耶利米书 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
8 耶和华说:“那时,犹大王、首领、祭司、先知及耶路撒冷居民的骸骨都要从坟墓中被挖出来, 2 抛散在他们昔日恋慕、供奉、追随、求问、祭拜的日月星辰之下,无人收殓和埋葬,他们好像地上的粪便。 3 我要把这邪恶民族的余民流放异地,他们在那里必痛不欲生。这是万军之耶和华说的。”
4 耶和华吩咐我对犹大人说:
“人跌倒后难道不站起来吗?
人走错了路难道不回头吗?
5 为什么耶路撒冷的居民一味地背叛我?
他们诡诈成性,不肯回头。
6 我仔细听,没有人说实话,
没有人为自己的恶行后悔,说,
‘我做了可怕的事!’
人人一意孤行,
像战马直奔战场。
7 天空的鹳鸟尚且知道来去的季节,
斑鸠、燕子和白鹤也遵守迁徙的时间,
但我的子民却不认识耶和华的法则。
8 “你们怎能说,‘我们有智慧,
因为我们有耶和华的律法’?
事实上,律法教师撒谎的笔把律法篡改了。
9 智者必蒙羞辱,受惊吓,
被捉拿。
看啊,他们既弃掉耶和华的话,
哪里还有智慧可言呢?
10 因此,我要把他们的妻子和田地交给别人,
因为他们无论贵贱,
个个贪图不义之财;
无论是先知还是祭司,
都行为诡诈。
11 他们敷衍了事地医治我子民的伤痛,说,
‘没事了,没事了!’
其实情况很糟。
12 他们做可憎的事会羞愧吗?
不!他们不知廉耻,
毫不脸红。
因此,他们要与其他人一样灭亡,
死在我的惩罚下。
这是耶和华说的。
13 我要彻底灭绝他们。
葡萄树必没有葡萄,
无花果树必没有果子,
树叶也要枯干,
我所赐给他们的都要被夺走。
这是耶和华说的。”
14 他们说:“我们为什么还坐在这里?
大家一起进入坚城,死在那里吧!
我们的上帝耶和华要毁灭我们,
给我们毒药喝,
因为我们得罪了祂。
15 我们期待平安,
却没有平安;
渴望得到医治,
却饱受惊吓。
16 “从但传来敌人战马的嘶鸣,
声音震动大地。
他们要来吞灭我们的土地和作物、城邑和居民。
17 “看啊,我要派毒蛇去咬你们,
法术无法制服它们。”
这是耶和华说的。
18 我有无限忧愁,伤心欲绝。
19 听啊!远处传来我同胞的哀鸣:
“难道耶和华不在锡安了吗?
难道她的王不在她那里了吗?”
耶和华说:“他们为什么供奉雕刻的神像和外族无用的偶像,惹我发怒?”
20 他们说:“麦收已完,
夏季已过,
但我们还未得救。”
21 同胞的创伤令我伤心欲绝,
痛苦万分,
惊慌失措。
22 难道基列没有药物、
没有医生吗?
为什么我同胞的创伤至今未愈?
耶利米书 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
犹大全国昏庸必遭灾祸
8 “到那一天(这是耶和华的宣告),敌人要把犹大列王、首领、祭司、先知和耶路撒冷居民的骸骨,都从他们的坟墓里取出来, 2 拋散在太阳、月亮和天上的万象之下,就是他们从前所爱慕、服事、跟随、求问、敬拜的。这些骸骨必不再被收殓埋葬,必在地面上成为粪肥。 3 这邪恶的家族剩下的余民,在我驱逐他们到的各地,宁可选择死,也不要存活。”这是万军之耶和华的宣告。
4 “你要对他们说:‘耶和华这样说:
人跌倒了,不再起来吗?
人偏离了,不再回转吗?
5 这人民为甚么背道,
耶路撒冷为甚么长久偏离?
他们定意行诡诈,
不肯回转。
6 我留心听,
但他们都不说真实的话。
没有人为自己的恶行后悔,
说:“我究竟作了甚么?”
他们各人继续走自己偏差的路,
像战马直冲入战场。
7 连空中的鹳鸟也知道自己来去的季候;
斑鸠、燕子和白鹤也谨守迁移的时令;
我的子民却不晓得耶和华的法则。
8 你们怎可以说:“我们是智慧人,
我们有耶和华的律法”呢?
事实上,经学家虚假的笔
已把律法变成谎言了。
9 智慧人必蒙羞,
惊惶失措。
看哪!他们弃绝了耶和华的话,
他们还有甚么智慧呢?
