Vēstījums par amoniešiem
1 Kunga vārds nāca pār mani: 2 “Cilvēka dēls, pagriezies pret Amona dēliem un pravieto par tiem. 3 Saki Amona dēliem: klausieties Kunga Dieva vārdu: tā saka Kungs Dievs: tādēļ ka jūs sakāt – redzi, nu! – par manu svētvietu, kas sagānīta, un par Israēla zemi, kas izdeldēta, un par Jūdas namu, kas aizvests trimdā, – 4 tādēļ es jūs atdošu īpašumā austrumniekiem, tie pie tevis uzcels savas nometnes un teltis un ēdīs tavus augļus, un dzers tavu pienu. 5 Es padarīšu Rabu par kamieļu ganībām un Amona dēlus par avju kūti, tad jūs zināsiet, ka es esmu Kungs!
6 Jo tā saka Kungs Dievs: tādēļ ka tu plaukšķināji, dauzīji kājām, priecājies un nicināji Israēla zemi, 7 tādēļ es pacelšu roku pret tevi un atdošu tevi tautām par laupījumu un es tevi iznīdēšu no tautām. Es tevi izdeldēšu no zemes virsas, es tevi iznīcināšu, tad tu zināsi, ka es esmu Kungs!
Vēstījums par Moābu
8 Tā saka Kungs Dievs: Moābs un Seīrs saka: Jūdas nams ir tāds pats kā visas citas tautas! 9 Tādēļ es atvēršu Moāba sānus – sākot no pilsētām, viņa robežpilsētām Bēt-Ješīmotas, Baal-Meonas un Kirjataimas, no viņa zemes daiļuma. 10 Es tās atdošu īpašumā austrumniekiem – klāt pie Amona dēliem, lai tautas vairs nepiemin Amona dēlus. 11 Es Moābam spriedīšu tiesu, tad tie zinās, ka es esmu Kungs!
Vēstījums par Edomu
12 Tā saka Kungs Dievs: tādēļ ka Edoms ir atriebies Jūdas namam un atriebdams ļoti sagrēkojis, 13 tādēļ, Kungs Dievs saka, es pacelšu roku pret Edomu un iznīdēšu viņa ļaudis un lopus! Es iznīdēšu! No Tēmānas līdz Dedānai tie kritīs no zobena! 14 Es atriebšu Edomam savu Israēla tautu! Un tie Edomam darīs pēc manām dusmām un niknuma, tad tie zinās, kas ir atriebība, saka Kungs Dievs.
Vēstījums par filistiešiem
15 Tā saka Kungs Dievs: tādēļ ka filistieši riebtin ir atriebušies, no sirds kārodami nebeidzamu postu un naidu, 16 tādēļ, Kungs Dievs saka, es pacelšu roku pret filistiešiem, es iznīdēšu krētiešus un izdeldēšu jūras malā atlikušos! 17 Es tiem atriebšos katrā ziņā – ar niknu atmaksu, tad tie zinās, ka es esmu Kungs, es tiem atriebšos!”
Prophecy against Ammon
1 The Lord spoke to me. 2 “Mortal man,” he said, “denounce the country of Ammon. 3 Tell them to listen to what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying: You were delighted to see my Temple profaned, to see the land of Israel devastated, to see the people of Judah go into exile. 4 Because you were glad, I will let the tribes from the eastern desert conquer you. They will set up their camps in your country and settle there. They will eat the fruit and drink the milk that should have been yours. 5 I will turn the city of Rabbah into a place to keep camels, and the whole country of Ammon will become a place to keep sheep, so that you will know I am the Lord.
6 “This is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: You clapped your hands and jumped for joy. You despised the land of Israel. 7 Because you did, I will hand you over to other nations who will rob you and plunder you. I will destroy you so completely that you will not be a nation any more or have a country of your own. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
Prophecy against Moab
8 The Sovereign Lord said, “Because Moab has said that Judah is like all the other nations, 9 I will let the cities that defend the border of Moab be attacked, including even the finest cities—Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim. 10 I will let the tribes of the eastern desert conquer Moab, together with Ammon, so that Moab will no longer be a nation. 11 I will punish Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.”
Prophecy against Edom
12 The Sovereign Lord said, “The people of Edom took cruel revenge on Judah, and that revenge has brought lasting guilt on Edom. 13 Now I announce that I will punish Edom and kill every person and animal there. I will make it a wasteland, from the city of Teman to the city of Dedan, and the people will be killed in battle. 14 My people Israel will take revenge on Edom for me, and they will make Edom feel my furious anger. Edom will know what it means to be the object of my revenge.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
Prophecy against Philistia
15 The Sovereign Lord said, “The Philistines have taken cruel revenge on their agelong enemies and destroyed them in their hate. 16 And so I am announcing that I will attack the Philistines and wipe them out. I will destroy everyone left living there on the Philistine Plain. 17 I will punish them severely and take full revenge on them. They will feel my anger. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
