Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robberies; the prey departeth not;
禍哉! 血債的城，滿城欺詐，處處劫掠，搶奪不息。
2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the bounding chariots.
聽皮鞭颼颼，車輪隆隆，戰馬奔馳，戰車疾駛，
3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword, and the glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and [there is] no end of [their] corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
騎士躍馬，刀劍晃亮，槍矛閃輝，被殺者眾，死者成堆，屍體無邊，人人為屍體絆倒：
4 Because of the multitude of the lewd deeds of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her lewd deeds, and families through her witchcrafts.
這都是因那嬌艷妖冶的淫婦，行妖術的女巫的許多淫行所致。她以淫蕩欺騙了列邦，用妖術迷惑了萬民。
5 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will remove thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
看，我必攻擊你，──萬軍上主的斷語──我必將妳的衣裙掀到妳的臉上，使萬民見到妳的裸體，使列邦看到妳的恥辱：
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.
我必要將糞溺拋在妳身上侮辱妳，使妳成為鑑戒。
7 And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her; whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
凡看見妳的，必逃避妳說：「尼尼微終於毀滅了! 」誰會向妳表同情﹖我從哪裏能找到安慰妳人﹖
8 Art thou better than populous No, that was situated among the rivers, [that had] the waters around it, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
妳哪裏能勝過那位於尼羅上，四面環水的諾阿孟。妳有海洋為屏障，有水為垣牆；
9 Cush and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
雇士和埃及是好的力量，力大無窮；普特和利比亞是好的助1 ；
10 Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
但是好也被擄去，充當俘虜，好的嬰兒也在各街頭被摔死，人抽籤分配好的貴族，用鐵鏈縛住她的縉紳。
11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
妳也要這樣被攻破而消失，妳也要一個安全處為逃避仇敵。
12 All thy strong holds [shall be like] fig-trees with the first ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
好的一切堡壘好像早熟的無花果樹，人一搖動，就落在姇食者的口裏。
13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee [are] women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
看哪! 在妳中間的百姓都是婦女，妳境內的門已為妳的敵人敞開，火已燒毀了妳的門閂。
14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.
妳應吸水防備圍困，應鞏固妳的堡壘，踏黏土，踩膠泥，緊握磚型。
15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the canker-worm: make thyself many as the canker-worm, make thyself many as the locusts.
火要在那裏燒滅妳，刀劍要殲滅妳， [把妳吞食有如蚱蜢。] 妳盡可增多妳的人數有如蚱蜢，多如飛蝗；
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm spoileth, and flieth away.
增加妳的商賈，多過天上的星辰! ──蚱蜢一脫殼就飛去了。
17 Thy crowned [are] as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which settle in the hedges in the cold day, [but] when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they [are].
妳的守衛正如蝗蟲，妳的官吏正像一群蚱蜢；冷天蟄伏在牆上，但太陽一昇起，就飛去了，沒有人知道牠們究在何處。
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell [in the dust]: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth [them].
亞述王! 你的牧者已酣睡，你的貴族已永眠，你的人民已散在各山上，無人再能聚集。
19 [There is] no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the fame of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
你的瘡痍無法治療，你的創傷是致命傷。凡聽到你這消息的，都朝你鼓掌，因為有誰沒有時常受你虐待﹖
