# 耶-Jer 51 ## 耶51:1 耶和华如此说：“我必使毁灭的风刮起，攻击巴比伦和住在立加米的人。 Jer 51:1 “Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon, against the inhabitants of Leb-kamai,” ## 耶51:2 我要打发外邦人来到巴比伦，簸扬他，使他的地空虚。在他遭祸的日子，他们要周围攻击他。 Jer 51:2 “and I will send to Babylon winnowers, and they shall winnow her, and they shall empty her land, when they come against her from every side on the day of trouble.” ## 耶51:3 拉弓的，要向拉弓的和贯甲挺身的射箭。不要怜惜他的少年人，要灭尽他的全军。 Jer 51:3 “Let not the archer bend his bow, and let him not stand up in his armor. Spare not her young men; devote to destruction all her army.” ## 耶51:4 他们必在迦勒底人之，地被杀仆倒，在巴比伦的街上被刺透。 Jer 51:4 “They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and wounded in her streets.” ## 耶51:5 以色列和犹大，虽然境内充满违背以色列圣者的罪，却没有被他的神万军之耶和华丢弃。 Jer 51:5 “For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the LORD of hosts, but the land of the Chaldeans is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.” ## 耶51:6 你们要从巴比伦中逃奔，各救自己的性命，不要陷在他的罪孽中一同灭亡，因为这是耶和华报仇的时候，他必向巴比伦施行报应。 Jer 51:6 “Flee from the midst of Babylon; let every one save his life! Be not cut off in her punishment, for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance, the repayment he is rendering her.” ## 耶51:7 巴比伦素来是耶和华手中的金杯，使天下沉醉；万国喝了他的酒就颠狂了。 Jer 51:7 “Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine; therefore the nations went mad.” ## 耶51:8 巴比伦忽然倾覆毁坏，要为他哀号；为止他的疼痛，拿乳香或者可以治好。 Jer 51:8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; wail for her! Take balm for her pain; perhaps she may be healed. ## 耶51:9 我们想医治巴比伦，他却没有治好。离开他吧！我们各人归回本国，因为他受的审判通于上天，达到穹苍。 Jer 51:9 “We would have healed Babylon, but she was not healed. Forsake her, and let us go each to his own country, for her judgment has reached up to heaven and has been lifted up even to the skies.” ## 耶51:10 “耶和华已经彰显我们的公义。来吧！我们可以在锡安报告耶和华我们神的作为。” Jer 51:10 “The LORD has brought about our vindication; come, let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.” ## 耶51:11 你们要磨尖了箭头，抓住盾牌；耶和华定意攻击巴比伦，将他毁灭，所以激动了玛代君王的心，因这是耶和华报仇，就是为自己的殿报仇。 Jer 51:11 “Sharpen the arrows! Take up the shields! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, for that is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance for his temple.” ## 耶51:12 你们要竖立大旗，攻击巴比伦的城墙；要坚固了望台，派定守望的设下埋伏，因为耶和华指着巴比伦居民所说的话，所定的意，他已经作成。 Jer 51:12 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both planned and done what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. ## 耶51:13 住在众水之上多有财宝的啊，你的结局到了！你贪婪之量满了！ Jer 51:13 “O you who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut.” ## 耶51:14 万军之耶和华指着自己起誓说：“我必使敌人充满你，象蚂蚱一样；他们必呐喊攻击你。” Jer 51:14 “The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself: Surely I will fill you with men, as many as locusts, and they shall raise the shout of victory over you.” ## 耶51:15 耶和华用能力创造大地，用智慧建立世界，用聪明铺张穹苍。 Jer 51:15 “It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.” ## 耶51:16 他一发声，空中便有多水激动；他使云雾从地极上腾。他造电随雨而闪，从他府库中带出风来。 Jer 51:16 “When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.” ## 耶51:17 各人都成了畜类，毫无知识，各银匠都因他的偶像羞愧。他所铸的偶像，本是虚假的，其中并无气息； Jer 51:17 “Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false, and there is no breath in them.” ## 耶51:18 都是虚无的，是迷惑人的工作；到追讨的时候，必被除灭。 