de Jazer Mi ploros pri vi, ho vinbergxardeno de Sibma; viaj brancxoj etendigxis trans la maron, atingis la maron de Jazer; rabisto atakis viajn somerajn fruktojn kaj vian rikolton.

33 Forigxis gxojo kaj gajeco de la fruktodona kampo kaj de la lando de Moab; Mi malaperigis vinon en la vinpremejoj, oni ne premos tie kun gxojo vinon, triumfaj kantoj ne plu sonos.

34 Pro la kriado, kiu auxdigxas de HXesxbon gxis Eleale kaj gxis Jahac, ili lauxte ekploris de Coar gxis HXoronaim kaj gxis la tria Eglat; cxar ankaux la akvo de Nimrim sekmalaperis.

35 Mi ekstermos cxe Moab, diras la Eternulo, cxiun, kiu supreniras sur altajxon kaj incensas al siaj dioj.

36 Tial Mia koro gxemas pri Moab kiel fluto, kaj pri la logxantoj de Kir- HXeres Mia koro gxemas kiel fluto; cxar la abundajxo, kiun ili akiris, pereis.

37 CXar cxiu kapo kalvigxis, kaj cxiu barbo estas fortondita, sur cxiuj manoj estas trancxoj, kaj sur la lumboj estas sakajxo.

38 Sur cxiuj tegmentoj de Moab kaj sur liaj stratoj cxie estas plorado; cxar Mi disrompis Moabon kiel senvaloran vazon, diras la Eternulo.

39 Kiele disbatita li estas, kiele ili ploregas! kiele Moab turnis sian nukon, estas hontigita, kaj Moab farigxis objekto de mokado kaj de teruro por cxiuj siaj cxirkauxantoj!

40 CXar tiele diras la Eternulo:Jen li alflugos kiel aglo kaj etendos siajn flugilojn super Moab.

41 Prenita estas Keriot, kaj la fortikigitaj urboj estas kaptitaj; kaj la koro de la herooj de Moab en tiu tago estos kiel la koro de virino dum la doloroj de naskado.

42 Kaj Moab estos ekstermita, ke li ne plu estos popolo, cxar li levigxis kontraux la Eternulo.

43 Teruro, kavo, kaj kaptilo trafos vin, ho logxanto de Moab, diras la Eternulo.

44 Kiu forkuros de la teruro, tiu falos en la kavon; kaj kiu eliros el la kavo, tiu trafos en kaptilon; cxar Mi venigos sur lin, sur Moabon, la jaron de lia puno, diras la Eternulo.

45 Sub la ombro de HXesxbon starigxos tiuj, kiuj forkuros de la forto; sed fajro eliros el HXesxbon kaj flamo el la mezo de Sihxon, kaj gxi mangxegos la flankon de Moab kaj la verton de la filoj malkvietaj.

46 Ve al vi, ho Moab! pereis la popolo de Kemosx; cxar viaj filoj estas prenitaj en kaptitecon kaj viaj filinoj estas forkondukitaj.

47 Sed en la tempo estonta Mi revenigos la kaptitojn de Moab, diras la Eternulo. GXis cxi tie estas la verdikto pri Moab.

Country

  
This World War I poster shows the nations allied against the Axis countries.

Generally in the Bible a "country" means a political subdivision ruled by a king, or sometimes a tribe with a territory ruled by a king or chieftain. Others are what we now call city-states, with surrounding farm areas. In almost all cases these countries were far smaller than our modern idea of countries, though Egypt and Assyria would be exceptions. Sometimes the word is used to refer to countryside, a wide area with no consideration of boundaries as when the twelve Israelites were sent to spy out the country.

182. Verse 1. And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, signifies those who live a moral but not a spiritual life, because they have little regard for the knowledges of spiritual things and for intelligence and wisdom therefrom. This is evident from what is written to the angel of this church, from which, when viewed in the internal or spiritual sense, it can be seen that those who live a moral but not a spiritual life, because they have little regard for the knowledges of the spiritual things and for intelligence and wisdom therefrom, are here treated of. But before unfolding the things that follow as to their spiritual sense, it is necessary to explain and open what moral life is and what spiritual life is, also what moral life from spiritual life is, and what moral life apart from spiritual life. Moral life is acting well, sincerely, and justly with one's companions in all the affairs and occupations of life; in a word, it is the life that is apparent before men, because it is the life lived with them. But this life has a two-fold origin; it is either from the love of self and the world, or it is from love to God and love towards the neighbor.

