1 Concerning the Ammonites:

This is what the Lord says:

“Has Israel no sons?

Has Israel no heir?

Why then has Molek taken possession of Gad?

Why do his people live in its towns?

1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord;

Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir?

Why then doth their king inherit Gad,

And his people dwell in his cities?

1 This message was given concerning the Ammonites. This is what the Lord says:

“Are there no descendants of Israel

to inherit the land of Gad?

Why are you, who worship Molech,

living in its towns?

1 Against the Ammonites. Thus says the Lord:

“Has Israel no sons?

Has he no heir?

Why then does Milcom inherit Gad,

And his people dwell in its cities?

1 This message is to the Ammonite people.

This is what the Lord says:

“Do you think that Israel has no children?

Do you think there is no one to take the land when the parents die?

If that were true, why did Molech take Gad’s land

and why did Molech’s people settle in Gad’s towns?”

1 Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?

1 Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? Why is Malcam heir of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?

1 This is what the Lord says about the people of Ammon: 

Doesn’t Israel have any children? Doesn’t it have any heirs? 

Why, then, has the god Milcomtaken over the inheritance 

of Gad’s descendants? 

Why do Milcom’s people live in Gad’s cities? 

1 About the Ammonites, this is what the Lord says:

Does Israel have no sons?

Is he without an heir?

Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad

and his people settled in their cities?

1 Concerning the Ammonites.

Thus says the Lord:

Has Israel no sons?

Has he no heir?

Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad,

and his people settled in its towns?

1 Concerning the Ammonites: Thus says Yahweh,

“Are there no sons for Israel?

Or is there no heir for him?

Why has Milcom taken possession of Gad,

and his people dwelled in its towns?

1 Here is what the Lord says about the people of Ammon.

He says,

“Doesn’t Israel have any sons?

Doesn’t Israel have anyone

to take over the family property?

Then why has the god Molech taken over Gad?

Why do those who worship him live in its towns?

1 Concerning the sons of Ammon. Thus says the Lord:

“Does Israel have no sons?

Or has he no heirs?

Why then has Malcam taken possession of Gad

And his people settled in its cities?
