Yes, may that night be barren; may no joyful shout be heard in it.

愿那夜没有生育，其间也没有欢乐的声音。

看哪，愿那夜没有生育，其间也没有欢乐的声音。

看哪，愿那夜没有生育，其间也没有欢乐的声音。

愿那夜无人生育，毫无快乐之声。

愿那夜没有生育，也没有欢乐的声音。

願那夜沒有生育，其間也沒有歡樂的聲音。

看哪，願那夜沒有生育，其間也沒有歡樂的聲音。

看哪，願那夜沒有生育，其間也沒有歡樂的聲音。

願那夜無人生育，毫無快樂之聲。

願那夜沒有生育，也沒有歡樂的聲音。

唉，願那夜沒有孕育；也沒有歡樂聲進入其間。

願是夕孤寂、不聞歡聲、

何如是夕不誕嬰孩、不聞懽聲。

是夜不如虛度、無歡樂之聲聞於其間、

May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it.

May no children ever have been born on that night. May no shout of joy be heard in it.

Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry enter it.

Let that night be childless. Let it have no joy.

Behold, may that night be barren; May no joyful shout enter it.

Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout come into it!

Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.

Yes, may that night be barren; may no joyful shout be heard in it.

Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

Indeed, let that night be barren; let no shout of joy penetrate it!

Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.

It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; a nomad will not pitch his tent there, and shepherds will not let their flocks rest there.But desert creatures will lie down there, and owls will fill the houses. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will leap about.Hyenas will howl in the fortresses, and jackals, in the luxurious palaces. Babylon’s time is almost up; her days are almost over.

The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; no craftsman of any trade will ever be found in you again; the sound of a mill will never be heard in you again;the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the voice of a groom and bride will never be heard in you again. All this will happen because your merchants were the nobility of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.

The joyful tambourines have ceased. The noise of the jubilant has stopped. The joyful lyre has ceased.

I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sound of joy and gladness and the voices of the groom and the bride, for the land will become a desolate waste.
