Jeremiah 51
1 The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise on Babiloyne, and on the dwelleris therof, that reisiden her herte ayens me, as a wynd of pestilence.
耶和华如此说： 我必使毁灭的风刮起， 攻击巴比伦和住在立加米的人。
2 And Y schal sende in to Babiloyne wyndeweris, and thei schulen wyndewe it, and thei schulen destrie the lond of it; for thei camen on it on ech side, in the dai of the turment therof.
我要打发外邦人来到巴比伦， 簸扬她，使她的地空虚。 在她遭祸的日子， 他们要周围攻击她。
3 He that beendith his bowe, beende not, and a man clothid in haburioun, stie not; nyle ye spare the yonge men therof, sle ye al the chyualrie therof.
拉弓的，要向拉弓的和贯甲挺身的射箭。 不要怜惜她的少年人； 要灭尽她的全军。
4 And slayn men schulen falle in the lond of Caldeis, and woundid men in the cuntreis therof.
他们必在迦勒底人之地被杀仆倒， 在巴比伦的街上被刺透。
5 For whi Israel and Juda was not maad widewe fro her God, the Lord of oostis; but the lond of hem was fillid with trespas of the hooli of Israel.
以色列和犹大虽然境内充满违背以色列圣者的罪， 却没有被他的 神—万军之耶和华丢弃。
6 Fle ye fro the myddis of Babiloyne, that ech man saue his soule; nyle ye be stille on the wickidnesse therof, for whi tyme of veniaunce therof is to the Lord; he schal yelde while to it.
你们要从巴比伦中逃奔， 各救自己的性命！ 不要陷在她的罪孽中一同灭亡； 因为这是耶和华报仇的时候， 他必向巴比伦施行报应。
7 Babiloyne is a goldun cuppe in the hond of the Lord, and fillith al erthe; hethene men drunken of the wyn therof, and therfor thei ben mouyd.
巴比伦素来是耶和华手中的金杯， 使天下沉醉； 万国喝了她的酒就颠狂了。
8 Babiloyne felle doun sudenli, and is al to-brokun; yelle ye on it, take ye recyn to the sorewe therof, if perauenture it be heelid.
巴比伦忽然倾覆毁坏； 要为她哀号； 为止她的疼痛， 拿乳香或者可以治好。
9 We heeliden Babiloyne, and it is not maad hool; forsake we it and go we ech in to his lond; for the doom therof cam `til to heuenes, and is reisid `til to cloudis.
我们想医治巴比伦， 她却没有治好。 离开她吧！我们各人归回本国； 因为她受的审判通于上天，达到穹苍。
10 The Lord hath brouyt forth oure riytfulnessis; come ye, and telle we in Sion the werk of oure Lord God.
耶和华已经彰显我们的公义。 来吧！我们可以在锡安 报告耶和华—我们 神的作为。
11 Scharpe ye arowis, fille ye arowe caasis; the Lord reiside the spirit of the kyngis of Medeis, and his mynde is ayen Babiloyne, that he leese it, for it is the veniaunce of the Lord, the veniaunce of his temple. The kyng of Medeis is reisid of the Lord ayens Babiloyne.
你们要磨尖了箭头， 抓住盾牌。 耶和华定意攻击巴比伦，将她毁灭，所以激动了米底亚君王的心；因这是耶和华报仇，就是为自己的殿报仇。
12 Reise ye a signe on the wallis of Babiloyne, encreesse ye kepyng, reise ye keperis, make ye redi buyschementis; for the Lord thouyte, and dide, what euer thing he spak ayens the dwelleris of Babiloyne.
你们要竖立大旗， 攻击巴比伦的城墙； 要坚固了望台， 派定守望的设下埋伏； 因为耶和华指着巴比伦居民所说的话、 所定的意，他已经作成。
13 A! thou Babiloyne, that dwellist on many watris, riche in thi tresours, thin ende cometh, the foote mesure of thi kittyng doun.
住在众水之上多有财宝的啊， 你的结局到了！ 你贪婪之量满了！
14 The Lord of oostis swoor bi his soule, that Y schal fille thee with men, as with bruke, and a myry song schal be sungun on thee.
万军之耶和华指着自己起誓说： 我必使敌人充满你，像蚂蚱一样； 他们必呐喊攻击你。
15 The Lord swoor, which made erthe bi his strengthe, made redy the world bi his wisdom, and stretchide forth heuenes bi his prudence.
耶和华用能力创造大地， 用智慧建立世界， 用聪明铺张穹苍。
16 Whanne he yyueth vois, watris ben multiplied in heuene; which Lord reisith cloudis fro the laste of erthe, made leitis in to reyn, and brouyt forth wynd of hise tresouris.
