旧约 -- 耶利米书(Jeremiah) -- 第15章
15:1 耶和华对我说,虽有摩西和撒母耳站在我面前代求,我的心也不顾惜这百姓。你将他们从我眼前赶出,叫他们去吧。
Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
15:2 他们问你说,我们往哪里去呢。你便告诉他们,耶和华如此说,定为死亡的,必致死亡。定为刀杀的,必交刀杀。定为饥荒的,必遭饥荒。定为掳掠的,必被掳掠。
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
15:3 耶和华说,我命定四样害他们,就是刀剑杀戮,狗类撕裂,空中的飞鸟,和地上的野兽吞吃毁灭。
And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
15:4 又必使他们在天下万国中抛来抛去,都因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷所行的事。
And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
15:5 耶路撒冷阿,谁可怜你呢。谁为你悲伤呢。谁转身问你的安呢。
For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
15:6 耶和华说,你弃绝了我,转身退后。因此我伸手攻击你,毁坏你。我后悔甚不耐烦。
Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
15:7 我在境内各城门口(或作我在这地边界的关口),用簸箕簸了我的百姓,使他们丧掉儿女。我毁灭他们,他们仍不转离所行的道。
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
15:8 他们的寡妇在我面前比海沙更多。我使灭命的午间来,攻击少年人的母亲,使痛苦惊吓忽然临到她身上。
Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
15:9 生过七子的妇人力衰气绝。尚在白昼,日头忽落。她抱愧蒙羞。其馀的人,我必在他们敌人跟前,交与刀剑。这是耶和华说的。
She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
15:10 我的母亲哪,我有祸了。因你生我作为遍地相争相竞的人。我素来没有借贷与人,人也没有借贷与我,人人却都咒骂我。
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.
15:11 耶和华说,我必要坚固你,使你得好处。灾祸苦难临到的时候,我必要使仇敌央求你。
The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
15:12 人岂能将铜与铁,就是北方的铁折断呢。
Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
15:13 我必因你在四境之内所犯的一切罪,把你的货物财宝当掠物,白白地交给仇敌。
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
15:14 我也必使仇敌带这掠物到你所不认识的地去,因我怒中起的火要将你们焚烧。
And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
15:15 耶和华阿,你是知道的。求你记念我,眷顾我,向逼迫我的人为我报仇。不要向他们忍怒取我的命,要知道我为你的缘故受了凌辱。
O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
15:16 耶和华万军之神阿,我得着你的言语就当食物吃了。你的言语是我心中的欢喜快乐,因我是称为你名下的人。
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
15:17 我没有坐在宴乐人的会中,也没有欢乐。我因你的感动(原文作手)独自静坐,因你使我满心愤恨。
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
15:18 我的痛苦为何长久不止呢。我的伤痕为何无法医治,不能痊愈呢。难道你待我有诡诈,像流乾的河道吗。
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
15:19 耶和华如此说,你若归回,我就将你再带来,使你站在我面前。你若将宝贵的和下贱的分别出来,你就可以当作我的口。他们必归向你,你却不可归向他们。
Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
15:20 我必使你向这百姓成为坚固的铜墙。他们必攻击你,却不能胜你。因我与你同在,要拯救你,搭救你。这是耶和华说的。
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
15:21 我必搭救你脱离恶人的手,救赎你脱离强暴人的手。
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
