那鸿书 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
尼尼微罪有應得
3 這流人血的城,有禍了!
全城欺詐,
充滿劫掠;
搶奪的事總不止息。
2 鞭聲颼颼,
輪聲轔轔,
駿馬奔馳,
戰車顛簸跳動。
3 騎兵騰躍衝鋒;
刀劍爍爍發亮,
槍矛閃閃生光;
被殺的人眾多,
死屍成堆;
屍體無數,
眾人都被屍體絆倒。
4 都因妓女多有淫行,
施邪術的美麗女巫,
藉著她的淫行誘惑列國,
藉著她的邪術欺騙萬族。
5 萬軍之耶和華說:
看哪!我必攻擊你;
我要把你的裙子掀到你的臉上,
使萬國看見你赤身露體,
使列邦看見你的羞恥。
6 我要把污穢可憎之物拋在你身上,
侮辱你,使你成為眾人觀看的對象。
7 看見你的都必逃避你,說:
“尼尼微荒涼了;
有誰為她悲哀呢?”
我在哪裡可以找到安慰你的人呢?
挪亞們作前車之鑒
8 你比挪亞們還強嗎?
挪亞們位於尼羅河流域,
周圍有水環繞;
海是她的屏障,
水作她的牆垣。
9 古實和埃及,是她無窮的力量,
弗人和路比族,是她的(按照《馬索拉文本》,“她的”作“你的”;現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯)助手。
10 然而她卻被遷徙,
被擄去了;
她的嬰孩在各街頭被摔死;
人們為她的尊貴人抽籤。
她所有的達官貴人都被鎖鍊捆著。
11 至於你,你必喝醉,
必被隱藏;
你必因仇敵的緣故,
尋找避難所。
12 你一切堡壘,如同無花果樹上初熟的果子,
若被搖撼,
就必落在想吃的人口中。
13 看哪!在你裡面的人都是婦女,
你境內的門戶,
都向仇敵敞開;
你的門閂被火燒毀。
14 你要打水,以備圍困,
鞏固你的堡壘,
踹泥踏土,
緊握磚模。
15 在那裡火要燒滅你,
刀劍要除滅你,
吞吃你,好像吞吃蚱蜢一樣,
你只管增多如蚱蜢,
加添像蝗蟲,
16 你增加了你的商人,
多過天上的星辰。
蚱蜢退了殼,就飛去了。
17 你的領袖多如蝗蟲,
你的軍長像一群群的螞蚱;
天涼的時候,停留在籬笆上;
太陽一出,就都飛走了;
沒有人知道牠們在甚麼地方。
哀弔亞述王
18 亞述王啊!你的牧人睡覺,
你的貴族安歇,
你的子民分散在各山上,
沒有人招聚他們。
19 你的創傷無法醫治;
你受的打擊非常嚴重。
聽見你這消息的,
都必向你鼓掌;
因為你不斷行惡,
誰沒有受過害呢?
Nahum 3
New International Version
Woe to Nineveh
3 Woe to the city of blood,(A)
full of lies,(B)
full of plunder,
never without victims!
2 The crack of whips,
the clatter of wheels,
galloping horses
and jolting chariots!
3 Charging cavalry,
flashing swords
and glittering spears!
Many casualties,
piles of dead,
bodies without number,
people stumbling over the corpses(C)—
4 all because of the wanton lust of a prostitute,
alluring, the mistress of sorceries,(D)
who enslaved nations by her prostitution(E)
and peoples by her witchcraft.
5 “I am against(F) you,” declares the Lord Almighty.
“I will lift your skirts(G) over your face.
I will show the nations your nakedness(H)
and the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will pelt you with filth,(I)
I will treat you with contempt(J)
and make you a spectacle.(K)
7 All who see you will flee(L) from you and say,
‘Nineveh(M) is in ruins(N)—who will mourn for her?’(O)
Where can I find anyone to comfort(P) you?”
