因為你必折斷他們負的軛和欺壓者的棍棒，好像昔日你毀滅米甸人一樣；

因为他们所负的重轭和肩头上的杖，并欺压他们人的棍，你都已经折断，好像在米甸的日子一样。

因为他们所负的重轭和肩头上的杖，并欺压者的棍，你都已经折断，如同在米甸的日子一般。

因為他們所重負的軛和肩背上的橫木、都已破壞；那趕牲口者的棍子也都折斷，像在米甸的日子一樣。

因為他們所負的軛和他們肩上的杖，以及壓迫他們之人的棍，你把它們都折斷了，就像你在米甸之日所做的。

因其負重之軛、撻背之杖、暴者之梃、爾已折之、若於米甸之日、

昔米田人虐遇斯民、負以重軛、加以鞭扑、爾拯救之、折其杖箠、迄於今、亦若是、

蓋民所負之重軛、所加於其肩之任、並督之之杖、主悉折斷、如罰米甸之日、

For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.

You set Israel free from Midian long ago. In the same way, you will break the heavy yoke that weighs Israel down. You will break the wooden beams that are on their shoulders. You will break the rods of those who strike them down.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.

For you will break the yoke of their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. You will break the oppressor’s rod, just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian.

For you have shattered their oppressive yoke and the rod on their shoulders, the staff of their oppressor, just as you did on the day of Midian.

For You will break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

For You have broken the yoke of his burden And the staff of his shoulder, The rod of his oppressor, As in the day of Midian.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.

For You have shattered their oppressive yoke and the rod on their shoulders, the staff of their oppressor, just as You did on the day of Midian.

For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

For their oppressive yoke and the club that strikes their shoulders, the cudgel the oppressor uses on them, you have shattered, as in the day of Midian’s defeat.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

我必在我的土地上擊垮亞述人，在我的山上踐踏他們，除去他們加在我子民身上的軛和重擔。

萬軍之耶和華要鞭打他們，就像在俄立磐石擊殺米甸人，就像祂向海伸杖，使海水淹沒埃及人。到那日，祂必除去亞述人加在你們肩頭的重擔和頸上的軛；那軛必因你們肥壯而折斷。

現在我要打碎他們套在你們頸項上的軛，鬆開你們身上的鎖鏈。」

你必因公義而堅立，再不會受欺壓，也不會擔驚受怕，因為恐懼不會臨近你。

那時，西巴和撒慕拿率領東方各族的殘餘軍隊一萬五千人駐紮在加各，因為已經有十二萬刀兵被殺。基甸取道挪巴和約比哈東邊遊牧者走的路，出其不意地突襲米甸人。米甸二王西巴和撒慕拿逃跑，基甸追上去擒住他們，擊潰他們全軍。

萬軍之耶和華說：「那日，我要折斷他們頸上的軛，砍斷他們的鎖鏈，使他們不再受外族人奴役。

亞述人聽見耶和華的聲音必心驚膽戰，祂必用杖擊打他們。耶和華的刑杖每責打他們一下，祂的子民必擊鼓彈琴。祂必在戰場上揮手擊打他們。

耶和華使他們脫離痛苦、悲傷和殘酷奴役的時候，他們必這樣譏笑巴比倫王：「暴君滅亡了！暴政結束了！耶和華折斷了邪惡君主的權杖。

我要使那些欺壓你的人吞吃自己的肉，喝自己的血喝得酩酊大醉，好像喝酒一樣。那時候，世人都必知道我耶和華是你的救主，是你的救贖主，是雅各的大能者。」

惡人必不能長久統治義人的土地，免得義人也去行惡。

我是你們的上帝耶和華。我曾帶領你們離開埃及，使你們不再做埃及人的奴隸。我打碎了壓在你們身上的重軛，使你們能昂首挺胸、揚眉吐氣。

你必倚靠刀劍生活，又必服侍你的弟弟。到你無法忍受的時候，你必掙脫頸上的重軛。」

求你對付他們，如同對付米甸人和基順河邊的西西拉與耶賓。他們在隱·多珥滅亡，成了地上的糞土。求你使他們的首領得到俄立和西伊伯那樣的下場，使他們的王侯得到西巴和撒慕拿那樣的下場。

後來，以色列人又做耶和華視為惡的事，耶和華就把他們交在米甸人手中，受他們統治七年。米甸人勢力強盛，以色列人只好躲進山裡，藏在洞穴和營寨中。每當他們撒種的時候，米甸人、亞瑪力人及東方人就前來進犯，在他們境內安營，摧毀他們遠至迦薩一帶的莊稼，不給他們留下任何糧食，也不留下一隻羊、一頭牛或驢。入侵者帶著牲畜和帳篷像蝗蟲一樣湧來，人和駱駝不計其數，摧毀了整個地區。以色列人因米甸人的入侵而極其貧乏，就呼求耶和華。

基甸的三百人一起吹響號角時，耶和華使米甸人自相殘殺。他們逃往西利拉的伯·哈示他，一直逃到靠近他巴的亞伯·米何拉的邊境。基甸號召拿弗他利、亞設和瑪拿西的以色列人追殺米甸敗軍，又派人到整個以法蓮山區，吩咐當地人攻打米甸人，佔據遠至伯·巴拉一帶的約旦河渡口。以法蓮人都依言而行，還生擒了米甸人的兩名首領俄立和西伊伯。他們在俄立磐石上殺死了俄立，在西伊伯榨酒池殺了西伊伯。他們繼續追殺米甸人，並帶著俄立和西伊伯的人頭穿過約旦河，交給基甸。

耶和華說：「亞述王有禍了！他是我的憤怒之棍，他手中拿著我發烈怒的杖。

我曾向我的子民發怒，讓我的產業被玷污，把他們交在你手中。你對他們毫不留情，甚至讓老人負極重的軛。

難道你忘記了創造你、鋪展穹蒼、奠立大地根基的耶和華嗎？難道因為試圖毀滅你的欺壓者大發怒氣，你就整天驚恐不安嗎？他們的怒氣如今在哪裡呢？
