Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the sons of Ammon: “Thus said YHWH: Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why has Malcam possessed Gad, And his people have dwelt in its 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, behold, days are coming, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sounded a shout of battle in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, And it has been for a heap—a desolation, And her daughters are burned with fire, And Israel has succeeded its heirs, said YHWH.
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 Howl, Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam goes into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
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 Why do you boast yourself in valleys? Your valley is flowing, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who comes to 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 Behold, I am bringing fear in on you, A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts, From all around you, And you have each been driven out before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.
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 after this I return the captivity of the sons of Ammon, A declaration of YHWH.”
后来我还要使被掳的亚扪人归回。 这是耶和华说的。
7 Concerning Edom: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Is wisdom no longer in Teman? Has counsel perished from the intelligent? Has their wisdom 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, turn, go deep to dwell, you inhabitants of Dedan, For I brought the calamity of Esau on him, The time I inspected him.
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 gatherers have come to you, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!
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 have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And he is not able to be hidden, Spoiled [is] his seed, and his brothers, And his neighbors, and he is not.
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 Leave your orphans—I keep alive, And your widows—trust on 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 said YHWH: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And you [are] he that is entirely acquitted! You are not acquitted, for you certainly drink.
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 have sworn by Myself, A declaration of YHWH, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a dry place, and for a reviling—is Bozrah, And all her cities are for continuous ruins.
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 have heard a report from YHWH, And an ambassador is sent among nations, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise for battle.
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 behold, I have made you little among nations, Despised among men.
我使你在列国中为最小， 在世人中被藐视。
16 Your terribleness has lifted you up, The pride of your heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For you make your nest high as an eagle, From there I bring you down, A declaration of YHWH.
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 And Edom has been for a desolation, Everyone passing by her is astonished, And hisses because of all her plagues.
“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 the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbors, said YHWH, No one dwells there, Nor does a son of man sojourn in her.
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 Behold, he comes up as a lion, Because of the rising of the Jordan, To the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? I lay a charge concerning her, For who is like Me? And who convenes Me? And who [is] this shepherd who stands 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, hear the counsel of YHWH, That He has counseled concerning Edom, And His plans that He has devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Do little ones of the flock not drag them out, Does He not make their habitation desolate?
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 has shaken from the noise of their fall, The cry—its voice is heard at the Sea of Suph.
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 comes up as an eagle, and flies, And He spreads His wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom has been in that day, As the heart of a travailing woman.”
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 Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad have been ashamed, For they have heard an evil report, They have been melted, sorrow [is] in the sea, It is not able to be quiet.
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 has been feeble, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.
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 it is not left—the city of praise, The city of My joy!
我所喜乐可称赞的城， 为何被撇弃了呢？
26 Therefore her young men fall in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
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 have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!”
我必在大马士革城中使火着起， 烧灭便·哈达的宫殿。
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck: “Thus said YHWH: Arise, go up to Kedar, And spoil the sons 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 They take their tents and their flock, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And they carry away their camels for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] all around.
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, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, You inhabitants of Hazor—a declaration of YHWH, For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has given counsel against you, Indeed, he devises a scheme against them.
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 Rise, go up to a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, a declaration of YHWH, It has no double gates nor bar, They dwell 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 have been for a prey, And the multitude of their livestock for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, A declaration of YHWH.
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 has been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation for all time, No one dwells there, nor does a son of man sojourn 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 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, 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 said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.
“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 I have brought four winds to Elam, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation to where outcasts of Elam do not come in.
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 And I have frightened Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought calamity on them, The heat of My anger, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sent the sword after them, Until I have 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 have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed king and princes from there, A declaration of YHWH.
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 And it has come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I return the captivity of Elam, A declaration of YHWH!”
“到末后，我还要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。”
