起初他們追殺***產主義者,我沒有說話──因為我不是***產主義者;
They came first for the socialists,and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.
接著他們追殺猶太人,我沒有說話──因為我不是猶太人;
Then they came for the Jews,and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
後來他們追殺工會成員,我沒有說話──因為我不是工會成員;
Then they came for the trade unionists,and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
此後他們追殺天主教徒,我沒有說話──因為我是新教教徒;
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
最後他們奔我而來,
Then they came for me,
卻再也沒有人站起來為我說話了。
there was no one left to speak out.
