3:1 主万军之耶和华，从耶路撒冷和犹大，除掉众人所依靠的，所仗赖的，就是所依靠的粮，所仗赖的水。

For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.

 

3:2 除掉勇士，和战士，审判官，和先知，占卜的，和长老。

The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

 

3:3 五十夫长，和尊贵人。谋士，和有巧艺的，以及妙行法术的。

The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

 

3:4 主说，我必使孩童作他们的首领，使婴孩辖管他们。

And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

 

3:5 百姓要彼此欺压，各人受邻舍的欺压。少年人必侮慢老年人，卑贱人必侮慢尊贵人。

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

 

3:6 人在父家拉住弟兄，说，你有衣服，可以作我们的官长，这败落的事归在你手下吧。

When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

 

3:7 那时他必扬声说，我不作医治你们的人。因我家中没有粮食，也没有衣服。你们不可立我作百姓的官长。

In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

 

3:8 耶路撒冷败落，犹大倾倒。因为他们的舌头，和行为，与耶和华反对，惹了他荣光的眼目。

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

 

3:9 他们的面色证明自己的不正。他们述说自己的罪恶，并不隐瞒，好像所多玛一样。他们有祸了。因为作恶自害。

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

 

3:10 你们要论义人说，他必享福乐。因为要吃自己行为所结的果子。

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

 

3:11 恶人有祸了。他必遭灾难。因为要照自己手所行的受报应。

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

 

3:12 至于我的百姓，孩童欺压他们，妇女管辖他们。我的百姓阿，引导你的，使你走错，并毁坏你所行的道路。

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

 

3:13 耶和华起来辩论，站着审判众民。

The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

 

3:14 耶和华必审问他民中的长老，和首领，说，吃尽葡萄园果子的，就是你们。向贫穷人所夺的，都在你们家中。

The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

 

3:15 主万军之耶和华说，你们为何压治我的百姓，搓磨贫穷人的脸呢。

What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

 

3:16 耶和华又说，因为锡安的女子狂傲，行走挺项，卖弄眼目，俏步徐行，脚下玎铛。

Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

 

3:17 所以主必使锡安的女子头长秃疮，耶和华又使他们赤露下体。

Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

 

3:18 到那日，主必除掉他们华美的脚钏，发网，月牙圈。

In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

 

3:19 耳环，手镯，蒙脸的帕子。

The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

 

3:20 华冠，足链，华带，香盒，符囊。

The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

 

3:21 戒指，鼻环。

The rings, and nose jewels,

 

3:22 吉服，外套，云肩，荷包。

The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

 

3:23 手镜，细麻衣，裹头巾，蒙身的帕子。

The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

 

3:24 必有臭烂代替馨香，绳子代替腰带，光秃代替美发，麻衣系腰代替华服，烙伤代替美容。

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

 

3:25 你的男丁，必倒在刀下，你的勇士，必死在阵上。

Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

 

3:26 锡安（原文作他）的城门必悲伤，哀号。他必荒凉坐在地上。

And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
