| א וַיְהִי דְבַר-יְהוָה, אֵלַי לֵאמֹר. | 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: |
| ב בֶּן-אָדָם, שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ אֶל-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן; וְהִנָּבֵא, עֲלֵיהֶם. | 2 'Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them; |
| ג וְאָמַרְתָּ לִבְנֵי עַמּוֹן, שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר-אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה: כֹּה-אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן אָמְרֵךְ הֶאָח אֶל-מִקְדָּשִׁי כִי-נִחָל, וְאֶל-אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי נָשַׁמָּה, וְאֶל-בֵּית יְהוּדָה, כִּי הָלְכוּ בַּגּוֹלָה. | 3 and say unto the children of Ammon: Hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou saidst: Aha! against My sanctuary, when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity; |
| ד לָכֵן הִנְנִי נֹתְנָךְ לִבְנֵי-קֶדֶם לְמוֹרָשָׁה, וְיִשְּׁבוּ טִירוֹתֵיהֶם בָּךְ, וְנָתְנוּ בָךְ, מִשְׁכְּנֵיהֶם; הֵמָּה יֹאכְלוּ פִרְיֵךְ, וְהֵמָּה יִשְׁתּוּ חֲלָבֵךְ. | 4 therefore, behold, I will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. |
| ה וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-רַבָּה לִנְוֵה גְמַלִּים, וְאֶת-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן לְמִרְבַּץ-צֹאן; וִידַעְתֶּם, כִּי-אֲנִי יְהוָה. {פ} | 5 And I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place for flocks; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. {P} |
| ו כִּי כֹה אָמַר, אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, יַעַן מַחְאֲךָ יָד, וְרַקְעֲךָ בְּרָגֶל; וַתִּשְׂמַח בְּכָל-שָׁאטְךָ בְּנֶפֶשׁ, אֶל-אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל. | 6 For thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the disdain of thy soul against the land of Israel; |
| ז לָכֵן הִנְנִי נָטִיתִי אֶת-יָדִי עָלֶיךָ, וּנְתַתִּיךָ לבג לְבַז לַגּוֹיִם, וְהִכְרַתִּיךָ מִן-הָעַמִּים, וְהַאֲבַדְתִּיךָ מִן-הָאֲרָצוֹת; אַשְׁמִידְךָ, וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּי-אֲנִי יְהוָה. {פ} | 7 therefore, behold, I stretch out My hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries; I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. {P} |
| ח כֹּה אָמַר, אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה: יַעַן, אֲמֹר מוֹאָב וְשֵׂעִיר, הִנֵּה כְּכָל-הַגּוֹיִם, בֵּית יְהוּדָה. | 8 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because that Moab and Seir do say: Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the nations, |
| ט לָכֵן הִנְנִי פֹתֵחַ אֶת-כֶּתֶף מוֹאָב, מֵהֶעָרִים--מֵעָרָיו, מִקָּצֵהוּ: צְבִי, אֶרֶץ בֵּית הַיְשִׁימֹת--בַּעַל מְעוֹן, וקריתמה וְקִרְיָתָיְמָה. | 9 therefore, behold, I will open the flank of Moab on the side of the cities, on the side of his cities which are on his frontiers, the beauteous country of Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, |
| י לִבְנֵי-קֶדֶם עַל-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן, וּנְתַתִּיהָ לְמוֹרָשָׁה, לְמַעַן לֹא-תִזָּכֵר בְּנֵי-עַמּוֹן, בַּגּוֹיִם. | 10 together with the children of Ammon, unto the children of the east, and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations; |
| יא וּבְמוֹאָב, אֶעֱשֶׂה שְׁפָטִים; וְיָדְעוּ, כִּי-אֲנִי יְהוָה. {פ} | 11 and I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD. {P} |
| יב כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, יַעַן עֲשׂוֹת אֱדוֹם בִּנְקֹם נָקָם לְבֵית יְהוּדָה--וַיֶּאְשְׁמוּ אָשׁוֹם, וְנִקְּמוּ בָהֶם. | 12 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; |
| יג לָכֵן, כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, וְנָטִתִי יָדִי עַל-אֱדוֹם, וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֶּנָּה אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה; וּנְתַתִּיהָ חָרְבָּה מִתֵּימָן, וּדְדָנֶה בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ. | 13 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: I will stretch out My hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman, even unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword. |
| יד וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-נִקְמָתִי בֶּאֱדוֹם, בְּיַד עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְעָשׂוּ בֶאֱדוֹם, כְּאַפִּי וְכַחֲמָתִי; וְיָדְעוּ, אֶת-נִקְמָתִי--נְאֻם, אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה. | 14 And I will lay My vengeance upon Edom by the hand of My people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to Mine anger and according to My fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD. |
| טו כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, יַעַן עֲשׂוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים בִּנְקָמָה; וַיִּנָּקְמוּ נָקָם בִּשְׁאָט בְּנֶפֶשׁ, לְמַשְׁחִית אֵיבַת עוֹלָם. | 15 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with disdain of soul to destroy, for the old hatred; |
| טז לָכֵן, כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, הִנְנִי נוֹטֶה יָדִי עַל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים, וְהִכְרַתִּי אֶת-כְּרֵתִים; וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי, אֶת-שְׁאֵרִית חוֹף הַיָּם. | 16 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will stretch out My hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea-coast. |
| יז וְעָשִׂיתִי בָם נְקָמוֹת גְּדֹלוֹת, בְּתוֹכְחוֹת חֵמָה; וְיָדְעוּ כִּי-אֲנִי יְהוָה, בְּתִתִּי אֶת-נִקְמָתִי בָּם. {פ} | 17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them.' {P} |
