成群的女子啊，现在你要聚集成队；仇敌围攻我们，他们用杖击打以色列审判者的脸。
Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; / He has laid a siege against us. / With a rod they strike on the cheek / The Judge of Israel.

（伯利恒以法他啊，你在犹大诸城中为小，将来必有一位从你那里为我而出，在以色列中作掌权者；祂是从亘古，从太初而出。）
(But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, / So little to be among the thousands of Judah, / From you there will come forth to Me / He who is to be Ruler in Israel; / And His goings forth are from ancient times, / From the days of eternity.)

因此，耶和华必将以色列人交付敌人，直等那临产的妇人生下孩子来；那时掌权者其余的弟兄必归到以色列人那里。
Therefore He will give them up until the time / When she who is in labor delivers the child; / Then the remainder of His brothers will return, / Along with the children of Israel.

祂必站起来，靠耶和华的力量，并耶和华祂神之名的威严，牧养祂的羊群；他们要安然居住，因为如今祂必尊大，直到地极。
And He will stand and feed His flock in the strength of Jehovah, / In the majesty of the name of Jehovah His God; / And they will abide, for now He will be great / Unto the ends of the earth.

这位必作我们的平安。当亚述人进入我们的地，践踏我们宫殿的时候，我们就立起七个牧者、八个首领攻击他。
And this One will be the peace. / When Assyria comes into our land / And when he treads in our palaces, / We will raise up against him seven shepherds / And eight princes of men.

他们必用刀剑毁坏亚述地，和宁录地的关口。亚述人进入我们的地，践踏我们地界的时候，祂必拯救我们。
And they will waste the land of Assyria with the sword / And the land of Nimrod at its entrances. / And He will save us from Assyria, / When he comes into our land / And when he treads in our border.

雅各余剩的人必在许多的民中，如从耶和华那里降下的露水，又如甘霖降在草上，不仰仗人，也不等候世人。
And the remnant of Jacob will be / In the midst of many peoples / Like dew from Jehovah, / Like abundant showers upon the herbage, / Which do not tarry for man / And do not wait for the sons of men.

雅各余剩的人必在列国许多的民中，如狮子在树林间的百兽中，又如少壮狮子在羊群中；他若经过，就必践踏撕裂，无人搭救。
And the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, / In the midst of many peoples, / Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, / Like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, / Who, if he should pass through, tramples under / And tears up, and there is none to deliver from him.

你的手必举起，胜过敌人，你的仇敌都必被剪除。
Your hand will be raised up against your adversaries, / And all your enemies will be cut off.

耶和华说，到那日，我必从你中间剪除你的马匹，毁坏你的车辆；
In that day, / Declares Jehovah, / I will cut off your horses from the midst of you / And will destroy your chariots.

也必从你的地除灭城邑，拆毁一切的保障；
And I will cut off the cities of your land / And will throw down all your strongholds.

又必从你手中除掉邪术，你那里也不再有占卜的。
And I will cut off the sorceries from your hand, / And you will not have soothsayers.

我必从你中间除灭你的偶像和柱像，你就不再跪拜自己手所造的。
And I will cut off your idols / And your pillars from your midst; / And you will no longer worship / The work of your hands.

我必从你中间拔出你的木像，又毁灭你的城邑。
And I will pluck up your Asherahs from your midst, / And I will destroy your cities.

我也必在怒气和忿怒中，向那不听从的列国施行报复。
And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath / Upon the nations that have not listened.
