Selemaia 9
1 ʻAmusiaange ʻeau ko e vai ʻa hoku ʻulu, mo e matavai ʻoe loʻimata ʻa hoku mata, ke u tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu kuo mate ʻi he ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?
恨不得我的頭髮變成水源，我的眼化為淚泉，好能日夜哭泣我被殺死的女兒──人民!
2 ʻAmusiaange ʻeau ke u maʻu ʻi he toafa, ʻae fale tali fononga; koeʻuhi ke u tukuange hoku kakai, pea ʻalu ʻiate kinautolu! He ko e kau angahala ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko e fakataha ʻoe kau tangata kākā.
誰能在o石我找一個旅棧，叫我好離開我的人民，離他們而遠去﹖因為都是些亂之徒，是一群反叛；
3 “Pea ʻoku nau teke honau ʻelelo, ke loi ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kaufana; ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau toʻa, koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni ʻi māmani; he kuo nau ʻalu mei he kovi ki he kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
他們彎起像弓的舌頭，使 在地上得勢的，是虛偽而不是誠實，因為他們變本加厲作惡，全不理睬我──上主的斷語。
4 “Mou taki taha vakai ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa mou tui ki ha tokoua: koeʻuhi ʻe fai fakakākā ʻae tokoua kotoa pē, pea ko e kaungāʻapi kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu fano mo e fakakovi.”
你們應各自提防自己的近人，不要信任弟兄，因為所有的弟兄都愛好欺詐，一般的近人都好說讒言；
5 Pea te nau taki taha kākaaʻi hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻikai te nau lea ki he moʻoni; kuo nau ako honau ʻelelo ke lea loi, pea ʻoku nau fakaongosiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fai kovi.
人都欺騙自己的近人，不講實話，使自己的舌頭慣於說謊，謁力行惡，
6 Pea ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kākā; koeʻuhi ko e kākā ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
不願悔悟，卻強暴上又加強暴，欺詐上又加欺詐，全不理睬我──上主的斷語。
7 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Vakai, Te u fakavela ke vai ʻakinautolu, pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu; he ko e hā te u fai koeʻuhi ko e ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?
為此萬軍的上主這樣說：「看，我要將他們淨化，提煉；否則，我將怎樣處理我的女兒──人民──的邪惡﹖
8 ʻOku tatau honau ʻelelo mo e ngahau kuo fanaʻi; ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae kākā: ʻoku ne lea fakafiemālie ʻi hono ngutu ki hono kaungāʻapi, ka ko hono loto ʻoku toka malumu ki ai.”
他們的舌頭像毒箭，好出詐言；嘴上對鄰友說話溫和，心中卻設計陷害。
9 Pea 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?
為這些事我豈能不懲罰﹖──上主的斷語──像這樣的一個民族，我豈能不圖報復﹖
10 Te u tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi moʻunga, pea te u tangi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻi he toafa, he kuo nau vela ʻo ʻosi, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha taha; pea ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ʻi ai ki he leʻo ʻoe fanga manu; kuo puna ʻo mole mei ai ʻae manu ʻoe ʻatā mo e manu ʻoe fonua; kuo nau ʻalu.
我要為群山號咷痛哭，為原野高唱哀歌，因為全都被焚毀，沒有人往來，再聽不到牲畜的聲音；自天空的飛鳥到地上的走獸，都逃去無蹤。
11 “Pea te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, Ko e tuʻunga ʻotoʻota, pea ko e ʻana ʻoe fanga talākoni; pea te u fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ke taʻehakakai ʻi ai.”
我要使耶路撒冷成為廢壚，成為豺狼的巢穴；使猶大的城市荒涼，無人居住。
12 Ko hai ha tangata poto, te ne ʻilo eni? Pea ko hai ia kuo folofola ki ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ke ne fakahā pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ʻauha ʻae fonua, pea ʻoku vela ʻo ʻosi ia ʻo hangē ko e toafa, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha taha?”
誰夠聰明，明白這事﹖上主親口吩咐誰公佈這事﹖「為什麼像這地方遭受毀滅，荒蕪得有如無人經過的曠野﹖」
13 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki ʻeku fono ʻaia naʻaku tuku ʻi honau ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau talangofua ki hoku leʻo, pe ʻeveʻeva ai;
上主說：因為他們離棄了我給他們立的法律，沒有聽從我的聲音，沒有按照法律而行；
14 Ka kuo nau muimui ki he mahalo ʻa honau loto, pea ʻia Peali, ʻaia naʻe ako ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai kiate kinautolu.”
