Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

2:1

συνάχθητε καὶ συνδέθητε τὸ ἔθνος τὸ ἀπαίδευτον

Gather yourselves together and bind yourselves together, O undisciplined nation,

不受管教的國民哪，你們要聚集，要聯結在一起，

2:2

πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι ὑμᾶς ὡς ἄνθος παραπορευόμενον πρὸ τοῦ ἐπελθεῖν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ὀργὴν κυρίου πρὸ τοῦ ἐπελθεῖν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἡμέραν θυμοῦ κυρίου

before you become like a flower that passes away, before the wrath of the Lord comes upon you, before the day of the Lord's fury comes upon you.

趁你們還沒有變成像一朵飄過的花，趁主的忿怒還沒有臨到你們，趁主烈怒的日子還沒有臨到你們。

2:3

ζητήσατε τὸν κύριον πάντες ταπεινοὶ γῆς κρίμα ἐργάζεσθε καὶ δικαιοσύνην ζητήσατε καὶ ἀποκρίνεσθε αὐτά ὅπως σκεπασθῆτε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς κυρίου

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth; work justice and seek righteousness, and answer with these things, so that you may be sheltered in the day of the Lord's wrath.

地上一切卑微的人哪，你們要尋求主；要行公義，要尋求公正，並要以這些話回答，好使你們在主發怒的日子得蒙遮蔽。

2:4

διότι Γάζα διηρπασμένη ἔσται καὶ Ἀσκαλὼν ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμόν καὶ Ἄζωτος μεσημβρίας ἐκριφήσεται καὶ Ακκαρων ἐκριζωθήσεται

For Gaza shall be plundered, and Ascalon shall become a desolation; Azotus shall be cast out at midday, and Akkaron shall be uprooted.

因為迦薩必被劫掠，亞實基倫必成為荒場；亞實突必在正午被趕出，以革倫必被連根拔起。

2:5

οὐαὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὸ σχοίνισμα τῆς θαλάσσης πάροικοι Κρητῶν λόγος κυρίου ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς Χανααν γῆ ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἀπολῶ ὑμᾶς ἐκ κατοικίας

Woe to you who inhabit the measured land by the sea, you sojourners of the Cretans! The word of the Lord is against you: Canaan, land of the Philistines, I will destroy you so that no one dwells there.

住在海邊一帶地方的人哪，你們有禍了，你們是克里特人的寄居者！主的話攻擊你們：迦南哪，非利士人之地啊，我必毀滅你，使你無人居住。

2:6

καὶ ἔσται Κρήτη νομὴ ποιμνίων καὶ μάνδρα προβάτων

And Crete shall become a pasture for flocks and a fold for sheep.

克里特必成為牧放羊群之地，成為羊圈。

2:7

καὶ ἔσται τὸ σχοίνισμα τῆς θαλάσσης τοῖς καταλοίποις οἴκου Ιουδα ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς νεμήσονται ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις Ἀσκαλῶνος δείλης καταλύσουσιν ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ιουδα ὅτι ἐπέσκεπται αὐτοὺς κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπέστρεψε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτῶν

And the coastland by the sea shall belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; on it they shall pasture, and in the evening they shall rest in the houses of Ascalon, away from before the sons of Judah, for the Lord their God has visited them and has turned back their captivity.

海邊一帶的地方必歸給猶大家剩下的人；他們必在那裡放牧，傍晚必從猶大子孫面前，在亞實基倫的房屋中歇息；因為主他們的神已眷顧了他們，也已使他們被擄的人歸回。

2:8

ἤκουσα ὀνειδισμοὺς Μωαβ καὶ κονδυλισμοὺς υἱῶν Αμμων ἐν οἷς ὠνείδιζον τὸν λαόν μου καὶ ἐμεγαλύνοντο ἐπὶ τὰ ὅριά μου

I have heard the reproaches of Moab and the revilings of the sons of Ammon, with which they reproached my people and magnified themselves against my borders.

我聽見了摩押的辱罵和亞捫人的譏刺，他們用這些辱罵我的百姓，又在我的境界上自誇自大。

2:9

διὰ τοῦτο ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ διότι Μωαβ ὡς Σοδομα ἔσται καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων ὡς Γομορρα καὶ Δαμασκὸς ἐκλελειμμένη ὡς θιμωνιὰ ἅλωνος καὶ ἠφανισμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι λαοῦ μου διαρπῶνται αὐτούς καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἔθνους μου κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτούς

Therefore, as I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be like Sodom and the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah, and Damascus left like a heap on a threshing floor and obliterated forever; and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them.

因此，萬軍之主以色列的神說：我指著我的永生起誓，摩押必像所多瑪，亞捫人必像蛾摩拉，大馬士革必被撇下如同禾場上的糞堆，永遠荒廢；我百姓中剩下的人必擄掠他們，我國民中餘剩的人必得他們為業。
