Jeremiah 15
1 Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.
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！
2 If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
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。”
3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
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；
4 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
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。”
5 Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
耶路撒冷啊，谁可怜你呢？ 谁为你悲伤呢？ 谁转身问你的安呢？
6 You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
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。
7 I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.
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。
8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.
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。
9 The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,”
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。
10 Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
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。
11 The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
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。（
12 Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?
人岂能将铜与铁，就是北方的铁折断呢？）
13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.
“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。
14 Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
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。”
15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
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。
16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.
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。
17 I never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.
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。
18 Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
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？
19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
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。
20 Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
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。
21 I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
我必搭救你脱离恶人的手， 救赎你脱离强暴人的手。
