1Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.
1看哪，必有一王憑公義行政；必有首領藉公平掌權。
2Each will be like a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.
2必有一人像避風所和避暴雨的隱密處，又像河流在乾旱之地，像大磐石的影子在疲乏之地。
3Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.
3那能看的人，眼不再昏迷；能聽的人，耳必得聽聞。
4The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
4冒失人的心必明白知識；結巴人的舌必說話通快。
5No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of [as] generous.
5愚頑人不再稱為高明，吝嗇人不再稱為大方。
6For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
6因為愚頑人必說愚頑話，心裡想作罪孽，慣行褻瀆的事，說錯謬的話攻擊耶和華，使飢餓的人無食可吃，使口渴的人無水可喝。
7As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; He devises wicked schemes To destroy [the] afflicted with slander, Even though [the] needy one speaks what is right.
7吝嗇人所用的法子是惡的；他圖謀惡計，用謊言毀滅謙卑人；窮乏人講公理的時候，他也是這樣行。
8But the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands.
8高明人卻謀高明事，在高明事上也必永存。
9Rise up, you women who are at ease, [And] hear my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters.
9安逸的婦女啊，起來聽我的聲音！無慮的女子啊，側耳聽我的言語！
10Within a year and [a few] days You will be troubled, O complacent [daughters]; For the vintage is ended, [And] the [fruit] gathering will not come.
10無慮的女子啊，再過一年多，必受騷擾；因為無葡萄可摘，無果子（或譯：禾稼）可收。
11Tremble, you [women] who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent [daughters]; Strip, undress and put [sackcloth] on [your] waist,
11安逸的婦女啊，要戰兢；無慮的女子啊，要受騷擾。脫去衣服，赤著身體，腰束麻布。
12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
12他們必為美好的田地和多結果的葡萄樹，搥胸哀哭。
13For the land of my people [in which] thorns [and] briars shall come up; Yea, for all the joyful houses [and for] the jubilant city.
13荊棘蒺藜必長在我百姓的地上，又長在歡樂的城中和一切快樂的房屋上。
14Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken. Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever, A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
14因為宮殿必被撇下，多民的城必被離棄；山岡望樓永為洞穴，作野驢所喜樂的，為羊群的草場。
15Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fertile field, And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
15等到聖靈從上澆灌我們，曠野就變為肥田，肥田看如樹林。
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.
16那時，公平要居在曠野；公義要居在肥田。
17And the work of righteousness will be peace, And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
17公義的果效必是平安；公義的效驗必是平穩，直到永遠。
18Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation, And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;
18我的百姓必住在平安的居所，安穩的住處，平靜的安歇所。
19And it will hail when the forest comes down, And the city will be utterly laid low.
19（但要降冰雹打倒樹林；城必全然拆平。）
20How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters, Who let out freely the ox and the donkey.
20你們在各水邊撒種、牧放牛驢的有福了！
