耶利米书 49
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
有关亚扪的话
49 论亚扪人。
耶和华如此说:
以色列没有儿子吗?
没有后嗣吗?
米勒公[a]为何承受迦得为业呢?
属它的百姓为何住其中的城镇呢?
2 看哪,日子将到,我必使人听见打仗的喊声,
攻击亚扪人所住的拉巴的喊声。
拉巴要成为废墟,
属它的乡镇[b]要被火焚烧。
这是耶和华说的。
先前承受以色列为业的,
此时以色列倒要承受他们为业。
这是耶和华说的。
3 希实本哪,要哀号,
因为爱地已成荒地。
拉巴的乡镇哪,要呼喊,
以麻布束腰;
要哭号,在篱笆中往来奔跑;
因米勒公和它的祭司、
官长要一同被掳去。
4 背道的民[c]哪,
你为何因有山谷,
因有水流的山谷夸耀呢?
为何倚靠自己的财宝,说:
“谁能来到我们这里呢?”
5 万军之主耶和华说:
看哪,我要使惊吓从四围的邻邦临到你们;
你们必被赶出,
各人一直往前,
无人收容难民。
6 但后来,我却要使被掳的亚扪人归回。这是耶和华说的。
有关以东的话
7 论以东。
万军之耶和华如此说:
提幔不再有智慧了吗?
聪明人的谋略都用尽了吗?
他们的智慧尽归无有了吗?
8 底但的居民哪,要转身逃跑,
住在深密处;
因为我惩罚以扫的时候,
必使灾殃临到他。
9 摘葡萄的若来到你那里,
岂不留下几串吗?
贼若夜间来到,
岂不是只毁坏他们要毁坏的吗?
10 我却使以扫赤裸,
暴露他的藏身处;
他不能隐藏自己。
他的后裔、弟兄、邻舍全都灭绝,
他也归于无有。
11 你撇下孤儿,我必保全他们的性命;
你的寡妇可以倚靠我。
12 耶和华如此说:“看哪,既然原不该喝那杯的一定要喝,你能免去惩罚吗?必不能免,一定要喝! 13 我指着自己起誓,波斯拉必令人惊骇、受羞辱、被诅咒,并且全然荒废。它所有的城镇都要永远成为废墟。这是耶和华说的。”
14 我从耶和华那里听见消息,
有使者被差往列国去,说:
“你们要聚集前来攻击以东,
要起来争战。”
15 看哪,我使你在列国中为最小,
在世人中被藐视。
16 住在山穴中盘据山顶的啊,
你被自己的声势与心中的狂傲所蒙蔽;
你虽如大鹰高高搭窝,
我却要从那里拉你下来。
这是耶和华说的。
17 以东必令人惊骇;凡经过的人都惊骇,又因它一切的灾祸嗤笑。 18 耶和华说:它要像所多玛、蛾摩拉和邻近的城镇一样倾覆,必无人住在那里,也无人在其中寄居。 19 看哪,就像狮子从约旦河边的丛林上来,攻击坚固的居所,我要在转眼之间使以东人逃跑,离开这地。我拣选谁,就派谁治理这地。谁能像我呢?谁能召我出庭呢?[d]有哪一个牧人能在我面前站得住呢? 20 你们要听耶和华攻击以东所定的计划和他攻击提幔居民所定的旨意。他们羊群当中微弱的定要被拖走,他们的草场定要变为荒凉。 21 因他们仆倒的声音,地就震动,哀号的声音传到红海[e]那里。 22 看哪,仇敌必如大鹰飞起,展开翅膀攻击波斯拉。到那日,以东的勇士心中疼痛如临产的妇人。
有关大马士革的话
23 论大马士革。
哈马和亚珥拔蒙羞,
因为他们听见凶恶的消息就融化;
焦虑像海浪汹涌,不得平静。
24 大马士革发软,转身逃跑;
战兢将它捉住,
痛苦忧愁将它抓住,
如临产的妇人一样。
25 我所喜乐受称赞的城,
怎能被撇弃[f]呢?
