昔迦勒底未建國時、其民為野民、亞述人使之雜處、今築崇臺、毀推羅之宮殿、悉為瓦礫。

看哪，迦勒底人之地向来没有这民，这国是亚述人为住旷野的人所立的。现在他们建筑戍楼，拆毁推罗的宫殿，使她成为荒凉。

看哪，迦勒底人之地，这国民如今已不复存在。亚述人使它成为住旷野者的居所。他们建筑自己的瞭望楼，拆毁它的宫殿，使它成为荒凉。

看哪，迦勒底人之地，这国民如今已不复存在。亚述人使它成为住旷野者的居所。他们建筑自己的瞭望楼，拆毁它的宫殿，使它成为荒凉。

看看迦勒底人的土地，那里已杳无人烟！亚述人使它成为野兽出没之地，他们筑起围城的高台，摧毁它的宫殿，使它沦为废墟。

看哪！使推罗成为旷野，走兽居住之处的，是来自迦勒底地的人，而不是亚述人；他们要筑起攻城的高塔，拆毁推罗的城堡，使它成为废墟。

看哪！迦勒底人之地——这地上的国民已经不在了。亚述人把这地指定给旷野的走兽；他们立起攻城塔，把城堡彻底摧毁，使地变为废墟。

看看迦勒底人的土地，那裡已杳無人煙！亞述人使它成為野獸出沒之地，他們築起圍城的高臺，摧毀它的宮殿，使它淪為廢墟。

看哪！使推羅成為曠野，走獸居住之處的，是來自迦勒底地的人，而不是亞述人；他們要築起攻城的高塔，拆毀推羅的城堡，使它成為廢墟。

看哪，迦勒底人之地；這人民已不成為人民了；亞述人使她成為住曠野者之地；他們立起攻城的設備來，將城的宮堡毁為平地，使城變為廢瓦頹牆。

看哪！迦勒底人之地——這地上的國民已經不在了。亞述人把這地指定給曠野的走獸；他們立起攻城塔，把城堡徹底摧毀，使地變為廢墟。

試觀迦勒底地、無有居民、亞述人使為野獸之所、建築戍樓、毀其宮室、使為邱墟、

惟此迦勒底民之國、古昔原無、乃亞述為野民所立、今建築崇臺、或作惟此迦勒底民其國古昔建立後歸無有乃亞述所滅使為野獸所處今復興建築崇臺以毀推羅之宮殿、使成邱墟、

Look at the land of the Babylonians, this people that is now of no account! The Assyrians have made it a place for desert creatures; they raised up their siege towers, they stripped its fortresses bare and turned it into a ruin.

Look at the land of the Babylonians. No one lives there anymore. The Assyrians have turned it into a place for desert creatures. They built their towers in order to attack it. They took everything out of its forts. They knocked down all its buildings.

Behold the land of the Chaldeans! This is the people that was not; Assyria destined it for wild beasts. They erected their siege towers, they stripped her palaces bare, they made her a ruin.

Look at the land of Babylonia— the people of that land are gone! The Assyrians have handed Babylon over to the wild animals of the desert. They have built siege ramps against its walls, torn down its palaces, and turned it to a heap of rubble.

我將使迦勒底人振興、殘忍疾作、遍行天下、強據邦國、

昔巴比倫富甲萬邦、為迦勒底人所尊、厥後必為上帝所敗、若所多馬蛾摩拉然。

亞述人之所為、非欲成我之志、其意乃為翦滅列邦。

肇基於巴別、以力、亞甲及示拿地之甲尼。由示拿亞述出、建尼尼微、哩河伯邑與加拉。

巴比倫王巴拉但子、米羅達巴拉但、聞希西家病愈、致書饋禮、

言時又一人至曰、迦勒底人、三軍驟至、取駝殺僕、惟我遁逃以告。

以色列族被虜、亞述王使人自巴比倫、古他、亞瓦、哈末、西法瓦音、至撒馬利亞諸邑、據其地、居其城、

主耶和華曰、我必使諸王之王、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒、來自北方、簡其車馬、率其軍旅、以攻推羅、平原屬邑、必亡以刃、築壘建營、多置干戈、攻推羅城、以槌破城垣、以斧斫戍樓。城垣既破、邑門既啟、敵人驟入、萬馬奔騰、塵埃蔽邑、乘者號呼、車輪轟轟、宮室震動。維彼逵衢、遭馬足之蹂躪、維彼人民、攖鋒刃而殺戮、雖地利險峻、亦無不破。敵攘貨財、毀華宮、破壁垣、木石塵土、俱投水中、謳歌必息、琴瑟不聞、我使之然、惟留磐巔、張網之所、厥後不復建城於此、我耶和華已言之矣。主耶和華告推羅曰、爾之城垣傾圮、被傷者號呼、居民見殺、洲島聞之、豈不震動。海濱君王、將下其位、解其麗服、去其繡裳、戰慄危懼、坐於塗炭、眾作哀歌云、有名之邑、在彼海中、素稱鞏固、舟楫薈萃之所、鄰邦無不惕伏、今已傾圮、海島之民、見爾傾頹、歸於烏有、靡不震驚。主耶和華曰、我使爾邑荒蕪、無人居處、使海水漲溢淹爾、我使爾居民、俱落深淵、歸於幽邈、陷於地下、無異久葬之人、斯後我使福邦復興、爾邑無人居處、我使爾邑歸於烏有、雖索之而莫得、凡見爾若此、必致恐懼、我耶和華已言之矣。

三曰希底結、流於亞述東。四曰百辣。

死於故土、即迦勒底之耳邑、其時父他拉尚在。

緣耶和華淆億兆之言語、散之四方、故名其邑曰巴別。

乃離迦勒底、居哈蘭、父死後、徙至爾所居之地、

我震怒斯民、使亞述人、為杖箠以擊之、亞述人亦有禍矣、

居荒服者、拜跪於前、為仇敵者、望塵俯伏兮、

他拉挈其子亞伯蘭、及孫羅得、即哈蘭子、並其媳、即亞伯蘭妻撒勑、咸出迦勒底之耳邑、欲往迦南、至於哈蘭居焉。

故使亞述王軍長攻之、執馬拿西、擊以鐵索、解至巴比倫、

人子、巴比倫王、尼布甲尼撒勞師興眾、以攻推羅、負載辛勤、故首為去髮、肩為去皮、無一人不若是、王與軍旅攻城、未得犒勞、

自謂此非巴比倫大城、我所建造者乎、我以之為國都、顯我能、彰我榮、
