1巴比伦的处女啊,下来坐在尘埃;的闺女啊,没有宝座,要坐在地上;因为你不再称为柔弱娇嫩的。“Go down and sit in the dust, O Virgin Daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O Daughter of the Chaldeans! For you will no longer be called tender or delicate.
2要用磨磨面,揭去帕子,脱去长衣,露腿。Take millstones and grind flour; remove your veil; strip off your skirt, bare your thigh, and wade through the streams.
3你的下体必被露出;你的丑陋必被看见。我要报仇,谁也不宽容。Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”
4我们救赎主的名是万军之耶和华—以色列的圣者。Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name—is the Holy One of Israel.
5迦勒底的闺女啊,你要默然静坐,进入暗中,因为你不再称为列国的。“Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
6我向我的百姓发怒,使我的产业被亵渎,将他们交在你手中,你毫不怜悯他们,把极重的轭加在老年人身上。I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.
7你自己说:我必永为主母,所以你不将这事放在心上,也不思想这事的结局。You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
8你这专好宴乐、安然居住的,现在当听这话。你心中说:惟有我,除我以外再没有别的。我必不致寡居,也不遭丧子之事。So now hear this, O lover of luxury who sits securely, who says to herself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’
9哪知,丧子、寡居这两件事在一日转眼之间必临到你;正在你多行邪术、广施符咒的时候,这两件事必全然临到你身上。These two things will overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
10你素来倚仗自己的恶行,说:无人看见我。你的智慧聪明使你偏邪,并且你心里说:惟有我,除我以外再没有别的。You were secure in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray; you told yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11因此,祸患要临到你身,你不知何时发现(或译:如何驱逐);灾害落在你身上,你也不能除掉;所不知道的毁灭也必忽然临到你身。But disaster will come upon you; you will not know how to charm it away. A calamity will befall you that you will be unable to ward off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.
12站起来吧!用你从幼年劳神施行的符咒和你许多的邪术;或者可得益处,或者可得强胜。So take your stand with your spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have wearied yourself from your youth. Perhaps you will succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!
13你筹划太多,以致疲倦。让那些,看星宿的,在说预言的,都站起来,救你脱离所要临到你的事。You are wearied by your many counselors; let them come forward now and save you—your astrologers who observe the stars, who monthly predict your fate.
14他们要像被火焚烧,不能救自己脱离火焰之力;这火并非可烤的炭火,也不是可以坐在其前的火。Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.
15你所劳神的事都要这样与你无益;从幼年与你贸易的也都各奔各乡,无人救你。This is what they are to you—those with whom you have labored and traded from youth—each one strays in his own direction; not one of them can save you.
