< Jeremiah 6 >

1 Sones of Beniamyn, be ye coumfortid in the myddil of Jerusalem, and make ye noise with a clarioun in Thecua, and reise ye a baner on Bethecarem; for whi yuel and greet sorewe is seyn fro the north.
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 Y haue licned the douytir of Sion to a fair womman and delicat.
那秀美娇嫩的锡安女子, 我必剪除。
3 Scheepherdis and her flockis schulen come to it; thei han piyt tentis in it in cumpas; ech man schal feede hem, that ben vndur his hond.
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 Halewe ye batel on it. Rise ye togidire, and stie we in myddai. Wo to vs, for the dai is bowid doun, for shadewis ben maad lengere in the euentid.
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 Rise ye, and stie we in the niyt, and distry we the housis therof.
起来吧,我们夜间上去, 毁坏她的宫殿。
6 For the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Kitte ye doun the tre therof, and schede ye erthe aboute Jerusalem; this is the citee of visitacioun; al fals caleng is in the myddis therof.
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 cisterne makith his water coold, so it made his malice coold; wickidnesse and distriyng schal euer be herd ther ynne bifore me, sikenesse and wounde.
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 Jerusalem, be thou tauyt, lest perauenture my soule go awei fro thee; lest perauenture Y sette thee forsakun, a loond vnhabitable.
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 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Thei schulen gadere til to a racyn, thei schulen gadere the remenauntis of Israel as in a vyner; turne thin hond, as a gaderer of grapis to the bascat.
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 schal Y speke, and to whom schal Y seie witnessing, that he here? Lo! the eeris of hem ben vncircumcidid, and thei moun not here; lo! the word of the Lord is maad to hem in to dispit, and thei schulen not resseiue 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 Therfor Y am ful of the strong veniaunce of the Lord, and Y trauelide suffrynge. Schede thou out on a litil child with outforth, and on the counsel of yonge men togidere; for a man with his wijf schal be takun, and an eeld man with him that is ful of daies.
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 And the housis of hem, the feeldis and wyues togidere, schulen go to othere men; for Y schal stretche forth myn hond on the dwelleris of the lond, seith the Lord.
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 For fro the lesse `til to the grettere, alle studien to auerise; and alle doon gile, fro the profete `til to the preest.
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 And thei heeliden the sorewe of the douyter of my puple with yuel fame, seiynge, Pees, pees, and no pees was.
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 Thei ben schent, that diden abhomynacioun; yhe, rathere thei weren not schent bi confusioun, and thei kouden not be aschamed. Wherfor thei schulen falle doun among hem that schulen falle doun; thei schulen falle doun in the tyme of her visitacioun, seith the Lord.
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 The Lord seith these thingis, Stonde ye on weies, and se ye, and axe ye of elde pathis, which is the good weie; and go ye ther ynne, and ye schulen fynde refreischyng to youre soulis. And thei seiden, We schulen 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 And Y ordeynede aspieris on you, and Y seide, Here ye the vois of a trumpe. And thei seiden, We schulen not here.
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 Therfor, hethene men, here ye, and, thou congregacioun, knowe, hou grete thingis Y schal do to hem.
列国啊,因此你们当听! 会众啊,要知道他们必遭遇的事。
19 Thou erthe, here, lo! Y schal brynge yuels on this puple, the fruit of her thouytis; for thei herden not my wordis, and castiden awei my lawe.
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 Wherto bryngen ye to me encense fro Saba, and a tre of spicerie smellynge swetli fro a fer lond? Youre brent sacrifices ben not acceptid, and youre slayn sacrifices plesiden not me.
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 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue fallyngis in to this puple, and fadris and sones togidere, a neiybore and kynesman, schulen falle in hem, and schulen perische.
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 The Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! a puple cometh fro the lond of the north, and a greet folk schal rise togidere fro the endis of erthe.
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 It schal take an arowe and scheld; it is cruel, and schal not haue merci; the vois therof schal sowne as the see, and thei maad redi as a man to batel schulen stie on horsis ayens thee, thou douyter of Sion.
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 herden the fame therof, oure hondis ben `a clumsid; tribulacioun hath take vs, sorewis han take vs as a womman trauelinge of child.
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 Nyle ye go out to the feeldis, and go ye not in the weie, for the swerd of the enemye, drede in cumpas.
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 The douytir of my puple, be thou gird with heire, and be thou spreynt togidere with aische; make to thee mourenyng of oon aloone gendrid sone, a bitter weilyng, for whi a wastere schal come sodenli on you.
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 yaf thee a strong preuere in my puple, and thou schalt knowe, and preue the weie of hem.
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 Alle these princis bowynge awei, goynge gilefuli, ben metal and irun; alle ben corrupt.
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 belu failide, leed is waastid in the fier, the wellere wellide in veyn; for the malices of hem ben not wastid.
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 Clepe ye hem repreuable siluer, for the Lord hath cast hem awei.
人必称他们为被弃的银渣, 因为耶和华已经弃掉他们。
