Seek refuge, O children of Benjamin, / From the midst of Jerusalem; / And blow the trumpet in Tekoa / And raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem; / For evil looks down from the north, / And great destruction.
便雅悯人哪，你们要逃出耶路撒冷，在提哥亚吹角，在伯哈基琳立号旗；因为有灾祸与大毁坏，从北方向下张望。

The comely and delicate one, / The daughter of Zion, I will cut off.
那秀美娇嫩的锡安女子，我必剪除。

Shepherds will come to her / With their flocks; / They will pitch tents against her all around; / They will feed each one in his place.
牧人必带他们的羊群到她那里，在她周围支搭帐棚，各在自己所占之地牧养。

Prepare war against her; / Rise up, and let us go up at noon. / Woe to us, for the day has declined, / For the shadows of evening are lengthening.
你们要准备攻击她；起来吧，我们可以趁中午上去。我们有祸了，日已渐斜，晚影拖长了。

Rise up, and let us go up at night / And destroy her palaces.
起来吧，我们可以夜间上去，毁坏她的宫殿。

For thus says Jehovah of hosts, / Cut down her trees and build up / A mound against Jerusalem. / This is the city to be punished; / In her midst there is only oppression.
因为万军之耶和华如此说，你们要砍伐她的树木，筑垒攻打耶路撒冷。这就是那该受惩罚的城，其中尽是欺压。

As a cistern keeps its waters fresh, / So she has kept her wickedness fresh. / Violence and destruction are heard in her; / Sickness and wounds are always before Me.
水池怎样使水清新，这城也照样在恶上推陈出新；在其间常听见强暴毁灭的事，病患损伤也常在我面前。

Be admonished, O Jerusalem, / Lest My desire for you depart, / Lest I make you a desolation, / An uninhabited land.
耶路撒冷啊，你当受警戒，免得我与你生疏，免得我使你荒凉，成为无人居住之地。

Thus says Jehovah of hosts, / They will thoroughly glean like a vine / The remnant of Israel; / Pass your hand again over the branches / Like a grape gatherer.
万军之耶和华如此说，他们必掳尽以色列余剩的民，如同摘尽葡萄一样；你要像摘葡萄的人伸手到枝子上，摘了又摘。

To whom shall I speak and testify, / That they may hear? / Indeed, their ear is uncircumcised, / And they are unable to listen. / See, the word of Jehovah has become a reproach to them; / They have no delight in it.
现在我可以向谁说话作见证，使他们听呢？他们的耳朵未受割礼，不能听见。耶和华的话，他们以为羞辱，不以为喜悦。

Yet I am full of the wrath of Jehovah; / I am weary of holding it in. / Pour it out upon the children in the street / And upon the assembly of the young men together; / For even the husband with the wife will be taken; / The old man, with the one who is full of days.
因此我被耶和华的忿怒充满，难以含忍；我要倾倒在街中的孩童和聚集的少年人身上；连夫带妻，并年老的与日子满足的，都必被擒拿。

And their houses will be turned over to others, / Fields and wives together; / For I will stretch out My hand / Over the inhabitants of the land, / Declares Jehovah.
他们的房屋、田地和妻子，都必转归别人；我要伸手攻击这地的居民；这是耶和华说的。

For from the least of them to the greatest of them, / Everyone is wresting unjust gain; / And from the prophet to the priest, / Everyone is dealing falsely.
因为他们从最小的到至大的，人人都贪图不义之财；从申言者到祭司，个个都行事虚谎。

And they have healed / The brokenness of My people slightly, / Saying, Peace, peace; / Although there is no peace.
他们轻轻忽忽地医治我百姓的损伤，说，平安了，平安了；其实没有平安。

Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? / They were not at all ashamed; / They did not even know to blush. / Therefore they will fall with those who fall; / At the time I punish them, they will stumble, / Says Jehovah.
他们行可憎的事，知道惭愧么？不然，他们毫不惭愧，也不知羞耻。因此，他们必在仆倒的人中仆倒；我向他们讨罪的时候，他们必至跌倒；这是耶和华说的。

Thus says Jehovah, / Stand by the ways and see, / And ask for the ancient paths; / Ask where the good way is, and walk in it; / And you will find rest for your souls. / But they said, We will not walk in it.
耶和华如此说，你们当站在路上察看，访问古远的路径，哪一条是善路，便行在其上；你们魂里就必得安息。他们却说，我们不行在其上。

So I set watchmen over you, saying, / Listen to the sound of the trumpet. / But they said, We will not listen.
我设立守望的人照管你们，说，要听角声。他们却说，我们不听。

Therefore hear, O nations, / And understand, O assembly, / What I will do to them.
列国啊，因此你们当听；会众啊，要知道我必怎样待他们。

Listen, O earth; I am now bringing evil / On this people, / The fruit of their thoughts; / Because they have not listened to My words, / And they have also rejected My law.
地啊，当听，我必使灾祸临到这百姓，那是他们意念所结的果子，因为他们未曾听从我的言语，也厌弃了我的律法。

For what purpose does frankincense come to Me from Sheba, / And sweet cane from a distant land? / Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, / And your sacrifices are not pleasing to Me.
从示巴出的乳香，从远方出的甜甘蔗，奉来给我有何益呢？你们的燔祭不蒙悦纳，你们的平安祭我也不喜悦。

Therefore thus says Jehovah, / I am now laying before this people stumbling blocks, / And fathers and sons together / Will stumble against them; / A neighbor and his friend will perish.
所以耶和华如此说，我要将绊脚石放在这百姓前面，父亲和儿子要一同跌在其上；邻舍与朋友，也都要灭亡。

Thus says Jehovah, / See, a people is coming from the land of the north, / And a great nation is stirring from the uttermost parts of the earth.
耶和华如此说，看哪，有一民从北方之地而来，有一大国从地极被激动来到。

They grasp bow and spear; / They are cruel and have no mercy; / Their voice roars like the sea; / And they ride upon horses, / Set in array as a man for battle / Against you, O daughter of Zion.
他们拿弓和枪，性情残忍，毫无怜悯；他们的声音，像海浪匉訇；锡安的女子啊，他们都骑马摆队，如上战场的人来攻击你。

We have heard its report; / Our hands are feeble; / Distress has seized us, / Pain like a woman in childbirth.
我们听见了这风声，手就发软；痛苦将我们抓住，疼痛仿佛临产的妇人。

Do not go out into the field, / And do not walk on the road; / For the enemy has a sword; / Terror is on every side.
你们不要往田野去，也不要行在路上；因仇敌有刀剑，四围有惊吓。

O daughter of my people, gird yourself in sackcloth / And roll in ashes; / Mourn as for an only son, / A most bitter wailing; / For suddenly the destroyer / Will come upon us.
我的百姓啊，应当腰束麻布，辊在灰中。你要悲伤如丧独生子，痛痛哭号；因为灭命的要忽然临到我们。

I have set you as a trier among My people, as a fortress, / That you may know and try their way.
我已立你在我民中为试验的人，为保障，使你知道并试验他们所行的路。

All of them are most rebellious, / Going about as slanderers; / They are bronze and iron; / All of them act corruptly.
他们都是极悖逆的，是往来谗谤人的；他们是铜是铁，都行事败坏。

The bellows are burned; / The lead is consumed by the fire; / The refining continues in vain, / For the wicked are not removed.
风箱烧毁；铅被火烧尽；尽管炼而又炼，终是徒然，因为恶劣的尚未除掉。

Men will call them rejected silver, / Because Jehovah has rejected them.
人必称他们为被弃的银渣，因为耶和华已经弃掉他们。
