Jeremias 16
1 And you shall not take a wife, says the Lord God of Israel:
耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 and there shall be no son born to you, nor daughter in this place.
“你在这地方不可娶妻，生儿养女。
3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that have born them, and concerning their fathers that have begotten them in this land;
因为论到在这地方所生的儿女，又论到在这国中生养他们的父母，耶和华如此说：
4 They shall die of grievous death; they shall not be lamented, nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky: they shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.
他们必死得甚苦，无人哀哭，必不得葬埋，必在地上像粪土，必被刀剑和饥荒灭绝；他们的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物。”
5 Thus says the Lord, Enter not into their mourning feast, and go not to lament, and mourn not for them: for I have removed my peace from this people.
耶和华如此说：“不要进入丧家，不要去哀哭，也不要为他们悲伤，因我已将我的平安、慈爱、怜悯从这百姓夺去了。这是耶和华说的。
6 They shall not bewail them, nor make cuttings for them, and they shall not shave themselves [for them]:
连大带小，都必在这地死亡，不得葬埋。人必不为他们哀哭，不用刀划身，也不使头光秃。
7 and there shall be no bread broken in mourning for them for consolation over the dead: they shall not give one to drink a cup for consolation over his father or his mother.
他们有丧事，人必不为他们擘饼，因死人安慰他们；他们丧父丧母，人也不给他们一杯酒安慰他们。
8 You shall not enter into the banquet-house, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
你不可进入宴乐的家，与他们同坐吃喝。
9 For thus says the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] make to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
因为万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：你们还活着的日子在你们眼前，我必使欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，从这地方止息了。
10 And it shall come to pass, when you shall report to this people all these words, and they shall say to you, Therefore has the Lord pronounced against us all these evils? what is our unrighteousness? and what is our sin which we have sinned before the Lord our God?
“你将这一切的话指示这百姓。他们问你说：‘耶和华为什么说，要降这大灾祸攻击我们呢？我们有什么罪孽呢？我们向耶和华—我们的 神犯了什么罪呢？’
11 Then you shall say to them, Because your fathers forsook me, says the Lord, and went after strange gods and served them, and worshipped them, and forsook me, and kept not my law;
你就对他们说：‘耶和华说：因为你们列祖离弃我，随从别神，事奉敬拜，不遵守我的律法，
12 (and you sinned worse than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the lusts of your own evil heart, so as not to listen to me);
而且你们行恶比你们列祖更甚；因为各人随从自己顽梗的恶心行事，甚至不听从我，
13 therefore I will cast you off from this good land into a land which neither you nor your fathers have known; and you shall serve their other gods, who shall have no mercy upon you.
所以我必将你们从这地赶出，直赶到你们和你们列祖素不认识的地。你们在那里必昼夜事奉别神，因为我必不向你们施恩。’”
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
耶和华说：“日子将到，人必不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来之永生的耶和华起誓，
15 but, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel from the land of the north, and from all countries whither they were thrust out: and I will restore them to their own land, which I gave to their fathers.
却要指着那领以色列人从北方之地，并赶他们到的各国上来之永生的耶和华起誓，并且我要领他们再入我从前赐给他们列祖之地。”
16 Behold, I [will] send many fishers, says the Lord, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt them upon every mountain, and upon every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
耶和华说：“我要召许多打鱼的把以色列人打上来，然后我要召许多打猎的，从各山上、各冈上、各石穴中猎取他们。
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways; and their iniquities have not been hidden from mine eyes.
因我的眼目察看他们的一切行为；他们不能在我面前遮掩，他们的罪孽也不能在我眼前隐藏。
18 And I will recompense their mischiefs doubly, and their sins, whereby they have profaned my land with the carcases of their abominations, and with their iniquities, whereby they have trespassed against mine inheritance.
我先要加倍报应他们的罪孽和罪恶；因为他们用可憎之尸玷污我的地土，又用可厌之物充满我的产业。”
19 O Lord, you are my strength, and mine help, and my refuge in days of evil: to you the Gentiles shall come from the end of the earth, and shall say, How vain [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured to themselves, and there is no help in them.
耶和华啊，你是我的力量， 是我的保障； 在苦难之日是我的避难所。 列国人必从地极来到你这里， 说：我们列祖所承受的， 不过是虚假，是虚空无益之物。
20 Will a man make gods for himself, whereas these are no gods?
人岂可为自己制造神呢？ 其实这不是神。
21 Therefore, behold, I will at this time manifest my hand to them, and will make known to them my power; and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
耶和华说：“我要使他们知道，就是这一次使他们知道我的手和我的能力。他们就知道我的名是耶和华了。”
