Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the Lord spake, concerning Babel, and cocerning the land of the Caldeans by the ministerie of Ieremiah the Prophet.
耶和华借先知耶利米论巴比伦和迦勒底人之地所说的话。
2 Declare among the nations, and publish it, and set vp a standart, proclaime it and conceale it not: say, Babel is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken downe: her idols are confounded, and their images are burst in pieces.
你们要在万国中传扬报告， 竖立大旗； 要报告，不可隐瞒，说： 巴比伦被攻取， 彼勒蒙羞， 米罗达惊惶。 巴比伦的神像都蒙羞； 她的偶像都惊惶。
3 For out of the North there commeth vp a nation against her, which shall make her lande waste, and none shall dwel therein: they shall flee, and depart, both man and beast.
“因有一国从北方上来攻击她，使她的地荒凉，无人居住，连人带牲畜都逃走了。”
4 In those daies, and at that time, sayeth the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they, and the children of Iudah together, going, and weeping shall they goe, and seeke the Lord their God.
耶和华说：“当那日子、那时候，以色列人要和犹大人同来，随走随哭，寻求耶和华—他们的 神。
5 They shall aske the way to Zion, with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let vs cleaue to the Lord in a perpetuall couenant that shall not be forgotten.
他们必访问锡安，又面向这里，说：‘来吧，你们要与耶和华联合为永远不忘的约。’
6 My people hath beene as lost sheepe: their shepheards haue caused them to goe astray, and haue turned them away to the mountaines: they haue gone from mountaine to hil, and forgotten their resting place.
“我的百姓作了迷失的羊，牧人使他们走差路，使他们转到山上。他们从大山走到小山，竟忘了安歇之处。
7 Al that found them, haue deuoured them, and their enemies saide, We offende not, because they haue sinned against the Lord, the habitation of iustice, euen the Lord the hope of their fathers.
凡遇见他们的，就把他们吞灭。敌人说：‘我们没有罪；因他们得罪那作公义居所的耶和华，就是他们列祖所仰望的耶和华。’
8 Flee from the middes of Babel, and depart out of the lande of the Caldeans, and be ye as the hee goates before the flocke.
“我民哪，你们要从巴比伦中逃走，从迦勒底人之地出去，要像羊群前面走的公山羊。
9 For loe, I will raise, and cause to come vp against Babel a multitude of mightie natios from the North countrey, and they shall set themselues in aray against her, whereby shee shall be taken: their arrowes shall be as of a strong man, which is expert, for none shall returne in vaine.
因我必激动联合的大国从北方上来攻击巴比伦，他们要摆阵攻击她；她必从那里被攻取。他们的箭好像善射之勇士的箭，一枝也不徒然返回。
10 And Caldea shalbe a spoyle: all that spoyle her, shalbe satisfied, sayth the Lord.
迦勒底必成为掠物；凡掳掠她的都必心满意足。这是耶和华说的。”
11 Because yee were glad and reioyced in destroying mine heritage, and because ye are growen fatte, as the calues in the grasse, and neied like strong horses,
抢夺我产业的啊， 你们因欢喜快乐， 且像踹谷撒欢的母牛犊， 又像发嘶声的壮马。
12 Therefore your mother shall bee sore confounded, and she that bare you, shall be ashamed: beholde, the vttermost of the nations shalbe a desert, a drie land, and a wildernes.
你们的母巴比伦就极其抱愧， 生你们的必然蒙羞。 她要列在诸国之末， 成为旷野、旱地、沙漠。
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but shall be wholy desolate: euery one that goeth by Babel, shall be astonished, and hisse at all her plagues.
因耶和华的忿怒，必无人居住， 要全然荒凉。 凡经过巴比伦的要受惊骇， 又因她所遭的灾殃嗤笑。
14 Put your selues in aray against Babel rounde about: all ye that bende the bowe, shoote at her, spare no arrowes: for shee hath sinned against the Lord.
所有拉弓的，你们要在巴比伦的四围摆阵， 射箭攻击她。 不要爱惜箭枝， 因她得罪了耶和华。
15 Crie against her round about: she hath giuen her hand: her foundations are fallen, and her walles are destroyed: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance vpon her: as she hath done, doe vnto her.
