1呼召以色列和犹大悔改
1If thou dost turn back, O Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, unto Me turn back, And if thou dost turn aside Thine abominations from My face, Then thou dost not bemoan.
2如果你凭真理、公正、公义，指着永活的耶和华起誓；列国就必因耶和华蒙福，也必以他为荣。”
2And thou hast sworn — Jehovah liveth, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And blessed themselves in Him have nations, And in Him they boast themselves.
3耶和华对犹大和耶路撒冷的人这样说：“你们要为自己开垦未经耕耘之地，却不要撒种在荆棘中！
3For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the thorns.
4犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪！你们要为了耶和华的缘故自行割礼，除去心里的污秽；不然，我的忿怒必因你们的恶行，如火一般发出来，无人能熄灭！”
4Be circumcised to Jehovah, And turn aside the foreskins of your heart, O man of Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury go out as fire, and hath burned, And there is none quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
5“你们应当在犹大宣告，在耶路撒冷传扬，说：‘要在境内吹号。’高声呼叫，说：‘你们要集合起来，我们要进到坚固的城里去！’
5Declare in Judah, and in Jerusalem sound, And say ye, `Blow a trumpet in the land,` Call ye fully, and say ye: `Be gathered, and we go in to the fenced city.`
6要向锡安竖起旗号，赶快逃命，不可停留，因为我必使灾祸与严重的毁灭，从北方而来。”
6Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great destruction.
7狮子从它的密林中上来了，毁坏列国的已经动身，从他的本处出发，为要使你的地荒凉，使你的城市破毁，无人居住。
7Gone up hath a lion from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations hath journeyed, He hath come forth from his place To make thy land become a desolation, Thy cities are laid waste, without inhabitant.
8因此，你们应当披上麻布，痛哭哀号，因为耶和华的烈怒，还没有离开我们。
8For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce anger of Jehovah hath not turned back from us.
9“到那日，君王和首领的勇气消失，祭司也要惊惶，先知都必诧异。”这是耶和华的宣告。
9And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah: `Perish doth the heart of the king, And the heart of the princes, And astonished have been the priests, And the prophets do wonder.`
10于是我说：“噢！主耶和华啊！你真的欺骗了这人民，也欺骗了耶路撒冷，说：‘你们必平安无事’，其实刀剑已经架在颈项上了！”
10And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, Surely thou hast entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem, saying, Peace is for you, And struck hath a sword unto the soul!`
11到那时，必有话对这人民和耶路撒冷说：“有一阵热风从旷野光秃的高冈，刮向我的子民（“我的子民”原文作“我子民的女子”），不是为簸散，也不是为扬净；
11At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem: `A dry wind of high places in the wilderness,` The way of the daughter of My people, (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing,)
12这过强的风要为我刮来，我就要向他们宣告我的判词。”
12A full wind from these doth come for Me, Now, also, I speak judgments with them.
13看哪！我必如密云涌聚，他的战车如旋风，他的马比鹰还快。我们有祸了，我们灭亡了！
13Lo, as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses, Wo to us, for we have been spoiled.
14耶路撒冷啊！洗净你心中的邪恶，使你可以得救！你心存恶念，要到几时呢？
14Wash from evil thy heart, O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be saved, Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy strength?
15因为有声音从但宣告，从以法莲山传出灾祸的警报。
15For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from mount Ephraim.
16“要向列国提说，向耶路撒冷宣扬：‘围攻的人从远地而来，向犹大的各城镇大声吶喊。
16Make ye mention to the nations, Lo, sound ye to Jerusalem: `Besiegers are coming from the land afar off, And they give forth against cities of Judah their voice.
17他们四面包围耶路撒冷，好像看守田地的人一样，因为耶路撒冷背叛了我。’”这是耶和华的宣告。
17As the keepers of a field They have been against her round about, For with Me she hath been rebellious, An affirmation of Jehovah.`
18“你这一切灾祸是你的所作所为作成的，这就是你的恶果，实在是苦，直透心底。”
18Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee, This [is] thy vexation, for [it is] bitter, For it hath struck unto thy heart.
19先知为 神的子民悲哀我的肺腑，我的肺腑啊！我绞痛欲绝。我的心哪！我的心在我里面颤抖，我不能缄默不语。我的灵啊！我听见了号角的声音，也听见了战争的吶喊。
19My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [at] the walls of my heart, Make a noise for me doth My heart, I am not silent, For the voice of a trumpet I have heard, O my soul — a shout of battle!
20毁灭的消息频传，因为全国尽都毁坏，我的帐棚忽然毁坏，我的幔子转瞬破裂。
20Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For spoiled hath been all the land, Suddenly spoiled have been my tents, In a moment — my curtains.
21我看见旗号要到几时呢？我听见号角的声音要到几时呢？
21Till when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a trumpet?
22“我的子民愚妄，他们连我都不认识，是无知的儿女，没有悟性；他们有智慧行恶，却没有知识行善。”
22For my people [are] foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons [are] they, yea, they [are] not intelligent, Wise [are] they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.
23我观看地，地是空虚混沌；我仰视天，天上也全然无光。
23I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto the heavens, and their light is not.
24我观看大山，它们尽都震动，小山也都摇来摇去。
24I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly.
25我观看，毫无人迹；空中的飞鸟也逃掉了。
25I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the heavens have fled.
26我观看，肥美田园变为荒野；在耶和华面前，就是在他烈怒之下，所有的城市都被拆毁。
26I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of Jehovah, Because of the fierceness of His anger.
27因为耶和华这样说：“全国都必荒凉，我却不尽行毁灭。
27For thus said Jehovah: All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not.
28因此，地要悲哀，天必昏暗。因为我说过，就不后悔；我定了意，决不改变。”
28For this doth the land mourn, And black have been the heavens above, because I have spoken — I have purposed, And I have not repented, Nor do I turn back from it.
29因着骑兵和弓箭手的响声，各城的人尽都逃跑。他们进入密林，爬上岩穴；各城都被撇下，无人住在其中。
29From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with the bow, all the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets, And on cliffs they have gone up, All the city is forsaken, And there is no one dwelling in them.
30你这被毁坏的啊！你在干什么？即使你穿上朱红色的服装，佩戴黄金饰物，用颜料画大你的眼睛，你自炫漂亮，也是白费的。爱你的人仍然鄙视你，他们都在寻索你的命！
30And thou, O spoiled one, what dost thou? For thou puttest on scarlet, For thou adornest thyself [with] ornaments of gold. For thou rendest with pain thine eyes, In vain thou dost make thyself fair, Kicked against thee have doting ones, Thy life they do seek.
31我听到好像妇人产痛的叫声，正像生头胎孩子的妇人疼痛的叫声，就是锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的声音，他们喘着气，伸开双手，说：“哎！我有祸了！在那些杀人者跟前，我发昏了！”
31For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard, Distress, as of one bringing forth a first-born, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She bewaileth herself, she spreadeth out her hands, `Wo to me now, for weary is my soul of slayers!`
