< Jeremiah 48 >
1 This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
论摩押。万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说: 尼波有祸了!因变为荒场。 基列亭蒙羞被攻取; 米斯迦蒙羞被毁坏;
2 No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
摩押不再被称赞。 有人在希实本设计谋害她,说: 来吧!我们将她剪除,不再成国。 玛得缅哪,你也必默默无声; 刀剑必追赶你。
3 Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
从何罗念有喊荒凉大毁灭的哀声:
4 [All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
摩押毁灭了! 她的孩童发哀声,使人听见。
5 They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
人上鲁希坡随走随哭, 因为在何罗念的下坡听见毁灭的哀声。
6 [Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
你们要奔逃,自救性命, 独自居住,好像旷野的杜松。
7 But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的财宝必被攻取。 基抹和属他的祭司、首领也要一同被掳去。
8 All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
行毁灭的必来到各城, 并无一城得免。 山谷必致败落, 平原必被毁坏; 正如耶和华所说的。
9 Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
要将翅膀给摩押, 使她可以飞去。 她的城邑必致荒凉, 无人居住。 (
10 Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
懒惰为耶和华行事的,必受咒诅;禁止刀剑不经血的,必受咒诅。)
11 [The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
摩押自幼年以来常享安逸, 如酒在渣滓上澄清, 没有从这器皿倒在那器皿里, 也未曾被掳去。 因此,它的原味尚存, 香气未变。
12 But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
耶和华说:“日子将到,我必打发倒酒的往她那里去,将她倒出来,倒空她的器皿,打碎她的坛子。
13 Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
摩押必因基抹羞愧,像以色列家从前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一样。
14 [The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
你们怎么说: 我们是勇士,是有勇力打仗的呢?
15 But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
摩押变为荒场, 敌人上去进了她的城邑。 她所特选的少年人下去遭了杀戮; 这是君王—名为万军之耶和华说的。
16 Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
摩押的灾殃临近; 她的苦难速速来到。
17 You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
凡在她四围的和认识她名的, 你们都要为她悲伤,说: 那结实的杖和那美好的棍, 何竟折断了呢?
18 You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
住在底本的民哪, 要从你荣耀的位上下来, 坐受干渴; 因毁灭摩押的上来攻击你, 毁坏了你的保障。
19 You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
住亚罗珥的啊, 要站在道旁观望, 问逃避的男人和逃脱的女人说: 是什么事呢?
20 [They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
摩押因毁坏蒙羞; 你们要哀号呼喊, 要在亚嫩旁报告说: 摩押变为荒场!
21 [Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
“刑罚临到平原之地的何伦、雅杂、米法押、
22 Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
底本、尼波、伯·低比拉太音、
23 Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
基列亭、伯·迦末、伯·米恩、
24 Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
加略、波斯拉,和摩押地远近所有的城邑。
25 Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
摩押的角砍断了,摩押的膀臂折断了。这是耶和华说的。”
26 [You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
“你们要使摩押沉醉,因她向耶和华夸大。她要在自己所吐之中打滚,又要被人嗤笑。
27 You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
摩押啊,你不曾嗤笑以色列吗?她岂是在贼中查出来的呢?你每逢提到她便摇头。
28 You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
摩押的居民哪, 要离开城邑,住在山崖里, 像鸽子在深渊口上搭窝。
29 We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
我们听说摩押人骄傲, 是极其骄傲; 听说他自高自傲, 并且狂妄,居心自大。
30 But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
耶和华说: 我知道他的忿怒是虚空的; 他夸大的话一无所成。
31 So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
因此,我要为摩押哀号, 为摩押全地呼喊; 人必为吉珥·哈列设人叹息。
32 You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
西比玛的葡萄树啊,我为你哀哭, 甚于雅谢人哀哭。 你的枝子蔓延过海, 直长到雅谢海。 那行毁灭的已经临到你夏天的果子 和你所摘的葡萄。
33 But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
肥田和摩押地的欢喜快乐都被夺去; 我使酒榨的酒绝流, 无人踹酒欢呼; 那欢呼却变为仇敌的呐喊。
34 Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
“希实本人发的哀声达到以利亚利,直达到雅杂;从琐珥达到何罗念,直到伊基拉·施利施亚,因为宁林的水必然干涸。”
35 [I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
耶和华说:“我必在摩押地使那在邱坛献祭的,和那向他的神烧香的都断绝了。
36 I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
我心腹为摩押哀鸣如箫,我心肠为吉珥·哈列设人也是如此,因摩押人所得的财物都灭没了。
37 The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
“各人头上光秃,胡须剪短,手有划伤,腰束麻布。
38 In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
在摩押的各房顶上和街市上处处有人哀哭;因我打碎摩押,好像打碎无人喜悦的器皿。这是耶和华说的。
39 Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
摩押何等毁坏!何等哀号!何等羞愧转背!这样,摩押必令四围的人嗤笑惊骇。”
40 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
耶和华如此说: 仇敌必如大鹰飞起, 展开翅膀,攻击摩押。
41 Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
加略被攻取,保障也被占据。 到那日,摩押的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。
42 [The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
摩押必被毁灭,不再成国, 因她向耶和华夸大。
43 [I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
耶和华说:摩押的居民哪, 恐惧、陷坑、网罗都临近你。
44 Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
躲避恐惧的必坠入陷坑; 从陷坑上来的必被网罗缠住; 因我必使追讨之年临到摩押。 这是耶和华说的。
45 The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
躲避的人无力站在希实本的影下; 因为有火从希实本发出, 有火焰出于西宏的城, 烧尽摩押的角和哄嚷人的头顶。
46 [You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
摩押啊,你有祸了! 属基抹的民灭亡了! 因你的众子都被掳去, 你的众女也被掳去。
47 But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
耶和华说: 到末后,我还要使被掳的摩押人归回。 摩押受审判的话到此为止。
