耶利米书 49
1 论亚扪人。耶和华如此说： 以色列没有儿子吗？ 没有后嗣吗？ 玛勒堪为何得迦得之地为业呢？ 属他的民为何住其中的城邑呢？
Against the sons of Ammon. Thus says the Lord: “Does Israel have no sons? Or is there no heir for him? Then why has Milcom possessed the inheritance of Gad, and why have his people lived in his cities?
2 耶和华说： 日子将到，我必使人听见打仗的喊声， 是攻击亚扪人拉巴的喊声。 拉巴要成为乱堆； 属她的乡村要被火焚烧。 先前得以色列地为业的， 此时以色列倒要得他们的地为业。 这是耶和华说的。
Therefore, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will cause the noise of battle to be heard over Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. And it will be scattered into a tumult, and her daughters will be burned with fire. And Israel shall possess those who had possessed him, says the Lord.
3 希实本哪，你要哀号， 因为爱地变为荒场。 拉巴的居民哪，要呼喊， 以麻布束腰； 要哭号，在篱笆中跑来跑去； 因玛勒堪和属他的祭司、 首领要一同被掳去。
Wail, O Heshbon! For Ai has been devastated. Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Wrap yourselves with haircloth. Mourn and circle the hedges. For Milcom will be led into the transmigration: his priests and his leaders together.
4 背道的民哪， 你们为何因有山谷， 就是水流的山谷夸张呢？ 为何倚靠财宝说： 谁能来到我们这里呢？
Why have you gloried in the valleys? Your valley has flowed away, O delicate daughter, for you had confidence in your treasures, and you were saying, ‘Who can approach me?’
5 主—万军之耶和华说： 我要使恐吓从四围的人中临到你们； 你们必被赶出， 各人一直前往， 没有人收聚逃民。
Behold, I will lead a terror over you, says the Lord, the God of hosts, from those who are all around you. And you will be dispersed, each one from before your sight. There will be no one who will gather together those who are fleeing.
6 后来我还要使被掳的亚扪人归回。 这是耶和华说的。
And after this, I will cause the captives of the sons of Ammon to return, says the Lord.”
7 论以东。万军之耶和华如此说： 提幔中再没有智慧吗？ 明哲人不再有谋略吗？ 他们的智慧尽归无有吗？
Against Idumea. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman? Counsel has perished from the sons. Their wisdom has become useless.
8 底但的居民哪，要转身逃跑， 住在深密处； 因为我向以扫追讨的时候， 必使灾殃临到他。
Flee and turn your backs! Descend into the chasm, O inhabitants of Dedan! For I have brought the perdition of Esau over him, the time of his visitation.
9 摘葡萄的若来到他那里， 岂不剩下些葡萄呢？ 盗贼若夜间而来， 岂不毁坏直到够了呢？
If those who gather grapes had passed by you, would they not have left behind a cluster? If there were thieves in the night, they would seize what was enough for themselves.
10 我却使以扫赤露， 显出他的隐密处； 他不能自藏。 他的后裔、弟兄、邻舍尽都灭绝； 他也归于无有。
Yet truly, I have stripped Esau bare. I have revealed his secrets, and he is not able to be concealed. His offspring has been devastated, with his brothers and his neighbors, and he himself will not exist.
11 你撇下孤儿，我必保全他们的命； 你的寡妇可以倚靠我。
Leave behind your orphans. I will make sure that they live. And your widows will hope in me.”
12 耶和华如此说：“原不该喝那杯的一定要喝。你能尽免刑罚吗？你必不能免，一定要喝！”
For thus says the Lord: “Behold, those who judged that they would not drink the cup, will certainly drink. And so, will you be released as if you were innocent? You will not be released as if innocent. Instead, you shall certainly drink.
13 耶和华说：“我指着自己起誓，波斯拉必令人惊骇、羞辱、咒诅，并且荒凉。她的一切城邑必变为永远的荒场。”
For I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will be a desolation, and a disgrace, and a wasteland, and a curse. And all her cities will be a perpetual wilderness.
14 我从耶和华那里听见信息， 并有使者被差往列国去，说： 你们聚集来攻击以东， 要起来争战。
I have heard a report from the Lord, and a legate has been sent to the nations: ‘Gather yourselves together, and go forth against her, and let us rise up to battle.’
15 我使你在列国中为最小， 在世人中被藐视。
For behold, I have made you little among the nations, contemptible among men.
16 住在山穴中据守山顶的啊， 论到你的威吓， 你因心中的狂傲自欺； 你虽如大鹰高高搭窝， 我却从那里拉下你来。 这是耶和华说的。
Your arrogance has deceived you, by the pride of your heart, you who live in the caverns of the rock and who strive to take hold of the height of the hill. But even if you make your nest like that of an eagle, I will pull you down from there, says the Lord.
17 “以东必令人惊骇；凡经过的人就受惊骇，又因她一切的灾祸嗤笑。
And Idumea will be a desert. Everyone who passes by it will be stupefied and will hiss over all its wounds.
18 耶和华说：必无人住在那里，也无人在其中寄居，要像所多玛、蛾摩拉，和邻近的城邑倾覆的时候一样。
Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors were overthrown, says the Lord: there will not be a man living there, and no son of man will tend it.
