爾貪不義之利、以富其家、營巢甚高、求免災害、禍必不遠、

为本家积蓄不义之财、在高处搭窝、指望免灾的有祸了！

祸哉！那为本家积蓄不义之财、在高处搭窝、指望得免灾祸的人！

祸哉！那为本家积蓄不义之财、在高处搭窝、指望得免灾祸的人！

“为自己的家积蓄不义之财、在高处搭窝躲避灾祸的人啊，你们有祸了！

禍哉！那為本家積蓄不義之財、在高處搭窩、指望得免災禍的人！

禍哉！那為本家積蓄不義之財、在高處搭窩、指望得免災禍的人！

「為自己的家積蓄不義之財、在高處搭窩躲避災禍的人啊，你們有禍了！

你這為自己的家積聚不義之財，在高處搭窩，以逃避災害的，有禍了！

為自己的家積蓄着不義的臭錢，去在高處搭窩，指望着安穩、免受災禍之掌握的、有禍啊！

獲不義之財、以富其家、營巢於高處、以避凶暴之手、其人禍哉、

禍哉爾歟、為己家積不義之財、結巢於高處、求免災害、

“ Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, setting his nest on high to escape the clutches of ruin!

“ How terrible it will be for the Babylonians! They build their kingdom with money that they gained by cheating others. They have tried to make the kingdom as secure as possible. After all, they did not want to be destroyed.

“ Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of harm!

“ What sorrow awaits you who build big houses with money gained dishonestly! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger.

Woe to him who dishonestly makes wealth for his house to place his nest on high, to escape the grasp of disaster!

“ Woe to him who makes evil profit for his household, To put his nest on high, To be saved from the hand of catastrophe!

“ Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house, That he may set his nest on high, That he may be delivered from the power of disaster!

Woe to him that getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!

Woe to him who dishonestly makes wealth for his house to place his nest on high, to escape from the reach of disaster!

Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

The one who builds his house by unjust gain is as good as dead. He does this so he can build his nest way up high and escape the clutches of disaster.

Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!

爾居山巖、險隘、危迫之地、心志倨傲、至於自迷、爾巢雖高、譬彼神鷹、我耶和華必使爾降為卑。

我復仰觀、見卷軸一舒、有若翻飛、天使問曰、爾觀何物、曰、我觀卷軸一舒、有若翻飛、長二丈、廣一丈、天使曰、此咒詛之詞、遍行天下、凡盜竊者、必殲滅於左、凡妄誓者、必殲滅於右、俱循此言。萬有之主耶和華曰、我出此卷、使入盜竊者之宅、又入指我名而妄誓者之宅、恆居其中、燬其木石、

上帝僕以利沙之從者、其哈西私念曰、我主釋此亞蘭人乃慢、不受其所饋、我指耶和華以誓、我將追之、冀有少得。於是從乃慢後。乃慢見其趨至、則下車迓之曰、安乎。曰安、我主遣我告爾、曰、今有先知之徒、年少者二人、自以法蓮山來就我、請以銀一千五百、及衣二襲與之。乃慢曰、請受三千、促之而許。遂取銀三千、盛於二囊、與衣二襲、使二僕負之以行、在其哈西前。至於山岡則受之、藏於室中、遂遣二僕往。進立於主前。以利沙曰、其哈西從何而至。曰、僕無所往。曰彼下車迓爾之時、我心非與爾同在乎。此時豈可受人所饋、或金、或衣、以售橄欖圃、葡萄園、牛羊僕婢乎。故乃慢之癩、必移於爾、及爾苗裔、歷世勿愈、遂出成癩、皓白如雪。

我見於貨財中、自示拿至之美衣、銀百兩、金片二十五兩、則貪而取之、今在幕中、藏於地、銀置於下。約書亞遣人趨幕、果在幕中、銀置於下。攜至約書亞、及以色列族、置於耶和華前。約書亞暨以色列族、取西喇孫亞干、與金銀衣服、及子女、牛羊、驢幕、與凡所有、至亞割谷。約書亞曰、爾何貽禍於我、今日耶和華必禍爾。時以色列族擊之以石、爇之以火、堆石為岡、以掩其上、至今猶存。於是耶和華息其烈怒、人名其地亞割谷、至於今日尚有此稱。

飽其欲而自矜、取不義而自足、於耶和華而欺之兮。惡者驕泰、以為上帝不加考察、而屬於虛無兮、既所為之如志、復災眚之弗及、所以藐視讐敵兮、以為吾身不遭憂患、子孫不至艱危兮、

