Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, for it is spoiled, Kiriathaim has been captured [and] put to shame, The high tower has been put to shame, Indeed, it has been broken down.
關於摩阿布：萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：「禍哉，乃波! 因為她遭受了浩劫；克黎雅塔殷蒙受了羞辱，被人攻佔；城堡被人侮辱，飽受驚恐。
2 There is no longer praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised evil against her: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, you are cut off, A sword goes after you.
摩阿布的誇耀不再存在，在赫市朋就有人對她蓄意謀害：「來，我們將她剷除，使她不再是個民族! 」連你瑪德門，也要遭受蹂躪，在你後面緊隨著刀劍。
3 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
由曷洛納因傳來哀號的聲音：蹂躪! 絕大的蹂躪!
4 Moab has been destroyed, Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
摩阿布遭受了蹂躪，哀號之聲直達祚阿爾。
5 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Weeping goes up, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries have heard a cry of desolation.
他們哭泣著攀登路希特山坡；在曷洛納因斜坡上，人們可聽到悽慘的悲號：
6 Flee, deliver yourselves, You are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
請你們逃跑，拯救你們的性命! 願你們有如曠野中的楊柳!
7 For because of your trusting in your works, And in your treasures, even you are captured, And Chemosh has gone out in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
正因你信賴你的工作和財富，你也要被佔領；革摩士與自己的司祭和執事，也要一同充軍。
8 And a spoiler comes to every city, And no city escapes, And the valley has perished, And the plain has been destroyed, as YHWH said.
正如上主說了：蹂躪者必踏遍所有的城市，無一可以幸免；山谷必遭破壞，平原必摧殘。
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may go forth and flee away, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
你們給摩阿布立墓碑，因為她已全被消滅，她的城邑全化為無人居住的荒野。──
10 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of YHWH slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
那怠慢執行上主工作的，是可咒罵的；那制止自己的刀劍見血的，也是可咒罵的。──
11 Moab is secure from his youth, And he [is] at rest for his preserved things, And he has not been emptied out from vessel to vessel, And he has not gone into captivity, Therefore his taste has remained in him, And his fragrance has not been changed.
摩阿布自少年就享安逸，安息在自己的糟粕上，從沒有由一缸內，也從沒有被擄充軍，為此她的滋味仍然存在，她的香味還未改變。
12 Therefore, behold, days are coming, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sent wanderers to him, And they have caused him to wander, And they empty out his vessels, And they dash his bottles in pieces.
惟其如此，看，時日將到──上主的斷語──我必給她派傾倒的人來將她倒空，倒乾她的酒缸，打碎她的酒瓶；
13 And Moab has been ashamed because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel has been ashamed Because of Beth-El, their confidence.
那時，摩阿布必因革摩士而受辱，就如以色列家因他們信賴的貝特耳而受辱一樣。
14 How do you say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
你們怎能說：「我們是勇士，善戰的力士﹖」
15 Moab is spoiled, and has gone up [from] her cities, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
蹂躪摩阿布者上來進攻她的城市，精銳的少年，下去遭受殺戮─名叫「萬軍上主」的君王的斷語──
16 The destruction of Moab is near to come, And his calamity has hurried exceedingly.
摩阿布的災難已逼近前來，她的禍患加速進行。
17 Bemoan for him, all you around him, And all knowing his name, say, How it has been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty!
你們四鄰，凡認識她聲名的，都應對她惋惜說：「怎麼，威能的權杖，光榮的柄杖，也被折斷! 」
18 Come down from glory, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab has come up to you, He has destroyed your fortifications.
住在狄朋的女兒! 你該由榮耀中下來，坐在乾地上，因為蹂躪摩阿布者已前來攻擊你，摧毀你的要塞。
19 Stand on the way, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What has happened?
阿洛厄爾的居民! 請你站在路旁觀望，向在逃亡出走的男女探問說：「發生了什麼事﹖」
20 Moab has been put to shame, For it has been broken down, Howl and cry, declare in Arnon, For Moab is spoiled,
摩阿布已羞愧無地，因為已經瓦解；你們應悲哭哀號，在阿爾農宣布：「摩阿布遭受了蹂躪! 」
21 And judgment has come to the land of the plain—to Holon, And to Jahazah, and on Mephaath,
懲罰已來到了平原之地，到了曷隆、雅哈茲和默法阿特；
22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,
到了狄朋、乃波和貝特狄貝拉塔因；
23 And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,
到了克黎雅塔殷、貝特加慕耳和貝特默紅；
24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.
到了克黎約特、波責辣和摩阿布地遠近的各城市。
25 The horn of Moab has been cut down, And his arm has been broken, A declaration of YHWH.
摩阿布的角已被砍下，她的手臂已被折斷──上主斷語。
26 Declare him drunk, For he made himself great against YHWH And Moab has struck in his vomit, And he has been for a derision—even he.
