Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Sorrow on Nebo, for it has been made waste; Kiriathaim has been put to shame and is taken: the strong place 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 has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.
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 There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;
從何羅念有喊荒涼大毀滅的哀聲：
4 Moab is broken; her cry has gone out to Zoar.
摩押毀滅了！ 她的孩童發哀聲，使人聽見。
5 For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.
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 Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.
你們要奔逃，自救性命， 獨自居住，好像曠野的杜松。
7 For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, 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 attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.
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 Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.
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 Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed 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 From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.
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 So truly, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send to him men who will have him turned over till there is no more wine in his vessels, and his wine-skins will be completely broken.
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 will be shamed on account of Chemosh, as the children of Israel were shamed on account of Beth-el their hope.
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 say you, We are men of war and strong fighters?
你們怎麼說： 我們是勇士，是有勇力打仗的呢？
15 He who makes Moab waste has gone up against her; and the best of her young men have gone down to their death, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.
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 fate of Moab is near, and trouble is coming on him very quickly.
摩押的災殃臨近； 她的苦難速速來到。
17 All you who are round about him, give signs of grief for him, and all you who have knowledge of his name, say, How is the strong rod broken, even the beautiful branch!
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 Come down from your glory, O people of Dibon, and take your seat in the place of the waste; for the attacker of Moab has gone up against you, sending destruction on your strong places.
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 daughter of Aroer, take your station by the way, on the watch: questioning him who is in flight, and her who has got away safe, 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 has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made 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 punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
「刑罰臨到平原之地的何倫、雅雜、米法押、
22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,
底本、尼波、伯‧低比拉太音、
23 And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,
基列亭、伯‧迦末、伯‧米恩、
24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, far and 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 the Lord.
摩押的角砍斷了，摩押的膀臂折斷了。這是耶和華說的。」
26 Make him full of wine, for his heart has been lifted up against the Lord: and Moab will be rolling in the food he was not able to keep down, and everyone will be making sport of him.
「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 did you not make sport of Israel? was he taken among thieves? for whenever you were talking about him, you were shaking your head over him.
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 people of Moab, go away from the towns and take cover in the rock; be like the dove of the Arabah, which makes her living-place in holes.
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 had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride; and his great opinion of himself, and that his heart is lifted up.
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 have knowledge of his wrath, says the Lord, that it is nothing; his high-sounding words have done 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 For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for 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 My weeping for you, O vine of Sibmah, will be more than the weeping of Jazer: your branches have gone over the sea, stretching even to Jazer: destruction has come down on your summer fruits and your cut grapes.
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 All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.
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 The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.
「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 And I will put an end in Moab, says the Lord, to him who is making offerings in the high place and burning perfumes 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 So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.
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 everywhere the hair of the head and the hair of the face is cut off: on every hand there are wounds, and haircloth on every body.
「各人頭上光禿，鬍鬚剪短，手有劃傷，腰束麻布。
38 On all the house-tops of Moab and in its streets there is weeping everywhere; for Moab has been broken like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.
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 is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone 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 the Lord has said, See, he will come like an eagle in flight, stretching 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 strong places have been forced, and the hearts of Moab's men of war in that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
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 will come to an end as a people, because he has been lifting himself up against the Lord.
摩押必被毀滅，不再成國， 因她向耶和華誇大。
43 Fear and death and the net have come on you, O people of Moab, says the Lord.
耶和華說：摩押的居民哪， 恐懼、陷坑、網羅都臨近你。
44 He who goes in flight from the fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for I will make this come on Moab, even the year of their punishment, says the Lord.
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 went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent 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 Sorrow is yours, O Moab! the people of Chemosh are overcome: for your sons have been taken away as prisoners, and your daughters made servants.
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 But still, I will let the fate of Moab be changed in the last days, says the Lord.
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。
