Jeremiah 49

1 Concerning the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: “Has Israel no sons? Is he without heir? Why then has Milcom taken possession of Gad? Why have his people settled in their cities?

1 关于亚扪人，耶和华说： “难道以色列没有子孙？ 没有继承人吗？ 为什么祭拜米勒公的人占据了迦得，住在城邑中？”

2 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a heap of ruins, and its villages will be burned. Then Israel will drive out their dispossessors, says the LORD.

2 耶和华说：“看啊，时候将到， 我要使亚扪人的拉巴城外响起战争的呐喊。 拉巴必沦为废墟， 它周围的乡村都要被焚烧， 以色列人必从侵略者手中收复失地。 这是耶和华说的。

3 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed; cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; run back and forth within your walls, for Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials.

3 “希实本啊，哀哭吧！ 因为艾城毁灭了。 拉巴的居民啊，痛哭吧！ 披上麻衣悲伤地在城墙内跑来跑去吧！ 因为米勒公及其祭司和官长都要被掳走。

4 Why do you boast of your valleys—your valleys so fruitful, O faithless daughter? You trust in your riches and say, ‘Who can come against me?’

4 叛逆的人民啊， 你们为何夸耀自己肥沃的山谷？ 你们依仗财富以为无人敢来侵犯。”

5 Behold, I am about to bring terror upon you, declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, from all those around you. You will each be driven headlong, with no one to regather the fugitives.

5 上帝——万军之耶和华说： “看啊，我要使你们四面受敌， 惊恐万状，四散奔逃， 溃不成军。

6 Yet afterward I will restore the Ammonites from captivity,” declares the LORD.

6 然而，日后我要使被掳的亚扪人返乡。 这是耶和华说的。”

7 Concerning Edom, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?

7 关于以东，万军之耶和华说： “提幔再没有智慧了吗？ 谋士已无计可施了吗？ 他们都失去智慧了吗？

8 Turn and run! Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him.

8 底但的居民啊， 你们要转身逃命， 藏在深洞里， 因为我必在所定之时降灾祸惩罚以扫。

9 If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, would they not steal only what they wanted?

9 人们到你那里摘葡萄，难道不留下几串吗？ 盗贼夜间来偷东西，难道不只偷所需要的吗？

10 But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more.

10 但我要把以扫洗劫一空， 我要使他无处藏身，无法隐藏。 他及其孩子、弟兄和邻居必一同灭亡。

11 Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.”

11 撇下你的孤儿吧！ 我必使他们存活； 你的寡妇也可以倚靠我。”

12 For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too.

12 耶和华说：“看啊，那些本不该喝这杯愤怒的人尚且要喝，更何况你们呢？你必难逃惩罚，你一定要喝这杯愤怒。

13 For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.”

13 因为我已凭自己起誓，波斯拉必沦为废墟，令人惊骇，被人嘲笑和咒诅。它周围的城邑要永远荒凉。这是耶和华说的。”

14 I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent to the nations: “Assemble yourselves to march against her! Rise up for battle!”

14 我从耶和华那里听到消息， 有位使者被派去对列国说： “聚集起来攻打以东， 准备争战吧！”

15 “For behold, I will make you small among nations, despised among men.

15 耶和华说： “以东啊，我要使你在列国中最弱小， 被世人藐视。

16 The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, O occupiers of the mountain summit. Though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD.

16 你这栖身在岩穴中、盘踞在高山上的民族啊， 你令人惊惧、心高气傲， 其实只是自欺。 尽管你像老鹰在高处搭窝， 我也必把你拉下来。 这是耶和华说的。

17 “Edom will become an object of horror. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.

