“他们要承认自己的罪和他们祖宗的罪，就是干犯我的那罪，并且承认自己行事与我反对，

“他们要承认自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事与我作对的过犯。

“他们要承认自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事与我作对的过犯。

“如果他们承认自己和祖先的罪，就是背叛我、与我作对的恶行——

“那时他们就会承认自己的罪孽和他们祖先的罪孽，就是他们对我不忠的过犯，又承认因为行事与我的心意相违，

「他們要承認自己的罪和他們祖宗的罪，就是干犯我的那罪，並且承認自己行事與我反對，

「他們要承認自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事與我作對的過犯。

「他們要承認自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事與我作對的過犯。

「如果他們承認自己和祖先的罪，就是背叛我、與我作對的惡行——

“那時他們就會承認自己的罪孽和他們祖先的罪孽，就是他們對我不忠的過犯，又承認因為行事與我的心意相違，

『他們若承認自己的罪愆、和他們祖宗的罪愆、就是他們的不忠實、對我不忠實、並且行事跟我作對。

是時必承己愆、及前人之罪、自認所行逆我、

如其能任己愆、及前人之罪、自知差失、所行逆我、

彼時必認己之罪、及其列祖之罪、即干我逆我以行之罪、

“‘ But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors— their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me,

“‘ But suppose you admit that both you and your people who lived before you have sinned. You admit the evil and dishonest things you have done against me. And you admit you have become my enemy.

“ But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me,

“ But at last my people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me and being hostile toward me.

“ But when they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their ancestors— their unfaithfulness that they practiced against me, and how they acted with hostility toward me,

‘ But if they confess their wrongdoing and the wrongdoing of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me—

‘ But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary unto me,

“ But if they will confess their sin and the sin of their fathers— their unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, and how they acted with hostility toward Me,

掩蓋自己過犯的，不會興盛；承認並離棄過犯的，必蒙憐憫。

我向你告白我的罪，沒有遮蓋我的罪孽；我說：「我要為我的過犯向耶和華認罪」，你就赦免了我的罪愆。細拉

於是我轉向主耶和華，以禱告、懇求、禁食、披麻蒙灰來尋求他。我向耶和華我的神禱告、認罪，說：「哦，主啊，大而可畏的神，你向那些愛你並遵守你誡命的人持守你的約和慈愛！我們犯了罪，行事扭曲，作惡背叛，偏離了你的誡命和法規，沒有聽從你的僕人眾先知——他們奉你的名向我們的君王們、首領們、祖先們和這地所有的子民說話。「主啊，公義在於你；至於我們猶大人、耶路撒冷的居民，以及你驅趕到遠近各地的全體以色列人，因為對你行事不忠，都滿面羞恥，就像今天這樣！耶和華啊，我們和我們的君王們、首領們、祖先們都滿面羞恥，因為我們對你犯了罪！憐憫和赦免在於主我們的神；我們卻背叛了他，沒有聽從耶和華我們神的話，沒有遵行他藉著他的僕人眾先知在我們面前所立的律法。「全體以色列人都違背、偏離了你的律法，不聽從你的話；因此神的僕人摩西的律法上所記的詛咒和審判都傾瀉在我們身上，因為我們對神犯了罪。神實現了他的話語，就是他針對我們、針對那些審判我們的審判官所說的，為要使極大的禍患臨到我們身上；像這樣在耶路撒冷所發生的禍患，在普天之下從來沒有發生過。照著摩西的律法上所記的，這一切禍患都臨到我們身上；然而我們卻沒有懇求耶和華我們神的恩寵，好使我們回轉離開自己的罪孽，留心你的真理。於是耶和華有意使這禍患臨到我們身上，因為耶和華我們的神所做的一切都是公義的，但我們卻沒有聽從他的話。「主我們的神哪，你曾用大能的手把你的子民從埃及地領出來，為自己成就了名聲，就像今天這樣；我們犯了罪，做了惡！主啊，現在求你照著你一切的公義，從你的城耶路撒冷和你的聖山收回你的怒氣和你的怒火！因我們的罪過和我們祖先的罪孽，耶路撒冷和你的子民成了我們四圍所有的人辱罵的對象。「我們的神哪，現在求你垂聽你僕人的禱告和懇求；主啊，為你自己的緣故，求你使你的臉照亮你荒涼的聖所！我的神哪，求你側耳聽，求你垂聽！求你睜眼看我們的荒涼和這被稱為你名下的城，因為我們在你面前呈上的懇求不是因著我們的義，而是因著你豐盛的憐憫。主啊，求你垂聽！主啊，求你赦免！主啊，求你留心聽並且行動！我的神哪，為你自己的緣故，求你不要遲延，因為你的城和你的子民都是被稱為你名下的。」我還在說話、禱告，承認我的罪和我民以色列的罪，並為我神的聖山在耶和華我的神面前呈上懇求——

我要起來，到我父親那裡去，對他說：『父親，我對天犯了罪，也在你面前犯了罪。我再也不配稱為你的兒子，請把我當做你的一個雇工吧。』
