耶利米书 48
1 论摩押。万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说： 尼波有祸了！因变为荒场。 基列亭蒙羞被攻取； 米斯迦蒙羞被毁坏；
This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
2 摩押不再被称赞。 有人在希实本设计谋害她，说： 来吧！我们将她剪除，不再成国。 玛得缅哪，你也必默默无声； 刀剑必追赶你。
No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
3 从何罗念有喊荒凉大毁灭的哀声：
Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
4 摩押毁灭了！ 她的孩童发哀声，使人听见。
[All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
5 人上鲁希坡随走随哭， 因为在何罗念的下坡听见毁灭的哀声。
They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
6 你们要奔逃，自救性命， 独自居住，好像旷野的杜松。
[Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
7 你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的财宝必被攻取。 基抹和属他的祭司、首领也要一同被掳去。
But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
8 行毁灭的必来到各城， 并无一城得免。 山谷必致败落， 平原必被毁坏； 正如耶和华所说的。
All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
9 要将翅膀给摩押， 使她可以飞去。 她的城邑必致荒凉， 无人居住。 （
Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
10 懒惰为耶和华行事的，必受咒诅；禁止刀剑不经血的，必受咒诅。）
Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
11 摩押自幼年以来常享安逸， 如酒在渣滓上澄清， 没有从这器皿倒在那器皿里， 也未曾被掳去。 因此，它的原味尚存， 香气未变。
[The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
12 耶和华说：“日子将到，我必打发倒酒的往她那里去，将她倒出来，倒空她的器皿，打碎她的坛子。
But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
13 摩押必因基抹羞愧，像以色列家从前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一样。
Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
14 你们怎么说： 我们是勇士，是有勇力打仗的呢？
[The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
15 摩押变为荒场， 敌人上去进了她的城邑。 她所特选的少年人下去遭了杀戮； 这是君王—名为万军之耶和华说的。
But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
16 摩押的灾殃临近； 她的苦难速速来到。
Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
17 凡在她四围的和认识她名的， 你们都要为她悲伤，说： 那结实的杖和那美好的棍， 何竟折断了呢？
You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
18 住在底本的民哪， 要从你荣耀的位上下来， 坐受干渴； 因毁灭摩押的上来攻击你， 毁坏了你的保障。
You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
19 住亚罗珥的啊， 要站在道旁观望， 问逃避的男人和逃脱的女人说： 是什么事呢？
You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
20 摩押因毁坏蒙羞； 你们要哀号呼喊， 要在亚嫩旁报告说： 摩押变为荒场！
[They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
21 “刑罚临到平原之地的何伦、雅杂、米法押、
[Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
22 底本、尼波、伯·低比拉太音、
Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
23 基列亭、伯·迦末、伯·米恩、
Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
24 加略、波斯拉，和摩押地远近所有的城邑。
Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
25 摩押的角砍断了，摩押的膀臂折断了。这是耶和华说的。”
Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
26 “你们要使摩押沉醉，因她向耶和华夸大。她要在自己所吐之中打滚，又要被人嗤笑。
[You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
27 摩押啊，你不曾嗤笑以色列吗？她岂是在贼中查出来的呢？你每逢提到她便摇头。
You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
28 摩押的居民哪， 要离开城邑，住在山崖里， 像鸽子在深渊口上搭窝。
You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
29 我们听说摩押人骄傲， 是极其骄傲； 听说他自高自傲， 并且狂妄，居心自大。
We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
30 耶和华说： 我知道他的忿怒是虚空的； 他夸大的话一无所成。
But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
31 因此，我要为摩押哀号， 为摩押全地呼喊； 人必为吉珥·哈列设人叹息。
So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
32 西比玛的葡萄树啊，我为你哀哭， 甚于雅谢人哀哭。 你的枝子蔓延过海， 直长到雅谢海。 那行毁灭的已经临到你夏天的果子 和你所摘的葡萄。
You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
33 肥田和摩押地的欢喜快乐都被夺去； 我使酒榨的酒绝流， 无人踹酒欢呼； 那欢呼却变为仇敌的呐喊。
But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
34 “希实本人发的哀声达到以利亚利，直达到雅杂；从琐珥达到何罗念，直到伊基拉·施利施亚，因为宁林的水必然干涸。”
Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
35 耶和华说：“我必在摩押地使那在邱坛献祭的，和那向他的神烧香的都断绝了。
[I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
36 我心腹为摩押哀鸣如箫，我心肠为吉珥·哈列设人也是如此，因摩押人所得的财物都灭没了。
I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
37 “各人头上光秃，胡须剪短，手有划伤，腰束麻布。
The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
38 在摩押的各房顶上和街市上处处有人哀哭；因我打碎摩押，好像打碎无人喜悦的器皿。这是耶和华说的。
In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
39 摩押何等毁坏！何等哀号！何等羞愧转背！这样，摩押必令四围的人嗤笑惊骇。”
Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
40 耶和华如此说： 仇敌必如大鹰飞起， 展开翅膀，攻击摩押。
This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
41 加略被攻取，保障也被占据。 到那日，摩押的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。
Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
42 摩押必被毁灭，不再成国， 因她向耶和华夸大。
[The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
43 耶和华说：摩押的居民哪， 恐惧、陷坑、网罗都临近你。
[I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
44 躲避恐惧的必坠入陷坑； 从陷坑上来的必被网罗缠住； 因我必使追讨之年临到摩押。 这是耶和华说的。
Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
45 躲避的人无力站在希实本的影下； 因为有火从希实本发出， 有火焰出于西宏的城， 烧尽摩押的角和哄嚷人的头顶。
The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
46 摩押啊，你有祸了！ 属基抹的民灭亡了！ 因你的众子都被掳去， 你的众女也被掳去。
[You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
47 耶和华说： 到末后，我还要使被掳的摩押人归回。 摩押受审判的话到此为止。
But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
