1禍哉！以法蓮的酒徒，住在的山上，他們心裡高傲，以所誇的為冠冕，猶如將殘之花。Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.
2看哪，主有一大能大力者，像一陣冰雹，像毀滅的暴風，像漲溢的大水，他必用手將冠冕摔落於地。Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest, like a driving rain or flooding downpour, he will smash that crown to the ground.
3以法蓮高傲的酒徒，他的冠冕必被踏在腳下。The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
4那榮美將殘之花，就是在肥美谷山上的，必像夏令以前；看見這果的就注意，一到手中就吞吃了。The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
5到那日，萬軍之耶和華必作他餘剩之民的榮冠華冕，On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
6也作了在位上行審判者公平之靈，並城門口打退仇敵者的力量。a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
7就是這地的人也因酒搖搖晃晃，因濃酒東倒西歪。祭司和先知因濃酒搖搖晃晃，被酒所困，因濃酒東倒西歪。他們錯解默示，謬行審判。These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
8因為各席上滿了嘔吐的污穢，無一處乾淨。For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.
9譏誚先知的說：他要將知識指教誰呢？要使誰明白傳言呢？是那剛斷奶離懷的嗎？Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?
10他竟，令上加令，律上加律，例上加例，這裡一點，那裡一點。For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
11先知說：不然，主要藉異邦人的嘴唇和外邦人的舌頭對這百姓說話。Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people
12他曾對他們說：你們要使疲乏人得安息，這樣才得安息，才得舒暢，他們卻不肯聽。to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.
13所以，耶和華向他們說的話是命上加命，令上加令，律上加律，例上加例，這裡一點，那裡一點，以致他們前行仰面跌倒，而且跌碎，並陷入網羅被纏住。Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
14所以，你們這些褻慢的人，就是轄管住在耶路撒冷這百姓的，要聽耶和華的話。Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15你們曾說：我們與死亡立約，與陰間結盟；敵軍（原文是鞭子）如水漲漫經過的時候，必不臨到我們；因我們以謊言為避所，在虛假以下藏身。For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.”
16所以，主耶和華如此說：看哪，我在錫安放一塊石頭作為根基，是試驗過的石頭，是穩固根基，寶貴的；信靠的人必不著急。So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.
17我必以公平為準繩，以公義為。冰雹必沖去謊言的避所；大水必漫過藏身之處。I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.
18你們與死亡所立的約必然廢掉，與陰間所結的盟必立不住。敵軍（原文是鞭子）如水漲漫經過的時候，你們必被他踐踏；Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it.
19每逢經過必將你們擄去。因為每早晨他必經過，白晝黑夜都必如此。明白傳言的必受驚恐。As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
20原來，床榻短，使人不能舒身；被窩窄，使人不能遮體。Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
21耶和華必興起，像在；他必發怒，像在基遍谷，好做成他的工，就是非常的工；成就他的事，就是奇異的事。For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
22現在你們不可褻慢，恐怕捆你們的綁索更結實了；因為我從主─萬軍之耶和華那裡聽見，已經決定在全地上施行滅絕的事。So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
23你們當側耳聽我的聲音，留心聽我的言語。Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.
24那耕地為要撒種的，豈是常常耕地呢？豈是常常開墾耙地呢？Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?
25他拉平了地面，豈不就撒種小茴香，播種大茴香，按行列種小麥，在定處種大麥，在田邊種粗麥呢？When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and rye within its border.
26因為他的 神教導他務農相宜，並且指教他。For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
27原來打小茴香，不用尖利的器具，軋大茴香，也不用（原文是車輪；下同）；但用杖打小茴香，用棍打大茴香。Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But caraway is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
28做餅的糧食是用磨磨碎，因它不必常打；雖用碌碡和馬打散，卻不磨它。Grain for bread must be ground, but it is not endlessly threshed. Though the wheels of the cart roll over it, the horses do not crush it.
29這也是出於萬軍之耶和華─他的謀略奇妙；他的智慧廣大。This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
