Jeremiah 50
1 The word which Yahweh spake Against Babylon Against the land of the Chaldeans, through 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 Tell ye among the nations And let it be heard And lift ye up a standard, Let it be heard do not conceal: Say ye—Captured is Babylon, Confounded is Bel, Broken in pieces is Merodach, Confounded are her images, Broken down her manufactured gods;
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 there hath come up against her—a nation out of the North The same, shall make her land an astonishment, And there shall be none to dwell therein, —Both man and beast, have removed—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, Declareth Yahweh, Shall the sons of Israel come in, They and the sons of Judah together: Weeping as they travel, so shall they journey on, And Yahweh their God, shall 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, shall they ask the way, Hitherward, their faces, Come and let us join ourselves unto Yahweh, In a covenant age-abiding, which shall not be 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 Wandering sheep, have my people, been, Their own shepherds led them astray, On the mountains, they seduced them, From mountain to hill, have they gone, They have forgotten their couching-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 who found them, devoured them, And, their adversaries, said—We shall not be, guilty, —Because they have sinned, Against, Yahweh the pasturage of righteousness, Yea the hope of their fathers—Yahweh.
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 Remove ye out of the midst of Babylon, And out of the land of the Chaldeans, come ye forth, —And become ye like he-goats before the 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 rousing and bringing up against Babylon a gathered host of great nations, out of the land of the North, And they shall array themselves against her, From thence, shall she be captured, —His arrows, are as of a hero making childless, None shall return 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 So shall the Chaldeans become a spoil, —All her spoilers, shall be satisfied, Declareth Yahweh;
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 they used to be glad Because they used to be uproarious When plundering mine inheritance, —Because they used to caper about as a heifer at grass, And bellow like 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 Your mother, hath turned very pale, She that bare you, hath turned red, —Lo! the last of nations, is—A desert, A parched land, and A waste plain,
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 vexation of Yahweh, she shall not be inhabited, But Shall become a complete desolation, —Every one passing by Babylon, shall be astonished and hiss, over 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 who tread the bow, Shoot at her, do not spare so much as an arrow, —For against Yahweh, hath she 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 Raise a shout against her round about She hath stretched forth her hand, Fallen are her buttresses, Torn down are her walls, —Because, the avenging of Yahweh it is, Take ye vengeance upon her, As she hath done, do ye, unto 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 ye off the sower from Babylon, And him that graspeth the sickle in the time of harvest, From the face of the sword of the oppressor, Each, to his own people will they turn, and Each, to his own land will 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 sheep all alone, is Israel Lions, have driven him away, —At the first, the king of Assyria devoured him, And here, at the last, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones!
“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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing punishment against the king of Babylon, and against his land, —Just as I brought punishment against the king of Assyria.
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 So will I bring back Israel unto his own pasture, And he shall feed upon Carmel and Bashan; And in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead, shall, his soul, be 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 in that time, Declareth Yahweh, The iniquity of Israel, shall be sought, and there shall be none, And the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; For I will grant pardon to them whom I suffer to remain.
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 thou up against her, And against the inhabitants of Pekod, —Lay waste and devote to destruction after them Declareth Yahweh, And do according to all which 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 The sound of battle is in the earth, —And a great destruction.
境内有打仗和大毁灭的响声。
23 How is cut and broken the hammer of all the earth! How hath Babylon become an astonishment among the 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 laid a snare for thee yea and thou wast captured O Babylon, when, thou wast not aware, —Thou wast found out yea and taken, For with Yahweh, hadst thou contended.
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 Yahweh opened his armoury, and brought out his weapons of indignation, —For, a work, it is pertaining to My Lord, Yahweh 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 against her from farthest parts, Throw open her granaries, Cast her up as heaps, and devote her to destruction, —Do not let her have a 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 Cut up all her bullocks, Let them go down to the slaughter, —Alas for them! For their day, hath come, Their time for punishment.
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 The voice Of them who are in flight and Of such as are escaping, out of the land of Babylon, —To tell in Zion The avenging of Yahweh our God, The avenging 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 Publish against Babylon ye chiefs of all who tread the bow—Encamp against her round about Let there be none to escape, Recompense to her according to her work, According to all which she did, do ye to her, —For Against Yahweh, hath she acted presumptuously, Against 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, shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, be silenced in that day, Declareth Yahweh.
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 Behold me! against thee most insolent one, Declareth My Lord Yahweh of hosts; For thy day, hath come, Thy time for punishment;
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 So shall the most insolent one stumble and fall, And he shall have none to lift him up, —And I will kindle a fire in his cities which shall devour all who are 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, saith Yahweh of hosts—Oppressed were the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, together, —And, all who took them captive, Held them fast Refused to let them go: —
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, can hold fast, Yahweh of hosts, is his name, He will, thoroughly plead, their plea, —That he may quiet the earth, And disquiet 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 over the Chaldeans, Declareth Yahweh, —And against the inhabitants of Babylon, And against her princes, And against 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 against the praters, And they shall be shewn to be foolish, A sword, is against her heroes And they shall be dismayed:
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 against his horses and against his chariots and, against all the rabble that are in her midst And they shall become women, —A sword, is against her treasures And they shall be made a prey:
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 drought, is against her waters, And they shall be dried up, —For a land of images, it is, And with their shocking things, they act as men who are mad:
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 shall the criers dwell with, the howlers, Yea ostriches, shall dwell therein, —So shall it be dwelt in no more for ever, Neither shall it be inhabited unto generation after generation.
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 Like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Declareth Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.
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 coming in from the North, —Yea, a great nation and many kings, shall be roused up out of the remote parts 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 javelin, shall they grasp, Cruel, are they and will not have compassion, Their voice, like the sea, will roar, And, on horses, will they ride, —Set in array, as one 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 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, And unnerved are his hands, —Anguish, hath seized him, Writhing pain, as a woman in child-birth.
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, shall he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, Unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make them run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom against it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand 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 Yahweh, which he hath counselled against Babylon, And his devices which he hath devised against the land of the Chaldeans, —Surely the little ones of the flock, shall drag them away, Surely he will cause the pasture to be astounded over them.
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 At the noise of the taking of Babylon, the earth trembled, —And, the outcry, among the nations, was 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。”
