Jeremiah 4
1 If you will return O Israel - [the] utterance of Yahweh to me you will return and if you will remove detestable things your from before me and not you will waver.
耶和華說：以色列啊， 你若回來歸向我， 若從我眼前除掉你可憎的偶像， 你就不被遷移。
2 And you will swear [by] [the] life of Yahweh in faithfulness in justice and in righteousness and they will bless themselves by him nations and in him they will boast.
你必憑誠實、公平、公義， 指着永生的耶和華起誓； 列國必因耶和華稱自己為有福， 也必因他誇耀。
3 For thus - he says Yahweh to [the] man of Judah and to Jerusalem plow of you unplowed ground and may not you sow to thorns.
耶和華對猶大和耶路撒冷人如此說： 要開墾你們的荒地， 不要撒種在荊棘中。
4 Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh and remove [the] foreskins of heart your O man of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem lest it should go forth like fire rage my and it will burn and there not [will be one who] extinguishes because of [the] wickedness of deeds your.
猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪， 你們當自行割禮，歸耶和華， 將心裏的污穢除掉； 恐怕我的忿怒因你們的惡行發作， 如火着起， 甚至無人能以熄滅！
5 Declare in Judah and in Jerusalem make a proclamation and say (blow *Q(K)*) a trumpet in the land call out fill and say gather yourselves so let us go to [the] cities of fortification.
你們當傳揚在猶大， 宣告在耶路撒冷說： 你們當在國中吹角，高聲呼叫說： 你們當聚集！ 我們好進入堅固城！
6 Lift up a standard Zion towards take refuge may not you stand still for calamity I [am] about to bring from [the] north and destruction great.
應當向錫安豎立大旗。 要逃避，不要遲延， 因我必使災禍與大毀滅從北方來到。
7 It has gone up a lion from thicket its and a destroyer of nations he has set out he has gone out from place his to make land your into a waste cities your they will fall in ruins from not inhabitant.
有獅子從密林中上來， 是毀壞列國的。 牠已經動身出離本處， 要使你的地荒涼， 使你的城邑變為荒場無人居住。
8 On this gird yourself sackcloth mourn and wail for not it has turned back [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh from us.
因此，你們當腰束麻布，大聲哀號， 因為耶和華的烈怒沒有向我們轉消。
9 And it will be on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh it will perish [the] heart of the king and [the] heart of the officials and they will be appalled the priests and the prophets they will be astounded.
耶和華說：「到那時，君王和首領的心都要消滅；祭司都要驚奇，先知都要詫異。」
10 And I said alas! - O Lord Yahweh truly certainly you have deceived the people this and Jerusalem saying peace it will belong to you and it will reach a sword to the throat.
我說：「哀哉！主耶和華啊，你真是大大地欺哄這百姓和耶路撒冷，說：『你們必得平安。』其實刀劍害及性命了。」
11 At the time that it will be said to the people this and to Jerusalem a wind scorching bare heights in the wilderness [will be] [the] direction of [the] daughter of people my not to winnow and not to cleanse.
那時，必有話對這百姓和耶路撒冷說：「有一陣熱風從曠野淨光的高處向我的眾民颳來，不是為簸揚，也不是為揚淨。
12 A wind [too] full for these [things] it will come for me now also I I will speak judgments with them.
必有一陣更大的風從這些地方為我颳來；現在我又必發出判語，攻擊他們。」
13 There! - like clouds he is going up and like the storm-wind chariots his they are swift more than eagles horses his woe! to us for we are devastated.
看哪，仇敵必如雲上來； 他的戰車如旋風， 他的馬匹比鷹更快。 我們有禍了！ 我們敗落了！
14 Wash from evil heart your O Jerusalem so that you may be saved until when? will it remain in inner being your [the] thoughts of wickedness your.
耶路撒冷啊，你當洗去心中的惡， 使你可以得救。 惡念存在你心裏要到幾時呢？
15 For a voice [is] declaring from Dan and [is] proclaiming trouble from [the] hill country of Ephraim.
有聲音從但傳揚， 從以法蓮山報禍患。
16 Make known to the nations here! proclaim to Jerusalem besiegers [are] coming from [the] land of distance and they have given forth on [the] cities of Judah voice their.
