耶利米書 16
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
主示耶利米斯土必滅
16 耶和華的話又臨到我說: 2 「你在這地方不可娶妻,生兒養女。 3 因為論到在這地方所生的兒女,又論到在這國中生養他們的父母,耶和華如此說: 4 他們必死得甚苦,無人哀哭,必不得葬埋,必在地上像糞土,必被刀劍和饑荒滅絕。他們的屍首必給空中的飛鳥和地上的野獸做食物。
5 「耶和華如此說:不要進入喪家,不要去哀哭,也不要為他們悲傷,因我已將我的平安、慈愛、憐憫從這百姓奪去了。這是耶和華說的。 6 連大帶小,都必在這地死亡,不得葬埋。人必不為他們哀哭,不用刀劃身,也不使頭光禿。 7 他們有喪事,人必不為他們擘餅,因死人安慰他們。他們喪父喪母,人也不給他們一杯酒安慰他們。 8 你不可進入宴樂的家,與他們同坐吃喝。 9 因為萬軍之耶和華以色列的神如此說:你們還活著的日子,在你們眼前,我必使歡喜和快樂的聲音、新郎和新婦的聲音,從這地方止息了。
斯民較其列祖尤惡
10 「你將這一切的話指示這百姓,他們問你說:『耶和華為什麼說要降這大災禍攻擊我們呢?我們有什麼罪孽呢?我們向耶和華我們的神犯了什麼罪呢?』 11 你就對他們說:『耶和華說:因為你們列祖離棄我,隨從別神,侍奉敬拜,不遵守我的律法。 12 而且你們行惡比你們列祖更甚,因為各人隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事,甚至不聽從我。 13 所以我必將你們從這地趕出,直趕到你們和你們列祖素不認識的地,你們在那裡必晝夜侍奉別神,因為我必不向你們施恩。』」
許以色列人仍歸故土
14 耶和華說:「日子將到,人必不再指著那領以色列人從埃及地上來之永生的耶和華起誓, 15 卻要指著那領以色列人從北方之地,並趕他們到的各國上來之永生的耶和華起誓。並且我要領他們再入我從前賜給他們列祖之地。」
16 耶和華說:「我要召許多打魚的把以色列人打上來,然後我要召許多打獵的,從各山上、各岡上、各石穴中獵取他們。 17 因我的眼目察看他們的一切行為,他們不能在我面前遮掩,他們的罪孽也不能在我眼前隱藏。 18 我先要加倍報應他們的罪孽和罪惡,因為他們用可憎之屍玷汙我的地土,又用可厭之物充滿我的產業。」
偶像虛偽誕妄無益
19 耶和華啊,你是我的力量,是我的保障,在苦難之日是我的避難所。列國人必從地極來到你這裡,說:「我們列祖所承受的不過是虛假,是虛空無益之物。 20 人豈可為自己製造神呢?其實這不是神!」
21 耶和華說:「我要使他們知道,就是這一次使他們知道我的手和我的能力,他們就知道我的名是耶和華了。」
Jeremiah 16
New International Version
Day of Disaster
16 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “You must not marry(A) and have sons or daughters in this place.” 3 For this is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers:(B) 4 “They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried(C) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(D) They will perish by sword and famine,(E) and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”(F)
5 For this is what the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity(G) from this people,” declares the Lord. 6 “Both high and low will die in this land.(H) They will not be buried or mourned,(I) and no one will cut(J) themselves or shave(K) their head for the dead. 7 No one will offer food(L) to comfort those who mourn(M) for the dead—not even for a father or a mother—nor will anyone give them a drink to console(N) them.
8 “And do not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink.(O) 9 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds(P) of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride(Q) and bridegroom in this place.(R)
10 “When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?’(S) 11 then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped(T) them. They forsook me and did not keep my law.(U) 12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your ancestors.(V) See how all of you are following the stubbornness of your evil hearts(W) instead of obeying me. 13 So I will throw you out of this land(X) into a land neither you nor your ancestors have known,(Y) and there you will serve other gods(Z) day and night, for I will show you no favor.’(AA)
14 “However, the days are coming,”(AB) declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(AC) 15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north(AD) and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’(AE) For I will restore(AF) them to the land I gave their ancestors.(AG)
16 “But now I will send for many fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will catch them.(AH) After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt(AI) them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks.(AJ) 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden(AK) from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.(AL) 18 I will repay(AM) them double(AN) for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land(AO) with the lifeless forms of their vile images(AP) and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols.(AQ)”(AR)
19 Lord, my strength and my fortress,
my refuge(AS) in time of distress,
to you the nations will come(AT)
from the ends of the earth and say,
“Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods,(AU)
worthless idols(AV) that did them no good.(AW)
20 Do people make their own gods?
Yes, but they are not gods!”(AX)
21 “Therefore I will teach them—
this time I will teach them
my power and might.
Then they will know
that my name(AY) is the Lord.
Jeremiah 16
King James Version
16 The word of the Lord came also unto me, saying,
2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
5 For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies.
6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:
7 Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your 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 it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?
11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The Lord.
