Hear now what Jehovah says: / Arise, contend before the mountains, / And let the hills hear your voice.
你们当听耶和华所说的话：要起来在山岭前争辩，使冈陵听你的声音。

Hear, O mountains, Jehovah's contention, / And you enduring foundations of the earth; / For Jehovah has a contention with His people, / And with Israel He will dispute.
诸山哪，要听耶和华争辩的话；大地永久的根基啊，你们也要听。因为耶和华与祂的百姓争辩，与以色列争论。

O My people, what have I done to You? / And with what have I wearied you? Testify against Me.
我的百姓啊，我向你作了什么呢？我在什么事上使你厌烦？你可以对我证明。

For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, / And from the slave house I redeemed you; / And I sent before you Moses, / Aaron, and Miriam.
我曾将你从埃及地领上来，从为奴之家救赎你；我也差遣摩西、亚伦和米利暗在你前面行。

O My people, remember now what Balak the king of Moab counseled, / And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, / From Shittim to Gilgal, / That you may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
我的百姓啊，你们当追念摩押王巴勒所设的谋，和比珥的儿子巴兰回答他的话，追念从什亭到吉甲所发生的事，好使你们知道耶和华公义的作为。

With what shall I come before Jehovah / And bow myself before the high God? / Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, / With one-year-old calves?
我朝见耶和华，在至高神面前跪拜，该带来什么呢？我该带一岁的牛犊为燔祭朝见祂么？

Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, / With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? / Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, / The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
耶和华会喜悦千千的公羊，或是万万的油河么？我该为自己的过犯献我的长子，为我魂中的罪献我身所生的么？

He has declared to you, O man, what is good; / And what does Jehovah require of you, / But that you would execute justice and love mercy / And walk humbly with your God?
人哪，耶和华已指示你何为善；祂向你所要的是什么呢？无非是要你施行公理，喜爱怜悯，谦卑地与你的神同行。

The voice of Jehovah cries out to the city, / And wisdom looks upon Your name. / Hear the rod and Him who appointed it.
耶和华向这城发声呼叫，智慧人必仰望祂的名。你们当留意刑杖和那派定刑杖的。

Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, / And a scant measure that is abominable?
恶人家中岂非仍有不义之财，和可憎的小量器么？

Shall I be pure with wicked balances / And with a bag of deceitful weights?
我若用不公道的天平和囊中诡诈的法码，岂可算为清洁呢？

For the rich men of the city are full of violence, / And those who inhabit it speak falsehood, / And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
城里的财主充满强暴，其中的居民也说谎言，他们口中的舌头是诡诈的。

Thus I also have made you sick by striking you; / I have made you desolate because of your sins.
因此，我也击打你，使你生病；我使你因你的罪荒凉。

You will eat, but you will not be satisfied; / And your emptiness will remain in the midst of you; / And you will take away, / But you will not rescue, / And what you rescue I will give up to the sword.
你要吃，却不得吃饱；你的虚弱必显在你中间；你必挪去，却不得救护；你所救护的，我必交给刀剑。

You will sow, / But you will not reap; / You will tread olives, / But you will not anoint yourself with oil, / And the new wine, / But you will not drink wine.
你必撒种，却不得收割；踹橄榄，却不得油抹身；酿新酒，却不得酒喝。

For the statutes of Omri are kept, / And all the works of the house of Ahab; / And you walk in their counsels, / That I may make you a desolation, / And the inhabitants of the city a hissing; / And you will bear the reproach of My people.
因为你守暗利的规例，作亚哈家一切所作的，按他们的计谋而行，叫我使你荒凉，使城中的居民被人嗤笑；你们也必担当我民的羞辱。
