Jeremiah 9
但愿我的头为水, 我的眼为泪的泉源, 我好为我百姓 中被杀的人昼夜哭泣。
dàn yuàn wǒ de tóu wèi shuǐ , wǒ de yǎn wèi lèi de quán yuán , wǒ hǎo wèi wǒ bǎi xìng zhōng bèi shā de rén zhòu yè kū qì 。
Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
惟愿我在旷野有行路人住宿之处, 使我可以离开我的民出去; 因他们都是行奸淫的, 是行诡诈的一党。
wéi yuàn wǒ zài kuàng yě yǒu xíng lù rén zhù sù zhī chù , shǐ wǒ kě yǐ lí kāi wǒ de mín chū qù ; yīn tā men dōu shì xíng jiān yín de , shì xíng guǐ zhà de yì dǎng 。
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
他们弯起舌头像弓一样, 为要说谎话。 他们在国中增长势力, 不是为行诚实, 乃是恶上加恶, 并不认识我。 这是耶和华说的。
tā men wān qǐ shé tou xiàng gōng yí yàng , wèi yào shuō huǎng huà 。 tā men zài guó zhōng zēng zhǎng shì lì , bú shì wèi xíng chéng shí , nǎi shì è shàng jiā è , bìng bú rèn shi wǒ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。
“They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says the LORD.
你们各人当谨防邻舍, 不可信靠弟兄; 因为弟兄尽行欺骗, 邻舍都往来谗谤人。
nǐ men gè rén dāng jǐn fáng lín shè , bù kě xìn kào dì xiong ; yīn wèi dì xiong jìn xíng qī piàn , lín shè dōu wǎng lái chán bàng rén 。
“Everyone beware of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go around like a slanderer.
他们各人欺哄邻舍,不说真话; 他们教舌头学习说谎, 劳劳碌碌地作孽。
tā men gè rén qī hǒng lín shè , bù shuō zhēn huà ; tā men jiào shé tou xué xí shuō huǎng , láo láo lù lù dì zuò niè 。
Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
你的住处在诡诈的人中; 他们因行诡诈,不肯认识我。 这是耶和华说的。
nǐ de zhù chù zài guǐ zhà de rén zhōng ; tā men yīn xíng guǐ zhà , bù kěn rèn shi wǒ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。
Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says the LORD.
所以万军之耶和华如此说: 看哪,我要将他们熔化熬炼; 不然,我因我百姓的罪该怎样行呢?
suǒ yǐ wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō : kàn nǎ , wǒ yào jiāng tā men róng huà áo liàn ; bù rán , wǒ yīn wǒ bǎi xìng de zuì gāi zěn yàng xíng ne ?
Therefore the LORD of Armies says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
他们的舌头是毒箭,说话诡诈; 人与邻舍口说和平话, 心却谋害他。
tā men de shé tou shì dú jiàn , shuō huà guǐ zhà ; rén yǔ lín shè kǒu shuō hé píng huà , xīn què móu hài tā 。
Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
耶和华说:我岂不因这些事讨他们的罪呢? 岂不报复这样的国民呢?
yē hé huá shuō : wǒ qǐ bù yīn zhè xiē shì tǎo tā men de zuì ne ? qǐ bú bào fù zhè yàng de guó mín ne ?
Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
我要为山岭哭泣悲哀, 为旷野的草场扬声哀号; 因为都已干焦,甚至无人经过。 人也听不见牲畜鸣叫, 空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽都已逃去。
wǒ yào wèi shān lǐng kū qì bēi āi , wèi kuàng yě de cǎo chǎng yáng shēng āi háo ; yīn wèi dōu yǐ gān jiāo , shèn zhì wú rén jīng guò 。 rén yě tīng bú jiàn shēng chù míng jiào , kōng zhōng de fēi niǎo hé dì shàng de yě shòu dōu yǐ táo qù 。
I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.
我必使耶路撒冷变为乱堆,为野狗的住处, 也必使犹大的城邑变为荒场,无人居住。
wǒ bì shǐ yē lù sā lěng biàn wèi luàn duī , wèi yě gǒu de zhù chù , yě bì shǐ yóu dà de chéng yì biàn wèi huāng chǎng , wú rén jū zhù 。
“I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
谁是智慧人,可以明白这事?耶和华的口向谁说过,使他可以传说?遍地为何灭亡,干焦好像旷野,甚至无人经过呢?
shuí shì zhì huì rén , kě yǐ míng bái zhè shì ? yē hé huá de kǒu xiàng shuí shuō guò , shǐ tā kě yǐ chuán shuō ? biàn dì wèi hé miè wáng , gān jiāo hǎo xiàng kuàng yě , shèn zhì wú rén jīng guò ne ?
Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
耶和华说:「因为这百姓离弃我在他们面前所设立的律法,没有遵行,也没有听从我的话;
yē hé huá shuō :「 yīn wèi zhè bǎi xìng lí qì wǒ zài tā men miàn qián suǒ shè lì de lǜ fǎ , méi yǒu zūn xíng , yě méi yǒu tīng cóng wǒ de huà ;
The LORD says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
只随从自己顽梗的心行事,照他们列祖所教训的随从众巴力。」
zhī suí cóng zì jǐ wán gěng de xīn xíng shì , zhào tā men liè zǔ suǒ jiào xùn de suí cóng zhòng bā lì 。」
but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
所以万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:「看哪,我必将茵 给这百姓吃,又将苦胆水给他们喝。
suǒ yǐ wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō :「 kàn nǎ , wǒ bì jiāng yīn gěi zhè bǎi xìng chī , yòu jiāng kǔ dǎn shuǐ gěi tā men hē 。
Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
我要把他们散在列邦中,就是他们和他们列祖素不认识的列邦。我也要使刀剑追杀他们,直到将他们灭尽。」
wǒ yào bǎ tā men sàn zài liè bāng zhōng , jiù shì tā men hé tā men liè zǔ sù bú rèn shí de liè bāng 。 wǒ yě yào shǐ dāo jiàn zhuī shā tā men , zhí dào jiāng tā men miè jìn 。」
I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
万军之耶和华如此说: 你们应当思想, 将善唱哀歌的妇女召来, 又打发人召善哭的妇女来,
wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō : nǐ men yīng dāng sī xiǎng , jiāng shàn chàng āi gē de fù nǚ zhào lái , yòu dǎ fā rén zhào shàn kū de fù nǚ lái ,
The LORD of Armies says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skillful women, that they may come.
叫她们速速为我们举哀, 使我们眼泪汪汪, 使我们的眼皮涌出水来。
jiào tā men sù sù wèi wǒ men jǔ āi , shǐ wǒ men yǎn lèi wāng wāng , shǐ wǒ men de yǎn pí yǒng chū shuǐ lái 。
Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush out with waters.
因为听见哀声出于锡安,说: 我们怎样败落了! 我们大大地惭愧! 我们撇下地土; 人也拆毁了我们的房屋。
yīn wèi tīng jiàn āi shēng chū yú xī ān , shuō : wǒ men zěn yàng bài luò le ! wǒ men dà dà dì cán kuì ! wǒ men piě xià dì tǔ ; rén yě chāi huǐ le wǒ men de fáng wū 。
For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, ‘How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
妇女们哪,你们当听耶和华的话, 领受他口中的言语; 又当教导你们的儿女举哀, 各人教导邻舍唱哀歌。
fù nǚ men nǎ , nǐ men dāng tīng yē hé huá de huà , lǐng shòu tā kǒu zhōng de yán yǔ ; yòu dāng jiào dǎo nǐ men de ér nǚ jǔ āi , gè rén jiào dǎo lín shè chàng āi gē 。
Yet hear the LORD’s word, you women. Let your ear receive the word of his mouth. Teach your daughters wailing. Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.
因为死亡上来, 进了我们的窗户, 入了我们的宫殿; 要从外边剪除孩童, 从街上剪除少年人。
yīn wèi sǐ wáng shàng lái , jìn le wǒ men de chuāng hù , rù le wǒ men de gōng diàn ; yào cóng wài biān jiǎn chú hái tóng , cóng jiē shàng jiǎn chú shào nián rén 。
For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
你当说,耶和华如此说: 人的尸首必倒在田野像粪土, 又像收割的人遗落的一把禾稼, 无人收取。
nǐ dāng shuō , yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō : rén de shī shǒu bì dǎo zài tián yě xiàng fèn tǔ , yòu xiàng shōu gē de rén yí luò de yì bǎ hé jià , wú rén shōu qǔ 。
Speak, “The LORD says, “‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester. No one will gather them.’”
耶和华如此说:「智慧人不要因他的智慧夸口,勇士不要因他的勇力夸口,财主不要因他的财物夸口。
yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō :「 zhì huì rén bú yào yīn tā de zhì huì kuā kǒu , yǒng shì bú yào yīn tā de yǒng lì kuā kǒu , cái zhǔ bú yào yīn tā de cái wù kuā kǒu 。
The LORD says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
夸口的却因他有聪明,认识我是耶和华,又知道我喜悦在世上施行慈爱、公平,和公义,以此夸口。这是耶和华说的。」
kuā kǒu de què yīn tā yǒu cōng ming , rèn shi wǒ shì yē hé huá , yòu zhī dào wǒ xǐ yuè zài shì shàng shī xíng cí ài 、 gōng píng , hé gōng yì , yǐ cǐ kuā kǒu 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。」
But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says the LORD.
耶和华说:「看哪,日子将到,我要刑罚一切受过割礼、心却未受割礼的,
yē hé huá shuō :「 kàn nǎ , rì zi jiāng dào , wǒ yào xíng fá yí qiè shòu guò gē lǐ 、 xīn què wèi shòu gē lǐ de ,
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:
就是埃及、犹大、以东、亚扪人、摩押人,和一切住在旷野剃周围头发的;因为列国人都没有受割礼,以色列人心中也没有受割礼。」
jiù shì āi jí 、 yóu dà 、 yǐ dōng 、 yà mén rén 、 mó yā rén , hé yí qiè zhù zài kuàng yě tì zhōu wéi tóu fa de ; yīn wèi liè guó rén dōu méi yǒu shòu gē lǐ , yǐ sè liè rén xīn zhōng yě méi yǒu shòu gē lǐ 。」
Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”
