耶利米書 51
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1耶和華如此說： 我必使毀滅的風颳起， 攻擊 巴比倫 和住在 立加米 的人。
1Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will raise up as it were a pestilential wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants thereof, who have lifted up their heart against me.
2我要打發外邦人來到 巴比倫 ， 簸揚她，使她的地空虛。 在她遭禍的日子， 他們要周圍攻擊她。
2And I will send to Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall destroy her land: for they are come upon her on every side in the day of her affliction.
3拉弓的，要向拉弓的和貫甲挺身的射箭。 不要憐惜她的少年人； 要滅盡她的全軍。
3Let not him that bendeth, bend his bow, and let not, him go up that is armed with a coat of mail: spare not her young men, destroy all her army.
4他們必在 迦勒底 人之地被殺仆倒， 在 巴比倫 的街上被刺透。
4And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in the regions thereof.
5以色列 和 猶大 雖然境內充滿違背 以色列 聖者的罪， 卻沒有被他的上帝－萬軍之耶和華丟棄。
5For Israel and Juda have not been forsaken by their God the Lord of hosts: but their land hath been filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6你們要從 巴比倫 中逃奔， 各救自己的性命！ 不要陷在她的罪孽中一同滅亡； 因為這是耶和華報仇的時候， 他必向 巴比倫 施行報應。
6Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will I render unto her what she hath deserved.
7巴比倫 素來是耶和華手中的金杯， 使天下沉醉； 萬國喝了她的酒就顛狂了。
7Babylon hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
8巴比倫 忽然傾覆毀壞； 要為她哀號； 為止她的疼痛， 拿乳香或者可以治好。
8Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
9我們想醫治 巴比倫 ， 她卻沒有治好。 離開她吧！我們各人歸回本國； 因為她受的審判通於上天，達到穹蒼。
9We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds.
10耶和華已經彰顯我們的公義。 來吧！我們可以在 錫安 報告耶和華－我們上帝的作為。
10The Lord hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion the work of the Lord our God.
11你們要磨尖了箭頭， 抓住盾牌。 耶和華定意攻擊 巴比倫 ，將她毀滅，所以激動了 米底亞 君王的心；因這是耶和華報仇，就是為自己的殿報仇。
11Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers, the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
12你們要豎立大旗， 攻擊 巴比倫 的城牆； 要堅固瞭望臺， 派定守望的設下埋伏； 因為耶和華指着 巴比倫 居民所說的話、 所定的意，他已經作成。
12Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13住在眾水之上多有財寶的啊， 你的結局到了！ 你貪婪之量滿了！
13O thou that dwellest upon many waters, rich in treasures, thy end is come for thy entire destruction.
14萬軍之耶和華指着自己起誓 說 ： 我必使 敵 人充滿你，像螞蚱一樣； 他們必吶喊攻擊你。
14The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee.
15耶和華用能力創造大地， 用智慧建立世界， 用聰明鋪張穹蒼。
15He that made the earth by his power, that hath prepared the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
16他一發聲，空中便有多水激動； 他使雲霧從地極上騰。 他造電隨雨而閃， 從他府庫中帶出風來。
16When he uttereth his voice the waters are multiplied in heaven: he lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth, he hath turned lightning into rain: and hath brought forth the wind out of his treasures.
17各人都成了畜類，毫無知識。 各銀匠都因他的偶像羞愧； 他所鑄的偶像本是虛假的， 其中並無氣息，
17Every man is become foolish by his knowledge: every founder is confounded by his idol, for what he hath cast is a lie, and there is no breath in them.
18都是虛無的，是迷惑人的工作， 到追討的時候，必被除滅。
18They are vain works, and worthy to be laughed at, in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19雅各 的分不像這些， 因他是造作萬有的 主 ； 以色列 也是他產業的支派。 萬軍之耶和華是他的名。
19The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he that made all things he it is, and Israel is the sceptre of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
20你是我爭戰的斧子和打仗的兵器； 我要用你打碎列國， 用你毀滅列邦；
20Thou dashest together for me the weapons of war, and with thee I will dash nations together, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms:
21用你打碎馬和騎馬的； 用你打碎戰車和坐在其上的；
21And with thee I will break in pieces the horse, and his rider, and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot, and him that getteth up into it:
22用你打碎男人和女人； 用你打碎老年人和少年人； 用你打碎壯丁和處女；
22And with thee I will break in pieces man and woman, and with thee I will break in pieces the old man and the child, and with thee I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin:
23用你打碎牧人和他的群畜； 用你打碎農夫和他一對 牛 ； 用你打碎省長和副省長。
23And with thee I will break in pieces the shepherd and his dock, and with thee I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee I will break in pieces captains and rulers.
