Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is put to shame; it is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
論摩押。萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說： 尼波有禍了！因變為荒場。 基列亭蒙羞被攻取； 米斯迦蒙羞被毀壞；
2 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. Thou also, O madmen, shall be brought to silence. The sword shall pursue thee.
摩押不再被稱讚。 有人在希實本設計謀害她，說： 來吧！我們將她剪除，不再成國。 瑪得緬哪，你也必默默無聲； 刀劍必追趕你。
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim: Desolation and great destruction!
從何羅念有喊荒涼大毀滅的哀聲：
4 Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
摩押毀滅了！ 她的孩童發哀聲，使人聽見。
5 For they shall go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping, for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
人上魯希坡隨走隨哭， 因為在何羅念的下坡聽見毀滅的哀聲。
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
你們要奔逃，自救性命， 獨自居住，好像曠野的杜松。
7 For, because thou have trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his rulers together.
你因倚靠自己所做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 And the destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape. The valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as Jehovah has spoken.
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 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away. And her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
要將翅膀給摩押， 使她可以飛去。 她的城邑必致荒涼， 無人居住。 （
10 Cursed be he who does the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.
懶惰為耶和華行事的，必受咒詛；禁止刀劍不經血的，必受咒詛。）
11 Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
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 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, 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.
耶和華說：「日子將到，我必打發倒酒的往她那裏去，將她倒出來，倒空她的器皿，打碎她的罈子。
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
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 How can ye say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
你們怎麼說： 我們是勇士，是有勇力打仗的呢？
15 Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities. And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
摩押變為荒場， 敵人上去進了她的城邑。 她所特選的少年人下去遭了殺戮； 這是君王－名為萬軍之耶和華說的。
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens fast.
摩押的災殃臨近； 她的苦難速速來到。
17 All ye who are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye who know his name, say, How the strong staff has broken, the beautiful rod!
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 O thou daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, for the destroyer of Moab has come up against thee. He has destroyed thy strongholds.
住在底本的民哪， 要從你榮耀的位上下來， 坐受乾渴； 因毀滅摩押的上來攻擊你， 毀壞了你的保障。
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes. Say, What has been done?
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 Moab is put to shame, for it is broken down. Wail and cry, tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
摩押因毀壞蒙羞； 你們要哀號呼喊， 要在亞嫩旁報告說： 摩押變為荒場！
21 And judgment has come upon the plain country: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
「刑罰臨到平原之地的何倫、雅雜、米法押、
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
底本、尼波、伯‧低比拉太音、
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
基列亭、伯‧迦末、伯‧米恩、
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
加略、波斯拉，和摩押地遠近所有的城邑。
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Jehovah.
摩押的角砍斷了，摩押的膀臂折斷了。這是耶和華說的。」
26 Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah. And Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
「你們要使摩押沉醉，因她向耶和華誇大。她要在自己所吐之中打滾，又要被人嗤笑。
27 For was not Israel a derision to thee? Was he found among thieves? For as often as thou speak of him, thou wag the head.
摩押啊，你不曾嗤笑以色列嗎？她豈是在賊中查出來的呢？你每逢提到她便搖頭。
28 O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of an abyss.
摩押的居民哪， 要離開城邑，住在山崖裏， 像鴿子在深淵口上搭窩。
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud, his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
我們聽說摩押人驕傲， 是極其驕傲； 聽說他自高自傲， 並且狂妄，居心自大。
30 I know his wrath, says Jehovah, that it is nothing. His boastings have wrought nothing.
耶和華說： 我知道他的忿怒是虛空的； 他誇大的話一無所成。
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab, yea, I will cry out for all Moab. For they shall mourn the men of Kir-heres.
因此，我要為摩押哀號， 為摩押全地呼喊； 人必為吉珥‧哈列設人歎息。
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah. Thy branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
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 And 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 winepresses. None shall tread with shouting. The shouting shall be no shouting.
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； 那歡呼卻變為仇敵的吶喊。
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
「希實本人發的哀聲達到以利亞利，直達到雅雜；從瑣珥達到何羅念，直到伊基拉‧施利施亞，因為寧林的水必然乾涸。」
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says Jehovah, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
耶和華說：「我必在摩押地使那在邱壇獻祭的，和那向他的神燒香的都斷絕了。
36 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.
我心腹為摩押哀鳴如簫，我心腸為吉珥‧哈列設人也是如此，因摩押人所得的財物都滅沒了。
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. Upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
「各人頭上光禿，鬍鬚剪短，手有劃傷，腰束麻布。
38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation everywhere. For I have broken Moab like a vessel of which none delights, says Jehovah.
在摩押的各房頂上和街市上處處有人哀哭；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 How it is broken down! How they do wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So Moab shall become a derision and a horror to all who are round about him.
摩押何等毀壞！何等哀號！何等羞愧轉背！這樣，摩押必令四圍的人嗤笑驚駭。」
40 For thus says Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
耶和華如此說： 仇敵必如大鷹飛起， 展開翅膀，攻擊摩押。
41 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.
加略被攻取，保障也被佔據。 到那日，摩押的勇士心中疼痛如臨產的婦人。
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.
摩押必被毀滅，不再成國， 因她向耶和華誇大。
43 Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, says Jehovah.
耶和華說：摩押的居民哪， 恐懼、陷坑、網羅都臨近你。
44 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 upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, says Jehovah.
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 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 midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
躲避的人無力站在希實本的影下； 因為有火從希實本發出， 有火焰出於西宏的城， 燒盡摩押的角和鬨嚷人的頭頂。
46 Woe to thee, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone, for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.
摩押啊，你有禍了！ 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 Yet I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
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。
