Come down and sit in the dust, / O virgin daughter of Babylon; / Sit on the ground where there is no throne, / O daughter of the Chaldeans; / For you will no longer be called / Tender and delicate.
巴比伦的处女啊，下来坐在尘埃；迦勒底的女子啊，没有宝座了，要坐在地上，因为你不再称为柔弱娇嫩的。

Take millstones and grind meal; / Remove your veil; / Strip off your flowing skirt; uncover your thigh; / Cross over the rivers.
要用磨磨面；揭去帕子，脱去长衣，露现大腿，渡过江河。

Your nakedness will be uncovered; / Your shame will also be seen; / I will take vengeance and will not spare any man.
你的下体必被露出，你的羞耻必被看见；我要报仇，谁也不宽容。

Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is His name, / The Holy One of Israel.
我们的救赎主是以色列的圣者，万军之耶和华是祂的名。

Sit in silence and go in darkness, / O daughter of the Chaldeans; / For you will no longer be called / The queen of kingdoms.
迦勒底的女子啊，你要默然静坐，进入暗中；因为你不再称为列国的王后。

I was angry with My people; / I profaned My inheritance, / And I have delivered them up into your hand. / You have not shown any mercy to them; / You have made your yoke / Very heavy upon the elderly.
我曾向我的百姓发怒，使我的产业被亵渎，将他们交在你手中。你毫不怜恤他们，把极重的轭加在老年人身上。

You have said, I will be / A queen forever; / You did not put these things into your heart; / You did not remember the end of them.
你曾说，我必永为王后；你不将这些事放在心上，也不思想事情的终局。

And now hear this, O lover of pleasure, / Who dwells securely / And says in your heart, / I am, and there is none besides me; / I will not dwell as a widow, / And I will not know loss of children.
你这专好宴乐、安然居住的，现在当听这话。你心中说，惟有我，除我以外再没有别的；我必不至寡居，也不遭丧子之事。

But these two things will come upon you / Suddenly, in one day: / Loss of children and widowhood; / In full measure they will come upon you / In spite of the multitude of your sorceries; / In spite of the great power of your spells.
哪知丧子和寡居这两件事，在一日转眼之间必临到你；虽然你多行邪术，虽然你竭力施咒，这两件事必全然临到你身上。

And you felt secure in your wickedness; / You said, No one sees me. / Your wisdom and your knowledge / Have seduced you, / And you said in your heart, / I am, and there is none besides me.
你素来倚仗自己的恶行，说，无人看见我。你的智慧和知识使你偏邪，并且你心里说，惟有我，除我以外再没有别的。

But evil will come upon you, / And you will not know its origin; / Disaster will fall upon you / Which you cannot expiate for; / Desolation will come upon you suddenly, / About which you do not know.
但祸患必临到你身，你不知它的由来；灾害必落在你身上，你不能借遮罪而除掉；所不知道的毁灭，必忽然临到你身。

Stand now with your enchantments / And the multitude of your sorceries, / With which you have labored from your youth; / Perhaps you can profit; / Perhaps you will inspire terror.
站起来吧，用你从幼年劳碌施行的符咒，和你许多的邪术，或者可得益处，或者会使人惊恐。

You are wearied with the multitude of your counsels. / Let the astrologers, who gaze at the stars, / Who predict according to the new moons, / Stand up and save you from what is coming upon you.
你筹划太多，以致疲倦。让那些观天象的，就是看星宿、逢月朔说预言的，都站起来，救你脱离所要临到你的事。

Indeed, they are like stubble; / Fire consumes them; / They cannot deliver themselves / From the power of the flame; / There is no coal for warming themselves, / Nor the light of a fire to sit before.
他们要像碎秸被火焚烧，不能救自己脱离火焰之力；这火并非可以取暖的炭火，也不是可以坐在其前的火光。

So will those with whom you have labored be to you, / Those who have traded with you from your youth; / Each one will wander off in his own direction; / There will be no one to save you.
与你一同劳碌的，都要这样与你无益；从幼年与你贸易的，都各往各方飘流，无人救你。
