1The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremias concerning the words of the drought.
1耶和華論到乾旱 之災 的話臨到 耶利米 ：
2Judea hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen, and are become obscure on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
2猶大 悲哀，城門衰敗。 眾人披上黑衣坐在地上； 耶路撒冷 的哀聲上達。
3The great ones sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confounded and afflicted, and covered their heads.
3他們的貴冑打發家僮打水； 他們來到水池， 見沒有水，就拿着空器皿， 蒙羞慚愧，抱頭而回。
4For the destruction of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads.
4耕地的也蒙羞抱頭； 因為無雨降在地上， 地都乾裂。
5Yea, the hind also brought forth in the field, and left it, because there was no grass.
5田野的母鹿生下小鹿，就撇棄， 因為無草。
6And the wild asses stood upon the rocks, they snuffed up the wind like dragons, their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
6野驢站在淨光的高處，喘氣好像野狗； 因為無草，眼目失明。
7If our iniquities have testified against us, O Lord, do thou it for thy name’s sake, for our rebellions are many, we have sinned against thee.
7耶和華啊，我們的罪孽雖然作見證告我們， 還求你為你名的緣故行事。 我們本是多次背道，得罪了你。
8O expectation of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble: why wilt thou be a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?
8以色列 所盼望、在患難時作他救主的啊， 你為何在這地像寄居的， 又像行路的只住一宵呢？
9Why wilt thou be as a wandering man, as a mighty man that cannot save? but thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us, forsake us not.
9你為何像受驚的人， 像不能救人的勇士呢？ 耶和華啊，你仍在我們中間； 我們也稱為你名下的人， 求你不要離開我們。
10Thus saith the Lord to his people, that have loved to move their feet, and have not rested, and have not pleased the Lord: He will now remember their iniquities, and visit their sins.
10耶和華對這百姓如此說： 這百姓喜愛妄行， 不禁止腳步， 所以耶和華不悅納他們。 現今要記念他們的罪孽， 追討他們的罪惡。
11And the Lord said to me: Pray not for this people for their good.
11耶和華又對我說：「不要為這百姓祈禱求好處。
12When they fast I will not hear their prayers: and if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not receive them: for I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence.
12他們禁食的時候，我不聽他們的呼求；他們獻燔祭和素祭，我也不悅納；我卻要用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫滅絕他們。」
13And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, the prophets say to them: You shall not see the sword, and there shall be no famine among you, but he will give you true peace in this place.
13我就說：「唉！主耶和華啊，那些先知常對他們說：『你們必不看見刀劍，也不遭遇饑荒；耶和華要在這地方賜你們長久的平安。』」
14And the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination and deceit, and the seduction of their own heart.
14耶和華對我說：「那些先知託我的名說假預言，我並沒有打發他們，沒有吩咐他們，也沒有對他們說話；他們向你們預言的，乃是虛假的異象和占卜，並虛無的事，以及本心的詭詐。
15Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophecy in my name, whom I did not send, that say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
15所以耶和華如此說：論到託我名說預言的那些先知，我並沒有打發他們；他們還說這地不能有刀劍饑荒，其實那些先知必被刀劍饑荒滅絕。
16And the people to whom they prophecy, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and there shall be none to bury them: they and their wives, their sons and their daughters, and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
16聽他們說預言的百姓必因饑荒刀劍拋在 耶路撒冷 的街道上，無人葬埋。他們連妻子帶兒女，都是如此。我必將他們的惡倒在他們身上。」
17And thou shalt speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with a great affliction, with an exceeding grievous evil.
17你要將這話對他們說： 願我眼淚汪汪， 晝夜不息， 因為我百姓受了裂口破壞的大傷。
18If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine. The prophet also and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.
18我若出往田間， 就見有被刀殺的； 我若進入城內， 就見有因饑荒患病的； 連先知帶祭司在國中往來， 也是毫無知識。
19Hast thou utterly cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou struck us, so that there is no healing for us? we have looked for peace, and there is no good: and for the time of healing, and behold trouble.
19你全然棄掉 猶大 嗎？ 你心厭惡 錫安 嗎？ 為何擊打我們，以致無法醫治呢？ 我們指望平安，卻得不着好處； 指望痊癒，不料，受了驚惶。
20We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
20耶和華啊，我們承認自己的罪惡， 和我們列祖的罪孽， 因我們得罪了你。
21Give us not to be a reproach, for thy name’s sake, and do not disgrace in us the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
21求你為你名的緣故， 不厭惡我們， 不辱沒你榮耀的寶座。 求你追念， 不要背了與我們所立的約。
22Are there any among the graven things of the Gentiles that can send rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have looked for? for thou hast made all these things.
22外邦人虛無 的神 中有能降雨的嗎？ 天能自降甘霖嗎？ 耶和華－我們的上帝啊， 能如此的不是你嗎？ 所以，我們仍要等候你， 因為這一切都是你所造的。
