耶利米书 48
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
關於摩押的預言
48 論到摩押,
萬軍之耶和華以色列的 神這樣說:
“尼波有禍了!因為它變為荒涼;
基列亭蒙受羞辱,被佔領了;
這城堡(“這城堡”或譯:“米斯迦”)蒙受羞辱,被毀壞。
2 摩押不再被人稱讚;
敵人在希實本計謀害它,說:
‘來吧!我們要把它剪除,
使它不再成國!’
瑪得緬哪!你也要靜默無聲;
刀劍必追趕你。
3 從何羅念傳出哀號的聲音,說:
‘荒涼了,大大毀滅了!’
4 摩押毀滅了,
它的孩童發出哀叫(“它的孩童發出哀叫”或參照《七十士譯本》譯作“哀叫之聲直達瑣珥”)。
5 在上魯希的路上,
摩押人隨走隨哭;
從何羅念下來的途中,
聽見他們因城被毀發出悽慘的哀號聲。”
6 你們要逃跑,趕快逃命吧!
你們好像曠野的灌木。
7 你因為倚靠你的成就和財富,
就必被攻取;
基抹必被擄去,
事奉它的祭司和領袖都必一同被擄去。
8 行毀滅的必來攻擊一切城鎮,
沒有一座城可以倖免;
山谷必被蹂躪,
平原必受破壞,
正如耶和華所說的。
9 你們要在摩押上面撒鹽,
因為它必成為廢墟(“你們要在摩押上面撒鹽,因為它必成為廢墟”或譯:“你們要把翅膀給摩押,因為它必飛去”);
它的城鎮必成為荒涼,
沒有人在裡面居住。
10 不努力去作耶和華的工作的,該受咒詛;
不使自己的刀劍見血的,應受咒詛。
11 摩押自年幼以來常享安逸,
像不受攪擾的酒在缸裡澄清,
從沒有倒進另一個缸裡去,
它也從沒有被人擄去。
因此它仍保留著原味,
它的芬芳沒有改變失去。
12 “看哪!日子快到(這是耶和華的宣告),我必差派倒酒的人到它那裡去,把它倒出來,直至倒空,又把酒缸打碎。 13 摩押必因基抹羞愧,好像以色列家因他們可倚靠的伯特利的神像羞愧一樣。
14 你們怎麼說:‘我們是勇士,
是善戰的武士’?
15 摩押被毀滅;敵人上來攻擊它的城鎮;
摩押最精銳的少年下去被屠殺。”
這是君王的宣告,他的名是萬軍之耶和華。
16 “摩押的災難已經臨近了,
它的禍患迅速來到。
17 所有在它四圍的,
所有認識它名的,
你們都要為它哀悼,說:
‘那有能力的權杖、
華美的杖竟然折斷了!’
18 住在底本的人民哪!
要從你們榮耀的位上下來,
坐在乾旱的地上(“乾旱的地上”原文作“乾渴”),
因為毀滅摩押的要上來攻擊你們,
摧毀你們的堅固城。
19 亞羅珥的居民哪!
要站在路旁觀望,
詢問那些正在逃跑的男女,說:
‘發生了甚麼事?’
20 摩押蒙受羞辱,因為它已被毀滅了。
你們要哀號喊叫,
要在亞嫩河宣告:
‘摩押毀滅了。’
21 審判臨到了平原之地,就是何倫、雅雜、米法押、 22 底本、尼波、伯.低比拉太音、 23 基列亭、伯.迦末、伯.米恩、 24 加略、波斯拉和摩押地遠近所有城市。 25 摩押的角被砍下,它的膀臂被折斷了。”這是耶和華的宣告。
26 你們要使摩押沉醉,因為它向耶和華妄自尊大;摩押必跌在自己所吐之物上面,也必成為被人譏笑的對象。 27 摩押啊,以色列不是曾經成為你譏笑的對象嗎?它豈是被捕獲的強盜,以致你每逢提到它,總是搖頭嘲笑。
28 摩押的居民哪!
你們要離棄城鎮,住在山巖裡,
像鴿子在峽谷的邊上築巢。
29 我們聽說摩押的驕傲,
它非常驕傲;
我們聽到它的狂妄、驕傲、傲慢和心裡的自高。
30 “我洞悉它的狂傲
(這是耶和華的宣告),
它的狂傲毫無根據,
它的誇耀不能成事。
31 因此我要為摩押哀號,
為全摩押喊叫,
為吉珥.哈列設人(“為吉珥.哈列設人”有古抄本作“他為吉珥.哈列設人”)唉哼。
32 西比瑪的葡萄樹啊!
