耶利米書 4

耶和華說：以色列啊， 你若回來歸向我， 若從我眼前除掉你可憎的偶像， 你就不被遷移。

yē hé huá shuō ： yǐ sè liè a ， nǐ ruò huí lái guī xiàng wǒ ， ruò cóng wǒ yǎn qián chú diào nǐ kě zēng de ǒu xiàng ， nǐ jiù bú bèi qiān yí 。

“If you will return, Israel,” says the LORD, “if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you will not be removed;

你必憑誠實、公平、公義， 指着永生的耶和華起誓； 列國必因耶和華稱自己為有福， 也必因他誇耀。

nǐ bì píng chéng shí 、 gōng píng 、 gōng yì ， zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá qǐ shì ； liè guó bì yīn yē hé huá chēng zì jǐ wèi yǒu fú ， yě bì yīn tā kuā yào 。

and you will swear, ‘As the LORD lives,’ in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. The nations will bless themselves in him, and they will glory in him.”

耶和華對猶大和耶路撒冷人如此說： 要開墾你們的荒地， 不要撒種在荊棘中。

yē hé huá duì yóu dà hé yē lù sā lěng rén rú cǐ shuō ： yào kāi kěn nǐ men de huāng dì ， bú yào sā zhǒng zài jīng jí zhōng 。

For the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up your fallow ground, and don’t sow among thorns.

猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪， 你們當自行割禮，歸耶和華， 將心裏的污穢除掉； 恐怕我的忿怒因你們的惡行發作， 如火着起， 甚至無人能以熄滅！

yóu dà rén hé yē lù sā lěng de jū mín nǎ ， nǐ men dāng zì xíng gē lǐ ， guī yē hé huá ， jiāng xīn lǐ de wū huì chú diào ； kǒng pà wǒ de fèn nù yīn nǐ men de è xíng fā zuò ， rú huǒ zhe qǐ ， shèn zhì wú rén néng yǐ xī miè ！

Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

你們當傳揚在猶大， 宣告在耶路撒冷說： 你們當在國中吹角，高聲呼叫說： 你們當聚集！ 我們好進入堅固城！

nǐ men dāng chuán yáng zài yóu dà ， xuān gào zài yē lù sā lěng shuō ： nǐ men dāng zài guó zhōng chuī jiǎo ， gāo shēng hū jiào shuō ： nǐ men dāng jù jí ！ wǒ men hǎo jìn rù jiān gù chéng ！

Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, ‘Blow the trumpet in the land!’ Cry aloud and say, ‘Assemble yourselves! Let’s go into the fortified cities!’

應當向錫安豎立大旗。 要逃避，不要遲延， 因我必使災禍與大毀滅從北方來到。

yīng dāng xiàng xī ān shù lì dà qí 。 yào táo bì ， bú yào chí yán ， yīn wǒ bì shǐ zāi huò yǔ dà huǐ miè cóng běi fāng lái dào 。

Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety! Don’t wait; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.”

有獅子從密林中上來， 是毀壞列國的。 牠已經動身出離本處， 要使你的地荒涼， 使你的城邑變為荒場無人居住。

yǒu shī zi cóng mì lín zhōng shàng lái ， shì huǐ huài liè guó de 。 tā yǐ jīng dòng shēn chū lí běn chù ， yào shǐ nǐ de dì huāng liáng ， shǐ nǐ de chéng yì biàn wèi huāng chǎng wú rén jū zhù 。

A lion has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations. He is on his way. He has gone out from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.

因此，你們當腰束麻布，大聲哀號， 因為耶和華的烈怒沒有向我們轉消。

yīn cǐ ， nǐ men dāng yāo shù má bù ， dà shēng āi háo ， yīn wèi yē hé huá de liè nù méi yǒu xiàng wǒ men zhuǎn xiāo 。

For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD hasn’t turned back from us.

耶和華說：「到那時，君王和首領的心都要消滅；祭司都要驚奇，先知都要詫異。」

yē hé huá shuō ：「 dào nà shí ， jūn wáng hé shǒu lǐng de xīn dōu yào xiāo miè ； jì sī dōu yào jīng qí ， xiān zhī dōu yào chà yì 。」

“It will happen at that day,” says the LORD, “that the heart of the king will perish, along with the heart of the princes. The priests will be astonished, and the prophets will wonder.”

