Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken: Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
論摩押。萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說： 尼波有禍了！因變為荒場。 基列亭蒙羞被攻取； 米斯迦蒙羞被毀壞；
2 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her, Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue thee.
摩押不再被稱讚。 有人在希實本設計謀害她，說： 來吧！我們將她剪除，不再成國。 瑪得緬哪，你也必默默無聲； 刀劍必追趕你。
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction!
從何羅念有喊荒涼大毀滅的哀聲：
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
摩押毀滅了！ 她的孩童發哀聲，使人聽見。
5 For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for in the going down of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
人上魯希坡隨走隨哭， 因為在何羅念的下坡聽見毀滅的哀聲。
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
你們要奔逃，自救性命， 獨自居住，好像曠野的杜松。
7 For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的財寶必被攻取。 基抹和屬他的祭司、首領也要一同被擄去。
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD hath spoken.
行毀滅的必來到各城， 並無一城得免。 山谷必致敗落， 平原必被毀壞； 正如耶和華所說的。
9 Give wings unto Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
要將翅膀給摩押， 使她可以飛去。 她的城邑必致荒涼， 無人居住。 （
10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
懶惰為耶和華行事的，必受咒詛；禁止刀劍不經血的，必受咒詛。）
11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed.
摩押自幼年以來常享安逸， 如酒在渣滓上澄清， 沒有從這器皿倒在那器皿裏， 也未曾被擄去。 因此，它的原味尚存， 香氣未變。
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him them that pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
耶和華說：「日子將到，我必打發倒酒的往她那裏去，將她倒出來，倒空她的器皿，打碎她的罈子。
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
摩押必因基抹羞愧，像以色列家從前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一樣。
14 How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
你們怎麼說： 我們是勇士，是有勇力打仗的呢？
15 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into her cities; and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
摩押變為荒場， 敵人上去進了她的城邑。 她所特選的少年人下去遭了殺戮； 這是君王－名為萬軍之耶和華說的。
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
摩押的災殃臨近； 她的苦難速速來到。
17 All ye that are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye that know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
凡在她四圍的和認識她名的， 你們都要為她悲傷，說： 那結實的杖和那美好的棍， 何竟折斷了呢？
18 O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strong holds.
住在底本的民哪， 要從你榮耀的位上下來， 坐受乾渴； 因毀滅摩押的上來攻擊你， 毀壞了你的保障。
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What hath been done?
住亞羅珥的啊， 要站在道旁觀望， 問逃避的男人和逃脫的女人說： 是甚麼事呢？
20 Moab is put to shame; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
摩押因毀壞蒙羞； 你們要哀號呼喊， 要在亞嫩旁報告說： 摩押變為荒場！
21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;
「刑罰臨到平原之地的何倫、雅雜、米法押、
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;
底本、尼波、伯‧低比拉太音、
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
基列亭、伯‧迦末、伯‧米恩、
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
加略、波斯拉，和摩押地遠近所有的城邑。
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
摩押的角砍斷了，摩押的膀臂折斷了。這是耶和華說的。」
26 Make ye him drunken; for he magnified himself against the LORD: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
「你們要使摩押沉醉，因她向耶和華誇大。她要在自己所吐之中打滾，又要被人嗤笑。
27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head.
摩押啊，你不曾嗤笑以色列嗎？她豈是在賊中查出來的呢？你每逢提到她便搖頭。
28 O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.
摩押的居民哪， 要離開城邑，住在山崖裏， 像鴿子在深淵口上搭窩。
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, and the haughtiness of his heart.
我們聽說摩押人驕傲， 是極其驕傲； 聽說他自高自傲， 並且狂妄，居心自大。
30 I know his wrath, saith the LORD, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing.
耶和華說： 我知道他的忿怒是虛空的； 他誇大的話一無所成。
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall they mourn.
因此，我要為摩押哀號， 為摩押全地呼喊； 人必為吉珥‧哈列設人歎息。
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the spoiler is fallen.
西比瑪的葡萄樹啊，我為你哀哭， 甚於雅謝人哀哭。 你的枝子蔓延過海， 直長到雅謝海。 那行毀滅的已經臨到你夏天的果子 和你所摘的葡萄。
33 And gladness and joy is taken away, from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
肥田和摩押地的歡喜快樂都被奪去； 我使酒醡的酒絕流， 無人踹酒歡呼； 那歡呼卻變為仇敵的吶喊。
34 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, even unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
「希實本人發的哀聲達到以利亞利，直達到雅雜；從瑣珥達到何羅念，直到伊基拉‧施利施亞，因為寧林的水必然乾涸。」
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
耶和華說：「我必在摩押地使那在邱壇獻祭的，和那向他的神燒香的都斷絕了。
36 Therefore mine heart soundeth for Moab like pipes, and mine heart soundeth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.
我心腹為摩押哀鳴如簫，我心腸為吉珥‧哈列設人也是如此，因摩押人所得的財物都滅沒了。
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
「各人頭上光禿，鬍鬚剪短，手有劃傷，腰束麻布。
38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.
在摩押的各房頂上和街市上處處有人哀哭；因我打碎摩押，好像打碎無人喜悅的器皿。這是耶和華說的。
39 How is it broken down! [how] do they howl! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a dismaying to all that are round about him.
摩押何等毀壞！何等哀號！何等羞愧轉背！這樣，摩押必令四圍的人嗤笑驚駭。」
40 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
耶和華如此說： 仇敵必如大鷹飛起， 展開翅膀，攻擊摩押。
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
加略被攻取，保障也被佔據。 到那日，摩押的勇士心中疼痛如臨產的婦人。
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
摩押必被毀滅，不再成國， 因她向耶和華誇大。
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
耶和華說：摩押的居民哪， 恐懼、陷坑、網羅都臨近你。
44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
躲避恐懼的必墜入陷坑； 從陷坑上來的必被網羅纏住； 因我必使追討之年臨到摩押。 這是耶和華說的。
45 They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon: for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
躲避的人無力站在希實本的影下； 因為有火從希實本發出， 有火焰出於西宏的城， 燒盡摩押的角和鬨嚷人的頭頂。
46 Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone: for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.
摩押啊，你有禍了！ 屬基抹的民滅亡了！ 因你的眾子都被擄去， 你的眾女也被擄去。
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
耶和華說： 到末後，我還要使被擄的摩押人歸回。 摩押受審判的話到此為止。
