Jeremiah 49
1 `Go ye to the sones of Amon. The Lord seith these thingis. Whether no sones ben of Israel, ether an eir is not to it? whi therfor weldide Melchon the eritage of Gad, and the puple therof dwellide in the citees of Gad?
論亞捫人。耶和華如此說： 以色列沒有兒子嗎？ 沒有後嗣嗎？ 瑪勒堪為何得迦得之地為業呢？ 屬他的民為何住其中的城邑呢？
2 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal make the gnaisting of batel herd on Rabath of the sones of Amon; and it schal be distried in to noise, and the vilagis therof schulen be brent with fier, and Israel schal welde hise welderis, seith the Lord.
耶和華說： 日子將到，我必使人聽見打仗的喊聲， 是攻擊亞捫人拉巴的喊聲。 拉巴要成為亂堆； 屬她的鄉村要被火焚燒。 先前得以色列地為業的， 此時以色列倒要得他們的地為業。 這是耶和華說的。
3 Yelle ye, Esebon, for Hay is distried; crie, ye douytris of Rabath, girde you with heiris, weile ye, and cumpasse bi heggis; for whi Melchon schal be lad in to passyng ouer, the prestis therof and princes therof togidere.
希實本哪，你要哀號， 因為愛地變為荒場。 拉巴的居民哪，要呼喊， 以麻布束腰； 要哭號，在籬笆中跑來跑去； 因瑪勒堪和屬他的祭司、 首領要一同被擄去。
4 What hast thou glorie in valeis? Thi valeis fleet awei, thou delicat douyter, that haddist trist in thi tresours, and seidist, Who schal come to me?
背道的民哪， 你們為何因有山谷， 就是水流的山谷誇張呢？ 為何倚靠財寶說： 誰能來到我們這裏呢？
5 Lo! Y schal bringe in drede on thee, seith the Lord God of oostis, God of Israel, of alle men that ben in thi cumpasse; and ye schulen be scaterid, ech bi hym silf, fro youre siyt, and noon schal be, that gadere hem that fleen.
主－萬軍之耶和華說： 我要使恐嚇從四圍的人中臨到你們； 你們必被趕出， 各人一直前往， 沒有人收聚逃民。
6 And after these thingis Y schal make the fleeris and prisoneris of the sones of Amon to turne ayen, seith the Lord.
後來我還要使被擄的亞捫人歸回。 這是耶和華說的。
7 To Ydumee the Lord God of oostis seith these thingis. Whether wisdom is no more in Theman? Councel perischide fro sones, the wisdom of hem is maad vnprofitable.
論以東。萬軍之耶和華如此說： 提幔中再沒有智慧嗎？ 明哲人不再有謀略嗎？ 他們的智慧盡歸無有嗎？
8 Fle ye, and turne ye backis; go doun in to a swolowe, ye dwelleris of Dedan, for Y haue brouyt the perdicioun of Esau on hym, the tyme of his visitacioun.
底但的居民哪，要轉身逃跑， 住在深密處； 因為我向以掃追討的時候， 必使災殃臨到他。
9 If gadereris of grapis hadden come on thee, thei schulden haue left a clustre; if theues in the niyt, thei schulden haue rauyschid that that suffiside to hem.
摘葡萄的若來到他那裏， 豈不剩下些葡萄呢？ 盜賊若夜間而來， 豈不毀壞直到夠了呢？
10 Forsothe Y haue vnhilid Esau, and Y haue schewid the hid thingis of hym, and he mai not mow be hid; his seed is distried, and hise britheren, and hise neiyboris, and it schal not be.
我卻使以掃赤露， 顯出他的隱密處； 他不能自藏。 他的後裔、弟兄、鄰舍盡都滅絕； 他也歸於無有。
11 Forsake thi fadirles children, and Y schal make hem to lyue, and thi widewis schulen hope in me.
你撇下孤兒，我必保全他們的命； 你的寡婦可以倚靠我。
12 For the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! thei drynkynge schulen drynke, to whiche was no doom, that thei schulden drynke the cuppe. And `schalt thou be left as innocent? thou schalt not be innocent, but thou drynkynge schalt drynke.
