3:1

Vae provocatrix, et redempta civitas, columba !

Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!

這悖逆、污穢、欺壓的城有禍了！

3:2

non audivit vocem, et non suscepit disciplinam ; in Domino non est confisa, ad Deum suum non appropinquavit.

She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.

她不聽從命令，不領受訓誨，不倚靠耶和華，不親近她的上帝。

3:3

Principes ejus in medio ejus quasi leones rugientes ; judices ejus lupi vespere, non relinquebant in mane.

Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.

她中間的首領是咆哮的獅子；她的審判官是晚上的豺狼，一點食物也不留到早晨。

3:4

Prophetae ejus vesani, viri infideles ; sacerdotes ejus polluerunt sanctum, injuste egerunt contra legem.

Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.

她的先知是虛浮詭詐的人；她的祭司褻瀆聖所，強解律法。

3:5

Dominus justus in medio ejus non faciet iniquitatem ; mane, mane judicium suum dabit in lucem, et non abscondetur ; nescivit autem iniquus confusionem.

Yahweh, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.

耶和華在她中間是公義的，斷不做非義的事，每早晨顯明他的公義，無日不然；只是不義的人不知羞恥。

3:6

Disperdidi gentes, et dissipati sunt anguli earum ; desertas feci vias eorum, dum non est qui transeat ; desolatae sunt civitates eorum, non remanente viro, neque ullo habitatore.

I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.

我－耶和華已經除滅列國的民；他們的城樓毀壞。我使他們的街道荒涼，以致無人經過；他們的城邑毀滅，以致無人，也無居民。

3:7

Dixi : Attamen timebis me, suscipies disciplinam ; et non peribit habitaculum ejus, propter omnia in quibus visitavi eam : verumtamen diluculo surgentes corruperunt omnes cogitationes suas.

I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction,” so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.

我說：你只要敬畏我，領受訓誨；如此，你的住處不致照我所擬定的除滅。只是你們從早起來就在一切事上敗壞自己。

3:8

Quapropter exspecta me, dicit Dominus, in die resurrectionis meae in futurum : quia judicium meum ut congregem gentes, et colligam regna, et effundam super eos indignationem meam, omnem iram furoris mei : in igne enim zeli mei devorabitur omnis terra.

“Therefore wait for me”, says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

耶和華說：你們要等候我，直到我興起擄掠的日子；因為我已定意招聚列國，聚集列邦，將我的惱怒－就是我的烈怒都傾在她們身上。我的忿怒如火，必燒滅全地。

3:9

Quia tunc reddam populis labium electum, ut invocent omnes in nomine Domini, et serviant ei humero uno.

For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on Yahweh’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.

那時，我必使萬民用清潔的言語好求告我－耶和華的名，同心合意地事奉我。