17 “以东的下场必令人惊骇，它的满目疮痍令所有路人惊骇和嗤笑。

18 As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.

18 那里要像所多玛、蛾摩拉及其周围的城邑一样被毁灭，人烟绝迹。这是耶和华说的。

19 Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Edom from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”

19 看啊，我必在瞬间把以东人赶离家园，如约旦河边丛林中跳出的狮子赶散草场的羊群。我要派我拣选的人统治这地方。谁能与我相比？谁能与我较量？哪位首领能抵挡我？”

20 Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Edom and the strategies He has devised against the people of Teman: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.

20 因此，你们要听听耶和华攻击以东的策略，听听祂攻击提幔居民的计划。他们的孩子要被拖走，他们的家园要被毁灭。

21 At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; their cry will resound to the Red Sea.

21 以东倾覆的声音震动大地，哭喊声直传到红海。

22 Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s mighty men will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

22 看啊，敌人必像展翅飞来的鹰一样冲下来攻击波斯拉。到那日，以东的勇士必像临盆的妇女一样胆战心惊。

23 Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report; they are agitated like the sea; their anxiety cannot be calmed.

23 关于大马士革，耶和华说： “哈马和亚珥拔惊恐不安， 因为他们听见了坏消息。 他们心惊胆战，像大海一样无法平静。

24 Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor.

24 大马士革丧失勇气，转身逃命。 她像分娩的妇人一样惊恐不安， 充满痛苦和忧愁。

25 How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy?

25 我所喜悦的名城为何还没有被撇弃？

26 For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

26 城中的青年将倒毙街头， 那时所有的战士都要灭亡。 这是万军之耶和华说的。

27 “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”

27 我要焚烧大马士革的城墙和便·哈达的宫殿。”

28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!

28 关于被巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒打败的基达及夏琐的各城邦，耶和华说： “迦勒底人啊，去攻打基达， 消灭那些东方人吧！

29 They will take their tents and flocks, their tent curtains and all their goods. They will take their camels for themselves. They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’

29 你们要抢走他们的帐篷、 幔子、器皿、羊群和骆驼。 人们必向他们呼喊， ‘恐怖弥漫四周！’

30 Run! Escape quickly! Lie low, O residents of Hazor,” declares the LORD, “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has drawn up a plan against you; he has devised a strategy against you.

30 夏琐的居民啊，快逃命吧！ 逃得远远的，藏起来， 因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒已计划攻击你们， 准备消灭你们。 这是耶和华说的。

31 Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, one that dwells securely,” declares the LORD. “They have no gates or bars; they live alone.

31 迦勒底人啊， 上去攻打那安逸无忧、无门无闩、独居一方的国家吧！ 这是耶和华说的。

32 Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoil. I will scatter to the wind in every direction those who shave their temples; I will bring calamity on them from all sides,” declares the LORD.

32 他们的骆驼必被掳去， 大群的牲畜必成为战利品。 我要把剃去鬓发的人驱散到四方， 使灾祸从四面八方临到他们。 这是耶和华说的。

33 “Hazor will become a haunt for jackals, a desolation forever. No one will dwell there; no man will abide there.”

33 夏琐要永远荒凉， 无人居住，杳无人迹， 成为豺狼出没的地方。”

34 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.

34 犹大王西底迦执政初期，耶和华告诉了耶利米先知有关以拦的事。

35 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.

35 万军之耶和华说：“看啊，我要摧毁以拦的弓箭手，那是他们的精锐之师。

36 I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go.

36 我要使敌人从四面八方如风而来，把以拦人驱散到四方，使他们流落到列国。

37 So I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring disaster upon them, even My fierce anger,” declares the LORD. “I will send out the sword after them until I finish them off.

37 我要使以拦人在想杀他们的仇敌面前惊恐万分，我要发烈怒降祸给他们，用刀剑追杀他们，直到彻底消灭他们。这是耶和华说的。

38 I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,” declares the LORD.

38 我要在以拦设立我的宝座，消灭那里的君王和官长。这是耶和华说的。

39 “Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,” declares the LORD.

39 但将来有一天，我要使被掳的以拦人返乡。这是耶和华说的。”
