旧约--耶利米书(Jeremiah)--第 49 章

49:1 论亚扪人。耶和华如此说,以色列没有儿子吗。没有后嗣吗。玛勒堪为何得迦得之地为业呢。属他的民为何住其中的城邑呢。
Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
 
49:2 耶和华说,日子将到,我必使人听见打仗的喊声,是攻击亚扪人拉巴的喊声。拉巴要成为乱堆。属她的乡村(原文作女子)要被火焚烧。先前得以色列地为业的,此时以色列倒要得他们的地为业。这是耶和华说的。
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.
 
49:3 希实本哪,你要哀号,因为爱地变为荒场。拉巴的居民(原文作女子)哪,要呼喊,以麻布束腰。要哭号,在篱笆中跑来跑去。因玛勒堪和属他的祭司,首领要一同被掳去。
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
 
49:4 背道的民(原文作女子)哪,你们为何因有山谷,就是水流的山谷夸张呢。为何倚靠财宝说,谁能来到我们这里呢。
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
 
49:5 主万军之耶和华说,我要使恐吓从四围的人中临到你们。你们必被赶出,各人一直前往,没有人收聚逃民。
Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
 
49:6 后来我还要使被掳的亚扪人归回。这是耶和华说的。
And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
 
49:7 论以东。万军之耶和华如此说,毯螅中再没有智慧吗。明哲人不再有谋略吗。他们的智慧尽归无有吗。
Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
 
49:8 底但的居民哪,要转身逃跑,住在深密处。因为我向以扫追讨的时候,必使灾殃临到他。
Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.
 
49:9 摘葡萄的若来到他那里,岂不剩下些葡萄呢。盗贼若夜间而来,岂不毁坏直到够了呢。
If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
 
49:10 我却使以扫赤露,显出他的隐密处。他不能自藏。他的后裔,弟兄,邻舍尽都灭绝。他也归于无有。
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
 
49:11 你撇下孤儿,我必保全他们的命。你的寡妇可以倚靠我。
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
 
49:12 耶和华如此说,原不该喝那杯的一定要喝。你能尽免刑罚吗。你必不能免,一定要喝。
For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
 
49:13 耶和华说,我指着自己起誓,波斯拉必令人惊骇,羞辱,咒诅,并且荒凉。她的一切城邑必变为永远的荒场。
For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
 
49:14 我从耶和华那里听见信息,并有使者被差往列国去,说,你们聚集来攻击以东,要起来争战。
I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
 
49:15 我使你在列国中为最小,在世人中被藐视。
For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
 
49:16 住在山穴中据守山顶的阿,论到你的威吓,你因心中的狂傲自欺。你虽如大鹰高高搭窝,我却从那里拉下你来。这是耶和华说的。
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
 
49:17 以东必令人惊骇。凡经过的人就受惊骇,又因她一切的灾祸嗤笑。
Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
 
49:18 耶和华说,必无人住在那里,也无人在其中寄居,要像所多玛,蛾摩拉,和邻近的城邑倾覆的时候一样。
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
 
49:19 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,我要使以东人逃跑,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。有何牧人能在我们面前站立得住呢?
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
 
49:20 你们要听耶和华攻击以东所说的谋略和他攻击毯螅居民所定的旨意。仇敌定要将他们群众微弱的拉去,定要使他们的居所荒凉。
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
 
49:21 因他们仆倒的声音,地就震动。人在红海那里必听见呼喊的声音。
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
 
49:22 仇敌必如大鹰飞起,展开翅膀攻击波斯拉。到那日,以东的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。
Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
 
49:23 论大马士革。哈马和亚珥拔蒙羞,因他们听见凶恶的信息就消化了。海上有忧愁,不得平静。
Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
 
49:24 大马士革发软,转身逃跑。战兢将她捉住。痛苦忧愁将她抓住,如产难的妇人一样。
Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
 
49:25 我所喜乐可称赞的城,为何被撇弃了呢。
How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
 
49:26 她的少年人必仆倒在街上。当那日,一切兵丁必默默无声。这是万军之耶和华说的。
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
 
49:27 我必在大马士革城中使火着起,烧灭便哈达的宫殿。
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
 
49:28 论巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所攻打的基达和夏琐的诸国。耶和华如此说,迦勒底人哪,起来上基达去,毁灭东方人。
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
 
49:29 他们的帐棚和羊群都要夺去,将幔子和一切器皿,并骆驼为自己掠去。人向他们喊着说,四围都有惊吓。
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.
 
49:30 耶和华说,夏琐的居民哪,要逃奔远方,住在深密处。因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒设计谋害你们,起意攻击你们。
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
 
49:31 耶和华说,迦勒底人哪,起来。上安逸无虑的居民那里去。他们是无门无闩,独自居住的。
Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.
 
49:32 他们的骆驼必成为掠物。他们众多的牲畜必成为掳物。我必将剃周围头发的人分散四方(方原文作风),使灾殃从四围临到他们。这是耶和华说的。
And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.
 
49:33 夏琐必成为野狗的住处,永远凄凉。必无人住在那里,也无人在其中寄居。
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
 
49:34 犹大王西底家登基的时候,耶和华论以拦的话临到先知耶利米说,
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
 
49:35 万军之耶和华如此说,我必折断以拦人的弓,就是他们为首的权力。
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
 
49:36 我要使四风从天的四方刮来,临到以拦人,将他们分散四方(方原文作风)。这被赶散的人没有一国不到的。
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
 
49:37 耶和华说,我必使以拦人在仇敌和寻索其命的人面前惊惶。我也必使灾祸,就是我的烈怒临到他们,又必使刀剑追杀他们,直到将他们灭尽。
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
 
49:38 我要在以拦设立我的宝座,从那里除灭君王和首领。这是耶和华说的。
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.
 
49:39 到末后,我还要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。
But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
