耶利米書 3

有話說：人若休妻， 妻離他而去，作了別人的妻， 前夫豈能再收回她來？ 若收回她來，那地豈不是大大玷污了嗎？ 但你和許多親愛的行邪淫， 還可以歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。

yǒu huà shuō ： rén ruò xiū qī ， qī lí tā ér qù ， zuò le bié rén de qī ， qián fū qǐ néng zài shōu huí tā lái ？ ruò shōu huí tā lái ， nà dì qǐ bú shì dà dà diàn wū le ma ？ dàn nǐ hé xǔ duō qīn ài de xíng xié yín ， hái kě yǐ guī xiàng wǒ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

“They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me,” says the LORD.

你向淨光的高處舉目觀看， 你在何處沒有淫行呢？ 你坐在道旁等候， 好像阿拉伯人在曠野埋伏一樣， 並且你的淫行邪惡玷污了全地。

nǐ xiàng jìng guāng de gāo chù jǔ mù guān kàn ， nǐ zài hé chù méi yǒu yín xíng ne ？ nǐ zuò zài dào páng děng hòu ， hǎo xiàng ā lā bó rén zài kuàng yě mái fú yí yàng ， bìng qiě nǐ de yín xíng xié è diàn wū le quán dì 。

“Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been lain with? You have sat waiting for them by the road, as an Arabian in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness.

因此甘霖停止， 春 雨不降。 你還是有娼妓之臉， 不顧羞恥。

yīn cǐ gān lín tíng zhǐ ， chūn yǔ bú jiàng 。 nǐ hái shì yǒu chāng jì zhī liǎn ， bú gù xiū chǐ 。

Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed.

從今以後，你豈不向我呼叫說： 我父啊，你是我幼年的恩主。

cóng jīn yǐ hòu ， nǐ qǐ bú xiàng wǒ hū jiào shuō ： wǒ fù a ， nǐ shì wǒ yòu nián de ēn zhǔ 。

Will you not from this time cry to me, ‘My Father, you are the guide of my youth!’?

耶和華豈永遠懷怒，存留到底嗎？ 看哪，你又發惡言又行壞事， 隨自己的私意而行 。」

yē hé huá qǐ yǒng yuǎn huái nù ， cún liú dào dǐ ma ？ kàn nǎ ， nǐ yòu fā è yán yòu xíng huài shì ， suí zì jǐ de sī yì ér xíng 。」

“‘Will he retain his anger forever? Will he keep it to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way.”

約西亞王在位的時候，耶和華又對我說：「背道的以色列所行的，你看見沒有？她上各高山，在各青翠樹下行淫。

yuē xī yà wáng zài wèi de shí hòu ， yē hé huá yòu duì wǒ shuō ：「 bèi dào de yǐ sè liè suǒ xíng de ， nǐ kàn jiàn méi yǒu ？ tā shàng gè gāo shān ， zài gè qīng cuì shù xià xíng yín 。

Moreover, the LORD said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has played the prostitute there.

她行這些事以後，我說她必歸向我，她卻不歸向我。她奸詐的妹妹猶大也看見了。

tā xíng zhè xiē shì yǐ hòu ， wǒ shuō tā bì guī xiàng wǒ ， tā què bù guī xiàng wǒ 。 tā jiān zhà de mèi mei yóu dà yě kàn jiàn le 。

I said after she had done all these things, ‘She will return to me;’ but she didn’t return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

背道的以色列行淫，我為這緣故給她休書休她；我看見她奸詐的妹妹猶大，還不懼怕，也去行淫。

bèi dào de yǐ sè liè xíng yín ， wǒ wèi zhè yuán gù gěi tā xiū shū xiū tā ； wǒ kàn jiàn tā jiān zhà de mèi mei yóu dà ， hái bú jù pà ， yě qù xíng yín 。

I saw when, for this very cause, that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.

因以色列輕忽了她的淫亂，和石頭木頭行淫，地就被玷污了。

yīn yǐ sè liè qīng hū le tā de yín luàn ， hé shí tou mù tou xíng yín ， dì jiù bèi diàn wū le 。

Because she took her prostitution lightly, the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with wood.

