1This is the word that the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Chaldeans:
1耶和華藉先知 耶利米 論 巴比倫 和 迦勒底 人之地所說的話。
2“Announce and declare to the nations; lift up a banner and proclaim it; hold nothing back when you say, ‘Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is shattered, her images are disgraced, her idols are broken in pieces.’
2你們要在萬國中傳揚報告， 豎立大旗； 要報告，不可隱瞞，說： 巴比倫 被攻取， 彼勒 蒙羞， 米羅達 驚惶。 巴比倫 的神像都蒙羞； 她的偶像都驚惶。
3For a nation from the north will come against her; it will make her land a desolation. No one will live in it; both man and beast will flee.”
3「因有一國從北方上來攻擊她，使她的地荒涼，無人居住，連人帶牲畜都逃走了。」
4“In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together, weeping as they come, and will seek the LORD their God.
4耶和華說：「當那日子、那時候， 以色列 人要和 猶大 人同來，隨走隨哭，尋求耶和華－他們的上帝。
5They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
5他們必訪問 錫安 ，又面向這裏， 說 ：『來吧，你們要與耶和華聯合為永遠不忘的約。』
6My people are lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, causing them to roam the mountains. They have wandered from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
6「我的百姓作了迷失的羊，牧人使他們走差路，使他們轉到山上。他們從大山走到小山，竟忘了安歇之處。
7All who found them devoured them, and their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the LORD, their true pasture, the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
7凡遇見他們的，就把他們吞滅。敵人說：『我們沒有罪；因他們得罪那作公義居所的耶和華，就是他們列祖所仰望的耶和華。』
8Flee from the midst of Babylon; depart from the land of the Chaldeans; be like the he-goats that lead the flock.
8「我 民哪 ，你們要從 巴比倫 中逃走，從 迦勒底 人之地出去，要像羊群前面走的公山羊。
9For behold, I stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north. They will line up against her; from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.
9因我必激動聯合的大國從北方上來攻擊 巴比倫 ，他們要擺陣攻擊她；她必從那裏被攻取。他們的箭好像善射之勇士的箭，一枝也不徒然返回。
10Chaldea will be plundered; all who plunder her will have their fill,” declares the LORD.
10迦勒底 必成為掠物；凡擄掠她的都必心滿意足。這是耶和華說的。」
11“Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph— you who plunder My inheritance— because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,
11搶奪我產業的啊， 你們因歡喜快樂， 且像踹 穀 撒歡的母牛犢， 又像發嘶聲的壯馬。
12your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who bore you will be disgraced. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
12你們的母 巴比倫 就極其抱愧， 生你們的必然蒙羞。 她要列在諸國之末， 成為曠野、旱地、沙漠。
13Because of the wrath of the LORD, she will not be inhabited; she will become completely desolate. All who pass through Babylon will be horrified and will hiss at all her wounds.
13因耶和華的忿怒，必無人居住， 要全然荒涼。 凡經過 巴比倫 的要受驚駭， 又因她所遭的災殃嗤笑。
14Line up in formation around Babylon, all you who draw the bow! Shoot at her! Spare no arrows! For she has sinned against the LORD.
14所有拉弓的，你們要在 巴比倫 的四圍擺陣， 射箭攻擊她。 不要愛惜箭枝， 因她得罪了耶和華。
15Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands in surrender; her towers have fallen; her walls are torn down. Since this is the vengeance of the LORD, take out your vengeance upon her; as she has done, do the same to her.
15你們要在她四圍吶喊； 她已經投降。 外郭坍塌了， 城牆拆毀了， 因為這是耶和華報仇的事。 你們要向 巴比倫 報仇； 她怎樣待人，也要怎樣待她。
16Cut off the sower from Babylon, and the one who wields the sickle at harvest time. In the face of the oppressor’s sword, each will turn to his own people, each will flee to his own land.
16你們要將 巴比倫 撒種的 和收割時拿鐮刀的都剪除了。 他們各人因怕欺壓的刀劍， 必歸回本族，逃到本土。
17Israel is a scattered flock, chased away by lions. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.”
17「 以色列 是打散的羊，是被獅子趕出的。首先是 亞述 王將他吞滅，末後是 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 將他的骨頭折斷。」
18Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.
18所以萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：「我必罰 巴比倫 王和他的地，像我從前罰 亞述 王一樣。
19I will return Israel to his pasture, and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
19我必再領 以色列 回他的草場，他必在 迦密 和 巴珊 吃草，又在 以法蓮 山上和 基列 境內得以飽足。」
20In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, a search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for Judah’s sins, but they will not be found; for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.
20耶和華說：「當那日子、那時候，雖尋 以色列 的罪孽，一無所有；雖尋 猶大 的罪惡，也無所見；因為我所留下的人，我必赦免。」
21Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the residents of Pekod. Kill them and devote them to destruction. Do all that I have commanded you,” declares the LORD.
21耶和華說：上去攻擊 米拉大翁 之地， 又攻擊 比割 的居民。 要追殺滅盡， 照我一切所吩咐你的去行。
22“The noise of battle is in the land— the noise of great destruction.
