< Nehumi 3 >
1 Malaʻia ki he kolo pani toto! ʻOku pito kotoa pē ia ʻi he ngaahi loi mo e kaihaʻa; ʻoku ʻikai ke mahuʻi [mei ai ]ʻa ia kuo fakamālohia;
禍哉! 血債的城,滿城欺詐,處處劫掠,搶奪不息。
2 Ko e pā ʻoe meʻa tā, mo e longoaʻa mo e ngatata ʻoe ngaahi vaʻe saliote, pea mo e fanga hoosi, pea mo e hopohopo ʻae ngaahi saliote.
聽皮鞭颼颼,車輪隆隆,戰馬奔馳,戰車疾駛,
3 ʻOku hiki hake ʻe he tangata heka hoosi ʻae heletā ngingila mo e tao ngingila foki; ʻoku tokolahi ʻaupito ʻae haʻanga, pea ʻoku tokolahi ʻae ʻangaʻanga; pea taʻefaʻalaua honau kakai mate; ʻoku nau humu ki honau ngaahi ʻangaʻanga:
騎士躍馬,刀劍晃亮,槍矛閃輝,被殺者眾,死者成堆,屍體無邊,人人為屍體絆倒:
4 Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi feʻauaki lahi ʻaupito ʻae muitau hoihoifua, ʻae fineʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi mana loi, ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi heʻene faʻa feʻauaki, mo e ngaahi faʻahinga kakai ʻi heʻene mana loi.
這都是因那嬌艷妖冶的淫婦,行妖術的女巫的許多淫行所致。她以淫蕩欺騙了列邦,用妖術迷惑了萬民。
5 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu kiate koe; pea te u fakahā ho ngaahi tapaʻi kofu ʻi ho mata, pea te u fakahā ho telefua ki he ngaahi faʻahinga kakai, mo ho mā ki he ngaahi puleʻanga.
看,我必攻擊你,──萬軍上主的斷語──我必將妳的衣裙掀到妳的臉上,使萬民見到妳的裸體,使列邦看到妳的恥辱:
6 Pea te u lī ʻae meʻa fakalielia kiate koe, mo fakaʻuliʻi koe, pea fokotuʻu koe, ko e siofiaʻanga.
我必要將糞溺拋在妳身上侮辱妳,使妳成為鑑戒。
7 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻilonga ʻakinautolu ʻoku sio kiate koe, te nau hola meiate koe, mo nau pehē, ‘Kuo fakalala ʻa Ninive: ko hai ʻe tēngihia ia?’ Te u kumi mei fē ha kau fakafiemālie kiate koe?”
凡看見妳的,必逃避妳說:「尼尼微終於毀滅了! 」誰會向妳表同情﹖我從哪裏能找到安慰妳人﹖
8 ʻOku ke lelei koā ʻia No, ʻaia naʻe kakai, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe, ʻaia naʻe takatakai ʻe he ngaahi vai, ʻaia ko hono puke ko e tahi, mo hono ʻā naʻe mei he tahi?
妳哪裏能勝過那位於尼羅上,四面環水的諾阿孟。妳有海洋為屏障,有水為垣牆;
9 Ko hono mālohiʻanga ʻa ʻItiopea mo ʻIsipite, pea naʻe taʻefaʻalaua ia; ko ho kau tokoni ʻa Puti mo Lupimi.
雇士和埃及是好的力量,力大無窮;普特和利比亞是好的助1 ;
10 Ka naʻe ʻave ia, naʻe ʻalu ia ki he pōpula: naʻe laiki foki ʻa ʻene fānau valevale ʻi he muʻa hala ʻoe ngaahi hala kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau talotalo ki heʻene kau mātuʻa, mo hono houʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe haʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi.
但是好也被擄去,充當俘虜,好的嬰兒也在各街頭被摔死,人抽籤分配好的貴族,用鐵鏈縛住她的縉紳。
11 Ko koe foki te ke kona, ʻe fakafufū koe, ko koe foki te ke kumi mālohi koeʻuhi ko e fili.
妳也要這樣被攻破而消失,妳也要一個安全處為逃避仇敵。
12 ʻE tatau hoʻo ngaahi potu mālohi mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi hoʻo ʻuluaki toʻukai; ka lulululu, ʻe tō, ʻio, ki he ngutu ʻo ia ʻoku kai.
好的一切堡壘好像早熟的無花果樹,人一搖動,就落在姇食者的口裏。
13 Vakai ko hoʻo kakai ʻoku ʻiate koe, ko e kau fefine; ʻe fakaava ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻo ho fonua ki ho ngaahi fili; ʻe kai ʻe he afi ʻa ho ngaahi songo.
看哪! 在妳中間的百姓都是婦女,妳境內的門已為妳的敵人敞開,火已燒毀了妳的門閂。
14 Utu hoʻo vai ki he tau, teuteu hoʻo ngaahi kolo tau: ʻalu ki he ʻumea, pea malaki ʻae lahe, ngaohi ke mālohi ʻae taʻoʻanga ʻumea.
妳應吸水防備圍困,應鞏固妳的堡壘,踏黏土,踩膠泥,緊握磚型。
15 ʻE kai koe ʻe he afi ʻi ai; ʻe motuhi koe ʻe he heletā, te ne kai koe ke ʻosi hangē ko e ʻunufe; fakatokolahi koe ʻo hangē ko e ʻunufe, fakatokolahi koe ke hangē ko e heʻe.
火要在那裏燒滅妳,刀劍要殲滅妳, [把妳吞食有如蚱蜢。] 妳盡可增多妳的人數有如蚱蜢,多如飛蝗;
16 Ko hoʻo kau tangata fakatau kuo ke fakatokolahi ʻi he ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi: ʻoku fai ʻae maumau ʻe he ʻunufe, pea ne puna atu.
增加妳的商賈,多過天上的星辰! ──蚱蜢一脫殼就飛去了。
17 ʻOku tatau ho ngaahi tuʻi mo e fanga heʻe, mo hoʻo kau pule mo e fanga heʻe lalahi, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi ʻā ʻi he ʻaho momoko, ka ka hopo hake ʻae laʻā ʻoku nau puna atu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻilo ʻa honau potu pe ʻoku nau ʻi fē.
妳的守衛正如蝗蟲,妳的官吏正像一群蚱蜢;冷天蟄伏在牆上,但太陽一昇起,就飛去了,沒有人知道牠們究在何處。
18 ʻOku mohe hoʻo kau tauhi, ʻe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: ʻe nofo hoʻo ngaahi houʻeiki ʻi he efu: kuo movetevete ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku ne tānaki kinautolu.
亞述王! 你的牧者已酣睡,你的貴族已永眠,你的人民已散在各山上,無人再能聚集。
19 ʻOku ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ki ho volu; ʻoku lahi ho lavea; ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ki hoʻo ongoongo, te nau pasi nima kiate koe: he ko hai ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ke hoko ki ai hoʻo angahala maʻuaipē?
你的瘡痍無法治療,你的創傷是致命傷。凡聽到你這消息的,都朝你鼓掌,因為有誰沒有時常受你虐待﹖