26 它的壮丁必仆倒在街上,
当那日,战士全都静默无声。
这是万军之耶和华说的。
27 我必用火点燃大马士革的城墙,
烧灭便‧哈达的宫殿。
有关基达和夏琐的话
28 论巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所攻打的基达和夏琐诸国。
耶和华如此说:
迦勒底人哪,起来上基达去,
毁灭东方人。
29 人要夺去他们的帐棚和羊群,
人要带走他们的幔子、一切器皿,和骆驼,占为己有。
人向他们喊着说:
四围都有惊吓。
30 夏琐的居民哪,要逃奔远方,
住在深密处;
因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒设计谋害你们,
起意攻击你们。
这是耶和华说的。
31 迦勒底人哪,起来!
上到安逸无虑的国民那里去,
他们是无门无闩、单独居住的。
这是耶和华说的。
32 他们的骆驼必成为掠物,
他们众多的牲畜必成为掳物。
我要将剃鬓发的人分散四方[g],
使灾殃从四围临到他们。
这是耶和华说的。
33 夏琐必成为野狗的住处,
永远荒废;
无人住在那里,
也无人在其中寄居。
有关以拦的话
34 犹大王西底家登基的时候,耶和华论以拦的话临到耶利米先知,说:
35 “万军之耶和华如此说:看哪,我必折断以拦人的弓,那是他们战斗的主力。 36 我要使风从天的四方刮来,临到以拦,将他们分散四方。以拦被赶散的人没有一国不到的。 37 我必使以拦人在仇敌和寻索其命的人面前惊惶;我也必使灾祸,就是我的烈怒临到他们,又必使刀剑追杀他们,直到将他们灭尽。这是耶和华说的。 38 我要在以拦设立我的宝座,在那里除灭君王和官长。这是耶和华说的。
39 “到末后,我却要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。”
Jeremiah 49
King James Version
49 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the Lord.
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
6 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord.
7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.
9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
12 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.
30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.
32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.
33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.
Jeremiah 49
New International Version
A Message About Ammon
49 Concerning the Ammonites:(A)
This is what the Lord says:
“Has Israel no sons?
Has Israel no heir?
Why then has Molek[a](B) taken possession of Gad?(C)
Why do his people live in its towns?
2 But the days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I will sound the battle cry(D)
against Rabbah(E) of the Ammonites;
it will become a mound of ruins,(F)
and its surrounding villages will be set on fire.
Then Israel will drive out
those who drove her out,(G)”
says the Lord.
3 “Wail, Heshbon,(H) for Ai(I) is destroyed!
Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth(J) and mourn;
rush here and there inside the walls,
for Molek(K) will go into exile,(L)
together with his priests and officials.
4 Why do you boast of your valleys,
boast of your valleys so fruitful?
Unfaithful Daughter Ammon,(M)
you trust in your riches(N) and say,
‘Who will attack me?’(O)
5 I will bring terror on you
from all those around you,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
“Every one of you will be driven away,
and no one will gather the fugitives.(P)
6 “Yet afterward, I will restore(Q) the fortunes of the Ammonites,”
declares the Lord.
A Message About Edom(R)(S)
7 Concerning Edom:(T)
This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?(U)
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom decayed?
8 Turn and flee, hide in deep caves,(V)
you who live in Dedan,(W)
for I will bring disaster on Esau
at the time when I punish him.
9 If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?
If thieves came during the night,
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
10 But I will strip Esau bare;
I will uncover his hiding places,(X)
so that he cannot conceal himself.
His armed men are destroyed,
also his allies and neighbors,
so there is no one(Y) to say,
11 ‘Leave your fatherless children;(Z) I will keep them alive.
Your widows(AA) too can depend on me.’”
