那鴻書 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1禍哉！這流人血的城， 充滿謊詐和強暴－ 搶奪的事總不止息。
1Woe to thee, O city of blood, all full of lies and violence: rapine shall not depart from thee.
2鞭聲響亮，車輪轟轟， 馬匹踢跳，車輛奔騰，
2The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the neighing horse, and of the running chariot, and of the horsemen coming up,
3馬兵爭先，刀劍發光， 槍矛閃爍，被殺的甚多， 屍首成了大堆， 屍骸無數，人碰着而跌倒，
3And of the shining sword, and of the glittering spear, and of a multitude slain, and of a grievous destruction: and there is no end of carcasses, and they shall fall down on their dead bodies.
4都因那美貌的妓女多有淫行， 慣行邪術，藉淫行誘惑列國， 用邪術誘惑多族。
4Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that was beautiful and agreeable, and that made use of witchcraft, that sold nations through her fornications, and families through her witchcrafts.
5萬軍之耶和華說：我與你為敵； 我必揭起你的衣襟，蒙在你臉上， 使列國看見你的赤體， 使列邦觀看你的醜陋。
5Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will discover thy shame to thy face, and will shew thy nakedness to the nations, and thy shame to kingdoms.
6我必將可憎污穢之物拋在你身上， 辱沒你，為眾目所觀。
6And I will cast abominations upon thee, and will disgrace thee, and will make an example of thee.
7凡看見你的，都必逃跑離開你， 說： 尼尼微 荒涼了！有誰為你悲傷呢？ 我何處尋得安慰你的人呢？
7And it shall come to pass that every one that shall see thee, shall flee from thee, and shall say: Ninive is laid waste: who shall bemoan thee? whence shall I seek a comforter for thee?
8你豈比 挪亞們 強呢？ 挪亞們 坐落在眾河之間，周圍有水； 海作她的濠溝， 又作她的城牆。
8Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches, the waters are its walls.
9古實 和 埃及 是她無窮的力量； 弗 人和 路比 族是她的幫手。
9Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers.
10但她被遷移，被擄去； 她的嬰孩在各市口上也被摔死。 人為她的尊貴人拈鬮； 她所有的大人都被鍊子鎖着。
10Yet she also was removed and carried into captivity: her young children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters.
11你也必喝醉，必被埋藏， 並因仇敵的緣故尋求避難所。
11Therefore thou also shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: and thou shalt seek help from the enemy.
12你一切保障必像無花果樹上初熟的無花果， 若一搖撼就落在想吃之人的口中。
12All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green figs: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
13你地上的人民如同婦女； 你國中的關口向仇敵敞開； 你的門閂被火焚燒。
13Behold thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies, the fire shall devour thy bars.
14你要打水預備受困； 要堅固你的保障， 踹土和泥，修補磚窯。
14Draw thee water for the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the clay, and tread, work it and make brick.
15在那裏，火必燒滅你； 刀必殺戮你， 吞滅你如同蝻子。 任你加增人數多如蝻子， 多如蝗蟲吧！
15There shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the bruchus, make thyself many like the locust.
16你增添商賈，多過天上的星； 蝻子吃盡而去。
16Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven: the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away.
17你的首領多如蝗蟲； 你的軍長彷彿成群的螞蚱， 天涼的時候齊落在籬笆上， 日頭一出便都飛去， 人不知道落在何處。
17Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they were.
18亞述 王啊，你的牧人睡覺； 你的貴冑安歇； 你的人民散在山間，無人招聚。
18Thy shepherds have slumbered, O king of Assyria, thy princes shall be buried: thy people are hid in the mountains, and there is none to gather them together.
19你的損傷無法醫治； 你的傷痕極其重大。 凡聽你信息的必都因此向你拍掌。 你所行的惡誰沒有時常遭遇呢？
19Thy destruction is not hidden, thy wound is grievous: all that have heard the fame of thee, have clapped their hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
