Jeremiah 51
1 Thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to rouse on Babylon and against [the] inhabitants Leb-qamai a wind a destroyer.
上主這樣說：「看，我必要興起毀滅的颶風，襲擊巴比倫和加色丁的居民，
2 And I will send to Babylon - strangers and they will winnow it and they may lay waste land its for they will be on it from round about on [the] day of calamity.
給巴比倫派簸手來簸揚她，掃空她的國土，因為在禍患之日，人必四面向她進攻。」
3 May not he bend (*Q(K)*) the [one] bending bow his and may not he lift in armor his and may not you spare young men its totally destroy all army its.
弓手不要放下自己的弓箭，戰士不要卸下自己的鎧甲，不要憐恤她的青年，卻要殲滅她所有的部隊，
4 And they will fall slain in [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and pierced through in streets its.
使他們倒斃在加色丁境內，沿途被人刺殺，
5 For not [is] forsaken Israel and Judah from God its from Yahweh of hosts for land their it is full guilt from [the] holy [one] of Israel.
因為他們的國土，充滿了反抗以色列聖者的罪惡；可是以色列和猶大並未成為寡婦，也未喪失自己的天主，萬軍的上主。
6 Flee - from [the] midst of Babylon and save everyone life his may not you be destroyed in iniquity its for [is] a time of vengeance it for Yahweh recompense he [is] about to repay to it.
你們逃離巴比倫，各救自己的性命，不要因了她的罪過而自遭喪亡，因為現在是上主復仇的時候，上主要對她報復。
7 [was] a cup of Gold Babylon in [the] hand of Yahweh making drunk all the earth some of wine its they have drunk nations there-fore they are acting like mad people nations.
巴比倫在上主手中，曾是個灌醉大地的金爵，萬民飲了她的酒，萬民纔如此狂亂。
8 Suddenly it will fall Babylon and it was broken wail on it get balm for pain its perhaps it will be healed.
霎時間，巴比倫傾覆瓦解，你們為她舉哀，拿香料來醫治她的創傷，也許她會痊癒。
9 (We healed *Q(k)*) Babylon and not it was healed leave it so we may go everyone to own land his for it has reached to the heavens judgment its and it has been lifted up to [the] clouds.
我們本願治癒巴比倫，但是她卻不痊癒；我們放下她，各自回歸故鄉，因為她罪惡滔天，直達雲霄。
10 He has brought forth Yahweh righteousness our come so let us recount in Zion [the] work of Yahweh God our.
上主表彰了我們的正義，來，我們在熙雍稱揚上主我們的天主的偉業。
11 Sharpen the arrows fill the shields he has roused Yahweh [the] spirit of [the] kings of Media for on Babylon purpose his [is] to destroy it for [is] [the] vengeance of Yahweh it [the] vengeance of temple his.
磨尖箭矢，裝滿箭囊! 上主已激起瑪待王的銳氣，因為他對巴比倫的計劃，是要將她消滅；是上主報復，為自己的殿宇復仇。
12 Against [the] walls of Babylon lift up a standard strengthen the watch station watchmen prepare the ambushers for both he has purposed Yahweh as well as he will do [that] which he spoke concerning [the] inhabitants of Babylon.
你們向巴比倫城牆樹立旗幟，加緊防衛，派駐防哨，預設埋伏，因為上主怎樣計劃了，就怎樣實踐他對巴比倫居民所下的斷語。
13 (O [one who] dwells *Q(k)*) at waters many greatness of treasures it has come end your [the] cubit of cutting off your.
啊，你住在多水之旁，富有寶藏；現在到了你的結局，到了切斷你尺度的時刻。
14 He swears Yahweh of hosts by self his that except I will fill you person[s] like locust and they will sing to you a shout.
萬軍的上主指著自己起誓說：「我必用像蝗蟲那麼多的人群填塞你，對你高唱凱歌。」
15 [he] made [the] earth By power his [he] established [the] world by wisdom his and by understanding his he stretched out [the] heavens.
上主以自己的能力創造了大地，自己的智慧奠定了寰宇，以自己的才智展布了諸天。
16 To [the] sound of giving forth he a tumult of waters in the heavens and he brought up clouds from [the] end of [the] earth lightning for the rain he makes and he brought out [the] wind from storehouses his.
