¹再审判巴比伦

¹Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb — My withstanders, A destroying wind,

²我必打发外族人去巴比伦簸扬它，扬净它的地；在它遭祸的日子，他们必从四围攻击它。

²And I have sent to Babylon fanners, And they have fanned it, and they empty its land, For they have been against it, Round about — in the day of evil.

³不要容拉弓的拉他的弓，也不要容战士穿上盔甲站起来；不要顾惜巴比伦的年轻人，要把它的全军灭绝。

³Let not the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have ye pity on her young men, Devote ye to destruction all her host.

⁴它的全军必在迦勒底人的地被杀倒下，在它的街道上被刺死。”

⁴And fallen have the wounded in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-through in her streets.

⁵虽然以色列和犹大境内（“以色列和犹大境内”或译：“巴比伦境内”）充满了违背以色列圣者的罪恶，以色列和犹大却不会被他们的　神万军之耶和华遗弃。

⁵For, not forsaken is Israel and Judah, By its God — by Jehovah of Hosts, For their land hath been full of guilt, Against the Holy One of Israel.

⁶你仍要从巴比伦境内逃出来，各自逃命！不要因它的罪孽灭亡；因为这是耶和华报复的时候，他必向巴比伦施行应得的报应。

⁶Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, And deliver ye each his soul, Be not cut off in its iniquity, For a time of vengeance it [is] to Jehovah, Recompence He is rendering to her.

⁷巴比伦曾是耶和华手中的金杯，使全地都喝醉；列国喝了它的酒，就都疯狂乱性。

⁷A golden cup [is] Babylon in the hand of Jehovah, Making drunk all the earth, Of its wine drunk have nations, Therefore boast themselves do nations.

⁸巴比伦必突然倾覆毁灭，你们要为它哀号！拿乳香来消除它的痛楚，也许可以治好它。

⁸Suddenly hath Babylon fallen, Yea, it is broken, howl ye for it, Take balm for her pain, if so be it may be healed.

⁹我们本想医治巴比伦，但它没有治好。我们离开它，各归本地去吧！因为它的刑罚极大，上达于天，直到云霄。

⁹We healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For come unto the heavens hath its judgment, And it hath been lifted up unto the clouds.

¹⁰耶和华已为我们伸冤；来吧！我们要在锡安宣扬耶和华我们　神的作为。

¹⁰Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.

¹¹你们要磨尖箭头，拿起盾牌（“拿起盾牌”《七十士译本》译作“装满箭袋”）；耶和华定意要毁灭巴比伦，所以激动玛代诸王的心；这是耶和华的报复，就是为他的殿而施行的报复。

¹¹Cleanse ye the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up hath Jehovah the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon His device [is] to destroy it, For the vengeance of Jehovah it [is], The vengeance of His temple.

¹²你们要竖起旗帜，攻击巴比伦的城墙，并要加强防卫，设立防哨，布下埋伏；因为耶和华不但定意，也必作成他攻击巴比伦居民的话。

¹²Unto the walls of Babylon lift up an ensign, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For Jehovah hath both devised and done that which He spake, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

¹³你这住在众水旁，多有财宝的啊！你的结局到了，你被剪除的时刻到了。

¹³O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Come in hath thine end, the measure of thy dishonest gain.

¹⁴万军之耶和华指着自己起誓，说：“我必使敌人充满你，像蝗虫一样布满你的全地，他们必对你发出胜利的吶喊。”

¹⁴Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts by Himself, That, Surely I have filled thee [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against thee — shouting.

¹⁵耶和华用自己的能力创造了大地，用自己的智慧坚立了世界，又用自己的聪明展开了诸天。

¹⁵The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,

¹⁶他一发声，空中诸水就澎湃；他使云雾从地极上腾；他造了闪电和雷雨，又使风从他的仓库里吹出来。

¹⁶At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth out wind from His treasures.

¹⁷人人都是顽梗无知；所有的金匠都因偶像羞愧，因为他们铸造的像都是虚假，没有气息。

¹⁷Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image, And there is no breath in them.

