祸哉，亚利伊勒，亚利伊勒，大卫安营的城！任凭你年上加年，节期照常循环；
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, / The city where David camped! / Add year to year; let the feasts run their course.

我终必使亚利伊勒困难，她必悲伤哀号，对我如同亚利伊勒。
But I will distress Ariel, / And she will become mourning and lamentation / And will be like an Ariel to Me.

我必四围安营攻击你，用栅栏围困你，立起高垒攻击你。
And I will encamp in a circle against you, / And will besiege you with palisades, / And will raise up siegeworks against you.

你必降到低处，从地中说话；你的言语必低微，出于尘埃。你的声音必像那交鬼者的声音出于地，你的言语必呢喃出于尘埃。
And you will be brought down; from the ground you will speak, / And your speech will come from low in the dust. / And your voice will be like that of a departed spirit from the ground, / And your speech will twitter from the dust.

你仇敌的群众却要像细尘，强暴人的群众也要像飞散的糠秕；这事必顷刻之间忽然临到。
But the multitude of your enemies will be like fine dust, / And the multitude of those who terrorize will be like chaff that passes away; / And it will happen in an instant, suddenly.

万军之耶和华必用雷轰、地震、大声、旋风、暴风并吞灭的火焰，向你讨罪。
From Jehovah of hosts you will be visited, / With thunder and earthquake and great noise, / With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of consuming fire.

那时，攻击亚利伊勒列国的群众，就是一切攻击亚利伊勒和她的保障，并使她困难的，必如梦景，如夜间的异象。
And the 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, like a vision in the night.

就像饥饿的人，梦中吃饭，醒了仍觉腹空；或像口渴的人，梦中喝水，醒了仍觉发昏，心里想喝；攻击锡安山列国的群众，也必如此。
And as when a hungry man dreams and finds himself eating, / But he awakens and what he desires is not there; / Or as when a thirsty man dreams and finds himself drinking, / But he awakens and is indeed faint and what he desires is far from him; / So will the multitude of all the nations be / That fight against Mount Zion.

你们等候惊奇吧；你们蒙蔽自己，继续蒙蔽吧。他们醉了，却非因酒；他们东倒西歪，却非因浓酒。
Linger and be astounded, / Blind yourselves and be blind. / They are drunk, but not with wine; / They stagger, but not with liquor.

因为耶和华将沉睡的灵浇灌你们，封闭你们的眼，就是申言者；蒙盖你们的头，就是先见。
For Jehovah has poured out upon you / A spirit of deep sleep / And has shut your eyes, the prophets; / And your heads, the seers, He has covered.

所有的异象对你们必如封住之书卷的话；人将这书卷交给识字的，说，请念吧；他必说，我不能念，因为封住了。
And all the vision will be to you like the words of a book that has been sealed, which when they give to him who is literate, saying, Please read this, he will say, I am not able to, for it is sealed.

又将这书卷交给不识字的人，说，请念吧；他必说，我不识字。
Then the book will be given to him who is illiterate, saying, Please read this, and he will say, I am illiterate.

主说，因为这百姓用口亲近我，用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我；他们敬畏我，不过是领受人的吩咐。
And the Lord said, / Because this people draws near with their mouth, / And with their lips they honor Me, / Yet they remove their heart far from Me, / And their fear for Me / Is a commandment of men merely learned;

所以我要向这百姓再行奇妙的事，就是奇妙又奇妙的事；他们智慧人的智慧必然消灭，聪明人的聪明必然隐藏。
Therefore, indeed, I will once again / Do something wondrous with this people, something wondrously marvelous; / And the wisdom of their wise men will perish, / And the understanding of those who understand will be hidden.

祸哉，那些向耶和华深藏谋略的，他们所行的都在暗中，他们说，谁看见我们呢？谁知道我们呢？
Woe to those who hide deeply / Their counsel from Jehovah, / And whose deeds are in the dark / And who say, Who sees us? And, Who knows us?

你们把事颠倒了！岂可看窑匠如泥么？被制作的物岂可论制作它的说，他没有制作我？或是被塑造的物论塑造它的说，他没有聪明？
You turn things upside down! / Shall the potter be considered to be like the clay, / That what is made should say of him who made it, He did not make me, / Or what is formed should say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?

不是还有一点点时候，利巴嫩就要变为肥田，肥田就要看为树林么？
Is it not yet a little while / Before Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, / And the fruitful field will be considered to be a forest.

到那日，聋子必听见这书上的话，瞎子的眼必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见，
And in that day the deaf will hear the words of the book, / And out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see,

困苦人必因耶和华增添喜乐，人间穷乏的必因以色列的圣者欢腾。
And the afflicted will increase their joy in Jehovah, / And the needy of mankind will exult in the Holy One of Israel.

因为强暴人已归无有，亵慢人已经灭绝，一切找机会作孽的都已被剪除；
For he who terrorizes will cease to be, and the scorner will be consumed, / And all who watch for iniquity will be cut off,

他们使人在言语上犯罪，为城门口责备人的设下网罗，用虚无的事屈枉义人。
Those who make a man sin by his words / And ensnare him who judges at the gate / And turn aside the righteous with an empty argument.

所以救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华，论雅各家如此说，雅各必不再羞愧，面容也不至变为苍白；
Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob will not now be ashamed, / Nor will his face now turn pale;

但他看见他的子孙，就是我手的工作，在他那里，他们必尊我的名为圣，必尊雅各的圣者为圣，也必敬畏以色列的神。
But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, / They will sanctify My name / And sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, / And hold the God of Israel in awe.

灵里迷糊的必得明白，发怨言的必受训诲。
And those who have erred in spirit will come to understand, / And the murmurers will learn teaching.
