< Selemaia 29 >
1 Pea ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe tohi ʻaia naʻe tohi ʻe Selemaia ko e palōfita mei Selūsalema ki hono toenga ʻoe kau mātuʻa naʻe fetuku fakapōpula, pea ki he kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau palōfita, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fetuku fakapōpula ʻe Nepukanesa mei Selūsalema ki Papilone;
以上是先知耶肋米亞從耶路撒冷給被擄去的長老、司祭和先知,以及拿步高從耶路撒冷擄往巴比倫的其餘民眾寄送的書信全文──
2 (Pea hili hono ʻave mei Selūsalema, ʻa Sekonia ko e tuʻi mo e tuʻi fefine, pea mo e kau talafekau, ko e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, mo Selūsalema, mo e kau tufunga, pea mo e kau tufunga ukamea; )
耶苛尼雅王與太后和太監,猶大和耶路撒冷的政要、技工及鐵匠,離開耶路撒冷之後,
3 ʻI he nima ʻo ʻIlasa ko e foha ʻo Safani, mo Kemalia ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, (ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki Papilone kia Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone) ʻo pehē,
猶大王漆德克雅派沙番的兒子厄拉撒和希則克雅的兒子革瑪黎雅以巴比倫見巴比倫王拿步高,耶肋米亞便託他們帶去──信上說:「
4 “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo fetuku fakapōpula, ʻakinautolu kuo u puleʻi ke fetuku mei Selūsalema ki Papilone.
萬軍的上主,以色列的天主,向由耶路撒冷被擄往巴比倫的全體俘虜這樣說:
5 ‘Mou langa ʻae ngaahi fale, ʻo nofo ai pea tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue, mo kai hono fua;
你們應建築房屋居住,種植田園,吃田園的出產;
6 Mou toʻo kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi uaifi, pea fakatupu ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine; pea fili ʻae ngaahi uaifi ki homou ngaahi foha, pea ʻatu homou ngaahi ʻofefine ki honau ngaahi husepāniti, koeʻuhi ke nau fanafanau ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine; koeʻuhi ke mou fakatokolahi ʻi ai, pea ʻoua naʻa fakatokosiʻi.
自己娶妻,生養兒女,也給自己的子女娶妻擇夫,生養兒女;在那裏繁殖,不要減少。
7 Pea kumi ke melino ʻae kolo ʻaia kuo u puleʻi ke fetuku fakapōpula ʻakimoutolu ki ai, pea hūfia ia kia Sihova: he te mou maʻu ʻae fiemālie ʻi hono melino.
在我令你們流徙所到的城裏,你們應尋求當地的平安,
8 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou kau palōfita mo e kau fiemana ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi misi ʻoku mou misi ʻaki.
為當地祈禱上主,以色列的天主這樣說:不要讓你們中間的先知和卜卦師欺騙你們,不要聽信他們所作的幻夢,
9 He ʻoku nau kikite loi kiate kimoutolu ʻi hoku huafa: ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te u fekau ʻakinautolu.’
因為這些人奉我名給你們預言謊話,我並沒有派遣他們──上主的斷語──
10 “He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻOka ʻosi ʻae taʻu ʻe fitungofulu te u ʻaʻahi kiate kimoutolu, pea te u fakamoʻoni ʻeku lea lelei kiate kimoutolu, pea pule ke mou toe haʻu ki he potu ni.
上主只這樣說:巴比倫的七十年期限一滿,我必首顧你們,給你們履行我的諾言,領你們回到這地方。
11 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, kuo u tuʻutuʻuni kiate kimoutolu, ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ki he fiemālie, kae ʻikai ki he kovi, koeʻuhi ke foaki hoʻomou ʻamanaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ikuʻanga.
誠然,我知道我對你們所懷的計劃──上主的斷語──是和平而不是災禍的計劃,令你們有前途,有希望。
12 Pea te mou toki ui kiate au, pea te mou ʻalu ʻo lotu kiate au, pea te u fanongo kiate kimoutolu.
那時你呼求我,前來懇求我,我必俯聽;
13 Pea te mou kumi mo ʻiloʻi au, ʻoka mou ka kumi kiate au ʻaki homou loto kotoa.
尋找我,必找到我,因為你們是全心尋求我。
14 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te mou ʻilo au: pea te u liliu homou fakapōpula, pea te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē naʻaku kapusi ʻakimoutolu ki ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; pea te u toe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he potu ko ia naʻaku pule ke fetuku pōpula ki ai ʻakimoutolu.’
我必將我自己顯示給你們──上主的斷語──轉變你們的命運:從我驅逐你們所至的各國各地召集你們──上主的斷語──領你們回到我以前使你們從那裏被擄去的地方。
15 “Koeʻuhi kuo mou pehē, Kuo fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova kiate kitautolu ʻae kau palōfita ʻi Papilone;
因為上主論及坐在達味寶座上的君王,和住在這城裏的全體人民,即沒有與你們同去充軍的兄弟,這樣說:
16 Ka kuo folofola pehē ʻa Sihova, ki he tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo Tevita, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he kolo ni, pea mo homou kāinga kuo ʻalu atu mo kimoutolu ki he fakapōpula;
萬軍的上主這樣說:看,我必給他們招來戰爭、饑饉和瘟疫,使他們有如壞得不可吃的爛無花果,
17 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ‘Vakai, te u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻae heletā, mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e ngaahi fiki kovi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene kovi.