他一发声，空中便有多水激动； 他使云雾从地极上腾。 他造电随雨而闪， 从他府库中带出风来。
17 Ech man is maad a fool of kunnyng, ech wellere togidere is schent in a grauun ymage; for his wellyng togidere is fals, and a spirit is not in tho.
各人都成了畜类，毫无知识。 各银匠都因他的偶像羞愧； 他所铸的偶像本是虚假的， 其中并无气息，
18 The werkis ben veyn, and worthi of scorn; tho schulen perische in the tyme of her visityng.
都是虚无的，是迷惑人的工作， 到追讨的时候，必被除灭。
19 The part of Jacob is not as these thingis; for he that made alle thingis is the part of Jacob, and Israel is the septre of his eritage; the Lord of oostis is his name.
雅各的分不像这些， 因他是造作万有的主； 以色列也是他产业的支派。 万军之耶和华是他的名。
20 Thou hurtlist doun to me the instrumentis of batel, and Y schal hurtle doun folkis in thee, and Y schal leese rewmes in thee;
你是我争战的斧子和打仗的兵器； 我要用你打碎列国， 用你毁灭列邦；
21 and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an hors, and the ridere therof; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a chare, and the stiere therof;
用你打碎马和骑马的； 用你打碎战车和坐在其上的；
22 and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a man and womman; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an elde man and a child; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a yong man and a virgyn;
用你打碎男人和女人； 用你打碎老年人和少年人； 用你打碎壮丁和处女；
23 and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a scheepherde and his floc; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an erthetiliere and his yok beestis; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee duykis and magistratis.
用你打碎牧人和他的群畜； 用你打碎农夫和他一对牛； 用你打碎省长和副省长。
24 And Y schal yelde, seith the Lord, to Babiloyne, and to alle the dwelleris of Caldee, al her yuel, which thei diden in Sion, bifore youre iyen.
耶和华说：“我必在你们眼前报复巴比伦人和迦勒底居民在锡安所行的诸恶。”
25 Lo! Y, seith the Lord, to thee, thou hil berynge pestilence, which corrumpist al erthe. Y schal stretche forth myn hond on thee, and Y schal vnwlappe thee fro stoonys, and Y schal yyue thee in to an hil of brennyng.
耶和华说： 你这行毁灭的山哪， 就是毁灭天下的山， 我与你反对。 我必向你伸手， 将你从山岩滚下去， 使你成为烧毁的山。
26 And Y schal not take of thee a stoon in to a corner, and a stoon in to foundementis; but thou schalt be lost with outen ende, seith the Lord.
人必不从你那里取石头为房角石， 也不取石头为根基石； 你必永远荒凉。 这是耶和华说的。
27 Reise ye a signe in the lond, sowne ye with a clarioun in hillis; halewe ye folkis on it, telle ye to the kyngis of Ararath, of Menny, and of Ascheneth ayens it; noumbre ye Tapser ayens it, and bringe ye an hors, as a bruke hauynge a pricke.
要在境内竖立大旗， 在各国中吹角， 使列国预备攻击巴比伦， 将亚拉腊、米尼、亚实基拿各国招来攻击她； 又派军长来攻击她， 使马匹上来如蚂蚱，
28 Halowe ye folkis ayens it, the kyngis of Medey, the duykis therof, and alle magistratis therof, and al the lond of his power.
使列国和米底亚君王，与省长和副省长， 并他们所管全地之人，都预备攻击她。
29 And the erthe schal be mouyd, and schal be disturblid; for the thouyt of the Lord schal fulli wake ayens Babiloyne, that he sette the lond of Babiloyne desert, and vnhabitable.
地必震动而瘠苦； 因耶和华向巴比伦所定的旨意成立了， 使巴比伦之地荒凉，无人居住。
30 The stronge men of Babiloyne ceessiden of batel, thei dwelliden in stronge holdis; the strengthe of hem is deuourid, and thei ben maad as wymmen; the tabernaclis therof ben brent, the barris therof ben al to-brokun.
巴比伦的勇士止息争战， 藏在坚垒之中。 他们的勇力衰尽，好像妇女一样。 巴比伦的住处有火着起， 门闩都折断了。
31 A rennere schal come ayens a rennere, and a messanger ayens a messanger, to telle to the kyng of Babiloyne, that his citee is takun fro the toon ende `til to the tother ende;
跑报的要彼此相遇， 送信的要互相迎接， 报告巴比伦王说： 城的四方被攻取了，
32 and the forthis ben bifore ocupied, and the mareisis ben brent with fier, and the men werryours ben disturblid.