10 因此,我必把他们的妻子给别人,
把他们的田地给别的主人,
因为他们从最小的到最大的,
个个都贪图不义之财;
从先知到祭司,
全都行事诡诈。
11 他们草率地医治我子民(“我子民”原文作“我子民的女子”)的损伤,
说:“平安了!平安了!”
其实没有平安。’
12 耶和华说:
‘他们行了可憎的事,本应觉得羞愧,
可是他们一点羞愧都没有,
恬不知耻。
因此他们必仆倒在倒下的人中间;
我惩罚他们的时候,他们必倒下来。
13 我要彻底除掉他们的庄稼;
葡萄树上必没有葡萄,
无花果树上必没有无花果,
叶子也必枯干。
我赐给他们的,都离开他们过去了。’”
这是耶和华的宣告。
14 我们为甚么坐着不动呢?
你们要集合起来,我们要进入坚固的城里去,
在那里灭亡吧!
因为耶和华我们的 神要我们灭亡,
又把毒水给我们喝,
因我们得罪了耶和华。
15 我们期待平安,却得不到好处;
期待得医治的时候,不料,只有惊慌。
16 从但那里听见敌人战马的喷气声,
全地因听见壮马的嘶鸣声震动。
他们来是要吞灭土地和地上所有的,
要吞灭城和城中的居民。
17 “看哪!我要打发毒蛇到你们中间,
是没有法术能制伏的,
牠们必咬你们。”
这是耶和华的宣告。
18 我的愁苦无法医治(按照《马索拉文本》,本句意思难确定;现参照《七十士译本》翻译),
我的心在我里面悲痛欲绝。
19 听啊!我同胞(“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”)的呼救声,
从遥远之地传来:
“耶和华不在锡安吗?
锡安的王不在其中吗?”
“他们为甚么以自己雕刻的偶像,
和列国虚无的偶像,来惹我发怒呢?”
20 “收割期已过,夏天也结束;
但我们仍未获救。”
21 因着我的同胞(“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”)被压碎,我的心破碎了;
我悲伤痛哭,惊慌抓住了我。
22 难道基列没有乳香吗?
难道那里没有医生吗?
我的同胞(“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”)为甚么总不痊愈呢?
Jeremiah 8
English Standard Version
8 “At that time, declares the Lord, the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be brought out of their tombs. 2 And they shall be spread (A)before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served, which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshiped. (B)And they shall not be gathered or buried. (C)They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground. 3 (D)Death shall be preferred to life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family (E)in all the places where I have driven them, declares the Lord of hosts.
Sin and Treachery
4 “You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord:
(F)When men fall, do they not rise again?
If one turns away, does he not return?
5 Why then has this people (G)turned away
in perpetual (H)backsliding?
(I)They hold fast to deceit;
they refuse to return.
6 (J)I have paid attention and listened,
but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his own course,
(K)like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
7 Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times,
and (L)the turtledove, (M)swallow, and crane[a]
keep the time of their coming,
(N)but my people know not
the rules[b] of the Lord.
8 (O)“How can you say, ‘We are wise,
and the law of the Lord is with us’?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
has made it into a lie.
9 (P)The wise men shall be put to shame;
they shall be dismayed (Q)and taken;
behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom is in them?
10 (R)Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone (S)is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed (T)the wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, (U)they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
(V)Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.
13 When I would gather them, declares the Lord,
there are (W)no grapes on the vine,
(X)nor figs on the fig tree;
(Y)even the leaves are withered,
and what I gave them has passed away from them.”[c]
14 Why do we sit still?
(Z)Gather together; (AA)let us go into the fortified cities
and perish there,
for the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and has (AB)given us (AC)poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 (AD)We looked for peace, but no good came;
for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
16 (AE)“The snorting of their horses is heard (AF)from Dan;
at the sound of the neighing (AG)of their stallions
(AH)the whole land quakes.
They come (AI)and devour the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
17 For behold, I am sending among you (AJ)serpents,
adders (AK)that cannot be charmed,
(AL)and they shall bite you,”
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah Grieves for His People
18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me;[d]
(AM)my heart is sick within me.
19 Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people
from (AN)the length and breadth of the land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
(AO)Is her King not in her?”
(AP)“Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images
and with their foreign idols?”
20 “The harvest is past, the summer is ended,
and we are not saved.”
21 For the wound of (AQ)the daughter of my people is my heart wounded;
(AR)I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me.
22 Is there no (AS)balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of the daughter of my people
not been restored?
