9:1

εἶδον τὸν κύριον ἐφεστῶτα ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ εἶπεν πάταξον ἐπὶ τὸ ἱλαστήριον καὶ σεισθήσεται τὰ πρόπυλα καὶ διάκοψον εἰς κεφαλὰς πάντων καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀποκτενῶ οὐ μὴ διαφύγῃ ἐξ αὐτῶν φεύγων καὶ οὐ μὴ διασωθῇ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀνασῳζόμενος

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the mercy seat, and the porches shall be shaken; and cut through into the heads of them all. And the rest of them I will kill with the sword; not one of them who flees shall get away, and not one of them who escapes shall be saved.

我看見主站在祭壇之上。他說：擊打施恩座，門廊就必震動；要砍入眾人的頭中。他們中間所剩下的，我必用刀殺戮；他們中間逃跑的，斷不能逃脫；他們中間脫逃的，斷不能得救。

9:2

ἐὰν κατορυγῶσιν εἰς ᾅδου ἐκεῖθεν ἡ χείρ μου ἀνασπάσει αὐτούς καὶ ἐὰν ἀναβῶσιν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν ἐκεῖθεν κατάξω αὐτούς

If they dig themselves down into Hades, from there my hand shall drag them up; and if they go up into heaven, from there I will bring them down.

他們即使埋身下到陰間，我的手必從那裡把他們拉上來；他們即使升到天上，我必從那裡把他們帶下來。

9:3

ἐὰν ἐγκρυβῶσιν εἰς τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ Καρμήλου ἐκεῖθεν ἐξερευνήσω καὶ λήμψομαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐὰν καταδύσωσιν ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν μου εἰς τὰ βάθη τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκεῖ ἐντελοῦμαι τῷ δράκοντι καὶ δήξεται αὐτούς

If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, from there I will search them out and take them; and if they dive down out of my sight into the depths of the sea, there I will command the dragon, and it shall bite them.

他們即使藏在迦密山頂，我必從那裡搜出來拿住他們；他們即使從我眼前潛入海的深處，我必在那裡吩咐那龍咬他們。

9:4

καὶ ἐὰν πορευθῶσιν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πρὸ προσώπου τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ ἐντελοῦμαι τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ αὐτούς καὶ στηριῶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά

And if they go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them; and I will fix my eyes upon them for evil and not for good.

他們即使在仇敵面前被擄而去，我必在那裡吩咐刀劍殺戮他們。我必定睛看著他們，降禍不降福。

9:5

καὶ κύριος κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁ ἐφαπτόμενος τῆς γῆς καὶ σαλεύων αὐτήν καὶ πενθήσουσιν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτήν καὶ ἀναβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς συντέλεια αὐτῆς καὶ καταβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς Αἰγύπτου

And the Lord, the Lord God the Almighty — he who touches the earth and makes it shake, and all who dwell in it shall mourn; and its consummation shall rise like a river, and shall go down like the river of Egypt.

主，全能者主神，他摸著地，地就搖動，住在其上的都必悲哀；地的結局必如河水漲起，又必如埃及的河落下。

9:6

ὁ οἰκοδομῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνάβασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς θεμελιῶν ὁ προσκαλούμενος τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐκχέων αὐτὸ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ

He who builds his ascent into heaven, and founds his promise upon the earth; who calls for the water of the sea and pours it out upon the face of the earth — the Lord God the Almighty is his name.

他在天上建造他上行的階梯，又在地上立定他的應許；他呼喚海水，將水傾倒在地面上——主神，全能者，是他的名。

9:7

οὐχ ὡς υἱοὶ Αἰθιόπων ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐμοί υἱοὶ Ισραηλ λέγει κύριος οὐ τὸν Ισραηλ ἀνήγαγον ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐκ Καππαδοκίας καὶ τοὺς Σύρους ἐκ βόθρου

Are you not to me like the sons of the Ethiopians, O sons of Israel? says the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the foreigners out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of a pit?

主說，以色列人哪，你們在我看來，豈不像埃塞俄比亞人的子孫嗎？我豈不是領以色列從埃及地上來，領外族人從加帕多家上來，領敘利亞人從坑裡上來嗎？

9:8

ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ ἐξαρῶ αὐτὴν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς πλὴν ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐξαρῶ τὸν οἶκον Ιακωβ λέγει κύριος

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will remove it from the face of the earth — except that I will not utterly remove the house of Jacob, says the Lord.

看哪，主神的眼目察看這罪人的國，我必將它從地面上除去；只是我不將雅各家除滅淨盡。這是主說的。

9:9

διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι καὶ λικμιῶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ισραηλ ὃν τρόπον λικμᾶται ἐν τῷ λικμῷ καὶ οὐ μὴ πέσῃ σύντριμμα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

For behold, I give the command, and I will winnow the house of Israel among all the nations, just as one is winnowed with a winnowing fan; and not a fragment shall fall upon the ground.

因為看哪，我要發命，將以色列家在萬國中簸揚，好像人用簸箕簸揚一樣，連一塊碎渣也不落在地上。
