耶利米書 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1耶和華對我如此說：「你去買一根麻布帶子束腰，不可放在水中。」
1Thus said the LORD unto me: 'Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.'
2我就照着耶和華的話，買了一根帶子束腰。
2So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it upon my loins.
3耶和華的話第二次臨到我說：
3And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying:
4「要拿着你所買的腰帶，就是你腰上的帶子，起來往 幼發拉底河 去，將腰帶藏在那裏的磐石穴中。」
4'Take the girdle that thou hast gotten, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.'
5我就去，照着耶和華所吩咐我的，將腰帶藏在 幼發拉底河 邊。
5So I went, and hid it in Perath, as the LORD commanded me.
6過了多日，耶和華對我說：「你起來往 幼發拉底河 去，將我吩咐你藏在那裏的腰帶取出來。」
6And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me: 'Arise, go to Perath, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.'
7我就往 幼發拉底河 去，將腰帶從我所藏的地方刨出來，見腰帶已經變壞，毫無用了。
7Then I went to Perath, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8耶和華的話臨到我說：
8Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
9「耶和華如此說：我必照樣敗壞 猶大 的驕傲和 耶路撒冷 的大驕傲。
9Thus saith the LORD: After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem,
10這惡民不肯聽我的話，按自己頑梗的心而行，隨從別神，事奉敬拜，他們也必像這腰帶變為無用。」
10even this evil people, that refuse to hear My words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, that it be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.
11耶和華說：「腰帶怎樣緊貼人腰，照樣，我也使 以色列 全家和 猶大 全家緊貼我，好叫他們屬我為子民，使我得名聲，得頌讚，得榮耀；他們卻不肯聽。」
11For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto Me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD, that they might be unto Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hearken.
12「所以你要對他們說：『耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：各罈都要盛滿了酒。』他們必對你說：『我們豈不確知各罈都要盛滿了酒呢？』
12Moreover thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Every bottle is filled with wine'; and when they shall say unto thee: 'Do we not know that every bottle is filled with wine?'
13你就要對他們說：『耶和華如此說：我必使這地的一切居民，就是坐 大衛 寶座的君王和祭司，與先知，並 耶路撒冷 的一切居民，都酩酊大醉。』」
13Then shalt thou say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14耶和華說：「我要使他們彼此相碰，就是父與子彼此相碰；我必不可憐，不顧惜，不憐憫，以致滅絕他們。」
14And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD; I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.
15你們當聽，當側耳而聽。 不要驕傲，因為耶和華已經說了。
15Hear ye, and give ear, be not proud; for the LORD hath spoken.
16耶和華－你們的上帝未使黑暗來到， 你們的腳未在昏暗山上絆跌之先， 當將榮耀歸給他； 免得你們盼望光明， 他使光明變為死蔭， 成為幽暗。
16Give glory to the LORD your God, before it grow dark, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight, and, while ye look for light, He turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
17你們若不聽這話， 我必因 你們的 驕傲在暗地哭泣； 我眼必痛哭流淚， 因為耶和華的群眾被擄去了。
17But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.
18你要對君王和太后說： 你們當自卑，坐在下邊； 因你們的頭巾， 就是你們的華冠，已經脫落了。
18Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother: 'Sit ye down low; for your headtires are come down, even your beautiful crown.'
19南方的城盡都關閉， 無人開放； 猶大 全被擄掠， 且擄掠淨盡。
19The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them; Judah is carried away captive all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.
20你們要舉目觀看從北方來的人。 先前賜給你的群眾， 就是你佳美的群眾， 如今在哪裏呢？
20Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
21耶和華立你自己所交的朋友為首，轄制你， 那時你還有甚麼話說呢？ 痛苦豈不將你抓住像產難的婦人嗎？
21What wilt thou say, when He shall set the friends over thee as head, whom thou thyself hast trained against thee? Shall not pangs take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
22你若心裏說：這一切事為何臨到我呢？ 你的衣襟揭起， 你的腳跟受傷， 是因你的罪孽甚多。
22And if thou say in thy heart: 'Wherefore are these things befallen me?' — for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.
23古實 人豈能改變皮膚呢？ 豹豈能改變斑點呢？ 若能，你們這習慣行惡的便能行善了。
23Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24所以我必用曠野的風吹散他們， 像吹過的碎稭一樣。
24Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25耶和華說：這是你所當得的， 是我量給你的分； 因為你忘記我， 倚靠虛假。
25This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from Me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten Me, and trusted in falsehood.
26所以我要揭起你的衣襟， 蒙在你臉上， 顯出你的醜陋。
26Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear.
27你那些可憎惡之事－ 就是在田野的山上行姦淫， 發嘶聲，做淫亂的事－ 我都看見了。 耶路撒冷 啊，你有禍了！ 你不肯潔淨，還要到幾時呢？
27Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy harlotry, on the hills in the field have I seen thy detestable acts. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean! When shall it ever be?
