Jeremiah 19
1 Thus said YHWH, "Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and take with you some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
耶和华如此说：“你去买窑匠的瓦瓶，又带百姓中的长老和祭司中的长老，
2 and go forth to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is by the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you;
出去到欣嫩子谷、哈珥西的门口那里，宣告我所吩咐你的话，
3 and say, 'Hear the word of YHWH, kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, "Look, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.
说：‘犹大君王和耶路撒冷的居民哪，当听耶和华的话。万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我必使灾祸临到这地方，凡听见的人都必耳鸣；
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, that they did not know, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
因为他们和他们列祖，并犹大君王离弃我，将这地方看为平常，在这里向素不认识的别神烧香，又使这地方满了无辜人的血，
5 and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I did not command, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:
又建筑巴力的邱坛，好在火中焚烧自己的儿子，作为燔祭献给巴力。这不是我所吩咐的，不是我所提说的，也不是我心所起的意。
6 therefore, look, the days come," says YHWH, "that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The Valley of Ben Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter.
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。
7 I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
我必在这地方使犹大和耶路撒冷的计谋落空，也必使他们在仇敌面前倒于刀下，并寻索其命的人手下。他们的尸首，我必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物。
8 I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
我必使这城令人惊骇嗤笑；凡经过的人，必因这城所遭的灾惊骇嗤笑。
9 I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them."'
我必使他们在围困窘迫之中，就是仇敌和寻索其命的人窘迫他们的时候，各人吃自己儿女的肉和朋友的肉。’
10 Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,
“你要在同去的人眼前打碎那瓶，
11 and shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
对他们说：‘万军之耶和华如此说：我要照样打碎这民和这城，正如人打碎窑匠的瓦器，以致不能再囫囵。并且人要在陀斐特葬埋尸首，甚至无处可葬。
12 Thus will I do to this place," says YHWH, "and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:
耶和华说：我必向这地方和其中的居民如此行，使这城与陀斐特一样。
13 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods."'"
耶路撒冷的房屋和犹大君王的宫殿是已经被玷污的，就是他们在其上向天上的万象烧香、向别神浇奠祭的宫殿房屋，都必与陀斐特一样。’”
14 Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where YHWH had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of YHWH's house, and said to all the people:
耶利米从陀斐特—就是耶和华差他去说预言的地方—回来，站在耶和华殿的院中，对众人说：
15 "Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Look, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.'"
“万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我必使我所说的一切灾祸临到这城和属城的一切城邑，因为他们硬着颈项不听我的话。”
