| 5:1 | 成群的民哪、〔民原文作女子〕現在你要聚集成隊.因為仇敵圍攻我們、要用杖擊打以色列審判者的臉。 | Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. |
| 5:2 | 伯利恆以法他阿、你在猶大諸城中為小、將來必有一位從你那裏出來、在以色列中為我作掌權的.他的根源從亙古、從太初就有。 | But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. |
| 5:3 | 耶和華必將以色列人交付敵人、直等那生產的婦人生下子來.那時掌權者〔原文作他〕其餘的弟兄必歸到以色列人那裏。 | Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. |
| 5:4 | 他必起來、倚靠耶和華的大能、並耶和華他 神之名的威嚴、牧養他的羊群.他們要安然居住.因為他必日見尊大、直到地極。 | And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. |
| 5:5 | 這位必作我們的平安。當亞述人進入我們的地境踐踏宮殿的時候、我們就立起七個牧者、八個首領攻擊他。 | And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. |
| 5:6 | 他們必用刀劍毀壞亞述地和寧錄地的關口.亞述人進入我們的地境踐踏的時候、他必拯救我們。 | And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. |
| 5:7 | 雅各餘剩的人必在多國的民中、如從耶和華那裏降下的露水、又如甘霖降在草上.不仗賴人力、也不等候世人之功。 | And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. |
| 5:8 | 雅各餘剩的人必在多國多民中、如林間百獸中的獅子、又如少壯獅子在羊群中。他若經過就必踐踏撕裂、無人搭救。 | And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. |
| 5:9 | 願你的手舉起、高過敵人。願你的仇敵都被剪除。 | Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off. |
| 5:10 | 耶和華說、到那日、我必從你中間剪除馬匹、毀壞車輛、 | And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots: |
| 5:11 | 也必從你國中除滅城邑、拆毀一切的保障、 | And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds: |
| 5:12 | 又必除掉你手中的邪術.你那裏也不再有占卜的。 | And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: |
| 5:13 | 我必從你中間除滅雕刻的偶像和柱像、你就不再跪拜自己手所造的。 | Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. |
| 5:14 | 我必從你中間拔出木偶、又毀滅你的城邑。 | And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. |
| 5:15 | 我也必在怒氣和忿怒中向那不聽從的列國施報。 | And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. |
