< Jeremiah 5 >

1 Rove about in [the] streets of Jerusalem and see please and observe and search in open places its if you will find a person if there [is one who] does justice [one who] seeks faithfulness so I may forgive it.
你們當在耶路撒冷的街上跑來跑去, 在寬闊處尋找, 看看有一人行公義求誠實沒有? 若有,我就赦免這城。
2 And though [by] [the] life of Yahweh people say therefore to falsehood they are swearing oaths.
其中的人雖然指着永生的耶和華起誓, 所起的誓實在是假的。
3 O Yahweh [are] eyes your ¿ not to faithfulness you struck them and not they writhed you brought to an end them they refused to accept correction they made strong faces their more than rock they refused to return.
耶和華啊,你的眼目不是看顧誠實嗎? 你擊打他們,他們卻不傷慟; 你毀滅他們,他們仍不受懲治。 他們使臉剛硬過於磐石, 不肯回頭。
4 And I I said only [are] poor [people] they they have acted foolishly for not they know [the] way of Yahweh [the] ordinance of God their.
我說:這些人實在是貧窮的,是愚昧的, 因為不曉得耶和華的作為 和他們上帝的法則。
5 I will go for myself to the great and I will speak them for they they know [the] way of Yahweh [the] ordinance of God their nevertheless they alike they had broken off a yoke they had torn off fetters.
我要去見尊大的人,對他們說話, 因為他們曉得耶和華的作為 和他們上帝的法則。 哪知,這些人齊心將軛折斷, 掙開繩索。
6 There-fore it will attack them a lion from a forest a wolf of desert plains it will devastate them a leopard [will be] watching over cities their every [one who] goes out from them he will be torn in pieces for they are many transgressions their they are numerous (apostasies their. *Q(k)*)
因此,林中的獅子必害死他們; 晚上的豺狼必滅絕他們; 豹子要在城外窺伺他們。 凡出城的必被撕碎; 因為他們的罪過極多, 背道的事也加增了。
7 Where? for this (will I forgive *Q(k)*) you children your they have forsaken me and they have sworn by not gods and I satisfied them and they committed adultery and [the] house of a prostitute they cut themselves.
我怎能赦免你呢? 你的兒女離棄我, 又指着那不是神的起誓。 我使他們飽足, 他們就行姦淫, 成群地聚集在娼妓家裏。
8 Horses well fed lustful they are everyone to [the] wife of neighbor his they neigh.
他們像餵飽的馬到處亂跑, 各向他鄰舍的妻發嘶聲。
9 ¿ On these [things] not will I punish [the] utterance of Yahweh and or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
耶和華說:我豈不因這些事討罪呢? 豈不報復這樣的國民呢?
10 Go up among vine rows its and destroy [them] and complete destruction may not you make remove vine tendrils its for not [belong] to Yahweh they.
你們要上她葡萄園的牆施行毀壞, 但不可毀壞淨盡, 只可除掉她的枝子, 因為不屬耶和華。
11 For certainly they have dealt treacherously with me [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh.
原來以色列家和猶大家大行詭詐攻擊我。 這是耶和華說的。
12 They have denied Yahweh and they have said not he and not it will come on us harm and sword and famine not we will see.
他們不認耶和華,說: 這並不是他, 災禍必不臨到我們; 刀劍和饑荒,我們也看不見。
13 And the prophets they will become wind and the word not [is] in them thus let it be done to them.
先知的話必成為風; 道也不在他們裏面。 這災必臨到他們身上。
14 Therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts because have spoken you the word this here I [am] about to make words my in mouth your into a fire and the people this wood and it will consume them.
所以耶和華-萬軍之上帝如此說: 因為百姓說這話, 我必使我的話在你口中為火,使他們為柴; 這火便將他們燒滅。
15 Here I [am] about to bring on you a nation from a distance O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh [is] a nation - enduring it [is] a nation from long ago it a nation [which] not you know language its and not you hear what? does it say.