渡口被占据了， 苇塘被火烧了， 兵丁也惊慌了。
33 For the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, The douyter of Babiloyne is as a corn floor, the tyme of threischyng therof; yit a litil, and the tyme of repyng therof schal come.
万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说： 巴比伦城好像踹谷的禾场； 再过片时，收割她的时候就到了。
34 Nabugodonosor, the kyng of Babiloyne, eet me, and deuouride me; he made me as a voide vessel, he as a dragoun swolewide me; he fillide his wombe with my tendirnesse, and he castide me out.
以色列人说： 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒吞灭我，压碎我， 使我成为空虚的器皿。 他像大鱼将我吞下， 用我的美物充满他的肚腹， 又将我赶出去。
35 Wickidnesse ayens me, and my fleisch on Babiloyne, seith the dwellyng of Sion; and my blood on the dwelleris of Caldee, seith Jerusalem.
锡安的居民要说： 巴比伦以强暴待我， 损害我的身体， 愿这罪归给她。 耶路撒冷人要说： 愿流我们血的罪归到迦勒底的居民。
36 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal deme thi cause, and Y schal venge thi veniaunce; and Y schal make the see therof forsakun, and Y schal make drie the veyne therof.
所以，耶和华如此说： 我必为你伸冤，为你报仇； 我必使巴比伦的海枯竭，使她的泉源干涸。
37 And Babiloyne schal be in to biriels, it schal be the dwellyng of dragouns, wondryng and hissyng, for that no dwellere is.
巴比伦必成为乱堆，为野狗的住处， 令人惊骇、嗤笑， 并且无人居住。
38 Thei schulen rore togidere as liouns, and thei schulen schake lockis, as the whelpis of liouns.
他们要像少壮狮子咆哮， 像小狮子吼叫。
39 In the heete of hem Y schal sette the drynkis of hem; and Y schal make hem drunkun, that thei be brouyt asleepe, and that thei slepe euerlastynge sleep, and rise not, seith the Lord.
他们火热的时候， 我必为他们设摆酒席， 使他们沉醉，好叫他们快乐， 睡了长觉，永不醒起。 这是耶和华说的。
40 Y schal lede forth hem, as lambren to slayn sacrifice, and as wetheris with kidis. Hou is Sesac takun, and the noble citee of al erthe is takun?
我必使他们像羊羔、 像公绵羊和公山羊下到宰杀之地。
41 Hou is Babiloyne made in to wondre among hethene men?
示沙克何竟被攻取？ 天下所称赞的何竟被占据？ 巴比伦在列国中何竟变为荒场？
42 And the see stiede on Babiloyne, it was hilid with the multitude of hise wawis.
海水涨起，漫过巴比伦； 她被许多海浪遮盖。
43 The citees therof ben maad in to wondryng, the lond is maad vnhabitable and forsakun; the lond wherynne no man dwellith, and the sone of man schal not passe bi it.
她的城邑变为荒场、旱地、沙漠， 无人居住，无人经过之地。
44 And Y schal visite on Bel in to Babiloyne, and Y schal caste out of hise mouth that, that he hadde swolewid, and folkis schulen no more flowe to it; for also the wal of Babiloyne schal falle doun.
我必刑罚巴比伦的彼勒， 使他吐出所吞的。 万民必不再流归他那里； 巴比伦的城墙也必坍塌了。
45 Mi puple, go ye out fro the myddis therof, that ech man saue his soule fro the wraththe of the strong veniaunce of the Lord;
我的民哪，你们要从其中出去！ 各人拯救自己，躲避耶和华的烈怒。
46 and lest perauenture youre herte wexe neische, and lest ye dreden the heryng, that schal be herd in the lond; and heryng schal come in a yeer, and aftir this yeer schal come heryng and wickidnesse in the lond, and a lord on a lord.
你们不要心惊胆怯， 也不要因境内所听见的风声惧怕； 因为这年有风声传来； 那年也有风声传来， 境内有强暴的事， 官长攻击官长。
47 Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal visite on the grauun ymagis of Babiloyne; and al the lond therof schal be schent, and alle slayn men therof schulen falle doun in the myddis therof.
日子将到，我必刑罚巴比伦雕刻的偶像。 她全地必然抱愧； 她被杀的人必在其中仆倒。
48 And heuenes, and erthis, and alle thingis that ben in tho, schulen herie on Babiloyne; for rauynours schulen come fro the north to it, seith the Lord.
那时，天地和其中所有的， 必因巴比伦欢呼， 因为行毁灭的要从北方来到她那里。 这是耶和华说的。
49 And as Babiloyne dide, that slayn men felle doun in Israel, so of Babiloyne slayn men schulen falle doun and in al the lond.
