耶利米書

第48章

1 大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此攻擊摩押[Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel],說:尼波有禍了。因為被擄掠[spoiled];基列亭抱愧[confounded]被攻取;米斯迦抱愧[confounded]驚惶[dismayed]

2 摩押不再被稱讚;有人在希實本設計攻擊摩押[against it],說:來吧。我們將摩押[it]剪除,不再成國。瑪得緬哪,你也必被砍下[cut down];刀劍必追趕你。

3 必有喊聲從何羅念發出[A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim]是荒涼大毀滅的哀聲[spoiling and great destruction]

4 摩押毀滅了;她的孩童[little ones]發哀聲,使人聽見。

5 人上魯希坡隨走隨哭,因為仇敵[enemies]在何羅念的下坡聽見[a]毀滅的哀聲。

6 你們要奔逃,自救性命,獨自居住,好像曠野的杜松。

7 你因倚靠自己所作的和自己的財寶必被攻取;基抹和屬他的祭司、首領也要一同被擄去。

8 行毀滅的必來到各城,並無一城得免;山谷必致敗落,平原必被毀壞,正如耶和華所說的。

9 要將翅膀給摩押,使她可以逃脫而去[flee and get away];她的城邑必致荒涼,無人居住。

10 以詭詐[deceitfully]為耶和華行事的,必受咒詛;禁止刀劍不經血的,必受咒詛。

11 摩押自幼年以來常享安逸,如酒在渣滓上澄清,沒有從這器皿倒在那器皿裏,也未曾被擄去。因此,它的原味尚存,香氣未變。

12 耶和華說:「看哪[behold],日子將到,我必打發飄流的[wanderers][him]那裏去,使他飄流[that shall cause him to wander],倒空[his]的器皿,打破他們[break their]的罈子。

13 摩押必因基抹羞愧,像以色列家從前倚靠伯.特利的神羞愧一樣。

14 你們怎麼說:我們是有能的[mighty],是有[strong]打仗的呢?

15 摩押被毀壞[spoiled]離開她的城邑上去[gone up out of her cities],她所特選的少年人下去遭了殺戮;這是君王─名為大軍之耶和華說的。

16 摩押的災殃臨近;她的苦難速速來到。

17 凡在她四圍的和認識她名的,你們都要為她悲傷,說:那結實的杖和那美好的棍,何竟折斷了呢。

18 你這[Thou]住在底本的女子[daughter],要從你榮耀的位上下來,坐受乾渴;因毀滅摩押的必臨到你那裏[shall come upon thee]他必毀壞[he shall destroy]你的保障。

19 住亞羅珥的啊,要站在道旁觀望,問逃避的男人和逃脫的女人說:是甚麼事呢?

20 摩押因毀壞抱愧[confounded];你們要哀號呼喊,要在亞嫩旁報告說:「摩押被擄掠了[spoiled]

21 「刑罰臨到平原之地的何崙、雅雜、米法押、

22 底本、尼波、伯.低比拉太音、

23 基列亭、伯.迦末、伯.米恩、

24 加略、波斯拉,和摩押地遠近所有的城邑。

25 摩押的角砍斷了,摩押的膀臂折斷了。這是耶和華說的。」

26 「你們要使摩押沉醉,因她向耶和華誇大;她[also]要在自己所吐之中打滾,又要被人嗤笑。

27 摩押啊,你不曾嗤笑以色列嗎?她豈是在賊中查出來的呢?你自從[since]提到她便歡喜踴躍[skippedst for joy]

28 住在摩押的民[that dwell in]哪,你們[ye]要離開城邑,住在山崖裏,像鴿子在深淵口[sides]搭窩。

29 我們聽說摩押人驕傲([he]是極其驕傲),[and]聽說他自高自傲,並且狂妄,居心自大。

30 耶和華說:我知道他的忿怒,但必不成就[but it shall not be so]他的謊話必不為然[his lies shall not so effect it]

31 因此,我要為摩押哀號,為摩押全地呼喊;我心[mine heart]必為吉珥.哈列設人悲傷[mourn]

32 西比瑪的葡萄樹啊,我為你哀哭,甚於雅謝人哀哭。你的枝子蔓延過海,直長到雅謝海。那行毀滅的已經臨到你夏天的果子和你所摘的葡萄。

33 肥田和摩押地的歡喜快樂都被奪去;我使酒醡的酒絕流,無人踹酒歡呼;他們的歡呼必歸於無有[their shouting shall be no shouting]

