耶利米書 12
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1耶和華啊，我與你爭辯的時候， 你顯為義； 但有一件，我還要與你理論： 惡人的道路為何亨通呢？ 大行詭詐的為何得安逸呢？
1Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead before You. Yet about Your judgments I wish to contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?
2你栽培了他們， 他們也扎了根， 長大，而且結果。 他們的口是與你相近， 心卻與你遠離。
2You planted them, and they have taken root. They have grown and produced fruit. You are ever on their lips, but far from their hearts.
3耶和華啊，你曉得我，看見我， 察驗我向你是怎樣的心。 求你將他們拉出來， 好像將宰的羊， 叫他們等候殺戮的日子。
3But You know me, O LORD; You see me and test my heart toward You. Drag away the wicked like sheep to the slaughter and set them apart for the day of carnage.
4這地悲哀， 通國的青草枯乾，要到幾時呢？ 因其上居民的惡行， 牲畜和飛鳥都滅絕了。 他們曾說：他看不見我們的結局。
4How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field be withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, “He cannot see what our end will be.”
5耶和華說 ：你若與步行的人同跑， 尚且覺累， 怎能與馬賽跑呢？ 你在平安之地，雖然安穩， 在 約旦河 邊的叢林要怎樣行呢？
5“If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
6因為連你弟兄和你父家都用奸詐待你。 他們也在你後邊大聲喊叫， 雖向你說好話， 你也不要信他們。
6Even your brothers— your own father’s household— even they have betrayed you; even they have cried aloud against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.
7我離了我的殿宇， 撇棄我的產業， 將我心裏所親愛的交在她仇敵的手中。
7I have forsaken My house; I have abandoned My inheritance. I have given the love of My life into the hands of her enemies.
8我的產業向我如林中的獅子， 她發聲攻擊我， 因此我恨惡她。
8My inheritance has become to Me like a lion in the forest. She has roared against Me; therefore I hate her.
9我的產業向我豈如斑點的鷙鳥呢？ 鷙鳥豈在她四圍攻擊她呢？ 你們要去聚集田野的百獸， 帶來吞吃吧！
9Is not My inheritance to Me like a speckled bird of prey with other birds of prey circling against her? Go, gather all the beasts of the field; bring them to devour her.
10許多牧人毀壞我的葡萄園， 踐踏我的分， 使我美好的分變為荒涼的曠野。
10Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard; they have trampled My plot of ground. They have turned My pleasant field into a desolate wasteland.
11他們使地荒涼； 地既荒涼，便向我悲哀。 全地荒涼，因無人介意。
11They have made it a desolation; desolate before Me, it mourns. All the land is laid waste, but no man takes it to heart.
12滅命的都來到曠野中一切淨光的高處； 耶和華的刀從地這邊直到地那邊盡行殺滅。 凡有血氣的都不得平安。
12Over all the barren heights in the wilderness the destroyers have come, for the sword of the LORD devours from one end of the earth to the other. No flesh has peace.
13他們種的是麥子， 收的是荊棘； 勞勞苦苦卻毫無益處。 因耶和華的烈怒， 你們必為自己的土產羞愧。
13They have sown wheat but harvested thorns. They have exhausted themselves to no avail. Bear the shame of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”
14耶和華如此說：「一切惡鄰，就是佔據我使百姓 以色列 所承受產業的，我要將他們拔出本地，又要將 猶大 家從他們中間拔出來。
14This is what the LORD says: “As for all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people Israel, I am about to uproot them from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them.
15我拔出他們以後，我必轉過來憐憫他們，把他們再帶回來，各歸本業，各歸故土。
15But after I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.
16他們若殷勤學習我百姓的道，指着我的名起誓 說 ：『我指着永生的耶和華起誓』，正如他們從前教我百姓指着 巴力 起誓，他們就必建立在我百姓中間。
16And if they will diligently learn the ways of My people and swear by My name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’—just as they once taught My people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among My people.
17他們若是不聽，我必拔出那國，拔出而且毀滅。這是耶和華說的。」
17But if they will not obey, then I will uproot that nation; I will uproot it and destroy it, declares the LORD.”
