Jeremiah 10
1 “Hear the word that Yahweh is announcing to you, house of Israel.
以色列家啊，要听耶和华对你们所说的话。
2 Yahweh says this, 'Do not learn the ways of the nations, and do not be dismayed by the signs in the heavens, for the nations are dismayed by these.
耶和华如此说： 你们不要效法列国的行为， 也不要为天象惊惶， 因列国为此事惊惶。
3 For the religious customs of these people are worthless. They cut down a tree in the forest, and the craftsman carves the wood.
众民的风俗是虚空的； 他们在树林中用斧子砍伐一棵树， 匠人用手工造成偶像。
4 Then they decorate it with silver and gold. They strengthen it with hammer and nails so it will not fall over.
他们用金银妆饰它， 用钉子和锤子钉稳， 使它不动摇。
5 What they make with their hands is like scarecrows in a cucumber field, because they, too, can say nothing, and they have to be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they cannot bring about evil, nor are they able to do anything good.'”
它好像棕树，是旋成的， 不能说话，不能行走， 必须有人抬着。 你们不要怕它； 它不能降祸， 也无力降福。
6 There is no one like you, Yahweh. You are great, and your name is great in power.
耶和华啊，没有能比你的！ 你本为大，有大能大力的名。
7 Who does not fear you, king of the nations? For this is what you deserve, for there is no one like you among all the wise men of the nations or all their royal kingdoms.
万国的王啊，谁不敬畏你？ 敬畏你本是合宜的； 因为在列国的智慧人中， 虽有政权的尊荣， 也不能比你。
8 They are all the same, they are brutish and stupid, disciples of idols that are nothing but wood.
他们尽都是畜类，是愚昧的。 偶像的训诲算什么呢？ 偶像不过是木头。
9 They bring hammered silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz made by artificers, the hands of refiners. Their clothes are blue and purple cloth. Their skillful men made all of these things.
有银子打成片，是从他施带来的， 并有从乌法来的金子， 都是匠人和银匠的手工， 又有蓝色紫色料的衣服， 都是巧匠的工作。
10 But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God and eternal king. The earth quakes at his anger, and the nations cannot endure his anger.
惟耶和华是真 神， 是活 神，是永远的王。 他一发怒，大地震动； 他一恼恨，列国都担当不起。 （
11 You will speak to them like this, “The gods that did not make the heavens and earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”
你们要对他们如此说：不是那创造天地的神，必从地上从天下被除灭！）
12 But it was he who made the earth by his power, and he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
耶和华用能力创造大地， 用智慧建立世界， 用聪明铺张穹苍。
13 His voice makes the roar of waters in the heavens, and he brings up the mists from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and sends out wind from his storehouse.
他一发声，空中便有多水激动； 他使云雾从地极上腾； 他造电随雨而闪， 从他府库中带出风来。
14 Every man has become ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds; there is no life in them.
各人都成了畜类，毫无知识； 各银匠都因他雕刻的偶像羞愧。 他所铸的偶像本是虚假的， 其中并无气息，
15 They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish at the time of their punishment.
都是虚无的， 是迷惑人的工作； 到追讨的时候必被除灭。
16 But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
雅各的分不像这些， 因他是造作万有的主。 以色列也是他产业的支派， 万军之耶和华是他的名。
17 Gather your bundle and leave the land, you people who have been living under the siege.
受围困的人哪，当收拾你的财物， 从国中带出去。
18 For Yahweh says this, “See, I am about to throw the inhabitants of the land out this time. I will cause them distress, and they will find it to be so.”
因为耶和华如此说： 这时候，我必将此地的居民， 好像用机弦甩出去， 又必加害在他们身上， 使他们觉悟。
19 Woe to me! Because of my broken bones, my wound is infected. So I said, “Surely this is agony, but I must bear it.”
民说：祸哉！我受损伤； 我的伤痕极其重大。 我却说：这真是我的痛苦， 必须忍受。
20 My tent is devastated, and all of my tent cords are cut in two. They have taken my children away from me, so they no longer exist. There is no longer anyone to spread out my tent or to raise up my tent curtains.
我的帐棚毁坏； 我的绳索折断。 我的儿女离我出去，没有了。 无人再支搭我的帐棚，挂起我的幔子。
21 For the shepherds are stupid and they do not seek Yahweh; so they have not prospered, and all their flock has been scattered.
因为牧人都成为畜类， 没有求问耶和华， 所以不得顺利； 他们的羊群也都分散。
22 The report of news has arrived, “See! It is coming, a great earthquake is coming from the land of the north To make the cities of Judah into ruins, hideouts for jackals.”
有风声！看哪，敌人来了！ 有大扰乱从北方出来， 要使犹大城邑变为荒凉， 成为野狗的住处。
23 I know, Yahweh, that the way of a man does not come from himself. No person walking directs his own steps.
耶和华啊，我晓得人的道路不由自己， 行路的人也不能定自己的脚步。
24 Discipline me, Yahweh, with justice, not in your anger or you would destroy me.
耶和华啊，求你从宽惩治我， 不要在你的怒中惩治我， 恐怕使我归于无有。
25 Pour your fury on the nations that do not know you and on the families that do not call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob and consumed him so as to completely destroy him and demolish his habitation.
愿你将忿怒倾在不认识你的列国中， 和不求告你名的各族上； 因为他们吞了雅各，不但吞了，而且灭绝， 把他的住处变为荒场。
