耶利米書 9
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1但願我的頭為水， 我的眼為淚的泉源， 我好為我百姓中被殺的人晝夜哭泣。
1Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? and I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
2惟願我在曠野有行路人住宿之處， 使我可以離開我的民出去； 因他們都是行姦淫的， 是行詭詐的一黨。
2Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, and I will leave my people, and depart from them? because they are all adulterers, an assembly of transgressors.
3他們彎起舌頭像弓一樣， 為要說謊話。 他們在國中增長勢力， 不是為行誠實， 乃是惡上加惡， 並不認識我。 這是耶和華說的。
3And they have bent their tongue, as a bow, for lies, and not for truth: they have strengthened themselves upon the earth, for they have proceeded from evil to evil, and me they have not known, saith the Lord.
4你們各人當謹防鄰舍， 不可信靠弟兄； 因為弟兄盡行欺騙， 鄰舍都往來讒謗人。
4Let every man take heed of his neighbor, and let his not trust in any brother of his: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every friend will walk deceitfully.
5他們各人欺哄鄰舍，不說真話； 他們教舌頭學習說謊， 勞勞碌碌地作孽。
5And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity.
6你的住處在詭詐的人中； 他們因行詭詐，不肯認識我。 這是耶和華說的。
6Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.
7所以萬軍之耶和華如此說： 看哪，我要將他們鎔化熬煉； 不然，我因我百姓 的罪 該怎樣行呢？
7Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?
8他們的舌頭是毒箭，說話詭詐； 人與鄰舍口說和平話， 心卻謀害他。
8Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.
9耶和華說：我豈不因這些事討他們的罪呢？ 豈不報復這樣的國民呢？
9Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
10我要為山嶺哭泣悲哀， 為曠野的草場揚聲哀號； 因為都已乾焦，甚至無人經過。 人也聽不見牲畜鳴叫， 空中的飛鳥和 地上的 野獸都已逃去。
10For the mountains I will take up weeping and lamentation, and for the beautiful places of the desert, mourning: because they are burnt up, for that there is not a man that passeth through them: and they have not heard the voice of the owner: from the fowl of the air to the beasts they are gone away and departed.
11我必使 耶路撒冷 變為亂堆，為野狗的住處， 也必使 猶大 的城邑變為荒場，無人居住。
11And I will make Jerusalem to be heaps of sand, and dens of dragons: and I will make the cities of Juda desolate, for want of an inhabitant.
12誰是智慧人，可以明白這事？耶和華的口向誰說過，使他可以傳說？遍地為何滅亡，乾焦好像曠野，甚至無人經過呢？
12Who is the wise man, that may understand this, and to whom the word of the mouth of the Lord may come that he may declare this, why the land hath perished, and is burnt up like a wilderness, which none passeth through?
13耶和華說：「因為這百姓離棄我在他們面前所設立的律法，沒有遵行，也沒有聽從我的話；
13And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.
14只隨從自己頑梗的心行事，照他們列祖所教訓的隨從眾 巴力 。」
14But they have gone after the perverseness of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
15所以萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：「看哪，我必將茵蔯給這百姓吃，又將苦膽水給他們喝。
15Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16我要把他們散在列邦中，就是他們和他們列祖素不認識的列邦。我也要使刀劍追殺他們，直到將他們滅盡。」
16And I will scatter them among the nations, which they and their fathers have not known: and I will send the sword after them till they be consumed.
17萬軍之耶和華如此說： 你們應當思想， 將 善 唱哀歌的婦女召來， 又打發人召善 哭 的婦女來，
17Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, and let them come: and send to them that are wise women, and let them make haste:
18叫她們速速為我們舉哀， 使我們眼淚汪汪， 使我們的眼皮湧出水來。
18Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.
19因為聽見哀聲出於 錫安 ， 說 ： 我們怎樣敗落了！ 我們大大地慚愧！ 我們撇下地土； 人也拆毀了我們的房屋。
19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.
20婦女們哪，你們當聽耶和華的話， 領受他口中的言語； 又當教導你們的兒女舉哀， 各人教導鄰舍唱哀歌。
20Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbor mourning.
21因為死亡上來， 進了我們的窗戶， 入了我們的宮殿； 要從外邊剪除孩童， 從街上剪除少年人。
21For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.
22你當說，耶和華如此說： 人的屍首必倒在田野像糞土， 又像收割的人遺落的一把 禾稼 ， 無人收取。
22Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Even the carcass of man shall fall as dung upon the face of the country, and as grass behind the back of the mower, and there is none to gather it.
23耶和華如此說：「智慧人不要因他的智慧誇口，勇士不要因他的勇力誇口，財主不要因他的財物誇口。
23Thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the strong man glory in his strength, and let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24誇口的卻因他有聰明，認識我是耶和華，又知道我喜悅在世上施行慈愛、公平，和公義，以此誇口。這是耶和華說的。」
24But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, for I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and justice in the earth: for these things please me, saith the Lord.
25耶和華說：「看哪，日子將到，我要刑罰一切受過割禮、 心 卻未受割禮的，
25Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit upon every one that hath the foreskin circumcised.
26就是 埃及 、 猶大 、 以東 、 亞捫 人、 摩押 人，和一切住在曠野剃周圍 頭髮 的；因為列國人都沒有受割禮， 以色列 人心中也沒有受割禮。」
26Upon Egypt, and upon Juda, and upon Edom, and upon the children of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all that have their hair polled round, that dwell in the desert: for all the nations are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