耶和華如此說：「原不該喝那杯的一定要喝。你能盡免刑罰嗎？你必不能免，一定要喝！」
13 For Y swoor bi my silf, seith the Lord, that Bosra schal be in to wildirnesse, and in to schenschipe, and in to forsakyng, and in to cursyng; and alle the citees therof schulen be in to euerlastynge wildirnessis.
耶和華說：「我指着自己起誓，波斯拉必令人驚駭、羞辱、咒詛，並且荒涼。她的一切城邑必變為永遠的荒場。」
14 I herde an heryng of the Lord, and Y am sent a messanger to hethene men; be ye gaderid togidere, and come ye ayens it, and rise we togidere in to batel.
我從耶和華那裏聽見信息， 並有使者被差往列國去，說： 你們聚集來攻擊以東， 要起來爭戰。
15 For lo! Y haue youe thee a litil oon among hethene men, despisable among men.
我使你在列國中為最小， 在世人中被藐視。
16 Thi boost, and the pride of thin herte, hath disseyued thee, that dwellist in the caues of stoon, and enforsist to take the hiynesse of a litil hil; whanne thou as an egle hast reisid thi nest, fro thennus Y schal drawe thee doun, seith the Lord.
住在山穴中據守山頂的啊， 論到你的威嚇， 你因心中的狂傲自欺； 你雖如大鷹高高搭窩， 我卻從那裏拉下你來。 這是耶和華說的。
17 And Ydumee schal be forsakun; ech man that schal passe bi it, schal wondre, and schal hisse on alle the woundis therof;
「以東必令人驚駭；凡經過的人就受驚駭，又因她一切的災禍嗤笑。
18 as Sodom and Gommor is distried, and the niy citees therof, seith the Lord. A man schal not dwelle there, and the sone of man schal not enhabite it.
耶和華說：必無人住在那裏，也無人在其中寄居，要像所多瑪、蛾摩拉，和鄰近的城邑傾覆的時候一樣。
19 Lo! as a lioun he schal stie, fro the pride of Jordan to the strong fairnesse; for Y schal make hym renne sudenli to it; and who schal be the chosun man, whom Y schal sette bifore hym? For who is lijk to me, and who schal suffre me? and who is this scheepherde, that schal ayenstonde my cheer?
仇敵必像獅子從約旦河邊的叢林上來，攻擊堅固的居所。轉眼之間，我要使以東人逃跑，離開這地。誰蒙揀選，我就派誰治理這地。誰能比我呢？誰能給我定規日期呢？有何牧人能在我面前站立得住呢？
20 Therfor here ye the councel of the Lord, which he took of Edom, and his thouytis, whiche he thouyte of the dwelleris of Theman. If the litle of the floc caste not hem doun, if thei distrien not with hem the dwellyng of hem, ellis no man yyue credence to me.
你們要聽耶和華攻擊以東所說的謀略和他攻擊提幔居民所定的旨意。仇敵定要將他們群眾微弱的拉去，定要使他們的居所荒涼。
21 The erthe was mouyd of the vois of fallyng of hem; the cry of vois therof was herd in the reed see.
因他們仆倒的聲音，地就震動。人在紅海那裏必聽見呼喊的聲音。
22 Lo! as an egle he schal stie, and fle out, and he schal sprede abrood hise wynges on Bosra; and the herte of the strong men of Idumee schal be in that dai, as the herte of a womman trauelynge of child.
仇敵必如大鷹飛起，展開翅膀攻擊波斯拉。到那日，以東的勇士心中疼痛如臨產的婦人。」
23 To Damask. Emath is schent, and Arphath, for thei herden a ful wickid heryng; thei weren disturblid in the see, for angwisch thei miyten not haue reste.
論大馬士革。 哈馬和亞珥拔蒙羞， 因他們聽見凶惡的信息就消化了。 海上有憂愁，不得平靜。
24 Damask was discoumfortid, it was turned in to fliyt; tremblyng took it, angwischis and sorewis helden it, as a womman trauelynge of child.