雖有這一切的事，她奸詐的妹妹猶大還不一心歸向我，不過是假意歸我。這是耶和華說的。」

suī yǒu zhè yí qiè de shì ， tā jiān zhà de mèi mei yóu dà hái bù yì xīn guī xiàng wǒ ， bú guò shì jiǎ yì guī wǒ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。」

Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense,” says the LORD.

耶和華對我說：「背道的以色列比奸詐的猶大還顯為義。

yē hé huá duì wǒ shuō ：「 bèi dào de yǐ sè liè bǐ jiān zhà de yóu dà hái xiǎn wèi yì 。

The LORD said to me, “Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

你去向北方宣告說： 耶和華說：背道的以色列啊，回來吧！ 我必不怒目看你們； 因為我是慈愛的， 我必不永遠存怒。 這是耶和華說的。

nǐ qù xiàng běi fāng xuān gào shuō ： yē hé huá shuō ： bèi dào de yǐ sè liè a ， huí lái ba ！ wǒ bì bú nù mù kàn nǐ men ； yīn wèi wǒ shì cí ài de ， wǒ bì bù yǒng yuǎn cún nù 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return, you backsliding Israel,’ says the LORD; ‘I will not look in anger on you, for I am merciful,’ says the LORD. ‘I will not keep anger forever.

只要承認你的罪孽， 就是你違背耶和華－你的上帝， 在各青翠樹下向別神東奔西跑， 沒有聽從我的話。 這是耶和華說的。

zhǐ yào chéng rèn nǐ de zuì niè ， jiù shì nǐ wéi bèi yē hé huá — nǐ de shén ， zài gè qīng cuì shù xià xiàng bié shén dōng bēn xī pǎo ， méi yǒu tīng cóng wǒ de huà 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,’” says the LORD.

耶和華說：背道的兒女啊，回來吧！ 因為我作你們的丈夫， 並且我必將你們從一城取一人， 從一族取兩人，帶到錫安。

yē hé huá shuō ： bèi dào de ér nǚ a ， huí lái ba ！ yīn wèi wǒ zuò nǐ men de zhàng fu ， bìng qiě wǒ bì jiāng nǐ men cóng yì chéng qǔ yì rén ， cóng yì zú qǔ liǎng rén ， dài dào xī ān 。

“Return, backsliding children,” says the LORD, “for I am a husband to you. I will take one of you from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

我也必將合我心的牧者賜給你們。他們必以知識和智慧牧養你們。」

wǒ yě bì jiāng hé wǒ xīn de mù zhě cì gěi nǐ men 。 tā men bì yǐ zhī shi hé zhì huì mù yǎng nǐ men 。」

I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

耶和華說：「你們在國中生養眾多；當那些日子，人必不再提說耶和華的約櫃，不追想，不記念，不覺缺少，也不再製造。

yē hé huá shuō ：「 nǐ men zài guó zhōng shēng yǎng zhòng duō ； dāng nà xiē rì zi ， rén bì bú zài tí shuō yē hé huá de yuē guì ， bù zhuī xiǎng ， bú jì niàn ， bù jué quē shǎo ， yě bú zài zhì zào 。

It will come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the LORD, “they will no longer say, ‘the ark of the LORD’s covenant!’ It will not come to mind. They won’t remember it. They won’t miss it, nor will another be made.

那時，人必稱耶路撒冷為耶和華的寶座；萬國必到耶路撒冷，在耶和華立名的地方聚集。他們必不再隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事。

nà shí ， rén bì chēng yē lù sā lěng wèi yē hé huá de bǎo zuò ； wàn guó bì dào yē lù sā lěng ， zài yē hé huá lì míng de dì fāng jù jí 。 tā men bì bú zài suí cóng zì jǐ wán gěng de ě xīn xíng shì 。

At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The LORD’s Throne;’ and all the nations will be gathered to it, to the LORD’s name, to Jerusalem. They will no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

當那些日子，猶大家要和以色列家同行，從北方之地一同來到我賜給你們列祖為業之地。」

dāng nà xiē rì zi ， yóu dà jiā yào hé yǐ sè liè jiā tóng xíng ， cóng běi fāng zhī dì yì tóng lái dào wǒ cì gěi nǐ men liè zǔ wèi yè zhī dì 。」

In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers.

