< Selemaia 45 >
1 Ko e lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Selemaia, ko e palōfita, kia Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia, ʻi he hili ʻene tohi ʻi ha tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ni mei he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē.
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年,尼利亚的儿子巴录将先知耶利米口中所说的话写在书上。耶利米说:
2 “ʻE Paluki, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, kiate koe;
“巴录啊,耶和华—以色列的 神说:
3 ‘Naʻa ke pehē, “Ko eni ʻoku ou malaʻia! He kuo fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻae mamahi ki heʻeku mamahi; naʻaku pongia ʻi heʻeku toʻe, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha fiemālie.”’
巴录曾说:‘哀哉!耶和华将忧愁加在我的痛苦上,我因唉哼而困乏,不得安歇。’
4 “Pea te ke lea pehē kiate ia, ʻoku folofola pehē ʻa Sihova; ‘Vakai, ko ia kuo u langa te u fesiʻi hifo, pea ko ia kuo u tō te u taʻaki hake, ʻio, ʻae fonua ni kotoa pē.
你要这样告诉他,耶和华如此说:我所建立的,我必拆毁;我所栽植的,我必拔出;在全地我都如此行。
5 Pea ʻoku ke kumi ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi maʻau? ʻOua naʻa kumi ki ai:’ he ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘Vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he kakano kotoa pē: ka te u foaki hoʻo moʻui kiate koe ʻo hangē ko e koloa kuo vetea, ʻi he potu kotoa pē te ke ʻalu ki ai.’”
你为自己图谋大事吗?不要图谋!我必使灾祸临到凡有血气的。但你无论往哪里去,我必使你以自己的命为掠物。这是耶和华说的。”
