If you will return, O Israel, declares Jehovah, / Return to Me; / And if you put away your detestable things from My presence / And do not wander,
耶和华说，以色列啊，你若回来，就当回到我这里；你若从我面前除掉你可憎之物，不四处游荡，

And swear, As Jehovah lives, / In truth and in justice and in righteousness, / Then the nations will bless themselves in Him, / And in Him they will glory.
并且凭真实、公平、公义，指着永活的耶和华起誓，列国就必凭耶和华称自己为有福，也必凭祂夸耀。

For thus says Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, / Break up your fallow ground, / And do not sow among thorns.
耶和华对犹大和耶路撒冷人如此说，要开垦你们未耕之地，不要撒种在荆棘中。

Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, / And remove the foreskins of your heart, / Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, / Lest My wrath go forth like fire / And burn, and there be no one to quench it / Because of the evil of your deeds.
犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪，你们当自行割礼，归耶和华，将心里的污秽除掉；恐怕我的忿怒，因你们的恶行发作，如火焚烧，无人能以熄灭。

Declare in Judah / And proclaim in Jerusalem, and say: / Blow the trumpet in the land; / Cry aloud and say, / Gather yourselves and let us go / Into the fortified cities.
你们当传扬在犹大，宣告在耶路撒冷，说，你们当在这地吹角，高声呼叫说，你们当聚集，我们好进入坚固城。

Raise up a standard toward Zion. / Seek refuge; do not stay; / For I am bringing evil from the north, / And great destruction.
应当向锡安竖立旌旗；要逃避，不要停留；因我必使灾祸，与大毁灭，从北方来到。

A lion has come up from his thicket, / And a destroyer of nations has set out. / He has gone forth from his place / To make your land a waste; / Your cities will be ruins, / Without an inhabitant.
有狮子已经从树丛中上来，毁坏列国的已经动身。他已经出离本处，要使你的地荒凉；你的城邑必变为荒场，无人居住。

For this, gird yourselves with sackcloth, / Wail and howl; / For the burning anger of Jehovah / Has not turned away from us.
因此，你们当腰束麻布，恸哭哀号；因为耶和华的烈怒，没有转离我们。

And in that day, declares Jehovah, the heart of the king and the heart of the princes will fail; and the priests will be appalled, and the prophets will be astounded.
耶和华说，到那日君王和首领的心，都要沮丧；祭司都要惊奇，申言者都要诧异。

And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah, surely You have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You will have peace; whereas the sword reaches to the soul.
我说，哀哉，主耶和华啊，你真是大大地欺哄了这百姓和耶路撒冷，说，你们必得平安；其实刀剑害及性命了。

At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of My people, not for winnowing nor for purging
那时，必有话对这百姓和耶路撒冷说，有一阵热风，从旷野光秃的高处，向我的百姓刮来，不是为簸扬，也不是为扬净；

(A wind too strong for these), will come from Me; now I will also utter judgments against them.
这一阵风强烈难当，从我刮到；现在我又必发出判语，攻击他们。

Here he is coming up like clouds, / And his chariots like the whirlwind; / His horses are swifter than eagles. / Woe to us for we are devastated!
他必如云上来，他的战车如旋风，他的马比鹰更快。我们有祸了，我们遭殃了！

Wash your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, / That you may be saved. / How long will your evil thoughts / Lodge within you?
耶路撒冷啊，你当洗去心中的恶，使你可以得救；恶念存留在你心里，要到几时呢？

For a voice declares from Dan / And announces affliction from the hill country of Ephraim.
有声音从但宣扬，从以法莲山地报患难。

Make mention to the nations; yes, / Announce against Jerusalem. / Besiegers are coming from a distant land / And utter their voice against the cities of Judah.
你们当向列国提说，向耶路撒冷报告，说，有围困的人从远方来到，向犹大的城邑发声呐喊。

Like those who watch over a field, they are against her all around / Because she has rebelled against Me, declares Jehovah.
他们四面围住耶路撒冷，好像看守田地的人，因为她背叛了我；这是耶和华说的。

Your way and your deeds / Have caused these things to happen to you. / This is your wickedness. Indeed it is bitter! / Indeed it reaches to your heart!
你的行径，你的作为，给你招惹这些事；这是你的恶果；实在是苦，是害及你心了！

My bowels, my bowels; I am writhing. / Oh, the walls of my heart! / My heart is moaning within me; / I cannot be silent; / For you hear, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, / The alarm of war.
我的心肠啊，我的心肠啊，我翻腾绞痛。我的心哪！我的心在我里面呻吟；我不能静默不言；因为我的魂哪，你已经听见角声，听见打仗的呐喊。

Destruction upon destruction is proclaimed, / For the whole land is devastated. / Suddenly my tents are devastated, / And my curtains in a moment.
毁坏的信息接连不断，因为全地败落；我的帐棚忽然破败，我的幔子顷刻破裂。

How long will I see the standard, / And hear the sound of the trumpet?
我看见旌旗，听见角声，要到几时呢？

For My people are foolish; / They do not know Me. / They are stupid children / And have no understanding. / They are wise to do evil, / But they do not know to do good.
耶和华说，我的百姓愚顽，不认识我。他们是愚蠢无知的儿女；他们有智慧行恶，却无知识行善。

I looked at the earth, and there it was, waste and emptiness; / And at the heavens, and they had no light.
申言者说，我观看地，见地荒废空虚；我观看天，天也无光。

I looked at the mountains, and there they were, shaking, / And all the hills were swaying.
我观看大山，见大山尽都震动，小山也都摇来摇去。

I looked, and there was no man, / And all the birds of the heavens had fled.
我观看，见无一人，空中的飞鸟也都躲避。

I looked, and there was the fruitful land, a wilderness, / And all its cities were torn down / Before Jehovah, before His burning anger.
我观看，见肥田变为荒野，一切城邑在耶和华面前，在祂烈怒之前，都被拆毁。

For thus says Jehovah, / The whole land will be a desolation, / But I will not make a full end;
耶和华如此说，全地必然荒凉，我却不毁灭净尽。

For this the earth will mourn, / And the heavens above will be dark; / Because I have spoken, I have purposed; / And I have not repented, nor will I turn from it.
为此，地要悲哀，在上的天也必黑暗；因为我言已出，我意已定；我不后悔，也不转意不作。

At the sound of horsemen and archers / Every city flees; / They go into the thickets / And climb up on the rocks. / Every city is forsaken, / And not even one inhabits them.
各城的人，因马兵和弓箭手的响声，就都逃跑，进入丛林，爬上磐石。各城被撇下，无一人住在其中。

And you, O desolate one, what will you do? / Although you dress in scarlet, / Although you are adorned with ornaments of gold, / Although you enlarge your eyes with paint, / In vain do you beautify yourself; / Your lovers despise you; / They seek your life.
你这荒凉的啊，你要怎样行呢？你虽穿上朱红衣服，佩戴黄金妆饰，用颜料修饰眼目，你美化自己是枉然的；你的爱人藐视你，他们寻索你的性命。

For I heard a cry like that of a woman in travail, / Anguish like that of a woman bringing forth her first child, / The sound of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath; / She stretches out her hands, saying, / Woe is me, / For my soul is fainting before murderers.
我听见有声音，仿佛妇人产难的声音，好像生头胎疼痛的声音，是锡安女子的声音；她喘着气，伸出双手，说，我有祸了，在杀人者跟前，我的魂发昏了。
