For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

若吹无定的号声，谁能预备打仗呢？

号角吹出来的音若不清楚，谁会预备打仗呢？

号角吹出来的音若不清楚，谁会预备打仗呢？

如果号声不清楚，谁会预备打仗呢？

又如果军号所发的声音不清楚，谁会准备作战呢？

实际上，如果号角发出的声音真的不清楚，谁会准备好出战呢？

若吹無定的號聲，誰能預備打仗呢？

號角吹出來的音若不清楚，誰會預備打仗呢？

號角吹出來的音若不清楚，誰會預備打仗呢？

如果號聲不清楚，誰會預備打仗呢？

又如果軍號所發的聲音不清楚，誰會準備作戰呢？

就是號筒罷、若發出無定的聲音來，誰能豫備出戰呢？

實際上，如果號角發出的聲音真的不清楚，誰會準備好出戰呢？

角聲無定、孰備戰乎、

如吹角而音無別、奚以備戰乎、

若角不發一定之聲、誰備戰乎、

再如吹角、若發音含混不明、其誰復鼓舞精神、從事戰鬥耶？

Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?

Also, if the trumpet call isn’t clear, who will get ready for battle?

And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?

And if the bugler doesn’t sound a clear call, how will the soldiers know they are being called to battle?

In fact, if the bugle makes an unclear sound, who will prepare for battle?

For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?

For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?

In fact, if the trumpet makes an unclear sound, who will prepare for battle?

If, for example, the trumpet makes an unclear sound, who will get ready for battle?

For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that[ it is] the sound of the trumpet.He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done[ it]?

And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long[ blast] with the ram’s horn,[ and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark,[ the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall[ any] word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about[ it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD,[ the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.And the city shall be accursed,[ even] it, and all that[ are] therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that[ are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.And ye, in any wise keep[ yourselves] from the accursed thing, lest ye make[ yourselves] accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,[ are] consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.So the people shouted when[ the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

And it shall come to pass in that day,[ that] the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and[ so] builded. And he that sounded the trumpet[ was] by me.And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work[ is] great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.In what place[ therefore] ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high[ places].Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take[ any] person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

And he divided the three hundred men[ into] three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be[ that], as I do, so shall ye do.When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that[ are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say,[ The sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon.

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for[ it is] nigh at hand;
