耶利米書 9

但願我的頭為水， 我的眼為淚的泉源， 我好為我百姓 中被殺的人晝夜哭泣。

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!

惟願我在曠野有行路人住宿之處， 使我可以離開我的民出去； 因他們都是行姦淫的， 是行詭詐的一黨。

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.

他們彎起舌頭像弓一樣， 為要說謊話。 他們在國中增長勢力， 不是為行誠實， 乃是惡上加惡， 並不認識我。 這是耶和華說的。

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.

你們各人當謹防鄰舍， 不可信靠弟兄； 因為弟兄盡行欺騙， 鄰舍都往來讒謗人。

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.

他們各人欺哄鄰舍，不說真話； 他們教舌頭學習說謊， 勞勞碌碌地作孽。

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.

你的住處在詭詐的人中； 他們因行詭詐，不肯認識我。 這是耶和華說的。

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.

所以萬軍之耶和華如此說： 看哪，我要將他們鎔化熬煉； 不然，我因我百姓的罪該怎樣行呢？

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?

他們的舌頭是毒箭，說話詭詐； 人與鄰舍口說和平話， 心卻謀害他。

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.

耶和華說：我豈不因這些事討他們的罪呢？ 豈不報復這樣的國民呢？

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?

我要為山嶺哭泣悲哀， 為曠野的草場揚聲哀號； 因為都已乾焦，甚至無人經過。 人也聽不見牲畜鳴叫， 空中的飛鳥和地上的野獸都已逃去。

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.

我必使耶路撒冷變為亂堆，為野狗的住處， 也必使猶大的城邑變為荒場，無人居住。

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.”

誰是智慧人，可以明白這事？耶和華的口向誰說過，使他可以傳說？遍地為何滅亡，乾焦好像曠野，甚至無人經過呢？

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?

耶和華說：「因為這百姓離棄我在他們面前所設立的律法，沒有遵行，也沒有聽從我的話；

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,

只隨從自己頑梗的心行事，照他們列祖所教訓的隨從眾巴力。」

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.”

所以萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：「看哪，我必將茵蔯給這百姓吃，又將苦膽水給他們喝。

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.

我要把他們散在列邦中，就是他們和他們列祖素不認識的列邦。我也要使刀劍追殺他們，直到將他們滅盡。」

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.”

萬軍之耶和華如此說： 你們應當思想， 將善唱哀歌的婦女召來， 又打發人召善哭的婦女來，

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.

叫她們速速為我們舉哀， 使我們眼淚汪汪， 使我們的眼皮湧出水來。

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.

因為聽見哀聲出於錫安，說： 我們怎樣敗落了！ 我們大大地慚愧！ 我們撇下地土； 人也拆毀了我們的房屋。

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.’”

婦女們哪，你們當聽耶和華的話， 領受他口中的言語； 又當教導你們的兒女舉哀， 各人教導鄰舍唱哀歌。

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.

因為死亡上來， 進了我們的窗戶， 入了我們的宮殿； 要從外邊剪除孩童， 從街上剪除少年人。

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.

你當說，耶和華如此說： 人的屍首必倒在田野像糞土， 又像收割的人遺落的一把禾稼， 無人收取。

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.’”

耶和華如此說：「智慧人不要因他的智慧誇口，勇士不要因他的勇力誇口，財主不要因他的財物誇口。

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.

誇口的卻因他有聰明，認識我是耶和華，又知道我喜悅在世上施行慈愛、公平，和公義，以此誇口。這是耶和華說的。」

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.

耶和華說：「看哪，日子將到，我要刑罰一切受過割禮、心卻未受割禮的，

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、猶大、以東、亞捫人、摩押人，和一切住在曠野剃周圍頭髮的；因為列國人都沒有受割禮，以色列人心中也沒有受割禮。」

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.”
