耶利米书 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶和华降灾难的日子
16 耶和华对耶利米说: 2 “你不可在这地方娶妻,也不可生儿育女。 3 至于在这地方出生的孩子和他们的父母,耶和华说, 4 ‘他们必死于恶疾,无人哀悼,无人埋葬,他们好像地上的粪便。他们必死于战争和饥荒,尸首必成为飞鸟和走兽的食物。’” 5 耶和华对我说:“你不要进入丧家为他们哀悼悲伤,因为我已收回我赐给这百姓的平安、慈爱和怜悯。这是耶和华说的。 6 他们无论尊卑都要死在这里,无人埋葬,无人哀悼,也无人为他们的死而割伤身体、剃光头发。 7 无人用食物和酒安慰哀悼者,甚至无人给丧父或丧母者一杯安慰酒。 8 你不可进入宴乐之家与他们同坐吃喝。” 9 以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说:“在这百姓有生之年,我要使这地方的欢乐声和新郎新娘的欢笑声从他们眼前消失。
10 “当你把这些话告诉他们的时候,他们会质问你,‘耶和华为什么给我们降这大灾难?我们有什么罪?我们哪里得罪了我们的上帝耶和华?’ 11 你要对他们说,‘耶和华说,你们的祖先背弃我,去跟随、供奉、祭拜别的神明;他们背弃我,不遵守我的律法。 12 可是,你们的行为比他们更邪恶,一意孤行,不听从我。 13 所以,我要把你们从这里驱逐到你们和你们祖先都不认识的地方,你们在那里要日夜供奉别的神明,因为我不再恩待你们。’”
14 耶和华说:“时候将到,那时人不再凭把以色列人带出埃及的耶和华起誓, 15 而是凭把他们从流放之地——北方和列国领回来的永活的耶和华起誓。因为我必领他们回到我赐给他们祖先的地方。”
16 耶和华说:“看啊,我要召来许多渔夫把他们捕捞上来,我要召来许多猎人去各山岭和岩穴猎取他们。 17 因为我鉴察他们的一切行为,他们无法隐藏,他们的罪恶逃不过我的眼晴。 18 首先,我要让他们因自己的罪与恶而受加倍的报应,因为他们用没有生命气息的可憎偶像玷污我的土地,使可厌之物充满我的产业。”
19 耶和华啊,你是我的力量,
是我的堡垒,
是我患难时的避难所。
万国都要从地极来朝见你,
说:“我们祖先所拜的神像虚假无用,一无是处。
20 难道人可以为自己制造神明吗?
其实那些神明并不是真神。”
21 耶和华说:“看啊,这一次我要让他们知道我的权柄和能力,让他们知道我是耶和华。”
耶利米书 16
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶和華指示耶利米猶大必滅
16 耶和華的話臨到我,說: 2 “在這地方你不可娶妻,不可生兒育女。” 3 因為論到這地方出生的兒女,和在這地生養他們的父母,耶和華這樣說: 4 “他們都必死於致命的疫症,沒有人為他們哀哭,他們的屍體也沒有人埋葬,必在地面上成為糞肥。他們必被刀劍和饑荒所滅,他們的屍體成了空中飛鳥和地上走獸的食物。”
5 耶和華這樣說:“你不可進入喪家,也不可去為他們哀哭悲傷;因為我已經從這人民身上收回我的平安、慈愛和憐憫。”這是耶和華的宣告。 6 “尊大的和卑微的都必死在這地;沒有人埋葬他們,沒有人為他們哀哭,也沒有人為他們割傷自己,剃光頭髮。 7 沒有人為哀悼的人擘餅,為死者安慰他們;喪父或喪母的人,都沒有人給他們喝一杯安慰酒。 8 你也不可進入歡宴之家,跟他們同坐,一起吃喝。 9 因為萬軍之耶和華以色列的 神這樣說:‘看哪!我必在你們眼前,在你們還活著的日子,使歡笑和快樂的聲音,新郎和新娘的聲音,都從這地方止息了。’”
10 “你向這人民傳講這一切時,如果他們問你:‘耶和華為甚麼宣告這一切嚴重的災禍對付我們呢?我們有甚麼罪孽?我們犯了甚麼罪,得罪了耶和華我們的 神呢?’ 11 你就要回答他們:‘因為你們的列祖離棄了我(這是耶和華的宣告),他們隨從別的神,事奉敬拜他們;他們離棄了我,不遵守我的律法。 12 至於你們,你們作壞事比你們的列祖更厲害;看哪!你們各人都隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事,不聽從我。 13 因此,我要把你們從這地趕出去,去到你們和你們列祖所不認識的地;你們在那裡必晝夜事奉別的神,因為我不再向你們施恩。’
預言以色列人回歸
14 “看哪!日子快到,人必不再指著那領以色列人從埃及地上來的永活的耶和華起誓。”這是耶和華的宣告。 15 “他們卻要指著那領以色列人從北方之地,從他們被趕逐到的各國上來的永活的耶和華起誓。因我要領他們回到自己的土地,就是我從前賜給他們列祖的。
16 “看哪!我要差人去叫許多漁夫來,捕捉以色列人;然後我要差人去叫許多獵人來,從各大山、小山和巖石的裂縫裡,獵取他們。”這是耶和華的宣告。 17 “因為我的眼察看他們所行的一切;在我面前這一切都無法隱藏,他們的罪孽不能從我眼前遮掩起來。 18 首先我要加倍報應他們的罪孽和罪惡,因為他們用自己那些毫無生氣、可憎的偶像(“毫無生氣,可憎的偶像”原文作“可憎的偶像的屍體”)玷污了我的土地,他們那些可厭之物充滿了我的產業。”
耶和華是真神
19 耶和華,我的力量、我的堡壘、
我遭難時的避難所啊!
