May no children ever have been born on that night. May no shout of joy 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.

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

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

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

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.

No one will ever live in Babylon again. No one will live there for all time to come. Those who wander in the desert will never set up their tents there. Shepherds will never rest their flocks there.But desert creatures will lie down there. Wild dogs will fill its houses. Owls will live there. Wild goats will jump around in it.Hyenas will live in its forts. Wild dogs will live in its beautiful palaces. The time for Babylon to be punished is near. Its days are numbered.

The songs of musicians will never be heard in you again. Gone will be the music of harps, flutes and trumpets. No worker of any kind will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voices of brides and grooms will never be heard in you again. Your traders were among the world’s most important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.

The happy sounds of tambourines will be gone. The noise of those who enjoy wild parties will stop. The joyful music of harps will become silent.

I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness. The voices of brides and grooms will not be heard anymore. There will be no sounds of joy in the towns of Judah. And there will be no joy in the streets of Jerusalem. The land will become a desert.
