Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robberies; the prey departeth not;
禍哉！這流人血的城， 充滿謊詐和強暴－ 搶奪的事總不止息。
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.
鞭聲響亮，車輪轟轟， 馬匹踢跳，車輛奔騰，
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:
馬兵爭先，刀劍發光， 槍矛閃爍，被殺的甚多， 屍首成了大堆， 屍骸無數，人碰着而跌倒，
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.
都因那美貌的妓女多有淫行， 慣行邪術，藉淫行誘惑列國， 用邪術誘惑多族。
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.
萬軍之耶和華說：我與你為敵； 我必揭起你的衣襟，蒙在你臉上， 使列國看見你的赤體， 使列邦觀看你的醜陋。
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.
我必將可憎污穢之物拋在你身上， 辱沒你，為眾目所觀。
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?
凡看見你的，都必逃跑離開你， 說：尼尼微荒涼了！有誰為你悲傷呢？ 我何處尋得安慰你的人呢？
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?
你豈比挪亞們強呢？ 挪亞們坐落在眾河之間，周圍有水； 海作她的濠溝， 又作她的城牆。
9 Cush and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
古實和埃及是她無窮的力量； 弗人和路比族是她的幫手。
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.
但她被遷移，被擄去； 她的嬰孩在各市口上也被摔死。 人為她的尊貴人拈鬮； 她所有的大人都被鍊子鎖着。
11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
你也必喝醉，必被埋藏， 並因仇敵的緣故尋求避難所。
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.
你一切保障必像無花果樹上初熟的無花果， 若一搖撼就落在想吃之人的口中。
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.
你地上的人民如同婦女； 你國中的關口向仇敵敞開； 你的門閂被火焚燒。
14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.
你要打水預備受困； 要堅固你的保障， 踹土和泥，修補磚窯。
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.
在那裏，火必燒滅你； 刀必殺戮你， 吞滅你如同蝻子。 任你加增人數多如蝻子， 多如蝗蟲吧！
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm spoileth, and flieth away.
你增添商賈，多過天上的星； 蝻子吃盡而去。
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].
你的首領多如蝗蟲； 你的軍長彷彿成群的螞蚱， 天涼的時候齊落在籬笆上， 日頭一出便都飛去， 人不知道落在何處。
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].
亞述王啊，你的牧人睡覺； 你的貴冑安歇； 你的人民散在山間，無人招聚。
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?
你的損傷無法醫治； 你的傷痕極其重大。 凡聽你信息的必都因此向你拍掌。 你所行的惡誰沒有時常遭遇呢？
