Jeremiah 7

耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

yē hé huá de huà lín dào yē lì mǐ shuō ：

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

「你当站在耶和华殿的门口，在那里宣传这话说：你们进这些门敬拜耶和华的一切犹大人，当听耶和华的话。

「 nǐ dāng zhàn zài yē hé huá diàn de mén kǒu ， zài nà lǐ xuān chuán zhè huà shuō ： nǐ men jìn zhè xiē mén jìng bài yē hé huá de yí qiè yóu dà rén ， dāng tīng yē hé huá de huà 。

“Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear the LORD’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.’”

万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：你们改正行动作为，我就使你们在这地方仍然居住。

wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ men gǎi zhèng xíng dòng zuò wéi ， wǒ jiù shǐ nǐ men zài zhè dì fāng réng rán jū zhù 。

The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

你们不要倚靠虚谎的话，说：『这些是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿！』

nǐ men bú yào yǐ kào xū huǎng de huà ， shuō ：『 zhè xiē shì yē hé huá de diàn ， shì yē hé huá de diàn ， shì yē hé huá de diàn ！』

Don’t trust in lying words, saying, ‘The LORD’s temple, the LORD’s temple, the LORD’s temple, are these.’

「你们若实在改正行动作为，在人和邻舍中间诚然施行公平，

「 nǐ men ruò shí zài gǎi zhèng xíng dòng zuò wéi ， zài rén hé lín shè zhōng jiān chéng rán shī xíng gōng píng ，

For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

不欺压寄居的和孤儿寡妇，在这地方不流无辜人的血，也不随从别神陷害自己，

bù qī yā jì jū de hé gū ér guǎ fù ， zài zhè dì fāng bù liú wú gū rén de xuè ， yě bù suí cóng bié shén xiàn hài zì jǐ ，

if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt,

我就使你们在这地方仍然居住，就是我古时所赐给你们列祖的地，直到永远。

wǒ jiù shǐ nǐ men zài zhè dì fāng réng rán jū zhù ， jiù shì wǒ gǔ shí suǒ cì gěi nǐ men liè zǔ de dì ， zhí dào yǒng yuǎn 。

then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.

「看哪，你们倚靠虚谎无益的话。

「 kàn nǎ ， nǐ men yǐ kào xū huǎng wú yì de huà 。

Behold, you trust in lying words that can’t profit.

你们偷盗，杀害，奸淫，起假誓，向巴力烧香，并随从素不认识的别神，

nǐ men tōu dào ， shā hài ， jiān yín ， qǐ jiǎ shì ， xiàng bā lì shāo xiāng ， bìng suí cóng sù bú rèn shi de bié shén ，

Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,

且来到这称为我名下的殿，在我面前敬拜；又说：『我们可以自由了。』你们这样的举动是要行那些可憎的事吗？

qiě lái dào zhè chēng wéi wǒ míng xià de diàn ， zài wǒ miàn qián jìng bài ； yòu shuō ：『 wǒ men kě yǐ zì yóu le 。』 nǐ men zhè yàng de jǔ dòng shì yào xíng nà xiē kě zēng de shì ma ？

then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered,’ that you may do all these abominations?

这称为我名下的殿在你们眼中岂可看为贼窝吗？我都看见了。这是耶和华说的。

zhè chēng wéi wǒ míng xià de diàn zài nǐ men yǎn zhōng qǐ kě kàn wèi zéi wō ma ？ wǒ dōu kàn jiàn le 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it,” says the LORD.

你们且往示罗去，就是我先前立为我名的居所，察看我因这百姓以色列的罪恶向那地所行的如何。」

nǐ men qiě wǎng shì luó qù ， jiù shì wǒ xiān qián lì wèi wǒ míng de jū suǒ ， chá kàn wǒ yīn zhè bǎi xìng yǐ sè liè de zuì è xiàng nà dì suǒ xíng de rú hé 。」

“But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

耶和华说：「现在因你们行了这一切的事，我也从早起来警戒你们，你们却不听从；呼唤你们，你们却不答应。

yē hé huá shuō ：「 xiàn zài yīn nǐ men xíng le zhè yí qiè de shì ， wǒ yě cóng zǎo qǐ lái jǐng jiè nǐ men ， nǐ men què bù tīng cóng ； hū huàn nǐ men ， nǐ men què bù dā ying 。

