耶利米书 14
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1耶和华论到干旱 之灾 的话临到 耶利米 :
1This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
2犹大 悲哀,城门衰败。 众人披上黑衣坐在地上; 耶路撒冷 的哀声上达。
2“Judah mourns and her gates languish. Her people wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
3他们的贵胄打发家僮打水; 他们来到水池, 见没有水,就拿着空器皿, 蒙羞惭愧,抱头而回。
3The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns, but find no water; their jars return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.
4耕地的也蒙羞抱头; 因为无雨降在地上, 地都干裂。
4The ground is cracked because no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
5田野的母鹿生下小鹿,就撇弃, 因为无草。
5Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.
6野驴站在净光的高处,喘气好像野狗; 因为无草,眼目失明。
6Wild donkeys stand on barren heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail for lack of pasture.”
7耶和华啊,我们的罪孽虽然作见证告我们, 还求你为你名的缘故行事。 我们本是多次背道,得罪了你。
7Although our iniquities testify against us, O LORD, act for the sake of Your name. Indeed, our rebellions are many; we have sinned against You.
8以色列 所盼望、在患难时作他救主的啊, 你为何在这地像寄居的, 又像行路的只住一宵呢?
8O Hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress, why are You like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who stays but a night?
9你为何像受惊的人, 像不能救人的勇士呢? 耶和华啊,你仍在我们中间; 我们也称为你名下的人, 求你不要离开我们。
9Why are You like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? Yet You are among us, O LORD, and we are called by Your name. Do not forsake us!
10耶和华对这百姓如此说: 这百姓喜爱妄行, 不禁止脚步, 所以耶和华不悦纳他们。 现今要记念他们的罪孽, 追讨他们的罪恶。
10This is what the LORD says about this people: “Truly they love to wander; they have not restrained their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; He will now remember their guilt and call their sins to account.”
11耶和华又对我说:「不要为这百姓祈祷求好处。
11Then the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of this people.
12他们禁食的时候,我不听他们的呼求;他们献燔祭和素祭,我也不悦纳;我却要用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫灭绝他们。」
12Although they may fast, I will not listen to their cry; although they may offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will finish them off by sword and famine and plague.”
13我就说:「唉!主耶和华啊,那些先知常对他们说:『你们必不看见刀剑,也不遭遇饥荒;耶和华要在这地方赐你们长久的平安。』」
13“Ah, Lord GOD!” I replied, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine, but I will give you lasting peace in this place.’”
14耶和华对我说:「那些先知托我的名说假预言,我并没有打发他们,没有吩咐他们,也没有对他们说话;他们向你们预言的,乃是虚假的异象和占卜,并虚无的事,以及本心的诡诈。
14“The prophets are prophesying lies in My name,” replied the LORD. “I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, a worthless divination, the futility and delusion of their own minds.
15所以耶和华如此说:论到托我名说预言的那些先知,我并没有打发他们;他们还说这地不能有刀剑饥荒,其实那些先知必被刀剑饥荒灭绝。
15Therefore this is what the LORD says about the prophets who prophesy in My name: I did not send them, yet they say, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ By sword and famine these very prophets will meet their end!
16听他们说预言的百姓必因饥荒刀剑抛在 耶路撒冷 的街道上,无人葬埋。他们连妻子带儿女,都是如此。我必将他们的恶倒在他们身上。」
16And the people to whom they prophesy will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil upon them.
17你要将这话对他们说: 愿我眼泪汪汪, 昼夜不息, 因为我百姓受了裂口破坏的大伤。
17You are to speak this word to them: ‘My eyes overflow with tears; day and night they do not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people has been shattered by a crushing blow, a severely grievous wound.
18我若出往田间, 就见有被刀杀的; 我若进入城内, 就见有因饥荒患病的; 连先知带祭司在国中往来, 也是毫无知识。
18If I go out to the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I enter the city, I see those ravaged by famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.’”
19你全然弃掉 犹大 吗? 你心厌恶 锡安 吗? 为何击打我们,以致无法医治呢? 我们指望平安,却得不着好处; 指望痊愈,不料,受了惊惶。
19Have You rejected Judah completely? Do You despise Zion? Why have You stricken us so that we are beyond healing? We hoped for peace, but no good has come, and for the time of healing, but there was only terror.
20耶和华啊,我们承认自己的罪恶, 和我们列祖的罪孽, 因我们得罪了你。
20We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, the guilt of our fathers; indeed, we have sinned against You.
21求你为你名的缘故, 不厌恶我们, 不辱没你荣耀的宝座。 求你追念, 不要背了与我们所立的约。
21For the sake of Your name do not despise us; do not disgrace Your glorious throne. Remember Your covenant with us; do not break it.
22外邦人虚无 的神 中有能降雨的吗? 天能自降甘霖吗? 耶和华—我们的 神啊, 能如此的不是你吗? 所以,我们仍要等候你, 因为这一切都是你所造的。
22Can the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies alone send showers? Is this not by You, O LORD our God? So we put our hope in You, for You have done all these things.