22境內有打仗和大毀滅的響聲。
23How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
23全地的大錘何竟砍斷破壞？ 巴比倫 在列國中何竟荒涼？
24I laid a snare for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured because you challenged the LORD.
24巴比倫 哪，我為你設下網羅， 你不知不覺被纏住。 你被尋着，也被捉住； 因為你與耶和華爭競。
25The LORD has opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, for this is the work of the Lord GOD of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
25耶和華已經開了武庫， 拿出他惱恨的兵器； 因為主－萬軍之耶和華 在 迦勒底 人之地有 當做的事 。
26Come against her from the farthest border. Break open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain. Devote her to destruction; leave her no survivors.
26你們要從極遠的邊界來攻擊她， 開她的倉廩， 將她堆如高堆， 毀滅淨盡，絲毫不留。
27Kill all her young bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come— the time of their punishment.
27要殺她的一切牛犢， 使他們下去遭遇殺戮。 他們有禍了， 因為追討他們的日子已經來到。 （
28Listen to the fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon, declaring in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance for His temple.
28有從 巴比倫 之地逃避出來的人，在 錫安 揚聲報告耶和華－我們的上帝報仇，就是為他的殿報仇。）
29Summon the archers against Babylon, all who string the bow. Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
29「招集一切弓箭手來攻擊 巴比倫 。要在 巴比倫 四圍安營，不要容一人逃脫，照着她所做的報應她；她怎樣待人，也要怎樣待她，因為她向耶和華－ 以色列 的聖者發了狂傲。
30Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD.
30所以她的少年人必仆倒在街上。當那日，一切兵丁必默默無聲。這是耶和華說的。」
31“Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, “for your day has come, the time when I will punish you.
31主－萬軍之耶和華說： 你這狂傲的啊，我與你反對， 因為我追討你的日子已經來到。
32The arrogant one will stumble and fall with no one to pick him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities to consume all those around him.”
32狂傲的必絆跌仆倒，無人扶起。 我也必使火在他的城邑中着起來， 將他四圍所有的盡行燒滅。
33This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “The sons of Israel are oppressed, and the sons of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to release them.
33萬軍之耶和華如此說：「 以色列 人和 猶大 人一同受欺壓；凡擄掠他們的都緊緊抓住他們，不肯釋放。
34Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He may bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.
34他們的救贖主大有能力，萬軍之耶和華是他的名。他必伸清他們的冤，好使全地得平安，並攪擾 巴比倫 的居民。」
35A sword is against the Chaldeans, declares the LORD, against those who live in Babylon, and against her officials and wise men.
35耶和華說：「 有刀劍臨到 迦勒底 人和 巴比倫 的居民， 並她的首領與智慧人。
36A sword is against her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is against her warriors, and they will be filled with terror.
36有刀劍臨到矜誇的人， 他們就成為愚昧； 有刀劍臨到她的勇士， 他們就驚惶。
37A sword is against her horses and chariots and against all the foreigners in her midst, and they will become like women. A sword is against her treasuries, and they will be plundered.
37有刀劍臨到她的馬匹、車輛， 和其中雜族的人民； 他們必像婦女一樣。 有刀劍臨到她的寶物， 就被搶奪。
38A drought is upon her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and the people go mad over idols.
38有乾旱臨到她的眾水， 就必乾涸； 因為這是有雕刻偶像之地， 人因偶像而顛狂。
39So the desert creatures and hyenas will live there and ostriches will dwell there. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.
39所以曠野的走獸和豺狼必住在那裏，鴕鳥也住在其中，永無人煙，世世代代無人居住。」
40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
40耶和華說：「必無人住在那裏，也無人在其中寄居，要像我傾覆 所多瑪 、 蛾摩拉 ，和鄰近的城邑一樣。
41Behold, an army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are stirred up from the ends of the earth.
41看哪，有一種民從北方而來， 並有一大國和許多君王被激動，從地極來到。
42They grasp the bow and spear; they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Babylon.
42他們拿弓和槍， 性情殘忍，不施憐憫； 他們的聲音像海浪匉訇。 巴比倫 城啊， 他們騎馬， 都擺隊伍如上戰場的人， 要攻擊你。
43The king of Babylon has heard the report, and his hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped him, pain like that of a woman in labor.
43巴比倫 王聽見他們的風聲， 手就發軟， 痛苦將他抓住， 疼痛彷彿產難的婦人。
44Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Babylon 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?”
44「 仇敵 必像獅子從 約旦河 邊的叢林上來，攻擊堅固的居所。轉眼之間，我要使他們逃跑，離開這地。誰蒙揀選，我就派誰治理這地。誰能比我呢？誰能給我定規日期呢？有何牧人能在我面前站立得住呢？
45Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Babylon and the strategies He has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.
45你們要聽耶和華攻擊 巴比倫 所說的謀略和他攻擊 迦勒底 人之地所定的旨意。仇敵定要將他們群眾微弱的拉去，定要使他們的居所荒涼。
46At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will quake; a cry will be heard among the nations.
46因 巴比倫 被取的聲音，地就震動，人在列邦都聽見呼喊的聲音。」
