Jeremiah 13
1 Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and you will put it on loins your and in water not you must cause to go it.
上主對我這樣說：「你去買條麻帶，束在腰間，但是不要浸在水裏。」
2 And I bought the loincloth according to [the] word of Yahweh and I put [it] on loins my.
我就照上主的話去買了根麻帶， 。
3 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me a second [time] saying.
上主的話第二次傳給我說：
4 Take the loincloth which you bought which [is] on loins your and arise go Perath towards and hide it there in [the] cleft of the rock.
「拿你買來束在腰間的帶子，起身往幼發拉的去，藏在那裏的嚴石縫裏」。
5 And I went and I hid it at Perath just as he had commanded Yahweh me.
我照上主吩咐我的去了；將帶子藏在幼發拉的近旁。
6 And it was from [the] end of days many and he said Yahweh to me arise go Perath towards and take from there the loincloth which I commanded you to hide it there.
過了多日，上主對我說：「你起身往幼發拉的去，拿回我吩咐你藏在那裏的帶子」。
7 And I went Perath towards and I dug and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it there and there! it was ruined the loincloth not it was profitable for anything.
我便往幼發拉的去了，我由藏下的地方挖出那帶子；看，已經腐爛，毫無用處了。
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
於是有上主的話傳給我說：
9 Thus he says Yahweh thus I will ruin [the] pride of Judah and [the] pride of Jerusalem great.
「上主這樣說：我也要這樣毀滅猶大的驕傲，和耶路撒冷極度的高傲。
10 The people this wicked who are refusing - to hear words my who walk in [the] stubbornness of own heart their and they have walked after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them and let it be like the loincloth this which not it is profitable for anything.
這個拒絕我的話，而隨從自己固執的心行事，追隨事奉，朝拜其他神祗的邪惡人民，必要如這毫無用處的帶子木樣。
11 For just as it clings loincloth to [the] loins of a person so I have made cling to me all [the] house of Israel and all [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh to become for me a people and a name and praise and honor and not they listened.
因為正如帶子緊貼在人的腰間，同樣我也錔使以色列全 家和猶大全家緊緊依附我──上主的斷語──成為我的人民，我的名譽，我的讚美和我的光榮；但是他們卻沒有聽從。
12 And you will speak to them the word this. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel every wineskin it will be filled wine and they will say to you ¿ really not do we know that every wineskin it will be filled wine.
你應向他們宣佈這話：上主以色列的天主這樣說：每個壺應盛滿酒。如果他們對你說：難道我們不知道，每個壺都應盛滿酒嗎﹖
13 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to fill all [the] inhabitants of the land this and the kings who sit for David on throne his and the priests and the prophets and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem drunkenness.
你就答覆他們說：上主這樣說：看，我要使這地上的一切居民，坐在達味寶座上的君王，以及司祭和先知並耶路撒冷的一切居民，都酩酊大醉，
14 And I will smash them each to brother his and the parents and the children alike [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will show pity and not I will have mercy and not I will have compassion from destroying them.
使他們彼此衝突，連父子也彼此衝突──上主的斷語──我毫不憐憫、不慈悲、不留情地將他們消滅」。
15 Hear and give ear may not you be haughty for Yahweh he has spoken.
你們側耳傾聽，不要傲慢，因為是上主在說話。
16 Give to Yahweh God your glory before he will bring darkness and before they will stumble feet your on mountains of twilight and you will wait for light and he will make it into deep darkness (and he will make [it] *Q(K)*) into thick darkness.
黑暗來臨以前，在你的腳還沒有在黑暗中撞在石上以前，應將光榮歸於上主的天主；不然，你們期待光明，衪反發放死影，使它變得漆黑。
17 And if not you will listen to it in secret places it will weep self my because of pride and utterly it will weep and it may run down eye my tear[s] for it has been taken captive [the] flock of Yahweh.
假使你們還不聽從這警告，對你的驕傲，我只有暗自痛哭，眼淚直流，因為上主的羊群已被擄去。
18 Say to the king and to the queen-mother make low sit for it has come down [the] place of head your [the] crown of splendor your.
你應對君王和太后說：「你們應坐低位，因為你們華麗的王冠已由你們頭上落下」。
19 [the] cities of The Negev they have been shut up and there not [is one who] opens it has been taken into exile Judah all of it it has been taken into exile completeness.
南部的城邑已被封鎖，沒有人去打開，全猶大已被擄去。
20 (Lift up *Q(K)*) eyes your (and see *Q(K)*) those [who] are coming from [the] north where? [is] the flock [which] it was given to you [the] sheep of beauty your.
請你舉目觀望那來自北方的人；昔日委託給你的羊群，那壯麗的羊群，如今在那裏﹖
21 What? will you say that he will appoint over you and you you taught them over you close friends to chief ¿ not labor-pains will they seize you like a woman giving birth.
衪懲罰你，你還有什麼話說﹖是你教導了昔日的盟友來統治你，豈能不使你痛苦得像個臨產的婦女﹖
22 And if you will say in heart your why? have they happened to me these [things] in [the] greatness of iniquity your they have been uncovered skirts your they have suffered violence heels your.
假使你心裏說：為什麼我遭遇了此事──是因你罪大惡極，你的衣邊才被掀起，你的腳才受到污辱。
23 ¿ Will he change a Cushite skin his and a leopard spots its also you you will be able to do good O [those] trained to do evil.
雇士人豈能改變牠的斑點﹖那你們這些習於作惡的人，豈能行善﹖
24 And I will scatter them like chaff [which] passes away to [the] wind of [the] wilderness.
為此，我必使他們四散，像被曠野裏的風捲去的草芥。
25 This [is] lot your [the] portion of measure your from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh that you have forgotten me and you have trusted in falsehood.
這是你的命運，是我量給你的分子──上主的斷語──因為你忘記了我，信賴了「虛無」；
26 And also I I will strip off skirts your on face your and it will be visible shame your.
故此我也要將你的衣邊掀到你面上，使人見到你的羞恥。
27 Adulteri your and neighings your [the] wickedness of prostitution your on hills in the field I have seen detestable things your woe! to you O Jerusalem not you are clean after when? yet.
你的姦淫，你春情的嘶鳴，你猥褻的淫亂，你在高丘上和田野間可恥的行為，我都看見了。禍哉，耶路撒冷! 你不肯自潔，要到何時﹖