你們當傳給列國， 報告攻擊耶路撒冷的事說： 有探望的人從遠方來到， 向猶大的城邑大聲吶喊。
17 Like [those who] guard a field they are on it from round about for me it has been rebellious against [the] utterance of Yahweh.
他們周圍攻擊耶路撒冷， 好像看守田園的， 因為她背叛了我。 這是耶和華說的。
18 Conduct your and deeds your they have brought about these [things] to you this [is] wickedness your for it is bitter for it has reached to heart your.
你的行動，你的作為，招惹這事； 這是你罪惡的結果， 實在是苦， 是害及你心了！
19 Inward parts my - inward parts my - (I am waiting *Q(K)*) [the] walls of heart my [is] in turmoil to me heart my not I will keep silent for [the] sound of a trumpet (you have heard *Q(K)*) O self my [the] shout of battle.
我的肺腑啊，我的肺腑啊，我心疼痛！ 我心在我裏面煩躁不安。 我不能靜默不言， 因為我已經聽見角聲和打仗的喊聲。
20 Destruction to destruction it has been proclaimed for it has been devastated all the land suddenly they have been devastated tents my a moment tent curtains my.
毀壞的信息連絡不絕， 因為全地荒廢。 我的帳棚忽然毀壞； 我的幔子頃刻破裂。
21 Until when? will I see a standard will I hear [the] sound of a trumpet.
我看見大旗，聽見角聲， 要到幾時呢？
22 For - [is] a fool people my me not they know [are] children fools they and not [are] having understanding they [are] skillful they to do evil and to do good not they know.
耶和華說：我的百姓愚頑，不認識我； 他們是愚昧無知的兒女， 有智慧行惡，沒有知識行善。
23 I looked at the earth and there! [it was] formlessness and emptiness and to the heavens and there not [was] light their.
先知說：我觀看地， 不料，地是空虛混沌； 我觀看天，天也無光。
24 I looked at the mountains and there! [they were] quaking and all the hills they shook to and fro.
我觀看大山，不料，盡都震動， 小山也都搖來搖去。
25 I looked and there! there not [was] humankind and every bird of the heavens they had fled.
我觀看，不料，無人； 空中的飛鳥也都躲避。
26 I looked and there! the garden-land [was] wilderness and all cities its they had been pulled down from before Yahweh from before [the] burning of anger his.
我觀看，不料，肥田變為荒地； 一切城邑在耶和華面前， 因他的烈怒都被拆毀。
27 For thus he says Yahweh a desolation it will be all the earth and complete destruction not I will make.
耶和華如此說：全地必然荒涼， 我卻不毀滅淨盡。
28 On this it will mourn the earth and they will be dark the heavens above on for I have spoken I have resolved and not I have repented and not I will turn back from it.
因此，地要悲哀， 在上的天也必黑暗； 因為我言已出，我意已定， 必不後悔，也不轉意不做。
29 From [the] sound of a horseman and a shooter of a bow [is] fleeing every city people will go in the thickets and on the rocks people will go up every city [is] abandoned and there not [is] dwelling in them anyone.
各城的人因馬兵和弓箭手的響聲就都逃跑， 進入密林，爬上磐石； 各城被撇下， 無人住在其中。
30 (And you *Q(K)*) O devastated [one] what? are you doing that you are dressing scarlet that you ornament yourself ornament[s] of gold that you tear open with eye-paint eyes your for vanity you beautify yourself they have rejected you lovers life your they seek.
你淒涼的時候要怎樣行呢？ 你雖穿上朱紅衣服， 佩戴黃金裝飾， 用顏料修飾眼目， 這樣標緻是枉然的！ 戀愛你的藐視你， 並且尋索你的性命。
31 For a sound like a sick [woman] I have heard distress like a [woman] bearing a first child [the] sound of [the] daughter of Zion she is gasping for breath she is spreading out hands her woe! please to me for it is weary self my to murderers.
我聽見有聲音，彷彿婦人產難的聲音， 好像生頭胎疼痛的聲音， 是錫安女子的聲音； 她喘着氣、挓挲手， 說：我有禍了！ 在殺人的跟前，我的心發昏了。
