Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
2 "Stand in the gate of YHWH's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, 'Hear the word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship YHWH.
“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 YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, 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 Do not trust in lying words, saying, "YHWH's temple, YHWH's temple, YHWH's temple, are these."
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 amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice 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 if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own 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 that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forevermore.
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 Look, you trust in lying words, that can't profit.
“看哪，你们倚靠虚谎无益的话。
9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
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 and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, "We are delivered"; that you may do 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 this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Look, I, even I, have seen it, says YHWH.
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 But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for 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 Now, because you have done all these works, says YHWH, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer:
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 will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
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 I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants 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 do not pray for this people, neither lift up a cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear 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 Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah 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 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may 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 YHWH. "Do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?"
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 YHWH: "Look, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on animal, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall 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 YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat meat.
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 did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
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 this thing I commanded them, saying, 'Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I 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 did not listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness 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 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending 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 yet they did not listen to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse 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 "You shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.
“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 You shall tell them, 'This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of YHWH their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off 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 throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for YHWH has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.'"
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 people of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight," says YHWH: "they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, 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 They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
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 look, the days come," says YHWH, "that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The Valley of Ben Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
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 The dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth; and none shall frighten 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 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste."
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。”