揣彼之心、意謂家必恆存、室可垂後、聲名揚於寰宇兮、

羅得妻回顧、變為鹽柱。亞伯拉罕夙興、至昔覲耶和華之處、望所多馬蛾摩拉、與平原一境、則見烟焰騰上、如出洪爐。當上帝翦滅平原、傾覆羅得所居之邑時、眷念亞伯拉罕、拯羅得出於災、羅得懼居瑣耳、故偕二女離其邑、處於山、同居巖穴。長女謂季女曰、吾父已老、斯土又無人、與我為偶、以循人道、莫若使父飲酒、而與偕寢、以存其後。是夜使父飲酒、長女與之寢、女之卧起、父不及知。翌日、長女謂季女曰、我昨與父偕寢、今夕仍飲以酒、爾可偕寢、以存其後。是夜亦使父飲酒、季女偕寢、女之卧起、父亦不知、羅得二女、由此懷妊、長女生子、命名摩押、為摩押族之祖。季女亦生子、命名便亞米、為亞捫族之祖。

雕刻之像、像上帝者、乃爾上帝耶和華所惡、必燬以火、如其上飾以金銀、爾毋貪毋取、恐陷爾於罪。毋攜可惡之物入室、必憾之絕之、不然、爾必見絕、有類於彼。

爾自謂必永為主母、不深思此理、不慮後患。然爾淫佚之婦、僣稱主母、自謂無能比儗、必不夫亡子喪。吾語汝、一日之間、夫喪子殤、二難並至。爾惑左道、信巫覡、邪慝方張、患難已集、

其時所多馬蛾摩拉未為耶和華所滅。自約但平原至於瑣耳、土皆潤澤、猶耶和華園、可與埃及相頡頑、羅得瞻望及之、故擇約但平原而東徙、於是二人相別。亞伯蘭居迦南地、羅得寓平原之邑、張幕於所多馬。所多馬人作惡、重獲罪於耶和華。

曰、彼其之子、輕上帝之能力、恃一己之貨財、強悍作惡兮、

夫斯人固與我同列、共任此職者也、乃竟以不義之償購田、身仆腹裂腸流、耶路撒冷居民悉知之、故方言呼其田、曰、啞嘩𠯈嗎、即血田是、詩云、其屋宜墟、無人宅之、其督之職、他人任之、凡我同會時、見我主耶穌往來、自約翰施洗至耶穌升天之日宜更有一人、共證耶穌復生、於是、舉二人、其一約瑟、名巴撒巴、又名猶士都、其二馬提亞、眾祈曰、主識眾心、請擇於斯二者、示孰為可、以任使徒職、蓋猶大離此職、往其所矣、

彼行該隱之途、以其貪利、故謬則從巴蘭、逆則效哥喇、烏能弗敗、

告之曰、耶和華云、汝豈非殺人而據其業乎。又云、犬舐拿泊之血於其處、亦必舐爾之血。亞哈曰、爾為我敵、今乃與我相遇乎。曰、我遇爾者、因爾在耶和華前、惟惡是務。耶和華必降災於爾、絶爾後裔、不遺一男、爾之子孫、在以色列族中、自主及僕、靡有孑遺。必使爾家如尼八子耶羅破暗之家、亦如亞希雅子巴沙之家、因爾干其震怒、使以色列族陷罪。論及耶洗別、耶和華云、近耶斯烈城、耶洗別必為犬所噬。凡亞哈所屬者、死於城邑、犬必食之、死於曠野、飛鳥食之。

亞哈告拿泊曰、爾之園囿、鄰我宮闈、爾當給我為圃、或易以佳園、或予以所值、任爾擇焉。拿泊曰、是業乃我祖所遺、爾欲得之。我指耶和華以誓、斷不能從。亞哈聞言、知其不欲以祖遺業予人、憂憤交集、歸卧於床、面壁不食。

爾曹自謂與死亡結約、與陰府訂盟、天降大雨、行潦汎濫、必不及於斯土、我惟誑詞是恃、而適以自欺。

富人視財若鞏固之邑、高峻之垣。驕泰者敗亡繼之、謙遜者尊榮被之。

人以非義之利、建造宅第、用人之力、不償其工者、禍必不遠、彼曰、廣廈崇室、余必搆造、啟其窗牗、以柏香木為板、塗以丹艧。耶和華曰、爾雖以柏香木為板、以示華美、豈得恆居王位。爾父日用飲食、躬行仁義、而享福祉、彼為貧乏伸冤、既識我道、遂得亨通、

蓋剝奪其民、至於貧乏、則遺棄之、人所建之第宅、則強據之。其衷懷不能恬適、其嗜好不能長存。其所食無餘、其享福不永。即當隆盛之時、必遇困厄、受其虐遇者、必群起而攻擊。彼既飽其貪饕、上帝震怒、降災如下雨、使之備嘗。雖避鐵器、而傷於銅弓。利鏃白刃、深入其膽、拔而出之、不勝戰栗、災害臨之、電火焚之、居其室者、咸遇患難。天癉其惡、地罰其罪。臨難之日、凡其所有、必盡消亡。

爾雖高飛、譬諸神鷹、結巢於星間、我耶和華必俾爾下墜、
