< 耶利米書 16 >

1 上主的話傳給說:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 「在這地方,你不要取妻,不要有兒女,
Not you must take for yourself a wife and not they will belong to you sons and daughters in the place this.
3 因為上主關於生在這地方的子女,和這境內生育他們的母親,以及生養他們的父親這樣說:
For thus - he says Yahweh on the sons and on the daughters born in the place this and on mothers their who bore them and on fathers their who fathered them in the land this.
4 「他們必死於死症,沒有人哀悼,沒有人掩埋,有如地面上的糞土。他們反為戰爭和饑荒所毀滅,他們的屍首,必成為天上飛鳥和地上野獸的食物」。
Deaths of diseases they will die not they will be mourned and not they will be buried dung on [the] surface of the ground they will become and by the sword and by famine they will come to an end and it will become corpse[s] their food for [the] bird[s] of the heavens and for [the] animal[s] of the earth.
5 因為上主這樣說:「你不要進入居喪者之家,去舉哀弔唁,因為我已由這人民撤回了我的平安、慈愛和憐憫──上主的斷語──
For thus - he says Yahweh may not you enter a house of mourning and may not you go to lament and may not you show sympathy to them for I have withdrawn peace my from with the people this [the] utterance of Yahweh the covenant loyalty and compassion.
6 無論大小都要死在這地方,無人掩埋,
And they will die great [people] and insignificant [people] in the land this not they will be buried and not people will mourn for them and not anyone will cut himself and not anyone will make himself bald for them.
7 沒有人為他們舉喪,沒有人與居喪者分食喪餅,以相弔慰;沒有人與居喪或父母者飲一杯慰唁酒。
And not people will break for them on mourning to comfort him on a dead [person] and not people will give to drink them a cup of consolations on father his and on mother his.
8 有宴會的家,你 也不要進去,與他們一同坐下吃喝,
And a house of a feast not you must go to sit with them to eat and to drink.
9 因為萬軍的上主,以色列的天主這樣說:看,我必在你們眼前,在你們的時日內,使這地方再也聽不到歡和喜樂的聲音,新郎和新娘的聲音。
For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to cause to cease from the place this to eyes your and in days your [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride.
10 當你把這一切話告訴這人民,他們必問你說:為什麼上主對我們宣佈了這一切大災禍﹖我們有什麼過犯,我們有什麼罪惡干犯了上主我們的天主﹖
And it will be that you will tell to the people this all the words these and they will say to you concerning what? has he spoken Yahweh on us all the calamity great this and what? [is] iniquity our and what? [is] sin our which we have sinned to Yahweh God our.
11 你就答應說:是因為你的祖先離棄了我──上主的斷語──跟隨了別的神祗,事奉朝拜,而背棄了我,沒有遵守我的法律。
And you will say to them on that they forsook ancestors your me [the] utterance of Yahweh and they walked after gods other and they served them and they bowed down to them and me they forsook and law my not they kept.
12 至於你們,你們作惡更甚於你的祖先;看,你們各人隨從自己頑固的惡意生活,不聽從我;
And you you have done evil to act more than ancestors your and here you [are] walking everyone after [the] stubbornness of own heart his wicked to not to listen to me.
13 所以我必從這地上將你們驅逐,到你們和你的祖先從不認識的地方去,讓你們在那裏日夜事奉別的神祗;我再也不對你們表示憐愛。
And I will throw out you from on the land this to the land which not you have known you and ancestors your and you will serve there gods other by day and night that not I will give to you favor.
14 [為此,看,時日必將來臨──上主的斷語──人不再發誓說:領以色列子民由埃及地上來的「上主永在」,
Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be said again [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt.
15 卻要說:領以色列子民由北方,並由衪驅逐他們所至的各地回來的「上主永在」;因為我必領他們回到我已賜給他們祖先的地方]。
That except [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up [the] people of Israel from a land of [the] north and from all the lands where he had banished them there towards and I will bring back them to land their which I gave to ancestors their.
16 看,我必派許多漁夫上主的斷語──來捕捉他們;以後,我又派許多獵人來, 8各山上,各丘陵和岩石的裂縫間,獵取他們,
Here I [am] about to send (for fishermen *Q(K)*) many [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will fish out them and after thus I will send for many hunters and they will hunt them from on every mountain and from on every hill and from [the] clefts of the rocks.
17 因為我的眼注視他們的一切行徑,他們不能由我面前隱藏,他們的過犯在我眼前也不能隱藏。
For eyes my [are] on all ways their not they have been hidden from to before me and not it has been concealed iniquity their from before eyes my.
18 我首先先要加倍報復他們的過犯和罪惡,因為他們以死屍般的偶像玷污了我的土地,使我的的基業上滿是醜惡的神像」。
And I will repay first [the] double of iniquity their and sin their because have profaned they land my with [the] corpse[s] of detestable things their and abominations their they have filled inheritance my.
19 上主,我的力量,我的保障,我憂患之日的避難所,萬民必從地極來到你面前說:「我們的祖先承受的只是虛假、空虛和毫無益處的事」。
O Yahweh strength my and stronghold my and place of escape my in a day of trouble to you nations they will come from [the] ends of [the] earth so they may say surely falsehood they possessed ancestors our futility and not [there was] in them a [thing that] profits.
20 人豈能為自己製造神祗﹖凡製造的,絕不是神!
¿ Will he make for himself anyone gods and they not [are] God.
21 為此,看,我必叫他們知道,這此我必叫他們體驗我的手和我的能力,使他們知道我的名字是「上主」。
Therefore here I [am] about to make know them at the time this I will make know them hand my and might my and they will know that name my [is] Yahweh.
