< Jeremiah 50 >
1 The word which the Lord spak of Babiloyne, and of the lond of Caldeis, in the hond of Jeremye, the profete.
耶和华借先知耶利米论巴比伦和迦勒底人之地所说的话。
2 Telle ye among hethene men, and make ye herd; reise ye a signe; preche ye, and nyle ye holde stille; seie ye, Babiloyne is takun, Bel is schent, Maradach is ouer comun; the grauun ymagis therof ben schent, the idols of hem ben ouer comun.
你们要在万国中传扬报告, 竖立大旗; 要报告,不可隐瞒,说: 巴比伦被攻取, 彼勒蒙羞, 米罗达惊惶。 巴比伦的神像都蒙羞; 她的偶像都惊惶。
3 For a folk schal stie fro the north ayenus it, which folk schal sette the lond therof in to wildirnesse; and noon schal be that schal dwelle therynne, fro man `til to beeste; and thei ben moued, and yeden a wei.
“因有一国从北方上来攻击她,使她的地荒凉,无人居住,连人带牲畜都逃走了。”
4 In tho daies, and in that tyme, seith the Lord, the sones of Israel schulen come, thei and the sones of Juda togidere, goynge and wepynge; thei schulen haaste, and seke her Lord God in Sion,
耶和华说:“当那日子、那时候,以色列人要和犹大人同来,随走随哭,寻求耶和华—他们的 神。
5 and thei schulen axe the weie. Hidur the faces of hem schulen come, and thei schulen be set to the Lord with boond of pees euerlastynge, which schal not be don awei by ony foryetyng.
他们必访问锡安,又面向这里,说:‘来吧,你们要与耶和华联合为永远不忘的约。’
6 My puple is maad a lost floc, the scheepherdis of hem disseyueden hem, and maden to go vnstabli in hillis; thei passiden fro mounteyn in to a litil hil, thei foryaten her bed.
“我的百姓作了迷失的羊,牧人使他们走差路,使他们转到山上。他们从大山走到小山,竟忘了安歇之处。
7 Alle men that founden, eeten hem, and the enemyes of hem seiden, We synneden not, for that thei synneden to the Lord, the fairnesse of riytfulnesse, and to the Lord, the abidyng of her fadris.
凡遇见他们的,就把他们吞灭。敌人说:‘我们没有罪;因他们得罪那作公义居所的耶和华,就是他们列祖所仰望的耶和华。’
8 Go ye awei fro the myddis of Babiloyne, and go ye out of the lond of Caldeis, and be ye as kydis bifore the floc.
“我民哪,你们要从巴比伦中逃走,从迦勒底人之地出去,要像羊群前面走的公山羊。
9 For lo! Y schal reise, and brynge in to Babiloyne the gaderyng togidere of grete folkis, fro the lond of the north; and thei schulen be maad redi ayens it, and it schal be takun in the dai; the arowe therof as of a strong man a sleere, schal not turne ayen voide.
因我必激动联合的大国从北方上来攻击巴比伦,他们要摆阵攻击她;她必从那里被攻取。他们的箭好像善射之勇士的箭,一枝也不徒然返回。
10 And Caldee schal be in to prey, alle that distrien it, schulen be fillid, seith the Lord.
迦勒底必成为掠物;凡掳掠她的都必心满意足。这是耶和华说的。”
11 For ye maken ful out ioye, and speken grete thingis, and rauyschen myn eritage; for ye ben sched out as caluys on erbe, and lowiden as bolis.
抢夺我产业的啊, 你们因欢喜快乐, 且像踹谷撒欢的母牛犊, 又像发嘶声的壮马。
12 Youre modir is schent greetli, and sche that gendride you, is maad euene to dust; lo! sche schal be the last among folkis, and forsakun, with out weie, and drie.
你们的母巴比伦就极其抱愧, 生你们的必然蒙羞。 她要列在诸国之末, 成为旷野、旱地、沙漠。
13 For the wraththe of the Lord it schal not be enhabitid, but it schal be dryuun al in to wildirnesse; ech that schal passe bi Babiloyne, schal wondre, and schal hisse on alle the woundis therof.
因耶和华的忿怒,必无人居住, 要全然荒凉。 凡经过巴比伦的要受惊骇, 又因她所遭的灾殃嗤笑。
14 Alle ye that beenden bowe, be maad redi ayens Babiloyne bi cumpas; ouercome ye it, spare ye not arowis, for it synnede to the Lord.
所有拉弓的,你们要在巴比伦的四围摆阵, 射箭攻击她。 不要爱惜箭枝, 因她得罪了耶和华。
15 Crye ye ayens it, euery where it yaf hond; the foundementis therof fellen doun, and the wallis therof ben distried; for it is the veniaunce of the Lord. Take ye veniaunce of it; as it dide, do ye to it.
