因为你必折断他们负的轭和欺压者的棍棒，好像昔日你毁灭米甸人一样；

因为他们所负的重轭和肩头上的杖，并欺压他们人的棍，你都已经折断，好像在米甸的日子一样。

因为他们所负的重轭和肩头上的杖，并欺压者的棍，你都已经折断，如同在米甸的日子一般。

因为他们所负的轭和他们肩上的杖，以及压迫他们之人的棍，你把它们都折断了，就像你在米甸之日所做的。

因其負重之軛、撻背之杖、暴者之梃、爾已折之、若於米甸之日、

昔米田人虐遇斯民、負以重軛、加以鞭扑、爾拯救之、折其杖箠、迄於今、亦若是、

蓋民所負之重軛、所加於其肩之任、並督之之杖、主悉折斷、如罰米甸之日、

For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.

You set Israel free from Midian long ago. In the same way, you will break the heavy yoke that weighs Israel down. You will break the wooden beams that are on their shoulders. You will break the rods of those who strike them down.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.

For you will break the yoke of their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. You will break the oppressor’s rod, just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian.

For you have shattered their oppressive yoke and the rod on their shoulders, the staff of their oppressor, just as you did on the day of Midian.

For You will break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

For You have broken the yoke of his burden And the staff of his shoulder, The rod of his oppressor, As in the day of Midian.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.

For You have shattered their oppressive yoke and the rod on their shoulders, the staff of their oppressor, just as You did on the day of Midian.

For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

For their oppressive yoke and the club that strikes their shoulders, the cudgel the oppressor uses on them, you have shattered, as in the day of Midian’s defeat.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

我必在我的土地上击垮亚述人，在我的山上践踏他们，除去他们加在我子民身上的轭和重担。

万军之耶和华要鞭打他们，就像在俄立磐石击杀米甸人，就像祂向海伸杖，使海水淹没埃及人。到那日，祂必除去亚述人加在你们肩头的重担和颈上的轭；那轭必因你们肥壮而折断。

现在我要打碎他们套在你们颈项上的轭，松开你们身上的锁链。”

你必因公义而坚立，再不会受欺压，也不会担惊受怕，因为恐惧不会临近你。

那时，西巴和撒慕拿率领东方各族的残余军队一万五千人驻扎在加各，因为已经有十二万刀兵被杀。基甸取道挪巴和约比哈东边游牧者走的路，出其不意地突袭米甸人。米甸二王西巴和撒慕拿逃跑，基甸追上去擒住他们，击溃他们全军。

万军之耶和华说：“那日，我要折断他们颈上的轭，砍断他们的锁链，使他们不再受外族人奴役。

亚述人听见耶和华的声音必心惊胆战，祂必用杖击打他们。耶和华的刑杖每责打他们一下，祂的子民必击鼓弹琴。祂必在战场上挥手击打他们。

耶和华使他们脱离痛苦、悲伤和残酷奴役的时候，他们必这样讥笑巴比伦王：“暴君灭亡了！暴政结束了！耶和华折断了邪恶君主的权杖。

我要使那些欺压你的人吞吃自己的肉，喝自己的血喝得酩酊大醉，好像喝酒一样。那时候，世人都必知道我耶和华是你的救主，是你的救赎主，是雅各的大能者。”

恶人必不能长久统治义人的土地，免得义人也去行恶。

我是你们的上帝耶和华。我曾带领你们离开埃及，使你们不再做埃及人的奴隶。我打碎了压在你们身上的重轭，使你们能昂首挺胸、扬眉吐气。

你必倚靠刀剑生活，又必服侍你的弟弟。到你无法忍受的时候，你必挣脱颈上的重轭。”

求你对付他们，如同对付米甸人和基顺河边的西西拉与耶宾。他们在隐·多珥灭亡，成了地上的粪土。求你使他们的首领得到俄立和西伊伯那样的下场，使他们的王侯得到西巴和撒慕拿那样的下场。

后来，以色列人又做耶和华视为恶的事，耶和华就把他们交在米甸人手中，受他们统治七年。米甸人势力强盛，以色列人只好躲进山里，藏在洞穴和营寨中。每当他们撒种的时候，米甸人、亚玛力人及东方人就前来进犯，在他们境内安营，摧毁他们远至迦萨一带的庄稼，不给他们留下任何粮食，也不留下一只羊、一头牛或驴。入侵者带着牲畜和帐篷像蝗虫一样涌来，人和骆驼不计其数，摧毁了整个地区。以色列人因米甸人的入侵而极其贫乏，就呼求耶和华。

基甸的三百人一起吹响号角时，耶和华使米甸人自相残杀。他们逃往西利拉的伯·哈示他，一直逃到靠近他巴的亚伯·米何拉的边境。基甸号召拿弗他利、亚设和玛拿西的以色列人追杀米甸败军，又派人到整个以法莲山区，吩咐当地人攻打米甸人，占据远至伯·巴拉一带的约旦河渡口。以法莲人都依言而行，还生擒了米甸人的两名首领俄立和西伊伯。他们在俄立磐石上杀死了俄立，在西伊伯榨酒池杀了西伊伯。他们继续追杀米甸人，并带着俄立和西伊伯的人头穿过约旦河，交给基甸。

耶和华说：“亚述王有祸了！他是我的愤怒之棍，他手中拿着我发烈怒的杖。

我曾向我的子民发怒，让我的产业被玷污，把他们交在你手中。你对他们毫不留情，甚至让老人负极重的轭。

难道你忘记了创造你、铺展穹苍、奠立大地根基的耶和华吗？难道因为试图毁灭你的欺压者大发怒气，你就整天惊恐不安吗？他们的怒气如今在哪里呢？
