25  I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki nga tama a Amona, ka poropiti i te he mo ratou.

Mea atu hoki ki nga tama a Amona, Whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki a Ihowa; Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mea mai na koe, Ha! ki toku wahi tapu i te mea e whakapokea ana; ki te oneone ano o Iharaira i te mea ka ururuatia, ki te wh are ano o Hura i a ratou ka riro ki te whakarau:

Mo reira tenei ahau te hoatu nei i a koe hei kainga ki nga tamariki o te rawhiti, a ka whakaturia e ratou o ratou puni ki a koe, ka hanga ano o ratou kainga ki a koe: ka pau i a ratou au hua, ka inumia e ratou tau waiu.

Ka meinga ano e ahau a Rapa hei kainga kamera, me nga tama ano a Amona hei tapapatanga hipi: a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Na, kua papaki na ou ringa, kua takahi ou waewae, pau katoa tou ngakau ki te koa, he kino nou ki te whenua o Iharaira;

Mo reira, na, kua totoro atu toku ringa ki a koe, a kua tukua koe e ahau hei pahuatanga ma nga iwi; ka hatepea atu koe e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huna ano koe e ahau i roto i nga whenua: ka whakangaromia koe e ahau; a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kua mea nei a Moapa raua ko Heira, Nana, kua rite te whare o Hura ki nga iwi katoa;

Mo reira tenei ahau te mea nei kia takoto kau te taha o Moapa i nga pa, i ona pa i ona rohe, te kororia o te whenua, i Peteiehimoto, i Paarameono, i Kiriataima,

10 Tae noa ki nga tama o te rawhiti, kia haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Amona, a ka tukua ratou e ahau hei kainga tupu, e kore ai e maharatia nga tama a Amona i roto i nga iwi.

11 Ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa ki a Moapa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

12 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mahia na e Eroma he he mo te whare o Hura, kua rapu utu, kua nui to ratou kino, kua rapu utu i a ratou;

13 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ka totoro ano toku ringa ki a Eroma, ka hatepea atu nga tangata me nga kararehe o reira; ka meinga ano e ahau te ritenga atu o Temana hei ururua, ka hinga ano nga tangata, a tae atu ana ki Rerana, i te hoari.

14 Ka tukua atu ano e ahau taku rapu utu ki a Eroma, ma taku iwi, ma Iharaira e mahi; ka meatia ano e ratou i roto i a Eroma nga mea e rite ana ki toku riri, ki toku weriweri; a ka mohio ratou ki taku rapu utu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

15 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He rapu utu nei te mahi a nga Pirihitini, he kino nei te ngakau i rapu utu ai ratou, he mea kia ngaro, he mauahara tuturu;

16 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana ka totoro toku ringa ki nga Pirihitini, a ka hatepea atu e ahau nga Keretimi, ka huna ano e ahau nga morehu o te tahatai.

17 He nui hoki nga rapunga utu e mahia e ahau ki a ratou, weriweri rawa nga whakatupehupehunga; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina tukua e ahau taku rapu utu ki a ratou.

A Prophecy Against Ammon

25 The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against(A) the Ammonites(B) and prophesy against them.(C) Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you said “Aha!(D)” over my sanctuary when it was desecrated(E) and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,(F) therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East(G) as a possession. They will set up their camps(H) and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.(I) I will turn Rabbah(J) into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.(K) Then you will know that I am the Lord. For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands(L) and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,(M) therefore I will stretch out my hand(N) against you and give you as plunder(O) to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy(P) you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(Q)’”

A Prophecy Against Moab

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Moab(R) and Seir(S) said, “Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,” therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns—Beth Jeshimoth(T), Baal Meon(U) and Kiriathaim(V)—the glory of that land. 10 I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered(W) among the nations; 11 and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”(X)

A Prophecy Against Edom

12 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Edom(Y) took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so, 13 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand(Z) against Edom and kill both man and beast.(AA) I will lay it waste, and from Teman(AB) to Dedan(AC) they will fall by the sword.(AD) 14 I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger(AE) and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”(AF)

A Prophecy Against Philistia

15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because the Philistines(AG) acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice(AH) in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah, 16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines,(AI) and I will wipe out the Kerethites(AJ) and destroy those remaining along the coast.(AK) 17 I will carry out great vengeance(AL) on them and punish(AM) them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord,(AN) when I take vengeance on them.(AO)’”

25 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

And say unto the Ammonites, 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 desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;

Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.

And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

For thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

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;

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

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.

15 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

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.