萬國要從地極前來朝見你,說:
“我們列祖所承受的只是虛假的偶像,
是虛空、一無用處的。
20 人豈能為自己製造神呢?
其實這些偶像並不是神。”
21 “因此,看哪!我要使他們知道,
這一次我必叫他們認識
我的手和我的能力,
他們就知道我的名是耶和華。”

耶和華降災難的日子
16 耶和華對耶利米說: 2 「你不可在這地方娶妻,也不可生兒育女。 3 至於在這地方出生的孩子和他們的父母,耶和華說, 4 『他們必死於惡疾,無人哀悼,無人埋葬,他們好像地上的糞便。他們必死於戰爭和饑荒,屍首必成為飛鳥和走獸的食物。』」 5 耶和華對我說:「你不要進入喪家為他們哀悼悲傷,因為我已收回我賜給這百姓的平安、慈愛和憐憫。這是耶和華說的。 6 他們無論尊卑都要死在這裡,無人埋葬,無人哀悼,也無人為他們的死而割傷身體、剃光頭髮。 7 無人用食物和酒安慰哀悼者,甚至無人給喪父或喪母者一杯安慰酒。 8 你不可進入宴樂之家與他們同坐吃喝。」 9 以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說:「在這百姓有生之年,我要使這地方的歡樂聲和新郎新娘的歡笑聲從他們眼前消失。
10 「當你把這些話告訴他們的時候,他們會質問你,『耶和華為什麼給我們降這大災難?我們有什麼罪?我們哪裡得罪了我們的上帝耶和華?』 11 你要對他們說,『耶和華說,你們的祖先背棄我,去跟隨、供奉、祭拜別的神明;他們背棄我,不遵守我的律法。 12 可是,你們的行為比他們更邪惡,一意孤行,不聽從我。 13 所以,我要把你們從這裡驅逐到你們和你們祖先都不認識的地方,你們在那裡要日夜供奉別的神明,因為我不再恩待你們。』」
14 耶和華說:「時候將到,那時人不再憑把以色列人帶出埃及的耶和華起誓, 15 而是憑把他們從流放之地——北方和列國領回來的永活的耶和華起誓。因為我必領他們回到我賜給他們祖先的地方。」
16 耶和華說:「看啊,我要召來許多漁夫把他們捕撈上來,我要召來許多獵人去各山嶺和岩穴獵取他們。 17 因為我鑒察他們的一切行為,他們無法隱藏,他們的罪惡逃不過我的眼晴。 18 首先,我要讓他們因自己的罪與惡而受加倍的報應,因為他們用沒有生命氣息的可憎偶像玷污我的土地,使可厭之物充滿我的產業。」
19 耶和華啊,你是我的力量,
是我的堡壘,
是我患難時的避難所。
萬國都要從地極來朝見你,
說:「我們祖先所拜的神像虛假無用,一無是處。
20 難道人可以為自己製造神明嗎?
其實那些神明並不是真神。」
21 耶和華說:「看啊,這一次我要讓他們知道我的權柄和能力,讓他們知道我是耶和華。」
Jeremiah 16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
16 The word of the Lord came also to me, saying,
2 You shall not take a wife or have sons and daughters in this place [Jerusalem].
3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place and concerning the mothers who bore them and the fathers who begot them in this land:
4 They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried, but they shall be like dung upon the face of the ground. They shall perish and be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall be food for the fowls of the air and for the beasts of the earth.
5 For thus says the Lord: Enter not into the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan [the dead], for I have taken away My peace from this people, says the Lord, even My steadfast love and loving-kindness and tender mercy.
6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them or cut themselves or make themselves bald for them.
7 Neither shall men prepare food for the mourners to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 And you [Jeremiah] shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them to eat and drink.
9 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease from this place before your very eyes and in your days the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 And when you tell these people all these words and they inquire of you, Why has the Lord decreed all this enormous evil against us? Or, What is our iniquity? Or, What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?
11 Then you shall say to them, [It is] because your fathers have forsaken Me, says the Lord, and have walked after other gods and have served and worshiped them and have forsaken Me and have not kept My law,
12 And because you have done worse than your fathers. For behold, every one of you walks after the stubbornness of his own evil heart, so that you do not listen to and obey Me.
13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land [of Judah] into the land [of the Babylonians] neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor there.
14 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it shall no more be said, As the Lord lives, Who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
15 But, As the Lord lives, Who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries to which He had driven them. And I will bring them again to their land which I gave to their fathers.
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, says the Lord, and they will fish them out; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and out of the clefts of the rocks.
17 For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, neither is their iniquity concealed from My eyes.
18 First [before I bring them back to their land] I will doubly recompense and punish them for their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols and with the abominable things offered to false gods with which they have filled My inheritance.
19 [Then said Jeremiah] O Lord, my Strength and my Stronghold, and my Refuge in the day of affliction, to You shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, emptiness, and futility, worthless things in which there is no profit!
20 Can a man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!
21 Therefore [says the Lord] behold, I will make them know—[yes] this once I will make them know My power and My might; and they will know and recognize that My name is the Lord.