Jer 51:18 “They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.” ## 耶51:19 雅各的分不象这些，因他是造作万有的主；以色列也是他产业的支派。万军之耶和华是他的名。 Jer 51:19 “Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name.” ## 耶51:20 你是我争战的斧子和打仗的兵器；我要用你打碎列国，用你毁灭列邦； Jer 51:20 You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms; ## 耶51:21 用你打碎马和骑马的；用你打碎战车和坐在其上的； Jer 51:21 with you I break in pieces the horse and his rider; with you I break in pieces the chariot and the charioteer; ## 耶51:22 用你打碎男人和女人；用你打碎老年人和少年人；用你打碎壮丁和处女； Jer 51:22 with you I break in pieces man and woman; with you I break in pieces the old man and the youth; with you I break in pieces the young man and the young woman; ## 耶51:23 用你打碎牧人和他的群畜；用你打碎农夫和他一对牛；用你打碎省长和副省长。 Jer 51:23 with you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; with you I break in pieces the farmer and his team; with you I break in pieces governors and commanders. ## 耶51:24 耶和华说：“我必在你们眼前报复巴比伦人和迦勒底居民在锡安所行的诸恶。” Jer 51:24 “I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea before your very eyes for all the evil that they have done in Zion, declares the LORD.” ## 耶51:25 耶和华说：“你这行毁灭的山哪，就是毁灭天下的山，我与你反对；我必向你伸手，将你从山岩滚下去，使你成为烧毁的山。 Jer 51:25 “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, declares the LORD, which destroys the whole earth; I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the crags, and make you a burnt mountain.” ## 耶51:26 人必不从你那里取石头为房角石，也不取石头为根基石；你必永远荒凉。这是耶和华说的。” Jer 51:26 “No stone shall be taken from you for a corner and no stone for a foundation, but you shall be a perpetual waste, declares the LORD.” ## 耶51:27 要在境内竖立大旗，在各国中吹角，使列国预备攻击巴比伦。将亚拉腊、米尼、亚实基拿各国招来攻击他；又派军长来攻击他；使马匹上来如蚂蚱； Jer 51:27 “Set up a standard on the earth; blow the trumpet among the nations; prepare the nations for war against her; summon against her the kingdoms, Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a marshal against her; bring up horses like bristling locusts.” ## 耶51:28 使列国和玛代君王，与省长和副省长，并他们所管全地之人，都预备攻击他。 Jer 51:28 “Prepare the nations for war against her, the kings of the Medes, with their governors and deputies, and every land under their dominion.” ## 耶51:29 地必震动而瘠苦；因耶和华向巴比伦所定的旨意成立了，使巴比伦之地荒凉，无人居住。 Jer 51:29 “The land trembles and writhes in pain, for the LORD’s purposes against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.” ## 耶51:30 巴比伦的勇士止息争战，藏在坚垒之中。他们的勇力衰尽，好象妇女一样。巴比伦的住处有火着起，门闩都折断了。 Jer 51:30 The warriors of Babylon have ceased fighting; they remain in their strongholds; their strength has failed; they have become women; her dwellings are on fire; her bars are broken. ## 耶51:31 跑报的要彼此相遇，送信的要互相迎接，报告巴比伦王说：“城的四方被攻取了， Jer 51:31 “One runner runs to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every side;” ## 耶51:32 渡口被占据了，苇塘被火烧了，兵丁也惊慌了。” Jer 51:32 “the fords have been seized, the marshes are burned with fire, and the soldiers are in panic.” ## 耶51:33 万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说：“巴比伦城(“城”原文作“女子”)好象踹谷的禾场。再过片时，收割他的时候就到了。” Jer 51:33 “For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while and the time of her harvest will come.” ## 耶51:34 以色列人说：“巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒吞灭我，压碎我，使我成为空虚的器皿。