< 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;
Of Moab. "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.
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。
The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."
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 by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the 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 a shrub 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 you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials 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。
The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD has 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 to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'
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 is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps 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 has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains 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 look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
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。
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 can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant 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 laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries 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 you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, 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。
You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
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?
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been 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 disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,
and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on 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,' says the LORD.
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 him drunk; for he magnified himself against the LORD: and Moab 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 wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
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。
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
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 of the pride of Moab--he is very proud--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, 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,' says the LORD, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
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 I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will 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。
With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.
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。
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the 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 to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become 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。
And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says the LORD, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.
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 my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
37 “各人头上光秃,胡须剪短,手有划伤,腰束麻布。
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist 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。
On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says the LORD.
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。”
How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around 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 says the LORD: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against 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 strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of 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。
Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
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, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.
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 who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says the LORD.
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。
'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.
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 to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
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 back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
