耶利米書 51

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。

yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ bì shǐ huǐ miè de fēng guā qǐ ， gōng jī bā bǐ lún hé zhù zài lì jiā mǐ de rén 。

The LORD says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.

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。

wǒ yào dǎ fā wài bāng rén lái dào bā bǐ lún ， bò yáng tā ， shǐ tā de dì kōng xū 。 zài tā zāo huò de rì zi ， tā men yào zhōu wéi gōng jī tā 。

I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her. They will empty her land; for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.

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。

lā gōng de ， yào xiàng lā gōng de hé guàn jiǎ tǐng shēn de shè jiàn 。 bú yào lián xī tā de shào nián rén ； yào miè jìn tā de quán jūn 。

Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow, also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. Don’t spare her young men! Utterly destroy all her army!

他們必在迦勒底人之地被殺仆倒， 在巴比倫的街上被刺透。

tā men bì zài jiā lè dǐ rén zhī dì bèi shā pú dǎo ， zài bā bǐ lún de jiē shàng bèi cì tòu 。

They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.

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。

yǐ sè liè hé yóu dà suī rán jìng nèi chōng mǎn wéi bèi yǐ sè liè shèng zhě de zuì ， què méi yǒu bèi tā de shén — wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá diū qì 。

For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by the LORD of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.

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。

nǐ men yào cóng bā bǐ lún zhōng táo bèn ， gè jiù zì jǐ de xìng mìng ！ bú yào xiàn zài tā de zuì niè zhōng yì tóng miè wáng ； yīn wèi zhè shì yē hé huá bào chóu de shí hòu ， tā bì xiàng bā bǐ lún shī xíng bào yìng 。

“Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Everyone save his own life! Don’t be cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of the LORD’s vengeance. He will give to her a recompense.

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。

bā bǐ lún sù lái shì yē hé huá shǒu zhōng de jīn bēi ， shǐ tiān xià chén zuì ； wàn guó hē le tā de jiǔ jiù diān kuáng le 。

Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, who made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.

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。

bā bǐ lún hū rán qīng fù huǐ huài ； yào wèi tā āi háo ； wéi zhǐ tā de téng tòng ， ná rǔ xiāng huò zhě kě yǐ zhì hǎo 。

Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may be healed.

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。

wǒ men xiǎng yī zhì bā bǐ lún ， tā què méi yǒu zhì hǎo 。 lí kāi tā ba ！ wǒ men gè rén guī huí běn guó ； yīn wèi tā shòu de shěn pàn tōng yú shàng tiān ， dá dào qióng cāng 。

“We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

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。

yē hé huá yǐ jīng zhāng xiǎn wǒ men de gōng yì 。 lái ba ！ wǒ men kě yǐ zài xī ān bào gào yē hé huá — wǒ men shén de zuò wéi 。

‘The LORD has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.’

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。

nǐ men yào mó jiān le jiàn tóu ， zhuā zhù dùn pái 。 yē hé huá dìng yì gōng jī bā bǐ lún ， jiāng tā huǐ miè ， suǒ yǐ jī dòng le mǐ dǐ yà jūn wáng de xīn ； yīn zhè shì yē hé huá bào chóu ， jiù shì wèi zì jǐ de diàn bào chóu 。

“Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.

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。

nǐ men yào shù lì dà qí ， gōng jī bā bǐ lún de chéng qiáng ； yào jiān gù liào wàng tái ， pài dìng shǒu wàng de shè xià mái fú ； yīn wèi yē hé huá zhǐ zhe bā bǐ lún jū mín suǒ shuō de huà 、 suǒ dìng de yì ， tā yǐ jīng zuò chéng 。

Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

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！

zhù zài zhòng shuǐ zhī shàng duō yǒu cái bǎo de a ， nǐ de jié jú dào le ！ nǐ tān lán zhī liáng mǎn le ！

You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.

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。

wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá zhǐ zhe zì jǐ qǐ shì shuō ： wǒ bì shǐ dí rén chōng mǎn nǐ ， xiàng mà zha yí yàng ； tā men bì nà hǎn gōng jī nǐ 。

The LORD of Armies has sworn by himself, saying, ‘Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they will lift up a shout against you.’

