耶利米书 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1耶和华说： 以色列 啊， 你若回来归向我， 若从我眼前除掉你可憎的 偶像 ， 你就不被迁移。
1“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;
2你必凭诚实、公平、公义， 指着永生的耶和华起誓； 列国必因耶和华称自己为有福， 也必因他夸耀。
2and 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.”
3耶和华对 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 人如此说： 要开垦你们的荒地， 不要撒种在荆棘中。
3For the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up your fallow ground, and don’t sow among thorns.
4犹大 人和 耶路撒冷 的居民哪， 你们当自行割礼，归耶和华， 将心里的污秽除掉； 恐怕我的忿怒因你们的恶行发作， 如火着起， 甚至无人能以熄灭！
4Circumcise 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.
5你们当传扬在 犹大 ， 宣告在 耶路撒冷 说： 你们当在国中吹角，高声呼叫说： 你们当聚集！ 我们好进入坚固城！
5Declare 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!’
6应当向 锡安 竖立大旗。 要逃避，不要迟延， 因我必使灾祸与大毁灭从北方来到。
6Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety! Don’t wait; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.”
7有狮子从密林中上来， 是毁坏列国的。 它已经动身出离本处， 要使你的地荒凉， 使你的城邑变为荒场无人居住。
7A 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.
8因此，你们当腰束麻布，大声哀号， 因为耶和华的烈怒没有向我们转消。
8For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD hasn’t turned back from us.
9耶和华说：「到那时，君王和首领的心都要消灭；祭司都要惊奇，先知都要诧异。」
9“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.”
10我说：「哀哉！主耶和华啊，你真是大大地欺哄这百姓和 耶路撒冷 ，说：『你们必得平安。』其实刀剑害及性命了。」
10Then 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.”
11那时，必有话对这百姓和 耶路撒冷 说：「有一阵热风从旷野净光的高处向我的众民刮来，不是为簸扬，也不是为扬净。
11At 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.
12必有一阵更大的风从这些地方为我刮来；现在我又必发出判语，攻击他们。」
12A full wind from these will come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.”
13看哪，仇敌必如云上来； 他的战车如旋风， 他的马匹比鹰更快。 我们有祸了！ 我们败落了！
13Behold, 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.
14耶路撒冷 啊，你当洗去心中的恶， 使你可以得救。 恶念存在你心里要到几时呢？
14Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?
15有声音从 但 传扬， 从 以法莲山 报祸患。
15For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:
16你们当传给列国， 报告攻击 耶路撒冷 的事说： 有探望的人从远方来到， 向 犹大 的城邑大声呐喊。
16“Tell the nations, behold, publish against Jerusalem, ‘Watchers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
17他们周围攻击 耶路撒冷 ， 好像看守田园的， 因为她背叛了我。 这是耶和华说的。
17As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,’” says the LORD.
18你的行动，你的作为，招惹这事； 这是你罪恶的结果， 实在是苦， 是害及你心了！
18“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.”
19我的肺腑啊，我的肺腑啊，我心疼痛！ 我心在我里面烦躁不安。 我不能静默不言， 因为我已经听见角声和打仗的喊声。
19My 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.
20毁坏的信息连络不绝， 因为全地荒废。 我的帐棚忽然毁坏； 我的幔子顷刻破裂。
20Destruction on destruction is decreed, for the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, and my curtains gone in a moment.
21我看见大旗，听见角声， 要到几时呢？
21How long will I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22耶和华说 ：我的百姓愚顽，不认识我； 他们是愚昧无知的儿女， 有智慧行恶，没有知识行善。
22“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.”
23先知说 ：我观看地， 不料，地是空虚混沌； 我观看天，天也无光。
23I saw the earth and, behold, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.
24我观看大山，不料，尽都震动， 小山也都摇来摇去。
24I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
25我观看，不料，无人； 空中的飞鸟也都躲避。
25I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.
26我观看，不料，肥田变为荒地； 一切城邑在耶和华面前， 因他的烈怒都被拆毁。
26I 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.
27耶和华如此说：全地必然荒凉， 我却不毁灭净尽。
27For the LORD says, “The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
28因此，地要悲哀， 在上的天也必黑暗； 因为我言已出，我意已定， 必不后悔，也不转意不做。
28For 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.”
29各城的人因马兵和弓箭手的响声就都逃跑， 进入密林，爬上磐石； 各城被撇下， 无人住在其中。
29Every 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.
30你凄凉的时候要怎样行呢？ 你虽穿上朱红 衣服 ， 佩戴黄金装饰， 用颜料修饰眼目， 这样标致是枉然的！ 恋爱 你的 藐视你， 并且寻索你的性命。
30You, 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.
31我听见有声音，仿佛妇人产难的声音， 好像生头胎疼痛 的声音 ， 是 锡安 女子的声音； 她喘着气、挓挲手， 说 ：我有祸了！ 在杀人的跟前，我的心发昏了。
31For 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.”