反而去順從自己頑固的心，追隨祖先教給他們的巴耳神。
15 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: “Vakai, Te u fafanga ʻaki ʻae kakai ni ʻae meʻa kona, pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae huhuʻa kona ʻoe ʻahu ke nau inu.
為此萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：看，我必使這人民吃毒艾，飲毒水；
16 Pea te u fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakai hiteni, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ki ai pe ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea te u fekau ʻae heletā ke muimui ʻiate kinautolu kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻosi ʻakinautolu.”
使他們流離到他們和他們祖先素不相識的民族中；派刀劍追擊他們，直至將他們完全消滅。
17 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Mou fakakaukau, pea ui ki he kau fefine tangi ke nau haʻu, pea mo e kau fefine poto ke nau omi:
萬軍的上主這樣說：你們應該明白，快召哀悼的婦女來，派人去叫擅長哭泣的女人來，
18 Pea ke nau fakatoʻotoʻo, mo tangi koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke tafe ʻae loʻimata ʻi hotau mata, pea ha ʻae vai ʻi hotau laumata.
叫她們迅速前來，我們啼哭，使我們的眼睛流下眼淚，使我們的睫毛湧出睙水，
19 He ʻoku ongo mai mei Saione ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo vetea ʻakitautolu, kuo tau puputuʻu lahi, koeʻuhi kuo tau tukuange ʻae fonua, pea kuo kapusi ʻakitautolu ʻi hotau ʻapi.’”
因為從熙雍那裏可以聽到哭聲：我們怎樣崩潰了，受了許多多大的恥辱! 竟要離開本國，拋棄我們的家園!
20 Ka neongo ia, ke mou fanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fefine ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea ongoʻi ʻe homou telinga ʻae folofola ʻa hono fofonga, pea ako ʻae tangi ki hoʻomou fānau fefine, pea ako ke taki taha tangi ʻa hono kaungāʻapi.
妳們婦女! 都應聽清上主的話，親耳聆聽衪口授的言詞；教妳們的女兒痛哭，彼此互相學唱哀歌：
21 He kuo hake ʻae mate ki he ngaahi kātupa; pea kuo hū ia ki he ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, ke tutuʻu ʻae fānau mei tuʻa, pea mo e kau talavou ʻi he ngaahi hala.”
因為死亡已從我們的窗戶爬進來，進入了我們的宮殿，殲滅了街上的孩童，和廣場上的青年。
22 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ke ke lea,” ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mo e ngaahi ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kau tangata ʻe tō ia ki he ʻataʻatā ʻoe ngoue, ʻo hangē ko ha kinohaʻa, pea tatau mo e falukunga ʻoku toe, ʻoka hili ʻae ututaʻu, koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ha taha.”
你應這樣說──上主的斷語──人的屍體僵臥著，好像在田野裏的糞堆；又像遺留在收割者後面無人拾取的麥束。
23 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa polepole ʻae tangata poto ʻi heʻene poto, pe ko e tangata mālohi ʻi heʻene mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa polepole ʻae tangata maʻu meʻa ʻi heʻene koloa.
上主這樣說：「智者不應誇耀自己的智慧，力士不應誇耀自己的力量，富人不應誇耀自己的財富。
24 Ka ko ia ʻoku polepole ke polepole ʻi he meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne poto mo ʻiloʻi au, Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou faʻa manavaʻofa, mo fakamaau, mo angatonu ʻi māmani:” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni.”
凡要誇耀的，只應該在「知道和認識我」這件事誇耀，因為在地上是我，上主，施行仁慈、公道和正義，因為我喜愛這樣事──上主的斷語。
25 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te u tautea ai ʻae kamu fakataha mo e taʻekamu;
看，時日將到──上主的斷語──我要懲罰所有受過割損而仍存有包皮的人，
26 Ko ʻIsipite, mo Siuta, mo ʻItomi, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo Moape, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi potu mamaʻo, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa: he ʻoku taʻekamu ʻae ngaahi kakai ni kotoa pē, pea ʻoku taʻekamu ʻae loto ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.”
即埃及、猶大、厄東、阿孟子民、摩阿布和所有住在曠野剃除鬚髮的人，因為這一切民族都未受過割損，至於以色列全家卻是未受過內心的割損」。