耶和華用能力創造大地， 用智慧建立世界， 用聰明鋪張穹蒼。

yē hé huá yòng néng lì chuàng zào dà dì ， yòng zhì huì jiàn lì shì jiè ， yòng cōng ming pū zhāng qióng cāng 。

“He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.

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。

tā yì fā shēng ， kōng zhōng biàn yǒu duō shuǐ jī dòng ； tā shǐ yún wù cóng dì jí shàng téng 。 tā zào diàn suí yǔ ér shǎn ， cóng tā fǔ kù zhōng dài chū fēng lái 。

When he utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.

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，

gè rén dōu chéng le chù lèi ， háo wú zhī shi 。 gè yín jiàng dōu yīn tā de ǒu xiàng xiū kuì ； tā suǒ zhù de ǒu xiàng běn shì xū jiǎ de ， qí zhōng bìng wú qì xī ，

“Every man has become stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image, for his molten images are falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

都是虛無的，是迷惑人的工作， 到追討的時候，必被除滅。

dōu shì xū wú de ， shì mí huò rén de gōng zuò ， dào zhuī tǎo de shí hòu ， bì bèi chú miè 。

They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.

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。

yǎ gè de fēn bú xiàng zhè xiē ， yīn tā shì zào zuò wàn yǒu de zhǔ ； yǐ sè liè yě shì tā chǎn yè de zhī pài 。 wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá shì tā de míng 。

The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.

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；

nǐ shì wǒ zhēng zhàn de fǔ zǐ hé dǎ zhàng de bīng qì ； wǒ yào yòng nǐ dǎ suì liè guó ， yòng nǐ huǐ miè liè bāng ；

“You are my battle ax and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.

用你打碎馬和騎馬的； 用你打碎戰車和坐在其上的；

yòng nǐ dǎ suì mǎ hé qí mǎ de ； yòng nǐ dǎ suì zhàn chē hé zuò zài qí shàng de ；

With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.

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；

yòng nǐ dǎ suì nán rén hé nǚ rén ； yòng nǐ dǎ suì lǎo nián rén hé shào nián rén ； yòng nǐ dǎ suì zhuàng dīng hé chǔ nǚ ；

With you I will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein. With you I will break in pieces man and woman. With you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth. With you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin.

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。

yòng nǐ dǎ suì mù rén hé tā de qún chù ； yòng nǐ dǎ suì nóng fū hé tā yí duì niú ； yòng nǐ dǎ suì shěng zhǎng hé fù shěng zhǎng 。

With you I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock. With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke. With you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.

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。」

yē hé huá shuō ：「 wǒ bì zài nǐ men yǎn qián bào fù bā bǐ lún rén hé jiā lè dǐ jū mín zài xī ān suǒ xíng de zhū è 。」

“I will give to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says the LORD.

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。

yē hé huá shuō ： nǐ zhè xíng huǐ miè de shān nǎ ， jiù shì huǐ miè tiān xià de shān ， wǒ yǔ nǐ fǎn duì 。 wǒ bì xiàng nǐ shēn shǒu ， jiāng nǐ cóng shān yán gǔn xià qù ， shǐ nǐ chéng wéi shāo huǐ de shān 。

“Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says the LORD, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned mountain.

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。

rén bì bù cóng nǐ nà lǐ qǔ shí tou wèi fáng jiǎo shí ， yě bù qǔ shí tou wèi gēn jī shí ； nǐ bì yǒng yuǎn huāng liáng 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

They won’t take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says the LORD.

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，

yào zài jìng nèi shù lì dà qí ， zài gè guó zhōng chuī jiǎo ， shǐ liè guó yù bèi gōng jī bā bǐ lún ， jiāng yà lā là 、 mǐ ní 、 yà shí jī ná gè guó zhāo lái gōng jī tā ； yòu pài jūn zhǎng lái gōng jī tā ， shǐ mǎ pǐ shàng lái rú mà zha ，

“Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations against her! Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz! Appoint a marshal against her! Cause the horses to come up as the swarming locusts!

