Jeremiah 15
1 Then said the LORD unto me: 'Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, yet My mind could not be toward this people; cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth.
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 And it shall come to pass, when they say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? then thou shall tell them: Thus saith the LORD: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are 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 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to 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 And I will cause them to be a horror among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he 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 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? Or who shall bemoan thee? Or who shall turn aside to ask of thy 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 Thou hast cast Me off, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward; Therefore do I stretch out My hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
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 And I fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I bereave them of children, I destroy My people, since they return not 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 Their widows are increased to Me above the sand of the seas; I bring upon them, against the mother, a chosen one, even a spoiler at noonday; I cause anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.
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 She that hath borne seven languisheth; her spirit droopeth; her sun is gone down while it was yet day, she is ashamed and confounded; and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.'
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 is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them doth curse 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: 'Verily I will release thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
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 iron break iron from the north and brass?
人岂能将铜与铁，就是北方的铁折断呢？）
13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy 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 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in My nostril, which shall burn upon 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 Thou, O LORD, knowest; Remember me, and think of me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away because of Thy long-suffering; know that for Thy sake I have suffered taunts.
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 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart; because Thy name was called on me, 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 sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of Thy hand; for Thou hast 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 perpetual, and my wound incurable, so that it refuseth to be healed? Wilt Thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?
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 thus saith the LORD: If thou return, and I bring thee back, thou shalt stand before Me; and if thou bring forth the precious out of the vile, thou shalt be as My mouth; let them return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto 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 And I will make thee unto this people a fortified brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith 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 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
我必搭救你脱离恶人的手， 救赎你脱离强暴人的手。
