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,

當時耶和華始割裂以色列、哈薛擊其四境、

亞蘭王殲滅約哈斯之民、蹂躪之如禾場之土、惟遺騎兵五十、戰車十乘、步卒一萬、

萬軍之耶和華、以色列之上帝曰、巴比倫女、若禾場值踐穀之期、未幾其穡時至焉、錫安民曰、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒噬我毀我、棄我如空器、吞我如鱷魚、以我珍饈果腹、驅我而出、彼虐遇我、暨我骨肉、願罪歸巴比倫、耶路撒冷民曰、彼流我血、願罪歸迦勒底居民、

遂嚴督其役、使之作苦、以勞其生、和泥、陶瓦、力田、所服之役、無不以嚴、○

爾豈非藩圍其身家、及凡所有乎、錫嘏其手所為、其產增益於地、今且伸手擊其所有、必面違爾、耶和華曰、凡彼所有、悉付爾手、惟勿加手於其身、撒但乃退、○一日、約伯子女宴於兄室、使者來告約伯曰、牛耕於田、驢齧芻於側、示巴人猝至、掠之、以刃殺僕、惟我獨逃、以告、言時、又一人至曰、上帝之火、自天而降、焚羊及僕、惟我獨逃、以告、言時、又一人至曰、迦勒底人、分為三隊猝至、掠駝、以刃殺僕、惟我獨逃、以告、

既播厥種、米甸亞瑪力與東方之人、咸上攻之、築營壘、毀土產、至於迦薩、以色列中食物無存、牛羊及驢俱盡、蓋敵攜畜與幕而來、如蝗眾多、其人與駝、不可勝數、入於斯土、欲行毀滅、以色列人緣米甸故、微弱特甚、乃籲耶和華、

七年之末、婦自非利士地而返、為其第宅田畝、往籲於王、

曰、勿稱我拿俄米、當稱我為瑪拉、拿俄米譯即樂瑪拉譯即苦蓋全能者待我苦甚、我富有而出、耶和華使我匱乏而歸、耶和華既責我、全能者既苦我、奚稱我為拿俄米哉、

爾時、人之出入、不得平康、列國居民、大受騷擾、國攻國、邑攻邑、互相糜爛、蓋上帝以諸難擾之也、

若我、在利達時、自謂永不動搖兮、耶和華歟、昔爾施恩、使我立於固山、及爾掩面、我則煩擾兮、

蓋耶和華見以色列人艱苦殊甚、被束者、自由者、消亡殆盡、亦無輔助以色列者、

素飽足者為傭得食、飢餓者不復飢、不育者乃產七子、多子者反致衰弱、耶和華殺人生人、使人歸墓、使人復起、耶和華使人貧、使人富、使人卑微、使人高顯、

一日以利沙經書念、在彼有一貴婦、強之食、後每經其所、則入而食、

歷年既久、埃及王薨、以色列族因其服役、歎息號呼、聲聞於上帝、上帝聞其呻吟、遂追憶與亞伯拉罕以撒雅各所立之約、

饑饉尚有五年、我於彼供養爾、庶免爾與眷聚、及所有者匱乏、

約哈斯在位時、亞蘭王哈薛恆虐以色列人、