¹⁸偶像都是虚无的，是荒谬可笑的作品；到了讨罪的时候，它们必被除灭。

¹⁸Vanity [are] they — work of errors, In the time of their inspection they perish.

¹⁹那作雅各产业的并不像这些偶像，因为他是万物的创造者；以色列是属他的民族，万军之耶和华是他的名。

¹⁹Not like these [is] the portion of Jacob, For He [is] former of all things, And [Israel is] the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

²⁰耶和华说：“你是我的铁锤，作我的兵器；我用你们打碎列国，用你毁灭万邦。

²⁰An axe [art] thou to me — weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces by thee nations, And I have destroyed by thee kingdoms,

²¹我用你打碎战马和骑马的，用你打碎战车和坐战车的。

²¹And I have broken in pieces by thee horse and its rider, And I have broken in pieces by thee chariot and its charioteer,

²²我用你打碎男人和妇女，用你打碎老年人和少年人，用你打碎少男和少女。

²²And I have broken in pieces by thee man and woman, And I have broken in pieces by thee old and young, And I have broken in pieces by thee young man and virgin,

²³我用你打碎牧人和他的羊群，用你打碎农夫和他的耕牛，用你打碎省长和总监。

²³And I have broken in pieces by thee shepherd and his drove, And I have broken in pieces by thee husbandman and his team, And I have broken in pieces by thee governors and prefects.

²⁴“但我必在你们眼前报复巴比伦和迦勒底所有的居民在锡安所作的一切恶事。”这是耶和华的宣告。

²⁴And I have recompensed to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes — an affirmation of Jehovah.

²⁵“行毁灭的山哪，就是毁灭全地的山哪！我要和你作对，我要伸手攻击你，使你从山岩上滚下来，使你成为烧毁了的山。”这是耶和华的宣告。

²⁵Lo, I [am] against thee, O destroying mount, An affirmation of Jehovah, That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I have rolled thee from the rocks, And given thee for a burnt mountain.

²⁶“人必不从你那里取石头作房角石，也不从你那里取石头作基石，因为你必永远荒凉。”这是耶和华的宣告。

²⁶And they take not out of thee a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For desolations age-during art thou, An affirmation of Jehovah.

²⁷“你们要在地上竖起旗帜，在列国中吹号角，使列国作好准备攻击巴比伦，把亚拉腊、米尼、亚实基拿等国召来攻击她，又指派元帅来攻击她，使马匹像蝗虫汹涌上来。

²⁷Lift ye up an ensign in the land, Blow a trumpet among nations, Sanctify against it nations, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint against it an infant head, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.

²⁸你们要使列国作好准备攻击她，使玛代诸王，和她的省长、总监，以及他们辖下各地的人民都作好准备攻击她。

²⁸Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its dominion.

²⁹大地震动翻腾，因为耶和华攻击巴比伦所定的旨意立定不移，要使巴比伦的地荒凉，没有人居住。

²⁹And shake doth the land, and it is pained, For stood against Babylon have the purposes of Jehovah, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.

³⁰巴比伦的勇士停止作战，留在堡垒里面；他们的勇士消退，变成像妇人一样软弱。巴比伦的房屋被火焚烧，她的门闩都被折断。

³⁰Ceased have the mighty of Babylon to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Failed hath their might, they have become woman, They have burnt her tabernacles, Broken have been her bars.

³¹驿卒一个接一个跑来，报信的也相继而至，向巴比伦王报告，他的京城已经完全被攻取了。

³¹Runner to meet runner doth run, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For, captured hath been his city — at the extremity.

³²渡口已经被占据了，生满芦苇的沼泽也被火烧了，军兵都惊慌失措。”

³²And the passages have been captured, And the reeds they have burnt with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.

³³因为万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：“巴比伦城（“城”原文作“女子”）好像正被踹平的禾场，再过片时，她被收割的时候就到了。”

³³For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing — yet a little, And come hath the time of her harvest.