你们要在她四围呐喊； 她已经投降。 外郭坍塌了， 城墙拆毁了， 因为这是耶和华报仇的事。 你们要向巴比伦报仇； 她怎样待人，也要怎样待她。
16 Destroy the sower from Babel, and him that handleth the sieth in the time of haruest: because of the sworde of the oppressor they shall turne euery one to his people, and they shall flee euery one to his owne land.
你们要将巴比伦撒种的 和收割时拿镰刀的都剪除了。 他们各人因怕欺压的刀剑， 必归回本族，逃到本土。
17 Israel is like scattered sheepe: the lions haue dispersed them: first the King of Asshur hath deuoured him, and last this Nebuchad-nezzar King, of Babel hath broken his bones.
“以色列是打散的羊，是被狮子赶出的。首先是亚述王将他吞灭，末后是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将他的骨头折断。”
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Behold, I wil visit ye King of Babel, and his land, as I haue visited the King of Asshur.
所以万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：“我必罚巴比伦王和他的地，像我从前罚亚述王一样。
19 And I will bring Israel againe to his habitation: hee shall feede on Carmel and Bashan, and his soule shall be satisfied vpon the mount Ephraim and Gilead.
我必再领以色列回他的草场，他必在迦密和巴珊吃草，又在以法莲山上和基列境内得以饱足。”
20 In those daies, and at that time, sayeth the Lord, the iniquitie of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sinnes of Iudah, and they shall not be founde: for I will be mercifull vnto them, whome I reserue.
耶和华说：“当那日子、那时候，虽寻以色列的罪孽，一无所有；虽寻犹大的罪恶，也无所见；因为我所留下的人，我必赦免。”
21 Goe vp against the lande of the rebelles, euen against it, and against the inhabitantes of Pekod: destroy, and lay it waste after them, saieth the Lord, and doe according to all that I haue commanded thee.
耶和华说：上去攻击米拉大翁之地， 又攻击比割的居民。 要追杀灭尽， 照我一切所吩咐你的去行。
22 A crie of battell is in the land, and of great destruction.
境内有打仗和大毁灭的响声。
23 Howe is the hammer of the whole world destroied, and broken! howe is Babel become desolate among the nations!
全地的大锤何竟砍断破坏？ 巴比伦在列国中何竟荒凉？
24 I haue snared thee, and thou art taken, O Babel, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striuen against the Lord.
巴比伦哪，我为你设下网罗， 你不知不觉被缠住。 你被寻着，也被捉住； 因为你与耶和华争竞。
25 The Lord hath opened his treasure, and hath brought foorth the weapons of his wrath: for this is the woorke of the Lord God of hostes in the lande of the Caldeans.
耶和华已经开了武库， 拿出他恼恨的兵器； 因为主—万军之耶和华 在迦勒底人之地有当做的事。
26 Come against her from the vtmost border: open her store houses: treade on her as on sheaues, and destroy her vtterly: let nothing of her be left.
你们要从极远的边界来攻击她， 开她的仓廪， 将她堆如高堆， 毁灭净尽，丝毫不留。
27 Destroy all her bullockes: let them goe downe to the slaughter. Wo vnto them, for their day is come, and the time of their visitation.
要杀她的一切牛犊， 使他们下去遭遇杀戮。 他们有祸了， 因为追讨他们的日子已经来到。 （
28 The voyce of them that flee, and escape out of the lande of Babel to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, and the vengeance of his Temple.
有从巴比伦之地逃避出来的人，在锡安扬声报告耶和华—我们的 神报仇，就是为他的殿报仇。）
29 Call vp the archers against Babel: al ye that bend the bow, besiege it rounde about: let none thereof escape: recompence her according to her worke, and according to all that she hath done, doe vnto her: for she hath bene proud against the Lord, euen against the holy one of Israel.
“招集一切弓箭手来攻击巴比伦。要在巴比伦四围安营，不要容一人逃脱，照着她所做的报应她；她怎样待人，也要怎样待她，因为她向耶和华—以色列的圣者发了狂傲。
30 Therefore shall her yong men fall in the streetes, and al her men of warre shalbe destroied in that day, sayeth the Lord.
所以她的少年人必仆倒在街上。当那日，一切兵丁必默默无声。这是耶和华说的。”
31 Beholde, I come vnto thee, O proude man, saith the Lord God of hostes: for thy day is come, euen the time that I will visite thee.
