Nahum 3
1 Woe to the city of blood, filled with all manner of lies and violence. Crime shall not depart from you:
祸哉！这流人血的城， 充满谎诈和强暴— 抢夺的事总不止息。
2 the voice of the whip, and the voice of the turning wheels, and of the neighing horse, and the burning chariot, and the horsemen who ride,
鞭声响亮，车轮轰轰， 马匹踢跳，车辆奔腾，
3 and of the flashing sword and the shining spear, and of a multitude executed and a grievous ruination. Neither is there an end to the dead bodies, and they will fall down upon their dead bodies.
马兵争先，刀剑发光， 枪矛闪烁，被杀的甚多， 尸首成了大堆， 尸骸无数，人碰着而跌倒，
4 Because of the multitude of fornications of the kept woman, beautiful and pleasing and practicing evil deeds, who sold nations by her fornications, and families by her evil doing:
都因那美貌的妓女多有淫行， 惯行邪术，借淫行诱惑列国， 用邪术诱惑多族。
5 behold, I will come to you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will reveal your shame to your face, and I will show your nakedness to the Gentiles, and your disgrace to kingdoms.
万军之耶和华说：我与你为敌； 我必揭起你的衣襟，蒙在你脸上， 使列国看见你的赤体， 使列邦观看你的丑陋。
6 And I will cast abominations over you, and I will afflict you with abuse, and I will make an example of you.
我必将可憎污秽之物抛在你身上， 辱没你，为众目所观。
7 And this shall be: everyone who sees you, will recoil from you, and he will say: “Nineveh has been devastated.” Who will shake his head over you? Where might I seek consolation for you?
凡看见你的，都必逃跑离开你， 说：尼尼微荒凉了！有谁为你悲伤呢？ 我何处寻得安慰你的人呢？
8 Are you better than the populous Alexandria, which dwells along the rivers? Waters encircle it: the sea, with its riches. The waters are its walls.
你岂比挪亚们强呢？ 挪亚们坐落在众河之间，周围有水； 海作她的濠沟， 又作她的城墙。
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were its strength, and there is no limit. Africa and Northern Africa have been your helpers.
古实和埃及是她无穷的力量； 弗人和路比族是她的帮手。
10 Nevertheless, she has been led away with the transmigration into captivity. Her little ones have been dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they have cast lots over her celebrities, and all her elite have been fastened together in shackles.
但她被迁移，被掳去； 她的婴孩在各市口上也被摔死。 人为她的尊贵人拈阄； 她所有的大人都被链子锁着。
11 Therefore, you also will become inebriated, and you will be despised, and you will seek help from the opposition.
你也必喝醉，必被埋藏， 并因仇敌的缘故寻求避难所。
12 All your fortresses will be like fig trees with their green figs. If they are shaken violently, they will fall into the mouth of the one who devours.
你一切保障必像无花果树上初熟的无花果， 若一摇撼就落在想吃之人的口中。
13 Behold, women are at the center of your people. The gates of your land will be opened wide for your enemies; fire will devour your bars.
你地上的人民如同妇女； 你国中的关口向仇敌敞开； 你的门闩被火焚烧。
14 Draw in water because of the blockade; build up your fortresses. Go into the clay and tread; work it to make brick.
你要打水预备受困； 要坚固你的保障， 踹土和泥，修补砖窑。
15 There, fire will devour you. You will perish by the sword; it will devour you like the beetle. Gather together like the beetle. Multiply like the locust.
在那里，火必烧灭你； 刀必杀戮你， 吞灭你如同蝻子。 任你加增人数多如蝻子， 多如蝗虫吧！
16 You have made more negotiations than there are stars in the sky. The beetle has spread out and flown away.
你增添商贾，多过天上的星； 蝻子吃尽而去。
17 Your guardians are like locusts, and your little ones are like locusts among locusts, which alight on hedges on a cold day. The sun rose up, and they flew away, and there was no way to know the place where they had been.
你的首领多如蝗虫； 你的军长仿佛成群的蚂蚱， 天凉的时候齐落在篱笆上， 日头一出便都飞去， 人不知道落在何处。
18 Your shepherds have become drowsy, king Assur. Your princes will be buried. Your people have remained hidden in the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
亚述王啊，你的牧人睡觉； 你的贵胄安歇； 你的人民散在山间，无人招聚。
19 Your destruction is not hidden; your wound is grievous. All who have heard of your fame have clenched their hands over you, because over whom has your wickedness not trampled continually?
你的损伤无法医治； 你的伤痕极其重大。 凡听你信息的必都因此向你拍掌。 你所行的恶谁没有时常遭遇呢？