34 「希實本人發的哀聲達到以利亞利,直達到雅雜,他們發出喊聲[have they uttered their voice],從瑣珥達到何羅念,像一隻三歲的母牛犢[as an heifer of three years old];因為寧林的水也必[also shall be]乾涸。」

35 耶和華說:「並且[Moreover]我必在摩押地使那在眾高邱[high places]獻祭的,和那向他的眾神燒香的都斷絕了。

36 所以[Therefore],我[heart]為摩押哀鳴如簫,我[heart]為吉珥.哈列設人也是如此;因摩押人所得的財物都滅沒了。

37 「各人頭上必然[shall be]光禿,鬍鬚必然[shall be]剪短;各人手上必[upon all the hands shall be]有劃傷,腰[upon][shall]束麻布。

38 在摩押的各房頂上和街道[streets]遍處[generally][shall be]有人哀哭;因我打碎摩押,好像打碎無人喜悅的器皿。這是耶和華說的。

39 他們必哀號說[They shall howl, saying]:「摩押何等毀壞。何等羞愧轉背[how hath Moab turned the back with shame]。這樣,摩押必令四圍的人嗤笑驚駭。」

40 耶和華如此說:看哪[Behold][he]必如[eagle]飛起,展開翅膀在摩押以上[over Moab]

41 加略被攻取,保障也被佔據,到那日,[in]摩押的勇士心中[shall be]疼痛如臨產的婦人。

42 摩押必被毀滅,不再成國,因她向耶和華誇大。

43 耶和華說:摩押的居民哪,恐懼、陷坑、網羅都[shall be]臨近你。

44 躲避恐懼的必墜入陷坑;從陷坑上來的必被網羅纏住;因我必使追討之年臨到摩押。這是耶和華說的。

45 躲避的人因為勢力就[because of the force]站在希實本的影下;[but][shall]有火從希實本發出,[shall]有火燄出於西宏的城,燒盡摩押的角和鬨嚷人的頭頂。

46 摩押啊,有禍臨到你了[Woe be unto thee]。屬基抹的民滅亡了;因你的眾子都被擄去,你的眾女也被擄去。

47 耶和華說:到末後,我還要使被擄的摩押人歸回。摩押受審判的話到此為止。

Jeremiah

Chapter 48

1 CONCERNING Moab. thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! for it is spoiled; Koriathaim is ashamed and confounded; its defenders are confused and scattered.

2 The glory of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her, saying, Come let us cut her off from being a nation. Though you shall keep your peace, the sword shall pursue you.

3 A sound of wailing is heard from Horonaim, plunder and great destruction.

4 Moab is destroyed; her poor people have published her lamentation.

5 For at the ascent of Luhith they shall go up weeping: and in the going down of Horonaim they shall raise a cry of tribulation and of destruction.

6 Hearken and flee, save your lives and be like a plant in the wilderness.

7 For, because you have trusted in your fortifications and in your treasures, you shall also be taken; and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity together with his priests and his princes.

8 And the spoiler shall come upon all your cities, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.

9 Give a garland to Moab, for she shall surely be destroyed, and all her cities shall become a desolation without any to dwell in them.

10 Cursed is be who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11 The Moabites have been at ease from their youth, and they have settled on their lees, and have not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor have they gone into captivity; therefore their taste remains in them and their scent is not changed.

12 Therefore, Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will send robbers against them, and they shall plunder them and empty their vessels and destroy their wine containers.

13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.

14 How can you say, We are mighty and valiant men of war?

15 Moab is plundered and his cities are burned and his chosen mighty men have been delivered to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

16 The calamity of Moab is soon to come, and his affliction hastens fast.

17 All who are round about him are troubled and shaken, and all who know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

18 Come down from your glory and sit in disgrace, O inhabitant daughter of Ribon, for the spoiler of Moab has come up against you, and he has destroyed your strongholds.

19 Stand by the ways and look, O inhabitant of Adoer! Ask him who flees and him who escapes, and say. What has happened?

20 Moab is ashamed; for it is broken down; howl and cry in Arnon, for Moab is destroyed.

21 And judgment has come upon the land of Mashor, upon Holon and upon Jahazah and upon Mephaath

22 And upon Ribon and upon Nebo and upon Beth-diblathaim

23 And upon Koriathaim and upon Bet-gamul and upon Beth-moen

24 And upon Korioth and upon Bozrah and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.

25 The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken, says the LORD.

26 Make him to be a vagabond, for he magnified himself against the LORD; Moab also shall wallow in his filth and he shall be in derision.

