耶利米书 11
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶利米宣告 神的約
11 耶和華有話臨到耶利米，說： 2 “你要告訴猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民：‘你們要聽從這約的話。’ 3 你要對他們說：‘耶和華以色列的 神這樣說：不聽從這約的話的，必受咒詛。 4 這約就是我把你們的列祖從埃及地、從鐵爐那裡領出來的那天所吩咐他們的，說：你們要聽從我的話，照著我吩咐你們的一切話去行；這樣，你們就作我的子民，我也作你們的 神。 5 我好履行向你們列祖所起的誓，就是把流奶與蜜之地賜給他們，好像今天一樣。’”於是我回答說：“耶和華啊！阿們。”
責猶大背約，必受懲罰
6 耶和華又對我說：“你要在猶大各城中和耶路撒冷的街道上，宣告這一切話，說：‘你們要聽從、遵行這約的話。 7 因為自從我領你們的列祖出埃及地那一天，我已鄭重警告他們，直到今日，我仍不斷警告他們，說：“你們要聽從我的話。” 8 他們卻不聽從，毫不留心，各人隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事。所以，我使這約中一切咒詛的話臨到他們身上。我曾吩咐他們遵行這約，他們卻不遵行。’”
9 耶和華又對我說：“在猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民中間，有背叛的陰謀。 10 他們回到他們祖先所犯的罪孽中。他們的祖先不肯聽從我的話，卻隨從事奉別的神。以色列家和猶大家都違犯了我和他們列祖所立的約。” 11 因此耶和華這樣說：“看哪！我必使災禍臨到他們身上，是他們不能逃脫的；他們雖然向我哀求，我必不聽他們。 12 那時，猶大各城的人和耶路撒冷的居民，都必去哀求他們燒香供奉的神，只是在他們遭難的時候，這些神卻完全不能拯救他們。 13 猶大啊！你的城有多少，你的神也有多少；耶路撒冷的街道有多少，你為那可恥的巴力所設立燒香的祭壇也有多少。
14 “至於你，不要為這人民祈禱，不要為他們呼求禱告，因為他們遭難向我呼求的時候，我必不聽他們。
15 “我所愛的既然行了罪大惡極的事，
還有甚麼資格在我的殿裡呢？
難道祭肉可以消除你的災禍，
使你得著歡樂嗎？”
16 耶和華曾稱你的名字為
壯麗、多結美果的青橄欖樹；
現在他必藉風暴雷轟，
把它燃點起來，
它的枝子也都折斷。
17 那栽種你的萬軍之耶和華，已經宣布降災攻擊你，是因以色列家和猶大家自己所行的惡；他們向巴力燒香，惹我發怒。
耶利米遭人謀害
18 耶和華把他們的陰謀指示我，我就知道了；那時，你把他們所行的給我指明。 19 至於我，我卻像一隻馴良的羊羔，被牽到屠宰之地；我並不知道他們設計謀害我。他們說：
“我們來把這樹和果子（“果子”原文作“它的食物”）都毀滅吧，
把它從活人之地剪除，
使它的名不再被人記念。”
亞拿突人受懲罰
20 但萬軍之耶和華啊！你是憑公義審判人，
試驗人肺腑和心腸的。
求你讓我看見你在他們身上施行的報復，
因為我已經把我的案件向你陳明了。
21 因此耶和華指責那些亞拿突人，他們尋索你命，向你恐嚇說：“不要奉耶和華的名說預言，免得你死在我們手中。” 22 萬軍之耶和華這樣說：“看哪！我要懲罰他們；他們的年輕人必死在刀下，他們的兒女必因饑荒而死。 23 他們中間必沒有餘剩的，因為在懲罰他們的年日，我必使災禍臨到亞拿突人身上。”
Jeremiah 11
English Standard Version
The Broken Covenant
11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 (A)“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 3 You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: (B)Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant 4 that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, (C)from the iron furnace, saying, (D)Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. (E)So shall you be my people, and I will be your God, 5 (F)that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, (G)to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.”
6 And the Lord said to me, (H)“Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: (I)Hear the words of this covenant and do them. 7 For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, (J)warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, (K)Obey my voice. 8 (L)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, (M)but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all (N)the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”
9 Again the Lord said to me, (O)“A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to (P)the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. (Q)They have gone after other gods to serve them. (R)The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. (S)Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (T)will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, (U)but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble. 13 (V)For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, (W)altars to make offerings to Baal.
14 “Therefore (X)do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, (Y)for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble. 15 (Z)What right has my beloved in my house, (AA)when she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? (AB)Can you then exult? 16 The Lord once called you (AC)‘a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ But (AD)with the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and (AE)its branches will be consumed. 17 The Lord of hosts, (AF)who planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, (AG)provoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.”
18 The Lord made it known to me and I knew;
then you showed me their deeds.
19 But I was (AH)like a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
I did not know (AI)it was against me
they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
(AJ)let us cut him off from (AK)the land of the living,
that his name be remembered no more.”
20 But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,
who (AL)tests (AM)the heart and the mind,
(AN)let me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of (AO)Anathoth, (AP)who seek your life, and say, (AQ)“Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— 22 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, 23 and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of (AR)Anathoth, (AS)the year of their punishment.”
Jeremiah 11
King James Version
11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying,
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O Lord.
6 Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.
9 And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 For the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18 And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
20 But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand:
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
