¹Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

¹Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon'i Moaba, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria nodorany ho sokay ny taolan'ny mpanjakan'i Edoma; [Heb. tsy hahemotro]

²But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

²Fa hataoko afo ao Moaba, ka handevona ny tranoben'i Kiriota izany; Ary Moaba ho faty amin'ny tabataba sy amin'ny akora ary ny fanenon'ny anjomara;

³And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

³Ary hofoanako tsy hisy mpitsara ao aminy, ary hiaraka hovonoiko izy sy ireo mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy, hoy Jehovah.

⁴Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

⁴Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon'i Joda, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria nataony tsinontsinona ny lalàn'i Jehovah, ary ny didiny tsy notandremany, ary nampahadiso azy ny laingany, izay fanaon'ny razany; [Heb. tsy hahemotro]

⁵But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

⁵Fa haterako afo ao Joda, ka handevona ny tranoben'i Jerosalema izany.

⁶Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

⁶Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon'Isiraely, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria namidiny volafotsy ny olona marina sy kapa iray lomisy ny malahelo, [Heb. tsy hahemotro]

⁷That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:

⁷Ary mihanahana mitsiriritra ny vovo-tany eo an-dohan'ny malahelo izy sady mamily ny alehan'ny mpandefitra, ary olona mianaka dia samy mandry amin'ny zazavavy iray ihany mba handoto ny anarako masina; [Na: ho eo]

⁸And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.

⁸Amin'ny lamba azony tamin'ny tsatòka izy no mitsilailay eny anilan'ny alitara rehetra, ary misotro divay novidina tamin'ny sazy ao an-tranon'ireo andriamaniny izy. [Heb. divain'y voasazy]

⁹Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

⁹Nefa Izaho no nandringana ny Amorita teo anoloany, dia olona izay lava tsanganana toy ny hazo sedera sy natanjaka toy ny ôka; Eny, nosimbako ny voany teny ambony sy ny fatany tao ambany.

¹⁰Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

¹⁰Ary Izaho no nitondra anareo niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta sady nitari-dalana anareo efa-polo taona tany an-efitra, mba handovanareo ny tanin'ny Amorita,

¹¹And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.

¹¹Ary ny zanakalahinareo nisy natsangako ho mpaminany, ary ny zatovonareo ho Nazirita. Tsy izany va no izy, ry Zanak'Isiraely? hoy Jehovah.

¹²But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

¹²Kanjo nampisotroinareo divay ny Nazirita, ary ny mpaminany noraranareo hoe: Aza maminany.

¹³Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

¹³Indro, Izaho no hitambesatra aminareo toy ny fitambesatry ny sariety feno amboara. [Na: Izaho dia itambesaranareo]

¹⁴Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

¹⁴Koa tsy ho afa-mandositra ny faingam-pandeha, ny mahery tsy hampiseho hery, ary ny lehilahy mahery tsy hahavonjy ny ainy;

¹⁵Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

¹⁵Izay mitana tsipìka tsy hahajanona, ary ny faingan-tongotra tsy hahavonjy tena, izay mitaingin-tsoavaly tsy hahavonjy ny ainy;Ary na dia izay sahy ao amin'ny mahery aza dia handositra mitanjaka amin'izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁶And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.

¹⁶Ary na dia izay sahy ao amin'ny mahery aza dia handositra mitanjaka amin'izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.
