And the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens until he had destroyed the hosts of the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Jebusites; and he slew them, and bound their feet upon their necks, and slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them into a cave, and covered them over with a stone.
8:3
ወየሐውር፡ በኵሉ፡ ዕበድ፡ ወእኩይ፡ ወሁከት።
他行在各樣的愚妄、邪惡和擾亂中。
And he walked in all manner of folly and evil and tumult.
8:4
ወዘነገርነ፡ ቀዲሙ፡ የሐርጽ፡ ወያነጕዕ፡ ወይበልዕ።
我們先前所說的,他都摧毀、擊碎,並吞滅。
And that which we spoke of before, he crushed and shattered and devoured.
And he rose up in might and dwelt in the land of Zebulun, and he stirred up war, and Macedonia; and he took his provision from Samaria, and they gave him tribute out of Syria.
And he dwelt as far as the border of Kedar, and he stretched out as far as Sidon, and he laid tribute upon Achaia, and he lifted up his neck as far as the river Tekeze; and he turned back and sent his messengers as far as the sea of India.
8:10
ወከመዝ፡ ያሌዕል፡ ክሣደ፡ እስከ፡ ሰማይ።
他就這樣高抬頸項,直到上天。
And thus he lifted up his neck even unto heaven.
8:11
ወአልቦ፡ አትሕቶ፡ ርእሰ፡ አላ፡ በኵሉ፡ እከይ፡ ወትዝኅርት።
他從不謙卑自己,反倒活在一切的邪惡和狂傲中。
And he never humbled himself, but lived in all wickedness and arrogance.
And all his deeds were such as the Lord hates; he did according as Sablanyos, his teacher, had taught him in wickedness and oppression and defilement; and he made the orphan to cry out, and he had no compassion on the poor.
8:14
ወነገሥተ፡ አሕዛብኒ፡ አግብኦሙ፡ ታሕተ፡ እዴሁ፡ ወቀተሎሙ።
他使列邦的君王服在他的手下,又殺了他們。
And the kings of the nations he brought under his hand and slew them.
And he bowed down to idols, and he ate carrion and blood and what was torn and what was sacrificed to idols; and there was no justice, but in all his ways were injustice and wrath and fury and tumult; for he was a terror to the nations that were under his hand, and he made them tributary according to his desire.
And there was no fear of the Lord before his eyes; for he did everything that pleased him before Him, and he walked in stubbornness before the Lord his Creator.
And he did not act as his Creator did; and just as he did evil to his neighbor in the day that he seized him in his wrath, so likewise the Lord shall requite him.
And He shall take vengeance upon him in due time, even as He uprooted the sinners who were before him; for the Lord has said: I am the Lord who takes vengeance upon the proud who do not walk in My commandment, that I may blot out the remembrance of them from the earth.
8:21
ወይትፈደዩ፡ እኩያን፡ በከመ፡ ገብሩ፡ እኩየ።
惡人必照他們所行的惡受報應。
And the wicked shall be requited according as they did evil.
8:22
ወለገብርያነ፡ ሠናይሰ፡ ትትልዎሙ፡ ሠናይት፡ እምኀበ፡ እግዚአብሔር።
惟有行善的人,必有從主而來的福分隨著他們。
But for those who do good, good shall follow them from the Lord.
8:23
ወበከመ፡ ኢያሱ፡ አኀለቆሙ፡ ለነገሥተ፡ ከነዓን፡ በአሐቲ፡ ጊዜ፡ ለ
正如約書亞一時之間殲滅了迦南諸王。
And just as Joshua destroyed the kings of Canaan at one time.
8:24
ከመዝ፡ ይረክቦሙ፡ ለእለ፡ አምዕዕዎ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር፡ በእከየምግባሮሙ።
那些以惡行惹主發怒的人,也必照樣遭遇這事。
Even thus shall it befall those who provoke the Lord by the evil of their deeds.
