| | 1 | 论海旁旷野的默示。有仇敌从旷野，从可怕之地而来，好像南方的旋风，猛然扫过。
An oracle concerning the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the southland, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror. | |
| | 2 | 令人凄惨的异象，已默示于我。诡诈的行诡诈，毁灭的行毁灭。以拦哪，你要上去。玛代阿，你要围困。主说，我使一切叹息止住。
A dire vision has been shown to me: The traitor betrays, the looter takes loot. Elam, attack! Media, lay siege! I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused. | |
| | 3 | 所以我满腰疼痛。痛苦将我抓住，好像产难的妇人一样。我疼痛甚至不能听。我惊惶甚至不能看。
At this my body is racked with pain, pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor; I am staggered by what I hear, I am bewildered by what I see. | |
| | 4 | 我心慌张，惊恐威吓我，我所羡慕的黄昏，变为我的战兢。

| | 5 | 他们摆设筵席，派人守望，又吃又喝。首领阿，你们起来，用油抹盾牌。
They set the tables, they spread the rugs, they eat, they drink! Get up, you officers, oil the shields! | |
| | 6 | 主对我如此说，你去设立守望的，使他将所看见的述说。
This is what the Lord says to me: "Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees. | |
| | 7 | 他看见军队，就是骑马的一对一对地来，又看见驴队，骆驼队，就要侧耳细听。
When he sees chariots with teams of horses, riders on donkeys or riders on camels, let him be alert, fully alert." | |
| | 8 | 他像狮子吼叫，说，主阿，我白日常站在望楼上，整夜立在我守望所。
And the lookout shouted, "Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; every night I stay at my post. | |
| | 9 | 看哪，有一队军兵骑着马，一对一对地来。他就说，巴比伦倾倒了。倾倒了，他一切雕刻的神像，都打碎于地。
Look, here comes a man in a chariot with a team of horses. And he gives back the answer: 'Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!'" | |
| | 10 | 我被打的禾稼，我场上的谷阿，我从万军之耶和华以色列的神那里所听见的，都告诉你们了。
O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD Almighty, from the God of Israel. | |
| | 11 | 论度玛的默示。有人声从西珥呼问我，说，守望的阿，夜里如何。守望的阿，夜里如何。
An oracle concerning Dumah: Someone calls to me from Seir, "Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?" | |
| | 12 | 守望的说，早晨将到，黑夜也来。你们若要问，就可以问，可以回头再来。
The watchman replies, "Morning is coming, but also the night. If you would ask, then ask; and come back yet again." | |
| | 13 | 论亚拉伯的默示。底但结伴的客旅阿，你们必在亚拉伯的树林中住宿。
An oracle concerning Arabia: You caravans of Dedanites, who camp in the thickets of Arabia, | |
| | 14 | 提玛地的居民拿水来，送给口渴的，拿饼来迎接逃避的。
bring water for the thirsty; you who live in Tema, bring food for the fugitives. | |
| | 15 | 因为他们逃避刀剑，和出了鞘的刀，并上了弦的弓，与刀兵的重灾。
They flee from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow and from the heat of battle. | |
| | 16 | 主对我这样说，一年之内，照雇工的年数，基达的一切荣耀必归于无有。
This is what the Lord says to me: "Within one year, as a servant bound by contract would count it, all the pomp of Kedar will come to an end. | |
| | 17 | 弓箭手所余剩的，就是基达人的勇士，必然稀少。因为这是耶和华以色列的神说的。
The survivors of the bowmen, the warriors of Kedar, will be few." The LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken. | |