巴比伦怎样使以色列被杀的人仆倒， 照样她全地被杀的人也必在巴比伦仆倒。
50 Come ye, that fledden the swerd, nyle ye stonde; haue ye mynde afer on the Lord, and Jerusalem stie on youre herte.
你们躲避刀剑的要快走， 不要站住！ 要在远方记念耶和华， 心中追想耶路撒冷。
51 We ben schent, for we herden schenschipe; schame hilide oure faces, for aliens comen on the halewyng of the hous of the Lord.
我们听见辱骂就蒙羞，满面惭愧， 因为外邦人进入耶和华殿的圣所。
52 Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal visite on the grauun ymagis of Babiloyne, and in al the lond therof a woundid man schal loowe.
耶和华说： 日子将到，我必刑罚巴比伦雕刻的偶像， 通国受伤的人必唉哼。
53 If Babiloyne stieth in to heuene, and makith stidfast his strengthe an hiy, distrieris therof schulen come on me, seith the Lord.
巴比伦虽升到天上， 虽使她坚固的高处更坚固， 还有行毁灭的从我这里到她那里。 这是耶和华说的。
54 The vois of a criere of Babiloyne, and greet sorewe of the lond of Caldeis,
有哀号的声音从巴比伦出来； 有大毁灭的响声从迦勒底人之地发出。
55 for the Lord distriede Babiloyne, and lost of it a greet vois; and the wawis of hem schulen sowne as many watris. The vois of hem yaf sown,
因耶和华使巴比伦变为荒场， 使其中的大声灭绝。 仇敌仿佛众水， 波浪匉訇，响声已经发出。
56 for a rauenour cam on it, that is, on Babiloyne; and the stronge men therof ben takun, and the bouwe of hem welewide, for the stronge vengere the Lord yeldynge schal yelde.
这是行毁灭的临到巴比伦。 巴比伦的勇士被捉住， 他们的弓折断了； 因为耶和华是施行报应的 神， 必定施行报应。
57 And Y schal make drunkun the princis therof, and the wise men therof, the duykis therof, and the magistratis therof, and the stronge men therof; and thei schulen slepe euerlastynge sleep, and thei schulen not be awakid, seith the kyng, the Lord of oostis is name of hym.
君王—名为万军之耶和华的说： 我必使巴比伦的首领、 智慧人、省长、副省长，和勇士都沉醉， 使他们睡了长觉，永不醒起。
58 The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis, Thilke brodeste wal of Babiloyne schal be mynyd with mynyng, and the hiye yatis therof schulen be brent with fier; and the trauels of puples schulen be to nouyt, and the trauels of hethene men schulen be in to fier, and schulen perische.
万军之耶和华如此说： 巴比伦宽阔的城墙必全然倾倒； 她高大的城门必被火焚烧。 众民所劳碌的必致虚空； 列国所劳碌的被火焚烧， 他们都必困乏。
59 The word which Jeremye, the profete, comaundide to Saraie, sone of Nerie, sone of Maasie, whanne he yede with Sedechie, the kyng, in to Babiloyne, in the fourthe yeer of his rewme; forsothe Saraie was prynce of profesie.
犹大王西底家在位第四年，上巴比伦去的时候，玛西雅的孙子、尼利亚的儿子西莱雅与王同去（西莱雅是王宫的大臣），先知耶利米有话吩咐他。
60 And Jeremye wroot al the yuel, that was to comynge on Babiloyne, in a book, alle these wordis that weren writun ayens Babiloyne.
耶利米将一切要临到巴比伦的灾祸，就是论到巴比伦的一切话，写在书上。
61 And Jeremye seide to Saraie, Whanne thou comest in to Babiloyne, and seest, and redist alle these wordis,
耶利米对西莱雅说：“你到了巴比伦务要念这书上的话；
62 thou schalt seie, Lord, thou spakist ayens this place, that thou schuldist leese it, that noon be that dwelle therynne, fro man `til to beeste, and that it be an euerlastynge wildirnesse.
又说：‘耶和华啊，你曾论到这地方说：要剪除，甚至连人带牲畜没有在这里居住的，必永远荒凉。’
63 And whanne thou hast fillid to rede this book, thou schalt bynde to it a stoon, and thou schalt caste it forth in to the myddis of Eufrates; and thou schalt seie,
你念完了这书，就把一块石头拴在书上，扔在幼发拉底河中，
64 So Babiloyne schal be drenchid, and it schal not rise fro the face of turment, which Y brynge on it, and it schal be distried. Hidurto ben the wordis of Jeremye.
说：‘巴比伦因耶和华所要降与她的灾祸，必如此沉下去，不再兴起，人民也必困乏。’” 耶利米的话到此为止。