24耶和華說：「我必在你們眼前報復 巴比倫 人和 迦勒底 居民在 錫安 所行的諸惡。」
24And I will render to Babylon, and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil, that they have done in Sion, before your eyes, saith the Lord.
25耶和華說： 你這行毀滅的山哪， 就是毀滅天下的山， 我與你反對。 我必向你伸手， 將你從山巖滾下去， 使你成為燒毀的山。
25Behold I come against thee, thou destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which corruptest the whole earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
26人必不從你那裏取石頭為房角石， 也不取石頭為根基石； 你必永遠荒涼。 這是耶和華說的。
26And they shall not take of thee a stone for the corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for ever, saith the Lord.
27要在境內豎立大旗， 在各國中吹角， 使列國預備攻擊 巴比倫 ， 將 亞拉臘 、 米尼 、 亞實基拿 各國招來攻擊她； 又派軍長來攻擊她， 使馬匹上來如螞蚱，
27Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as the stinging locust.
28使列國和 米底亞 君王，與省長和副省長， 並他們所管全地之人，都預備攻擊她。
28Prepare the nations against her, the kings of Media, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the land of their dominion.
29地必震動而瘠苦； 因耶和華向 巴比倫 所定的旨意成立了， 使 巴比倫 之地荒涼，無人居住。
29And the land shall be in a commotion, and shall be troubled: for the design of the Lord against Babylon shall awake, to make the land of Babylon desert and uninhabitable.
30巴比倫 的勇士止息爭戰， 藏在堅壘之中。 他們的勇力衰盡，好像婦女一樣。 巴比倫 的住處有火着起， 門閂都折斷了。
30The valiant men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have dwelt in holds: their strength hath failed, and they are become as women: her dwelling places are burnt, her bars are broken.
31跑報的要彼此相遇， 送信的要互相迎接， 報告 巴比倫 王說： 城的四方被攻取了，
31One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken from one end to the other:
32渡口被佔據了， 葦塘被火燒了， 兵丁也驚慌了。
32And that the fords are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說： 巴比倫 城好像踹穀的禾場； 再過片時，收割她的時候就到了。
33For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
34以色列 人說： 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 吞滅我，壓碎我， 使我成為空虛的器皿。 他像大魚將我吞下， 用我的美物充滿他的肚腹， 又將我趕出去。
34Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath eaten me up, he hath devoured me: he hath made me as an empty vessel: he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicate meats, and he hath cast me out.
35錫安 的居民要說： 巴比倫 以強暴待我， 損害我的身體， 願這罪歸給她。 耶路撒冷 人要說： 願流我們血的罪歸到 迦勒底 的居民。
35The wrong done to me, and my flesh be upon Babylon, saith the habitation of Sion: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, saith Jerusalem.
36所以，耶和華如此說： 我必為你伸冤，為你報仇； 我必使 巴比倫 的海枯竭，使她的泉源乾涸。
36Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will judge thy cause, and will take vengeance for thee, and I will make her sea desolate, and will dry up her spring.
37巴比倫 必成為亂堆，為野狗的住處， 令人驚駭、嗤笑， 並且無人居住。
37And Babylon shall be reduced to heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
38他們要像少壯獅子咆哮， 像小獅子吼叫。
38They shall roar together like lions, they shall shake their manes like young lions.
39他們火熱的時候， 我必為他們設擺酒席， 使他們沉醉，好叫他們快樂， 睡了長覺，永不醒起。 這是耶和華說的。
39In their heat I will set them drink: and I will make them drunk, that they may slumber, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and awake no more, saith the Lord.
40我必使他們像羊羔、 像公綿羊和公山羊下到宰殺之地。
40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with kids.
41示沙克 何竟被攻取？ 天下所稱讚的何竟被佔據？ 巴比倫 在列國中何竟變為荒場？
41How is Sesach taken, and the renowned one of all the earth surprised? How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
42海水漲起，漫過 巴比倫 ； 她被許多海浪遮蓋。
42The sea is come up over Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43她的城邑變為荒場、旱地、沙漠， 無人居住，無人經過之地。
43Her cities are become an astonishment, a land uninhabited and desolate, a land wherein none can dwell, nor son of man pass through it.
44我必刑罰 巴比倫 的 彼勒 ， 使他吐出所吞的。 萬民必不再流歸他那裏； 巴比倫 的城牆也必坍塌了。
44And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he had swallowed down: and the rations shall no more flow together to him, for the wall also of Babylon shall fall.
45我的民哪，你們要從其中出去！ 各人拯救自己，躲避耶和華的烈怒。
45Go out of the midst of her, my people: that every man may save his life from the fierce wrath of the Lord.
46你們不要心驚膽怯， 也不要因境內所聽見的風聲懼怕； 因為這年有風聲傳來； 那年也有風聲 傳來 ， 境內有強暴的事， 官長攻擊官長。
46And lest your hearts faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land: and a rumour shall come in one year, and after this year another rumour: and iniquity in the land, and ruler upon ruler.
