Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, sayeth the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the Kings of Iudah, and the bones of their princes, and the bones of the Priests and the bones of the Prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Ierusalem out of their graues.
耶和华说：“到那时，人必将犹大王的骸骨和他首领的骸骨、祭司的骸骨、先知的骸骨，并耶路撒冷居民的骸骨，都从坟墓中取出来，
2 And they shall spread them before the sunne and the moone, and all the host of heauen, whom they haue loued, and whome they haue serued, and whome they haue followed, and whome they haue sought, and whome they haue worshipped: they shall not be gathered nor be buried, but shall be as doung vpon the earth.
抛散在日头、月亮，和天上众星之下，就是他们从前所喜爱、所事奉、所随从、所求问、所敬拜的。这些骸骨不再收殓，不再葬埋，必在地面上成为粪土；
3 And death shall bee desired rather then life of all the residue that remaineth of this wicked familie, which remaine in all the places where I haue scattered them, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
并且这恶族所剩下的民在我所赶他们到的各处，宁可拣死不拣生。这是万军之耶和华说的。”
4 Thou shalt say vnto them also, Thus sayeth the Lord, Shall they fall and not arise? shall he turne away and not turne againe?
你要对他们说，耶和华如此说： 人跌倒，不再起来吗？ 人转去，不再转来吗？
5 Wherefore is this people of Ierusalem turned backe by a perpetuall rebellion? they gaue themselues to deceit, and would not returne.
这耶路撒冷的民，为何恒久背道呢？ 他们守定诡诈，不肯回头。
6 I hearkened and heard, but none spake aright: no man repented him of his wickednesse, saying, What haue I done? euery one turned to their race, as the horse rusheth into the battell.
我留心听，听见他们说不正直的话。 无人悔改恶行，说： 我做的是什么呢？ 他们各人转奔己路， 如马直闯战场。
7 Euen the storke in the aire knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle and the crane and the swallowe obserue the time of their comming, but my people knoweth not the iudgement of the Lord.
空中的鹳鸟知道来去的定期； 斑鸠燕子与白鹤也守候当来的时令； 我的百姓却不知道耶和华的法则。
8 Howe doe yee say, Wee are wise, and the Lawe of the Lord is with vs? Loe, certeinly in vaine made hee it, the penne of the scribes is in vaine.
你们怎么说：我们有智慧， 耶和华的律法在我们这里？ 看哪，文士的假笔舞弄虚假。
9 The wise men are ashamed: they are afraid and taken. loe, they haue reiected the word of the Lord, and what wisdome is in them?
智慧人惭愧，惊惶，被擒拿； 他们弃掉耶和华的话， 心里还有什么智慧呢？
10 Therefore will I giue their wiues vnto others, and their fieldes to them that shall possesse them: for euery one from the least euen vnto the greatest is giuen to couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, euery one dealeth falsely.
所以我必将他们的妻子给别人， 将他们的田地给别人为业； 因为他们从最小的到至大的都一味地贪婪， 从先知到祭司都行事虚谎。
11 For they haue healed the hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
他们轻轻忽忽地医治我百姓的损伤，说： 平安了！平安了！ 其实没有平安。
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore shall they fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayeth the Lord.
他们行可憎的事知道惭愧吗？ 不然，他们毫不惭愧， 也不知羞耻。 因此他们必在仆倒的人中仆倒； 我向他们讨罪的时候， 他们必致跌倒。 这是耶和华说的。
13 I wil surely consume them, sayth the Lord: there shalbe no grapes on the vine, nor figges on the figtree, and the leafe shall fade, and the things that I haue giuen them, shall depart from them.
耶和华说：我必使他们全然灭绝； 葡萄树上必没有葡萄， 无花果树上必没有果子， 叶子也必枯干。 我所赐给他们的， 必离开他们过去。
14 Why doe we stay? assemble your selues, and let vs enter into the strong cities, and let vs be quiet there: for the Lord our God hath put vs to silence and giuen vs water with gall to drinke, because we haue sinned against the Lord.
我们为何静坐不动呢？ 我们当聚集，进入坚固城， 在那里静默不言； 因为耶和华—我们的 神使我们静默不言， 又将苦胆水给我们喝， 都因我们得罪了耶和华。
15 We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold troubles.
我们指望平安， 却得不着好处； 指望痊愈的时候， 不料，受了惊惶。
16 The neying of his horses was heard from Dan, the whole lande trembled at the noyse of the neying of his strong horses: for they are come, and haue deuoured the land with all that is in it, the citie, and those that dwell therein.
听见从但那里敌人的马喷鼻气， 他的壮马发嘶声， 全地就都震动； 因为他们来吞灭这地和其上所有的， 吞灭这城与其中的居民。
17 For beholde, I will sende serpents, and cockatrices among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall sting you, sayth the Lord.
看哪，我必使毒蛇到你们中间， 是不服法术的， 必咬你们。 这是耶和华说的。
18 I would haue comforted my selfe against sorowe, but mine heart is heauie in me.
我有忧愁，愿能自慰； 我心在我里面发昏。
19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people for feare of them of a farre countrey, Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why haue they prouoked mee to anger with their grauen images, and with the vanities of a strange god?
听啊，是我百姓的哀声从极远之地而来， 说：耶和华不在锡安吗？ 锡安的王不在其中吗？ 耶和华说：他们为什么以雕刻的偶像 和外邦虚无的神惹我发怒呢？
20 The haruest is past, the sommer is ended, and we are not holpen.
麦秋已过，夏令已完， 我们还未得救！
21 I am sore vexed for the hurt of ye daughter of my people: I am heauie, and astonishment hath taken me.
先知说：因我百姓的损伤， 我也受了损伤。 我哀痛，惊惶将我抓住。
22 Is there no balme at Gilead? is there no Physition there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recouered.
在基列岂没有乳香呢？ 在那里岂没有医生呢？ 我百姓为何不得痊愈呢？