你们要在她四围呐喊; 她已经投降。 外郭坍塌了, 城墙拆毁了, 因为这是耶和华报仇的事。 你们要向巴比伦报仇; 她怎样待人,也要怎样待她。
16 Leese ye a sowere of Babiloyne, and hym that holdith a sikil in the tyme of heruest, fro the face of swerd of the culuer; ech man schal be turned to his puple, and ech man schal flee to his lond.
你们要将巴比伦撒种的 和收割时拿镰刀的都剪除了。 他们各人因怕欺压的刀剑, 必归回本族,逃到本土。
17 Israel is a scaterid flok, liouns castiden out it; first kyng Assur eete it, this laste Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, dide awei the bonys therof.
“以色列是打散的羊,是被狮子赶出的。首先是亚述王将他吞灭,末后是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将他的骨头折断。”
18 Therfor the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal visite the kyng of Babiloyne, and his lond, as Y visitide the kyng of Assur;
所以万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:“我必罚巴比伦王和他的地,像我从前罚亚述王一样。
19 and Y schal brynge ayen Israel to his dwellyng place. Carmele and Baasan schal be fed, and his soule schal be fillid in the hil of Effraym, and of Galaad.
我必再领以色列回他的草场,他必在迦密和巴珊吃草,又在以法莲山上和基列境内得以饱足。”
20 In tho daies, and in that tyme, seith the Lord, the wickidnesse of Israel schal be souyt, and it schal not be; and the synne of Juda schal be souyt, and it schal not be foundun; for Y schal be merciful to hem, whiche Y schal forsake.
耶和华说:“当那日子、那时候,虽寻以色列的罪孽,一无所有;虽寻犹大的罪恶,也无所见;因为我所留下的人,我必赦免。”
21 Stie thou on the lond of lordis, and visite thou on the dwelleris therof; scatere thou, and sle tho thingis, that ben aftir hem, seith the Lord; and do thou bi alle thingis which Y comaundide to thee.
耶和华说:上去攻击米拉大翁之地, 又攻击比割的居民。 要追杀灭尽, 照我一切所吩咐你的去行。
22 The vois of batel and greet sorewe in the lond.
境内有打仗和大毁灭的响声。
23 Hou is the hamer of al erthe brokun and al defoulid? hou is Babiloyne turned in to desert, among hethene men?
全地的大锤何竟砍断破坏? 巴比伦在列国中何竟荒凉?
24 Babiloyne, Y haue snarid thee, and thou art takun, and thou wistist not; thou art foundun, and takun, for thou terridist the Lord to wraththe.
巴比伦哪,我为你设下网罗, 你不知不觉被缠住。 你被寻着,也被捉住; 因为你与耶和华争竞。
25 The Lord openide his tresour, and brouyte forth the vessels of his wraththe; for whi a werk is to the Lord God of oostis in the lond of Caldeis.
耶和华已经开了武库, 拿出他恼恨的兵器; 因为主—万军之耶和华 在迦勒底人之地有当做的事。
26 Come ye to it fro the fertheste endis, opene ye, that thei go out, that schulen defoule it; take ye awei stoonys fro the weie, and dryue ye in to heepis, and sle ye it, and nothing be residue.
你们要从极远的边界来攻击她, 开她的仓廪, 将她堆如高堆, 毁灭净尽,丝毫不留。
27 Distrie ye alle the stronge men therof, go thei doun in to sleynge; wo to hem, for the dai of hem cometh, the tyme of visityng of hem.
要杀她的一切牛犊, 使他们下去遭遇杀戮。 他们有祸了, 因为追讨他们的日子已经来到。 (
28 The vois of fleeris, and of hem that ascapiden fro the lond of Babiloyne, that thei telle in Sion the veniaunce of oure Lord God, the veniaunce of his temple.
有从巴比伦之地逃避出来的人,在锡安扬声报告耶和华—我们的 神报仇,就是为他的殿报仇。)
29 Telle ye ayens Babiloyne to ful many men, to alle that beenden bowe. Stonde ye togidere ayens it bi cumpas, and noon ascape; yelde ye to it aftir his werk, aftir alle thingis whiche it dide, do ye to it; for it was reisid ayens the Lord, ayens the hooli of Israel.
“招集一切弓箭手来攻击巴比伦。要在巴比伦四围安营,不要容一人逃脱,照着她所做的报应她;她怎样待人,也要怎样待她,因为她向耶和华—以色列的圣者发了狂傲。
30 Therfor yonge men therof schulen falle doun in the stretis therof, and alle men werriours therof schulen be stille in that dai, seith the Lord.
所以她的少年人必仆倒在街上。当那日,一切兵丁必默默无声。这是耶和华说的。”
31 Lo! thou proude, Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis, for thi dai is comun, the tyme of thi visitacioun.
