Jeremias 7
耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
2 Hear you the word of the Lord, all Judea.
“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 says the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to 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 yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, 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 thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbor;
“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 oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
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 cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
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 But whereas you have trusted in lying words, whereby you shall not be profited;
“看哪，你们倚靠虚谎无益的话。
9 and you murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom you know 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 so that it is evil with you; yet have you come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and you have said, We have refrained from doing 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 my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], says 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 For go you to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness 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 And now, because you have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but you listened not to me; and I called you, but you answered not;
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 I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
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 cast away your brethren, all the seed 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 Therefore pray not you for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yes, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not listen [to you].
“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 you not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
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 Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to 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 Do they provoke me to anger? says the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
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 says the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be 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 says the Lord, Gather your whole burnt offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat 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 spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole burnt offerings and sacrifice:
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 I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear you my voice, and I will be to you a God, and you shall be to me a people: and walk you in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with 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 listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
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 from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yes, I sent [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 but they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than 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 you shall speak this word to them;
“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 This is the nation which has not listened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from 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 your hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on your lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
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 Juda have wrought evil before me, says the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile 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 have built the altar of Taphes, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my 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, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Taphes, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Taphes, for lack of room.
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 the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [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 And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
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。”
