先知见异象得睹巴比伦被灭之惨 | The prophet had a vision and saw the destruction of Babylon |
1论海旁旷野的默示。有仇敌从旷野，从可怕之地而来，好像南方的旋风猛然扫过。 | 1The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. |
2令人凄惨的异象已默示于我：诡诈的行诡诈，毁灭的行毁灭。以拦哪，你要上去！玛代啊，你要围困！主说：“我使一切叹息止住。” | 2A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. |
3所以我满腰疼痛，痛苦将我抓住，好像产难的妇人一样。我疼痛甚至不能听，我惊惶甚至不能看。 | 3Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it. |
4我心慌张，惊恐威吓我，我所羡慕的黄昏变为我的战兢。 | 4My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. |
5他们摆设筵席，派人守望，又吃又喝——“首领啊，你们起来，用油抹盾牌！” | 5Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. |
6主对我如此说：“你去设立守望的，使他将所看见的述说。 | 6For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. |
7他看见军队，就是骑马的一对一对地来，又看见驴队、骆驼队，就要侧耳细听。” | 7And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: |
8他像狮子吼叫说：“主啊，我白日常站在望楼上，整夜立在我守望所， | 8And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights: |
9看哪，有一队军兵，骑着马一对一对地来。” 他就说：“巴比伦倾倒了！倾倒了！她一切雕刻的神像都打碎于地。” | 9And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. |
10我被打的禾稼，我场上的谷啊！我从万军之耶和华以色列的神那里所听见的，都告诉你们了。 | 10O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you. |
论度玛之预言 | On the Prophecy of Duma |
11论度玛的默示。有人声从西珥呼问我说：“守望的啊，夜里如何？守望的啊，夜里如何？” | 11The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? |
12守望的说：“早晨将到，黑夜也来。你们若要问，就可以问，可以回头再来。” | 12The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come. |
论阿拉伯之预言 | On the Arabian Prophecy |
13论阿拉伯的默示。底但结伴的客旅啊，你们必在阿拉伯的树林中住宿。 | 13The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. |
14提玛地的居民拿水来送给口渴的，拿饼来迎接逃避的。 | 14The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. |
15因为他们逃避刀剑和出了鞘的刀，并上了弦的弓与刀兵的重灾。 | 15For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. |
16主对我这样说：“一年之内，照雇工的年数，基达的一切荣耀必归于无有， | 16For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: |
17弓箭手所余剩的，就是基达人的勇士，必然稀少。因为这是耶和华以色列的神说的。” | 17And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it. |