我說：「哀哉！主耶和華啊，你真是大大地欺哄這百姓和耶路撒冷，說：『你們必得平安。』其實刀劍害及性命了。」

wǒ shuō ：「 āi zāi ！ zhǔ yē hé huá a ， nǐ zhēn shì dà dà dì qī hǒng zhè bǎi xìng hé yē lù sā lěng ， shuō ：『 nǐ men bì dé píng ān 。』 qí shí dāo jiàn hài jí xìng mìng le 。」

Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You will have peace;’ whereas the sword reaches to the heart.”

那時，必有話對這百姓和耶路撒冷說：「有一陣熱風從曠野淨光的高處向我的眾民 颳來，不是為簸揚，也不是為揚淨。

nà shí ， bì yǒu huà duì zhè bǎi xìng hé yē lù sā lěng shuō ：「 yǒu yí zhèn rè fēng cóng kuàng yě jìng guāng de gāo chù xiàng wǒ de zhòng mín guā lái ， bú shì wèi bò yáng ， yě bú shì wèi yáng jìng 。

At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A hot wind blows from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse.

必有一陣更大的風從這些地方為我颳來；現在我又必發出判語，攻擊他們。」

bì yǒu yí zhèn gèng dà de fēng cóng zhè xiē dì fāng wèi wǒ guā lái ； xiàn zài wǒ yòu bì fā chū pàn yǔ ， gōng jī tā men 。」

A full wind from these will come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.”

看哪，仇敵必如雲上來； 他的戰車如旋風， 他的馬匹比鷹更快。 我們有禍了！ 我們敗落了！

kàn nǎ ， chóu dí bì rú yún shàng lái ； tā de zhàn chē rú xuán fēng ， tā de mǎ pǐ bǐ yīng gèng kuài 。 wǒ men yǒu huò le ！ wǒ men bài luò le ！

Behold, he will come up as clouds, and his chariots will be as the whirlwind. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are ruined.

耶路撒冷啊，你當洗去心中的惡， 使你可以得救。 惡念存在你心裏要到幾時呢？

yē lù sā lěng a ， nǐ dāng xǐ qù xīn zhōng de è ， shǐ nǐ kě yǐ dé jiù 。 è niàn cún zài nǐ xīn lǐ yào dào jǐ shí ne ？

Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?

有聲音從但傳揚， 從以法蓮山報禍患。

yǒu shēng yīn cóng dàn chuán yáng ， cóng yǐ fǎ lián shān bào huò huàn 。

For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:

你們當傳給列國， 報告攻擊耶路撒冷的事說： 有探望的人從遠方來到， 向猶大的城邑大聲吶喊。

nǐ men dāng chuán gěi liè guó ， bào gào gōng jī yē lù sā lěng de shì shuō ： yǒu tàn wàng de rén cóng yuǎn fāng lái dào ， xiàng yóu dà de chéng yì dà shēng nà hǎn 。

“Tell the nations, behold, publish against Jerusalem, ‘Watchers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.

他們周圍攻擊耶路撒冷， 好像看守田園的， 因為她背叛了我。 這是耶和華說的。

tā men zhōu wéi gōng jī yē lù sā lěng ， hǎo xiàng kān shǒu tián yuán de ， yīn wèi tā bèi pàn le wǒ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,’” says the LORD.

你的行動，你的作為，招惹這事； 這是你罪惡的結果， 實在是苦， 是害及你心了！

nǐ de xíng dòng ， nǐ de zuò wéi ， zhāo rě zhè shì ； zhè shì nǐ zuì è de jié guǒ ， shí zài shì kǔ ， shì hài jí nǐ xīn le ！

“Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness, for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.”

我的肺腑啊，我的肺腑啊，我心疼痛！ 我心在我裏面煩躁不安。 我不能靜默不言， 因為我已經聽見角聲和打仗的喊聲。

wǒ de fèi fǔ a ， wǒ de fèi fǔ a ， wǒ xīn téng tòng ！ wǒ xīn zài wǒ lǐ miàn fán zào bù ān 。 wǒ bù néng jìng mò bù yán ， yīn wèi wǒ yǐ jīng tīng jiàn jiǎo shēng hé dǎ zhàng de hǎn shēng 。

My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart! My heart trembles within me. I can’t hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

毀壞的信息連絡不絕， 因為全地荒廢。 我的帳棚忽然毀壞； 我的幔子頃刻破裂。

huǐ huài de xìn xī lián luò bù jué ， yīn wèi quán dì huāng fèi 。 wǒ de zhàng péng hū rán huǐ huài ； wǒ de màn zǐ qǐng kè pò liè 。

Destruction on destruction is decreed, for the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, and my curtains gone in a moment.

