< 耶利米书 12 >

1 耶和华啊,我与你争辩的时候, 你显为义; 但有一件,我还要与你理论: 恶人的道路为何亨通呢? 大行诡诈的为何得安逸呢?
Forsothe, Lord, thou art iust; if Y dispute with thee, netheles Y schal speke iust thingis to thee. Whi hath the weie of wickid men prosperite? It is wel to alle men that breken the lawe, and doen wickidli?
2 你栽培了他们, 他们也扎了根, 长大,而且结果。 他们的口是与你相近, 心却与你远离。
Thou hast plauntid hem, and thei senten roote; thei encreessen, and maken fruyt; thou art niy to the mouth of hem, and fer fro the reynes of hem.
3 耶和华啊,你晓得我,看见我, 察验我向你是怎样的心。 求你将他们拉出来, 好像将宰的羊, 叫他们等候杀戮的日子。
And thou, Lord, hast knowe me, thou hast seyn me, and hast preued myn herte with thee. Gadere thou hem togidere as a flok to slayn sacrifice, and halewe thou hem in the dai of sleyng.
4 这地悲哀, 通国的青草枯干,要到几时呢? 因其上居民的恶行, 牲畜和飞鸟都灭绝了。 他们曾说:他看不见我们的结局。
Hou long schal the erthe mourne, and ech eerbe of the feeld schal be dried, for the malice of hem that dwellen ther ynne? A beeste is wastid, and a brid, for thei seiden, The Lord schal not se oure laste thingis.
5 耶和华说:你若与步行的人同跑, 尚且觉累, 怎能与马赛跑呢? 你在平安之地,虽然安稳, 在约旦河边的丛林要怎样行呢?
If thou trauelist rennynge with foot men, hou schalt thou mow stryue with horsis? but whanne thou art sikur in the lond of pees, what schalt thou do in the pride of Jordan?
6 因为连你弟兄和你父家都用奸诈待你。 他们也在你后边大声喊叫, 虽向你说好话, 你也不要信他们。
For whi bothe thi britheren and the hous of thi fadir, yhe, thei fouyten ayens thee, and crieden with ful vois aftir thee; bileue thou not to hem, whanne thei speken goodis to thee.
7 我离了我的殿宇, 撇弃我的产业, 将我心里所亲爱的交在她仇敌的手中。
I haue left myn hous, Y haue forsake myn eritage; Y yaf my loued soule in to the hondis of enemyes therof.
8 我的产业向我如林中的狮子, 她发声攻击我, 因此我恨恶她。
Myn eritage is maad as a lioun in the wode to me; it yaf vois ayens me, therfor Y hate it.
9 我的产业向我岂如斑点的鸷鸟呢? 鸷鸟岂在她四围攻击她呢? 你们要去聚集田野的百兽, 带来吞吃吧!
Whether myn eritage is a brid of dyuerse colours to me? whether it is a brid died thorou out? Alle beestis of the feeld, come ye, be ye gaderid togidere; haste ye for to deuoure.
10 许多牧人毁坏我的葡萄园, 践踏我的分, 使我美好的分变为荒凉的旷野。
Many scheepherdis distrieden my vyner, defouliden my part, yauen my desirable porcioun in to desert of wildirnesse;
11 他们使地荒凉; 地既荒凉,便向我悲哀。 全地荒凉,因无人介意。
thei settiden it in to scateryng, and it mourenyde on me; al the lond is desolat bi desolacioun, for noon is that ayenthenkith in herte.
12 灭命的都来到旷野中一切净光的高处; 耶和华的刀从地这边直到地那边尽行杀灭。 凡有血气的都不得平安。
Alle distrieris of the lond camen on alle the weies of desert, for the swerd of the Lord schal deuoure fro the laste part of the lond `til to the laste part therof; no pees is to al fleisch.
13 他们种的是麦子, 收的是荆棘; 劳劳苦苦却毫无益处。 因耶和华的烈怒, 你们必为自己的土产羞愧。
Thei sowiden wheete, and repiden thornes; thei token erytage, and it schal not profite to hem. Ye schulen be schent of youre fruytis, for the wraththe of the stronge veniaunce of the Lord.
14 耶和华如此说:“一切恶邻,就是占据我使百姓以色列所承受产业的,我要将他们拔出本地,又要将犹大家从他们中间拔出来。
The Lord seith these thingis ayens alle my worst neiyboris, that touchen the eritage which Y departide to my puple Israel, Lo! Y schal drawe hem out of her lond, and Y schal drawe the hous of Juda out of the myddis of hem.
15 我拔出他们以后,我必转过来怜悯他们,把他们再带回来,各归本业,各归故土。
And whanne Y schal drawe out thilke Jewis, Y schal conuerte, and haue merci on hem; and Y schal lede hem ayen, a man to his eritage, and a man in to his lond.
16 他们若殷勤学习我百姓的道,指着我的名起誓说:‘我指着永生的耶和华起誓’,正如他们从前教我百姓指着巴力起誓,他们就必建立在我百姓中间。
And it schal be, if thei `that ben tauyt lernen the weies of my puple, that thei swere in my name, The Lord lyueth, as thei tauyten my puple to swere in Baal, thei schulen be bildid in the myddis of my puple.
17 他们若是不听,我必拔出那国,拔出而且毁灭。这是耶和华说的。”
That if thei heren not, Y schal drawe out that folk by drawyng out and perdicioun, seith the Lord.
