< 耶利米书 3 >

1 有话说:人若休妻, 妻离他而去,作了别人的妻, 前夫岂能再收回她来? 若收回她来,那地岂不是大大玷污了吗? 但你和许多亲爱的行邪淫, 还可以归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
It is seid comunli, If a man forsakith his wijf, and sche go awei fro hym, and be weddid to an othere hosebonde, whether he schal turne ayen more to hir? whether thilke womman schal not be defoulid, and maad vncleene? Forsothe thou hast do fornycacioun with many loueris; netheles turne thou ayen to me, `seith the Lord, and Y schal resseyue thee.
2 你向净光的高处举目观看, 你在何处没有淫行呢? 你坐在道旁等候, 好像阿拉伯人在旷野埋伏一样, 并且你的淫行邪恶玷污了全地。
Reise thin iyen in to streiyt, and se, where thou art not cast doun. Thou hast setun in weies, abidynge hem as a theef in wildirnesse, and thou hast defoulid the erthe in thi fornicaciouns and in thi malices.
3 因此甘霖停止, 春雨不降。 你还是有娼妓之脸, 不顾羞耻。
Wherfor the dropis of reynes weren forbodun, and no late reyn was. The forhed of a womman hoore is maad to thee; thou noldist be aschamed.
4 从今以后,你岂不向我呼叫说: 我父啊,你是我幼年的恩主。
Nameli fro this tyme forth clepe thou me, Thou art my fadir, the ledere of my virginyte.
5 耶和华岂永远怀怒,存留到底吗? 看哪,你又发恶言又行坏事, 随自己的私意而行。”
Whether thou schalt be wrooth with outen ende, ether schalt contynue in to the ende? Lo! thou hast spoke, and hast do yuels, and thou were myyti. And for wordis of penaunce thou blasfemydist bi wordis of pride; and thou fillidist thin yuel thouyt, and schewidist thi strengthe ayens thi hosebonde, that thou maist do that thing that thou tretidist bi word.
6 约西亚王在位的时候,耶和华又对我说:“背道的以色列所行的,你看见没有?她上各高山,在各青翠树下行淫。
And the Lord seide to me, in the daies of Josie, the kyng, Whether thou hast seyn what thing the aduersarie, Israel, hath do? Sche yede to hir silf on ech hiy hil, and vndur ech tre ful of boowis, and dide fornycacioun there.
7 她行这些事以后,我说她必归向我,她却不归向我。她奸诈的妹妹犹大也看见了。
And Y seide, whanne sche hadde do alle these thingis, Turne thou ayen to me; and sche turnede not ayen. And hir sistir, Juda, brekere of the lawe,
8 背道的以色列行淫,我为这缘故给她休书休她;我看见她奸诈的妹妹犹大,还不惧怕,也去行淫。
siy, that for the aduersarie, Israel, dide auowtrie, Y hadde left hir, and Y hadde youe to hir a libel of forsakyng; and Juda, hir sistir, brekere of the lawe, dredde not, but also sche yede, and dide fornycacioun.
9 因以色列轻忽了她的淫乱,和石头木头行淫,地就被玷污了。
And bi liytnesse of hir fornicacioun sche defoulide the erthe, and dide auowtrie with a stoon, and with a tree.
10 虽有这一切的事,她奸诈的妹妹犹大还不一心归向我,不过是假意归我。这是耶和华说的。”
And in alle these thingis hir sistir, Juda, brekere of the lawe, turnede not ayen to me, in al hir herte, but in a leesyng, seith the Lord God.
11 耶和华对我说:“背道的以色列比奸诈的犹大还显为义。
And the Lord seide to me, The aduersarie, Israel, hath iustified hir soule, in comparisoun of Juda, brekere of the lawe.
12 你去向北方宣告说: 耶和华说:背道的以色列啊,回来吧! 我必不怒目看你们; 因为我是慈爱的, 我必不永远存怒。 这是耶和华说的。
Go thou, and crye these wordis ayens the north; and thou schalt seie, Thou aduersarie, Israel, turne ayen, seith the Lord, and Y schal not turne awei my face fro you; for Y am hooli, seith the Lord, and Y schal not be wrooth with outen ende.