我要你哀哭比人為雅謝哀哭更厲害。
你的枝子伸展過海,
延伸到雅謝(“雅謝”有古抄本作“雅謝海”);
那行毀滅的要來摧毀你夏天的果子和你的葡萄。
33 摩押肥沃的土地上不再有歡喜和快樂;
我使榨酒池不再流出酒;
再沒有人歡呼踹酒;
有人呼喊,卻不是踹酒的歡呼聲。
34 “希實本的哀叫傳到以利亞利,他們發出的聲音傳到雅雜,從瑣珥達到何羅念和伊基拉.施利施亞;因為連寧林的河水也都乾涸了。 35 我要滅絕在摩押那些邱壇上獻祭和向他們的神燒香的。”這是耶和華的宣告。
36 “因此,我的心為摩押嗚咽,好像人用笛吹輓歌;我的心為吉珥.哈列設人嗚咽,好像人用笛吹輓歌;因為他們所得的財寶都失掉了。 37 他們各人的頭都剃光了,鬍鬚也剃掉了,他們割傷了自己的手,腰束麻布。 38 摩押境內一切房頂上和廣場上,處處都有哀哭的聲音;因為我擊碎了摩押,好像打碎沒有人要的器皿。”這是耶和華的宣告。 39 摩押的毀滅多麼厲害,他們的哀號多麼悽慘!摩押怎樣蒙羞轉背!這樣摩押就成了它四圍眾人譏笑和驚駭的對象。”
40 因為耶和華這樣說:
“看哪!必有一人像大鷹疾飛,
展開翅膀攻擊摩押。
41 城市被攻取,
堅壘被佔領;
在那日,摩押勇士的心必驚慌,
像臨產婦人的心一樣。
42 摩押必被摧毀,不再成為一個民族,
因為它向耶和華妄自尊大。
43 摩押的居民哪!
恐懼、陷阱、圈套都落在你們身上了。”
這是耶和華的宣告。
44 “那逃避恐懼的,必跌進陷阱;
那從陷阱中出來的,必被圈套困著。
因為我必使摩押受懲罰的年日臨到它。”
這是耶和華的宣告。
45 “在希實本的隱蔽處,
難民精疲力盡地站著;
因為有火從希實本發出,
有火燄從西宏的宮中冒出來,
吞滅了摩押的前額,
和吵鬧的人的頭頂。
46 摩押啊,你有禍了!
基抹的人民滅亡了!
因為你的眾子都被擄去了,
你的眾女兒也都被擄去了。
47 但日後,我必使被擄的摩押人歸回。”
這是耶和華的宣告。
有關摩押的宣判到這裡為止。

关于摩押的预言
48 论到摩押,以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说:
“尼波大祸临头了!
它必被毁灭;
基列亭必蒙羞沦陷,
堡垒必蒙羞被毁。
2 摩押不再受称赞,
敌人在希实本图谋害她,说,
‘来吧!我们铲除这个国家。’
玛得缅啊,你也将被敌人追杀,
变得死寂无声。
3 “从何罗念传来呼喊声,
‘荒凉了!毁灭了!’
4 摩押灭亡了,
她的孩童放声哀哭。
5 摩押人痛哭着走上鲁希坡,
他们在何罗念的山坡下听见悲惨的哀号。
6 逃命吧!藏到旷野去吧!
7 摩押啊,你要被攻占,
因为你倚仗自己的成就和财富。
你的神明基抹及供奉它的祭司和官长都要被掳去。
8 所有的城邑必被毁灭,
无一幸免;
山谷遭践踏,
平原被蹂躏。
这是耶和华说的。
9 “给摩押翅膀让她飞走吧[a],
因为她的城邑将沦为废墟,
杳无人迹。
10 不殷勤地为耶和华做工,
不挥刀斩杀摩押人的必受咒诅。
11 “摩押自幼常享安逸,
从未被掳到别处,
好像沉淀的酒没有被从这缸倒到那缸,
味道依旧,香气未变。
12 “不过,看啊,时候将到,我要派倒酒的人去把她倒出来,倒空酒缸,把缸打碎。这是耶和华说的。 13 摩押人必因他们的神明基抹而羞愧,就像以色列人因信靠伯特利的神像而羞愧一样。
14 “摩押人啊,
你们怎能自称为骁勇善战的英雄呢?