大馬士革發軟，轉身逃跑。 戰兢將她捉住； 痛苦憂愁將她抓住， 如產難的婦人一樣。
25 How forsoken thei a preisable citee, the citee of gladnesse?
我所喜樂可稱讚的城， 為何被撇棄了呢？
26 Therfor the yonge men therof schulen falle in the stretis therof, and alle men of batel schulen be stille in that dai, seith the Lord of oostis.
她的少年人必仆倒在街上； 當那日，一切兵丁必默默無聲。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
27 And Y schal kyndle fier in the wal of Damask, and it schal deuoure the bildyngis of Benadab.
我必在大馬士革城中使火着起， 燒滅便‧哈達的宮殿。
28 To Cedar, and to the rewme of Azor, which Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, smoot, the Lord seith these thingis. Rise ye, and stie to Cedar, and distrie ye the sones of the eest.
論巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒所攻打的基達和夏瑣的諸國。耶和華如此說： 迦勒底人哪，起來上基達去， 毀滅東方人。
29 Thei schulen take the tabernaclis of hem, and the flockis of hem; thei schulen take to hem the skynnes of hem, and alle the vessels of hem, and the camels of hem; and thei schulen clepe on hem inward drede in cumpas.
他們的帳棚和羊群都要奪去， 將幔子和一切器皿，並駱駝為自己掠去。 人向他們喊着說： 四圍都有驚嚇。
30 Fle ye, go ye awei greetli, ye that dwellen in Asor, sitte in swolewis, seith the Lord. For whi Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, hath take councel ayens you, and he thouyte thouytis ayens you.
耶和華說： 夏瑣的居民哪，要逃奔遠方， 住在深密處； 因為巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒設計謀害你們， 起意攻擊你們。
31 Rise ye togidere, and stie ye to a pesible folk, and dwellinge tristili, seith the Lord; not doris nether barris ben to it, thei dwellen aloone.
耶和華說： 迦勒底人哪，起來！ 上安逸無慮的居民那裏去； 他們是無門無閂、獨自居住的。
32 And the camels of hem schulen be in to rauyschyng, and the multitude of her beestis in to prey; and Y schal schatere hem in to ech wynd, that ben biclippid on the long heer, and bi ech coost of hem Y schal brynge perischyng on hem, seith the Lord.
他們的駱駝必成為掠物； 他們眾多的牲畜必成為擄物。 我必將剃周圍頭髮的人分散四方， 使災殃從四圍臨到他們。 這是耶和華說的。
33 And Asor schal be in to a dwellyng place of dragouns; it schal be forsakun `til in to withouten ende; a man schal not dwelle there, nether the sone of man schal enhabite it.
夏瑣必成為野狗的住處， 永遠淒涼； 必無人住在那裏， 也無人在其中寄居。
34 The word of the Lord that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens Elam, in the bigynnyng of the rewme of Sedechie,
猶大王西底家登基的時候，耶和華論以攔的話臨到先知耶利米說：
35 kyng of Juda, and seide, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal breke the bowe of Elam, and Y schal take the strengthe of hem.
「萬軍之耶和華如此說：我必折斷以攔人的弓，就是他們為首的權力。
36 And I schal bringe on Elam foure wyndis; fro foure coostis of heuene, and Y schal wyndewe hem in to alle these wyndis, and no folc schal be, to which the fleeris of Elam schulen not come.
我要使四風從天的四方颳來，臨到以攔人，將他們分散四方。這被趕散的人沒有一國不到的。」
37 And Y schal make Elam for to drede bifore her enemyes, and in the siyt of men sekynge the lijf of hem; and Y schal brynge on hem yuel, the wraththe of my strong veniaunce, seith the Lord; and Y schal sende after hem a swerd, til Y waste hem.
耶和華說：「我必使以攔人在仇敵和尋索其命的人面前驚惶；我也必使災禍，就是我的烈怒臨到他們，又必使刀劍追殺他們，直到將他們滅盡。
38 And Y schal sette my kyngis seete in Elam, and Y schal leese therof kyngis, and princes, seith the Lord.
我要在以攔設立我的寶座，從那裏除滅君王和首領。這是耶和華說的。
39 But in the laste daies Y schal make the prisoneris of Elam to turne ayen, seith the Lord.
「到末後，我還要使被擄的以攔人歸回。這是耶和華說的。」
