Jeremiah 50
1 The word which he spoke Yahweh concerning Babylon concerning [the] land of [the] Chaldeans by [the] hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
關於巴比倫和加色丁地上主藉耶肋米亞先知所說的話：
2 Declare among the nations and make a proclamation and lift up a standard make a proclamation may not you hide [it] say it will be captured Babylon it will be put to shame Bel it will be shattered Marduk they will be put to shame images its they will be shattered idols its.
你們該在民族間宣布傳揚，該樹起旗幟傳揚，不該隱瞞，說：「巴比倫已陷落了，貝耳遭受了羞辱，默洛達客傾倒了；她的偶像遭受了恥辱，她的神祇傾倒了。」
3 For it will go up on it a nation from [the] north it it will make land its into a waste and not he will be an inhabitant in it from humankind and unto animal[s] they will take flight they will go.
因為有一民族從北方上來，向她進攻，使她的國土化為無人居住，人獸絕跡的荒野。
4 In the days those and at the time that [the] utterance of Yahweh they will come [the] people of Israel they and [the] people of Judah together going and weeping they will go and Yahweh God their they will seek.
在那些日子裡和在那時期中──上主的斷語──以色列子民要與猶大子民一同歸來，且走且哭，尋覓上主他們的天主，
5 Zion they will ask for [will be] [the] direction hither faces their come and they will join themselves to Yahweh a covenant of perpetuity not it will be forgotten.
他們必詢問熙雍的所在，面朝往那裏的道路說：來，讓我們以永久不可忘的盟約依附上主! 」
6 Sheep lost (they have become *Q(K)*) people my shepherds their they have caused to wander them mountains (they have led away them *Q(K)*) from mountain to hill they have gone they have forgotten resting place their.
我的人民是一群迷途的羊群，他們的牧人使他們流浪，在群山間徘徊，翻山越嶺地漫遊，忘掉了自己的羊棧。
7 All [those who] found them they devoured them and opponents their they said not we are guilty because that they have sinned to Yahweh [the] habitation of righteousness and [the] hope of ancestors their Yahweh.
凡遇見他們的，將他們吞噬；他們的仇敵反而說：「我們並沒有過錯，因為是他們得罪了上主，正義的淵源和他們祖先的希望。」
8 Take flight from [the] midst of Babylon and from [the] land of [the] Chaldeans (go forth *Q(K)*) and be like male goats before [the] flock.
你們該逃離巴比倫，走出加色丁地，如同羊群前領頭的公山羊。
9 For here! I [am] about to rouse and [am] about to bring up on Babylon an assembly of nations great from a land of [the] north and they will line up to it from there it will be captured arrows its [will be] like a warrior skillful [who] not he returns empty.
因為，看，我必從北方，發動一群強盛的民族前來進攻巴比倫，列陣向她進攻，就地將她攻陷；他們的箭像是善戰的勇士，從不空手而歸。
10 And it will become Chaldea plunder all [those who] plunder it they will be satisfied [the] utterance of Yahweh.
加色丁必遭劫掠，凡劫掠她的，必心滿意足──上主的斷語。
11 That (you are rejoicing *Q(K)*) that (you are gloating *Q(K)*) O plunderers of inheritance my that (you are skipping about *Q(K)*) like a heifer threshing (so you may neigh *Q(K)*) like mighty [horses].
你們搶奪我產業的人，你們儘管喜樂，儘管歡欣：跳躍，好像踏青的小公牛；嘶鳴，有如獲偶的牡馬!
12 She will be ashamed mother your exceedingly she will be abashed [the one who] gave birth you there! [the] last of nations a wilderness a desert and a desert plain.
你們的母親已遭受極大的恥辱，生養你的，已滿面羞慚。看，她已成為民族中最卑下的，成了曠野、旱地和荒原；
13 From [the] wrath of Yahweh not it will remain and it will be a waste all of it every [one who] passes by at Babylon he will be appalled and he may hiss on all wounds its.
在上主的盛怒下，她已無人居住，滿目淒涼：凡經過巴比倫的人，看見的種種慘狀，莫不驚異嗟嘆。
14 Line up on Babylon - all around O all [those who] bend a bow shoot against it may not you spare an arrow for to Yahweh it has sinned.
一切開張弓弩的射手! 你們應列陣圍攻巴比倫，向她射擊，不要吝惜箭羽，因為她得罪了上主。
15 Shout out on it all around it will give hand its they will fall (towers its *Q(k)*) they will be torn down walls its for [is] [the] vengeance of Yahweh that avenge yourself on it just as it has done do to it.