³⁴以色列人说：“巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒吞灭了我们，使我们十分混乱，又使我们成为空的器皿；他像怪兽把我们吞下，他的肚塞满了我们的美物，他却把我们吐出去。”

³⁴Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, He hath set us [as] an empty vessel, He hath swallowed us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He hath driven us away.

³⁵锡安的居民要说：“愿巴比伦以强暴待我们（“我们”或译：“我和我骨肉之亲”）的罪归到巴比伦身上。”耶路撒冷要说：“愿流我血的罪归到迦勒底的居民身上。”

³⁵My wrong, and [that of] my flesh [is] on Babylon, Say doth the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem.

³⁶因此，耶和华这样说：“看哪！我必为你的案件申诉，为你报仇；我必使巴比伦的河水枯竭，使它们的水源干涸。

³⁶Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.

³⁷巴比伦必变成乱堆，成为野狗的巢穴，成为令人惊骇和嗤笑的对象，没有人居住。

³⁷And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.

³⁸巴比伦人必像少壮狮子一起吼叫，又像幼狮咆哮。

³⁸Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions` whelps.

³⁹他们食欲大动的时候，我必为他们摆设筵席，使他们喝醉，狂欢乱叫，然后永远沉睡，不再醒来（这是耶和华的宣告）。

³⁹In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep age-during, And awake not — an affirmation of Jehovah.

⁴⁰我必使他们像羊羔，像公绵羊和公山羊一样下到屠宰之地。

⁴⁰I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with he-goats.

⁴¹示沙克怎么竟被攻取！全地所称赞的怎么竟被占领！巴比伦在列国中怎么竟成了令人惊骇的对象！

⁴¹How hath Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise of the whole earth, How hath Babylon been for an astonishment among nations.

⁴²大海上涨漫过巴比伦，它被汹涌的波浪淹没。

⁴²Come up against Babylon hath the sea, With a multitude of its billows it hath been covered.

⁴³它的城镇变为荒凉，成为干旱的地和沙漠，没有人住在里面，也没有人经过。

⁴³Its cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land — none doth dwell in them, Nor pass over into them doth a son of man.

⁴⁴我必惩罚巴比伦的彼勒，使它从口中吐出它所吞噬的；列国必不再归附它，巴比伦的城墙也倒塌了。

⁴⁴And I have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed — from his mouth, And flow no more unto him do nations, Also the wall of Babylon hath fallen.

⁴⁵我的子民哪！你们要从它那里出来，各自逃命，躲避耶和华的烈怒。

⁴⁵Go forth from its midst, O My people, And deliver ye, each his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah,

⁴⁶你们不要心惊胆怯，也不要因在境内听到的谣言惧怕；因为今年有谣言传来，明年也会有谣言传来，境内有强暴的事，官长互相攻击。

⁴⁶And lest your heart be tender, And ye be afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And come in a year hath the report, And after it in a year the report, And violence [is] in the land, ruler against ruler;

⁴⁷因此，你看，日子快到，我必惩罚巴比伦的偶像；巴比伦全地都必蒙羞，所有被刺杀的人都必倒在境内。

⁴⁷Therefore, lo, days are coming, And I have seen after the graven images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones do fall in its midst.

⁴⁸那时天地和其中的一切，都必因巴比伦的倾覆欢呼，因为行毁灭的要从北方来攻击她。”这是耶和华的宣告。

⁴⁸And cried aloud against Babylon Have heavens and earth, and all that [is] in them, For, from the north come to it do the spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁴⁹“巴比伦必因以色列被刺杀的人而倒下，就如全地被刺杀的人因巴比伦而倒下。

⁴⁹Even Babylon [is] to fall, ye pierced of Israel, Even they of Babylon have fallen, Ye pierced of all the earth.

⁵⁰那些已逃脱了刀剑的人哪！走吧！不要站着，要从远方记念耶和华，心中惦念耶路撒冷。

⁵⁰Ye escaped of the sword, go on, stand not, Remember ye from afar Jehovah, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.

