< ʻIsaia 28 >
1 Malaʻia ki he tatā ʻoe laukau, ki he kau konā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku hangē ko e fisiʻiʻakau mae ʻa ʻenau toulekeleka ongoongolelei! Kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe vanu kelekele moʻui ʻonautolu ʻoku konā ʻi he uaine!
禍哉,那為酒灌倒的厄弗辣因醉漢所驕矜的冠冕!禍哉,那生於肥谷之巔作她美飾的殘花!
2 Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he ʻEiki ha tokotaha māfimafi mo mālohi, ʻo hangē ko e taufa ʻuha maka, ʻo hangē ko e afā fulikele, ʻo hangē ko e tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vai lahi ʻoku tafe mālohi, te ne tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻaki hono nima.
看哪!吾主興起一位強有力者,有如帶冰雹的暴雨,又如摧毀性的狂風,和漲溢氾濫的大水,猛力將一切拋落地上。
3 Ko e tatā ʻoe laukau, ʻae kakai konā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻe molomoloki ʻi he lalo vaʻe:
厄弗辣因醉漢所驕矜的冠冕,必被人踏在腳下;
4 Pea ko e toulekeleka ongoongolelei, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe vanu kelekele moʻui, ʻe hoko ia ko e fisiʻiʻakau mae, pea hangē ko e fua tupu vave ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana: ʻaia ʻoku toli leva ʻe ia ʻoku mamata ki ai, pea ʻi heʻene ʻi hono nima ʻoku ne kai leva ia ʻo ʻosi.
生於肥谷之巔作她美飾的殘花,將如夏季前早熟的無花果,人一見到便伸手摘取吞下。
5 ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko e tatā ongoongolelei, pea ko e pale fakasanisani, ki hono toe ʻo hono kakai,
到那一天,萬軍的上主將親作他殘餘的百姓的榮冠和華冕;
6 Pea ko e laumālie ʻoe fakamaau kiate ia ʻoku nofo ke fakamaau, pea ko e mālohi kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakafoki ʻae tau ki he matapā.
他將是坐堂判案者的公義之神,將是門前禦敵者的力量。
7 Ka kuo nau hē ʻi he uaine, pea koeʻuhi ko e inu mālohi kuo nau hē mei he hala; kuo hē ʻae taulaʻeiki pea mo e palōfita ʻi he inu mālohi, ʻoku nau moʻua ki he uaine, kuo nau hē mei he hala ko e meʻa ʻi he inu mālohi; ʻoku ninimo honau mata, ʻoku nau humu ʻi he fakamaau.
連這些人也因清酒而搖晃,因濃酒而蹣跚;他們在異象中搖晃,在審斷時暈眩。
8 He ʻoku fonu ʻae ngaahi keinangaʻanga kotoa pē ʻi he lua mo e fakalielia, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ʻoku maʻa.
一切筵席上都滿了嘔吐,沒有一處不是垢物。
9 Te ne ako kia hai ʻae ʻilo? Pea ko hai te ne akonakiʻi ke ne ʻilo ʻa ʻene akonaki? Ko kinautolu kuo fakamavae mei he huʻahuhu, pea kuo toʻo mei he huhu.
他要將智識授給誰呢﹖向誰解釋啟示呢﹖是向方才斷乳和剛離母懷的嬰兒嗎﹖
10 He kuo ʻai ʻae fekau ki he fekau, ʻae fekau ki he fekau; ʻae ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea, ʻae ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea; ko e siʻi ʻi heni pea siʻi ʻi hena:
這只是些「命上加命,命上加命,令上加令,令上加令,這裏一點,那裏一點!」
11 He te ne lea moʻoni ʻaki ki he kakai ni ʻae loungutu fakaleʻoleʻovale pea mo e ʻelelo kehe.
是的,上主要用口吃的唇,異人的舌,向這民族說話!
12 ʻAia naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko eni ʻae mālōlō te ke fakamālōlō ʻaki ʻae kakai ongosia; pea ko eni ʻae fakafiemālie; ka naʻa nau fakaongotuli.
雖然他曾對他們說過:「這就是安息的地方,讓困倦的人安息罷!這就是休養的處所。」可惜他們總不肯聽從。
13 Ka naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ko e fekau ki he fekau, ko e fekau ki he fekau; ko e ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea, ko e ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea; ko e siʻi ʻi heni, pea siʻi ʻi hena; koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu ai, pea hinga fakaholomui, pea mafesifesi pea tauheleʻi, pea moʻua ai ʻakinautolu.
因此上主的話對他們真成了「命上加命,命上加命,令上加令,令上加令,這裏一點,那裏一點!」致使他們雖然前行,卻向後仰倒而跌傷,陷於圈套而被擄獲。
14 Ko ia mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata paetaku ʻoku pule ʻae kakai ni ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.
為此,你們這些在耶路撒冷統治這民族的好嘲弄的人,聽上主的話罷!