13 只要承认你的罪孽, 就是你违背耶和华—你的 神, 在各青翠树下向别神东奔西跑, 没有听从我的话。 这是耶和华说的。
Netheles knowe thou thi wickidnesse; for thou hast trespassid ayens thi Lord God, and thou hast spred abrood thi weies to aliens vndur ech tre ful of bowis; and thou herdist not my vois, seith the Lord.
14 耶和华说:背道的儿女啊,回来吧! 因为我作你们的丈夫, 并且我必将你们从一城取一人, 从一族取两人,带到锡安。
Be ye conuertid, sones, turnynge ayen, seith the Lord, for Y am youre hosebonde; and Y schal take you oon of a citee, and tweyne of a kynrede, and Y schal lede you in to Sion;
15 我也必将合我心的牧者赐给你们。他们必以知识和智慧牧养你们。”
and Y schal yyue to you scheepherdis after myn herte, and thei schulen feede you with kunnyng and teching.
16 耶和华说:“你们在国中生养众多;当那些日子,人必不再提说耶和华的约柜,不追想,不记念,不觉缺少,也不再制造。
And whanne ye schulen be multiplied, and encreesse in the lond, in tho daies, seith the Lord, thei schulen no more seie, The arke of testament of the Lord; nether it schal stie on the herte, nether thei schulen thenke on it, nether it schal be visitid, nether it schal be ferthere.
17 那时,人必称耶路撒冷为耶和华的宝座;万国必到耶路撒冷,在耶和华立名的地方聚集。他们必不再随从自己顽梗的恶心行事。
In that tyme thei schulen clepe Jerusalem The seete of the Lord, and alle hethene men schulen be gaderid togidere to it, in the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem; and thei schulen not go aftir the schrewidnesse of her worste herte.
18 当那些日子,犹大家要和以色列家同行,从北方之地一同来到我赐给你们列祖为业之地。”
In tho daies the hous of Juda schal go to the hous of Israel; and thei schulen come togidere fro the lond of the north to the lond which Y yaf to youre fadris.
19 我说:我怎样将你安置在儿女之中, 赐给你美地, 就是万国中肥美的产业。 我又说:你们必称我为父, 也不再转去不跟从我。
Forsothe Y seide, Hou schal Y sette thee among sones, and schal yyue to thee a desirable lond, a ful cleer eritage of the oostis of hethene men? And Y seide, Thou schalt clepe me fadir, and thou schalt not ceesse to entre aftir me.
20 以色列家,你们向我行诡诈, 真像妻子行诡诈离开她丈夫一样。 这是耶和华说的。
But as if a womman dispisith hir louyere, so the hous of Israel dispiside me, seith the Lord.
21 在净光的高处听见人声, 就是以色列人哭泣恳求之声, 乃因他们走弯曲之道, 忘记耶和华—他们的 神。
A vois is herd in weies, the weping and yellyng of the sones of Israel; for thei maden wickid her weie, thei foryaten her Lord God.
22 你们这背道的儿女啊,回来吧! 我要医治你们背道的病。 看哪,我们来到你这里, 因你是耶和华—我们的 神。
Be ye conuertid, sones, turnynge ayen, and Y schal heele youre turnyngis awei. Lo! we comen to thee; for thou art oure Lord God.
23 仰望从小山或从大山的喧嚷中得帮助, 真是枉然的。 以色列得救,诚然在乎耶和华—我们的 神。
Verili litil hillis weren lieris, the multitude of mounteyns was fals; verili in oure Lord God is the helthe of Israel.
24 从我们幼年以来,那可耻的偶像将我们列祖所劳碌得来的羊群、牛群,和他们的儿女都吞吃了。
Schenschipe eete the trauel of oure fadris, fro oure yongthe; schenschipe eet the flockis of hem, and the droues of hem, the sones of hem, and the douytris of hem.
25 我们在羞耻中躺卧吧!愿惭愧将我们遮盖;因为从立国以来,我们和我们的列祖常常得罪耶和华—我们的 神,没有听从耶和华—我们 神的话。
We schulen slepe in oure schenschipe, and oure sclaundir schal hile vs; for we synneden to oure Lord God, bothe we and oure fadris, fro oure yongthe `til to this dai; and we herden not the vois of oure Lord God.
