Chapter 2

2:1 [hgb]  耶 和 华 如 此 说 ， 摩 押 三 番 四 次 地 犯 罪 ， 我 必 不 免 去 她 的 刑 罚 。 因 为 她 将 以 东 王 的 骸 骨 焚 烧 成 灰 。 
    [kjv]  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions¹ 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:
    [bbe]  These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.
2:2 [hgb]  我 却 要 降 火 在 摩 押 ， 烧 灭 加 略 的 宫 殿 。 摩 押 必 在 哄 嚷 呐 喊 吹 角 之 中 死 亡 。 
    [kjv]  But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour² the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult³, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet⁴:
    [bbe]  And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:
2:3 [hgb]  我 必 剪 除 摩 押 中 的 审 判 者 ， 将 其 中 的 一 切 首 领 ， 和 他 一 同 杀 戮 。 这 是 耶 和 华 说 的 。 
    [kjv]  And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay⁵ all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
    [bbe]  And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.
2:4 [hgb]  耶 和 华 如 此 说 ， 犹 大 人 三 番 四 次 地 犯 罪 ， 我 必 不 免 去 他 们 的 刑 罚 。 因 为 他 们 厌 弃 耶 和 华 的 训 诲 ， 不 遵 守 他 的 律 例 。 他 们 列 祖 所 随 从 虚 假 的 偶 像 ， 使 他 们 走 迷 了 。 
    [kjv]  Thus 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 err⁶, after the which their fathers have walked:
    [bbe]  These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.
2:5 [hgb]  我 却 要 降 火 在 犹 大 ， 烧 灭 耶 路 撒 冷 的 宫 殿 。 
    [kjv]  But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
    [bbe]  And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.
2:6 [hgb]  耶 和 华 如 此 说 ， 以 色 列 人 三 番 四 次 地 犯 罪 ， 我 必 不 免 去 他 们 的 刑 罚 。 因 他 们 为 银 子 卖 了 义 人 ， 为 一 双 鞋 卖 了 穷 人 。 
    [kjv]  Thus 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;
    [bbe]  These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;
2:7 [hgb]  他 们 见 穷 人 头 上 所 蒙 的 灰 也 都 垂 涎 。 阻 碍 谦 卑 人 的 道 路 。 父 子 同 一 个 女 子 行 淫 ， 亵 渎 我 的 圣 名 。 
    [kjv]  That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek⁷: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane⁸ my holy name:
    [bbe]  Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:
2:8 [hgb]  他 们 在 各 坛 旁 ， 铺 人 所 当 的 衣 服 ， 卧 在 其 上 。 又 在 他 们 神 的 庙 中 ， 喝 受 罚 之 人 的 酒 。 
    [kjv]  And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned⁹ in the house of their god.
    [bbe]  By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.
2:9 [hgb]  我 从 以 色 列 人 面 前 除 灭 亚 摩 利 人 。 他 虽 高 大 如 香 柏 树 ， 坚 固 如 橡 树 ， 我 却 上 灭 他 的 果 子 ， 下 绝 他 的 根 本 。 
    [kjv]  Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars¹⁰, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
    [bbe]  Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar¹¹ and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.
2:10 [hgb]  我 也 将 你 们 从 埃 及 地 领 上 来 ， 在 旷 野 引 导 你 们 四 十 年 ， 使 你 们 得 亚 摩 利 人 之 地 为 业 。 
    [kjv]  Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness¹², to possess the land of the Amorite.
    [bbe]  And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.
2:11 [hgb]  我 从 你 们 子 弟 中 兴 起 先 知 ， 又 从 你 们 少 年 人 中 兴 起 拿 细 耳 人 。 以 色 列 人 哪 ， 不 是 这 样 吗 ？ 这 是 耶 和 华 说 的 。 
    [kjv]  And 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.
    [bbe]  And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.
2:12 [hgb]  你 们 却 给 拿 细 耳 人 酒 喝 ， 嘱 咐 先 知 说 ， 不 要 说 预 言 。 
    [kjv]  But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy¹³ not.
    [bbe]  But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.
2:13 [hgb]  看 哪 ， 在 你 们 所 住 之 地 ， 我 必 压 你 们 ， 如 同 装 满 禾 捆 的 车 压 物 一 样 。 
    [kjv]  Behold¹⁴, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
    [bbe]  See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.
2:14 [hgb]  快 跑 的 不 能 逃 脱 ， 有 力 的 不 能 用 力 ， 刚 勇 的 也 不 能 自 救 。 
    [kjv]  Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty¹⁵ deliver himself:
    [bbe]  And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:
2:15 [hgb]  拿 弓 的 不 能 站 立 ， 腿 快 的 不 能 逃 脱 。 骑 马 的 也 不 能 自 救 。 
    [kjv]  Neither 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.
    [bbe]  And the bowman will not keep his place; he who is quick-footed will not get away safely: and the horseman will not keep his life.
2:16 [hgb]  到 那 日 ， 勇 士 中 最 有 胆 量 的 ， 必 赤 身 逃 跑 。 这 是 耶 和 华 说 的 。 
    [kjv]  And he that is courageous¹⁶ among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
    [bbe]  And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