他象大鱼，将我吞下，用我的美物充满他的肚腹，又将我赶出去。” Jer 51:34 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me; he has crushed me; he has made me an empty vessel; he has swallowed me like a monster; he has filled his stomach with my delicacies; he has rinsed me out. ## 耶51:35 锡安的居民要说：“巴比伦以强暴待我，损害我的身体，愿这罪归给他。”耶路撒冷人要说：“愿流我们血的罪，归到迦勒底的居民。” Jer 51:35 “The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon,” let the inhabitant of Zion say. “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” let Jerusalem say.” ## 耶51:36 所以耶和华如此说：“我必为你伸冤，为你报仇；我必使巴比伦的海枯竭，使他的泉源干涸。 Jer 51:36 “Therefore thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will plead your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her fountain dry,” ## 耶51:37 巴比伦必成为乱堆，为野狗的住处，令人惊骇、嗤笑，并且无人居住。 Jer 51:37 “and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.” ## 耶51:38 他们要象少壮狮子咆哮，象小狮子吼叫。 Jer 51:38 They shall roar together like lions; they shall growl like lions’ cubs. ## 耶51:39 他们火热的时候，我必为他们设摆酒席，使他们沉醉，好叫他们快乐，睡了长觉，永不醒起。这是耶和华说的。 Jer 51:39 “While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk, that they may become merry, then sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, declares the LORD.” ## 耶51:40 我必使他们象羊羔，象公绵羊和公山羊，下到宰杀之地。 Jer 51:40 “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and male goats.” ## 耶51:41 “示沙克(就是巴比伦)何竟被攻取？天下所称赞的，何竟被占据？巴比伦在列国中，何竟变为荒场？ Jer 51:41 “How Babylon is taken, the praise of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!” ## 耶51:42 海水涨起，漫过巴比伦；他被许多海浪遮盖。 Jer 51:42 The sea has come up on Babylon; she is covered with its tumultuous waves. ## 耶51:43 他的城邑，变为荒场、旱地、沙漠，无人居住，无人经过之地。 Jer 51:43 “Her cities have become a horror, a land of drought and a desert, a land in which no one dwells, and through which no son of man passes.” ## 耶51:44 我必刑罚巴比伦的彼勒，使他吐出所吞的，万民必不再流归他那里。巴比伦的城墙也必坍塌了。 Jer 51:44 “And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what he has swallowed. The nations shall no longer flow to him; the wall of Babylon has fallen.” ## 耶51:45 “我的民哪，你们要从其中出去，各人拯救自己，躲避耶和华的烈怒。 Jer 51:45 “Go out of the midst of her, my people! Let every one save his life from the fierce anger of the LORD!” ## 耶51:46 你们不要心惊胆怯，也不要因境内所听见的风声惧怕；因为这年有风声传来，那年也有风声传来，境内有强暴的事，官长攻击官长。 Jer 51:46 “Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful at the report heard in the land, when a report comes in one year and afterward a report in another year, and violence is in the land, and ruler is against ruler.” ## 耶51:47 日子将到，我必刑罚巴比伦雕刻的偶像。他全地必然抱愧，他被杀的人必在其中仆倒。 Jer 51:47 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the images of Babylon; her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.” ## 耶51:48 那时，天地和其中所有的，必因巴比伦欢呼，因为行毁灭的，要从北方来到他那里。这是耶和华说的。 Jer 51:48 “Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall sing for joy over Babylon, for the destroyers shall come against them out of the north, declares the LORD.” ## 耶51:49 巴比伦怎样使以色列被杀的人仆倒，照样他全地被杀的人，也必在巴比伦仆倒。 Jer 51:49 “Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel, just as for Babylon have fallen the slain of all the earth.” ## 耶51:50 “你们躲避刀剑的要快走，不要站住。