以戰爭、饑饉和瘟疫窮迫他們,使他們在地上各國遭受虐待,在我驅逐他們所到的各民族中,成為咒罵、驚恐、嘲笑、詛咒的對象,
18 Pea te u tautea ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, pea te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻave ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ke hoko ko e malaʻia, mo e fakaofo, mo e manukiʻanga, mo e ongoongo kovi, ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai:
因為他們沒有聽從我的話──上主的斷語──我不斷給他們派遣我的僕人先知,他們卻沒有聽從──上主的斷語──
19 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova naʻe ʻikai te mou fie fanongo.
至於你們,這些我由耶路撒冷遷往巴比倫的全體俘虜,你應該聽從上主的話。
20 “Ko ia mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakapōpula, ʻakimoutolu kuo u ʻave mei Selūsalema ki Papilone:’
也許你們要說:上主在巴比倫給我們興起一些先知。
21 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, kia ʻEhapi ko e foha ʻo Kolaia, pea mo Setikia ko e foha ʻo Māseia, ʻakinaua ʻoku kikite loi kiate kimoutolu ʻi hoku huafa: Vakai, Te u tukuange ʻakinaua ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te ne tāmateʻi ʻakinaua ʻi homou ʻao;
但萬軍的上主,以色列的天主,論及奉我名給你們預言謊話的科拉雅的兒子阿哈布,和瑪阿色雅的兒子漆德克雅這樣說:看,我必將他們交在巴比倫王拿步高的手中,在你們面前將他們處決;
22 Pea ko e meʻa ʻiate kinaua ʻe tupu ai ʻae lea fakamalaʻia ʻi he kau pōpula kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻoku ʻi Papilone, ʻo pehē, Ke ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ke hangē ko Setikia pea hangē ko ʻEhapi, ʻaia naʻe tutu ʻi he afi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone;
在巴比倫的一切猶大俘虜,必拿他們當詛咒說:願上主使你像巴比倫王用火烙死的漆德克雅和阿哈布!
23 Koeʻuhi kuo na fai kovi ʻi ʻIsileli, pea tonoʻi ʻae uaifi ʻo hona kaungāʻapi, pea kuo na lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea loi ʻi hoku huafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau kiate kinautolu; he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi, pea ko hono fakamoʻoni au.”
因為他們在以色列中間行了敗德的事:姦污人的妻子,妄用我的名字,說我沒有吩咐的話;這是我知道的,我就是見證──上主的斷語。」
24 Ke ke lea pehē foki ki Simaia, mei Nehelami, ʻo pehē,
你應對乃赫藍人舍瑪雅這樣說:
25 ʻOku folofola mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Koeʻuhi kuo ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻi ho hingoa ʻoʻou ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema; pea kia Sefania ko e foha ʻo Māseia ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ki he taulaʻeiki kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,
萬軍的上主,以色列的天主這樣說:因為你以自己的名義,給在耶路撒冷的全體人民,和司祭瑪阿色雅的兒子責法尼雅,及所有的司祭致書說:「
26 “Kuo fakanofo koe ʻe Sihova ko e taulaʻeiki ko e fetongi ʻo Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke mou hoko ko e kau tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku faha, pea mahalo ko e palōfita ia ke ʻai ia ki he fale fakapōpula pea mo e ʻakau fakamaʻu vaʻe.
上主立你代替司祭約雅達為司祭,作上主殿宇的監督,為拘捕一切自充知的狂妄之徒,給他帶上腳鐐鐵枷。
27 Ko ia, ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ke valoki ai kia Selemaia ʻo ʻAnatoti, ʻaia ʻoku ne pehē ʻe ia ko e palōfita ia kiate kimoutolu?
為什麼你至今還不責斥向你自稱為先知的阿納托特人耶肋米亞﹖
28 He naʻa ne fekau kiate kimautolu ʻi Papilone, ʻo pehē, ʻOku fuoloa ʻae fakapōpula ni, mou langa ʻae ngaahi fale, pea nofo ai; pea tō hoʻomou ngaahi ngoue, pea kai hono fua.”
他竟派人到巴比倫對我們說:為期尚遠;不如建屋居住,種植田園,吃田園的出產! 」
29 Pea naʻe lau ʻae tohi ni, ʻe Sefania ko e taulaʻeiki ki he telinga ʻo Selemaia ko e palōfita.
司祭責法尼雅當面將這書信念給先知耶肋米亞聽了。
30 Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
於是有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說:
31 Fekau atu kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo fakapōpulaʻi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ko e meʻa ia Simaia mei Nehelami; koeʻuhi kuo kikite ʻe Simaia kiate kimoutolu, pea ne fakafalala ʻakimoutolu ki he loi, ka naʻe ʻikai te u fekau ia:
「你派人對全體俘虜說:論及乃赫藍人舍瑪雅,上主這樣說:因為舍瑪雅沒有我的委派,竟向你們說預言,叫你們相信謊言,
32 Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, Vakai, Te u tautea ʻa Simaia mei Nehelami, pea mo hono hako: ʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi hono faʻahinga ke nofo mo ʻene kakai; pea ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he lelei te u fai ki hoku kakai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; koeʻuhi kuo ne ako ʻaki ʻae angatuʻu kia Sihova.”
為此上主這樣說:看,我必懲罰乃赫藍人舍瑪雅和他的後裔:他的後代必沒有一個人住在這民族中,能見到我賜給我人民的幸福──上主的斷語──因為他說了背叛上主的話。」
