Jeremiah 50
1 The word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet:
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 'Declare ye among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say ye: Captured hath been Babylon, Put to shame hath been Bel, Broken hath been Merodach, Put to shame have been her grievous things, Broken have been her idols.
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 come up against her hath a nation from the north, It maketh her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even unto beast, They have moved, they have gone.
“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 those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah, Come in do sons of Israel, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And Jehovah their God they seek.
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 [To] Zion they ask the way, Thitherward [are] their faces: Come in, and we are joined unto Jehovah, A covenant age-during — not forgotten.
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 A perishing flock hath My people been, Their shepherds have caused them to err, [To] the mountains causing them to go back, From mountain unto hill they have gone, They have forgotten their crouching-place.
“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 All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against Jehovah, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers — Jehovah.
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 Move ye from the midst of Babylon, And from the land of the Chaldeans go out. And be as he-goats before a flock.
“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, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from a land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From thence she is captured, Its arrow — as a skilful hero — returneth not empty,
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 Chaldea hath been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 Because thou rejoicest, because thou exultest, O spoilers of Mine inheritance, Because thou increasest as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And dost cry aloud as bulls,
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 Ashamed hath been your mother greatly, Confounded hath she been that bare you, Lo, the hindermost of nations [is] a wilderness, A dry land, and a desert.
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 Because of the wrath of Jehovah it is not inhabited, And it hath been a desolation — all of it. Every passer by at Babylon is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
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 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, All ye treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For against Jehovah she hath sinned.
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 Shout against her round about, She hath given forth her hand, Fallen have her foundations, Thrown down have been her walls, For it [is] the vengeance of Jehovah, Be avenged of her, as she did — do ye to her.
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 Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each unto his people — they turn, And each to his land — they flee.
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 A scattered sheep is Israel, lions have driven away, At first, devour him did the king of Asshur, And now, at last, broken his bone Hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
“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 Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after the king of Asshur;
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 I have brought back Israel unto his habitation, And he hath fed on Carmel, and on Bashan. And in mount Ephraim, and on Gilead is his soul satisfied.
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 those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah, Sought is the iniquity of Israel, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
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 Against the land of Merathaim: Go up against it, and unto the inhabitants of Pekod, Waste and devote their posterity, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do according to all that I have commanded 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 A noise of battle [is] in the land, and of great destruction.
境内有打仗和大毁灭的响声。
23 How hath it been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How hath Babylon been for a desolation among nations!
全地的大锤何竟砍断破坏？ 巴比伦在列国中何竟荒凉？
24 I have laid a snare for thee, And also — thou art captured, O Babylon, And thou — thou hast known, Thou hast been found, and also art caught, For against Jehovah thou hast stirred thyself up.
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 Jehovah hath opened His treasury, And He bringeth out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans.
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 in to her from the extremity, Open ye her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
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 Slay all her kine, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for come hath their day, The time of their inspection.
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 A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, The vengeance 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 Summon unto Babylon archers, all treading the bow, Encamp against her round about, Let [her] have no escape; Recompense to her according to her work, According to all that she did — do to her, For unto Jehovah she hath been proud, Unto the Holy One 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 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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, I [am] against thee, O pride, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, For thy day hath come, the time of thy inspection.
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 stumbled hath pride, And he hath fallen, and hath no raiser up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it hath devoured all round about him.
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 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Oppressed are the sons of Israel, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
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 Their Redeemer [is] strong, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, He doth thoroughly plead their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He hath given trouble to the inhabitants of Babylon.
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 sword [is] for the Chaldeans, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on her wise men;
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 sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;
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 A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;
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 A sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of graven images, And in idols they do boast themselves.
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 Therefore dwell do Ziim with Iim, Yea, dwelt in her have daughters of the ostrich, And it is not inhabited any more for ever, Nor dwelt in unto all generations.
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 overthrown by God with Sodom, And with Gomorrah, and with its neighbours, An affirmation of Jehovah, none doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.
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 people hath come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides of the earth.
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 Bow and halbert they seize, Cruel [are] they, and they have no mercy, Their voice as a sea soundeth, and on horses they ride, Set in array as a man for battle, Against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
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 Heard hath the king of Babylon their report, And feeble have been his hands, Distress hath seized him; pain as a travailing woman.
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 lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? on her I lay a charge, For who [is] like Me? And who doth convene Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?
“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 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He counselled concerning Babylon, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Doth He not make desolate over them the habitation?
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 From the voice: Captured was Babylon, Hath the earth been shaken, And a cry among nations hath been heard!
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。”
