[Some time later, ] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu gị nʼala ụmụ Amọn buo amụma megide ha.
“You human, turn toward where the Ammon people- [lives], and prophesy [what will happen to] them.

Say about them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You shouted joyfully when my [in Jerusalem] was destroyed, and when the country/land of Israel was ruined, and when the people of Judah were (exiled/forced to go) [to Babylonia].

Therefore, I am going to allow you to be conquered by people [who will come] from the east. They will set up their tents in your country and live there. And they will eat the fruit from [fruit trees] and drink the [from your cattle].
5 Aga m eme ka obodo Raba ghọọ ebe ịta nri nye ịnyịnya kamel, meekwa ka ala Amọn ghọọ ebe igwe ewu na atụrụ na-amakpu. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
I will [your capital city] Rabbah to become a pasture for camels, and the rest of Ammon to [only] a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
6 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Nʼihi na ị kụrụ aka gị, zọọ ụkwụ gị nʼala gidim, ma sitekwa nʼịkpọ asị nke obi gị ṅụrịa ọṅụ megide ala Izrel,
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “You clapped your [joyfully] and stomped your feet, and laughed because you despised [the people in] the land of Israel.

Therefore, I will use my power [MTY] against you, and I will enable [other] nations [conquer you and] take away your valuable possessions. I will destroy you completely [DOU], with the result that you no longer will be a nation. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
8 “Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ‘Nʼihi na Moab na Sia sịrị, “Lee, Juda adịrịla ka mba ndị ọzọ niile,”
This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[The people of] [south of Ammon] and [the people of] [south of Moab despised Israel and] said, ‘The people [MTY] of Israel have [as unimportant] as all the other nations!’
9 nʼihi nke a, aga m emeghe akụkụ Moab, site nʼobodo nke nsọtụ oke ala ya niile, bụ Bet-Jeshimọt, Baal-Meon na Kiriatem, nke bụ ebube nke ala ahụ.
Therefore, I will destroy the cities that protect the borders of Moab, starting at Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim, the finest cities in Moab.
10 Aga m ewere Moab na Amọn nyefee ha nʼaka ndị ga-esi nʼọwụwa anyanwụ pụta, ka ọ bụrụ nke ha. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, a gaghị agụkwa maọbụ cheta Amọn nʼetiti mba niile.
I will enable people from the east to conquer Moab and also to conquer Ammon. As a result, [I will cause that] Ammon will no longer be remembered by other nations.

I will also punish [the people of] Moab. When that happens, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
12 “Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ‘Nʼihi na Edọm bọọrọ onwe ha ọbọ megide ụlọ Juda sitekwa nʼịbọ ọbọ ha bụrụ ndị ikpe mara,
This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[You people of] Edom are guilty of getting revenge on the people [MTY] of Judah.

Therefore this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will use my power against [the people of] Edom and will get rid of their men and their animals. I will ruin the land from Teman [region in central Edom] to Dedan [region in the south of Edom], and many of their men will be killed [their enemies] swords.'
14 Ọ bụ site nʼaka ndị nke m Izrel ka m ga-esi bọọ ọbọ megide Edọm, ha ga-emeso ndị Edọm dịka ịba ụba nke iwe m na ọnụma m si dị, ha ga-amata ihe ịbọ ọbọ bụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
The Israeli people will use their power [MTY] to get revenge on [the people of] Edom. They will show [the people of] Edom that I have been angry with them, and I will punish [MTY] them. The people of Edom will experience my getting revenge on them. Then they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
15 “Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: ‘Nʼihi na ndị Filistia esitela na mmụọ nke ịbọ ọbọ, na mmụọ ịkpọ asị nke dị ha nʼobi bọọrọ onwe ha ọbọ, chọọ ịla ha nʼiyi.
This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “The Philistia people-group wanted very much to get revenge [on the people of Judah]. They very maliciously wanted to destroy [Judah].
16 Ya mere, ihe a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ana m aga isetipụ aka m megide ndị Filistia. Aga m ebipụ ndị Keret, bibie ndị ahụ niile bi nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri.
Therefore this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I am about to use my power [MTY] against the Philistia people. I will get rid of the Kereth people-group and all [those who live along] the coast of the [Mediterranean] Sea.
17 Aga m esite nʼoke ọnụma bọọ ha ọbọ site na ịta ha ahụhụ. Mgbe ahụ ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m ga-abọgwata ha ọbọ.’”
By the way I punish them, I will get great revenge on them and show that I am angry with them. And when I get revenge on them, they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
