< Jeremias 48 >

1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month that Ismael the son of Nathanias the son of Eleasa of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, to Godolias to Massepha: and they ate bread there together.
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;
2 And Ismael rose up, and the ten men that were with him, and struck Godolias, whom the king of Babylon had appointed [governor] over the land,
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。
3 and all the Jews that were with him in Massepha, and all the Chaldeans that were found there.
从何罗念有喊荒凉大毁灭的哀声:
4 And it came to pass on the second day after he had struck Godolias, and no man knew [of it],
摩押毁灭了! 她的孩童发哀声,使人听见。
5 that there came men from Sychem, and from Salem, and from Samaria, [even] eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes tore, and beating their breasts, and [they had] manna and frankincense in their hands, to bring [them] into the house of the Lord.
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。
6 And Ismael went out to meet them; [and] they went on and wept: and he said to them, Come in to Godolias.
你们要奔逃,自救性命, 独自居住,好像旷野的杜松。
7 And it came to pass, when they had entered into the midst of the city, [that] he killed them [and cast them] into a pit.
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。
8 But ten men were found there, and they said to Ismael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, wheat and barley, honey and oil. So he passed by, and killed them not in the midst of their brethren.
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。
9 Now the pit into which Ismael cast all whom he struck, is the great pit, which king Asa had made for fear of Baasa king of Israel: [even] this Ismael filled with slain men.
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。 (
10 And Ismael brought back all the people that were left in Massepha, and the king's daughter, whom the captain of the guard had committed in charge to Godolias the son of Achicam: and he went away beyond the children of Ammon.
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。)
11 And Joanan the son of Caree, and all the leaders of the host that were with him, heard of all the evil deeds which Ismael had done.
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。
12 And they brought all their army, and went to fight against him, and found him near much water in Gabaon.
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。
13 And it came to pass, when all the people that was with Ismael saw Joanan, and the leaders of the host that was with him,
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。
14 that they returned to Joanan.
你们怎么说: 我们是勇士,是有勇力打仗的呢?
15 But Ismael escaped with eight men and went to the children of Ammon.
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。
16 And Joanan, and all the leaders of the host that were with him, took all the remnant of the people, whom he [had] brought back from Ismael, mighty men in war, and the women, and the other [property], and the eunuchs, whom they [had] brought back from Gabaon:
摩押的灾殃临近; 她的苦难速速来到。
17 and they departed, and lived in Gaberoch-amaa, that is by Bethleem, to go into Egypt, for fear of the Chaldeans:
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?
18 for they were afraid of them, because Ismael had struck Godolias, whom the king of Babylon made [governor] in the land.
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。
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?
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!
“刑罚临到平原之地的何伦、雅杂、米法押、
底本、尼波、伯·低比拉太音、
基列亭、伯·迦末、伯·米恩、
加略、波斯拉,和摩押地远近所有的城邑。
摩押的角砍断了,摩押的膀臂折断了。这是耶和华说的。”
“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。
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。
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。
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。
耶和华说: 我知道他的忿怒是虚空的; 他夸大的话一无所成。
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。
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。
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。
“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。”
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。
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。
“各人头上光秃,胡须剪短,手有划伤,腰束麻布。
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。
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。”
耶和华如此说: 仇敌必如大鹰飞起, 展开翅膀,攻击摩押。
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。
摩押必被毁灭,不再成国, 因她向耶和华夸大。
耶和华说:摩押的居民哪, 恐惧、陷坑、网罗都临近你。
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。
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。
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。
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。