你們四周圍繞，向她吶喊! 她必伸手請降，她的城樓必將陷落，她的城牆必要被攻陷，因為這是上主的報復。你們報復她，照她作的還報!
16 Cut off [the] sower from Babylon and [one who] wields a sickle at a time of harvest from before [the] sword of the oppressor everyone to people his they will turn and everyone to own land his they will flee.
你們要殲滅巴比倫播種和手持鐮刀收割的人! 面臨無情的刀劍，各人回歸自己的民族，各自逃往自己的故鄉。
17 [is] sheep Scattered Israel [which] lions they have driven away the first [lion] he devoured it [the] king of Assyria and this the last [lion] he gnawed bones its Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.
以色列是獅子追捕的亡羊，首先吞噬她的，是亞述君王；最後咬碎她骨骸的，是拿步高巴比倫王。
18 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to visit [judgment] to [the] king of Babylon and to land his just as I visited [judgment] to [the] king of Assyria.
為此，萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：「看，我要懲罰巴比倫王和他的國土，就如我懲罰了亞述君王一樣。
19 And I will restore Israel to pasture its and it will graze Carmel and Bashan and in [the] hill country of Ephraim and Gilead it will be satisfied appetite its.
我要領以色列回歸自己的牧場，在加爾默耳和巴商牧放，使他們的心靈在厄弗辣因與基肋阿得山上，獲得滿足。
20 In the days those and at the time that [the] utterance of Yahweh it will be sought [the] iniquity of Israel and there not [will be] it and [the] sins of Judah and not they will be found for I will forgive [those] whom I will leave as a remnant.
那些日子裏和在那時期中──上主的斷語──要想尋求以色列的不義，卻一無所有；要想尋猶大的罪惡，卻一無所見；因為我必寬恕我留下的遺民。
21 On the land of Merathaim go up on it and against [the] inhabitants of Pekod kill and totally destroy after them [the] utterance of Yahweh and do according to all that I have commanded you.
你們該向默辣塔因地推進，進攻培科得的居民，屠殺，徹底將他們消滅──上主的斷語──全照我吩咐的進行。
22 A sound of battle [will be] in the land and destruction great.
地上發生了交戰的吶喊，巨大的毀滅。
23 How! it has been cut off and it has been broken [the] hammer of all the earth how! it has become a horror Babylon among the nations.
怎麼，威震全地的鎚子也被破碎毀壞了﹖怎麼，巴比倫在萬民中也變得如此悽涼﹖
24 I set a trap for you and also you were caught O Babylon and you not you knew you were found and also you were caught for with Yahweh you engaged in strife.
我給你佈下羅網，你竟被捉住；而你，巴比倫，尚不自覺；你被尋獲，且被捉住，因為你竟敢違抗上主! 」
25 He has opened Yahweh armory his and he has brought out [the] weapons of indignation his for a work it [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in [the] land of [the] Chaldeans.
上主開了自已的武庫，搬出了自己洩怒的武器，因為吾主萬軍的上主，在加色丁地有事要完成。
26 Come to it from [the] end open granaries its pile up it like heaps and totally destroy it may not it belong to it a remnant.
你們從四面八方向她湧來，打開她的倉庫，堆積成堆，徹底消滅，不給她留下殘餘；
27 Kill all young bulls its let them go down to the slaughter woe! on them for it has come day their [the] time of punishment their.
屠殺她的一切公牛，叫他們下入屠場! 卜們的災難臨頭，因為他們的日子到了，到了懲罰他們的時候。
28 [the] sound of Fugitives and escapees from [the] land of Babylon to declare in Zion [the] vengeance of Yahweh God our [the] vengeance of temple his.
聽從巴比倫地逃命出走的人，在熙雍報告說：「上主我們的天主在復仇，為自己的殿宇雪恥。
29 Summon against Babylon - archers all [those who] bend a bow encamp on it all around may not (it be to it *Q(K)*) escape repay to it according to deed[s] its according to all that it has done do to it for Yahweh it has defied proudly [the] holy [one] of Israel.
你們召集弓手，一切挽弓的人，來向巴比倫進攻，在她周圍紮營，不要讓她有人逃脫，該按照她的作為而報復她，照她所作的對待她，因為她傲慢反對上主，反對以色列的聖者。
30 Therefore they will fall young men its in open places its and all [the] men of war its they will be silenced on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh.
為此，她的青年人要倒斃在她的廣場，她所有的戰士都要在那一天內滅亡──上主的斷語──
31 Here I [am] against you O arrogance [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts that it has come day your [the] time [when] I will visit you.
