How is the famous city not forsaken, the city of my joy?

That famous city, a city of joy, will be forsaken!

How can the city of praise not be abandoned, the town that brings me joy?

天下萬國、聞我降福於斯民、亦必欣喜、揄揚我名、頌美我、歸榮於我、因我降福於耶路撒冷、賜以平康、必畏懼戰慄、畏懼戰慄或作詫異驚駭

示沙革、即巴比倫哀哉已陷、天上所譽之邑、哀哉已取、巴比倫在列國中、哀哉變為荒蕪、或作示沙革何竟失陷天下所譽之邑何竟被攻取巴比倫在列國中何竟荒蕪

摩押榮華歸於無有、人在希實本、設謀以害之曰、當往絕之、使不復成國、瑪得緬歟、爾亦傾滅、鋒刃追襲爾後、

因懼其苦而遠立、云、廣大鞏固之邑巴比倫、頃刻間爾之刑至矣、哀哉、哀哉、

我尼布甲尼撒王曰、此巴比倫大城、非我用大能建為王都、以顯我榮者乎、

曰、此大邑衣以枲布紫絳之衣、飾以金珠寶石、富有如此之大、頃刻間消滅、哀哉、哀哉、凡舟長舟子、及乘舟者、與諸航海之商旅、皆遠立、見焚彼之煙、呼曰、何邑能比此大邑乎、以塵埃蒙首、蒙首原文作撒於首號泣悲痛、呼曰、此大邑以其珍寶、使凡操舟於海者致富、頃刻間成為荒墟、哀哉、哀哉、

摩押已毀、或作摩押驚惶當為之號哭、摩押含羞抱愧、轉背逃遁、為四周之人所訕笑、使四周之人驚駭、

必使爾士師仍似曩時、使爾謀臣猶如昔日、厥後爾必得稱為善義之城、忠信之邑、

其日爾當當或作將唱斯歌、以刺巴比倫王、曰、虐遇人者絕矣、強暴之事息矣、主已折惡人之梃、暴居之杖、逞怒擊萬民不息、發忿轄列邦、逼迫不止者、主已折之、

我曾見強暴之惡人興旺、如根深葉茂之大樹、忽然滅沒、歸於無有、我尋覓之、亦不見矣、