我看見大旗，聽見角聲， 要到幾時呢？

wǒ kàn jiàn dà qí ， tīng jiàn jiǎo shēng ， yào dào jǐ shí ne ？

How long will I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumpet?

耶和華說：我的百姓愚頑，不認識我； 他們是愚昧無知的兒女， 有智慧行惡，沒有知識行善。

yē hé huá shuō ： wǒ de bǎi xìng yú wán ， bú rèn shi wǒ ； tā men shì yú mèi wú zhī de ér nǚ ， yǒu zhì huì xíng è ， méi yǒu zhī shi xíng shàn 。

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

先知說：我觀看地， 不料，地是空虛混沌； 我觀看天，天也無光。

xiān zhī shuō ： wǒ guān kàn dì ， bú liào ， dì shì kōng xū hùn dùn ； wǒ guān kàn tiān ， tiān yě wú guāng 。

I saw the earth and, behold, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.

我觀看大山，不料，盡都震動， 小山也都搖來搖去。

wǒ guān kàn dà shān ， bú liào ， jìn dōu zhèn dòng ， xiǎo shān yě dōu yáo lái yáo qù 。

I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.

我觀看，不料，無人； 空中的飛鳥也都躲避。

wǒ guān kàn ， bú liào ， wú rén ； kōng zhōng de fēi niǎo yě dōu duǒ bì 。

I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.

我觀看，不料，肥田變為荒地； 一切城邑在耶和華面前， 因他的烈怒都被拆毀。

wǒ guān kàn ， bú liào ， féi tián biàn wèi huāng dì ； yí qiè chéng yì zài yē hé huá miàn qián ， yīn tā de liè nù dōu bèi chāi huǐ 。

I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, before his fierce anger.

耶和華如此說：全地必然荒涼， 我卻不毀滅淨盡。

yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： quán dì bì rán huāng liáng ， wǒ què bù huǐ miè jìng jìn 。

For the LORD says, “The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.

因此，地要悲哀， 在上的天也必黑暗； 因為我言已出，我意已定， 必不後悔，也不轉意不做。

yīn cǐ ， dì yào bēi āi ， zài shàng de tiān yě bì hēi àn ； yīn wèi wǒ yán yǐ chū ， wǒ yì yǐ dìng ， bì bù hòu huǐ ， yě bù zhuǎn yì bú zuò 。

For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black, because I have spoken it. I have planned it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.”

各城的人因馬兵和弓箭手的響聲就都逃跑， 進入密林，爬上磐石； 各城被撇下， 無人住在其中。

gè chéng de rén yīn mǎ bīng hé gōng jiàn shǒu de xiǎng shēng jiù dōu táo pǎo ， jìn rù mì lín ， pá shàng pán shí ； gè chéng bèi piě xià ， wú rén zhù zài qí zhōng 。

Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers. They go into the thickets and climb up on the rocks. Every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.

你淒涼的時候要怎樣行呢？ 你雖穿上朱紅衣服， 佩戴黃金裝飾， 用顏料修飾眼目， 這樣標緻是枉然的！ 戀愛你的藐視你， 並且尋索你的性命。

nǐ qī liáng de shí hòu yào zěn yàng xíng ne ？ nǐ suī chuān shàng zhū hóng yī fú ， pèi dài huáng jīn zhuāng shì ， yòng yán liào xiū shì yǎn mù ， zhè yàng biāo zhì shì wǎng rán de ！ liàn ài nǐ de miǎo shì nǐ ， bìng qiě xún suǒ nǐ de xìng mìng 。

You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck yourself with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with makeup, you make yourself beautiful in vain. Your lovers despise you. They seek your life.

我聽見有聲音，彷彿婦人產難的聲音， 好像生頭胎疼痛的聲音， 是錫安女子 的聲音； 她喘着氣、挓挲手， 說：我有禍了！ 在殺人的跟前，我的心發昏了。

wǒ tīng jiàn yǒu shēng yīn ， fǎng fú fù rén chǎn nán de shēng yīn ， hǎo xiàng shēng tóu tāi téng tòng de shēng yīn ， shì xī ān nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn ； tā chuǎn zhe qì 、 zhā sā shǒu ， shuō ： wǒ yǒu huò le ！ zài shā rén de gēn qián ， wǒ de xīn fā hūn le 。

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, “Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.”
