Jehovah now makes the earth desolate and lays it waste; He distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants:
耶和华使地空虚，变为荒凉；又将地面扭曲，使居民分散。

As it is with the people, so will it be with the priest; / As it is with the servant, so will it be with the master; / As it is with the maid, so will it be with the mistress; / As it is with the buyer, so will it be with the seller; / As it is with the lender, so will it be with the borrower; / As it is with the creditor, so will it be with him to whom he gives credit.
那时百姓怎样，祭司也怎样；仆人怎样，主人也怎样；婢女怎样，主母也怎样；买物的怎样，卖物的也怎样；放债的怎样，借债的也怎样；取利的怎样，出利的也怎样。

The earth will be utterly desolated / And utterly spoiled, / For Jehovah has spoken this word.
地必全然空虚，尽被掠夺，因为这话是耶和华说的。

The earth dries up and fades away; / The world languishes and fades away; / The exalted of the people of the earth languish.
地悲哀衰残，世界败落衰残，地上居高位的人也败落了。

And the earth is polluted under the weight of its inhabitants; / For they have transgressed laws, they have violated statutes, / They have broken an eternal covenant.
地被其上的居民污秽；因为他们犯了律法，废了律例，背了永约。

Therefore a curse devours the earth / And the inhabitants of it are held guilty; / Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, / And few men are left.
所以咒诅将地吞灭，其上的居民显为有罪；因此，地上的居民被焚烧，剩下的人稀少。

The new wine mourns; the vine languishes; / All the merryhearted sigh.
新酒悲哀，葡萄树衰残；心中欢乐的，俱都叹息。

The mirth of the tambourines ceases; / The noise of those who exult stops; / The mirth of the lyre ceases.
击鼓之乐止息，欢乐人的喧哗停顿，弹琴之乐也止息了。

Men do not drink wine in song; / Liquor is bitter to those who drink it.
人必不得饮酒唱歌；喝浓酒的，必以为苦。

The city of chaos is broken down; / Every house is shut up that none may enter.
荒废的城拆毁了；各家关门闭户，使人不得进去。

A cry for wine is in the streets; / All joy is darkened; / The mirth of the land is departed.
在街上有呼喊要酒的声音；一切的喜乐变为昏暗；地上的欢乐都离去了。

In the city desolation remains, / And the gate is crushed to ruins.
城中只有荒凉，城门拆毁净尽。

For thus will it be in the midst of the earth, / Among the peoples: / Like the shaking of an olive tree, / Like the gleanings when the grape harvest is completed.
在大地之间，万民之中必如此：像打过的橄榄树，又像已摘的葡萄所剩无几。

They will lift up their voice; they will give a ringing shout; / Because of the majesty of Jehovah they will cry out from the west.
剩余的人要高声欢呼；他们要因耶和华的威严，从西边扬起声来。

Therefore in the east glorify Jehovah, / Even the name of Jehovah the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
因此你们要在东方荣耀耶和华，在众海岛荣耀耶和华以色列神的名。

From the ends of the earth we hear songs: / Glory to the righteous One! / But I say, Leanness to me! Leanness to me! Woe to me! / The unfaithful deal unfaithfully! / Indeed the unfaithful deal most unfaithfully!
我们听见从地极有歌声，说，荣耀归与那义者！我却说，我消瘦了！我消瘦了！我有祸了！诡诈的行诡诈！诡诈的大行诡诈！

Dread, pit, and snare / Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
地上的居民哪，恐惧、陷坑、网罗都临到你。

And he who flees from the sound of dread / Will fall into the pit, / And he who comes up out of the pit / Will be taken in the snare; / For the windows from on high are open, / And the foundations of the earth shake.
躲避恐惧声音的必坠入陷坑，从陷坑上来的必被网罗缠住；因为高天的窗户都开了，地的根基也震动了。

The earth is broken asunder; / The earth is split through and through; / The earth is shaken violently.
地全然破坏，尽都崩裂，大大地震动了。

The earth staggers back and forth like a drunkard / And sways about like a field hut. / And its transgression weighs heavily upon it; / It will fall and will not rise again.
地东倒西歪，好像醉酒的人；又摇来摇去，好像茅屋。地的罪过在其上沉重，必然塌陷，不能复起。

And in that day Jehovah will punish / On high the host on high, / And the kings of the earth on the earth.
到那日耶和华在高处必惩罚高处的众军，在地上必惩罚地上的列王。

And they will be gathered together, / Like prisoners gathered in a dungeon; / And they will be shut up in prison, / And after many days they will be punished.
他们必被聚集，像囚犯被聚在牢狱中，并要囚在监牢里，多日之后必被讨罪。

Then the moon will be abashed, and the sun will be ashamed; / For Jehovah of hosts will reign / In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, / And His glory will be before His elders.
那时月亮要蒙羞，日头要惭愧；因为万军之耶和华必在锡安山、在耶路撒冷作王，在祂的长老面前必有荣耀。
