Jeremiah 8
1 “At that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “They bring the bones of the kings of Judah, And the bones of its princes, And the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves,
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 have spread them to sun, and to moon, And to all the host of the heavens, that they have loved, And that they have served, And that they have walked after, And that they have sought, And to which they have bowed themselves, They are not gathered, nor buried, They are for dung on the face of the ground.
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 is chosen rather than life By all the remnant who are left of this evil family, In all the remaining places, to where I have driven them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
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 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: Do they fall, and not rise? Does he turn back, and not return?
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 Why has this people of Jerusalem Turned back—a continuous backsliding? They have kept hold on deceit, They have refused to turn back.
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 have given attention, indeed, I listen, They do not speak right, No man has sighed over his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? Everyone has turned to his courses, As a horse is rushing into battle.
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 Even a stork in the heavens has known her seasons, And turtle, and swallow, and crane, Have watched the time of their coming, And—My people have not known the judgment of YHWH.
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 How do you say, We [are] wise, And the Law of YHWH [is] with us? Surely, behold, it has worked falsely, The false pen of scribes.
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 have been ashamed, They have been frightened, and are captured, Behold, they kicked against a word of YHWH, And what wisdom do they have?
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, I give their wives to others, Their fields to dispossessors, For from the least even to the greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, From prophet even to priest, everyone is dealing 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 And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And 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 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not ashamed at all, And they have not known blushing, Therefore, they fall among falling ones, They stumble in the time of their inspection, said YHWH.
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 utterly consume them,” A declaration of YHWH, “There are no grapes in the vine, Indeed, there are no figs in the fig tree, And the leaf has faded, And the strength they have passes 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 are we sitting still? Be gathered, and we go into the fortified cities, And we are silent there, For our God YHWH has made us silent, Indeed, He causes us to drink water of gall, For we have sinned against YHWH.
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 Looking for peace—and there is no good, For a time of healing, and behold—terror.
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 snorting of his horses has been heard from Dan, From the voice of the neighings of his mighty ones, All the land has trembled, And they come in and consume the land and its fullness, The city and the inhabitants in it.
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 behold, I am sending serpents among you, Vipers that have no charmer, And they have bitten you,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 My sorrow [is] beyond comfort, My heart [is] sick in me.
我有忧愁，愿能自慰； 我心在我里面发昏。
19 Behold, the voice of a cry of the daughter of my people from a far-off land, Is YHWH not in Zion? Is her King not in her? “Why have they provoked Me with their carved images, With the vanities of a foreigner?”
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 Harvest has passed, summer has ended, And we have not been saved.
麦秋已过，夏令已完， 我们还未得救！
21 For a breach of the daughter of my people I have been broken, I have been dark, Astonishment has seized 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 balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why has the health of the daughter of my people not gone up?
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？