[2] Moral life from the love of self and the world is not in itself moral life, although it seems to be moral; for the man acting thus acts well, sincerely, and justly for the sake of self and the world only, and what is good, sincere, and just serves him as means to an end, which is, either that he may be raised above others and rule over them, or that he may gain wealth; and of these things he thinks in his spirit, or when he is by himself secretly; but these things that he thinks he does not dare to avow openly, because they would destroy the good opinion others have of him, and thus destroy the means by which he wishes to attain his ends. From this it can be seen that there lies within the moral life of such a man nothing else than to acquire all things in preference to others, thus that he wishes to have all others to serve him, or to gain possession of their goods; from which it is evident that his moral life is not in itself a moral life; for if he should gain what he aims at, or what he has as an end, he would subject others to himself as slaves, and would deprive them of their goods. And as all means savor of the end, and in their essence are of the same quality as their ends, for which reason they are also called intermediate ends, therefore such a life, regarded in itself, is merely craftiness and fraud. And this also becomes clearly evident in the case of those with whom these external bonds are released, as takes place, when engaged in lawsuits against their fellows, when they desire nothing so much as to subvert justice, and secure the good will of the judge or the favor of the king, and this secretly, that they may deprive others of their goods; and when they obtain this, they rejoice in spirit and in heart. This is still more evident in the case of kings who place honor in wars and victories, that they find the highest joy of their hearts in subjugating provinces and kingdoms, and where resistance is made, in depriving the vanquished of all their goods, and even of life. Such also is the delight of many who engage at such times in military service. This becomes still more evident with all of this character when they become spirits, which is immediately after the death of the body. As they then think and act from their spirit, they rush into every wickedness according to their love, however morally they may have lived in appearance while in the world.

[3] But spiritual life is wholly different, because it has a different origin; for it is from love to God and love towards the neighbor. Consequently, the moral life also of those who are spiritual is different, and is a truly moral life; for these, when they think in their spirit, which takes place when they are thinking secretly by themselves, do not think from self and the world, but from the Lord and heaven; for the interiors of their minds, that is, of their thought and will, are actually elevated by the Lord into heaven, and are there conjoined to Him; thus the Lord flows into their thoughts, intentions, and ends, and governs them and withdraws them from their proprium [what is their own], which is solely from the love of self and of the world. The moral life of such persons is, in appearance, like the moral life of those described above, and yet their moral life is spiritual, because it is from a spiritual origin. Their moral life is simply an effect of spiritual life, which is the efficient cause, thus the origin. For they act well, sincerely, and justly with their fellows from fear of God and from love of the neighbor; in these loves the Lord keeps their mind and disposition [mentem et animum]; consequently when they become spirits, which takes place when the body dies, they think and act intelligently and wisely, and are elevated into heaven. Of these it may be said, that with them every good of love and every truth of faith flows in out of heaven, that is, through heaven from the Lord. But this is not true of those described above; for their good 1 is not the good of heaven, nor is their truth the truth of heaven; but what they call good is the delight of the lust of the flesh, and it is falsity therefrom that they call truth; these flow into them from self and from the world. From this it can also be known what moral life from spiritual life is, and what moral life apart from spiritual life is; namely, that moral life from spiritual life is truly moral life, which may be called spiritual, since it has its cause and origin in the spiritual; but that moral life apart from spiritual life is not moral life, and may be called infernal, for so far as the love of self and of the world reign in it, so far it is fraudulent and hypocritical.

[4] From what has now been said, the quality of external sanctity may also be inferred (by which is meant worship in churches, prayers, and gestures then), with such as are in the love of self and of the world, and yet live an apparently moral life, namely, that nothing of these is elevated to heaven and is heard there, but that they flow out from some thought of the external or natural man, and thus from their mouth into the world. For the interior thoughts of such, which are of their very spirits, are full of craftiness and fraud against the neighbor; and yet it is through interiors that there is elevation into heaven. Moreover, their worship in churches, and prayers, and gestures at such times, are either the result of habit from infancy, and are thence become familiar, or they are from a principle that such external things contribute everything to salvation, or they are a consequence of there being no business for them at home and abroad on holy days, or of a fear of being regarded as irreligious by their companions. But worship with those who live a moral life from a spiritual origin is altogether different, for it is truly a worship of God, for their prayers are elevated to heaven and are heard, for the Lord leads their prayers through heaven to Himself. (But more may be seen on these subjects in the work on Heaven and Hell, n. 468, 484, 529, 530-534; and above, in the Explanation of the Apocalypse, n. 107.) These things are premised, because what is written to the angel of this church treats of those who live a moral but not a spiritual life, for the reason that they have little regard for the knowledges of spiritual things.
