< 耶利米书 15 >

1 耶和华对我说:“虽有摩西和撒母耳站在我面前代求,我的心也不顾惜这百姓。你将他们从我眼前赶出,叫他们去吧!
Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 他们问你说:‘我们往哪里去呢?’你便告诉他们,耶和华如此说: 定为死亡的,必致死亡; 定为刀杀的,必交刀杀; 定为饥荒的,必遭饥荒; 定为掳掠的,必被掳掠。”
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword; and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the captivity, to the captivity.
3 耶和华说:“我命定四样害他们,就是刀剑杀戮、狗类撕裂、空中的飞鸟,和地上的野兽吞吃毁灭;
And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 又必使他们在天下万国中抛来抛去,都因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷所行的事。”
And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for [that] which he did in Jerusalem.
5 耶路撒冷啊,谁可怜你呢? 谁为你悲伤呢? 谁转身问你的安呢?
For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
6 耶和华说:你弃绝了我, 转身退后; 因此我伸手攻击你,毁坏你。 我后悔甚不耐烦。
Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
7 我在境内各城门口, 用簸箕簸了我的百姓, 使他们丧掉儿女。 我毁灭他们, 他们仍不转离所行的道。
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they return not from their ways.
8 他们的寡妇在我面前比海沙更多; 我使灭命的午间来, 攻击少年人的母亲, 使痛苦惊吓忽然临到她身上。
Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
9 生过七子的妇人力衰气绝; 尚在白昼,日头忽落; 她抱愧蒙羞。 其余的人, 我必在他们敌人跟前,交与刀剑。 这是耶和华说的。
She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
10 我的母亲哪,我有祸了!因你生我作为遍地相争相竞的人。我素来没有借贷与人,人也没有借贷与我,人人却都咒骂我。
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.
11 耶和华说:“我必要坚固你,使你得好处。灾祸苦难临到的时候,我必要使仇敌央求你。(
The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee [well] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 人岂能将铜与铁,就是北方的铁折断呢?)
Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
13 “我必因你在四境之内所犯的一切罪,把你的货物财宝当掠物,白白地交给仇敌。
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and [that] for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 我也必使仇敌带这掠物到你所不认识的地去,因我怒中起的火要将你们焚烧。”
And I will make [thee] to pass with thine enemies into a land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, [which] shall burn upon you.
15 耶和华啊,你是知道的; 求你记念我,眷顾我, 向逼迫我的人为我报仇; 不要向他们忍怒取我的命, 要知道我为你的缘故受了凌辱。
O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 耶和华—万军之 神啊, 我得着你的言语就当食物吃了; 你的言语是我心中的欢喜快乐, 因我是称为你名下的人。
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
17 我没有坐在宴乐人的会中, 也没有欢乐; 我因你的感动独自静坐, 因你使我满心愤恨。
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18 我的痛苦为何长久不止呢? 我的伤痕为何无法医治、不能痊愈呢? 难道你待我有诡诈,像流干的河道吗?
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?
19 耶和华如此说:你若归回, 我就将你再带来, 使你站在我面前; 你若将宝贵的和下贱的分别出来, 你就可以当作我的口。 他们必归向你, 你却不可归向他们。
Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20 我必使你向这百姓成为坚固的铜墙; 他们必攻击你,却不能胜你; 因我与你同在,要拯救你,搭救你。 这是耶和华说的。
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
21 我必搭救你脱离恶人的手, 救赎你脱离强暴人的手。
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