要在远方记念耶和华，心中追想耶路撒冷。 Jer 51:50 “You who have escaped from the sword, go, do not stand still! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come into your mind:” ## 耶51:51 我们听见辱骂就蒙羞，满面惭愧，因为外邦人进入耶和华殿的圣所。” Jer 51:51 “We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; dishonor has covered our face, for foreigners have come into the holy places of the LORD’s house.’” ## 耶51:52 耶和华说：“日子将到，我必刑罚巴比伦雕刻的偶像，通国受伤的人必唉哼。 Jer 51:52 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will execute judgment upon her images, and through all her land the wounded shall groan.” ## 耶51:53 巴比伦虽升到天上，虽使他坚固的高处更坚固，还有行毁灭的，从我这里到他那里。这是耶和华说的。 Jer 51:53 “Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify her strong height, yet destroyers would come from me against her, declares the LORD.” ## 耶51:54 “有哀号的声音从巴比伦出来；有大毁灭的响声从迦勒底人之地发出。 Jer 51:54 A voice! A cry from Babylon! The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! ## 耶51:55 因耶和华使巴比伦变为荒场，使其中的大声灭绝。仇敌仿佛众水波浪砰訇，响声已经发出。 Jer 51:55 “For the LORD is laying Babylon waste and stilling her mighty voice. Their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is raised,” ## 耶51:56 这是行毁灭的临到巴比伦。巴比伦的勇士被捉住，他们的弓折断了，因为耶和华是施行报应的神，必定施行报应。” Jer 51:56 “for a destroyer has come upon her, upon Babylon; her warriors are taken; their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of recompense; he will surely repay.” ## 耶51:57 君王，名为万军之耶和华的，说：“我必使巴比伦的首领、智慧人、省长、副省长和勇士，都沉醉，使他们睡了长觉，永不醒起。 Jer 51:57 “I will make drunk her officials and her wise men, her governors, her commanders, and her warriors; they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.” ## 耶51:58 万军之耶和华如此说：巴比伦宽阔的城墙必全然倾倒；他高大的城门，必被火焚烧；众民所劳碌的必致虚空，列国所劳碌的被火焚烧；他们都必困乏。” Jer 51:58 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: The broad wall of Babylon shall be leveled to the ground, and her high gates shall be burned with fire. The peoples labor for nothing, and the nations weary themselves only for fire.” ## 耶51:59 犹大王西底家在位第四年，上巴比伦去的时候，玛西雅的孙子尼利亚的儿子西莱雅与王同去(西莱雅是王宫的大臣)，先知耶利米有话吩咐他。 Jer 51:59 “The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. Seraiah was the quartermaster.” ## 耶51:60 耶利米将一切要临到巴比伦的灾祸，就是论到巴比伦的一切话，写在书上。 Jer 51:60 “Jeremiah wrote in a book all the disaster that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.” ## 耶51:61 耶利米对西莱雅说：“你到了巴比伦务要念这书上的话。 Jer 51:61 “And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words,” ## 耶51:62 又说：‘耶和华啊！你曾论到这地方说：要剪除，甚至连人带牲畜没有在这里居住的，必永远荒凉。’ Jer 51:62 “and say, ‘O LORD, you have said concerning this place that you will cut it off, so that nothing shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, and it shall be desolate forever.’” ## 耶51:63 你念完了这书，就把一块石头拴在书上，扔在伯拉河中， Jer 51:63 “When you finish reading this book, tie a stone to it and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates,” ## 耶51:64 说：‘巴比伦因耶和华所要降与他的灾祸，必如此沉下去，不再兴起，人民也必困乏。’”　耶利米的话到此为止。 Jer 51:64 “and say, ‘Thus shall Babylon sink, to rise no more, because of the disaster that I am bringing upon her, and they shall become exhausted.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.”
