Then the watchman called out,“ Day after day I have stood on the watchtower, my lord. Night after night I have remained at my post.

他像狮子吼叫，说：“主啊，我白日常站在望楼上，整夜立在我守望所。”

他如狮子般吼叫：“主啊，我白天常站在瞭望楼，彻夜立在我的瞭望台。”

他如狮子般吼叫：“主啊，我白天常站在瞭望楼，彻夜立在我的瞭望台。”

守望的人大喊：“我主啊，我在瞭望塔上日夜观看。

后来，守望者（按照《马索拉文本》，“守望者”作“狮子”；现参照《死海古卷》和《叙利亚文古译本》翻译）喊叫着说：“主啊！我每日不断站在守望楼上，每夜立在我守望的岗位中。

后来，守望者呼喊：“主啊，我白天一直站在守望楼，每夜立在我的哨所，

他像獅子吼叫，說：主啊，我白日常站在望樓上，整夜立在我守望所。

他如獅子般吼叫：「主啊，我白天常站在瞭望樓，徹夜立在我的瞭望臺。」

他如獅子般吼叫：「主啊，我白天常站在瞭望樓，徹夜立在我的瞭望臺。」

守望的人大喊：「我主啊，我在瞭望塔上日夜觀看。

後來，守望者（按照《馬索拉文本》，“守望者”作“獅子”；現參照《死海古卷》和《叙利亞文古譯本》翻譯）喊叫著說：“主啊！我每日不斷站在守望樓上，每夜立在我守望的崗位中。

於是那觀看者喊着說：『主啊，我終日不斷地在瞭望樓上站着，我整夜無停地在我的守望所上立着。

後來，守望者呼喊：「主啊，我白天一直站在守望臺，每夜立在我的哨所，

其人呼聲若獅、曰、主歟、我旦晝常立於戍樓、永夜見置於巡地、

大聲呼曰、彼來若獅、我主與、余巡守已永朝矣、屹立已永夕矣、

呼曰、彼來若獅、彼來若獅或作有獅來矣我主歟、我白晝常立於望樓、終夜立於我守望之所、

And the lookout shouted,“ Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; every night I stay at my post.

“ My master!” the guard shouts back.“ Day after day I stand here on the lookout tower. Every night I stay here on duty.

Then he who saw cried out:“ Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights.

Then the lookout reported,“ Lord, I stand on the watchtower all day, and I stay at my post all night.

Then the lookout called,“ Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower, And I am stationed every night at my guard post.

Then he cried,“ A lion, my Lord! I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime; I have sat at my post every night.

And he cried as a lion: O Lord, I stand continually upon the watch- tower in the day- time, and am set in my ward whole nights;

Then the lookout reported,“ Lord, I stand on the watchtower all day, and I stay at my post all night.

And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

Then the guard cries out:“ On the watchtower, O sovereign master, I stand all day long; at my post I am stationed every night.

He cried like a lion:“ Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post.

I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer my complaint.Then the Lord said to me,“ Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.

I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night.

I will come like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan, leaping on the sheep in the pasture. I will chase Edom from its land, and I will appoint the leader of my choice. For who is like me, and who can challenge me? What ruler can oppose my will?”

For the leaders of my people— the Lord’s watchmen, his shepherds— are blind and ignorant. They are like silent watchdogs that give no warning when danger comes. They love to lie around, sleeping and dreaming.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.

They will roar like lions, like the strongest of lions. Growling, they will pounce on their victims and carry them off, and no one will be there to rescue them.

“ I will come like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan, leaping on the sheep in the pasture. I will chase Babylon from its land, and I will appoint the leader of my choice. For who is like me, and who can challenge me? What ruler can oppose my will?”

O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls; they will pray day and night, continually. Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.

A lion stalks from its den, a destroyer of nations. It has left its lair and is headed your way. It’s going to devastate your land! Your towns will lie in ruins, with no one living in them anymore.

He has left his den like a strong lion seeking its prey, and their land will be made desolate by the sword of the enemy and the Lord’s fierce anger.
