Jeremiah 25
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年，就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的元年，耶和华论犹大众民的话临到耶利米。
2 So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:
先知耶利米就将这话对犹大众人和耶路撒冷的一切居民说：
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
“从犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚十三年直到今日，这二十三年之内，常有耶和华的话临到我；我也对你们传说，就是从早起来传说，只是你们没有听从。
4 And the LORD has sent all His servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear.
耶和华也从早起来，差遣他的仆人众先知到你们这里来（只是你们没有听从，也没有侧耳而听），
5 The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
说：‘你们各人当回头，离开恶道和所作的恶，便可居住耶和华古时所赐给你们和你们列祖之地，直到永远。
6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’
不可随从别神事奉敬拜，以你们手所做的惹我发怒；这样，我就不加害与你们。
7 ‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’
然而你们没有听从我，竟以手所做的惹我发怒，陷害自己。这是耶和华说的。’”
8 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Because you have not obeyed My words,
所以万军之耶和华如此说：“因为你们没有听从我的话，
9 behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
我必召北方的众族和我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来攻击这地和这地的居民，并四围一切的国民。我要将他们尽行灭绝，以致他们令人惊骇、嗤笑，并且永久荒凉。这是耶和华说的。
10 Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
我又要使欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，推磨的声音和灯的亮光，从他们中间止息。
11 And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
这全地必然荒凉，令人惊骇。这些国民要服事巴比伦王七十年。
12 But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
七十年满了以后，我必刑罚巴比伦王和那国民，并迦勒底人之地，因他们的罪孽使那地永远荒凉。这是耶和华说的。
13 I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
我也必使我向那地所说的话，就是记在这书上的话，是耶利米向这些国民说的预言，都临到那地。
14 For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
因为有多国和大君王必使迦勒底人作奴仆；我也必照他们的行为，按他们手所做的报应他们。”
15 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
耶和华—以色列的 神对我如此说：“你从我手中接这杯忿怒的酒，使我所差遣你去的各国的民喝。
16 And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
他们喝了就要东倒西歪，并要发狂，因我使刀剑临到他们中间。”
17 So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
我就从耶和华的手中接了这杯，给耶和华所差遣我去的各国的民喝，
18 to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;
就是耶路撒冷和犹大的城邑，并耶路撒冷的君王与首领，使这城邑荒凉，令人惊骇、嗤笑、咒诅，正如今日一样。
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
又有埃及王法老和他的臣仆、首领，以及他的众民，
20 all the mixed tribes; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
并杂族的人民和乌斯地的诸王，与非利士地的诸王（亚实基伦、迦萨、以革伦，以及亚实突剩下的人）；
21 Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
以东、摩押、亚扪人、
22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;
泰尔的诸王、西顿的诸王、海岛的诸王、
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;
底但、提玛、布斯，和一切剃周围头发的；
24 all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;
阿拉伯的诸王、住旷野杂族人民的诸王、
25 all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
心利的诸王、以拦的诸王、米底亚的诸王、
26 all the kings of the north, both near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach will drink it too.
北方远近的诸王，以及天下地上的万国喝了，以后示沙克王也要喝。
27 “Then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, because of the sword I will send among you.’
“你要对他们说：‘万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：你们要喝，且要喝醉，要呕吐，且要跌倒，不得再起来，都因我使刀剑临到你们中间。’
28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘You most certainly must drink it!
“他们若不肯从你手接这杯喝，你就要对他们说：‘万军之耶和华如此说：你们一定要喝！
29 For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.’
我既从称为我名下的城起首施行灾祸，你们能尽免刑罚吗？你们必不能免，因为我要命刀剑临到地上一切的居民。这是万军之耶和华说的。’
30 So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“所以你要向他们预言这一切的话，攻击他们，说： 耶和华必从高天吼叫， 从圣所发声， 向自己的羊群大声吼叫； 他要向地上一切的居民呐喊， 像踹葡萄的一样。
31 The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’”
必有响声达到地极， 因为耶和华与列国相争； 凡有血气的，他必审问； 至于恶人，他必交给刀剑。 这是耶和华说的。
32 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
万军之耶和华如此说： 看哪，必有灾祸从这国发到那国， 并有大暴风从地极刮起。
33 Those slain by the LORD on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.
“到那日，从地这边直到地那边都有耶和华所杀戮的。必无人哀哭，不得收殓，不得葬埋，必在地上成为粪土。
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For the days of your slaughter have come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
牧人哪，你们当哀号，呼喊； 群众的头目啊，你们要滚在灰中； 因为你们被杀戮分散的日子足足来到。 你们要跌碎，好像美器打碎一样。
35 Flight will evade the shepherds, and escape will elude the leaders of the flock.
牧人无路逃跑； 群众的头目也无法逃脱。
36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.
听啊，有牧人呼喊， 有群众头目哀号的声音， 因为耶和华使他们的草场变为荒场。
37 The peaceful meadows have been silenced because of the LORD’s burning anger.
耶和华发出猛烈的怒气， 平安的羊圈就都寂静无声。
38 He has left His den like a lion, for their land has been made a desolation by the sword of the oppressor, and because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
他离了隐密处像狮子一样， 他们的地，因刀剑凶猛的欺压， 又因他猛烈的怒气都成为可惊骇的。”