12 This is what the Lord says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup(AB) must drink it, why should you go unpunished?(AC) You will not go unpunished, but must drink it. 13 I swear(AD) by myself,” declares the Lord, “that Bozrah(AE) will become a ruin and a curse,[b] an object of horror(AF) and reproach;(AG) and all its towns will be in ruins forever.”(AH)
14 I have heard a message from the Lord;
an envoy was sent to the nations to say,
“Assemble yourselves to attack it!
Rise up for battle!”
15 “Now I will make you small among the nations,
despised by mankind.
16 The terror you inspire
and the pride(AI) of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks,(AJ)
who occupy the heights of the hill.
Though you build your nest(AK) as high as the eagle’s,
from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.
17 “Edom will become an object of horror;(AL)
all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff
because of all its wounds.(AM)
18 As Sodom(AN) and Gomorrah(AO) were overthrown,
along with their neighboring towns,”
says the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell(AP) in it.
19 “Like a lion(AQ) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(AR)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Edom from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like(AS) me and who can challenge me?(AT)
And what shepherd(AU) can stand against me?”
20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(AV)
what he has purposed(AW) against those who live in Teman:(AX)
The young of the flock(AY) will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(AZ)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(BA)
their cry(BB) will resound to the Red Sea.[c]
22 Look! An eagle will soar and swoop(BC) down,
spreading its wings over Bozrah.(BD)
In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors(BE)
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.(BF)
A Message About Damascus
23 Concerning Damascus:(BG)
“Hamath(BH) and Arpad(BI) are dismayed,
for they have heard bad news.
They are disheartened,
troubled like[d] the restless sea.(BJ)
24 Damascus has become feeble,
she has turned to flee
and panic has gripped her;
anguish and pain have seized her,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(BK)
25 Why has the city of renown not been abandoned,
the town in which I delight?
26 Surely, her young men(BL) will fall in the streets;
all her soldiers will be silenced(BM) in that day,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
27 “I will set fire(BN) to the walls of Damascus;(BO)
it will consume(BP) the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.(BQ)”
A Message About Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning Kedar(BR) and the kingdoms of Hazor,(BS) which Nebuchadnezzar(BT) king of Babylon attacked:
This is what the Lord says:
“Arise, and attack Kedar
and destroy the people of the East.(BU)
29 Their tents and their flocks(BV) will be taken;
their shelters will be carried off
with all their goods and camels.
People will shout to them,
‘Terror(BW) on every side!’
30 “Flee quickly away!
Stay in deep caves,(BX) you who live in Hazor,(BY)”
declares the Lord.
“Nebuchadnezzar(BZ) king of Babylon has plotted against you;
he has devised a plan against you.
31 “Arise and attack a nation at ease,
which lives in confidence,”
declares the Lord,
“a nation that has neither gates nor bars;(CA)
its people live far from danger.
32 Their camels(CB) will become plunder,
and their large herds(CC) will be spoils of war.
I will scatter to the winds(CD) those who are in distant places[e](CE)
and will bring disaster on them from every side,”
declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor(CF) will become a haunt of jackals,(CG)
a desolate(CH) place forever.
No one will live there;
no people will dwell(CI) in it.”
A Message About Elam
34 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam,(CJ) early in the reign of Zedekiah(CK) king of Judah:
35 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will break the bow(CL) of Elam,
the mainstay of their might.
36 I will bring against Elam the four winds(CM)
from the four quarters of heaven;(CN)
I will scatter them to the four winds,
and there will not be a nation
where Elam’s exiles do not go.
37 I will shatter Elam before their foes,
before those who want to kill them;
I will bring disaster on them,
even my fierce anger,”(CO)
declares the Lord.
“I will pursue them with the sword(CP)
until I have made an end of them.
38 I will set my throne in Elam
and destroy her king and officials,”
declares the Lord.
39 “Yet I will restore(CQ) the fortunes of Elam
in days to come,”
declares the Lord.
