Jeremiah 4
1 “If you return, O Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, “Return to Me, And if you turn aside Your abominations from My face, Then you do not bemoan.
耶和华说：以色列啊， 你若回来归向我， 若从我眼前除掉你可憎的偶像， 你就不被迁移。
2 And you have sworn—YHWH lives, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And nations have blessed themselves in Him, And they boast themselves in Him.”
你必凭诚实、公平、公义， 指着永生的耶和华起誓； 列国必因耶和华称自己为有福， 也必因他夸耀。
3 For thus said YHWH, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: “Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow to the thorns.
耶和华对犹大和耶路撒冷人如此说： 要开垦你们的荒地， 不要撒种在荆棘中。
4 Be circumcised to YHWH, And turn aside the foreskins of your heart, O man of Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury goes out as fire, and has burned, And there is none quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.”
犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪， 你们当自行割礼，归耶和华， 将心里的污秽除掉； 恐怕我的忿怒因你们的恶行发作， 如火着起， 甚至无人能以熄灭！
5 Declare in Judah, and sound in Jerusalem, and say: “Blow a horn in the land, Call, Fill up together, And say, Assemble yourselves and let us go into the fortified cities.
你们当传扬在犹大， 宣告在耶路撒冷说： 你们当在国中吹角，高声呼叫说： 你们当聚集！ 我们好进入坚固城！
6 Lift up an ensign toward Zion, Strengthen yourselves, do not stand still, For I am bringing evil in from the north, And a great destruction.”
应当向锡安竖立大旗。 要逃避，不要迟延， 因我必使灾祸与大毁灭从北方来到。
7 A lion has gone up from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations has journeyed, He has come forth from his place To make your land become a desolation, Your cities are laid waste, without inhabitant.
有狮子从密林中上来， 是毁坏列国的。 它已经动身出离本处， 要使你的地荒凉， 使你的城邑变为荒场无人居住。
8 For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce anger of YHWH has not turned back from us.
因此，你们当腰束麻布，大声哀号， 因为耶和华的烈怒没有向我们转消。
9 “And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “The heart of the king perishes, And the heart of the princes, And the priests have been astonished, And the prophets wonder.”
耶和华说：“到那时，君王和首领的心都要消灭；祭司都要惊奇，先知都要诧异。”
10 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, Surely you have entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem, Saying, Peace is for you, And a sword has struck to the soul!”
我说：“哀哉！主耶和华啊，你真是大大地欺哄这百姓和耶路撒冷，说：‘你们必得平安。’其实刀剑害及性命了。”
11 At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem: “A dry wind of high places in the wilderness, The way of the daughter of My people (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing),
那时，必有话对这百姓和耶路撒冷说：“有一阵热风从旷野净光的高处向我的众民刮来，不是为簸扬，也不是为扬净。
12 A full wind from these comes for Me, Now also, I speak judgments with them.”
必有一阵更大的风从这些地方为我刮来；现在我又必发出判语，攻击他们。”
13 “Behold, he comes up as clouds, And his chariots as a windstorm, His horses have been lighter than eagles, Woe to us, for we have been spoiled.”
看哪，仇敌必如云上来； 他的战车如旋风， 他的马匹比鹰更快。 我们有祸了！ 我们败落了！
14 Wash evil from your heart, O Jerusalem, That you may be saved, Until when do you lodge in your heart Thoughts of your strength?
耶路撒冷啊，你当洗去心中的恶， 使你可以得救。 恶念存在你心里要到几时呢？
15 For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from Mount Ephraim:
有声音从但传扬， 从以法莲山报祸患。
16 “Make mention to the nations, Behold, sound to Jerusalem, Besiegers are coming from the far-off land, And they give forth their voice against cities of Judah.
你们当传给列国， 报告攻击耶路撒冷的事说： 有探望的人从远方来到， 向犹大的城邑大声呐喊。
17 As the keepers of a field They have been against her all around, For she has been rebellious with Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
他们周围攻击耶路撒冷， 好像看守田园的， 因为她背叛了我。 这是耶和华说的。
18 “Your way and your doings have done these to you, This [is] your distress, for [it is] bitter, For it has struck to your heart.”
你的行动，你的作为，招惹这事； 这是你罪恶的结果， 实在是苦， 是害及你心了！
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [in] the walls of my heart, My heart makes a noise for me, I am not silent, For I have heard the voice of a horn, O my soul—a shout of battle!
我的肺腑啊，我的肺腑啊，我心疼痛！ 我心在我里面烦躁不安。 我不能静默不言， 因为我已经听见角声和打仗的喊声。
20 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For all the land has been spoiled, My tents have suddenly been spoiled, In a moment—my curtains.
毁坏的信息连络不绝， 因为全地荒废。 我的帐棚忽然毁坏； 我的幔子顷刻破裂。
21 Until when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a horn?
我看见大旗，听见角声， 要到几时呢？
22 “For My people [are] foolish, They have not known Me, They [are] foolish sons, Indeed, they [are] not intelligent, They [are] wise to do evil, And they have not known to do good.”
耶和华说：我的百姓愚顽，不认识我； 他们是愚昧无知的儿女， 有智慧行恶，没有知识行善。
23 I looked [to] the earth, and behold—formless and void, And to the heavens, and they [had] no light.
先知说：我观看地， 不料，地是空虚混沌； 我观看天，天也无光。
24 I have looked [to] the mountains, And behold, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly.
我观看大山，不料，尽都震动， 小山也都摇来摇去。
25 I have looked, and behold, man is not, And all birds of the heavens have fled.
我观看，不料，无人； 空中的飞鸟也都躲避。
26 I have looked, and behold, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of YHWH, Because of the fierceness of His anger.
我观看，不料，肥田变为荒地； 一切城邑在耶和华面前， 因他的烈怒都被拆毁。
27 For thus said YHWH: “All the land is a desolation, but I do not make a completion.
耶和华如此说：全地必然荒凉， 我却不毁灭净尽。
28 For this the earth mourns, And the heavens above have been black, Because I have spoken—I have purposed, And I have not relented, Nor do I turn back from it.
因此，地要悲哀， 在上的天也必黑暗； 因为我言已出，我意已定， 必不后悔，也不转意不做。
29 From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with the bow, All the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets, And they have gone up on cliffs, All the city is forsaken, And there is no one dwelling in them.
各城的人因马兵和弓箭手的响声就都逃跑， 进入密林，爬上磐石； 各城被撇下， 无人住在其中。
30 And you, O spoiled one, what do you do? For you put on scarlet, For you adorn yourself [with] ornaments of gold. For you tear your eyes with pain, In vain you make yourself beautiful, Unhealthy ones have kicked against you, They seek your life.
你凄凉的时候要怎样行呢？ 你虽穿上朱红衣服， 佩戴黄金装饰， 用颜料修饰眼目， 这样标致是枉然的！ 恋爱你的藐视你， 并且寻索你的性命。
31 For I have heard a voice as of a travailing woman, Distress, as of one bringing forth a firstborn, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She laments herself, She spreads out her hands, Woe to me now, my soul is weary of slayers!”
我听见有声音，仿佛妇人产难的声音， 好像生头胎疼痛的声音， 是锡安女子的声音； 她喘着气、挓挲手， 说：我有祸了！ 在杀人的跟前，我的心发昏了。
