Nahum
Oracles celebrating the fall of Nineveh
A short prophetic book celebrating the imminent fall of Nineveh — the Assyrian capital that had destroyed Samaria a century earlier. Its three chapters are sustained poetic invective.
1
论尼尼微的默示、就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿所得的默示。
A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2
耶和华是忌邪施报的 神．耶和华施报大有忿怒．向他的敌人施报、向他的仇敌怀怒。
Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
3
耶和华不轻易发怒、大有能力、万不以有罪的为无罪．他乘旋风和暴风而来、云彩为他脚下的尘土．
Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4
他斥责海、使海干了、使一切江河干涸．巴珊和迦密的树林衰残。利巴嫩的花草也衰残了．
He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5
大山因他震动、小山也都消化．大地在他面前突起、世界和住在其间的也都如此。
The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
6
他发忿恨、谁能立得住呢．他发烈怒、谁能当得起呢．他的忿怒如火倾倒、磐石因他崩裂。
Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7
耶和华本为善、在患难的日子为人的保障．并且认得那些投靠他的人。
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8
但他必以涨溢的洪水淹没尼尼微、又驱逐仇敌进入黑暗。
But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9
尼尼微人哪、设何谋攻击耶和华呢．他必将你们灭绝净尽．灾难不再兴起．
What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.
10
你们像丛杂的荆棘、像喝醉了的人、又如枯干的碎秸全然烧灭。
For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
11
有一人从你那里出来、图谋邪恶、设恶计攻击耶和华。
There is one gone out of you, who devises evil against Yahweh, who counsels wickedness.
12
耶和华如此说、尼尼微虽然势力充足、人数繁多、也被剪除、归于无有。犹大阿、我虽然使你受苦、却不再使你受苦．
Yahweh says: “Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13
现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭、扭开他的绳索。
Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.”
14
耶和华已经出令、指着尼尼微说、你名下的人必不留后．我必从你神的庙中、除灭雕刻的偶像、和铸造的偶像．我必因你鄙陋使你归于坟墓。
Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.”
15
看哪、有报好信传平安之人的脚登山、说、犹大阿、可以守你的节期、还你所许的愿罢．因为那恶人不再从你中间经过他已灭绝净尽了。
Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
1
尼尼微阿、那打碎邦国的上来攻击你．你要看守保障、谨防道路、使腰强壮、大大勉力。
He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your waist! Fortify your power mightily!
2
耶和华复兴雅各的荣华、好像以色列的荣华一样．因为使地空虚的、已经使雅各和以色列空虚、将他们的葡萄枝毁坏了。
For Yahweh restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined their vine branches.
3
他勇士的盾牌是红的、精兵都穿朱红衣服．在他豫备争战的日子、战车上的钢铁闪烁如火、柏木把的枪、也抡起来了．
The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished.
4
车辆在街上〈或作城外〉急行、在宽阔处奔来奔去、形状如火把、飞跑如闪电。
The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth in the wide ways. Their appearance is like torches. They run like the lightnings.
5
尼尼微王招聚他的贵胄．他们步行绊跌、速上城墙、豫备挡牌。
He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place.
6
河闸开放、宫殿冲没。
The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
7
王后蒙羞、被人掳去．宫女捶胸、哀鸣如鸽．此乃命定之事。
It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her servants moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
8
尼尼微自古以来充满人民、如同聚水的池子．现在居民却都逃跑．虽有人呼喊说、站住、站住、却无人回顾。
But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back.
9
你们抢掠金银罢。因为所积蓄的无穷、华美的宝器无数。
Take the plunder of silver. Take the plunder of gold, for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.
10
尼尼微现在空虚荒凉、人心消化、双膝相碰、腰都疼痛、脸都变色。
She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale.
11
狮子的洞和少壮狮子餧养之处在哪里呢、公狮母狮小狮游行无人惊吓之地在哪里呢。
Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, the lion’s cubs, and no one made them afraid?
12
公狮为小狮撕碎许多食物、为母狮掐死活物、把撕碎的掐死的充满他的洞穴。
The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill, and his dens with prey.
13
万军之耶和华说、我与你为敌、必将你的车辆焚烧成烟、刀剑也必吞灭你的少壮狮子。我必从地上除灭你所撕碎的、你使者的声音、必不再听见。
“Behold, I am against you,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
1
祸哉、这流人血的城、充满谎诈和强暴抢夺的事总不止息。
Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. The prey doesn’t depart.
2
鞭声响亮、车轮轰轰、马匹踢跳、车辆奔腾、
The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots,
3
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、
the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies,
4
都因那美貌的妓女多有淫行、惯行邪术、藉淫行诱惑列国、用邪术诱惑多族〈诱惑原文作卖〉
because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft.
5
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。
“Behold, I am against you,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
6
我必将可憎污秽之物抛在你身上、辱没你、为众目所观。
I will throw abominable filth on you, and make you vile, and will set you a spectacle.
7
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。
It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste! Who will mourn for her?’ Where will I seek comforters for you?”
8
你岂比挪亚们强呢．挪亚们坐落在众河之间、周围有水．海作他的濠沟〈海指尼罗河〉又作他的城墙。
Are you better than No-Amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
9
古实和埃及是他无穷的力量．弗人和路比族是他的帮手。
Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya were her helpers.
10
但他被迁移、被掳去．他的婴孩在各市口上也被摔死．人为他的尊贵人拈阄．他所有的大人、都被链子锁着。
Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11
你也必喝醉、必被埋藏．并因仇敌的缘故寻求避难所。
You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
12
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。
All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
13
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。
Behold, your troops among you are women. The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars.
14
你要打水豫备受困．要坚固你的保障．踹土和泥、修补砖窑。
Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong.
15
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、多如蝗虫罢。
There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust.
16
你增添商贾、多过天上的星．蝻子吃尽而去。
You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away.
17
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。
Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18
亚述王阿、你的牧人睡觉、你的贵胄安歇．你的人民散在山间、无人招聚。
Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
19
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。
There is no healing your wound, for your injury is fatal. All who hear the report of you clap their hands over you; for who hasn’t felt your endless cruelty?