Now, because you have done all these works,” says the LORD, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer;

所以我要向这称为我名下、你们所倚靠的殿，与我所赐给你们和你们列祖的地施行，照我从前向示罗所行的一样。

suǒ yǐ wǒ yào xiàng zhè chēng wéi wǒ míng xià 、 nǐ men suǒ yǐ kào de diàn ， yǔ wǒ suǒ cì gěi nǐ men hé nǐ men liè zǔ de dì shī xíng ， zhào wǒ cóng qián xiàng shì luó suǒ xíng de yí yàng 。

therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

我必将你们从我眼前赶出，正如赶出你们的众弟兄，就是以法莲的一切后裔。」

wǒ bì jiāng nǐ men cóng wǒ yǎn qián gǎn chū ， zhèng rú gǎn chū nǐ men de zhòng dì xiong ， jiù shì yǐ fǎ lián de yí qiè hòu yì 。」

I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole offspring of Ephraim.

「所以，你不要为这百姓祈祷；不要为他们呼求祷告；也不要向我为他们祈求，因我不听允你。

「 suǒ yǐ ， nǐ bú yào wèi zhè bǎi xìng qí dǎo ； bú yào wèi tā men hū qiú dǎo gào ； yě bú yào xiàng wǒ wèi tā men qí qiú ， yīn wǒ bù tīng yǔn nǐ 。

“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up a cry or prayer for them or make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.

他们在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上所行的，你没有看见吗？

tā men zài yóu dài chéng yì zhōng hé yē lù sā lěng jiē shàng suǒ xíng de ， nǐ méi yǒu kàn jiàn ma ？

Don’t you see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

孩子捡柴，父亲烧火，妇女抟面做饼，献给天后，又向别神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。」

hái zi jiǎn chái ， fù qīn shāo huǒ ， fù nǚ tuán miàn zuò bǐng ， xiàn gěi tiān hòu ， yòu xiàng bié shén jiāo diàn jì ， rě wǒ fā nù 。」

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

耶和华说：「他们岂是惹我发怒呢？不是自己惹祸，以致脸上惭愧吗？」

yē hé huá shuō ：「 tā men qǐ shì rě wǒ fā nù ne ？ bú shì zì jǐ rě huò ， yǐ zhì liǎn shàng cán kuì ma ？」

Do they provoke me to anger?” says the LORD. “Don’t they provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?”

所以主耶和华如此说：「看哪，我必将我的怒气和忿怒倾在这地方的人和牲畜身上，并田野的树木和地里的出产上，必如火着起，不能熄灭。」

suǒ yǐ zhǔ yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：「 kàn nǎ ， wǒ bì jiāng wǒ de nù qì hé fèn nù qīng zài zhè dì fāng de rén hé shēng chù shēn shàng ， bìng tián yě de shù mù hé dì lǐ de chū chǎn shàng ， bì rú huǒ zhe qǐ ， bù néng xī miè 。」

Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man, on animal, on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and will not be quenched.”

万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：「你们将燔祭加在平安祭上，吃肉吧！

wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ：「 nǐ men jiāng fán jì jiā zài píng ān jì shàng ， chī ròu ba ！

The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.

因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日，燔祭平安祭的事我并没有提说，也没有吩咐他们。

yīn wèi wǒ jiāng nǐ men liè zǔ cóng āi jí dì lǐng chū lái de nà rì ， fán jì píng ān jì de shì wǒ bìng méi yǒu tí shuō ， yě méi yǒu fēn fù tā men 。

For I didn’t speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices;

我只吩咐他们这一件说：『你们当听从我的话，我就作你们的 神，你们也作我的子民。你们行我所吩咐的一切道，就可以得福。』

wǒ zhī fēn fù tā men zhè yí jiàn shuō ：『 nǐ men dāng tīng cóng wǒ de huà ， wǒ jiù zuò nǐ men de shén ， nǐ men yě zuò wǒ de zǐ mín 。 nǐ men xíng wǒ suǒ fēn fù de yí qiè dào ， jiù kě yǐ dé fú 。』

but this thing I commanded them, saying, ‘Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’

他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟随从自己的计谋和顽梗的恶心，向后不向前。

tā men què bù tīng cóng ， bú cè ěr ér tīng ， jìng suí cóng zì jǐ de jì móu hé wán gěng de ě xīn ， xiàng hòu bú xiàng qián 。

But they didn’t listen or turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

自从你们列祖出埃及地的那日，直到今日，我差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去，每日从早起来差遣他们。

zì cóng nǐ men liè zǔ chū āi jí dì de nà rì ， zhí dào jīn rì ， wǒ chà qiǎn wǒ de pú rén zhòng xiān zhī dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù ， měi rì cóng zǎo qǐ lái chāi qiǎn tā men 。

Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.