請你們灌醉她，因為她自高自大，反抗上主；摩阿布必要在自己的嘔吐中輾轉，連她自己也要成為笑柄。
27 And was Israel not the derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For since your words concerning him, You bemoan yourself.
以色列為你豈不是一個笑柄﹖難道她是被人發現在盜賊之中，為什麼你一提到她，就只有搖頭﹖
28 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, You inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit’s mouth.
摩阿布的居民! 你們該離棄城市，住在巖石間，彷彿在深谷懸崖邊緣結巢鵓鴿。
29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceedingly proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,
我們聽說過摩阿布的驕傲，她的確驕傲無比；我們也聽說過她的強橫、矜誇、自大和心中的傲慢。
30 I have known, a declaration of YHWH, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His boastings—they have done nothing right.
我知道她狂妄，好事空談，舉動輕率──上主的斷語──
31 Therefore I howl for Moab, even for Moab—all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it mourns,
為此，我為摩阿布哀哭，為整個摩阿布悲號，為克爾赫勒斯人嘆息。
32 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, Your branches have passed over a sea, They have come to the Sea of Jazer, On your summer fruits, and on your harvest, A spoiler has fallen.
息貝瑪葡萄園! 我為雅則爾痛哭，更為你痛哭；你的枝葉曾越過海洋，伸展到雅則爾；現在蹂躪者竟突然來摧殘你夏季的果實和秋季的收穫。
33 And joy and gladness have been removed from the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And I have caused wine to cease from winepresses, Shouting does not proceed, The shouting [is] not shouting!
摩阿布的田園已再沒有歡欣喜樂；我已使槽中無酒可榨；榨酒的不再榨酒，再也聽不見歡呼。
34 Because of the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh, They have given their voice to Jahaz, From Zoar to Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even [the] waters of Nimrim become desolations.
赫市朋和厄肋阿肋的哀號遠達雅哈茲，由祚阿爾發出的呼聲，直達曷洛納因和厄革拉舍里史雅，因為尼默凌的水業已枯竭。
35 And I have caused to cease in Moab, A declaration of YHWH, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making incense to his god.
如此，我要給摩阿布滅絕上高丘向神祇獻香的人──上主的斷語──
36 Therefore My heart sounds as pipes for Moab, And My heart sounds as pipes for men of Kir-Heres, Therefore the abundance he made perished.
為此我的心像笛蕭一般為摩阿布鳴咽，我的心像笛簫一般為克爾赫勒斯人鳴咽，因為他們獲得的積蓄，都已喪失。
37 For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands—cuttings, and on the loins—sackcloth.
人人剃光頭髮，人人剪去鬍鬚，手上帶有割傷，腰間繫有苦衣；
38 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it—lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure,” A declaration of YHWH.
摩阿布所有的屋頂和廣場上，處處可聽到哀聲，因為我擊碎了摩阿布，有如擊碎一不中人意的器皿──上主的斷語──
39 “How it has been broken down! They have howled, How Moab has turned the neck ashamed! And Moab has been for a derision And for a terror to all around her.”
摩阿布崩潰得多麼悽慘! 你們真該嚎啕! 她是多麼含羞轉過背來! 摩阿布竟成了她四鄰的笑柄和恐怖。
40 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, he flees as an eagle, And has spread his wings to Moab.
因為上主這樣說：「看，敵人好像老鷹飛翔，向摩阿布展開自已的翅膀，
41 The cities have been captured, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Has been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
攻取了城池，佔領了要塞；在那一日，摩阿布的勇士必心志頹喪有如臨產的婦人。
42 And Moab has been destroyed from [being] a people, For he exerted himself against YHWH.
摩阿布必要消滅，不再成為一個民族，因為她自高自大，反抗上主。
43 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [are] for you, O inhabitant of Moab—a declaration of YHWH,
摩阿布的居民! 恐怖、陷阱和羅網齊來襲擊你──上主的斷語──
44 Whoever is fleeing because of the fear falls into the snare, And whoever is coming up from the snare is captured by the trap, For I bring to her—to Moab—The year of their inspection, A declaration of YHWH.
逃脫了恐怖的，必落在陷阱裏；爬出了陷阱的，必為羅網纏住；在懲罰她的那年，我要給摩阿布召來這一切──上主的斷語──
45 In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives have stood powerless, For fire has gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumes the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
逃命的人，筋疲力盡，站在赫市朋的陰影下；但是從赫市朋發出了火，從息紅宮中冒出了火焰，吞滅了摩阿布的首領，和騷動子民的頭目。
46 Woe to you, O Moab, The people of Chemosh have perished, For your sons were taken with the captives, And your daughters with the captivity.
禍哉，摩阿布! 革摩士的人民! 你算完了，因為你的兒子已被擄去充軍，你的女兒流為囚徒；
47 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days,” A declaration of YHWH! “Until now [is] the judgment of Moab.”
雖然如此，在末日我仍要轉變摩阿布的命運──上主的斷語。至此是關於摩阿布的判決。