47日子將到，我必刑罰 巴比倫 雕刻的偶像。 她全地必然抱愧； 她被殺的人必在其中仆倒。
47Therefore behold the days come, and I will visit the idols of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48那時，天地和其中所有的， 必因 巴比倫 歡呼， 因為行毀滅的要從北方來到她那裏。 這是耶和華說的。
48And the heavens and the earth, and all things that are in them shall give praise for Babylon: for spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith the Lord.
49巴比倫 怎樣使 以色列 被殺的人仆倒， 照樣她全地被殺的人也必在 巴比倫 仆倒。
49And as Babylon caused that there should fall slain in Israel: so of Babylon there shall fall slain in all the earth.
50你們躲避刀劍的要快走， 不要站住！ 要在遠方記念耶和華， 心中追想 耶路撒冷 。
50You that have escaped the sword, come away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51我們聽見辱罵就蒙羞，滿面慚愧， 因為外邦人進入耶和華殿的聖所。
51We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: because strangers are come upon the sanctuaries of the house of the Lord.
52耶和華說： 日子將到，我必刑罰 巴比倫 雕刻的偶像， 通國受傷的人必唉哼。
52Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:
53巴比倫 雖升到天上， 雖使她堅固的高處更堅固， 還有行毀滅的從我這裏到她那裏。 這是耶和華說的。
53If Babylon should mount up to heaven, and establish her strength on high: from me there should come spoilers upon her, saith the Lord.
54有哀號的聲音從 巴比倫 出來； 有大毀滅的響聲從 迦勒底 人之地發出。
54The noise of a cry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55因耶和華使 巴比倫 變為荒場， 使其中的大聲滅絕。 仇敵彷彿眾水， 波浪匉訇，響聲已經發出。
55Because the Lord hath laid Babylon waste, and destroyed out of her the great voice: and their wave shall roar like many waters: their voice hath made a noise:
56這是行毀滅的臨到 巴比倫 。 巴比倫 的勇士被捉住， 他們的弓折斷了； 因為耶和華是施行報應的上帝， 必定施行報應。
56Because the spoiler is come upon her, that is, upon Babylon, and her valiant men are taken, and their bow is weakened, because the Lord, who is a strong revenger, will surely repay.
57君王－名為萬軍之耶和華的說： 我必使 巴比倫 的首領、 智慧人、省長、副省長，和勇士都沉醉， 使他們睡了長覺，永不醒起。
57And I will make her princes drunk. and her wise men, and her captains, and her rulers, and her valiant men: and they shall sleep an everlasting sleep, and shall awake no more, saith the whose name is Lord of hosts.
58萬軍之耶和華如此說： 巴比倫 寬闊的城牆必全然傾倒； 她高大的城門必被火焚燒。 眾民所勞碌的必致虛空； 列國所勞碌的被火焚燒， 他們都必困乏。
58Thus saith the Lord of hosts: That broad wall of Babylon shall be utterly broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire, and the labours of the people shall come to nothing, and of the nations shall go to the fire, and shall perish.
59猶大 王 西底家 在位第四年，上 巴比倫 去的時候， 瑪西雅 的孫子、 尼利亞 的兒子 西萊雅 與王同去（ 西萊雅 是王宮的大臣），先知 耶利米 有話吩咐他。
59The word that Jeremias the prophet commanded Saraias the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, when he went with king Sedecias to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign: now Saraias was chief over the prophecy.
60耶利米 將一切要臨到 巴比倫 的災禍，就是論到 巴比倫 的一切話，寫在書上。
60And Jeremias wrote in one book all the evil that was to come upon Babylon: all these words that are written against Babylon.
61耶利米 對 西萊雅 說：「你到了 巴比倫 務要念這書上的話；
61And Jeremias said to Saraias: When thou shalt come into Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words,
62又說：『耶和華啊，你曾論到這地方說：要剪除，甚至連人帶牲畜沒有在這裏居住的，必永遠荒涼。』
62Thou shalt say: O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place to destroy it: so that there should be neither man nor beast to dwell therein, and that it should be desolate for ever.
63你念完了這書，就把一塊石頭拴在書上，扔在 幼發拉底河 中，
63And when thou shalt have made an end of reading this book, thou shalt tie a stone to it, and shalt throw it into the midst of the Euphrates:
64說：『 巴比倫 因耶和華所要降與她的災禍，必如此沉下去，不再興起，人民也必困乏。』」 耶利米 的話到此為止。
64And thou shalt say: Thus shall Babylon sink, and she shall not rise up from the affliction that I will bring upon her, and she shall be utterly destroyed. Thus far are the words of Jeremias.
