Nahum 3
1 Wo to the citee of bloodis, al of leesyng, ful of to-reendyng; raueyn shal not go awei fro thee.
祸哉！这流人血的城， 充满谎诈和强暴— 抢夺的事总不止息。
2 Vois of scourge, and vois of bire of wheel, and of hors makynge noise, and of foure horsid carte brennynge, and of kniyt stiynge vp,
鞭声响亮，车轮轰轰， 马匹踢跳，车辆奔腾，
3 and of schynynge swerd, and glesenynge spere, and of slayn multitude, and of greuouse fallyng, nether ther is eende of careyns. And thei schulen falle togidere in her bodies,
马兵争先，刀剑发光， 枪矛闪烁，被杀的甚多， 尸首成了大堆， 尸骸无数，人碰着而跌倒，
4 for the multitude of fornicaciouns of the hoore fair and plesaunt, and hauynge witchecraftis; which seelde folkis in her fornicaciouns, and meynees in her enchauntementis, ether sorceries.
都因那美貌的妓女多有淫行， 惯行邪术，借淫行诱惑列国， 用邪术诱惑多族。
5 Lo! Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis; and Y schal schewe thi schameful thingis in thi face; and Y schal schewe to folkis thi nakidnesse, and to rewmes thin yuel fame.
万军之耶和华说：我与你为敌； 我必揭起你的衣襟，蒙在你脸上， 使列国看见你的赤体， 使列邦观看你的丑陋。
6 And Y schal cast out on thee thin abhomynaciouns, and Y schal punysche thee with dispitis, and Y schal putte thee in to ensaumple.
我必将可憎污秽之物抛在你身上， 辱没你，为众目所观。
7 And it schal be, ech man that schal se thee, schal skippe awei fro thee, and schal seie, Nynyue is distried. Who schal moue heed on thee? wherof schal Y seke to thee a coumfortour?
凡看见你的，都必逃跑离开你， 说：尼尼微荒凉了！有谁为你悲伤呢？ 我何处寻得安慰你的人呢？
8 Whether thou art betere than Alisaundre of puplis, that dwellith in floodis? Watris ben in cumpas therof, whos richessis is the see, watris ben wallis therof.
你岂比挪亚们强呢？ 挪亚们坐落在众河之间，周围有水； 海作她的濠沟， 又作她的城墙。
9 Ethiope is strengthe therof, and Egipt, and there is noon ende; Affrik and Libie weren in help therof.
古实和埃及是她无穷的力量； 弗人和路比族是她的帮手。
10 But and it in `passyng ouer is led in to caitifte; the litle children therof ben hurtlid doun in the heed of alle weies. And on the noble men therof thei kesten lot, and alle grete men therof ben set togidere in gyues.
但她被迁移，被掳去； 她的婴孩在各市口上也被摔死。 人为她的尊贵人拈阄； 她所有的大人都被链子锁着。
11 And thou therfor schalt be drunkun, and schalt be dispisid, and thou schalt seke helpe of enemye.
你也必喝醉，必被埋藏， 并因仇敌的缘故寻求避难所。
12 Al thi strengthis as a fige tree, with hise figis vnripe; if thei schulen be schakun, thei schulen falle in to the mouth of the etere.
你一切保障必像无花果树上初熟的无花果， 若一摇撼就落在想吃之人的口中。
13 Lo! thi puple ben wymmen in the myddil of thee; the yatis of thi lond schulen be schewid to openyng to thin enemyes; fier schal deuoure thin herris.
你地上的人民如同妇女； 你国中的关口向仇敌敞开； 你的门闩被火焚烧。
14 Drawe vp to thee water for asegyng, bilde thi strengthis; entre in fen, and trede, thou vndurgoynge holde a tiel stoon.
你要打水预备受困； 要坚固你的保障， 踹土和泥，修补砖窑。
15 There fier schal ete thee, thou schalt perische bi swerd, it schal deuoure thee, as bruke doith; be thou gaderid togidere as a bruke, be thou multiplied as a locuste.
在那里，火必烧灭你； 刀必杀戮你， 吞灭你如同蝻子。 任你加增人数多如蝻子， 多如蝗虫吧！
16 Thou madist thi marchaundises mo than ben sterris of heuene; a bruke is spred abrood, and flei awei.
你增添商贾，多过天上的星； 蝻子吃尽而去。
17 Thi keperis ben as locustis, and thi litle children ben as locustis of locustis, whiche sitten togidere in heggis in the dai of coold; the sun is risun, and thei fledden awei, and the place of hem is not knowun, where thei weren.
你的首领多如蝗虫； 你的军长仿佛成群的蚂蚱， 天凉的时候齐落在篱笆上， 日头一出便都飞去， 人不知道落在何处。
18 Thi scheepherdis napten, thou kyng Assur, thi princes schulen be biried; thi puple ofte was hid in hillis, and ther is not that schal gadere.
亚述王啊，你的牧人睡觉； 你的贵胄安歇； 你的人民散在山间，无人招聚。
19 Thi sorewe is not priuy, thi wounde is worst; alle men that herden thin heryng, pressiden togidere hond on thee, for on whom passide not thi malice euermore?
你的损伤无法医治； 你的伤痕极其重大。 凡听你信息的必都因此向你拍掌。 你所行的恶谁没有时常遭遇呢？