你们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项行恶，比你们列祖更甚。

nǐ men què bù tīng cóng ， bú cè ěr ér tīng ， jìng yìng zhe jǐng xiàng xíng è ， bǐ nǐ men liè zǔ gèng shèn 。

Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.

「你要将这一切的话告诉他们，他们却不听从；呼唤他们，他们却不答应。

「 nǐ yào jiāng zhè yí qiè de huà gào sù tā men ， tā men què bù tīng cóng ； hū huàn tā men ， tā men què bù dā ying 。

“You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

你要对他们说：这就是不听从耶和华—他们 神的话、不受教训的国民；从他们的口中，诚实灭绝了。」

nǐ yào duì tā men shuō ： zhè jiù shì bù tīng cóng yē hé huá — tā men shén de huà 、 bú shòu jiào xùn de guó mín ； cóng tā men de kǒu zhōng ， chéng shí miè jué le 。」

You shall tell them, ‘This is the nation that has not listened to the LORD their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’

耶路撒冷啊，要剪发抛弃， 在净光的高处举哀； 因为耶和华丢掉离弃了惹他忿怒的世代。

yē lù sā lěng a ， yào jiǎn fà pāo qì ， zài jìng guāng de gāo chù jǔ āi ； yīn wèi yē hé huá diū diào lí qì le rě tā fèn nù de shì dài 。

Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

耶和华说：「犹大人行我眼中看为恶的事，将可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中，污秽这殿。

yē hé huá shuō ：「 yóu dà rén xíng wǒ yǎn zhōng kàn wèi è de shì ， jiāng kě zēng zhī wù shè lì zài chēng wéi wǒ míng xià de diàn zhōng ， wū huì zhè diàn 。

“For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight,” says the LORD. “They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

他们在欣嫩子谷建筑陀斐特的邱坛，好在火中焚烧自己的儿女。这并不是我所吩咐的，也不是我心所起的意。」

tā men zài xīn nèn zǐ gǔ jiàn zhù tuó fěi tè de qiū tán ， hǎo zài huǒ zhōng fén shāo zì jǐ de ér nǚ 。 zhè bìng bú shì wǒ suǒ fēn fù de ， yě bú shì wǒ xīn suǒ qǐ de yì 。」

They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I didn’t command, nor did it come into my mind.

耶和华说：「因此，日子将到，这地方不再称为陀斐特和欣嫩子谷，反倒称为杀戮谷。因为要在陀斐特葬埋尸首，甚至无处可葬；

yē hé huá shuō ：「 yīn cǐ ， rì zi jiāng dào ， zhè dì fāng bú zài chēng wéi tuó fěi tè hé xīn nèn zǐ gǔ ， fǎn dǎo chēng wèi shā lù gǔ 。 yīn wèi yào zài tuó fěi tè zàng mái shī shǒu ， shèn zhì wú chù kě zàng ；

Therefore behold, the days come”, says the LORD, “that it will no more be called ‘Topheth’ or ‘The valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’; for they will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.

并且这百姓的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物，并无人哄赶。

bìng qiě zhè bǎi xìng de shī shǒu bì gěi kōng zhōng de fēi niǎo hé dì shàng de yě shòu zuò shí wù ， bìng wú rén hǒng gǎn 。

The dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth. No one will frighten them away.

那时，我必使犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上，欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，都止息了，因为地必成为荒场。」

nà shí ， wǒ bì shǐ yóu dài chéng yì zhōng hé yē lù sā lěng jiē shàng ， huān xǐ hé kuài lè de shēng yīn ， xīn láng hé xīn fù de shēng yīn ， dōu zhǐ xī le ， yīn wèi dì bì chéng wéi huāng chǎng 。」

Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a waste.”
