< Jeremiah 49 >

1 Unto the children of Ammon thus saith the Lord, Hath Israel no sonnes? or hath he none heire? Why then hath their king possessed God? and his people dwelt in his cities?
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?
2 Therefore beholde the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that I will cause a noyse of warre to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites, and it shall be a desolate heape, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire: then shall Israel possesse those that possessed him, sayeth the Lord.
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。
3 Howle, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted: crie ye daughters of Rabbah: girde you with sackecloth: mourne and runne to and from by the hedges: for their King shall goe into captiuitie; and his Priestes, and his princes likewise.
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。
4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleis? thy valley floweth away, O rebellious daughter: she trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come vnto me?
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?
5 Beholde, I will bring a feare vpon thee, sayth the Lord God of hostes, of all those that be about thee, and ye shalbe scattered euery man right foorth, and none shall gather him that fleeth.
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。
6 And afterward I will bring againe the captiuitie of the children of Ammon.
后来我还要使被掳的亚扪人归回。 这是耶和华说的。
7 To Edom thus sayeth the Lord of hostes: Is wisdome no more in Teman? is counsel perished from their children? is their wisdome vanished?
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?
8 Flee, ye inhabitants of Dedan (they are turned backe, and haue consulted to dwell) for I haue brought the destruction of Esau vpon him, and the time of his visitation.
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。
9 If the grape gatherers come to thee, would they not leaue some grapes? if theeues come by night, they will destroy till they haue ynough.
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?
10 For I haue discouered Esau: I haue vncouered his secrets, and he shall not be able to hide himselfe: his seede is wasted, and his brethren and his neighbours, and there shall be none to say,
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。
11 Leaue thy fathers children, and I will preserue them aliue, and let thy widowes trust in me.
你撇下孤儿,我必保全他们的命; 你的寡妇可以倚靠我。
12 For thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, they whose iudgement was not to drinke of the cuppe, haue assuredly drunken, and art thou he that shall escape free? thou shalt not goe free, but thou shalt surely drinke of it.
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!”
13 For I haue sworne by my selfe, sayeth the Lord, that Bozrah shall be waste, and for a reproche, and a desolation, and a curse, and all the cities thereof shall be perpetuall desolations.
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。”
14 I haue heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent vnto the heathen, saying, Gather you together, and come against her, and rise vp to the battell.
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。
15 For loe, I will make thee but small among the heathen, and despised among men.
我使你在列国中为最小, 在世人中被藐视。
16 Thy feare, and ye pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee, thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rocke, and keepest the height of ye hil: though thou shouldest make thy nest as hie as the eagle, I wil bring thee downe from thece, sayth the Lord.
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。
17 Also Edom shall be desolate: euery one that goeth by it, shall be astonished, and shall hisse at all the plagues thereof,
“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。
18 As in the ouerthrowe of Sodom, and of Gomorah, and the places thereof neere about, saieth the Lord: no man shall dwell there, neither shall the sonnes of men remaine in it.
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。
19 Beholde, hee shall come vp like a lyon from the swelling of Iorden vnto the strong dwelling place: for I will make Israel to rest, euen I will make him to haste away from her, and who is a chosen man that I may appoynt against her? for who is like mee? and who will appoint me the time? and who is the shepheard that will stande before me?
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?
20 Therefore heare the counsell of the Lord that hee hath deuised against Edom, and his purpose that hee hath conceiued against the inhabitants of Teman: surely the least of the flocke shall drawe them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
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。
21 The earth is mooued at the noyse of their fall: the crie of their voice is heard in the red Sea.
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。
22 Behold, he shall come vp, and flie as the Egle, and spreade his wings ouer Bozrah, and at that day shall the heart of the strong men of Edome be as the heart of a woman in trauaile.
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。”
23 Vnto Damascus he sayeth, Hamath is confounded and Arpad, for they haue heard euill tidings, and they are faint hearted as one on the fearefull sea that can not rest.
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。
24 Damascus is discouraged, and turneth her selfe to flight and feare hath seased her: anguish and sorowes haue taken her as a woman in trauaile.
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。
25 How is the glorious citie not reserued, the citie of my ioy?
我所喜乐可称赞的城, 为何被撇弃了呢?
26 Therefore her yong men shall fall in her streetes, and all her men of warre shall be cut off in that day, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
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。
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, which shall cosume the palaces of Benhadad.
我必在大马士革城中使火着起, 烧灭便·哈达的宫殿。
28 Vnto Kedar, and to the kingdomes of Hazor, which Nebuchad-nezzar, king of Babel shall smite, thus sayeth the Lord, Arise, and goe vp vnto Kedar, and destroy the men of the East.
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。
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: yea, they shall take to themselues their curtaines and all their vessels, and their camels, and they shall crie vnto them, Feare is on euery side.
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。
30 Flee, get you farre off (they haue consulted to dwell) O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord: for Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel hath taken counsell against you, and hath deuised a purpose against you.
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。
31 Arise, and get you vp vnto the welthy nation that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which haue neither gates nor barres, but dwel alone.
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。
32 And their camels shall be a bootie, and the multitude of their cattel a spoile, and I will scatter them into all windes, and to the vtmost corners, and I will bring their destruction from al the sides thereof, sayeth the Lord.
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。
33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and desolation for euer: there shall no man dwell there, nor the sonnes of men remaine in it.
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。
34 The woordes of the Lord that came to Ieremiah the Prophet, concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reigne of Zedekiah King of Iudah, saying,
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:
35 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will breake the bowe of Elam, euen the chiefe of their strength.
“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。
36 And vpon Elam I will bring the foure windes from the foure quarters of heauen, and will scatter them towardes all these windes, and there shall bee no nation, whither the fugitiues of Elam shall not come.
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。”
37 For I will cause Elam to be afraied before their enemies, and before them that seeke their liues, and will bring vpon them a plague, euen the indignation of my wrath, saieth the Lord, and I wil sende the sworde after them till I haue consumed them.
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。
38 And I wil set my throne in Elam, and I wil destroy both the King and the princes from thence, saith the Lord:
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。
39 but in the latter daies I wil bring againe the captiuitie of Elam, sayeth the Lord.
“到末后,我还要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。”
