3:1 祸哉，这流人血的城！充满谎诈和强暴，抢夺的事总不止息。
Woe to the bloody city! She is all full of lies and pillage; The prey does not depart.
3:2 鞭声响亮，车轮轰轰；马匹快跑，车辆奔腾，
The sound of the whip, And the sound of the rattling wheel; And the horse galloping, And the chariot jolting by,
3:3 骑兵跃马，刀剑发光，枪矛闪烁；被杀的甚多，尸首成堆，尸骸无数，人碰着而跌倒。
The horseman making the horse to rear up, And the sword flashing, And the spear glittering; And a multitude of the slain, And a mass of corpses, And no end to the bodies-They stumble among their bodies.
3:4 都因那美貌的妓女，行邪术的主母，多有淫行，藉淫行出卖列国，用邪术出卖多族。
This because of the multitude of harlotries Of the well-favored harlot, The mistress of sorceries, Who sells nations by her harlotries And families by her sorceries.
3:5 万军之耶和华说，我与你为敌；我必揭起你的衣襟，蒙在你脸上，使列邦看见你的赤体，使列国看见你的羞耻。
Indeed I am against you, declares Jehovah of hosts; And I will throw open your skirts upon your face, And I will show the nations your nakedness, And the kingdoms your shame.
3:6 我必将可憎污秽之物抛在你身上，使你显为愚昧，为众目所观。
And I will cast abominable filth upon you And make you appear foolish and make you like a spectacle.
3:7 凡看见你的，都必逃跑离开你，说，尼尼微成了荒场。有谁为她悲伤呢？我何处寻得安慰你的人呢？
And everyone who sees you Will flee from you and say, Nineveh is laid waste. Who will lament for her? Where will I seek Some to comfort you?
3:8 你岂比挪亚们强么？挪亚们坐落在众河渠之间，周围有水；海作她的屏障，水作她的城墙。
Are you better than No-amon, Who sat beside the canals With waters all around her, Whose bulwark was the sea And water was her wall?
3:9 古实和埃及是她的力量，无穷无尽；弗人和路比族是她的帮手。
Cush was her strength, As well as Egypt, and it was without end; Put and the Libyans Were among her helpers.
3:10 但她还是被迁徙，被掳去；她的婴孩在各街头也被摔死；人为她的尊贵人拈阄；她所有的尊大者都被链子锁着。
She too was carried away; She went into captivity; Her little ones too were dashed to pieces At the head of every street, And for her nobles They cast lots, And all her great men Were bound in chains.
3:11 你也必喝醉，必被隐藏；并因仇敌的缘故寻求保障。
You too will be drunken; You will be hidden. You too will seek A stronghold from the enemy.
3:12 你一切保障必像无花果树上初熟的无花果；若一摇撼，就落在想吃之人的口中。
All your fortresses will be like fig trees With first ripe figs: If they are shaken, they will fall Into the mouth of the eater.
3:13 看哪，在你中间的人民，如同妇女；你国土的关口，向仇敌敞开；你的门闩，被火焚烧。
Indeed your people are like women In the midst of you; Unto your enemies the gates of your land Are wide open; Fire devours your bars.
3:14 你要为自己打水，预备受困！巩固你的保障！踹土和泥！预备砖窑！
Draw for yourself water for the siege! Strengthen your fortresses! Go into the clay, And tread in the mortar! Make the brick kiln ready!
3:15 在那里火必烧灭你；刀必除灭你，吞吃你如同蝗虫。任你加增人数如蝗虫，加增人数多如蝗虫罢。
There will the fire devour you; The sword will cut you off; It will devour you like the locust. Enlarge yourself like the locust; Enlarge yourself like the locust swarm.
3:16 你增添商贾，多过天上的星；蝗虫吃尽就飞去。
You have multiplied your merchants Like the stars of heaven; The locust strips everything and flies away.
3:17 你的首领多如蝗虫，你的军长仿佛成群的蝗虫，天凉的时候，齐落在篱笆上，日头一出便都飞去，不知道落在何处。
Your princes are like the locust swarm, And your officials are like hordes of locusts, Which camp in the hedges On a cold day, But when the sun arises, they flee away, And the place where they are is unknown.
3:18 亚述王阿，你的牧人打盹，你的贵胄安歇；你的人民散在山间，无人招聚。
Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; Your nobles sleep. Your people are scattered upon the mountains, And there is no one to gather them.
3:19 你的损伤无法医治，你的创伤极其严重。凡听见你消息的，必都向你拍掌；因为你所行的恶，谁没有时常遭遇呢？
There is no alleviating of your injury; Your wound is grievous. All who hear the report of you Clap their hands over you; For upon whom has your wickedness Not passed continually?
