如其能任己愆、及前人之罪、自知差失、所行逆我、

“他们要承认自己的罪和他们祖宗的罪，就是干犯我的那罪，并且承认自己行事与我反对，

“他们要承认自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事与我作对的过犯。

“他们要承认自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事与我作对的过犯。

「他們要承認自己的罪和他們祖宗的罪，就是干犯我的那罪，並且承認自己行事與我反對，

「他們要承認自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事與我作對的過犯。

「他們要承認自己的罪孽和祖先的罪孽，就是背叛我，行事與我作對的過犯。

「如果他們承認自己和祖先的罪，就是背叛我、與我作對的惡行——

“那時他們就會承認自己的罪孽和他們祖先的罪孽，就是他們對我不忠的過犯，又承認因為行事與我的心意相違，

是時必承己愆、及前人之罪、自認所行逆我、

彼時必認己之罪、及其列祖之罪、即干我逆我以行之罪、

“‘ But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors— their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me,

“‘ But suppose you admit that both you and your people who lived before you have sinned. You admit the evil and dishonest things you have done against me. And you admit you have become my enemy.

“ But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me,

如爾民以色列族、犯罪於爾、為敵所敗、厥後心歸乎爾、虔向此殿、以祈禱呼籲爾名、則爾在天、俯聞其祈、赦宥爾民、導之至所錫列祖之地。如人獲罪於爾、使天閉塞、雨澤不降、至殿祈禱、呼籲爾名、緣遘患難、去厥罪愆、則爾在天、俯聞其聲、赦宥爾僕、即以色列族之民、指示以善、所錫之地、降以膏澤。

如在被虜之地、翻然易念、悔改前非、祈求於爾、自陳其過、以負咎戾、

我必棄斯民、而歸我所、迨其自陳己罪、求沾我恩、窘迫之際、竭力求予。彼必曰、耶和華既戕我、必醫痊我、既擊我、必彌縫我、莫若歸之、二三日之後、彼將甦我、使我復興、與之偕生。

汝猶不聽從我言、所行逆我、我必震怒、降罰於爾、督責爾罪、至於七倍、

約書亞告亞干曰、吾子宜尊耶和華、以色列之上帝、任過於其前、以所行告我、勿隱。

我自任厥過、不匿己非、禱耶和華、曰、我任罪於爾前、爾則赦宥兮、

我必降罰、督責爾罪、至於七倍、

爾追念曩時之惡行、為我所痛疾、則必自怨自艾。

與異邦人絕交、卓然自立、自任己過、及列祖愆尤。是日一時四刻、立於其次、誦上帝耶和華律例之書、又一時四刻、任罪崇拜上帝。利未人耶書亞、巴尼、甲滅、示巴尼、布尼、示哩比、巴尼、基拿尼、登臺大聲籲呼上帝耶和華。利未人耶書亞、甲滅、巴尼、哈沙尼、示哩比、和地雅、示巴尼、庇大希、曰、爾曹當立、頌讚爾之上帝耶和華、恆久弗已、上帝歟、爾名維顯、即使和聲頌讚、亦未足為榮。

然在遠方、爾如一心一意、求爾上帝耶和華、亦可得之、至於季世、爾遇艱辛、我所言之災、加乎爾身、斯時也、爾若歸爾上帝耶和華、而聽其命、則爾之上帝耶和華、甚為仁慈、必不棄爾、翦滅爾、與爾祖所立之盟約、亦不忘之。

我聞以法蓮哭曰、昔予如放逸之犢、爾督責予、而我受責、爾耶和華乃我之上帝、俾我悛改。我既悛改、悔於厥衷、我既受教、擊髀浩嘆、幼時已干罪戾、既長更負愆尤、含羞抱愧、無地可容。耶和華曰、以法蓮豈非我之赤子、我所眷愛者哉、予責之、輒生憐念、予矜憫為懷、復加以撫恤。

言於眾前曰、我昔犯罪、蹈於非義、所為無益、主援我、免於死亡、復睹光明。

當任其過有負於人、當償其物、加五分之一、歸於所負者。

爾往北方、揚聲播告曰、耶和華曰、爾以色列族背予、今當歸誠、蓋余矜憫為懷、不常蓄怒、必眷顧爾。我耶和華爾之上帝、爾違逆予、不遵我命、入諸茂林、崇事他上帝、今當任過。耶和華又曰、爾曹違逆之流、為我所棄、今當歸誠、我必納爾、於城邑中則簡一人、於支派中則簡二人、導至郇山。民牧若得我心者、我必立之、使以智慧、治理爾曹。

我禁食衣麻蒙灰、仰首禱告我主上帝、自陳罪戾、求我之上帝耶和華曰、至大之主上帝、深可畏懼、凡敬愛乎主、恪守律法、則爾矜憫之、必踐所言、我儕犯罪作惡、違爾律例、棄爾禮儀、爾臣僕諸先知、藉爾之名、告我王公祖父國民之語、我不聽從、主秉公義、惟我儕猶大人耶路撒冷居民、以色列族眾、無論遐邇、因犯罪愆、為爾驅逐、星散於四方、俱當含羞、今日之事為證。我與我王公列祖、獲罪乎主、必當抱愧蒙羞、我主我上帝矜憫為懷、恆加赦宥、我儕違逆、不遵我之上帝耶和華、不從爾臣僕諸先知訓我之律例、我以色列眾犯爾律法、不遵爾命、我既獲罪、故爾僕摩西律例所載之咒詛、臨於我躬、爾素責我、及我士師、必降大災、今已應矣、降罰耶路撒冷、較天下民尤嚴、摩西律例所載諸災、加乎我躬、我猶不禱告我上帝耶和華、未悛我前愆、未學爾真理、故耶和華專其心思、降災於我、蓋我之上帝耶和華、恆秉大公、見我不遵命、遂降禍患、我主上帝、昔用巨能、導爾民出埃及、爾名播揚、逮於今日、我儕獲罪於爾、我與我祖陷於罪戾、故耶路撒冷居民、為眾姍笑、今求我主、以恩賚我、息爾憤怒、不罰爾聖山耶路撒冷、我上帝之聖所荒蕪、求爾垂顧、以彰主榮、應僕所祈、我之上帝與、我儕祈禱、非為我義、乃為爾仁慈、求爾垂聽斯邑、為籲爾名之所、今已荒圯、爾其鑒察焉、斯邑斯民、皆屬上帝、望主垂聽、望主赦宥、望主助余勿緩、以彰爾榮、我自陳愆尤、並述以色列族之罪、為彼聖山、求我上帝耶和華、
