看哪，必有一王凭公义作王，必有首领按公平掌权。
Indeed a King will reign according to righteousness, / And the rulers will rule according to justice.

必有一人像避风所，和避暴雨的隐密处，像河流在干旱之地，像大磐石的影子在疲乏之地。
And a man will be like a refuge from the wind / And a covering from the tempest, / Like streams of water in a dry place, / Like the shadow of a massive rock in a wasted land.

那能看的人，眼必不昏蒙；能听的人，耳必然倾听。
And the eyes of those who see will not be dim, / And the ears of those who hear will attend.

冒失人的心，必明白知识；结巴人的舌，必说话流利。
And the heart of the hasty will understand knowledge, / And the tongue of those who stammer will hasten to speak elegantly.

愚顽人不再称为高尚，奸险人不再称为大方。
The fool will no longer be called noble, / Nor will the cheat be said to be generous;

因为愚顽人必说愚顽话，心里想行罪孽，作亵渎的事，说错谬的话攻击耶和华，使饥饿的人无食可吃，使口渴的人无水可喝。
For the fool will speak foolishness, / And his heart will commit iniquity / By committing profaneness / And by speaking error against Jehovah, / By leaving the soul of the hungry empty / And by causing drink for the thirsty to fail.

奸险人的手段是恶的；他图谋恶计，用谎言毁灭困苦人；穷乏人讲公理的时候，他也是这样行。
And as for the cheat, his tools are evil; / He devises wicked schemes / To destroy the poor with false words / Even when the needy speaks rightly.

高尚人却谋高尚事，他必在高尚事上站立得稳。
But the noble man devises noble things, / And upon noble things he stands.

安逸的妇女啊，起来听我的声音；无虑的女子啊，侧耳听我的言语。
Rise up, O women who are at ease, / And hear my voice; / O daughters of complacency, / Hearken to my words.

无虑的女子啊，再过一年多，你们必受搅扰；因为无葡萄可摘，收禾稼的日子必不来到。
In a year and some days / You will be troubled, O complacent ones; / For the vintage is at its end; / The ingathering will not come.

安逸的妇女啊，要战兢；无虑的女子啊，要受搅扰。你们要脱去衣服，赤着身体，腰束麻布，
Tremble, O women at ease; / Be troubled, O complacent ones. / Strip yourselves and be bare, / And gird your loins with sackcloth.

为着美好的田地，为着多结果的葡萄树，捶胸哀哭。
They beat their breasts / For the pleasant fields, / For the fruitful vine.

荆棘蒺藜必长在我百姓的地上，又长在欢乐城中一切快乐的房屋上。
Upon the land of my people / Will come up thorns and briers, / Indeed upon all the jubilant houses / In the exultant city.

因为宫堡必被撇下；多民的城必被离弃；山冈和守望楼必永为洞穴，作野驴所喜乐的，为羊群的草场；
Because the palace will be abandoned; / The multitude of the city will be forsaken; / The Hill and the watchtower / Will become caves forever, / A joy for wild asses, / A pasture for flocks;

等到那灵从高处浇灌在我们身上，旷野就变为肥田，肥田看为树林。
Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, / And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, / And the fruitful field is considered to be a forest.

那时，公平要住在旷野，公义要居于肥田；
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, / And righteousness will remain in the fruitful field;

公义的果效必是平安；公义的效验必是平静稳妥，直到永远。
And the work of righteousness will be peace, / And the result of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

我的百姓必住在平安的居所、安稳的住处、平静的安歇所。
And my people will live in a peaceful habitation / And in secure dwellings and carefree resting places.

但要降冰雹打倒树林；城必全然拆平。
And it will hail when the forest comes down, / And the city will be utterly laid low.

你们在各水边撒种、牧放牛驴的有福了。
Blessed are you who sow beside all the water, / Who send there the feet of the ox and the donkey.