主—万军之耶和华说: 你这狂傲的啊,我与你反对, 因为我追讨你的日子已经来到。
32 And the proude schal falle, and schal falle doun togidere, and noon schal be, that schal reise hym; and Y schal kyndle fier in the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure alle thingis in cumpas of it.
狂傲的必绊跌仆倒,无人扶起。 我也必使火在他的城邑中着起来, 将他四围所有的尽行烧灭。
33 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, The sones of Israel and the sones of Juda togidere suffren fals caleng; alle that token hem, holden, thei nylen delyuere hem.
万军之耶和华如此说:“以色列人和犹大人一同受欺压;凡掳掠他们的都紧紧抓住他们,不肯释放。
34 The ayenbyere of hem is strong, the Lord of oostis is his name; bi dom he schal defende the cause of hem, that he make the lond aferd, and stire togidere the dwelleris of Babiloyne.
他们的救赎主大有能力,万军之耶和华是他的名。他必伸清他们的冤,好使全地得平安,并搅扰巴比伦的居民。”
35 A swerd to Caldeis, seith the Lord, and to the dwelleris of Babiloyne, and to the princes, and to the wise men therof.
耶和华说:“有刀剑临到迦勒底人和巴比伦的居民, 并她的首领与智慧人。
36 A swerd to the false dyuynours therof, that schulen be foolis; a swerd to the stronge men therof, that schulen drede.
有刀剑临到矜夸的人, 他们就成为愚昧; 有刀剑临到她的勇士, 他们就惊惶。
37 Swerd to the horsis therof, and to the charis therof, and to al the comyn puple whiche is in the myddis therof, and thei schulen be as wymmen; a swerd to the tresours therof, that schulen be rauyschid.
有刀剑临到她的马匹、车辆, 和其中杂族的人民; 他们必像妇女一样。 有刀剑临到她的宝物, 就被抢夺。
38 Drynesse schal be on the watris therof, and tho schulen be drye; for it is the lond of grauun ymagis, and hath glorie in false feynyngis.
有干旱临到她的众水, 就必干涸; 因为这是有雕刻偶像之地, 人因偶像而颠狂。
39 Therfor dragouns schulen dwelle with fonned wielde men, and ostrigis schulen dwelle therynne; and it schal no more be enhabitid `til in to with outen ende, and it schal not be bildid `til to generacioun and generacioun;
所以旷野的走兽和豺狼必住在那里,鸵鸟也住在其中,永无人烟,世世代代无人居住。”
40 as the Lord distriede Sodom and Gomorre, and the niy citees therof, seith the Lord. A man schal not dwelle there, and the sone of man schal not dwelle in it.
耶和华说:“必无人住在那里,也无人在其中寄居,要像我倾覆所多玛、蛾摩拉,和邻近的城邑一样。
41 Lo! a puple cometh fro the north, and a greet folc, and many kyngis schulen rise togidere fro the endis of erthe.
看哪,有一种民从北方而来, 并有一大国和许多君王被激动,从地极来到。
42 Thei schulen take bowe and swerd, thei ben cruel and vnmerciful; the vois of hem schal sowne as the see, and thei schulen stie on horsis as a man maad redi to batel, ayens thee, thou douyter of Babiloyne.
他们拿弓和枪, 性情残忍,不施怜悯; 他们的声音像海浪匉訇。 巴比伦城啊, 他们骑马, 都摆队伍如上战场的人, 要攻击你。
43 The kyng of Babiloyne herde the fame of hem, and hise hondis ben aclumsid; angwisch took hym, sorewe took hym, as a womman trauelynge of child.
巴比伦王听见他们的风声, 手就发软, 痛苦将他抓住, 疼痛仿佛产难的妇人。
44 Lo! as a lioun he schal stie fro the pride of Jordan to the stronge fairnesse, for Y schal make hym to renne sudenli to it; and who schal be the chosun man, whom Y schal sette bifore him? For who is lijk me? and who schal suffre me? and who is this scheepherde, that schal ayenstonde my cheer?
“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,我要使他们逃跑,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?
45 Therfore here ye the councel of the Lord, which he conseyuede in mynde ayens Babiloyne, and hise thouytis, whiche he thouyte on the lond of Caldeis, no but the litle of the flockis drawen hem doun, no but the dwellyng place of hem be destried with hem, ellis no man yyue credence to me.
你们要听耶和华攻击巴比伦所说的谋略和他攻击迦勒底人之地所定的旨意。仇敌定要将他们群众微弱的拉去,定要使他们的居所荒凉。
46 The erthe is mouyd of the vois of caitiftee of Babiloyne, and cry is herd among hethene men.
因巴比伦被取的声音,地就震动,人在列邦都听见呼喊的声音。”
