Berean Standard Bible
1不知羞恥的國民哪，你們應當聚集！ 趁命令沒有發出， 日子過去如 風前的 糠， 耶和華的烈怒未臨到你們， 他發怒的日子未到以先， 你們應當聚集前來。
1Gather yourselves, gather together, O shameful nation,
no verse 2 in this text
2before the decree takes effect and the day passes like chaff, before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you, before the Day of the LORD’s anger comes upon you.
3世上遵守耶和華典章的謙卑人哪， 你們都當尋求耶和華！ 當尋求公義謙卑， 或者在耶和華發怒的日子可以隱藏起來。
3Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth who carry out His justice. Seek righteousness; seek humility. Perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger.
4迦薩 必致見棄； 亞實基倫 必然荒涼。 人在正午必趕出 亞實突 的民； 以革倫 也被拔出根來。
4For Gaza will be abandoned, and Ashkelon left in ruins. Ashdod will be driven out at noon, and Ekron will be uprooted.
5住沿海之地的 基利提 族有禍了！ 迦南 、 非利士 人之地啊，耶和華的話與你反對， 說 ：我必毀滅你，以致無人居住。
5Woe to the dwellers of the seacoast, O nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: “I will destroy you, and no one will be left.”
6沿海之地要變為草場， 其上有牧人的住處和羊群的圈。
6So the seacoast will become a land of pastures, with wells for shepherds and folds for sheep.
7這地必為 猶大 家剩下的人所得； 他們必在那裏牧放 群羊 ， 晚上必躺臥在 亞實基倫 的房屋中； 因為耶和華－他們的上帝必眷顧他們， 使他們被擄的人歸回。
7The coast will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; there they will find pasture. They will lie down in the evening among the houses of Ashkelon, for the LORD their God will attend to them and restore their captives.
8我聽見 摩押 人的毀謗和 亞捫 人的辱罵， 就是毀謗我的百姓，自誇自大， 侵犯他們的境界。
8“I have heard the reproach of Moab and the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted My people and threatened their borders.
9萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說： 我指着我的永生起誓： 摩押 必像 所多瑪 ， 亞捫 人必像 蛾摩拉 ， 都變為刺草、鹽坑、永遠荒廢之地。 我百姓所剩下的必擄掠他們； 我國中所餘剩的必得着他們的地。
9Therefore, as surely as I live,” declares the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, “surely Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah— a place of weeds and salt pits, a perpetual wasteland. The remnant of My people will plunder them; the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.”
10這事臨到他們是因他們驕傲，自誇自大， 毀謗萬軍之耶和華的百姓。
10This they shall have in return for their pride, for taunting and mocking the people of the LORD of Hosts.
11耶和華必向他們顯可畏之威， 因他必叫世上的諸神瘦弱。 列國海島的居民各在自己的地方敬拜他。
11The LORD will be terrifying to them when He starves all the gods of the earth. Then the nations of every shore will bow in worship to Him, each in its own place.
12古實 人哪，你們必被我的刀所殺。
12“You too, O Cushites, will be slain by My sword.”
13耶和華必伸手攻擊北方，毀滅 亞述 ， 使 尼尼微 荒涼，又乾旱如曠野。
13And He will stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria; He will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as a desert.
14群畜，就是各國的走獸必臥在其中； 鵜鶘和箭豬要宿在柱頂上。 在窗戶內有鳴叫的聲音； 門檻都必毀壞， 香柏木已經露出。
14Herds will lie down in her midst, creatures of every kind. Both the desert owl and screech owl will roost atop her pillars. Their calls will sound from the window, but desolation will lie on the threshold, for He will expose the beams of cedar.
15這是素來歡樂安然居住的城， 心裏說：惟有我，除我以外再沒有別的； 現在何竟荒涼成為野獸躺臥之處！ 凡經過的人都必搖手嗤笑她。
15This carefree city that dwells securely, that thinks to herself: “I am it, and there is none besides me,” what a ruin she has become, a resting place for beasts. Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.
