51:2 我要打发外邦人来到巴比伦，簸扬她，使她的地空虚。在她遭祸的日子，他们要周围攻击她。
And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
51:3 拉弓的，要向拉弓的和贯甲挺身的射箭。不要怜惜她的少年人。要灭尽她的全军。

51:7 巴比伦素来是耶和华手中的金杯，使天下沉醉。万国喝了她的酒就颠狂了。
Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
51:8 巴比伦忽然倾覆毁坏。要为她哀号。为止她的疼痛，拿乳香或者可以治好。
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
51:9 我们想医治巴比伦，她却没有治好。离开她吧。我们各人归回本国。因为她受的审判通于上天，达到穹苍。

The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
51:11 你们要磨尖了箭头，抓住盾牌。耶和华定意攻击巴比伦，将她毁灭，所以激动了米底亚君王的心。因这是耶和华报仇，就是为自己的殿报仇。

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
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。
When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
51:19 雅各的分不像这些，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。

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她。又派军长来攻击她，使马匹上来如蚂蚱，
Set ye 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 Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
51:28 使列国和米底亚君王，与省长和副省长，并他们所管全地之人，都预备攻击她。
Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
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。
And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
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，好像妇女一样。巴比伦的住处有火着起，门闩都折断了。
The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
51:31 通报的要彼此相遇，送信的要互相迎接，报告巴比伦王说，城的四方被攻取了，

51:35 锡安的居民要说，巴比伦以强暴待我，损害我的身体，愿这罪归给她。耶路撒冷人要说，愿流我们血的罪归到迦勒底的居民。
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
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，使她的泉源乾涸。
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
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。

They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
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。

The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
51:43 她的城邑变为荒场，旱地，沙漠，无人居住，无人经过之地。
Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
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。

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她那里。这是耶和华说的。
Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.
51:49 巴比伦怎样使以色列被杀的人仆倒，照样她全地被杀的人也必在巴比伦仆倒。
As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
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。

51:53 巴比伦虽升到天上，虽使她坚固的高处更坚固，还有行毁灭的从我这里到她那里。这是耶和华说的。
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.
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。
A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
51:55 因耶和华使巴比伦变为荒场，使其中的大声灭绝。仇敌彷佛众水，波浪？？訇，响声已经发出。
Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
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。
Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.
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。
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
51:58 万军之耶和华如此说，巴比伦宽阔的城墙必全然倾倒。她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。
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.

The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.

51:61 耶利米对西莱雅说，你到了巴比伦务要念这书上的话。
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
51:62 又说，耶和华阿，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。
Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
51:63 你念完了这书，就把一块石头拴在书上，扔在幼发拉底河中。
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
51:64 说，巴比伦因耶和华所要降与她的灾祸，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。
And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
