显而易见，这种每年一度的传统是巴比伦人那里开始的——他们对着神灵订下新年计划，为了讨宠而已。

Apparently, the Babylonians started this whole annual tradition - they made resolutions to the gods in order to curry favor with them.

大地战栗惶悚，因为上主正在进行攻巴比伦的计划，使巴比伦地成为无人居住的荒野。

And the land shall be in a commotion, and shall be troubled: for the design of the Lord against Babylon shall awake, to make the land of Babylon desert and uninhabitable.
