< 耶利米书 19 >
1 耶和华如此说:“你去买窑匠的瓦瓶,又带百姓中的长老和祭司中的长老,
The Lord seith these thingis, Go thou, and take an erthene potel of a pottere, of the eldre men of the puple, and of the eldre men of preestis.
2 出去到欣嫩子谷、哈珥西的门口那里,宣告我所吩咐你的话,
And go thou out to the valei of the sones of Ennon, which is bisidis the entring of the erthene yate; and there thou schalt preche the wordis whiche Y schal speke to thee;
3 说:‘犹大君王和耶路撒冷的居民哪,当听耶和华的话。万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:我必使灾祸临到这地方,凡听见的人都必耳鸣;
and thou schalt seie, Kyngis of Juda, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem, here ye the word of the Lord. The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bringe in turment on this place, so that ech man that herith it, hise eeris tyngle.
4 因为他们和他们列祖,并犹大君王离弃我,将这地方看为平常,在这里向素不认识的别神烧香,又使这地方满了无辜人的血,
For thei han forsake me, and maad alien this place, and offriden sacrifices to alien goddis ther ynne, whiche thei, and the fadris of hem, and the kingis of Juda, knewen not; and thei filliden this place with the blood of innocentis,
5 又建筑巴力的邱坛,好在火中焚烧自己的儿子,作为燔祭献给巴力。这不是我所吩咐的,不是我所提说的,也不是我心所起的意。
and bildiden hiy thingis to Baalym, to brenne her sones in fier, in to brent sacrifice to Baalym; whiche thingis Y comaundide not, nether spak, nether tho stieden in to myn herte.
6 耶和华说:因此,日子将到,这地方不再称为陀斐特和欣嫩子谷,反倒称为杀戮谷。
Therfor the Lord seith, Lo! daies comen, and this place schal no more be clepid Tophet, and the valei of the sone of Ennon, but the valei of sleyng.
7 我必在这地方使犹大和耶路撒冷的计谋落空,也必使他们在仇敌面前倒于刀下,并寻索其命的人手下。他们的尸首,我必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物。
And Y schal distrie the councel of Juda and of Jerusalem in this place, and Y schal distrie hem bi swerd, in the siyt of her enemyes, and in the hond of men sekynge the lyues of hem; and Y schal yyue her deed bodies mete to the briddis of the eir, and to beestis of erthe.
8 我必使这城令人惊骇嗤笑;凡经过的人,必因这城所遭的灾惊骇嗤笑。
And Y schal sette this citee in to wondring, and in to hissing; ech that passith bi it, schal wondre, and hisse on al the veniaunce therof.
9 我必使他们在围困窘迫之中,就是仇敌和寻索其命的人窘迫他们的时候,各人吃自己儿女的肉和朋友的肉。’
And Y schal feede hem with the fleischis of her sones, and with the fleischis of her douytris; and ech man schal ete the fleischis of his frend in the bisegyng and angwisch, in which the enemyes of hem, and thei that seken the lyues of hem, schulen close hem togidere.
And thou schalt al to-breke the potel bifore the iyen of the men, that schulen go with thee.
11 对他们说:‘万军之耶和华如此说:我要照样打碎这民和这城,正如人打碎窑匠的瓦器,以致不能再囫囵。并且人要在陀斐特葬埋尸首,甚至无处可葬。
And thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, So Y schal al to-breke this puple, and this citee, as the vessel of a pottere is al to-brokun, which mai no more be restorid; and thei schulen be biried in Tophet, for noon other place is to birie.
12 耶和华说:我必向这地方和其中的居民如此行,使这城与陀斐特一样。
So Y schal do to this place, seith the Lord, and to dwelleris therof, that Y sette this citee as Tophet.
13 耶路撒冷的房屋和犹大君王的宫殿是已经被玷污的,就是他们在其上向天上的万象烧香、向别神浇奠祭的宫殿房屋,都必与陀斐特一样。’”
And the housis of Jerusalem, and the housis of the kingis of Juda, schulen be as the place of Tophet; alle the vncleene housis, in whose roouys thei sacrifieden to al the chyualrie of heuene, and offriden moist sacrifices to alien goddis.
14 耶利米从陀斐特—就是耶和华差他去说预言的地方—回来,站在耶和华殿的院中,对众人说:
Forsothe Jeremye cam fro Tophet, whidur the Lord hadde sente hym for to profesie; and he stood in the porche of the hous of the Lord,
15 “万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:我必使我所说的一切灾祸临到这城和属城的一切城邑,因为他们硬着颈项不听我的话。”
and seide to al the puple, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bringe in on this citee, and on alle the citees therof, alle the yuelis whiche Y spak ayens it; for thei maden hard her nol, that thei herden not my wordis.
