If only,

しかしお前には見えない

on this your day you had known

やがてお前の敵が

the path for peace, but you have failed to see it.

お前に対して塁を築き 四方から攻め寄せるだろう

The days will come when your enemies,

そしてお前と子供たちは 地に叩きつけられ

will build ramparts to surround you

石が一つも積まれたままに 残らない――

and hem you in pressing hard from every side,

お前が神の訪れの時を 知らなかったからだ

and within these walls they will destroy you.

You and your children,

and they will not leave one stone upon another in you,

because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.