15 Koeʻuhi kuo mou pehē, “Kuo mau fuakava mo e mate, pea kuo mau feʻofoʻofani mo heli; ʻoka hā mai ʻae tautea fakaʻauha, ʻe ʻikai aʻu mai ia kiate kimautolu: he kuo mau hūfanga ʻaki ʻae loi, pea kuo mau fufū ʻakimautolu ʻi he kākā:” (Sheol )
你們曾說過:「我們與死亡訂了盟,與陰府結了約,當狂怒的刑鞭經過時,不會落在我們身上,因為我們有欺詐作我們的遮掩,有虛偽作我們的庇護。」 (Sheol )
16 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻai ʻi Saione ʻae maka tuʻunga; ʻae maka kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi, ko e fungani maka tuliki, ko e tuʻunga maʻu: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate ia ʻe ʻikai puputuʻu ia.
因此吾主上主這樣說:「看,我要在熙雍安放一塊石頭,一塊精選的石頭,一塊寶貴的角石作基礎,信賴的人必不動搖。
17 Te u ʻai foki ʻae fakamaau ki he afo fua, mo e māʻoniʻoni ki he meʻa fakatotonu: pea ko e ʻuha maka te ne tafi ke mole ʻae hūfanga ʻoe loi, pea ʻe lōmakiʻi ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻae toitoiʻanga.
我要以公平為準繩,以正義為權衡;冰雹將蕩盡欺詐的遮掩地,洪流將沖散虛偽的庇護所。
18 “Pea ʻe maumauʻi hoʻomou fuakava mo e mate, pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻu homou loto taha mo heli; ʻoka hā mai ʻae tautea fakaʻauha, ʻe toki malaki hifo ai ʻakimoutolu. (Sheol )
你們與死亡所訂的盟約必要廢除,與陰府所結的約必不持久;當狂怒的刑鞭經過時,你們必被蹂躪; (Sheol )
19 Pea ʻi heʻene hā atu te mou moʻua ai; he te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he pongipongi mo e pongipongi, ʻio, ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: pea naʻa mo ʻene ʻuʻulu mai pe ʻe tupu ai ʻae ilifia.
每次經過,每次必要打擊你們;他每朝經過,白日黑夜也經過;惟有恐怖方能使你們明白這啟示。」
20 He ʻoku nounou ʻae mohenga ki he tokoto ʻi ai: pea ʻoku lausiʻi ʻae kafu ke ne fakakafu ʻaki ia.
真是伸直身子床也短,縮作一團被又窄。
21 ʻE tuʻu hake ʻa Sihova ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi he moʻunga ko Pilasimi, te ne houhau ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Kipione, koeʻuhi ke ne fai ʻene ngāue, ʻa ʻene ngāue fakaofo; ke ne fakahoko ʻa ʻene ngāue, ko ʻene ngāue foʻou.
因為上主要興起,如在培辣親山上一樣;要發怒,如在基貝紅山谷一樣,為履行他的工作--他神妙的工作,為完成他的事業--他奇異的事業。
22 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou manuki, telia naʻa ngaohi homou haʻi ke mālohi: he kuo u fanongo ʻi he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻe fai ʻae fakaʻauha, ʻio, kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki māmani kotoa pē.
所以現在不要再嘲笑了,免得你們的繩索繫得更緊,因為我聽到的有關毀滅大地的決議,是來自吾主萬軍的上主。
23 “Mou fakatokanga, pea fanongo ki hoku leʻo; fanongo, pea fakaongo ki heʻeku lea.
請你們側耳靜聽我的聲音,請留意傾聽我的言語:
24 He ʻoku fakahinohino ʻae huo toho ʻe he tangata kelingoue ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke tūtuuʻi? ʻOku ne langaʻi pea fakamolū ʻae ngaahi konga ʻoe kelekele?
耕田的人那有整日耕田,掘土耙地的呢﹖
25 ʻOka fakamolemole ʻae funga ʻo ia, ʻikai ʻoku ne tūtuuʻi mamaʻo ʻae ngaahi tili, pea tūtuuʻi ʻae kumino, pea ai mo e uite lelei, mo e paʻale kuo tuʻutuʻuni, pea mo e lae ʻi honau potu?
當他把地弄平了以後,不是要撒上小茴香,播種大茴香,種植大麥和小麥,地邊種玉蜀黍嗎﹖
26 He ʻoku ako ia ke poto ʻe hono ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne akonakiʻi ia.
這是上主教給他的方式,他的天主指示他的。
27 He ʻoku ʻikai haha ʻae tili ʻaki ʻae meʻa haha, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakatakamilo ʻae saliote ki he kumino; ka ʻoku tā ke ngangana ʻae tili ʻaki ʻae ʻakau, pea mo e kumino ʻaki ʻae tokotoko.
打小茴香不須用釘耙,打大茴香不須用碾機,而是用木棒打小茴香,用棍子打大茴香。
28 ʻOku fakavolu ʻae uite ki he mā koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ne fie haha maʻuaipē ia, pe momosi ia ʻaki ʻae teka ʻo hono saliote, pe fakavolu ia ʻaki hono kau tangata heka hoosi.
五穀豈是要輾碎的嗎﹖不是!人並不將它無限期地壓了又壓,而是叫碾機滾過,碾出穀粒來,並不是為碾碎它。
29 ʻOku haʻu foki eni meia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia ʻoku fakamanavahē ʻi he fakahinohino, pea lelei lahi ʻi he ngāue.”
這也是出自萬軍的上主:他的計劃真是神奇,他的智慧真是超絕。