27 Was not Israel a derision to you? He was found among thieves when you fought against him.

28 Leave the cities, and dwell in steep rocks, O you that dwell in Moab, and be like the dove that makes her nest in the sides of the mouth of a crag.

29 We have heard that the princes of Moab are exceedingly proud; their loftiness, their arrogance, and the haughtiness of their hearts I know well, says the LORD;

30 Their works were unjust, and yet their soothsayers did not predict such things against them.

31 Therefore wail for Moab; they cry out for all Moab from every place; for they shall devise evil against the men who dwell in his house.

32 With the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah; your branches are gone over the sea; they reach as far as the sea of Jazer, because the spoiler is fallen upon your summer fruits and upon your vintage.

33 Joy and gladness shall pass away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and wine shall cease from the winepress; none shall tread with shouting; they shall not shout nor say Ho! Ho!

34 From the cry of Heshbon as far as Elealeh, and even to Jahaz, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar to Horonaim, to the city of Alis, they cried like a heifer of three years old; for the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate.

35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says the LORD, him that offers sacrifices in the high places and him that burns incense to his god.

36 Therefore, my heart shall sound for Moab like a harp because they have done evil and are perished.

37 For their heads are clipped and their beards shaved; upon all their hands are signs of mourning, and upon their loins sackcloth.

38 And upon all the housetops of Moab and in all the streets there is mourning, for I have broken Moab like a useless vessel, says the LORD.

39 How it is broken down! How Moab has turned his back and is put to shame! So shall Moab become a derision and a dismay to all that are round about him.

40 For thus says the LORD: Behold, he shall fly mightily as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

41 Kerioth is taken and the stronghold has been captured; the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people because he has magnified himself against the LORD.

43 Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.

44 He who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for I will bring all these things upon Moab in the year of their punishment, says the LORD.

45 For a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon and a flame from the province of Sihon, and it shall devour the face of Moab and the crown of the head of the sons of Shaon.

46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is perished; for your sons are driven away and your daughters are carried captives.

47 Yet I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

15 摩押被毀壞[spoiled]離開她的城邑上去[gone up out of her cities],她所特選的少年人下去遭了殺戮;這是君王─名為大軍之耶和華說的。

17 凡在她四圍的和認識她名的,你們都要為她悲傷,說:那結實的杖和那美好的棍,何竟折斷了呢。

17 All who are round about him are troubled and shaken, and all who know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

18 你這[Thou]住在底本的女子[daughter],要從你榮耀的位上下來,坐受乾渴;因毀滅摩押的必臨到你那裏[shall come upon thee]他必毀壞[he shall destroy]你的保障。

18 Come down from your glory and sit in disgrace, O inhabitant daughter of Ribon, for the spoiler of Moab has come up against you, and he has destroyed your strongholds.

19 住亞羅珥的啊,要站在道旁觀望,問逃避的男人和逃脫的女人說:是甚麼事呢?

19 Stand by the ways and look, O inhabitant of Adoer! Ask him who flees and him who escapes, and say. What has happened?

20 摩押因毀壞抱愧[confounded];你們要哀號呼喊,要在亞嫩旁報告說:「摩押被擄掠了[spoiled]

25 The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken, says the LORD.

26 「你們要使摩押沉醉,因她向耶和華誇大;她[also]要在自己所吐之中打滾,又要被人嗤笑。

26 Make him to be a vagabond, for he magnified himself against the LORD; Moab also shall wallow in his filth and he shall be in derision.

27 摩押啊,你不曾嗤笑以色列嗎?她豈是在賊中查出來的呢?你自從[since]提到她便歡喜踴躍[skippedst for joy]

27 Was not Israel a derision to you? He was found among thieves when you fought against him.

28 住在摩押的民[that dwell in]哪,你們[ye]要離開城邑,住在山崖裏,像鴿子在深淵口[sides]搭窩。

28 Leave the cities, and dwell in steep rocks, O you that dwell in Moab, and be like the dove that makes her nest in the sides of the mouth of a crag.

29 我們聽說摩押人驕傲([he]是極其驕傲),[and]聽說他自高自傲,並且狂妄,居心自大。

29 We have heard that the princes of Moab are exceedingly proud; their loftiness, their arrogance, and the haughtiness of their hearts I know well, says the LORD;

30 耶和華說:我知道他的忿怒,但必不成就[but it shall not be so]他的謊話必不為然[his lies shall not so effect it]

30 Their works were unjust, and yet their soothsayers did not predict such things against them.

31 因此,我要為摩押哀號,為摩押全地呼喊;我心[mine heart]必為吉珥.哈列設人悲傷[mourn]

31 Therefore wail for Moab; they cry out for all Moab from every place; for they shall devise evil against the men who dwell in his house.

