Jeremiah 49
1 Of the sons of Ammon-Thus saith Yahweh: Hath Israel no, sons? Hath he no, heir? Why hath, Malkam, taken possession of Gad, Or have, his people, in the cities thereof, made their dwelling?
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, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh When I will cause to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, an alarm of war, So shall she become a mound of desolation, And, her villages, with fire, shall blaze, —Then shall Israel, inherit them who inherited him, Saith Yahweh.
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, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled Make outcry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird you with sackcloth, Lament ye and run to and fro among the fences, —For, Malkam, into captivity, shall go, 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 shouldst thou glory in the vales, The flowing of thy vale O apostate daughter? She who is trusting in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall invade, 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 me! bringing upon thee, terror Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, From all who are round about thee, —And ye shall be driven out every man before it, And there shall be none to bring home the wanderer;
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 But afterwards, will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, Declareth Yahweh.
后来我还要使被掳的亚扪人归回。 这是耶和华说的。
7 Of Edom—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is their wisdom corrupt?
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 ye turn go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan, —For the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him The time of his visitation.
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, grape-gatherers, came to thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them?
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 But, I, have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to conceal himself, shall he not be able! Spoiled, are his seed, and his brethren, and his neighbours, 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 thy fatherless children I, will preserve them alive, —And thy widows, In me, let them trust.
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 saith Yahweh—Lo! they who had not been adjudged to drink the cup, shall surely drink, And art thou, the one to go unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but shalt surely 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 by myself, have I sworn, Declareth Yahweh, That, Bozrah shall become, an astonishment: a reproach and a desolation, and a contempt, —And all her cities shall become age-abiding desolations.
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 A report, have I heard from Yahweh, Yea, an envoy, throughout the nations, hath been sent, —Gather yourselves together and come against her, And arise to the 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 lo! Small, have I made thee among the nations, —Despised among men!
我使你在列国中为最小， 在世人中被藐视。
16 Thy monstrous thing, hath deceived thee, The insolence of thy heart, O thou that inhabitest the hidden recesses of the cliff, That holdest fast the height of the hill, —Though thou set high as an eagle, thy nest, From thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh;
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 So shall, Edom, become an astonishment, —Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over 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 Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—any son of the earth-born.
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 Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make him run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom over it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand 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 Wherefore, hear ye The counsel of Yahweh which he hath counseled against Edom, And his devices which he hath devised against the inhabitants of Teman, —Surely the little ones of the flock shall drag them away, Surely he will cause their fold to be astounded over them.
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 At the noise of their fall, hath trembled the earth, At the outcry, in the Red Sea, was heard its noise.
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 Lo! as an eagle, he shall mount and dart, and spread his wings over Bozrah, —So shall the heart of the heroes of Edom, in that day, become as the heart of a woman in her pain.
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 Of Damascus. Turned pale have Hamath and Arpad, For, a calamitous report, have they heard—they tremble, —In the sea, is anxiety, it cannot, rest.
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 Enfeebled is Damascus She hath turned to flee But terror, hath seized her, —Anguish and pangs, have seized her as a woman in childbirth.
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 Alas! is she not forsaken—The city so praised! The citadel I rejoiced in!
我所喜乐可称赞的城， 为何被撇弃了呢？
26 Therefore shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, shall be silent in that day, Declareth Yahweh 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 Then will I kindle a fire in the walls of Damascus, —And it shall devour the 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 Of Kedar. And of the kingdoms of Hazor Which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Arise ye go up against Kedar, So shall they 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 Their tents and their flocks, shall they take, And their curtains and all their baggage and their camels, shall they carry off for themselves, —And shall cry out unto them, Terror round about!
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 remove far away, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor, Urgeth Yahweh; For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon—hath counseled against you, a counsel, And devised against you a device.
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 Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease—dwelling securely, Commandeth Yahweh, —Having neither doors nor bars, Alone, do they dwell:
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 So shall their camels, become, a prey, And the throng of their cattle, a spoil, Then will I scatter them to every wind even the clipt-beards, —And from all sides of him, will I bring in their doom Declareth Yahweh.
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 So shall Hazor become A habitation of jackals An astonishment unto times age-abiding: There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.
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 So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! 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 Then will I bring in against Elam four winds from the four quarters of the heavens, And will scatter them to all these winds, —And there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam, shall not come;
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 will cause Elam to be dismayed Before their enemies Even before them who are seeking their life, So will I bring upon them calamity, Even the glow of mine anger Declareth Yahweh, —And will send after them the sword, until I have made an end of 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 will set my throne in Elam, —And will destroy, from thence king and princes, Declareth Yahweh;
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 But it shall come to pass In the afterpart of the days, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, Declareth Yahweh.
“到末后，我还要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。”