19 仇敌必像狮子从约旦河边的丛林上来，攻击坚固的居所。转眼之间，我要使以东人逃跑，离开这地。谁蒙拣选，我就派谁治理这地。谁能比我呢？谁能给我定规日期呢？有何牧人能在我面前站立得住呢？
Behold, he will ascend like a lion from the arrogance of the Jordan, against the robust beauty. For I will cause him to rush against her suddenly. And who will be the elect one, whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who can endure me? And who is that pastor who can withstand my countenance?
20 你们要听耶和华攻击以东所说的谋略和他攻击提幔居民所定的旨意。仇敌定要将他们群众微弱的拉去，定要使他们的居所荒凉。
Because of this, listen to the counsel of the Lord, which he has undertaken concerning Edom, and to his thoughts, which he has devised concerning the inhabitants of Teman. Certainly, the little ones of the flock will cast them down, unless they scatter them with their habitation.
21 因他们仆倒的声音，地就震动。人在红海那里必听见呼喊的声音。
The earth has been shaken at the noise of their destruction. The outcry of their voice has been heard at the Red Sea.
22 仇敌必如大鹰飞起，展开翅膀攻击波斯拉。到那日，以东的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。”
Behold, he will ascend like an eagle and will fly. And he will spread his wings over Bozrah. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Idumea will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.”
23 论大马士革。 哈马和亚珥拔蒙羞， 因他们听见凶恶的信息就消化了。 海上有忧愁，不得平静。
Against Damascus. “Hamath has been confounded, with Arpad. For they have heard a most grievous report. They have been stirred up like the sea. Because of anxiousness, they were not able to rest.
24 大马士革发软，转身逃跑。 战兢将她捉住； 痛苦忧愁将她抓住， 如产难的妇人一样。
Damascus has been broken. She has been turned to flight. Trembling has taken hold of her. Anguish and sorrows have seized her, like a woman giving birth.
25 我所喜乐可称赞的城， 为何被撇弃了呢？
How could they have abandoned the praiseworthy city, the city of rejoicing?
26 她的少年人必仆倒在街上； 当那日，一切兵丁必默默无声。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
For this reason, her young men will fall in her streets. And all the men of battle will be silenced in that day, says the Lord of hosts.
27 我必在大马士革城中使火着起， 烧灭便·哈达的宫殿。
And I will kindle a fire at the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the defensive walls of Ben-hadad.”
28 论巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所攻打的基达和夏琐的诸国。耶和华如此说： 迦勒底人哪，起来上基达去， 毁灭东方人。
Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has struck down. Thus says the Lord: “Rise up and ascend to Kedar, and lay waste to the sons of the East.
29 他们的帐棚和羊群都要夺去， 将幔子和一切器皿，并骆驼为自己掠去。 人向他们喊着说： 四围都有惊吓。
They will seize their tabernacles and their flocks. And they will take for themselves their tents, and all their vessels, and their camels. And they will call down a terror upon them on every side.
30 耶和华说： 夏琐的居民哪，要逃奔远方， 住在深密处； 因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒设计谋害你们， 起意攻击你们。
Flee, go away urgently! Sit in deep pits, you who inhabit Hazor, says the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has undertaken a counsel against you, and he has devised plans against you.
31 耶和华说： 迦勒底人哪，起来！ 上安逸无虑的居民那里去； 他们是无门无闩、独自居住的。
Rise up, and ascend to a nation that is quiet and lives in confidence, says the Lord. They have neither gates nor bars. They dwell alone.
32 他们的骆驼必成为掠物； 他们众多的牲畜必成为掳物。 我必将剃周围头发的人分散四方， 使灾殃从四围临到他们。 这是耶和华说的。
And their camels will be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle will be a prey. And I will disperse, into every wind, those who have shaved their hair. And from all their confines, I will lead great destruction over them, says the Lord.
33 夏琐必成为野狗的住处， 永远凄凉； 必无人住在那里， 也无人在其中寄居。
And Hazor will be a habitation for serpents, deserted even unto eternity. No man will abide there, nor will a son of man tend it.”
34 犹大王西底家登基的时候，耶和华论以拦的话临到先知耶利米说：
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying:
35 “万军之耶和华如此说：我必折断以拦人的弓，就是他们为首的权力。
“Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, and the summit of their strength.
36 我要使四风从天的四方刮来，临到以拦人，将他们分散四方。这被赶散的人没有一国不到的。”
And I will lead the four winds over Elam, from the four corners of heaven. And I will scatter them into all these winds. And there will be no nation to which the fugitives of Elam will not travel.
37 耶和华说：“我必使以拦人在仇敌和寻索其命的人面前惊惶；我也必使灾祸，就是我的烈怒临到他们，又必使刀剑追杀他们，直到将他们灭尽。
And I will cause Elam to be terrified before their enemies and in the sight of those who seek their life. And I will lead an evil over them, the wrath of my fury, says the Lord. And I will send the sword after them, until I consume them.
38 我要在以拦设立我的宝座，从那里除灭君王和首领。这是耶和华说的。
And I will set my throne in Elam, and I will perish the kings and princes from there, says the Lord.
39 “到末后，我还要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。”
But in the last days, I will cause the captives of Elam to return, says the Lord.”
