Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1“At that time,” declares the LORD, “the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of the officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.
1耶和華說：「到那時，人必將 猶大 王的骸骨和他首領的骸骨、祭司的骸骨、先知的骸骨，並 耶路撒冷 居民的骸骨，都從墳墓中取出來，
2They will be exposed to the sun and moon, and to all the host of heaven which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up or buried, but will become like dung lying on the ground.
2拋散在日頭、月亮，和天上眾星之下，就是他們從前所喜愛、所事奉、所隨從、所求問、所敬拜的。這些骸骨不再收殮，不再葬埋，必在地面上成為糞土；
3And wherever I have banished them, the remnant of this evil family will choose death over life,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
3並且這惡族所剩下的民在我所趕他們到的各處，寧可揀死不揀生。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」
4So you are to tell them this is what the LORD says: “Do men fall and not get up again? Does one turn away and not return?
4你要對他們說，耶和華如此說： 人跌倒，不再起來嗎？ 人轉去，不再轉來嗎？
5Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.
5這 耶路撒冷 的民，為何恆久背道呢？ 他們守定詭詐，不肯回頭。
6I have listened and heard; they do not speak what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, asking, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone has pursued his own course like a horse charging into battle.
6我留心聽，聽見他們說不正直的話。 無人悔改惡行，說： 我做的是甚麼呢？ 他們各人轉奔己路， 如馬直闖戰場。
7Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush keep their time of migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
7空中的鸛鳥知道 來去的 定期； 斑鳩燕子與白鶴也守候當來的時令； 我的百姓卻不知道耶和華的法則。
8How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us,’ when in fact the lying pen of the scribes has produced a deception?
8你們怎麼說：我們有智慧， 耶和華的律法在我們這裏？ 看哪，文士的假筆舞弄虛假。
9The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what wisdom do they really have?
9智慧人慚愧，驚惶，被擒拿； 他們棄掉耶和華的話， 心裏還有甚麼智慧呢？
10Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. For from the least of them to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice deceit.
10所以我必將他們的妻子給別人， 將他們的田地給別人為業； 因為他們從最小的到至大的都一味地貪婪， 從先知到祭司都行事虛謊。
11They dress the wound of the daughter of My people with very little care, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace at all.
11他們輕輕忽忽地醫治我百姓的損傷，說： 平安了！平安了！ 其實沒有平安。
12Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse, says the LORD.
12他們行可憎的事知道慚愧嗎？ 不然，他們毫不慚愧， 也不知羞恥。 因此他們必在仆倒的人中仆倒； 我向他們討罪的時候， 他們必致跌倒。 這是耶和華說的。
13I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the tree, and even the leaf will wither. Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”
13耶和華說：我必使他們全然滅絕； 葡萄樹上必沒有葡萄， 無花果樹上必沒有果子， 葉子也必枯乾。 我所賜給他們的， 必離開他們過去。
14Why are we just sitting here? Gather together, let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there, for the LORD our God has doomed us. He has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
14我們為何靜坐不動呢？ 我們當聚集，進入堅固城， 在那裏靜默不言； 因為耶和華－我們的上帝使我們靜默不言， 又將苦膽水給我們喝， 都因我們得罪了耶和華。
15We hoped for peace, but no good has come, for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
15我們指望平安， 卻得不着好處； 指望痊癒的時候， 不料，受了驚惶。
16The snorting of enemy horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds, the whole land quakes. They come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who dwell in it.
16聽見從 但 那裏敵人的馬噴鼻氣， 他的壯馬發嘶聲， 全地就都震動； 因為他們來吞滅這地和其上所有的， 吞滅這城與其中的居民。
17“For behold, I will send snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,” declares the LORD.
17看哪，我必使毒蛇到你們中間， 是不服法術的， 必咬你們。 這是耶和華說的。
18My sorrow is beyond healing; my heart is faint within me.
18我有憂愁，願能自慰； 我心在我裏面發昏。
19Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”
19聽啊，是我百姓的哀聲從極遠之地而來， 說 ：耶和華不在 錫安 嗎？ 錫安 的王不在其中嗎？ 耶和華說 ：他們為甚麼以雕刻的偶像 和外邦虛無 的神 惹我發怒呢？
20“The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.”
20麥秋已過，夏令已完， 我們還未得救！
21For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am crushed. I mourn; horror has gripped me.
21先知說 ：因我百姓的損傷， 我也受了損傷。 我哀痛，驚惶將我抓住。
22Is there no balm in Gilead? Is no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
22在 基列 豈沒有乳香呢？ 在那裏豈沒有醫生呢？ 我百姓為何不得痊癒呢？