15 摩押要灭亡了,
她的城邑要被摧毁,
她最勇敢的青年将被杀戮。
这是名叫万军之耶和华的君王说的。
16 摩押快要被毁灭了,
灾难就要来临。
17 她的近邻和知道她名望的人啊,
你们都要为她哀悼,
‘那强大、辉煌的权势竟然崩溃了!’
18 “底本的居民啊,
你们要从荣耀的位子上下来,
坐在干旱的地上,
因为毁灭摩押的要来攻击你们,
摧毁你们的堡垒。
19 亚罗珥的居民啊!
你们要站在路旁观望,
询问逃难的男女究竟发生了什么事。
20 你们会得知摩押沦陷了,
她羞愧难当。
你们哀伤痛哭吧!
你们要在亚嫩河边宣告,
‘摩押灭亡了!’
21 “审判降临在平原上的何伦、雅杂、米法押、 22 底本、尼波、伯·低比拉太音、 23 基列亭、伯·迦末、伯·米恩、 24 加略、波斯拉等摩押各地的城邑。 25 摩押的权势被粉碎了,她的力量被摧毁了。这是耶和华说的。
26 “你们要灌醉她,因为她藐视耶和华。她必在自己的呕吐物中打滚,被人耻笑。 27 摩押啊,你不是曾经嘲笑以色列吗?以色列难道是强盗吗?你每次谈到她总是不屑地摇头。
28 “摩押人啊,
你们要离开城邑,住到岩洞里,
像鸽子在岩缝里筑巢一样。
29 我们听说摩押人傲气冲天,
他们狂妄自大、心中高傲。
30 我知道狂傲的摩押不过是外强中干,
她的夸耀不过是虚张声势。
这是耶和华说的。
31 因此,我要为她哀号,
为摩押人痛哭,
为吉珥·哈列设人悲伤。
32 西比玛的葡萄树啊,
我为你们比为雅谢人哭得更悲痛!
你们的枝条虽然延伸到大海,
一直到雅谢,
但毁灭者已在蹂躏你们夏日的果子了!
33 摩押的沃土上再没有欢喜快乐的声音。
我使榨酒池不出酒,
再没有踩踏葡萄的欢呼声,
欢呼被呐喊取代。
34 “哀哭声从希实本传到以利亚利和雅杂,又从琐珥传到何罗念和伊基拉·施利施亚,因为连宁林的水也干涸了。” 35 耶和华说:“我要灭绝摩押那些在丘坛献祭和向假神烧香的人。 36 我的心为摩押悲鸣,好像凄凉的箫声;我的心为吉珥·哈列设人悲鸣,他们的一切财富都消失了。 37 他们都悲哀地剃去发须,割伤双手,腰束麻布。 38 在摩押境内的屋顶和街头巷尾,哀声处处可闻,因为我已把摩押打得粉碎,好像打碎没人要的器皿。这是耶和华说的。 39 摩押破碎不堪!她嚎啕痛哭,羞愧难当,令四围的人嗤笑、惊惧。”
40 耶和华说:
“看啊,敌人必像展翅疾飞的大鹰一样来攻击摩押。
41 他们要攻取城池,占领堡垒。
那时,摩押的勇士像临盆的妇人一样心惊胆战。
42 摩押必被摧毁,彻底灭亡,
因为她藐视耶和华。
43 摩押人啊!
你们要充满恐惧,
陷入深坑和网罗。
这是耶和华说的。
44 逃过惊恐的必落入深坑,
爬出深坑的必陷入网罗,
因为我惩罚摩押的时候到了。
这是耶和华说的。
45 “逃难的人来到希实本,
无助地站着,
因为希实本烈焰熊熊,
西宏的城火光冲天,
烧毁了摩押和其中的叛逆之人。
46 拜基抹神明的摩押人啊,
你们有祸了!
你们灭亡了!
你们的儿女都被掳去了。
47 但将来,我要使你们重整家园。
这是耶和华说的。”
对摩押的审判到此为止。

Jeremiah 48
New King James Version
Judgment on Moab
48 Against (A)Moab.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
“Woe to (B)Nebo!
For it is plundered,
(C)Kirjathaim is shamed and taken;
[a]The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed—
2 (D)No more praise of Moab.
In (E)Heshbon they have devised evil against her:
‘Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.’
You also shall be cut down, O (F)Madmen![b]
The sword shall pursue you;
3 A voice of crying shall be from (G)Horonaim:
‘Plundering and great destruction!’
4 “Moab is destroyed;
[c]Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;
5 (H)For in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping;
For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 “Flee, save your lives!
