斯邑也、昔為人所揄揚、所欣喜、今則棄之如遺。

我所喜乐可称赞的城，为何被撇弃了呢？

我所喜乐受称赞的城，怎能被撇弃呢？

我所喜乐受称赞的城，怎能被撇弃呢？

我所喜悦的名城为何还没有被撇弃？

著名的城市，我所欢喜的市镇，怎么竟被撇弃呢！

我所喜樂可稱讚的城，為何被撇棄了呢？

我所喜樂受稱讚的城，怎能被撇棄呢？

我所喜樂受稱讚的城，怎能被撇棄呢？

我所喜悅的名城為何還沒有被撇棄？

著名的城市，我所歡喜的市鎮，怎麼竟被撇棄呢！

被稱讚的城、我所喜歡的都市、哪能不被撇棄呢！

得譽之邑、我所悅者、何不早棄之乎、

可歎昔被揄揚、具有喜樂之邑、突然淒涼無人、或作可歎斯邑昔被揄揚具有喜樂今則被棄

Why has the city of renown not been abandoned, the town in which I delight?

Why hasn’t the famous city been deserted? It is the town I take delight in.

How is the famous city not forsaken, the city of my joy?

That famous city, a city of joy, will be forsaken!

How can the city of praise not be abandoned, the town that brings me joy?

How the city of praise has not been deserted, The town of My joy!

Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?

How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

How can the city of praise not be abandoned, the town that brings Me joy?

How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

How deserted will that once-famous city be, that city that was once filled with joy!

How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

天下億兆、聞我降福於斯民、恆錫亨通、必忻喜懽忭、揄揚我名、戰慄寅畏。

示殺、巴比倫已陷、億兆所譽之邑已取、列邦見之、無不駭愕、

摩押不被榮光在希實本有謀害之者、欲滅其國、末面傾圮、鋒刃隨其後。

懼害及身、遙立云巴比倫大邑、素稱鞏固、一時刑至、哀哉、

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、

大邑素衣細布紫絳、飾金玉珠璣、頃刻間、富有遂至貧乏、嗚呼哀哉、各舟長舟子、與附載之人、及航海商旅遙立、見厥火炎炎、呼曰、誰能與大邑比儗乎、以塵埃蒙首、哀哭呼曰、大邑以厥珍寶、使操舟於海者富裕、頃刻間、已至貧乏、嗚呼哀哉、

人將哭云、摩押已毀、敗北而抱愧、四周之人、譏笑而恐懼。

爾之士師、爾之謀臣、必復崛興、有如疇昔、則爾可為淳厚之民、敦龐之俗。

我見惡者強暴、蔓衍葱蘢、若茂樹兮、曾幾何時、其人已非、不得其所兮。
