厥後復遭暴虐、患難憂苦、民乃減少、而卑抑兮、

復降眚災、加以禍患、俾民數衰少、民心悚懼兮、

民因遭暴虐患難而愁苦、遂至滅少卑微、

主德蕩蕩。無偏無黨。

Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow;

Then the number of God’s people got smaller. They were made humble by trouble, suffering and sorrow.

When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow,

When they decrease in number and become impoverished through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,

When they are diminished and are humbled by cruel oppression and sorrow,

When they become few and lowly Because of oppression, misery, and sorrow,

When they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,

Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

When they are diminished and are humbled by cruel oppression and sorrow,

Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering.

娜娥米對她們說：「不要叫我娜娥米，要叫我瑪拉，因為全能者使我受盡苦痛；我滿滿地出去，但耶和華使我空空地回來；既然耶和華證實了我的不是，全能者向我降下了災禍，你們為什麼還叫我娜娥米呢？」

至於我，我安穩的時候曾說：「我永遠不致動搖。」耶和華啊，藉著你的恩典，你使我的江山穩固；你隱藏你的臉，我就感到惶恐！

飽足的為食物受雇，飢餓的卻不再挨餓；不能懷孕的生了七個，兒子眾多的反倒衰頹。耶和華使人死，也使人活；使人下陰間，也使人從那裡上來。耶和華使人貧窮，也使人富有；使人降卑，也使人升高。

我要在那裡供應你，免得你和你的家人，以及一切屬於你的，都陷入窮困，因為還會有五年的饑荒。」』
