< Jeremiah 11 >

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
上主有話傳給依撒意亞說:
2 Hear [the] words of the covenant this and you will speak them to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
「你們應聽這盟約上的話,將這些話宣讀給猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民聽。
3 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel [is] cursed the person who not he will hear [the] words of the covenant this.
你應對他們說:「上主,以色列的天主這樣說:凡不聽從這盟約上的話的人,是可咒罵的!
4 Which I commanded ancestors your on [the] day brought out I them from [the] land of Egypt from [the] furnace of iron saying listen to voice my and you will do them according to all that I will command you and you will become for me a people and I I will become for you God.
這些話是我在領你們的祖先由鐵爐,即由埃及地出來的那天,對他們吩咐的。我對他們說:你們應聽從我的聲音,應依照我命令你們的一切去做,你們就必做我的人民,我也必做你們的天主,
5 So as to carry out the oath which I swore to ancestors your to give to them a land flowing of milk and honey like the day this and I answered and I said amen - O Yahweh.
好我能實踐對你們祖先所起的誓,賜給他們流奶流蜜的土地,有如今日。我即答說:「是,上主! 」
6 And he said Yahweh to me proclaim all the words these in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem saying hear [the] words of the covenant this and you will do them.
上主對我說:「你應在猶大城邑和耶路撒冷的街上宣佈這些話說:你們應聽從這盟約上的話,依照遵行,
7 For certainly I warned ancestors your on [the] day brought up I them from [the] land of Egypt and until the day this rising early and warning saying listen to voice my.
因為在我領你們的祖先由埃及上來的那一天,我就鄭重警告過他們,直到今日仍不斷勸告他們說:你們應我的聲音!
8 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they walked everyone in [the] stubbornness of own heart their evil and I brought on them all [the] words of the covenant this which I commanded to do and not they did.
他們不但不聽從,氶而各隨自己頑固的惡心生活,為此,我對他們執行了我命他們遵行,而他們沒有遵行的這盟約上的一切話。」
9 And he said Yahweh to me it has been found a conspiracy among everyone of Judah and among [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
上主又對我說:「猶大和耶路撒冷間存有叛逆的陰謀,
10 They have returned to [the] iniquities of ancestors their former who they refused to hear words my and they they have walked after gods other to serve them they have broken [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah covenant my which I made with ancestors their.
他們再陷於他們那不願聽從我話的祖先的罪惡中,追隨事奉其他的神祗;以色列家和猶大家都違反了我與他們祖先締結的盟約。
11 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to bring to them a calamity which not they will be able to go out from it and they will cry out to me and not I will listen to them.
為此,上主這樣說:看,我必給他們召來不可逃避的災禍;既使他們向我呼號,我也不俯聽。
12 And they will go [the] cities of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and they will cry out to the gods which they [are] making smoke to them and certainly not they will deliver them at [the] time of calamity their.
猶大城邑和耶路撒冷的居民,必去呼號他們獻香敬拜的神祗,佰這些神祗在他們遭難時,決不能拯救他們。
13 For [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah and [the] number of [the] streets of Jerusalem you have made altars to the shameful thing altars to make smoke to Baal.
的確,猶大! 你神祗的號竟等於你城邑的數目;耶路撒冷有多少街道,你們也給可恥之物設立了多少祭壇,向巴爾獻香的祭壇。
14 And you may not you pray for the people this and may not you lift up for them a cry of entreaty and a prayer for not I [will be] listening at [the] time call out they to me for calamity their.
至於你,你不必為這人民祈禱,不必為他們呼號祈求,因為他們在遭難時,才向我呼求,我必不俯聽。
15 What? to beloved [one] my in house my doing it plan the many [people] and flesh of holiness they will pass away from on you for wickedness your then you will rejoice.
我心愛的人! 你既為作歹,還在我家做什麼﹖難道許願和祝聖的肉能使你免禍,叫你作惡而能倖免﹖
16 An olive tree luxuriant beautiful of fruit of form he called Yahweh name your to [the] sound of - a rainstorm great he has kindled a fire on it and they are bad branches its.
上主曾給你起外叫:「青綠茂盛而滿結佳果的橄欖樹」;但現在衪在雷電霹靂聲音中,給綠葉燃起了火,燒毀了枝條。
17 And Yahweh of hosts who planted you he has spoken on you evil on account of [the] evil of [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah which they have done for themselves to provoke to anger me by making smoke to Baal.
那位培埴你的萬軍的上主,命災禍來懲罰你,全是為了以色列家和猶大家自作自受的罪惡,因為他們向巴爾獻香,獨犯了我。
18 And Yahweh he made known to me and I knew! then you showed me deeds their.
上主叫我知道, 才知道;那時我看透了他們的作為:
19 And I [had been] like a lamb a tame one [which] it is led to slaughter and not I knew that on me - they had planned plans let us destroy [the] tree with bread its and let us cut off him from [the] land of [the] living and name his not may it be remembered again.
我好像一隻馴服被牽去宰殺的羔羊,竟不知他們對我畜意謀害:「讓我毀壞這株生氣蓬勃的樹,將他由活人的地上拔除,使他的名字不再受人記念。」
20 And O Yahweh of hosts [who] judges righteousness [who] tests kidneys and heart let me see vengeance your from them for to you I have made known case my.
公平審判和洞察肺腑的上主! 願我見到你對他們的報復,因為我已向他們提出我的控訴。
21 Therefore thus he says Yahweh on [the] people of Anathoth who are seeking life your saying not you must prophesy in [the] name of Yahweh and not you will die by hand our.
為此,關於那些謀害我的性命,對我說:「你不要事奉上主的名講預言,免得你死在我們手裏」的阿納托特人,上主這樣說,
22 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to visit [judgment] on them the young men they will die by the sword sons their and daughters their they will die by famine.
萬軍的上主這樣說:「看,我必懲罰他們:青年必死在刀下,子女必死於饑荒,
23 And a remnant not it will belong to them for I will bring calamity to [the] people of Anathoth [the] year of punishment their.
使他們沒有子嗣,因為在懲罰他們的那年,我必給阿納托人招來災禍。」