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。

shǐ liè guó hé mǐ dǐ yà jūn wáng ， yǔ shěng zhǎng hé fù shěng zhǎng ， bìng tā men suǒ guǎn quán dì zhī rén ， dōu yù bèi gōng jī tā 。

Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!

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。

dì bì zhèn dòng ér jí kǔ ； yīn yē hé huá xiàng bā bǐ lún suǒ dìng de zhǐ yì chéng lì le ， shǐ bā bǐ lún zhī dì huāng liáng ， wú rén jū zhù 。

The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

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。

bā bǐ lún de yǒng shì zhǐ xī zhēng zhàn ， cáng zài jiān lěi zhī zhōng 。 tā men de yǒng lì shuāi jìn ， hǎo xiàng fù nǚ yí yàng 。 bā bǐ lún de zhù chù yǒu huǒ zhe qǐ ， mén shuān dōu zhé duàn le 。

The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire. Her bars are broken.

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，

pǎo bào de yào bǐ cǐ xiāng yù ， sòng xìn de yào hù xiāng yíng jiē ， bào gào bā bǐ lún wáng shuō ： chéng de sì fāng bèi gōng qǔ le ，

One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.

渡口被佔據了， 葦塘被火燒了， 兵丁也驚慌了。

dù kǒu bèi zhàn jù le ， wěi táng bèi huǒ shāo le ， bīng dīng yě jīng huāng le 。

So the passages are seized. They have burned the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”

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。

wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： bā bǐ lún chéng hǎo xiàng chuài gǔ de hé chǎng ； zài guò piàn shí ， shōu gē tā de shí hòu jiù dào le 。

For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.”

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。

yǐ sè liè rén shuō ： bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā tūn miè wǒ ， yā suì wǒ ， shǐ wǒ chéng wéi kōng xū de qì mǐn 。 tā xiàng dà yú jiāng wǒ tūn xià ， yòng wǒ de měi wù chōng mǎn tā de dù fù ， yòu jiāng wǒ gǎn chū qù 。

“Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has, like a monster, swallowed me up. He has filled his mouth with my delicacies. He has cast me out.

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。

xī ān de jū mín yào shuō ： bā bǐ lún yǐ qiáng bào dài wǒ ， sǔn hài wǒ de shēn tǐ ， yuàn zhè zuì guī gěi tā 。 yē lù sā lěng rén yào shuō ： yuàn liú wǒ men xuè de zuì guī dào jiā lè dǐ de jū mín 。

May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!” the inhabitant of Zion will say; and, “May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!” will Jerusalem say.

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。

suǒ yǐ ， yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ bì wèi nǐ shēn yuān ， wèi nǐ bào chóu ； wǒ bì shǐ bā bǐ lún de hǎi kū jié ， shǐ tā de quán yuán gān hé 。

Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.

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。

bā bǐ lún bì chéng wéi luàn duī ， wèi yě gǒu de zhù chù ， lìng rén jīng hài 、 chī xiào ， bìng qiě wú rén jū zhù 。

Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.

他們要像少壯獅子咆哮， 像小獅子吼叫。

tā men yào xiàng shào zhuàng shī zi páo xiào ， xiàng xiǎo shī zi hǒu jiào 。

They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ cubs.

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。

tā men huǒ rè de shí hòu ， wǒ bì wèi tā men shè bǎi jiǔ xí ， shǐ tā men chén zuì ， hǎo jiào tā men kuài lè ， shuì le cháng jué ， yǒng bù xǐng qǐ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the LORD.

我必使他們像羊羔、 像公綿羊和公山羊下到宰殺之地。

wǒ bì shǐ tā men xiàng yáng gāo 、 xiàng gōng mián yáng hé gōng shān yáng xià dào zǎi shā zhī dì 。

“I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.

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？

shì shā kè hé jìng bèi gōng qǔ ？ tiān xià suǒ chēng zàn de hé jìng bèi zhàn jù ？ bā bǐ lún zài liè guó zhōng hé jìng biàn wèi huāng chǎng ？

“How Sheshach is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!

