爾聞人言、昔耶和華所選之二族、今遐棄之、於是人藐視我民、不以為邦國、

“你没有揣摩这百姓的话吗？他们说：‘耶和华所拣选的二族，他已经弃绝了。’他们这样藐视我的百姓，以为不再成国。

“你没有留意这百姓所说的话吗？他们说：‘耶和华所拣选的二族，他已经弃绝了。’他们这样藐视我的百姓，不把他们当作国来看待。

“你听见了吗？人们说，‘耶和华已经弃绝了祂所拣选的以色列和犹大两个国家。’他们藐视我的子民，视他们为亡国之民。

『這人民講些甚麼話你沒有看明白麼？他們說：「永恆主所揀選的二族、他已經棄絕了」，因此列國的人就藐視我的人民，不再拿他們當列國中的一國看待。

斯民所云、耶和華已棄其所選之二族、其言爾不思之乎、彼若斯篾視我民、以為不復成國、

斯民所言、爾不知乎、彼曰、昔主所選之二族、今已棄之、彼如是藐視我民、目中視之不復為邦國、

“ Have you not noticed that these people are saying,‘ The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms he chose’? So they despise my people and no longer regard them as a nation.

“ Haven’t you noticed what these people are saying? They say,‘ The Lord once chose the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah. But now he has turned his back on them.’ So they hate my people. They do not think of them as a nation anymore.

“ Have you not observed that these people are saying,‘ The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight.

“ Have you noticed what people are saying?—‘ The Lord chose Judah and Israel and then abandoned them!’ They are sneering and saying that Israel is not worthy to be counted as a nation.

“ Have you not noticed what these people have said? They say,‘ The LORD has rejected the two families he had chosen.’ My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation among them.

“ Have you not observed what these people have asserted, saying,‘ The two families which the Lord chose, He has rejected them’? So they despise My people as no longer being a nation in their sight.

“ Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying,‘ The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has also cast them off’? Thus they have despised My people, as if they should no more be a nation before them.

Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

“ Have you not noticed what these people have said? They say,‘ The Lord has rejected the two families He had chosen.’ My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation among them.

Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

“ You have surely noticed what these people are saying, haven’t you? They are saying,‘ The LORD has rejected the two families of Israel and Judah that he chose.’ So they have little regard that my people will ever again be a nation.

“ Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying,‘ Has Yahweh cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”

告其同宗及撒馬利亞軍旅、曰、此荏弱之猶大人何為、斯邑既燬、盡成瓦礫、彼乃欲復興工作、立竣厥工乎。吾儕豈容其建城獻祭哉。亞捫人多比侍立、曰、彼所築之石墻、即狐登之亦圮。我禱曰、我為人藐視、望上帝鑒察、願彼之凌辱人者、反以自受、見虜於異邦、遭其虐遇。

曰、莫若絶之、滅其國民、使以色列之名、不復設憶兮、

鄰里凌辱予、同居姍笑予兮、異邦人作歌譏刺、搖首以欺予、皆爾所使兮。

人叱之曰、去之去之、遍體血污、手不可捫、既流亡於異邦、異邦人曰、勿旅於此兮。

耶和華所得之民不棄之如遺兮、

則我與僕大闢約、言必有後、以踐國位、及我與利未人祭司約、言不乏人、以服事我、斯約亦可廢。天象不可測、海沙不能度、我僕大闢之裔、及服事我之利未人必使繁衍、亦若是。

凡過耶路撒冷者、鼓掌搖首、作怨憤之聲、曰、天下素稱華國樂土者、非此邑乎。敵口孔張、切齒憤聲、曰、我所望者、今日之事、斯邑吞噬、我所目睹兮。

人子、昔耶路撒冷遭難之日、推羅之人譏之、曰、吁哉、民出入之所、其邑已破、民必歸余、皆屬我矣。

在以色列山岡、我使之合為一邦、為一王所治理、自此而後、不復為二國二民、

曰、爾亞捫人、宜聽我言、主耶和華曰、昔予之聖所被玷、以色列族荒蕪、猶大家盡被俘囚、爾見之則曰吁哉。

曰、上帝豈拒厥民乎、曰、非也、我乃以色列人、亞伯拉罕裔、便雅憫支派、上帝所預知之民、不拒之、豈不知經載以利亞龥上帝、訟以色列人云、主、彼殺爾先知、鋤爾祭壇、獨余留焉、又欲害我矣、默示何也、曰、我遺七千人、未嘗曲跽巴力、今猶有幾人、乃上帝垂恩遴選者、以恩則不以功、否、則恩不為恩、以功則不以恩、否、則功不為功、

主耶和華曰、敵云、亙古以來、有彼崇邱、今為我所得、豈不快哉、

既知其屬猶大族、意謂陷此一人、猶微事耳、將殲滅其眾於通國、俾無噍類。十二年正月、即尼散月、哈曼問於卜筮、何月吉、占得十二月、即亞達月。哈曼奏王曰、有一族之民、散處天下州邑、異律是從、不遵王命、容之無益。

爾當言以色列猶大必歸於我、我得其土、不知彼二國者、為我耶和華所眷祐、故我耶和華指己而誓、因爾娼嫉我民、銜憾無已、俾爾遭慘報、我必罰爾、而施恩我民、昔爾口出惡言、指以色列山云、彼既荒蕪、余必滅之、我聞斯言、必降以罰、俾知我乃耶和華。爾詡詡然自誇不已、違逆乎我、我已聞之矣。主耶和華曰、萬姓臚歡之際、必俾爾土、忽變荒蕪、以色列地既成荒邱、爾西耳山以東四境、靡不悅懌、故我使爾荒蕪、俾知我乃耶和華。

耶和華又曰、維爾郇邑、昔雖棄之如遺、無人眷顧、我必醫爾、使得痊可。

耶和華兮我為人藐視、亦已太甚、人享安居、常加凌侮、驕泰者流、亦虐遇余、願爾矜憫余、矜恤余兮。

謂我見絶於上帝、援手無人、可襲取兮。
