如彼問爾、何為太息、必曰、因風聞將來之事、眾人喪膽、手疲膝倦、懦弱如水、禍患迫至、主耶和華已言之矣。

他们问你说：‘为何叹息呢？’你就说：‘因为有风声、灾祸要来。人心都必消化，手都发软，精神衰败，膝弱如水。看哪，这灾祸临近，必然成就。这是主耶和华说的。’”

若有人对你说：‘你为什么叹息呢？’你就说：‘因为有风声传来，人心惶惶，双手发软，精神衰败，膝弱如水。看哪，它临近了，一定会发生。’这是主耶和华说的。”

如果有人问你为什么哀叹，你就说有噩耗传来，听见的人都胆战心惊、两手发软、精神萎靡、膝弱如水。灾难必很快发生。这是主耶和华说的。”

他们如果问你：‘你为什么叹息呢？’你就要回答：‘是因为那将要来到的消息；人人都必心慌意乱，手都发软，精神衰颓，他们的膝都像水一般的柔弱。看哪！它要来到了。这事一定要成就。这是主耶和华的宣告。’”

他們問你說：『為何歎息呢？』你就說：『因為有風聲、災禍要來。人心都必消化，手都發軟，精神衰敗，膝弱如水。看哪，這災禍臨近，必然成就。這是主耶和華說的。』」

若有人對你說：『你為甚麼嘆息呢？』你就說：『因為有風聲傳來，人心惶惶，雙手發軟，精神衰敗，膝弱如水。看哪，它臨近了，一定會發生。』這是主耶和華說的。」

And when they ask you,‘ Why are you groaning?’ you shall say,‘ Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt with fear and every hand go limp; every spirit will become faint and every leg will be wet with urine.’ It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord.”

They will ask you,‘ Why are you groaning?’ Then you will say,‘ Because of the news that is coming. The hearts of all the people will melt away in fear. Their hands will not be able to help them. Their spirits will grow weak. And they will be so afraid they’ll wet themselves.’ The news is coming! You can be sure those things will happen,” announces the Lord and King.

And when they say to you,‘ Why do you groan?’ you shall say,‘ Because of the news that it is coming. Every heart will melt, and all hands will be feeble; every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it is coming, and it will be fulfilled,’” declares the Lord God.

When they ask why you are groaning, tell them,‘ I groan because of the terrifying news I have heard. When it comes true, the boldest heart will melt with fear; all strength will disappear. Every spirit will faint; strong knees will become as weak as water. And the Sovereign Lord says: It is coming! It’s on its way!’”

And when they ask you,‘ Why are you groaning?’ then say,‘ Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will become weak.

And when they say to you,‘ Why are you groaning?’ you shall say,‘ Because of the news, for it is coming; and every heart will melt, all hands will go limp, every spirit will be disheartened, and all knees will drip with water. Behold, it is coming and it will happen,’ declares the Lord God.”

And it shall be when they say to you,‘ Why are you sighing?’ that you shall answer,‘ Because of the news; when it comes, every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it is coming and shall be brought to pass,’ says the Lord GOD.”

And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah.

手疲膝倦、懦弱若水、

禍患風聞、絡繹而至、人求先知之默示、然祭司已無律例、長老已無智謀。

巴比倫王聞聲喪膽、憂心戚戚、若婦將產。

爾手疲膽喪、

城邑空虛、變為荒土、人皆喪膽、兩股戰慄、腰骨殊痛、悚惶變色、

予因此瞻喪目矇兮。

耶和華曰、大邦之民、勃然而興、來從北方、至自地極。執弓持戟、殘忍不慈、聲若海濤、乘馬列陳、以戰郇邑。先知曰、我聞其聲、已喪厥膽、我懷憂戚、若婦將產。

末期伊邇、故當廉節、儆醒祈禱、

以大馬色之事、播告於眾、曰、哈末亞八已聞凶耗、恐懼喪膽、不勝戰慄、若海濤之未定。

以西結曰、主耶和華與、人以我言、皆為隱語。

人子、我耶和華指以色列地而言、斯土四境、末期已屆、既屆其時、我必震怒、視其所行不義、深堪痛疾、降災其身、不加矜憫、滅之務盡、使知我乃耶和華。

爾曹猶有孑遺、處於敵國、必使爾心畏葸、風吹葉落、偶聞其聲、則懼而遁、若避鋒刃、即無追者、亦必隕沒。

行潦汎濫、橫溢四境、斯難頻至、危在旦夕、爾眾盡為所淹、聞風而驚駭不已。

見有手足疲倦者、則為之扶持、

或告大闢族曰、亞蘭人、與以法蓮人、結為黨援、大闢族聞之、君民震慴、心搖搖如風木、

世所必至者、人人危懼、至於喪膽、天象震動故也、

以東諸伯必觳觫、摩押英豪必戰慄、迦南居民必喪膽。

於是稱英武、猛若獅者、風聞乎此、必喪其膽、蓋以色列族皆知爾父為豪傑、侍從亦英武。

人子、以色列國人、奚用諺語云、時日遲延、先知之言不應。爾當告之云、我耶和華、必使以色列族、不復用此諺語、乃爾當言、時日伊邇、先知之言必應。此後在以色列邦、必無虛偽之異象、無憑之卜筮、蓋我耶和華言而有應、原不濡滯、我既言之、爾違逆者、尚存之日、必見效驗、我耶和華已言之矣。耶和華又諭我曰、人子、以色列家常言、爾所見之異象、指後來之事、其禍尚遠、不及我躬。故爾告之云、我耶和華所言必不濡滯、應驗伊邇、我耶和華已言之矣。

見有手足疲倦者、則為之扶持、

民問我曰、爾有斯舉、與我何與、請以告我。

先知曰、我欲解憂、反喪厥膽、

人子、以色列違逆之家問爾何為、爾當以我耶和華之命告之曰、此乃耶路撒冷之君、及以色列全家、將來之兆。爾當告之曰、我為兆以示爾、我所為者、其後爾亦必若是、必移貨財、被擄而去、

族長亦必告民曰、有人畏葸怯心、則必旋歸、恐其同儕喪膽、與彼無異。

謂其人曰、耶和華曾以此地錫爾、我所素知、斯土之人懼爾、甚至喪膽、爾出埃及時、耶和華使紅海水涸、約但東亞摩哩王西宏及噩、為爾殲滅、我所風聞。我聞之喪膽、毫無銳氣、不敢敵爾、蓋爾上帝耶和華、乃天上地下之上帝、

約但西、亞摩哩列王、及海濱迦南列王、風聞其事、知耶和華於以色列族前、使水盡涸、待民悉濟、則喪其膽、毫無銳氣、懼以色列族。○

昔爾訓眾、勞者勞之、懦者起之、危者扶之、

故我以色列族之上帝耶和華必降災於猶大及耶路撒冷、使凡聽聞者、必震其耳。