海水漲起，漫過巴比倫； 她被許多海浪遮蓋。

hǎi shuǐ zhǎng qǐ ， màn guò bā bǐ lún ； tā bèi xǔ duō hǎi làng zhē gài 。

The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves.

她的城邑變為荒場、旱地、沙漠， 無人居住，無人經過之地。

tā de chéng yì biàn wèi huāng chǎng 、 hàn dì 、 shā mò ， wú rén jū zhù ， wú rén jīng guò zhī dì 。

Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.

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。

wǒ bì xíng fá bā bǐ lún de bǐ lè ， shǐ tā tǔ chū suǒ tūn de 。 wàn mín bì bú zài liú guī tā nà lǐ ； bā bǐ lún de chéng qiáng yě bì tān tā le 。

I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.

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。

wǒ de mín nǎ ， nǐ men yào cóng qí zhōng chū qù ！ gè rén zhěng jiù zì jǐ ， duǒ bì yē hé huá de liè nù 。

“My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce anger.

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。

nǐ men bú yào xīn jīng dǎn qiè ， yě bú yào yīn jìng nèi suǒ tīng jiàn de fēng shēng jù pà ； yīn wèi zhè nián yǒu fēng shēng chuán lái ； nà nián yě yǒu fēng shēng chuán lái ， jìng nèi yǒu qiáng bào de shì ， guān zhǎng gōng jī guān zhǎng 。

Don’t let your heart faint. Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land. For news will come one year, and after that in another year news will come, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.

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。

rì zi jiāng dào ， wǒ bì xíng fá bā bǐ lún diāo kè de ǒu xiàng 。 tā quán dì bì rán bào kuì ； tā bèi shā de rén bì zài qí zhōng pú dǎo 。

Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of her.

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。

nà shí ， tiān dì hé qí zhōng suǒ yǒu de ， bì yīn bā bǐ lún huān hū ， yīn wèi xíng huǐ miè de yào cóng běi fāng lái dào tā nà lǐ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says the LORD.

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。

bā bǐ lún zěn yàng shǐ yǐ sè liè bèi shā de rén pú dǎo ， zhào yàng tā quán dì bèi shā de rén yě bì zài bā bǐ lún pú dǎo 。

“As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.

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。

nǐ men duǒ bì dāo jiàn de yào kuài zǒu ， bú yào zhàn zhù ！ yào zài yuǎn fāng jì niàn yē hé huá ， xīn zhōng zhuī xiǎng yē lù sā lěng 。

You who have escaped the sword, go! Don’t stand still! Remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”

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。

wǒ men tīng jiàn rǔ mà jiù méng xiū ， mǎn miàn cán kuì ， yīn wèi wài bāng rén jìn rù yē hé huá diàn de shèng suǒ 。

“We are confounded because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.”

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。

yē hé huá shuō ： rì zi jiāng dào ， wǒ bì xíng fá bā bǐ lún diāo kè de ǒu xiàng ， tōng guó shòu shāng de rén bì ài hēng 。

“Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.

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。

bā bǐ lún suī shēng dào tiān shàng ， suī shǐ tā jiān gù de gāo chù gèng jiān gù ， hái yǒu xíng huǐ miè de cóng wǒ zhè lǐ dào tā nà lǐ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says the LORD.

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。

yǒu āi háo de shēng yīn cóng bā bǐ lún chū lái ； yǒu dà huǐ miè de xiǎng shēng cóng jiā lè dǐ rén zhī dì fā chū 。

“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!

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。

yīn yē hé huá shǐ bā bǐ lún biàn wèi huāng chǎng ， shǐ qí zhōng de dà shēng miè jué 。 chóu dí fǎng fú zhòng shuǐ ， bō làng pēng hōng ， xiǎng shēng yǐ jīng fā chū 。

For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.

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。

zhè shì xíng huǐ miè de lín dào bā bǐ lún 。 bā bǐ lún de yǒng shì bèi zhuō zhù ， tā men de gōng zhé duàn le ； yīn wèi yē hé huá shì shī xíng bào yìng de shén ， bì dìng shī xíng bào yìng 。
