Jeremiah 6
1 Find safety, people of Benjamin, by leaving Jerusalem. Blow a trumpet in Tekoa. Raise up over Beth Hakkerem a signal, since wickedness is appearing from the north; a great crushing is coming.
便雅悯人哪，你们要逃出耶路撒冷， 在提哥亚吹角， 在伯·哈基琳立号旗； 因为有灾祸与大毁灭从北方张望。
2 The daughter of Zion, the beautiful and delicate woman, will be destroyed.
那秀美娇嫩的锡安女子， 我必剪除。
3 The shepherds and their flocks will go to them; they will set up tents against her all around; each man will shepherd with his own hand.
牧人必引他们的羊群到她那里， 在她周围支搭帐棚， 各在自己所占之地使羊吃草。
4 “Dedicate yourselves to the gods for the battle. Arise, let us attack at noon. It is too bad that the daylight is fading away, that the evening shadows are falling.
你们要准备攻击她。 起来吧，我们可以趁午时上去。 哀哉！日已渐斜， 晚影拖长了。
5 But let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses.”
起来吧，我们夜间上去， 毁坏她的宫殿。
6 For Yahweh of hosts says this: Cut her trees, and heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem. This is the right city to attack, because it is filled with oppression.
因为万军之耶和华如此说： 你们要砍伐树木， 筑垒攻打耶路撒冷。 这就是那该罚的城， 其中尽是欺压。
7 As a well pours out fresh water, so this city keeps producing wickedness. Violence and disorder are heard within her; sickness and wounds are continually before my face.
井怎样涌出水来， 这城也照样涌出恶来； 在其间常听见有强暴毁灭的事， 病患损伤也常在我面前。
8 Accept discipline, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make you into a ruin, an uninhabited land.'”
耶路撒冷啊，你当受教， 免得我心与你生疏， 免得我使你荒凉， 成为无人居住之地。
9 Yahweh of hosts says this, “They will certainly glean those who are left in Israel like a vineyard. Reach out again with your hand to pick grapes from the vines.
万军之耶和华曾如此说： 敌人必掳尽以色列剩下的民， 如同摘净葡萄一样。 你要像摘葡萄的人摘了又摘，回手放在筐子里。
10 To whom should I declare and warn so they will listen? Look! Their ears are uncircumcised; they are not able to pay attention! Look! The word of Yahweh has come to them to correct them, but they do not want it.”
现在我可以向谁说话作见证，使他们听呢？ 他们的耳朵未受割礼，不能听见。 看哪，耶和华的话他们以为羞辱， 不以为喜悦。
11 But I am filled with Yahweh's fury. I am tired of holding it in. He said, to me, “Pour it out on the children in the streets and on the groups of young men. For every man will be taken away with his wife; and every old person heavy with years.
因此我被耶和华的忿怒充满，难以含忍。 我要倾在街中的孩童和聚会的少年人身上， 连夫带妻， 并年老的与日子满足的都必被擒拿。
12 Their houses will be turned over to others, both their fields and their wives together. For I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand—this is Yahweh's declaration.
他们的房屋、田地， 和妻子都必转归别人； 我要伸手攻击这地的居民。 这是耶和华说的。
13 Yahweh declares that from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
因为他们从最小的到至大的都一味地贪婪， 从先知到祭司都行事虚谎。
14 They have healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, Peace,' when there is no peace.
他们轻轻忽忽地医治我百姓的损伤， 说：平安了！平安了！ 其实没有平安。
15 Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
他们行可憎的事知道惭愧吗？ 不然，他们毫不惭愧， 也不知羞耻。 因此，他们必在仆倒的人中仆倒； 我向他们讨罪的时候， 他们必致跌倒。 这是耶和华说的。
16 Yahweh says this, “Stand at the road crossing and look; ask for the ancient pathways. 'Where is this good way?' Then go on it and find a resting place for yourselves. But the people say, 'We will not go.'
耶和华如此说： 你们当站在路上察看， 访问古道， 哪是善道，便行在其间； 这样，你们心里必得安息。 他们却说：我们不行在其间。
17 I appointed for you watchmen to listen for the trumpet. But they said, 'We will not listen.'
我设立守望的人照管你们， 说：要听角声。 他们却说：我们不听。
18 Therefore, nations, listen! See, you witnesses, what will happen to them.
列国啊，因此你们当听！ 会众啊，要知道他们必遭遇的事。
19 Hear, earth! See, I am about to bring disaster to this people—the fruit of their thoughts. They paid no attention to my word or law, but they instead rejected it.”
地啊，当听！ 我必使灾祸临到这百姓， 就是他们意念所结的果子； 因为他们不听从我的言语， 至于我的训诲，他们也厌弃了。
20 “What does this frankincense going up from Sheba mean to me? Or these sweet smells from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable to me, nor are your sacrifices.
从示巴出的乳香， 从远方出的菖蒲 奉来给我有何益呢？ 你们的燔祭不蒙悦纳； 你们的平安祭，我也不喜悦。
21 So Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to place a stumbling block against this people. They will stumble over it—fathers and sons together. Inhabitants and their neighbors will also perish.'
所以耶和华如此说： 我要将绊脚石放在这百姓前面。 父亲和儿子要一同跌在其上； 邻舍与朋友也都灭亡。
22 Yahweh says this, 'See, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
耶和华如此说： 看哪，有一种民从北方而来， 并有一大国被激动，从地极来到。
23 They will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for battle, against you, daughter of Zion.'”
他们拿弓和枪， 性情残忍，不施怜悯； 他们的声音像海浪匉訇。 锡安城啊， 他们骑马都摆队伍， 如上战场的人要攻击你。
24 We have heard the reports about them and our hands fall limp in distress. Anguish seizes us as a woman giving birth.
我们听见他们的风声，手就发软； 痛苦将我们抓住， 疼痛仿佛产难的妇人。
25 Do not go out to the fields, and do not walk on the roads, for the swords of the enemy and terror are all around.
你们不要往田野去， 也不要行在路上， 因四围有仇敌的刀剑和惊吓。
26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with painful sobs as for an only son, for the destroyer will suddenly come upon us.
我民哪，应当腰束麻布，滚在灰中。 你要悲伤，如丧独生子痛痛哭号， 因为灭命的要忽然临到我们。
27 “I have made you, Jeremiah, one who tests my people like one would test metal, so you will inspect and test their ways.
我使你在我民中为高台，为保障， 使你知道试验他们的行动。
28 They are all the most stubborn of people, who go about slandering others. All of them are bronze and iron, acting corruptly.
他们都是极悖逆的， 往来谗谤人。 他们是铜是铁， 都行坏事。
29 The bellows are scorched by the fire that is burning them; the lead is consumed in the flames. The refining continues among them, but it is useless, because the evil is not removed.
风箱吹火，铅被烧毁； 他们炼而又炼，终是徒然； 因为恶劣的还未除掉。
30 They will be called rejected silver, for Yahweh has rejected them.”
人必称他们为被弃的银渣， 因为耶和华已经弃掉他们。
