< 耶利米书 48 >

1 论摩押。万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说: 尼波有祸了!因变为荒场。 基列亭蒙羞被攻取; 米斯迦蒙羞被毁坏;
Against Moab thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
2 摩押不再被称赞。 有人在希实本设计谋害她,说: 来吧!我们将她剪除,不再成国。 玛得缅哪,你也必默默无声; 刀剑必追赶你。
There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 从何罗念有喊荒凉大毁灭的哀声:
A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
4 摩押毁灭了! 她的孩童发哀声,使人听见。
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 人上鲁希坡随走随哭, 因为在何罗念的下坡听见毁灭的哀声。
For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 你们要奔逃,自救性命, 独自居住,好像旷野的杜松。
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7 你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的财宝必被攻取。 基抹和属他的祭司、首领也要一同被掳去。
For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
8 行毁灭的必来到各城, 并无一城得免。 山谷必致败落, 平原必被毁坏; 正如耶和华所说的。
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as YHWH hath spoken.
9 要将翅膀给摩押, 使她可以飞去。 她的城邑必致荒凉, 无人居住。 (
Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 懒惰为耶和华行事的,必受咒诅;禁止刀剑不经血的,必受咒诅。)
Cursed be he that doeth the work of YHWH deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11 摩押自幼年以来常享安逸, 如酒在渣滓上澄清, 没有从这器皿倒在那器皿里, 也未曾被掳去。 因此,它的原味尚存, 香气未变。
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 耶和华说:“日子将到,我必打发倒酒的往她那里去,将她倒出来,倒空她的器皿,打碎她的坛子。
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13 摩押必因基抹羞愧,像以色列家从前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一样。
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 你们怎么说: 我们是勇士,是有勇力打仗的呢?
How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15 摩押变为荒场, 敌人上去进了她的城邑。 她所特选的少年人下去遭了杀戮; 这是君王—名为万军之耶和华说的。
Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is YHWH of hosts.
16 摩押的灾殃临近; 她的苦难速速来到。
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 凡在她四围的和认识她名的, 你们都要为她悲伤,说: 那结实的杖和那美好的棍, 何竟折断了呢?
All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!
18 住在底本的民哪, 要从你荣耀的位上下来, 坐受干渴; 因毁灭摩押的上来攻击你, 毁坏了你的保障。
Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
19 住亚罗珥的啊, 要站在道旁观望, 问逃避的男人和逃脱的女人说: 是什么事呢?
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
20 摩押因毁坏蒙羞; 你们要哀号呼喊, 要在亚嫩旁报告说: 摩押变为荒场!
Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; and tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
21 “刑罚临到平原之地的何伦、雅杂、米法押、
And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 底本、尼波、伯·低比拉太音、
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
23 基列亭、伯·迦末、伯·米恩、
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
24 加略、波斯拉,和摩押地远近所有的城邑。
And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 摩押的角砍断了,摩押的膀臂折断了。这是耶和华说的。”
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith YHWH.
26 “你们要使摩押沉醉,因她向耶和华夸大。她要在自己所吐之中打滚,又要被人嗤笑。
Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against YHWH: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 摩押啊,你不曾嗤笑以色列吗?她岂是在贼中查出来的呢?你每逢提到她便摇头。
For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
28 摩押的居民哪, 要离开城邑,住在山崖里, 像鸽子在深渊口上搭窝。
O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
29 我们听说摩押人骄傲, 是极其骄傲; 听说他自高自傲, 并且狂妄,居心自大。
We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 耶和华说: 我知道他的忿怒是虚空的; 他夸大的话一无所成。
I know his wrath, saith YHWH; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31 因此,我要为摩押哀号, 为摩押全地呼喊; 人必为吉珥·哈列设人叹息。
Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
32 西比玛的葡萄树啊,我为你哀哭, 甚于雅谢人哀哭。 你的枝子蔓延过海, 直长到雅谢海。 那行毁灭的已经临到你夏天的果子 和你所摘的葡萄。
O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 肥田和摩押地的欢喜快乐都被夺去; 我使酒榨的酒绝流, 无人踹酒欢呼; 那欢呼却变为仇敌的呐喊。
And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
34 “希实本人发的哀声达到以利亚利,直达到雅杂;从琐珥达到何罗念,直到伊基拉·施利施亚,因为宁林的水必然干涸。”
From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35 耶和华说:“我必在摩押地使那在邱坛献祭的,和那向他的神烧香的都断绝了。
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith YHWH, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his elohim.
36 我心腹为摩押哀鸣如箫,我心肠为吉珥·哈列设人也是如此,因摩押人所得的财物都灭没了。
Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
37 “各人头上光秃,胡须剪短,手有划伤,腰束麻布。
For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 在摩押的各房顶上和街市上处处有人哀哭;因我打碎摩押,好像打碎无人喜悦的器皿。这是耶和华说的。
There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith YHWH.
39 摩押何等毁坏!何等哀号!何等羞愧转背!这样,摩押必令四围的人嗤笑惊骇。”
They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40 耶和华如此说: 仇敌必如大鹰飞起, 展开翅膀,攻击摩押。
For thus saith YHWH; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41 加略被攻取,保障也被占据。 到那日,摩押的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。
Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 摩押必被毁灭,不再成国, 因她向耶和华夸大。
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against YHWH.
43 耶和华说:摩押的居民哪, 恐惧、陷坑、网罗都临近你。
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith YHWH.
44 躲避恐惧的必坠入陷坑; 从陷坑上来的必被网罗缠住; 因我必使追讨之年临到摩押。 这是耶和华说的。
He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith YHWH.
45 躲避的人无力站在希实本的影下; 因为有火从希实本发出, 有火焰出于西宏的城, 烧尽摩押的角和哄嚷人的头顶。
They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 摩押啊,你有祸了! 属基抹的民灭亡了! 因你的众子都被掳去, 你的众女也被掳去。
Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
47 耶和华说: 到末后,我还要使被掳的摩押人归回。 摩押受审判的话到此为止。
Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith YHWH. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
