< ʻIsikieli 19 >
1 “Ko ia foki ke ke fai ha tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsileli.
你当为以色列的王作起哀歌,
2 Pea ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻa hoʻo faʻē? Ko e laione fefine: naʻa ne tokoto hifo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga laione, naʻa ne tauhiʻi ʻa hono ʻuhiki ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga laione mui.
说: 你的母亲是什么呢? 是个母狮子,蹲伏在狮子中间, 在少壮狮子中养育小狮子。
3 Pea naʻa ne tauhi ʻae taha ʻa hono ʻuhiki: naʻe hoko ia ko e laione mui, pea ne fakaʻaʻau ia ke poto ʻi he pō ʻa ʻene meʻakai; naʻa ne kai tangata.
在它小狮子中养大一个, 成了少壮狮子, 学会抓食而吃人。
4 Naʻe fanongo foki ki ai ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga: pea naʻe moʻua ia ʻi heʻenau luo, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki ʻIsipite kuo haʻisia ia ʻaki ʻae ukamea.
列国听见了就把它捉在他们的坑中, 用钩子拉到埃及地去。
5 “‘Pea ʻi heʻene tatali ʻo mamata, kuo mole ʻaia naʻa ne ʻamanaki ki ai, naʻa ne hiki ki he taha kehe ʻi hono ʻuhiki mo ne ngaohi ia ko e laione mui.
母狮见自己等候失了指望, 就从它小狮子中又将一个养为少壮狮子。
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu fano pe ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga laione mui, naʻe hoko ia ko e laione mui, mo ne poto ʻi he pō ʻa ʻene meʻakai, pea naʻa ne kai tangata.
它在众狮子中走来走去, 成了少壮狮子, 学会抓食而吃人。
7 Pea naʻa ne ʻilo honau ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki naʻe maumau, pea naʻa ne fakalala honau ngaahi kolo; pea naʻe ngaongao ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻuʻulu ʻo ʻene tangi.
它知道列国的宫殿, 又使他们的城邑变为荒场; 因它咆哮的声音, 遍地和其中所有的就都荒废。
8 Pea ne toki tuʻu hake kiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mei he potu kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua, pea naʻa nau ʻaʻau atu kiate ia ʻa honau kupenga: pea naʻe moʻua ia ʻi heʻenau luo.
于是四围邦国各省的人来攻击它, 将网撒在它身上, 捉在他们的坑中。
9 Pea naʻa nau fakapōpulaʻi ia ʻo haʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea, pea ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone: naʻa nau ʻai ia ki he ʻana, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ongo atu ʻa hono leʻo ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli.
他们用钩子钩住它,将它放在笼中, 带到巴比伦王那里, 将它放入坚固之所, 使它的声音在以色列山上不再听见。
10 “‘ʻOku tatau hoʻo faʻē mo e vaine ʻi he ngoue vaine ʻoku ʻi he veʻe vai: naʻe fua ngafuhifuhi ia, pea lahi hono vaʻa, koeʻuhi ko e lahi ʻoe vai.
你的母亲先前如葡萄树, 极其茂盛,栽于水旁。 因为水多, 就多结果子,满生枝子;
11 Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi vaʻa mālohi, ko e tokotoko ʻonautolu naʻe fai ʻae pule, pea naʻe fakamāʻolunga hake ia ʻi he ngaahi vaʻa matolutolu, pea naʻe hā mai ia, ʻa ʻene māʻolunga, pea mo e lahi ʻo hono ngaahi vaʻa.
生出坚固的枝干,可作掌权者的杖。 这枝干高举在茂密的枝中, 而且它生长高大,枝子繁多, 远远可见。
12 Ka naʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake ia ʻi he mālohi, naʻe lī hifo ia ki he kelekele, pea naʻe fakamae hono fua ʻe he matangi hahake: naʻe mafesifesi mo fakamae hono ngaahi vaʻa mālohi: pea ne keina ia ʻe he afi.
但这葡萄树因忿怒被拔出摔在地上; 东风吹干其上的果子, 坚固的枝干折断枯干, 被火烧毁了;
13 Pea ko eni, kuo tō ia ʻi he toafa ʻi he kelekele mōmoa mo kakā.
如今栽于旷野干旱无水之地。
14 Pea kuo ʻalu atu ʻae afi mei he manga ʻo hono ngaahi vaʻa, ʻaia kuo keina ai hono fua, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai kei ai hono vaʻa mālohi, ke hoko ko e tokotoko ke pule ʻaki.’ Ko eni ʻae meʻa ke tēngihia, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e meʻa ke tangilāulau ai.”
火也从它枝干中发出, 烧灭果子, 以致没有坚固的枝干可做掌权者的杖。 这是哀歌,也必用以作哀歌。