你這驕橫的人! 看，我來對付你──我主萬軍上主的斷語──因為你的日子到了，到了懲罰你的時候。
32 And it will stumble arrogance and it will fall and not [will belong] to it [one who] raises up and I will kindle fire in cities its and it will devour all around it.
驕橫的必要傾覆顛仆，再沒有人來使她復興；我必放火燒毀她的城市，火要吞滅她四周的一切。」
33 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [are] oppressed [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah together and all captors their they have kept hold on them they have refused to let go them.
萬軍的上主這樣說：「以色列子民與猶大子民一同遭受了壓迫；凡俘擄他們的，都扣留他們，不肯釋放。」
34 Redeemer their - [is] strong [is] Yahweh of hosts name his certainly he will conduct case their so as to give rest to the earth and to cause disquiet to [the] inhabitants of Babylon.
但是他們的救贖者，名叫萬軍的上主，剛強有力，必要辯護他們的案件，使大地安寧，使巴比倫的居民惶亂。
35 A sword on [the] Chaldeans [the] utterance of Yahweh and against [the] inhabitants of Babylon and against officials its and against wise [people] its.
刀劍加於加色丁人──上主的斷語──加於巴比倫的居民，她的公卿和她的謀臣；
36 A sword against the empty talkers and they will become fools a sword against warriors its and they will be shattered.
刀劍加於她的巫士，使他們瘋狂；刀劍加於她的勇士，叫他們驚慌；
37 A sword against horses its and against chariotry its and against every foreigner who [is] in [the] midst of it and they will become women a sword against treasuries its and they will be plundered.
刀劍加於她的戰馬戰車，加於她境內所有的雜族，使他們柔弱如婦女；刀劍加於她的府庫，使人任意搶奪；
38 A drought against waters its and they will dry up for [is] a land of idols it and in terrors they will act like mad people.
刀劍加於她的水源，叫水源涸竭，因為她偶像遍地，人們癡戀這些怪物；
39 Therefore they will dwell desert-dwellers with hyenas and they will dwell in it daughters of an ostrich and not it will remain again to perpetuity and not it will settle until a generation and a generation.
為此，她必成為野貓和野狗的巢穴，駝鳥的棲身地，永遠不會有人居住，世世代代不會有居民；
40 Like [the] overthrow of God Sodom and Gomorrah and neighbors its [the] utterance of Yahweh not he will dwell there anyone and not he will sojourn in it a child of humankind.
恰如天主滅亡了的索多瑪、哈摩辣及附近的城市一樣──上主的斷語──再沒有人居住，再沒有人留宿。
41 There! a people [is] about to come from [the] north and a nation great and kings many they will be roused from [the] remotest parts of [the] earth.
看，有一個民族，從北方來，有一個強盛的異邦和許多君王從地極興起，
42 Bow and javelin they will take hold of [will be] cruel they and not they will have mercy sound their [will be] like the sea [which] it roars and on horses they will ride arranged like a man for battle on you O daughter of Babylon.
緊握弓矛，殘忍無情，像海嘯般喧嚷，騎著戰馬，萬眾一心，嚴陣準備向你進攻，巴比倫女郎!
43 He heard [the] king of Babylon report their and they hung limp hands his distress it took hold of him anguish like [woman] giving birth.
巴比倫王聽到了他們前來的消息，束手無策，不勝憂慮，痛苦得有如臨盆的產婦。
44 There! like a lion [which] it goes up from [the] thicket[s] of the Jordan to pastureland of an ever-flowing [stream] for I will act in a moment (I will cause to run them *Q(K)*) from on it and whoever [is] chosen to it I will appoint for who? [is] like me and who? will he summon me and who? this [is] a shepherd who he will stand before me.
看哪，好像一隻雄獅，從約但的叢林上來，走向常綠的牧場；同樣，我也要轉瞬間將他們趕走，派我選定的人來統治。誠然，誰是我的對手﹖誰敢向我提出質問﹖誰能對抗我的牧人﹖
45 Therefore hear [the] plan of Yahweh which he has planned against Babylon and purposes his which he has purposed against [the] land of [the] Chaldeans if not people will drag away them [the] young [ones] of the flock if not he will devastate on them [the] pastureland.
為此，請你們聽上主對巴比倫設下的計謀，對加色丁地策劃的策略：連最弱小的羊也一定要被人牽去，他們的牧場也必對他們戰慄。
46 From [the] sound it has been captured Babylon it will quake the earth and a cry of distress among the nations it will be heard.
巴比倫轟然陷落，大地為之震動；哀號之聲，直達萬邦。
