¹尼尼微罪有应得

¹Wo [to] the city of blood, She is all with lies — burglary — full, Prey doth not depart.

²鞭声飕飕，轮声辚辚，骏马奔驰，战车颠簸跳动。

²The sound of a whip, And the sound of the rattling of a wheel, And of a prancing horse, and of a bounding chariot, Of a horseman mounting.

³骑兵腾跃冲锋；刀剑烁烁发亮，枪矛闪闪生光；被杀的人众多，死尸成堆；尸体无数，众人都被尸体绊倒。

³And the flame of a sword, and the lightning of a spear, And the abundance of the wounded, And the weight of carcases, Yea, there is no end to the bodies, They stumble over their bodies.

⁴都因妓女多有淫行，施邪术的美丽女巫，借着她的淫行诱惑列国，借着她的邪术欺骗万族。

⁴Because of the abundance of the fornications of an harlot, The goodness of the grace of the lady of witchcrafts, Who is selling nations by her fornications, And families by her witchcrafts.

⁵万军之耶和华说：看哪！我必攻击你；我要把你的裙子掀到你的脸上，使万国看见你赤身露体，使列邦看见你的羞耻。

⁵Lo, I [am] against thee, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And have removed thy skirts before thy face, And have shewed nations thy nakedness, And kingdoms thy shame,

⁶我要把污秽可憎之物拋在你身上，侮辱你，使你成为众人观看的对象。

⁶And I have cast upon thee abominations, And dishonoured thee, and made thee as a sight.

⁷看见你的都必逃避你，说：“尼尼微荒凉了；有谁为她悲哀呢？”我在哪里可以找到安慰你的人呢？

⁷And it hath come to pass, Each of thy beholders fleeth from thee, And hath said: `Spoiled is Nineveh, Who doth bemoan for her?` Whence do I seek comforters for thee?

⁸挪亚们作前车之鉴你比挪亚们还强吗？挪亚们位于尼罗河流域，周围有水环绕；海是她的屏障，水作她的墙垣。

⁸Art thou better than No-Ammon, That is dwelling among brooks? Waters she hath round about her, Whose bulwark [is] the sea, waters her wall.

⁹古实和埃及，是她无穷的力量，弗人和路比族，是她的助手。

⁹Cush her might, and Egypt, and there is no end. Put and Lubim have been for thy help.

¹⁰然而她却被迁徙，被掳去了；她的婴孩在各街头被摔死；人们为她的尊贵人抽签。她所有的达官贵人都被锁链捆着。

¹⁰Even she doth become an exile, She hath gone into captivity, Even her sucklings are dashed to pieces At the top of all out-places, And for her honoured ones they cast a lot, And all her great ones have been bound in fetters.

¹¹至于你，你必喝醉，必被隐藏；你必因仇敌的缘故，寻找避难所。

¹¹Even thou art drunken, thou art hidden, Even thou dost seek a strong place, because of an enemy.

¹²你一切堡垒，如同无花果树上初熟的果子，若被摇撼，就必落在想吃的人口中。

¹²All thy fortresses [are] fig-trees with first-fruits, If they are shaken, They have fallen into the mouth of the eater.

¹³看哪！在你里面的人都是妇女，你境内的门户，都向仇敌敞开；你的门闩被火烧毁。

¹³Lo, thy people [are] women in thy midst, To thine enemies thoroughly opened Have been the gates of thy land, Consumed hath fire thy bars.

¹⁴你要打水，以备围困，巩固你的堡垒，踹泥踏土，紧握砖模。

¹⁴Waters of a siege draw for thyself, Strengthen thy fortresses, Enter into mire, and tread on clay, Make strong a brick-kiln.

¹⁵在那里火要烧灭你，刀剑要除灭你，吞吃你，好像吞吃蚱蜢一样，你只管增多如蚱蜢，加添像蝗虫，

¹⁵There consume thee doth a fire, Cut thee off doth a sword, It doth consume thee as a cankerworm! Make thyself heavy as the cankerworm, Make thyself heavy as the locust.

¹⁶你增加了你的商人，多过天上的星辰。蚱蜢退了壳，就飞去了。

¹⁶Multiply thy merchants above the stars of the heavens, The cankerworm hath stripped off, and doth flee away.

¹⁷你的领袖多如蝗虫，你的军长像一群群的蚂蚱；天凉的时候，停留在篱笆上；太阳一出，就都飞走了；没有人知道它们在什么地方。

¹⁷Thy crowned ones [are] as a locust, And thy princes as great grasshoppers, That encamp in hedges in a day of cold, The sun hath risen, and it doth flee away, And not known is its place where they are.

¹⁸哀吊亚述王亚述王啊！你的牧人睡觉，你的贵族安歇，你的子民分散在各山上，没有人招聚他们。

¹⁸Slumbered have thy friends, king of Asshur, Rest do thine honourable ones, Scattered have been thy people on the mountains, And there is none gathering.

¹⁹你的创伤无法医治；你受的打击非常严重。听见你这消息的，都必向你鼓掌；因为你不断行恶，谁没有受过害呢？

¹⁹There is no weakening of thy destruction, Grievous [is] thy smiting, All hearing thy fame have clapped the hand at thee, For over whom did not thy wickedness pass continually?
