Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2“You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.”
2「你在這地方不可娶妻，生兒養女。
3For this is what the LORD says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land:
3因為論到在這地方所生的兒女，又論到在這國中生養他們的父母，耶和華如此說：
4“They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
4他們必死得甚苦，無人哀哭，必不得葬埋，必在地上像糞土，必被刀劍和饑荒滅絕；他們的屍首必給空中的飛鳥和地上的野獸作食物。」
5Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My compassion,” declares the LORD.
5耶和華如此說：「不要進入喪家，不要去哀哭，也不要為他們悲傷，因我已將我的平安、慈愛、憐憫從這百姓奪去了。這是耶和華說的。
6“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.
6連大帶小，都必在這地死亡，不得葬埋。人必不為他們哀哭，不用刀劃身，也不使頭光禿。
7No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
7他們有喪事，人必不為他們擘 餅 ，因死人安慰他們；他們喪父喪母，人也不給他們一杯酒安慰他們。
8You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink.
8你不可進入宴樂的家，與他們同坐吃喝。
9For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom.
9因為萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：你們還活着的日子在你們眼前，我必使歡喜和快樂的聲音，新郎和新婦的聲音，從這地方止息了。
10When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
10「你將這一切的話指示這百姓。他們問你說：『耶和華為甚麼說，要降這大災禍攻擊我們呢？我們有甚麼罪孽呢？我們向耶和華－我們的上帝犯了甚麼罪呢？』
11Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction.
11你就對他們說：『耶和華說：因為你們列祖離棄我，隨從別神，事奉敬拜，不遵守我的律法，
12And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
12而且你們行惡比你們列祖更甚；因為各人隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事，甚至不聽從我，
13So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
13所以我必將你們從這地趕出，直趕到你們和你們列祖素不認識的地。你們在那裏必晝夜事奉別神，因為我必不向你們施恩。』」
14Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
14耶和華說：「日子將到，人必不再指着那領 以色列 人從 埃及 地上來之永生的耶和華起誓，
15Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.
15卻要指着那領 以色列 人從北方之地，並趕他們到的各國上來之永生的耶和華起誓，並且我要領他們再入我從前賜給他們列祖之地。」
16But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
16耶和華說：「我要召許多打魚的把 以色列 人打上來，然後我要召許多打獵的，從各山上、各岡上、各石穴中獵取他們。
17For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.
17因我的眼目察看他們的一切行為；他們不能在我面前遮掩，他們的罪孽也不能在我眼前隱藏。
18And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
18我先要加倍報應他們的罪孽和罪惡；因為他們用可憎之屍玷污我的地土，又用可厭之物充滿我的產業。」
19O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
19耶和華啊，你是我的力量， 是我的保障； 在苦難之日是我的避難所。 列國人必從地極來到你這裏， 說：我們列祖所承受的， 不過是虛假，是虛空無益之物。
20Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
20人豈可為自己製造神呢？ 其實這不是神。
21“Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.
21耶和華 說：「我要使他們知道，就是這一次使他們知道我的手和我的能力。他們就知道我的名是耶和華了。」
