巴比伦城

将要被灭的巴比伦城阿（城原文是女子），报复你像你待我们的，那人便为有福。

O daughter of Babylon , who art to be destroyed ; happy shall he be , that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us .

尽管在尼布甲尼撒时期存留下的各种书写板上发现了对他的宫殿、巴比伦城以及巴比伦的城墙的种种描述，但这些书写板上却没有一处提到过空中花园。

Tablets from the time of Nebuchadnezzar do not have a single reference to the Hanging Gardens , although descriptions of his palace , the city of Babylon , and the walls are found .

万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说，巴比伦城好像踹谷的禾场。再过片时，收割她的时候就到了。

For these are the words of the Lord of armies , the God of israel : the daughter of Babylon is like a grain-floor when it is stamped down ; before long , the time of her grain-cutting will come .

因怕她的痛苦，就远远地站着说，哀哉，哀哉，巴比伦大城，坚固的城阿，一时之间你的刑罚就来到了。

Watching from far away , for fear of her punishment , saying , sorrow , sorrow for babylon , the great town , the strong town ! For in one hour you have been judged .

那大城裂为三段，列国的城也都倒塌了；神也想起巴比伦大城来，要把那盛自己烈怒的酒杯递给他。

The great city was split into three parts , and the cities of the nations fell , and God remembered Babylon the great , to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath .

他大声喊着说，巴比伦大城倾倒了，倾倒了，成了鬼魔的住处，和各样污秽之灵的巢穴，并各样污秽可憎之雀鸟的巢穴。

And he gave a loud cry , saying , Babylon the great has come down from her high place , she has come to destruction and has become a place of evil spirits , and of every unclean spirit , and a hole for every unclean and hated bird .

通报的要彼此相遇，送信的要互相迎接，报告巴比伦王说，城的四方被攻取了

One post shall run to meet another , and one messenger to meet another , to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end
