Jeremiah 25
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah—it [is] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—
猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年，就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的元年，耶和華論猶大眾民的話臨到耶利米。
2 Which Jeremiah the prophet has spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
先知耶利米就將這話對猶大眾人和耶路撒冷的一切居民說：
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and to this day—this twenty-third year—the word of YHWH has been to me, and I speak to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened;
「從猶大王亞們的兒子約西亞十三年直到今日，這二十三年之內，常有耶和華的話臨到我；我也對你們傳說，就是從早起來傳說，只是你們沒有聽從。
4 and YHWH has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying,
耶和華也從早起來，差遣他的僕人眾先知到你們這裏來（只是你們沒有聽從，也沒有側耳而聽），
5 Please turn back, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers from age to age,
說：『你們各人當回頭，離開惡道和所作的惡，便可居住耶和華古時所賜給你們和你們列祖之地，直到永遠。
6 and you do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do you provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;
不可隨從別神事奉敬拜，以你們手所做的惹我發怒；這樣，我就不加害與你們。
7 and you have not listened to Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
然而你們沒有聽從我，竟以手所做的惹我發怒，陷害自己。這是耶和華說的。』」
8 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: Because that you have not obeyed My words,
所以萬軍之耶和華如此說：「因為你們沒有聽從我的話，
9 behold, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north—a declaration of YHWH—even to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for continuous ruins.
我必召北方的眾族和我僕人巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒來攻擊這地和這地的居民，並四圍一切的國民。我要將他們盡行滅絕，以致他們令人驚駭、嗤笑，並且永久荒涼。這是耶和華說的。
10 And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
我又要使歡喜和快樂的聲音，新郎和新婦的聲音，推磨的聲音和燈的亮光，從他們中間止息。
11 And all this land has been for a desolation, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.
這全地必然荒涼，令人驚駭。這些國民要服事巴比倫王七十年。
12 And it has come to pass, at the fullness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation,” a declaration of YHWH, “their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for continuous desolations.
七十年滿了以後，我必刑罰巴比倫王和那國民，並迦勒底人之地，因他們的罪孽使那地永遠荒涼。這是耶和華說的。
13 And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this scroll, that Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.
我也必使我向那地所說的話，就是記在這書上的話，是耶利米向這些國民說的預言，都臨到那地。
14 For laid service on them—also them—have many nations and great kings, and I have given repayment to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.”
因為有多國和大君王必使迦勒底人作奴僕；我也必照他們的行為，按他們手所做的報應他們。」
15 For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: “Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you;
耶和華－以色列的上帝對我如此說：「你從我手中接這杯忿怒的酒，使我所差遣你去的各國的民喝。
16 and they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.”
他們喝了就要東倒西歪，並要發狂，因我使刀劍臨到他們中間。」
17 And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH sent me:
我就從耶和華的手中接了這杯，給耶和華所差遣我去的各國的民喝，
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to ruin, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day;
就是耶路撒冷和猶大的城邑，並耶路撒冷的君王與首領，使這城邑荒涼，令人驚駭、嗤笑、咒詛，正如今日一樣。
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
又有埃及王法老和他的臣僕、首領，以及他的眾民，
20 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,
並雜族的人民和烏斯地的諸王，與非利士地的諸王（亞實基倫、迦薩、以革倫，以及亞實突剩下的人）；
21 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
以東、摩押、亞捫人、
22 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Sidon, And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,
泰爾的諸王、西頓的諸王、海島的諸王、
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
底但、提瑪、布斯，和一切剃周圍頭髮的；
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
阿拉伯的諸王、住曠野雜族人民的諸王、
25 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
心利的諸王、以攔的諸王、米底亞的諸王、
26 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off to one another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And King Sheshach drinks after them.
北方遠近的諸王，以及天下地上的萬國喝了，以後示沙克王也要喝。
27 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Drink, indeed drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and do not rise, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
「你要對他們說：『萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：你們要喝，且要喝醉，要嘔吐，且要跌倒，不得再起來，都因我使刀劍臨到你們中間。』
28 And it has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: You certainly drink.
「他們若不肯從你手接這杯喝，你就要對他們說：『萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們一定要喝！
29 For behold, in the city over which My Name is called, I am beginning to bring ruin, And are you entirely acquitted? You are not acquitted, for I am proclaiming a sword, For all inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
我既從稱為我名下的城起首施行災禍，你們能盡免刑罰嗎？你們必不能免，因為我要命刀劍臨到地上一切的居民。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。』
30 “And you, you prophesy all these words to them, and have said to them: YHWH roars from the high place, And gives forth His voice from His holy habitation, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as those treading [the grapes], God answers all the inhabitants of the land,
「所以你要向他們預言這一切的話，攻擊他們，說： 耶和華必從高天吼叫， 從聖所發聲， 向自己的羊群大聲吼叫； 他要向地上一切的居民吶喊， 像踹葡萄的一樣。
31 A rumbling has come to the end of the earth, For YHWH has a controversy with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, He has given the wicked to the sword,” A declaration of YHWH.
必有響聲達到地極， 因為耶和華與列國相爭； 凡有血氣的，他必審問； 至於惡人，他必交給刀劍。 這是耶和華說的。
32 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
萬軍之耶和華如此說： 看哪，必有災禍從這國發到那國， 並有大暴風從地極颳起。
33 And the pierced of YHWH have been in that day, From the end of the earth even to the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground.
「到那日，從地這邊直到地那邊都有耶和華所殺戮的。必無人哀哭，不得收殮，不得葬埋，必在地上成為糞土。
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you majestic of the flock, For your days have been full For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable vessel.
牧人哪，你們當哀號，呼喊； 群眾的頭目啊，你們要滾在灰中； 因為你們被殺戮分散的日子足足來到。 你們要跌碎，好像美器打碎一樣。
35 And refuge has perished from the shepherds, And escape from the majestic of the flock.
牧人無路逃跑； 群眾的頭目也無法逃脫。
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the majestic of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
聽啊，有牧人呼喊， 有群眾頭目哀號的聲音， 因為耶和華使他們的草場變為荒場。
37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
耶和華發出猛烈的怒氣， 平安的羊圈就都寂靜無聲。
38 He has forsaken His covert as a young lion, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!”
他離了隱密處像獅子一樣， 他們的地，因刀劍凶猛的欺壓， 又因他猛烈的怒氣都成為可驚駭的。」
