For from Samaria to the courts of Jerusalem and through all its surrounding districts they laid siege, and they slew with the edge of the sword until they left none remaining except a few; for the Edomites, the Syrians, and the Amalekites had joined with the Moabite Meqabis, who destroyed the city of Jerusalem.

他們從撒瑪利亞直到耶路撒冷的院宇，並其四圍一切地區都安營圍困，又用刀劍殺戮，直到除了少數人之外無一存留；因為以東人、敘利亞人和亞瑪力人都與摩押人梅加比斯聯合，這人毀滅了耶路撒冷城。

And the Edomites and the Philistines encamped there and began to take vengeance upon the land of the Lord, for He Himself had sent them because the people had been false to the word of the Lord.

他們在米所波大米的革拉布耶一帶安營，直到敘利亞，要毀滅主的地。他在那裡懇求非利士人和亞瑪力人，給他們許多金銀、馬匹和戰車，使他們在他的悖逆中與他同夥。

他們使耶路撒冷如同看守葡萄園之人的草棚，又在其中行污穢、羞辱，以及一切主所不喜悅的事，就是污穢的行為；他們玷污了主的地，那地本是充滿公義和聖潔的。

1:10

ወረሰዩ፡ አብድንቲሆሙ፡ ለአግብርቲከ፡ መብልዓ፡ ለአዕዋፈ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወሥጋሆሙኒ፡ ለጻድቃኒከ፡ ለአራዊተ፡ ገዳም።