32 西比瑪的葡萄樹啊,我為你哀哭,甚於雅謝人哀哭。你的枝子蔓延過海,直長到雅謝海。那行毀滅的已經臨到你夏天的果子和你所摘的葡萄。

32 With the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah; your branches are gone over the sea; they reach as far as the sea of Jazer, because the spoiler is fallen upon your summer fruits and upon your vintage.

33 肥田和摩押地的歡喜快樂都被奪去;我使酒醡的酒絕流,無人踹酒歡呼;他們的歡呼必歸於無有[their shouting shall be no shouting]

33 Joy and gladness shall pass away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and wine shall cease from the winepress; none shall tread with shouting; they shall not shout nor say Ho! Ho!

34 「希實本人發的哀聲達到以利亞利,直達到雅雜,他們發出喊聲[have they uttered their voice],從瑣珥達到何羅念,像一隻三歲的母牛犢[as an heifer of three years old];因為寧林的水也必[also shall be]乾涸。」

34 From the cry of Heshbon as far as Elealeh, and even to Jahaz, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar to Horonaim, to the city of Alis, they cried like a heifer of three years old; for the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate.

35 耶和華說:「並且[Moreover]我必在摩押地使那在眾高邱[high places]獻祭的,和那向他的眾神燒香的都斷絕了。

35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says the LORD, him that offers sacrifices in the high places and him that burns incense to his god.

36 所以[Therefore],我[heart]為摩押哀鳴如簫,我[heart]為吉珥.哈列設人也是如此;因摩押人所得的財物都滅沒了。

36 Therefore, my heart shall sound for Moab like a harp because they have done evil and are perished.

37 「各人頭上必然[shall be]光禿,鬍鬚必然[shall be]剪短;各人手上必[upon all the hands shall be]有劃傷,腰[upon][shall]束麻布。

37 For their heads are clipped and their beards shaved; upon all their hands are signs of mourning, and upon their loins sackcloth.

38 在摩押的各房頂上和街道[streets]遍處[generally][shall be]有人哀哭;因我打碎摩押,好像打碎無人喜悅的器皿。這是耶和華說的。

38 And upon all the housetops of Moab and in all the streets there is mourning, for I have broken Moab like a useless vessel, says the LORD.

39 他們必哀號說[They shall howl, saying]:「摩押何等毀壞。何等羞愧轉背[how hath Moab turned the back with shame]。這樣,摩押必令四圍的人嗤笑驚駭。」

39 How it is broken down! How Moab has turned his back and is put to shame! So shall Moab become a derision and a dismay to all that are round about him.

40 耶和華如此說:看哪[Behold][he]必如[eagle]飛起,展開翅膀在摩押以上[over Moab]

40 For thus says the LORD: Behold, he shall fly mightily as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

41 加略被攻取,保障也被佔據,到那日,[in]摩押的勇士心中[shall be]疼痛如臨產的婦人。

41 Kerioth is taken and the stronghold has been captured; the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

42 摩押必被毀滅,不再成國,因她向耶和華誇大。

42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people because he has magnified himself against the LORD.

43 耶和華說:摩押的居民哪,恐懼、陷坑、網羅都[shall be]臨近你。

43 Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.

44 躲避恐懼的必墜入陷坑;從陷坑上來的必被網羅纏住;因我必使追討之年臨到摩押。這是耶和華說的。

44 He who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for I will bring all these things upon Moab in the year of their punishment, says the LORD.

45 躲避的人因為勢力就[because of the force]站在希實本的影下;[but][shall]有火從希實本發出,[shall]有火燄出於西宏的城,燒盡摩押的角和鬨嚷人的頭頂。

45 For a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon and a flame from the province of Sihon, and it shall devour the face of Moab and the crown of the head of the sons of Shaon.

46 摩押啊,有禍臨到你了[Woe be unto thee]。屬基抹的民滅亡了;因你的眾子都被擄去,你的眾女也被擄去。

46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is perished; for your sons are driven away and your daughters are carried captives.

47 耶和華說:到末後,我還要使被擄的摩押人歸回。摩押受審判的話到此為止。

47 Yet I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
