1 ASÍ ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Moab, y por el cuarto, no desviaré su castigo; porque quemó los huesos del rey de Idumea [hasta tornarlos] en cal.
2 I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

3 I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
3 Y quitaré el juez de en medio de él, y mataré con él á todos sus príncipes, dice Jehová.
4 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.
4 Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Judá, y por el cuarto, no desviaré su castigo; porque menospreciaron la ley de Jehová, y no guardaron sus ordenanzas; é hiciéronlos errar sus mentiras, en pos de las cuales anduvieron sus padres.
5 I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”

6 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
6 Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Israel, y por el cuarto, no desviaré su castigo; porque vendieron por dinero al justo, y al pobre por un par de zapatos:
7 They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.
7 Que anhelan porque haya polvo de tierra sobre la cabeza de los pobres, y tuercen el camino de los humildes: y el hombre y su padre entraron á la [misma] moza, profanando mi santo nombre.
8 They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.
8 Y sobre las ropas empeñadas se acuestan junto á cualquier altar; y el vino de los penados beben en la casa de sus dioses.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
9 Y yo destruí delante de ellos al Amorrheo, cuya altura era como la altura de los cedros, y fuerte como un alcornoque; y destruí su fruto arriba, sus raíces abajo.
10 Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorites.
10 Y yo os hice á vosotros subir de la tierra de Egipto, y os traje por el desierto cuarenta años, para que poseyeseis la tierra del Amorrheo.
11 I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
11 Y levanté de vuestros hijos para profetas, y de vuestros mancebos para que fuesen Nazareos. ¿No es esto así, dice Jehová, hijos de Israel?
12 But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
12 Mas vosotros disteis de beber vino á los Nazareos; y á los profetas mandasteis, diciendo: No profeticéis.
13 Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
13 Pues he aquí, yo [os] apretaré en vuestro lugar, como se aprieta el carro lleno de haces;
14 The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
14 Y la huída perecerá del ligero, y el fuerte no esforzará su fuerza, ni el valiente librará su vida;
15 The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
15 Y el que toma el arco no resistirá, ni escapará el ligero de pies, ni el que cabalga en caballo salvará su vida.
16 Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
16 El esforzado entre esforzados huirá desnudo aquel día, dice Jehová.
