A (A)harsh vision has been shown to me;
The (B)treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, (C)Elam, lay siege, Media;
I have put an end to all [a]the groaning she has caused.
For this reason my (D)loins are full of anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a (E)woman in labor.
I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
My [b]mind reels, [c]horror overwhelms me;
The twilight I longed for has been (F)turned into trembling for me.

A dire(A) vision has been shown to me:
    The traitor betrays,(B) the looter takes loot.
Elam,(C) attack! Media,(D) lay siege!
    I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.

At this my body is racked with pain,(E)
    pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor;(F)
I am staggered by what I hear,
    I am bewildered(G) by what I see.
My heart(H) falters,
    fear makes me tremble;(I)
the twilight I longed for
    has become a horror(J) to me.

A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
