¹关于亚扪的预言

¹Of the children of Ammon. Thus says Yahweh: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?

²因此，看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），我必使战争的吶喊声响起，有敌人来攻击亚扪的拉巴；拉巴必成为一片废墟，属它的乡镇（“乡镇”原文作“女子”）必被火焚烧。那时以色列人必从侵略他们的人的手中收回土地。”这是耶和华说的。

²Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who possessed him, says Yahweh.

³“希实本哪，你要哀号！因为艾城已被毁灭。拉巴的居民（“居民”原文作“女子”），你们要呼喊，要腰束麻布，要哀哭，要在城墙内跑来跑去。因为米勒公，以及事奉它的祭司和领袖，都必一同被掳去。

³Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

⁴背道的居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）哪！你们为什么因有山谷，就是你们那肥沃的山谷而夸口呢？你们十分倚靠自己的财宝，说：‘有谁敢来攻击我们呢？’

⁴Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?

⁵看哪！我必使你们因四围的列国而恐慌，这是主万军之耶和华的宣告；你们必被赶逐，各自逃命，没有人把四散奔逃的人聚集起来。

⁵Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

⁶但我日后必使被掳的亚扪人归回。”这是耶和华的宣告。

⁶But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says Yahweh.

⁷关于以东的预言论到以东，万军之耶和华这样说：“提幔再没有智慧吗？聪明人已经计穷才尽吗？他们的智慧都消失了吗？

⁷Of Edom. Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

⁸底但的居民哪！你们要转身逃跑，藏在隐蔽的地方，因为我惩罚以扫的时候，必使灾祸临到他身上。

⁸Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.

⁹收取葡萄的若来到你那里，岂不剩下一些葡萄吗？盗贼若在夜间来到你那里，岂不是只偷他们所要的吗（“岂不是只偷他们所要的吗”或译：“岂不毁坏直到够了吗”）？

⁹If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, wouldn’t they destroy until they had enough?

¹⁰但是我要使以扫赤裸，揭露他藏匿的地方，以致他不能隐藏。他的后裔、他的兄弟和他的邻居都必灭亡，

¹⁰But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.

¹¹没有人会说：‘你撇下你的孤儿，我必使他们存活；你的寡妇可以倚靠我。’”

¹¹Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.

¹²耶和华这样说：“看哪！原不该喝那杯的，尚且一定要喝，难道你可以完全免受刑罚吗？你必不能免受刑罚，你一定要喝那杯。

¹²For thus says Yahweh: Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.

¹³因为我曾指着自己起誓，波斯拉必成为令人惊骇、被人羞辱和咒诅的对象；它必变成荒野，它一切的城镇都必永远变成荒场。”这是耶和华的宣告。

¹³For I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.

¹⁴我从耶和华那里听见了一个信息，有一位使者被派往列国去，说：“你们要聚集去攻击以东，要起来争战！”

¹⁴I have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

¹⁵“看哪！我必使你在列国中成为弱小的，在世人中被藐视。

¹⁵For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.

¹⁶你那令人战栗的威风，你心中的傲气欺骗了你；你这住在岩石的隐密处，雄据山岭高处的啊！你虽如鹰在高处搭窝，我也必把你从那里拉下来。”这是耶和华的宣告。

¹⁶As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

¹⁷“以东必成为令人惊骇的地方；每一个经过那里的，都必因这地所遭受的一切创伤而惊骇，并且嗤笑它。

¹⁷Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.

¹⁸以东必倾覆，像所多玛、蛾摩拉，和它们的城镇一样（这是耶和华说的），必没有人住在那里，也必没有人在那里寄居。

¹⁸As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it, says Yahweh, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

¹⁹看哪！狮子怎样从约旦河边的丛林走上来，攻击常绿的牧场，照样，我必在眨眼之间把以东赶走，使它离开这地；谁蒙拣选，我就派谁治理这地。谁能和我相比呢？谁可以把我传来审讯呢？哪一个牧人能在我面前站立得住呢？”

¹⁹Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

²⁰因此，你们要听耶和华筹谋对付以东的计划，和他为了提幔的居民所定下的策略。他们羊群中最小的也必被拉去，他们的牧场也必因临到它们的灾祸而荒废。

²⁰Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

²¹因他们倒下的响声，地就震动；并且有哀叫的声音，在红海那里也听得到。

²¹The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

²²看哪！必有一人像大鹰飞扑而来，展开翅膀攻击波斯拉；在那日，以东勇士的心必惊慌，像临产妇人的心一样。

²²Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

²³关于大马士革的预言论到大马士革，耶和华说：“哈马和亚珥拔纷乱不安，因为他们听到了坏消息；他们的心融化，焦虑慌张，像不能平静的海洋。

²³Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can’t be quiet.

²⁴大马士革失去勇气，转身逃跑；但恐慌抓住它，忧虑痛苦把它捉住，像正在生产的妇人的痛苦一样。

²⁴Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

²⁵著名的城市，我所欢喜的市镇，怎么竟被撇弃呢！

²⁵How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

²⁶它的年轻人必仆倒在它的街道上，到那日，所有的战士都必被消灭。”这是万军之耶和华的宣告。

²⁶Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh of Armies.

²⁷“我要焚烧大马士革的城墙，烧毁便．哈达的堡垒。”

²⁷I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.

²⁸关于基达和夏琐的预言论到巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所击败的基达，以及夏琐诸国，耶和华这样说：“起来，上去攻击基达，消灭东方人！

²⁸Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says Yahweh: Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.

²⁹夺去他们的帐棚和羊群，带走他们的幔子、一切器具和骆驼；人必向他们呼叫：‘四围都是惊慌。’

²⁹Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Terror on every side!

³⁰夏琐的居民哪！你们要逃跑，快快逃命，藏在隐蔽的地方，因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒筹谋计划对付你们，定下策略攻击你们。”这是耶和华的宣告。

³⁴关于以拦的预言犹大王西底家开始执政的时候，耶和华论到以拦的话临到耶利米先知，说：

³⁴The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

³⁵“万军之耶和华这样说：看哪！我要折断以拦的弓，就是他们战斗力强的武器。

³⁵Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

³⁶我要使四风从天的四边刮到以拦身上，把他们分散到四方，以致没有一个国家没有以拦难民的踪迹。

³⁶On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

³⁷我必使以拦人在他们的仇敌面前惊慌，在寻索他们性命的人面前恐惧；我必使灾祸，就是我的烈怒，临到他们身上；我必差遣刀剑追赶他们，直到把他们灭绝。”这是耶和华的宣告。

³⁷I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger, says Yahweh; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;