8 Are you better than(Q) Thebes,(R)
situated on the Nile,(S)
with water around her?
The river was her defense,
the waters her wall.
9 Cush[a](T) and Egypt were her boundless strength;
Put(U) and Libya(V) were among her allies.
10 Yet she was taken captive(W)
and went into exile.
Her infants were dashed(X) to pieces
at every street corner.
Lots(Y) were cast for her nobles,
and all her great men were put in chains.(Z)
11 You too will become drunk;(AA)
you will go into hiding(AB)
and seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your fortresses are like fig trees
with their first ripe fruit;(AC)
when they are shaken,
the figs(AD) fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Look at your troops—
they are all weaklings.(AE)
The gates(AF) of your land
are wide open to your enemies;
fire has consumed the bars of your gates.(AG)
14 Draw water for the siege,(AH)
strengthen your defenses!(AI)
Work the clay,
tread the mortar,
repair the brickwork!
15 There the fire(AJ) will consume you;
the sword(AK) will cut you down—
they will devour you like a swarm of locusts.
Multiply like grasshoppers,
multiply like locusts!(AL)
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(AM) they strip the land
and then fly away.
17 Your guards are like locusts,(AN)
your officials like swarms of locusts
that settle in the walls on a cold day—
but when the sun appears they fly away,
and no one knows where.
18 King of Assyria, your shepherds[b] slumber;(AO)
your nobles lie down to rest.(AP)
Your people are scattered(AQ) on the mountains
with no one to gather them.
19 Nothing can heal you;(AR)
your wound is fatal.
All who hear the news about you
clap their hands(AS) at your fall,
for who has not felt
your endless cruelty?(AT)

Nahum 3
New King James Version
The Woe of Nineveh
3 Woe to the (A)bloody city!
It is all full of lies and robbery.
Its [a]victim never departs.
2 The noise of a whip
And the noise of rattling wheels,
Of galloping horses,
Of [b]clattering chariots!
3 Horsemen charge with bright sword and glittering spear.
There is a multitude of slain,
A great number of bodies,
Countless corpses—
They stumble over the corpses—
4 Because of the multitude of [c]harlotries of the [d]seductive harlot,
(B)The mistress of sorceries,
Who sells nations through her harlotries,
And families through her sorceries.
5 “Behold, I am (C)against you,” says the Lord of hosts;
(D)“I will lift your skirts over your face,
I will show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will cast abominable filth upon you,
Make you (E)vile,[e]
And make you (F)a spectacle.
7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you
(G)Will flee from you, and say,
(H)‘Nineveh is laid waste!
(I)Who will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
8 (J)Are you better than (K)No[f] Amon
That was situated by the [g]River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,
And it was boundless;
(L)Put and Lubim were [h]your helpers.
10 Yet she was carried away,
She went into captivity;
(M)Her young children also were dashed to pieces
(N)At the head of every street;
They (O)cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound in chains.
11 You also will be (P)drunk;
You will be hidden;
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your strongholds are (Q)fig trees with ripened figs:
If they are shaken,
They fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Surely, (R)your people in your midst are women!
The gates of your land are wide open for your enemies;
Fire shall devour the (S)bars of your gates.
14 Draw your water for the siege!
(T)Fortify your strongholds!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Make strong the brick kiln!
15 There the fire will devour you,
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a (U)locust.
Make yourself many—like the locust!
Make yourself many—like the swarming locusts!
16 You have multiplied your (V)merchants more than the stars of heaven.
The locust plunders and flies away.
17 (W)Your commanders are like swarming locusts,
And your generals like great grasshoppers,
Which camp in the hedges on a cold day;
When the sun rises they flee away,
And the place where they are is not known.
18 (X)Your shepherds slumber, O (Y)king of Assyria;
Your nobles rest in the dust.
Your people are (Z)scattered on the mountains,
And no one gathers them.
19 Your injury has no healing,
(AA)Your wound is severe.
(AB)All who hear news of you
Will clap their hands over you,
For upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