他一聲號令使天上的水怒號，使雲彩地極上騰，使雷聲霹靂，造成豪雨，使暴風從他的倉庫出發。
17 He is stupid every person from knowledge he is put to shame every metalsmith from [the] idol for [is] deception molten image his and not breath [is] in them.
人都要自覺愚昧無知；每個銀匠必因自己的刻像感到羞慚，因為所鑄的像，只是「虛無」，沒有息；
18 [are] futility They a work of mockery at [the] time of punishment their they will perish.
是「虛幻」，是愚弄人的作品；懲罰時期一到，必要盡歸滅亡。
19 Not [is] like these [the] portion of Jacob for [is [the] one who] formed everything he and [the] tribe of inheritance his [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
那位作雅各伯產業的，與它們卻完全不同，因為他是萬物的造主，以色列是作他產業的支派；他的名字叫「萬軍的上主」。
20 [are] a war-club You of me weapons of war and I smash by you nations and I destroy by you kingdoms.
巴比倫! 你曾是我的鎚子，作戰的武器；我曾用你粉碎萬民，用你毀滅邦國，
21 And I smash by you horse and rider its and I smash by you chariotry and rider[s] its.
用你粉碎戰馬和騎士，用你粉碎戰車和後夫，
22 And I smash by you man and woman and I smash by you old [man] and young man and I smash by you young man and young woman.
用你粉碎男子和婦女，用你粉碎老翁和幼童，用你粉少男和少女，
23 And I smash by you shepherd and flock his and I smash by you a farmer and team his and I smash by you governors and officials.
用你粉碎牧人和牲畜，用你粉碎農夫和耕牛，用你粉碎州牧和監督。
24 And I will repay to Babylon and to all - [the] inhabitants of Chaldea all evil their which they did in Zion to eyes your [the] utterance of Yahweh.
但是，如今我要在你們眼前，報復巴比倫和所有的加色丁居民，對熙雍作的一切惡事──上主的斷語──
25 Here I [am] against you O mountain of destruction [the] utterance of Yahweh who destroys all the earth and I will stretch out hand my on you and I will roll you from the crags and I will make you into a mountain of burning.
好事毀滅的山嶺! 看，我要攻擊你──上主的斷語──是你毀滅了整個大地，我要向你伸出我的手，使你從崖石上滾下，使你成為烈火焚毀的山嶺。
26 And not people will take from you stone for a corner and stone for foundations for wastes of perpetuity you will be [the] utterance of Yahweh.
人們不再從你那裏鑿取角石或基石，因為你將永遠為荒丘──上主的斷語。
27 Lift up a standard in the land blow a trumpet among the nations consecrate on it nations summon on it [the] kingdoms of Ararat Minni and Ashkenaz appoint on it an official bring up horse[s] like a locust bristly.
你們在地上樹立旗幟，在萬民間吹起號角，祝聖萬民向她進攻，召集阿辣辣特和明尼及阿市革納次王國向她進攻，派遣一員大將向他進攻；衝鋒的馬隊，好像刺毛直豎的蚱蜢。
28 Consecrate on it nations [the] kings of Media governors its and all officials its and all [the] land of dominion his.
祝聖萬民：瑪待的君王和他的州牧，他所有的監督以及他整個版圖的民眾，向她進攻。
29 And it quaked the land and it writhed for it will be fulfilled on Babylon [the] plans of Yahweh to make [the] land of Babylon into a waste from not inhabitant.
大地戰慄惶悚，因為上主正在進行攻巴比倫的計劃，使巴比倫地成為無人居住的荒野。
30 They will cease [the] warriors of Babylon to fight they will remain in the strongholds it will be dry strength their they will become women they will be set on fire dwellings its they will be broken bars its.
巴比倫的兵士放棄作戰，留在堡壘中，失去了勇氣，有如婦人；她的房屋已為火焚毀，她的門閂已被折斷。
31 A runner to meet a runner he will run and a messenger to meet a messenger to tell to [the] king of Babylon that it has been captured city his from [the] end.
跑差的，傳信的，都相繼跑去通報巴比倫王，京城四周已被佔領，
32 And the fords they have been seized and the reed-marshes they have burned with fire and [the] men of war they are terrified.
