< Selemaia 5 >

1 “Mou felele aki ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, pea mamata, mo ʻilo, pea kumi ʻi hono ngaahi potu laulahi, kapau te mou faʻa ʻiloʻi ha tangata, pea kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ʻoku fakamaau totonu, ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he moʻoni pea te u fakamolemole ia.
請你們巡行耶路撒冷的街道,觀察注意,在她的廣場上搜尋:若他們能找到一人,一個履正義,追求信實的人,我就寬恕這城。
2 Pea kapau ʻoku nau pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova;’ ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau fuakava kākā pe.
雖然他們起誓說:「上主永在! 」其實他們起的誓仍是虛誓。
3 ‌ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku hanga ki he moʻoni ʻa ho fofonga? Kuo ke taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamahi; kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he tautea: kuo nau fakafefeka hake honau mata ʻi ha maka; ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie tafoki.
上主,你的眼睛難道不顧信實﹖你打擊了他們,他們卻毫不覺痛;你使他們挫敗,他們仍拒絕受教,使自己的面孔比火石還要頑硬,不願悔改。
4 Ko ia naʻaku pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau masiva: ʻoku nau vale: he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua.
我想:「不錯,他們原是無知的平民,不認識上主的道路和衪他們天主的法律。
5 Te u ʻalu ki he kau tangata poto, pea te u lea kiate kinautolu; he kuo nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua;” ka ko kinautolu ni kuo nau maumauʻi ʻaupito ʻae haʻamonga, pea motuhi ʻae ngaahi haʻi.
我要去問有權勢的人,與他們談論,因為他們知道火道路和他們天主的法律。」哎! 連他們也都折斷了軛,掙斷了繩索。
6 Ko ia ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he laione mei he vao, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ulofi ʻoe efiafi, pea ʻe leʻo ki honau ngaahi kolo ʻe he lēpati: ko ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu atu ʻi ai ʻe haehae ke iiki; koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻoku lahi, pea ʻoku tupu ʻenau ngaahi fakaholomui.
為此,獅子由叢林出來襲擊他們,曠野的豺狼出來傷害他們,豹子潛伏在他們的城旁,凡出來的人都被撕裂,因為他們罪上加罪,失節有增無已。
7 “ʻE fēfē ʻeku fakamolemole koe koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni? Kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoʻo fānau, pea fuakava ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi ʻotua: hili ʻeku fafanga ʻakinautolu ke mākona, naʻa nau fai angahala, pea nau fakataha ʻo tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe kau faʻa feʻauaki.
如此,我怎能寬恕你﹖你的子孫離棄了我,奉「非神」發誓。我使他們飽食,他們卻去行淫,群集在妓院裏;
8 Pea naʻa nau hangē ko e fanga hoosi tau kuo fafanga ʻi he pongipongi: pea naʻa nau taki taha holi ki he uaifi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi.”
他們像荒淫雄壯的牡馬,各向自己近人的妻室嘶鳴。
9 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ʻikai ʻe totongi ʻe hoku laumālie ki he puleʻanga pehē?
這些事,我怎能不懲罰﹖──上主的斷語──像這些火民族,我怎能不親自報復﹖
10 “Mou ʻalu hake ki hono ngaahi ʻā, pea fakaʻauha; kaeʻoua naʻa fakaʻosi ʻaupito; ʻave ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻo Sihova ʻakinautolu.”
請你們登上她的牆上頭,加以毀壞,但不要完全毀滅,該除去她的枝條,因為它們不屬於上主。
11 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo fai kākā ʻaupito kiate au ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.”
以色列和猶大家,實在對我不忠,達到極點──
12 Kuo nau fakafisingaʻi ʻa Sihova, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ia ia; ʻe ʻikai hoko ha kovi kiate kitautolu pea ʻe ʻikai te tau mamata ki he heletā pe ha honge.
上主的斷語。他們否認上主說:「衪不存在! 災禍不會臨到我們身上,我們也決不會見到戰爭和飢荒;
13 Pea ʻe hoko ʻae kau palōfita ʻo hangē ko e matangi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ha lea: ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu.”
先知們不過是一陣風,他們並沒有上主的話;他們這樣只有自作自受。」
14 Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Koeʻuhi kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni, vakai, te u ngaohi ʻeku ngaahi lea ke hangē ko e afi ʻi ho ngutu, pea ko e kakai ni ke hangē ko e ʻakau, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.”
為此,上主萬軍火天主這樣說:「因為他們說了這話,我必使我的話在你的口中成為火,使這人民成為木柴,將他們吞滅。
15 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, Te u ʻomi ha kakai mei he mamaʻo kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kakai mālohi, ko e kakai muʻa pe, ko e kakai ʻe ʻikai te ke poto ʻi heʻenau lea, pe ʻiloʻi ʻaia ʻoku nau lea ʻaki.