耶和華說:以色列家啊, 我必使一國的民從遠方來攻擊你, 是強盛的國, 是從古而有的國。 他們的言語你不曉得, 他們的話你不明白。
16 Quiver its [is] like a grave open all of them [are] warriors.
他們的箭袋是敞開的墳墓; 他們都是勇士。
17 And it will devour harvest your and food your they will devour sons your and daughters your it will devour flock[s] your and herd[s] your it will devour vine[s] your and fig tree[s] your it will shatter [the] cities of fortifications your which you [are] trusting in them with the sword.
他們必吃盡你的莊稼和你的糧食, 是你兒女該吃的; 必吃盡你的牛羊, 吃盡你的葡萄和無花果; 又必用刀毀壞你所倚靠的堅固城。
18 And also in the days those [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will make with you complete destruction.
耶和華說:「就是到那時,我也不將你們毀滅淨盡。
19 And it will be that you will say for what? did he do Yahweh God our to us all these [things] and you will say to them just as you forsook me and you served gods of foreignness in own land your so you will serve strangers in a land [which] not [belongs] to you.
百姓若說:『耶和華-我們的上帝為甚麼向我們行這一切事呢?』你就對他們說:『你們怎樣離棄耶和華,在你們的地上事奉外邦神,也必照樣在不屬你們的地上事奉外邦人。』」
20 Declare this in [the] house of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah saying.
當傳揚在雅各家, 報告在猶大說:
21 Hear please this O people fool and there not [is] a heart eyes [belong] to them and not they see ears [belong] to them and not they hear.
愚昧無知的百姓啊, 你們有眼不看, 有耳不聽, 現在當聽這話。
22 ¿ Me not do you fear [the] utterance of Yahweh or? from before me not do you tremble who I appointed [the] sand a boundary for the sea a decree of perpetuity and not it will pass over it and they shook back and forth and not they will prevail and they roar waves its and not they will pass over it.
耶和華說:你們怎麼不懼怕我呢? 我以永遠的定例, 用沙為海的界限, 水不得越過。 因此,你們在我面前還不戰兢嗎? 波浪雖然翻騰,卻不能逾越; 雖然匉訇,卻不能過去。
23 And to the people this it belongs a heart stubborn and rebellious they have turned aside and they have gone away.
但這百姓有背叛忤逆的心; 他們叛我而去,
24 And not they said in heart their let us fear please Yahweh God our who gives rain (autumn rain *Q(K)*) and spring rain at appropriate time its [the] weeks of [the] appointments of harvest he keeps for us.
心內也不說: 我們應當敬畏耶和華-我們的上帝; 他按時賜雨,就是秋雨春雨, 又為我們定收割的節令,永存不廢。
25 Iniquities your they have turned aside these [things] and sins your they have withheld good from you.
你們的罪孽使這些事轉離你們; 你們的罪惡使你們不能得福。
26 For they are found among people my wicked [people] he watches as bend fowlers they set a destroyer people they catch.
因為在我民中有惡人。 他們埋伏窺探,好像捕鳥的人; 他們設立圈套陷害人。
27 Like a cage full bird[s] so houses their [are] full deceit there-fore they have become great and they have gained riches.
籠內怎樣滿了雀鳥, 他們的房中也照樣充滿詭詐; 所以他們得成為大,而且富足。
28 They have become fat they have become smooth also they have transgressed matters of evil a cause not they have pleaded [the] cause of [the] fatherless so they may have success and [the] justice of needy [people] not they have judged.
他們肥胖光潤, 作惡過甚,不為人伸冤! 就是不為孤兒伸冤, 不使他亨通, 也不為窮人辨屈。
29 ¿ On these [things] not will I punish [the] utterance of Yahweh or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
耶和華說:我豈不因這些事討罪呢? 豈不報復這樣的國民呢?
30 An atrocious event and a horrible [thing] it has occurred in the land.
國中有可驚駭、可憎惡的事:
31 The prophets they have prophesied with falsehood and the priests they are ruling on hands their and people my they have loved thus and what? will you do to end its.
就是先知說假預言, 祭司藉他們把持權柄; 我的百姓也喜愛這些事, 到了結局你們怎樣行呢?