口已被攻陷，要塞已遭火焚；戰士都十分恐惶。
33 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel [the] daughter of Babylon [will be] like a threshing floor a time [when] someone treads down it yet a little and it will come [the] time of the harvest to it.
因為萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：「巴比倫女郎有如到了該踐踏的禾場；還有片刻就到收割她的時期。
34 (He devoured me he confused me *Q(K)*) Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon (he set down me *Q(K)*) a vessel of emptiness (he swallowed me *Q(K)*) like sea monster he filled belly his from delicacies my (he rinsed out me. *Q(K)*)
巴比倫王拿步高把我吞食毀滅，使我變成了空器皿；他彷復一條龍，併吞了我，以我的美味滿足了自己的肚腹，然後將我驅逐。
35 Violence my and flesh my [be] on Babylon she will say [the] inhabitant[s] of Zion and blood my [be] to [the] inhabitants of Chaldea it will say Jerusalem.
熙雍的居民說：「要對巴比倫報復我身受的凌辱! 」耶路撒冷說：「要對加色丁居民報復我的血債! 」
36 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to conduct case your and I will avenge vengeance your and I will dry up sea its and I will make dry spring its.
為此，上主這樣說：「看，我必為你辯護，報復你的冤仇，乾涸她的河川，枯竭她的泉源。
37 And it will become Babylon - heaps of stones - a habitation of jackals a horror and a hissing from not inhabitant.
巴比倫必成為一堆瓦礫，豺狼的巢穴；令人恐怖嘲笑，無人居住。
38 Together like young lions they roar they growl like cubs of lions.
巴比倫人像壯獅一樣，一起怒號，像母獅的幼雛一樣，一起咆哮。
39 When getting heated they I will make feast their and I will make drunk them so that they may celebrate and they will sleep a sleep of perpetuity and not they will awake [the] utterance of Yahweh.
在他們激昂時，我必給他們擺設盛宴，使他們酣醉昏迷，長眠不醒──上主的斷語──
40 I will bring down them like lambs to slaughter like rams with goats.
我必使他們下到屠場，無異羔羊綿羊和山羊。
41 How! it will be captured Sheshach and it has been seized [the] praise of all the earth how! it will become a horror Babylon among the nations.
怎麼，沙客竟陷落了，全地的光榮竟遭受了劫掠﹖怎麼，連巴比倫在萬民中也變得如此悽涼﹖
42 It will go up over Babylon the sea with [the] tumult of waves its it will be covered.
海洋衝擊巴比倫，使她全被驚濤怒浪所淹沒；
43 They will become cities its a waste a land dry and a desert plain a land [where] not he will dwell in them any person and not he will pass in them a child of humankind.
她的城市盡化為野，乾旱淒涼之地，再沒有人居住，再沒有過客。
44 And I will visit [judgment] on Bel in Babylon and I will bring out swallowed thing his from mouth his and not they will stream to him again nations also [the] wall of Babylon it will fall.
我必懲罰巴比倫的貝耳，由他口裏奪出他所吞滅的，萬民必不再向他湧來，因為巴比倫的城牆已倒塌。
45 Come out from [the] midst of it O people my and save everyone life his from [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
我的人民! 你們從她那裏出來，各救自己的性命脫免上主忿怒的烈火。
46 And lest it should be weak heart your so you may fear at the report which is being heard in the land and it will come in the year the report and after it in the year the report and violence [will be] in the land and ruler [will be] on ruler.
你們不要膽怯，不要害怕地方上流傳的謠言；因為今年傳來這謠言，明年又另有謠言；地方上常有暴亂，暴君互相傾軋。
47 Therefore here! days [are] coming and I will visit [judgment] on [the] images of Babylon and all land its it will be ashamed and all slain [ones] its they will fall in [the] midst of it.
看，時日將到，我必懲罰巴比倫的偶像；使她全國飽受恥辱，國內死傷遍地。
48 And they will cry out for joy on Babylon heaven and earth and all that [is] in them for from [the] north he will come to it the destroyers [the] utterance of Yahweh.
上天下地和其中所有的一切，必對巴比倫吶喊歡呼，因為從北方必有破壞者來向她進襲──上主的斷語──
49 Both Babylon [is] to fall [those] slain of Israel as well as for Babylon they have fallen [those] slain of all the earth.
