Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath been broken down.
論摩押。萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說： 尼波有禍了！因變為荒場。 基列亭蒙羞被攻取； 米斯迦蒙羞被毀壞；
2 There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.
摩押不再被稱讚。 有人在希實本設計謀害她，說： 來吧！我們將她剪除，不再成國。 瑪得緬哪，你也必默默無聲； 刀劍必追趕你。
3 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
從何羅念有喊荒涼大毀滅的哀聲：
4 Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.
摩押毀滅了！ 她的孩童發哀聲，使人聽見。
5 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.
人上魯希坡隨走隨哭， 因為在何羅念的下坡聽見毀滅的哀聲。
6 Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
你們要奔逃，自救性命， 獨自居住，好像曠野的杜松。
7 For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的財寶必被攻取。 基抹和屬他的祭司、首領也要一同被擄去。
8 And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.
行毀滅的必來到各城， 並無一城得免。 山谷必致敗落， 平原必被毀壞； 正如耶和華所說的。
9 Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
要將翅膀給摩押， 使她可以飛去。 她的城邑必致荒涼， 無人居住。 （
10 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
懶惰為耶和華行事的，必受咒詛；禁止刀劍不經血的，必受咒詛。）
11 Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath not been changed.
摩押自幼年以來常享安逸， 如酒在渣滓上澄清， 沒有從這器皿倒在那器皿裏， 也未曾被擄去。 因此，它的原味尚存， 香氣未變。
12 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they dash in pieces.
耶和華說：「日子將到，我必打發倒酒的往她那裏去，將她倒出來，倒空她的器皿，打碎她的罈子。
13 And ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have been ashamed Because of Beth-El their confidence.
摩押必因基抹羞愧，像以色列家從前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一樣。
14 How do ye say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
你們怎麼說： 我們是勇士，是有勇力打仗的呢？
15 Spoiled is Moab, and her cities hath one gone up, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
摩押變為荒場， 敵人上去進了她的城邑。 她所特選的少年人下去遭了殺戮； 這是君王－名為萬軍之耶和華說的。
16 Near is the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction hath hasted exceedingly.
摩押的災殃臨近； 她的苦難速速來到。
17 Bemoan for him, all ye round about him, And all knowing his name, say ye: How hath it been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty.
凡在她四圍的和認識她名的， 你們都要為她悲傷，說： 那結實的杖和那美好的棍， 何竟折斷了呢？
18 Come down from honour, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab hath come up to thee, He hath destroyed thy fenced places.
住在底本的民哪， 要從你榮耀的位上下來， 坐受乾渴； 因毀滅摩押的上來攻擊你， 毀壞了你的保障。
19 On the way stand, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What hath happened?
住亞羅珥的啊， 要站在道旁觀望， 問逃避的男人和逃脫的女人說： 是甚麼事呢？
20 Put to shame hath been Moab, For it hath been broken down, Howl and cry, declare ye in Arnon, For spoiled is Moab,
摩押因毀壞蒙羞； 你們要哀號呼喊， 要在亞嫩旁報告說： 摩押變為荒場！
21 And judgment hath come in unto the land of the plain — unto Holon, And unto Jahazah, and on Mephaath,
「刑罰臨到平原之地的何倫、雅雜、米法押、
22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,
底本、尼波、伯‧低比拉太音、
23 And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,
基列亭、伯‧迦末、伯‧米恩、
24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.
加略、波斯拉，和摩押地遠近所有的城邑。
25 Cut down hath been the horn of Moab, And his arm hath been broken, An affirmation of Jehovah.
摩押的角砍斷了，摩押的膀臂折斷了。這是耶和華說的。」
26 Declare ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath been for a derision — even he.
「你們要使摩押沉醉，因她向耶和華誇大。她要在自己所吐之中打滾，又要被人嗤笑。
27 And was not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan thyself.
摩押啊，你不曾嗤笑以色列嗎？她豈是在賊中查出來的呢？你每逢提到她便搖頭。
28 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, Ye inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit's mouth.
摩押的居民哪， 要離開城邑，住在山崖裏， 像鴿子在深淵口上搭窩。
29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceeding proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,
我們聽說摩押人驕傲， 是極其驕傲； 聽說他自高自傲， 並且狂妄，居心自大。
30 I — I have known, an affirmation of Jehovah, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His devices — not right they have done.
耶和華說： 我知道他的忿怒是虛空的； 他誇大的話一無所成。
31 Therefore for Moab I howl, even for Moab — all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it doth mourn,
因此，我要為摩押哀號， 為摩押全地呼喊； 人必為吉珥‧哈列設人歎息。
32 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest, A spoiler hath fallen.
西比瑪的葡萄樹啊，我為你哀哭， 甚於雅謝人哀哭。 你的枝子蔓延過海， 直長到雅謝海。 那行毀滅的已經臨到你夏天的果子 和你所摘的葡萄。
33 And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no shouting!
肥田和摩押地的歡喜快樂都被奪去； 我使酒醡的酒絕流， 無人踹酒歡呼； 那歡呼卻變為仇敵的吶喊。
34 Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become desolations.
「希實本人發的哀聲達到以利亞利，直達到雅雜；從瑣珥達到何羅念，直到伊基拉‧施利施亞，因為寧林的水必然乾涸。」
35 And I have caused to cease to Moab, An affirmation of Jehovah, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making perfume to his god.
耶和華說：「我必在摩押地使那在邱壇獻祭的，和那向他的神燒香的都斷絕了。
36 Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.
我心腹為摩押哀鳴如簫，我心腸為吉珥‧哈列設人也是如此，因摩押人所得的財物都滅沒了。
37 For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins — sackcloth.
「各人頭上光禿，鬍鬚剪短，手有劃傷，腰束麻布。
38 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it — [is] lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure, An affirmation of Jehovah.
在摩押的各房頂上和街市上處處有人哀哭；因我打碎摩押，好像打碎無人喜悅的器皿。這是耶和華說的。
39 How hath it been broken down! they have howled, How hath Moab turned the neck ashamed, And Moab hath been for a derision. And for a terror to all round about her.
摩押何等毀壞！何等哀號！何等羞愧轉背！這樣，摩押必令四圍的人嗤笑驚駭。」
40 For thus said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto Moab.
耶和華如此說： 仇敵必如大鷹飛起， 展開翅膀，攻擊摩押。
41 Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
加略被攻取，保障也被佔據。 到那日，摩押的勇士心中疼痛如臨產的婦人。
42 And Moab hath been destroyed from [being] a people, For against Jehovah he exerted himself.
摩押必被毀滅，不再成國， 因她向耶和華誇大。
43 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [are] for thee, O inhabitant of Moab — an affirmation of Jehovah,
耶和華說：摩押的居民哪， 恐懼、陷坑、網羅都臨近你。
44 Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her — unto Moab — The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
躲避恐懼的必墜入陷坑； 從陷坑上來的必被網羅纏住； 因我必使追討之年臨到摩押。 這是耶和華說的。
45 In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
躲避的人無力站在希實本的影下； 因為有火從希實本發出， 有火焰出於西宏的城， 燒盡摩押的角和鬨嚷人的頭頂。
46 Woe to thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh, For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy daughters with the captivity.
摩押啊，你有禍了！ 屬基抹的民滅亡了！ 因你的眾子都被擄去， 你的眾女也被擄去。
47 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days, An affirmation of Jehovah! Hitherto [is] the judgment of Moab.
耶和華說： 到末後，我還要使被擄的摩押人歸回。 摩押受審判的話到此為止。