And be like [d]the (I)juniper in the wilderness.
7 For because you have trusted in your works and your (J)treasures,
You also shall be taken.
And (K)Chemosh shall go forth into captivity,
His (L)priests and his princes together.
8 And (M)the plunderer shall come against every city;
No one shall escape.
The valley also shall perish,
And the plain shall be destroyed,
As the Lord has spoken.
9 “Give(N) wings to Moab,
That she may flee and get away;
For her cities shall be desolate,
Without any to dwell in them.
10 (O)Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,
And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 “Moab has been at ease from [e]his youth;
He (P)has settled on his dregs,
And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
Nor has he gone into captivity.
Therefore his taste remained in him,
And his scent has not changed.
12 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I shall send him [f]wine-workers
Who will tip him over
And empty his vessels
And break the bottles.
13 Moab shall be ashamed of (Q)Chemosh,
As the house of Israel (R)was ashamed of (S)Bethel, their confidence.
14 “How can you say, (T)‘We are mighty
And strong men for the war’?
15 Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities;
Her chosen young men have (U)gone down to the slaughter,” says (V)the King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 “The calamity of Moab is near at hand,
And his affliction comes quickly.
17 Bemoan him, all you who are around him;
And all you who know his name,
Say, (W)‘How the strong staff is broken,
The beautiful rod!’
18 “O (X)daughter inhabiting (Y)Dibon,
Come down from your glory,
And sit in thirst;
For the plunderer of Moab has come against you,
He has destroyed your strongholds.
19 O inhabitant of (Z)Aroer,
(AA)Stand by the way and watch;
Ask him who flees
And her who escapes;
Say, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab is shamed, for he is broken down.
(AB)Wail and cry!
Tell it in (AC)Arnon, that Moab is plundered.
21 “And judgment has come on the plain country:
On Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,
22 On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,
23 On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,
24 On (AD)Kerioth and Bozrah,
On all the cities of the land of Moab,
Far or near.
25 (AE)The [g]horn of Moab is cut off,
And his (AF)arm is broken,” says the Lord.
26 “Make(AG) him drunk,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
And he shall also be in derision.
27 For (AH)was not Israel a derision to you?
(AI)Was he found among thieves?
For whenever you speak of him,
You shake your head in (AJ)scorn.
28 You who dwell in Moab,
Leave the cities and (AK)dwell in the rock,
And be like (AL)the dove which makes her nest
In the sides of the cave’s mouth.
29 “We have heard the (AM)pride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and (AN)pride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”
30 “I know his wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is not right;
(AO)His [h]lies have made nothing right.
31 Therefore (AP)I will wail for Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab;
[i]I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 (AQ)O vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of (AR)Jazer.
Your plants have gone over the sea,
They reach to the sea of Jazer.
The plunderer has fallen on your summer fruit and your vintage.
33 (AS)Joy and gladness are taken
From the plentiful field
And from the land of Moab;
I have caused wine to [j]fail from the winepresses;
No one will tread with joyous shouting—
Not joyous shouting!
34 “From(AT) the cry of Heshbon to (AU)Elealeh and to Jahaz
They have uttered their voice,
(AV)From Zoar to Horonaim,
Like [k]a three-year-old heifer;
For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.
35 “Moreover,” says the Lord,
“I will cause to cease in Moab
(AW)The one who offers sacrifices in the [l]high places
And burns incense to his gods.
36 Therefore (AX)My heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore (AY)the riches they have acquired have perished.
37 “For (AZ)every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;
On all the hands shall be cuts, and (BA)on the loins sackcloth—
38 A general lamentation
On all the (BB)housetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
For I have (BC)broken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord.
39 “They shall wail:
‘How she is broken down!
How Moab has turned her back with shame!’
So Moab shall be a derision
And a dismay to all those about her.”
40 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, (BD)one shall fly like an eagle,
And (BE)spread his wings over Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken,
And the strongholds are surprised;
(BF)The mighty men’s hearts in Moab on that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed (BG)as a people,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
43 (BH)Fear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.
44 “He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit,
And he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the (BI)snare.
For upon Moab, upon it (BJ)I will bring
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
45 “Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
Because of exhaustion.
But (BK)a fire shall come out of Heshbon,
A flame from the midst of (BL)Sihon,
And (BM)shall devour the brow of Moab,
The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
46 (BN)Woe to you, O Moab!
The people of Chemosh perish;
For your sons have been taken captive,
And your daughters captive.
47 “Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab
(BO)In the latter days,” says the Lord.
Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
