2 you town so full of commotion,

you city of tumult and revelry?

Your slain were not killed by the sword,

nor did they die in battle.

2 you who are full of shoutings,

tumultuous city, exultant town?

Your slain are not slain with the sword

or dead in battle.

2 Thou that art full of stirs,

A tumultuous city, a joyous city:

Thy slain men are not slain with the sword,

Nor dead in battle.

2 The whole city is in a terrible uproar.

What do I see in this reveling city?

Bodies are lying everywhere,

killed not in battle but by famine and disease.

2 This city was a very busy city,

full of noise and wild parties.

Now your people have been killed,

but not with swords,

nor did they die in battle.

2 O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.

2 Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

2 You are a city filled with shouting, 

a town filled with noise and excitement. 

Your people weren’t killed with swords. 

Your dead didn’t die in battle. 

2 The noisy city, the jubilant town,

is filled with revelry.

Your dead did not die by the sword;

they were not killed in battle.

2 you that are full of shoutings,

tumultuous city, exultant town?

Your slain are not slain by the sword,

nor are they dead in battle.

2 noisy, tumultuous city,

exultant town?

Your slain are not slain by the sword,

nor are they dead from battle.

2 Why is your town so full of noise?

Why is your city so full of the sound of wild parties?

Those among you who died weren’t killed with swords.

They didn’t die in battle.

2 You who were full of noise,

You boisterous town, you exultant city;

Your slain were not slain with the sword,

Nor did they die in battle.
