Jeremiah 7
1 The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
2 Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
“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。
3 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place.
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。
4 Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.
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！’
5 For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour,
“你们若实在改正行动作为，在人和邻舍中间诚然施行公平，
6 And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,
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，
7 Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer.
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。
8 Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.
“看哪，你们倚靠虚谎无益的话。
9 Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?
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，
10 And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?
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？
11 Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.
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。
12 But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel.
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。”
13 Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).
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。
14 Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.
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。
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.
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。”
16 Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.
“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。
17 Seest thou not what they doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
他们在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上所行的，你没有看见吗？
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.
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。”
19 Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lord, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?
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？”
20 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.
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。”
21 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
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！
22 For I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings and sacrifices.
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。
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be well vnto you.
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。’
24 But they would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.
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。
25 Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.
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。
26 Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke and did worse then their fathers.
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。
27 Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.
“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。
28 But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone out of their mouth.
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。”
29 Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lord hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
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。
30 For the children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lord: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute it.
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。
31 And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
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。”
32 Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.
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；
33 And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie them away.
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。
34 Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom and the voice of the bride: for the lande shalbe desolate.
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。”
