耶利米书 48
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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
King James Version
48 Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
2 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath spoken.
9 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!
18 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
23 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
24 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.
26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord.
39 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the Lord.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Jeremiah 48
English Standard Version
Judgment on Moab
48 (A)Concerning Moab.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
“Woe to (B)Nebo, for it is laid waste!
(C)Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken;
the fortress is put to shame (D)and broken down;
2 the renown of Moab is no more.
In (E)Heshbon they planned disaster against her:
‘Come, let us cut her off (F)from being a nation!’
You also, O (G)Madmen, shall be brought to silence;
the sword shall pursue you.
3 “A voice! A cry from (H)Horonaim,
‘Desolation and great destruction!’
4 Moab is destroyed;
her little ones have made a cry.
5 (I)For at the ascent of Luhith
they go up weeping;[a]
for (J)at the descent of Horonaim
they have heard the distressed cry[b] of destruction.
6 Flee! Save yourselves!
You will be like (K)a juniper in the desert!
7 For, (L)because you trusted in your works and your treasures,
you also shall be taken;
and (M)Chemosh (N)shall go into exile
with (O)his priests and his officials.
8 (P)The destroyer shall come upon every city,
and no city shall escape;
the valley shall perish,
and (Q)the plain shall be destroyed,
as the Lord has spoken.
9 “Give wings to Moab,
for she would fly away;
her cities shall become a desolation,
with no inhabitant in them.
10 (R)“Cursed is he who does (S)the work of the Lord with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.
11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth
and has (T)settled on his dregs;
he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
nor has he gone into exile;
so his taste remains in him,
and his scent is not changed.
12 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I shall send to him pourers who will pour him, and empty his vessels and break his[c] jars in pieces. 13 Then (U)Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as (V)the house of Israel was ashamed of (W)Bethel, their confidence.
14 “How do you say, ‘We are heroes
and mighty men of war’?
15 The destroyer of (X)Moab and his cities has come up,
and the choicest of his young men have (Y)gone down to slaughter,
declares (Z)the King, (AA)whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 The calamity of Moab is near at hand,
and his affliction hastens swiftly.
17 (AB)Grieve for him, all you who are around him,
and all who know his name;
say, (AC)‘How the mighty scepter is broken,
the glorious staff.’
18 (AD)“Come down from your glory,
and sit on the parched ground,
O inhabitant of (AE)Dibon!
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you;
he has destroyed your strongholds.
19 (AF)Stand by the way (AG)and watch,
O inhabitant of (AH)Aroer!
Ask him who flees and her who escapes;
say, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab is put to shame, for it is broken;
(AI)wail and cry!
Tell it beside (AJ)the Arnon,
that (AK)Moab is laid waste.
21 “Judgment has come upon (AL)the tableland, upon Holon, and (AM)Jahzah, and Mephaath, 22 and (AN)Dibon, and (AO)Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, 23 and (AP)Kiriathaim, and Beth-gamul, and (AQ)Beth-meon, 24 and (AR)Kerioth, and (AS)Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25 (AT)The horn of Moab is cut off, and (AU)his arm is broken, declares the Lord.
26 (AV)“Make him drunk, (AW)because he magnified himself against the Lord, so that Moab shall (AX)wallow in his vomit, (AY)and he too shall be held in derision. 27 (AZ)Was not Israel a derision to you? (BA)Was he found among thieves, that whenever you spoke of him (BB)you wagged your head?
28 (BC)“Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock,
O inhabitants of Moab!
Be (BD)like the dove that nests
in the sides of the mouth of a gorge.
29 (BE)We have heard of the pride of Moab—
he is very proud—
of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance,
and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his insolence, declares the Lord;
(BF)his boasts are false,
his deeds are false.
31 (BG)Therefore I wail for Moab;
I cry out for all Moab;
for the men of (BH)Kir-hareseth I mourn.
32 More than for (BI)Jazer I weep for you,
(BJ)O vine of (BK)Sibmah!
(BL)Your branches passed over the sea,
reached to the Sea of (BM)Jazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
the destroyer has fallen.
33 (BN)Gladness and joy have been taken away
from the fruitful land of Moab;
I have made the wine cease from the winepresses;
no one treads them with shouts of joy;
the shouting is not the shout of joy.
34 (BO)“From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to (BP)Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate. 35 And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the Lord, him who offers sacrifice in (BQ)the high place and makes offerings to his god. 36 Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of (BR)Kir-hareseth. (BS)Therefore the riches they gained have perished.
37 (BT)“For every head is shaved and every beard cut off. (BU)On all the hands are gashes, and (BV)around the waist is sackcloth. 38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation, for I have broken Moab like (BW)a vessel for which no one cares, declares the Lord. 39 How it is broken! How they wail! (BX)How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab (BY)has become a derision and a horror to all that are around him.”
40 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, (BZ)one shall fly swiftly like an eagle
(CA)and spread his wings against Moab;
41 (CB)the cities shall be taken
and the strongholds seized.
(CC)The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that day
like the heart of (CD)a woman in her birth pains;
42 Moab shall be (CE)destroyed and be no longer a people,
because (CF)he magnified himself against the Lord.
43 (CG)Terror, pit, and snare
are before you, O inhabitant of Moab!
declares the Lord.
44 He who flees from the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
(CH)For I will bring these things upon Moab,
the year of their punishment,
declares the Lord.
45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
fugitives stop without strength,
for fire came out from Heshbon,
flame from the house of Sihon;
it has destroyed (CI)the forehead of Moab,
the crown of (CJ)the sons of tumult.
46 (CK)Woe to you, O Moab!
The people of (CL)Chemosh are undone,
for your sons have been taken captive,
and your daughters into captivity.
47 (CM)Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab
in the latter days, declares the Lord.”
Thus far is the judgment on Moab.
