唉！
Ah, land of whirring wings that is beyond the rivers of Cush,
唉！
Ah, land of whirring wings that is beyond the rivers of Cush,
差遣使者在水面上，坐蒲草船過海。先知說：你們快行的使者，要到高大光滑的民那裏去。自從開國以來，那民極其可畏，是分地界踐踏人的；他們的地有江河分開。
which sends ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters! Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide.
世上一切的居民和地上所住的人哪，山上豎立大旗的時候你們要看；吹角的時候你們要聽。
All you inhabitants of the world, you who dwell on the earth, when a signal is raised on the mountains, look! When a trumpet is blown, hear!
耶和華對我這樣說：我要安靜，在我的居所觀看，如同日光中的清熱，又如露水的雲霧在收割的熱天。
For thus the LORD said to me: “I will quietly look from my dwelling like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
收割之先，花開已謝，花也成了將熟的葡萄；他必用鐮刀削去嫩枝，又砍掉蔓延的枝條，
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks, and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away.
都要撇給山間的鷙鳥和地上的野獸。夏天，鷙鳥要宿在其上；冬天，野獸都臥在其中。
They shall all of them be left to the birds of prey of the mountains and to the beasts of the earth. And the birds of prey will summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
到那時，這高大光滑的民，就是從開國以來極其可畏、分地界踐踏人的，他們的地有江河分開；他們必將禮物奉給萬軍之耶和華，就是奉到
At that time tribute will be brought to the LORD of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide, to Mount Zion, the place of the name of the LORD of hosts.
