耶利米书 7
1 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
2 “你当站在耶和华殿的门口，在那里宣传这话说：你们进这些门敬拜耶和华的一切犹大人，当听耶和华的话。
“Stand at the gate to the house of the Lord, and preach this word there, and say: Listen to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who enter through these gates to adore the Lord.
3 万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：你们改正行动作为，我就使你们在这地方仍然居住。
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Make your ways and your intentions good, and I will live with you in this place.
4 你们不要倚靠虚谎的话，说：‘这些是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿！’
Do not choose to trust in lying words, saying: ‘This is the temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord!’
5 “你们若实在改正行动作为，在人和邻舍中间诚然施行公平，
For if you direct your ways and your intentions well, if you exercise judgment between a man and his neighbor,
6 不欺压寄居的和孤儿寡妇，在这地方不流无辜人的血，也不随从别神陷害自己，
if you do not act with deceit toward the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow, and if you do not pour out innocent blood in this place, and if you do not walk after strange gods, which is to your own harm,
7 我就使你们在这地方仍然居住，就是我古时所赐给你们列祖的地，直到永远。
then I will live with you in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from the beginning and even forever.
8 “看哪，你们倚靠虚谎无益的话。
Behold, you trust in false words, which will not benefit you,
9 你们偷盗，杀害，奸淫，起假誓，向巴力烧香，并随从素不认识的别神，
so as to steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer libations to Baal, and to go after strange gods, which you do not know.
10 且来到这称为我名下的殿，在我面前敬拜；又说：‘我们可以自由了。’你们这样的举动是要行那些可憎的事吗？
And you arrived and stood before me in this house, where my name is invoked, and you said: ‘We have been freed because we carried out all these abominations.’
11 这称为我名下的殿在你们眼中岂可看为贼窝吗？我都看见了。这是耶和华说的。
So then, has this house, where my name has been invoked, become a den of robbers in your eyes? It is I, I am, I have seen, says the Lord.
12 你们且往示罗去，就是我先前立为我名的居所，察看我因这百姓以色列的罪恶向那地所行的如何。”
Go to my place in Shiloh, where my name has lived from the beginning, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 耶和华说：“现在因你们行了这一切的事，我也从早起来警戒你们，你们却不听从；呼唤你们，你们却不答应。
And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and because I have spoken to you from your morning rising, and because I was speaking, but you were not listening, and because I have called you, but you have not responded:
14 所以我要向这称为我名下、你们所倚靠的殿，与我所赐给你们和你们列祖的地施行，照我从前向示罗所行的一样。
I will do to this house, in which my name is invoked, and in which you have confidence, even to this place which I gave to you and to your fathers, just as I have done to Shiloh.
15 我必将你们从我眼前赶出，正如赶出你们的众弟兄，就是以法莲的一切后裔。”
And I will cast you away from my face, just as I have cast away all your brothers, the entire offspring of Ephraim.
16 “所以，你不要为这百姓祈祷；不要为他们呼求祷告；也不要向我为他们祈求，因我不听允你。
Therefore, you should not pray for this people, nor take up praise and supplication on their behalf. And you should not stand in opposition to me. For then I will not heed you.
17 他们在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上所行的，你没有看见吗？
Have you not seen what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 孩子捡柴，父亲烧火，妇女抟面做饼，献给天后，又向别神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。”
The sons gather the wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the wives spread the grease, so as to make cakes to the queen of heaven and to offer libations to strange gods, and so as to provoke me to anger.
19 耶和华说：“他们岂是惹我发怒呢？不是自己惹祸，以致脸上惭愧吗？”
But are they provoking me to anger, says the Lord? Are they not provoking themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?”
20 所以主耶和华如此说：“看哪，我必将我的怒气和忿怒倾在这地方的人和牲畜身上，并田野的树木和地里的出产上，必如火着起，不能熄灭。”
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, my fury and my indignation is kindled against this place, over men and over beasts, and over the trees of the countryside and over the fruits of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.”
21 万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：“你们将燔祭加在平安祭上，吃肉吧！
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Add your holocausts to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
22 因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日，燔祭平安祭的事我并没有提说，也没有吩咐他们。
For concerning the matter of holocausts and sacrifices, I did not speak with your fathers, and I did not instruct them, in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt.
23 我只吩咐他们这一件说：‘你们当听从我的话，我就作你们的 神，你们也作我的子民。你们行我所吩咐的一切道，就可以得福。’
But on this matter I did instruct them, saying: Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. And walk in the entire way that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.
24 他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟随从自己的计谋和顽梗的恶心，向后不向前。
But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they walked by their own will and in the depravity of their own wicked heart. And so, they went backward, and not forward,
25 自从你们列祖出埃及地的那日，直到今日，我差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去，每日从早起来差遣他们。
from the day when their fathers went forth from the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent all my servants, the prophets, to you, throughout the day, rising at first light and sending them.
26 你们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项行恶，比你们列祖更甚。
But they have not listened to me, nor have they inclined their ear. Instead, they have stiffened their neck, and they have behaved worse than their fathers did.
27 “你要将这一切的话告诉他们，他们却不听从；呼唤他们，他们却不答应。
And so, you will speak to them all these words, but they will not listen to you. And you will call to them, but they will not respond to you.
28 你要对他们说：这就是不听从耶和华—他们 神的话、不受教训的国民；从他们的口中，诚实灭绝了。”
And you will say to them: This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor accepted discipline. Faith has perished and been taken away from their mouth.
29 耶路撒冷啊，要剪发抛弃， 在净光的高处举哀； 因为耶和华丢掉离弃了惹他忿怒的世代。
Cut off your hair, and cast it away. And take up a lamentation on high. For the Lord has cast aside and abandoned this generation of his fury.
30 耶和华说：“犹大人行我眼中看为恶的事，将可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中，污秽这殿。
For the sons of Judah have done evil in my eyes, says the Lord. They have stationed their abominations in the house where my name is invoked, so that they may defile it.
31 他们在欣嫩子谷建筑陀斐特的邱坛，好在火中焚烧自己的儿女。这并不是我所吩咐的，也不是我心所起的意。”
And they have built the exalted places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may burn their sons and their daughters with fire, something I neither instructed, nor thought in my heart.
32 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。因为要在陀斐特葬埋尸首，甚至无处可葬；
For this reason, behold, the days will arrive, says the Lord, when it will no longer be called Topheth, nor the Valley of the son of Hinnom, but instead the Valley of Slaughter. Yet they will bury in Topheth, because there will be no other place.
33 并且这百姓的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物，并无人哄赶。
And the corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the air and for the wild beasts of the land, and there will be no one to drive them away.
34 那时，我必使犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上，欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，都止息了，因为地必成为荒场。”
And from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, I will cause the cessation of the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride. For the land will be in utter desolation.”
