21:1

τὸ ὅραμα τῆς ἐρήμου ὡς καταιγὶς δῑ ἐρήμου διέλθοι ἐξ ἐρήμου ἐρχομένη ἐκ γῆς φοβερὸν

The vision of the wilderness. As a whirlwind might sweep through the wilderness, coming out of the wilderness, out of a land—a fearful thing.

論曠野的異象。有如暴風掠過曠野，從曠野而來，從那地而來，令人恐懼。

21:2

τὸ ὅραμα καὶ σκληρὸν ἀνηγγέλη μοι ὁ ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ ὁ ἀνομῶν ἀνομεῖ ἐπ’ ἐμοὶ οἱ Αιλαμῖται καὶ οἱ πρέσβεις τῶν Περσῶν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἔρχονται νῦν στενάξω καὶ παρακαλέσω ἐμαυτόν

A harsh vision was announced to me: the treacherous one deals treacherously, the lawless one acts lawlessly. Against me come the Ailamites and the ambassadors of the Persians. Now I will groan and comfort myself.

有嚴厲的異象指示我：行詭詐的仍行詭詐，行不法的仍行不法。以攔人和波斯的使臣都來攻擊我。如今我要歎息，自己安慰自己。

21:3

διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεπλήσθη ἡ ὀσφύς μου ἐκλύσεως καὶ ὠδῖνες ἔλαβόν με ὡς τὴν τίκτουσαν ἠδίκησα τὸ μὴ ἀκοῦσαι ἐσπούδασα τὸ μὴ βλέπειν

Therefore my loins are filled with faintness, and pangs have seized me like a woman in labour. I did wrong in not hearing; I hastened not to see.

因此我的腰滿了疲軟，痛苦抓住我，像產難的婦人一樣。我因不肯聽而行了不義，我急切地不去看。

21:4

ἡ καρδία μου πλανᾶται καὶ ἡ ἀνομία με βαπτίζει ἡ ψυχή μου ἐφέστηκεν εἰς φόβον

My heart goes astray, and lawlessness overwhelms me; my soul stands in terror.

我的心迷亂，不法淹沒了我；我的魂陷入恐懼之中。

21:5

ἑτοίμασον τὴν τράπεζαν πίετε φάγετε ἀναστάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἑτοιμάσατε θυρεούς

Prepare the table. Drink, eat. Rise up, you rulers, prepare shields!

你要豫備筵席。你們要喝，要吃。首領們哪，起來豫備盾牌！

21:6

ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος πρός με βαδίσας σεαυτῷ στῆσον σκοπὸν καὶ ὃ ἂν ἴδῃς ἀνάγγειλον

For thus the Lord said to me: Go and set a watchman for yourself, and whatever you see, report it.

因為主對我如此說：你去為自己設立守望的人，把你所看見的都報告出來。

21:7

καὶ εἶδον ἀναβάτας ἱππεῖς δύο ἀναβάτην ὄνου καὶ ἀναβάτην καμήλου ἀκρόασαι ἀκρόασιν πολλὴν

And I saw two mounted horsemen, a rider on a donkey and a rider on a camel. Listen with much listening,

我看見兩個騎馬的人，一個騎驢的，一個騎駱駝的。要留心細聽，多多傾聽。

21:8

καὶ κάλεσον Ουριαν εἰς τὴν σκοπιὰν κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν ἔστην διὰ παντὸς ἡμέρας καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἔστην ὅλην τὴν νύκτα

and call Ourias to the watchtower of the Lord. And he said: I stood continually by day, and I stood at the camp all night long.

你要召烏利亞到主的守望樓上。他說：我終日站立不斷，我整夜站在營盤上。

21:9

καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἔρχεται ἀναβάτης συνωρίδος καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν πέπτωκεν Βαβυλών καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγάλματα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῆς συνετρίβησαν εἰς τὴν γῆν

And behold, he himself is coming, a rider of a two-horse chariot; and answering he said: Babylon has fallen, and all her images and her handmade things have been shattered to the ground.

看哪，他來了，是乘雙馬戰車的；他回答說：巴比倫傾倒了，她一切的偶像和她手所造的都被摔碎在地上。
