看哪，主万军之耶和华快要从耶路撒冷和犹大，除掉人各种的倚靠，就是一切所倚靠的粮，和一切所倚靠的水；
For now the Lord Jehovah of hosts / Is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah / Every kind of support — / All the support of bread / And all the support of water;

除掉勇士和战士，审判官和申言者，占卜的和长老，
The mighty man and the man of war, / The judge and the prophet, / And the diviner and the elder;

五十夫长和尊贵人，谋士、有巧艺的和通晓法术的。
The captain of fifty and the highly regarded; / And the counselor, the wise magician, and the knowledgeable enchanter.

主说，我必使少年人作他们的首领，使反复无定的人辖管他们。
And I will make youths their rulers, / And capriciousness will rule over them.

百姓要彼此欺压，各人受邻舍的欺压。少年人必侮慢老年人，卑贱人必侮慢尊贵人。
And the people will be oppressed, each by the other, / And each by his neighbor. / The youth will be arrogant to the elder, / And the contemned one to the one who is honored.

人在父家拉住弟兄，说，你有衣服，可以作我们的官长，这些败落的事归在你手下吧；
When a man takes hold of his brother / In his father's house and says, / You have clothing, you be our ruler, / And these ruins will be under your hand;

那时他必扬声说，我不作裹伤的人，因我家中没有粮食，也没有衣服；你们不可立我作百姓的官长。
He will solemnly say, / I will not be the one who binds your wounds, / For in my house there is no food or clothing; / Do not appoint me as ruler of the people.

耶路撒冷绊跌，犹大仆倒，因为他们的言语和行为都与耶和华作对，违抗祂荣光的眼目。
For Jerusalem stumbles, / And Judah falls, / Because their speech and their actions are against Jehovah, / To rebel against the eyes of His glory.

他们的面色证明自己的不正；他们宣扬自己的罪，并不隐瞒，好像所多玛一样。他们有祸了，因为他们自招祸害！
The countenance of their faces witnesses against them, / And they declare their sin like Sodom; / They do not hide it. / Woe to their soul! / For they have brought evil upon themselves.

你们要对义人说，他们必享福乐，因为要吃自己行为所结的果子。
Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, / For they will eat the fruit of their actions.

恶人有祸了！他必遭灾难，因为要照自己手所行的受报应。
Woe to the wicked man! It will go badly with him; / For the result of his deeds will be done to him.

至于我的百姓，孩童欺压他们，妇女辖管他们。我的百姓啊，引导你的使你走错，且隐藏你当行的道路。
My people — their oppressors are children, / And women rule over them. / O My people, those who lead you are leading you astray; / And the path for your ways they have hidden.

耶和华站立辩论，站着审判百姓。
Jehovah stands firm to contend, / And He stands to judge the people.

耶和华必控诉民中的长老和首领，说，吃尽葡萄园果子的，就是你们；从贫穷人所夺的，都在你们家中。
Jehovah will enter into judgment / With the elders of His people and their rulers. / It is you who have consumed the vineyard; / The spoil of the poor is in your houses.

主万军之耶和华说，你们为何压制我的百姓，搓磨贫穷人的脸呢？
What do you mean by crushing My people / And grinding the faces of the poor? / Declares the Lord Jehovah of hosts.

耶和华又说，因为锡安的女子高傲，行走挺项，卖弄眼目，俏步徐行，脚下玎珰；
Moreover Jehovah said, / Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, / And walk around with outstretched necks / And lusting eyes, / And trip along with quick, little steps, / And rattle the anklets on their feet;

所以主必使锡安的女子头长秃疮，耶和华又使她们赤露下体。
The Lord will strike the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, / And Jehovah will expose their secret parts.

到那日，主必除掉她们华美的脚钏、发网、月牙圈，
In that day the Lord will remove the beauty of their anklets, headbands, and crescents;

耳坠、手镯、贵价的帕子，
The ear pendants, the bracelets, and the costly veils;

华冠、足链、华带、香盒、符囊，
The headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the bottles of aromas, and the amulets;

戒指、鼻环，
The finger rings and the nose rings;

礼服、外套、披肩、荷包，
The formal gowns, the frocks, the wraps, and the purses;

手镜、细麻衣、裹头巾、蒙身的帕子。
The mirrors, the fine linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.

必有臭烂代替馨香，绳索代替腰带，光秃代替美发，麻衣系腰代替华服，烙伤代替美容。
And instead of a sweet smell there will be rottenness; / And instead of a belt, an encircling rope; / Instead of well-set hair, baldness; / And instead of fine garments, the girding of oneself with sackcloth; / A brand instead of beauty.

你的男丁必倒在刀下，你的勇士必倒在阵上；
Your men will fall by the sword, / And your mighty, in battle;

锡安的城门必悲伤、哀号，她必荒凉坐在地上。
Then her gates will mourn and lament, / And she, being desolated, will sit on the ground.
