復降眚災、加以禍患、俾民數衰少、民心悚懼兮、

他们又因暴虐、患难、愁苦，就减少且卑下。

但他们因欺压、患难、愁苦，人口减少而且卑微。

但他们因欺压、患难、愁苦，人口减少而且卑微。

后来他们在压迫、患难和痛苦的煎熬下人口减少，地位卑下。

以后他们因为压迫、患难、愁苦，就人数减少，降为卑微。

后来因着压迫、灾祸和悲哀的事，他们就人数减少，降为卑屈。

他們又因暴虐、患難、愁苦，就減少且卑下。

但他們因欺壓、患難、愁苦，人口減少而且卑微。

後來他們在壓迫、患難和痛苦的煎熬下人口減少，地位卑下。

以後他們因為壓迫、患難、愁苦，就人數減少，降為卑微。

他們又因受威壓，受患難，有愁苦，而人數減少，地位受屈抑。

後來因著壓迫、災禍和悲哀的事，他們就人數減少，降為卑屈。

厥後復遭暴虐、患難憂苦、民乃減少、而卑抑兮、

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.

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

故當時耶和華始分裂以色列地、使哈泄擊其四境、

萬有之主、以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、巴比倫人若穀場、其期已屆、必遭蹂躪、不日穡時至焉。郇邑及耶路撒冷民曰、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒、噬予滅予、使我為虛器、吞我若蛇、飫我肥甘、逐我遠去、彼虐遇予、殺予戚屬、罪必歸巴比倫、及迦勒底民。

嚴督其役、畀以重任、艱苦其身、陶瓦、擣土、力田、所服之役、無不以嚴。○

蓋爾藩衛其家、與凡所有、使所為亨通、群畜孳息、爾若擊之、喪其貨財、必立詛爾。耶和華曰、彼凡所有、任爾處之、惟勿擊其身。撒但退。○一日、約百子女宴於兄家、有告約百曰、牛耕於田、牝驢齧蒭於側、示巴人猝至、虜之盡、殺爾僕、惟我遁逃以告。言時又一人至曰、天降大火、燬群羊、僕從、惟我遁逃以告。言時又一人至曰、迦勒底人、三軍驟至、取駝殺僕、惟我遁逃以告。

以色列族耕稼既畢、米田亞馬力與東方之人、咸來攻擊、建置營壘、凡土所產、悉被斬艾、至於迦薩。以色列族食物無存、牛羊與驢亦盡。敵與駱駝、牲畜、帷幕、如蝗眾多、不可勝數、既至、欲滅斯土。以色列族、緣米田人故、匱乏特甚、呼籲耶和華。

既盈其期、婦自非利士人地歸、為田畝宅第、呼告於王。

曰、毋稱我拿阿米、乃稱我馬喇、蓋至能者困苦我也。我富足而出、耶和華使我匱乏而歸、至能之耶和華既責我害我、曷稱我拿阿米哉。

當時四周之民、俱遭譴責、出入弗獲平康。國相攻、民相殺、蓋上帝降以厲災。

予享平康之時、自謂永不傾跌、耶和華施恩兮、國祚鞏固、有若山嶽、爾乃遐棄予兮、觳觫之不勝、

以色列族曾遘患難、困苦備嘗、其中或主或僕、均無匡助、惟耶和華垂顧焉。

昔果腹者今傭以得食、饑饉者反無饑、昔不妊者今產七子、育眾子者反絕其孕。可使喪命、可使得生、可使歸墓、可使復生、俱耶和華所為也。使人窮乏、使人富裕、使人卑微、使人高顯、此非耶和華所主乎。

一日以利沙往書念、在彼有婦、家甚富饒、促之飲食、嗣後每過其所、則入飲食。

歷年既久、埃及王薨、以色列族因服役良苦、太息號呼、聲聞於上帝。上帝聞之、追念素與亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立之約、

饑饉尚有五年、我供養爾、庶免眷聚、與凡所有者匱乏。

約哈斯尚存之日、亞蘭王哈泄虐遇以色列族。