⁵¹我们因听见辱骂而蒙羞，满面惭愧；因为外族人进入了耶和华殿的圣所。

⁵¹We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Covered hath shame our faces, For come in have strangers, against the sanctuaries of the house of Jehovah.

⁵²因此，看哪！日子快到，这是耶和华的宣告。我必惩罚巴比伦的偶像，在巴比伦全境到处都有被刺伤的人在唉哼。

⁵²Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have seen after its graven images, And in all its land groan doth the wounded.

⁵³即使巴比伦升到天上，即使它在高处建造难以进侵的堡垒，但必有行毁灭的从我这里去攻击它。”这是耶和华的宣告。

⁵³Because Babylon goeth up to the heavens, And because it fenceth the high place of its strength, From Me come into it do spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁵⁴“听啊！有哀号的声音从巴比伦传出，有大毁灭的声音从迦勒底人的地发出。

⁵⁴A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.

⁵⁵因为耶和华正在毁灭巴比伦，使城中喧闹的声音灭绝。敌军好像洪水，波浪澎湃，发出吶喊的声音。

⁵⁵For Jehovah is spoiling Babylon, And hath destroyed out of it a great voice, And sounded have its billows as many waters, Given forth a noise hath their voice.

⁵⁶因为有一位行毁灭的来攻击巴比伦，巴比伦的勇士被擒住，他们的弓弩折断了，因为耶和华是报应的　神，他必报复巴比伦。

⁵⁶For come in against it — against Babylon — hath a spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have been their bows, For the God of recompences — Jehovah — doth certainly repay.

⁵⁷我必使巴比伦的领袖和智慧人，省长、总监和勇士都喝醉，永远沉睡，不再醒来。”这是君王的宣告，万军之耶和华是他的名。

⁵⁷And I have caused its princes to drink, And its wise men, its governors, And its prefects, and its mighty ones, And they have slept a sleep age-during, And they awake not — an affirmation of the king, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

⁵⁸万军之耶和华这样说：“巴比伦宽阔的城墙必被夷为平地，它高大的城门必被焚烧；万民所劳碌的都必成空，万族所辛劳的都付诸一炬。”

⁵⁸Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, the wall of Babylon — The broad one — is utterly made bare, And her high gates with fire are burnt, And peoples labour in vain, And nations in fire, and have been weary!

⁵⁹耶利米的预言传到巴比伦犹大王西底家执政的第四年，玛西雅的孙子、尼利亚的儿子西莱雅和王同去巴比伦的时候，耶利米先知有话吩咐西莱雅，他是掌管住宿事务的官员。

⁵⁹The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign — and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;

⁶⁰耶利米把一切将要临到巴比伦的灾祸，就是这一切论到巴比伦的话，都写在一卷书上。

⁶⁰and Jeremiah writeth all the evil that cometh unto Babylon on one book — all these words that are written concerning Babylon.

⁶¹耶利米对西莱雅说：“你到了巴比伦以后，一定要宣读这一切话，

⁶¹And Jeremiah saith unto Seraiah, `When thou dost enter Babylon, then thou hast seen, and hast read all these words,

⁶²然后你要说：‘耶和华啊！论到这地方，你曾经亲自说过要把它剪除，使这地永远荒凉，没有人畜居住。’

⁶²and hast said: Jehovah, Thou, Thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even unto cattle, for it is a desolation age-during.

⁶³你宣读完这书卷以后，要把一块石头和书拴在一起，丢进幼发拉底河里，

⁶³And it hath come to pass, when thou dost finish reading this book, thou dost bind to it a stone, and hast cast it into the midst of Phrat,

⁶⁴然后说：‘巴比伦必因耶和华（“耶和华”原文作“我”）所要降给它的灾祸，照样沉下去，不再浮上来；它的人民也必灭没。’”耶利米的话到此为止。

⁶⁴and said, Thus sink doth Babylon, and it doth not arise, because of the evil that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.` Hitherto [are] words of Jeremiah.
