Then I said,“ O Sovereign Lord, please stop or we will not survive, for Israel is so small.”

我就说：“主耶和华啊，求你止息；因为雅各微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？”

我就说：“主耶和华啊，求你止息；因为雅各弱小，他怎能站立得住呢？”

我就说：“主耶和华啊，求你止息；因为雅各弱小，他怎能站立得住呢？”

那时，我说：“主耶和华啊，求你停止吧！雅各那么弱小，他怎么受得了呢？”

因此我对主耶和华说：“求你停止吧！因雅各太弱小，怎能站立得住呢？”

我就說：「主耶和華啊，求你止息；因為雅各微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？」

我就說：「主耶和華啊，求你止息；因為雅各弱小，他怎能站立得住呢？」

我就說：「主耶和華啊，求你止息；因為雅各弱小，他怎能站立得住呢？」

那時，我說：「主耶和華啊，求你停止吧！雅各那麼弱小，他怎麼受得了呢？」

因此我對主耶和華說：“求你停止吧！因雅各太弱小，怎能站立得住呢？”

我就說：『主永恆主啊，請停止哦！雅各怎能站立得住呢？他是這麼微小啊。』

我曰、主耶和華歟、求爾止息、雅各微小、何能卓立乎、

我曰、主耶和華與、祈爾中止、雅各衰微、能久存乎。

我曰、求主天主中止、雅各已衰微、焉能得立、

Then I cried out,“ Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!”

Then I cried out,“ Lord and King, please stop! How can Jacob’s people continue? They are such a weak nation!”

Then I said,“ O Lord God, please cease! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!”

Then I said,“ Lord GOD, please stop! How will Jacob survive since he is so small?”

Then I said,“ Lord God, please stop! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.”

Then I said:“ O Lord GOD, cease, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he is small!”

Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

Then I said,“ Lord God, please stop! How will Jacob survive since he is so small?”

Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he[ is] small.

I said,“ Sovereign LORD, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is too weak!”

Then I said,“ Lord Yahweh, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”

Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside your anger against us once more.

In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy them.”

There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people, not diminish them; I will honor them, not despise them.

Let the priests, who minister in the Lord’s presence, stand and weep between the entry room to the Temple and the altar. Let them pray,“ Spare your people, Lord! Don’t let your special possession become an object of mockery. Don’t let them become a joke for unbelieving foreigners who say,‘ Has the God of Israel left them?’”

If the Lord of Heaven’s Armies had not spared a few of us, we would have been wiped out like Sodom, destroyed like Gomorrah.

In my vision the locusts ate every green plant in sight. Then I said,“ O Sovereign Lord, please forgive us or we will not survive, for Israel is so small.”So the Lord relented from this plan.“ I will not do it,” he said.