我說：我怎樣將你安置在兒女之中， 賜給你美地， 就是萬國中肥美的產業。 我又說：你們必稱我為父， 也不再轉去不跟從我。

wǒ shuō ： wǒ zěn yàng jiāng nǐ ān zhì zài ér nǚ zhī zhōng ， cì gěi nǐ měi dì ， jiù shì wàn guó zhōng féi měi de chǎn yè 。 wǒ yòu shuō ： nǐ men bì chēng wǒ wèi fù ， yě bú zài zhuǎn qù bù gēn cóng wǒ 。

“But I said, ‘How I desire to put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!’ and I said, ‘You shall call me “My Father”, and shall not turn away from following me.’

以色列家，你們向我行詭詐， 真像妻子行詭詐離開她丈夫一樣。 這是耶和華說的。

yǐ sè liè jiā ， nǐ men xiàng wǒ xíng guǐ zhà ， zhēn xiàng qī zǐ xíng guǐ zhà lí kāi tā zhàng fu yí yàng 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

“Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel,” says the LORD.

在淨光的高處聽見人聲， 就是以色列人哭泣懇求之聲， 乃因他們走彎曲之道， 忘記耶和華－他們的上帝。

zài jìng guāng de gāo chù tīng jiàn rén shēng ， jiù shì yǐ sè liè rén kū qì kěn qiú zhī shēng ， nǎi yīn tā men zǒu wān qū zhī dào ， wàng jì yē hé huá — tā men de shén 。

A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping and the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.

你們這背道的兒女啊，回來吧！ 我要醫治你們背道的病。 看哪，我們來到你這裏， 因你是耶和華－我們的上帝。

nǐ men zhè bèi dào de ér nǚ a ， huí lái ba ！ wǒ yào yī zhì nǐ men bèi dào de bìng 。 kàn nǎ ， wǒ men lái dào nǐ zhè lǐ ， yīn nǐ shì yē hé huá — wǒ men de shén 。

Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding. “Behold, we have come to you; for you are the LORD our God.

仰望從小山或從大山的喧嚷中得幫助， 真是枉然的。 以色列得救，誠然在乎耶和華－我們的上帝。

yǎng wàng cóng xiǎo shān huò cóng dà shān de xuān rǎng zhōng dé bāng zhù ， zhēn shì wǎng rán de 。 yǐ sè liè dé jiù ， chéng rán zài hū yē hé huá — wǒ men de shén 。

Truly help from the hills, the tumult on the mountains, is in vain. Truly the salvation of Israel is in the LORD our God.

從我們幼年以來，那可恥的偶像將我們列祖所勞碌得來的羊群、牛群，和他們的兒女都吞吃了。

cóng wǒ men yòu nián yǐ lái ， nà kě chǐ de ǒu xiàng jiāng wǒ men liè zǔ suǒ láo lù dé lái de yáng qún 、 niú qún ， hé tā men de ér nǚ dōu tūn chī le 。

But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

我們在羞恥中躺臥吧！願慚愧將我們遮蓋；因為從立國 以來，我們和我們的列祖常常得罪耶和華－我們的上帝，沒有聽從耶和華－我們上帝的話。

wǒ men zài xiū chǐ zhōng tǎng wò ba ！ yuàn cán kuì jiāng wǒ men zhē gài ； yīn wèi cóng lì guó yǐ lái ， wǒ men hé wǒ men de liè zǔ cháng cháng dé zuì yē hé huá — wǒ men de shén ， méi yǒu tīng cóng yē hé huá — wǒ men shén de huà 。

Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day. We have not obeyed the LORD our God’s voice.”