主—万军之耶和华说： 你这狂傲的啊，我与你反对， 因为我追讨你的日子已经来到。
32 And the proude shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him vp: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall deuoure all round about him.
狂傲的必绊跌仆倒，无人扶起。 我也必使火在他的城邑中着起来， 将他四围所有的尽行烧灭。
33 Thus saieth the Lord of hosts, The children of Israel, and the children of Iudah were oppressed together: and all that tooke them captiues, held them, and would not let them goe.
万军之耶和华如此说：“以色列人和犹大人一同受欺压；凡掳掠他们的都紧紧抓住他们，不肯释放。
34 But their strong redeemer, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, he shall maintaine their cause, that he may giue rest to the lande, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babel.
他们的救赎主大有能力，万军之耶和华是他的名。他必伸清他们的冤，好使全地得平安，并搅扰巴比伦的居民。”
35 A sworde is vpon the Caldeans, sayeth the Lord, and vpon the inhabitants of Babel, and vpon her princes, and vpon her wise men.
耶和华说：“有刀剑临到迦勒底人和巴比伦的居民， 并她的首领与智慧人。
36 A sworde is vpon the soothsaiers, and they shall dote: a sword is vpon her strong men, and they shalbe afraide.
有刀剑临到矜夸的人， 他们就成为愚昧； 有刀剑临到她的勇士， 他们就惊惶。
37 A sworde is vpon their horses and vpon their charets, and vpon all the multitude that are in the middes of her, and they shall be like women: a sworde is vpon her treasures, and they shall be spoyled.
有刀剑临到她的马匹、车辆， 和其中杂族的人民； 他们必像妇女一样。 有刀剑临到她的宝物， 就被抢夺。
38 A drought is vpon her waters, and they shall be dried vp: for it is the lande of grauen images, and they dote vpon their idoles.
有干旱临到她的众水， 就必干涸； 因为这是有雕刻偶像之地， 人因偶像而颠狂。
39 Therefore the Ziims with the Iims shall dwel there, and the ostriches shall dwel therein: for it shall be no more inhabited, neither shall it be inhabited from generation vnto generation.
所以旷野的走兽和豺狼必住在那里，鸵鸟也住在其中，永无人烟，世世代代无人居住。”
40 As God destroied Sodom and Gomorah with the places thereof neere about, sayeth the Lord: so shall no man dwell theere, neither shall the sonne of man remaine therein.
耶和华说：“必无人住在那里，也无人在其中寄居，要像我倾覆所多玛、蛾摩拉，和邻近的城邑一样。
41 Beholde, a people shall come from the North, and a great nation, and many Kings shall be raised vp from the coastes of the earth.
看哪，有一种民从北方而来， 并有一大国和许多君王被激动，从地极来到。
42 They shall holde the bowe and the buckeler: they are cruell and vnmercifull: their voyce shall roare like the sea, and they shall ride vpon horses, and be put in aray like men to the battell against thee, O daughter of Babel.
他们拿弓和枪， 性情残忍，不施怜悯； 他们的声音像海浪匉訇。 巴比伦城啊， 他们骑马， 都摆队伍如上战场的人， 要攻击你。
43 The King of Babel hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: sorow came vpon him, euen sorowe as of a woman in trauaile.
巴比伦王听见他们的风声， 手就发软， 痛苦将他抓住， 疼痛仿佛产难的妇人。
44 Beholde, hee shall come vp like a lyon from the swelling of Iorden vnto the strong habitation: for I will make Israel to rest, and I will make them to haste away from her: and who is a chosen man that I may appoynt against her? for who is like me, and who will appoynt 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，我要使他们逃跑，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？
45 Therefore heare the counsell of the Lord that hee hath deuised against Babel, and his purpose that hee hath conceiued against the lande of the Caldeans: surely the least of the flocke shall drawe them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
你们要听耶和华攻击巴比伦所说的谋略和他攻击迦勒底人之地所定的旨意。仇敌定要将他们群众微弱的拉去，定要使他们的居所荒凉。
46 At the noyse of the winning of Babel the earth is moued, and the crye is heard among the nations.
因巴比伦被取的声音，地就震动，人在列邦都听见呼喊的声音。”