為了以色列被剌殺的人，巴比倫也該傾覆，就如全地被刺殺的人，曾為了巴比倫而倒斃。
50 O escapees from [the] sword go may not you stand still remember from a distant [land] Yahweh and Jerusalem let it come up on heart your.
你們逃脫了刀劍的人! 快走，不要停留；從遠方懷念上主，思戀耶路撒冷。
51 We are ashamed for we have heard scorn it has covered ignominy faces our for they have gone strangers to [the] holy places of [the] house of Yahweh.
我們聽到了侮辱，感到恥辱，滿面羞慚，因為外方人闖進了上主殿宇的聖所。
52 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on images its and in all land its he will groan [the] fatally wounded.
為此，看，時日將到──上主斷語──我必懲罰她的偶像，使她國內的人都負傷呻吟；
53 If it will go up Babylon the heavens and if it will fortify [the] height of strength its from with me they will come destroyers to it [the] utterance of Yahweh.
即使巴比倫爬上諸天，即使她盤據高處不可侵犯，我仍要派破壞者來自她進襲──上主的斷語。
54 [the] sound of A cry of distress from Babylon and destruction great from [the] land of [the] Chaldeans.
聽從巴比倫發出的喧嚷，從加色丁人地發生的絕大破壞!
55 For [is] about to destroy Yahweh Babylon and he will destroy from it a sound great and they will roar waves their like waters many it will be given [the] uproar of voice their.
是上主在毀滅巴比倫，消弭其中嘈雜的聲音；敵人洶湧而來，有如汪洋怒濤，揚聲吶喊。
56 For [is] about to come on it on Babylon a destroyer and they will be captured warriors its it will be shattered bows their for [is] a God of recompense Yahweh fully he will repay.
果然，破壞者已來到巴比倫，她的勇士都已被擒，她的弓弩盡被折斷，因為上主是報復的天主，他必嚴厲加以報復。
57 And I will make drunk officials its and wise [people] its governors its and officials its and warriors its and they will sleep a sleep of perpetuity and not they will awake [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
我必使她的諸侯和謀士，州牧和監督以及勇士飲醉，長眠不醒──名為萬軍上主君王的斷語。
58 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] walls of Babylon broad utterly it will be demolished and gates its high with fire they will be kindled and they may labor peoples for [the] sufficiency of emptiness and peoples for [the] sufficiency of fire and they grow weary.
萬軍的上主這樣說：「巴比倫廣闊的城牆要被夷為平地，她高大的城門要被火焚盡：這樣百姓只有白白徒勞，萬民的辛苦，也只有付之一炬。」
59 The word which he commanded - Jeremiah the prophet Seraiah [the] son of Neriah [the] son of Mahseiah when went he with Zedekiah [the] king of Judah Babylon in [the] year fourth of reigning his and Seraiah [was] an official of a resting place.
以下是瑪赫色雅的孫子，乃黎雅的兒子色辣雅同猶大王漆德克雅，在他為王第四年，同往巴比倫去時，耶肋米亞先知對他吩咐的話，那時辣雅身為行營總督。
60 And he wrote Jeremiah all the calamity which it will come to Babylon to a scroll one all the words these which were written concerning Babylon.
耶肋米亞在一本書上記錄了要降在巴比倫的一切災禍，所記錄的全是於巴比倫的事。
61 And he said Jeremiah to Seraiah when coming you Babylon and you will see and you will read aloud all the words these.
耶肋米亞對色辣雅說：「你一到了巴比倫，就應設法宣讀這一切話，
62 And you will say O Yahweh you you have spoken concerning the place this to cut off it to not to be in it an inhabitant from humankind and unto animal for desolations of perpetuity it will be.
然後說：上主，關於這地你親自說過，要將它消滅，使這地無人居住，成為人和走獸絕跡的荒野。
63 And it will be when finishing you to read aloud the scroll this you will tie on it a stone and you will throw it into [the] middle of [the] Euphrates.
你朗誦完了這本書以後，在書上繫上一塊石頭，把書拋在幼發拉的河中，
64 And you will say thus it will sink Babylon and not it will rise because of the calamity which I [am] about to bring on it and they will grow weary [are] to here [the] words of Jeremiah.
然後說：巴比倫也要如此沉沒，再也不能由我給她招來的災禍中復興。」耶肋米亞的話至此為止。