以色列家! 看,我從遠方給你們引來一個民族──上主的斷語──一個所向無敵的民族,一個支老的民族,一個你們不慬她的語言,也聽不出她說什麼的民族
16 ‌ʻOku tatau honau hōfangahau mo e fonualoto kuo matangaki, ko e kau tangata mālohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
他們的箭有如張口墳墓;他們都是善戰的勇士。
17 Pea te nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa homou taʻu, pea mo hoʻomou mā, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke kai ʻe ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo fanga sipi mo hoʻo fanga manu: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo ngaahi vaine mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki: te nau fakamasiva ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa ho ngaahi kolo mālohi, ʻaia naʻa ke falala ki ai.”
這民族必吃掉你的收穫和食糧,必吃掉你的兒子和女兒,必吃掉你的羊群和牛群,必吃掉你的葡萄和無花果,必以武力蹂躝你依恃的堅城。
18 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
即在那些時日裏──上主的斷語──我也不對你們加以徹底的毀滅。」
19 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka mou ka pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku fai ai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?’ Pea te ke toki lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻO hangē kuo mou liʻaki au, pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻo homou fonua, ʻe pehē hoʻomou tauhi ki he kakai muli ʻi he fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻomoutolu.’
假使有人問:「為什麼上主我們的天主對我們做了這一切的事﹖」你當對他們說:「你們怎樣離棄了我,在你們國內事奉了外邦的神祗,你們也該怎樣在不屬於你們的境內事奉外邦人。」
20 “Fakahā ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he fale ʻo Sēkope, pea fakahā ia ʻia Siuta, ʻo pehē,
你們你們將這事通知雅各伯家,轉告猶大說:
21 ‘Fanongo, ki he meʻa ni, ʻae kakai vale, pea taʻeloto; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai mamata; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku telinga ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi.’
「你們愚昧無知,有目不見,有耳不聞的人民,請聽聽這話:
22 ‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻIkai te mou manavahē kiate au? ʻE ʻikai te mou tetetete ʻi hoku ʻao? Kuo u ʻai ʻae ʻoneʻone ko e fakangatangata ʻoe tahi ʻi he fono taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa laka ai; kapau ʻe hake hono ngaahi peau, ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi; kapau te nau ʻuʻulu, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa laka ai.’
你們不敬畏我嗎﹖──上主的斷語──你們在我面前不戰憟嗎﹖是我堆集了沙石作海的界限,作為它永不能越過的界限浪雖然洶湧,仍無能為力;雖怒號澎湃,仍不能越過。」
23 “Ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kakai ni ʻae loto tafoki mo angatuʻu; kuo nau tafoki pea ʻalu.
但這內心頑固的心民,竟背叛而離去,
24 Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau pehē ʻi honau loto, ‘Ko eni, ke tau manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻae ʻuha muʻa mo e ʻuha mui, ʻi hono ʻaho totonu: pea kuo ne tauhi maʻatautolu ʻae ngaahi uike tuʻutuʻuni ki he ututaʻu.’
從不反心自省:「我們應該敬畏上主,我們的天主,因為衪按時降下雨露、秋霜和春雨;又給我們保持固定的收穫時節。」
25 “Kuo fakaafe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni meiate kimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi angahala, pea kuo taʻofi ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei meiate kimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi hia.
是你們的過犯混亂了這些時令,是罪惡阻止了你們享這幸福。
26 He ʻoku ai ʻae kau angakovi ʻi hoku kakai: ʻoku nau toitoi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku tautau ʻae ngaahi hele; ʻoku nau ʻai ʻae tauhele, ke nau moʻua ai ʻae kau tangata.
因為在我的人民中發現惡人;他們像隱伏的捕鳥者在窺探,布下羅網捕捉人。
27 Pea ʻoku pito honau ngaahi fale ʻi he kākā, ʻo hangē ʻoku pito ʻae finaki ʻi he ngaahi manupuna: ko ia kuo nau hoko ai ke lahi, pea maʻu meʻa.
猶如籠中滿了飛鳥,他們家中也充滿了欺詐,因此成了有勢力,有錢財的人。
28 Kuo nau hoko ke sino, pea ngingila; ʻio, kuo nau kovi lahi hake ʻi he kau angahala: ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa, ko e meʻa ʻae tamai mate; pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa totonu ʻae masiva, ka ʻoku nau monūʻia.”
他們肥胖紅潤,作奸犯科,不為孤兒辯護;只求自己享受,也不關懷窮人的權利。
29 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni?”
像這樣的事,我怎能不懲罰﹖──上主的斷語──像這樣的民族,我怎能不親自報復﹖
30 Kuo fai ha meʻa fakaofo mo fakailifia ʻi he fonua.
在國內發生了一件恐怖而可憎的事:
31 ‌ʻOku kikite kākā ʻae kau palōfita, pea ʻoku kau taha mo kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki; pea ʻoku loto ʻa hoku kakai ke pehē pe ia: pea ko e hā te mou fai ʻi hono ikuʻanga?
先知們說假預言,司祭們爭權奪利,我的人民反以此為樂;到了最後,你們究竟還要作什麼﹖
