¹耶路撒冷的遭遇亞利伊勒、亞利伊勒（“亞利伊勒”意即“祭壇的爐”，代表耶路撒冷），大衛曾在此安營的城啊，有禍了！雖然你一年又一年按時舉行節期，

¹Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

²我卻要使亞利伊勒受困苦，成了一座充滿悲傷哀號的城，我要以它為亞利伊勒。

²then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth or, Ariel .

³我必四面安營攻擊你，築起攻城的臺來圍困你，堆起高壘攻擊你。

³I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.

⁴你必降低，從地中說話；你說的話必細微，如同出於塵土；你的聲音必像交鬼者的聲音，從地裡出來；你的言語必像耳語般低微，如同出於塵土。

⁴You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.

⁵但你敵人的數量必多如灰塵，那些強暴者的數量也多如被吹散的糠秕，這必在頃刻之間，突然發生。

⁵But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.

⁶萬軍之耶和華必用雷轟、地震、大聲、旋風、暴風和吞滅人的火燄來懲罰他們。

⁶She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.

⁷那時，所有攻擊亞利伊勒的列國眾軍，就是所有攻擊亞利伊勒和它的堡壘，以及迫害它的，必如夢景，如夜間的異象。

⁷The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

⁸又像飢餓的人在夢中吃飯，醒了以後，仍然覺得飢餓；又像口渴的人在夢中喝水，醒了以後，仍然覺得口渴，心裡還是想喝。那攻打錫安山的列國眾軍，也必這樣。

⁸It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

⁹責人民無知與偽善你們留連吧，自我蒙蔽，繼續盲目吧！你們醉了，卻與酒無關，你們東倒西歪，也不是因為濃酒的緣故。

⁹Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

¹⁰因為耶和華把沉睡的靈，傾倒在你們身上；他緊閉你們的眼，就是先知；蒙蓋你們的頭，就是先見。

¹⁰For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.

¹¹對你們來說，整個異象就像密封的書卷的話，人把這書卷交給識字的，說：“請念吧！”他必回答：“我不能念，因為它是密封的。”

¹¹All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed:”

¹²人又把這書卷交給不識字的人，說：“請念吧！”他必回答：“我不識字。”

¹²and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t read.”

¹³主說：“因為這子民只用言語來親近我，用嘴唇尊崇我，他們的心卻遠離我。他們對我的敬畏，只是遵從傳統的吩咐。

¹³The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

¹⁴因此，看哪！我要再向這子民施行奇事，就是奇妙又奇妙的事；他們智慧人的智慧必要消沒，他們聰明人的聰明必被隱藏。”

¹⁴therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”

¹⁵那些向耶和華深藏謀略的人，有禍了！他們在暗中行事，說：“誰看見我們？誰知道我們？”

¹⁵Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”

¹⁶你們顛倒事理了！窯匠怎能被看作泥土呢？被造的怎能對造它的說：“他沒有造我”？製成品怎可對製成它的說：“他不聰明”？

¹⁶You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding?”

¹⁷謙卑者將來的快樂不是還有一點點的時候，黎巴嫩就要變為肥田，肥田就要被看為樹林嗎？

¹⁷Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?

¹⁸到那日，聾子必聽見這書卷上的話；瞎子的眼，必在迷蒙黑暗中也能看見。

¹⁸In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

¹⁹困苦的必因耶和華增添喜樂；貧窮的人必因以色列的聖者而快樂。

¹⁹The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰因為強暴人歸於無有，好譏笑人的必被滅絕；所有意圖行惡的，必被剪除。

²⁰For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—

²¹他們只用一句話就定了人的罪，又設下網羅來陷害城門口那執行裁判的，用毫無根據的事屈枉義人。

²¹who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

²²因此，曾經救贖亞伯拉罕的耶和華，論到雅各家時，這樣說：“雅各今後必不再羞愧，他的臉容也不再變為蒼白，

²²Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.

²³因為他看見了他的子孫在他中間，就是我手所作的。他們必尊我的名為聖，必尊雅各的聖者為聖，也必敬畏以色列的　神。

²³But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

²⁴那些心中迷惑的，必明白真理，那些發怨言的，必接受教訓。”

²⁴They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
