“They camefirst for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up

In Germany, they first came for the Communists,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me，
but by that time， there was no one left to speak up.

THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,

　　and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’ t a Communist.

　　THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,

　　and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’ t a Jew.

　　THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,

　　and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’ t a trade unionist.

　　THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,

　　and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.

　　THEN THEY CAME for me,

　　and by that time no one was left to speak up.

　　――Pastor Martin Niemoeller

　　

　　起初他们追杀

　　共产主义者，

　　我不是共产主义者，

　　我不说话；

　　接着他们追杀

　　犹太人，

　　我不是犹太人

　　我不说话；

　　后来他们追杀

　　工会成员，

　　我不是工会成员，

　　我不说话；

　　最后，他们奔我而来，

　　再也没有人起来为我说话了。
