1将来的指望
1Wo to shepherds destroying, And scattering the flock of My pasture, An affirmation of Jehovah.
2因此，耶和华以色列的 神论到牧养他（“他”原文作“我”）子民的牧人这样说：“你们使我的羊群四散，把它们赶走，并没有看顾它们；看哪！我必因你们的恶行惩罚你们。”这是耶和华的宣告。
2Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Against the shepherds who feed My people, Ye have scattered My flock, and drive them away, And have not inspected them, Lo, I am charging on you the evil of your doings, An affirmation of Jehovah.
3“我要亲自把我羊群中余剩的，从我把它们赶逐到的各地，招聚出来，领它们归回自己的羊圈，使它们繁殖增多。
3And I do gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the lands whither I drove them, And have brought them back unto their fold, And they have been fruitful, and multiplied.
4我要兴起牧人，牧养它们；它们必不再恐惧惊慌，一个也不会失掉。”这是耶和华的宣告。
4And I have raised for them shepherds, And they have fed them, And they fear no more, nor are affrighted, Nor are they lacking — an affirmation of Jehovah.
5“看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），我必给大卫兴起一个公义的苗裔；他必执政为王，行事有智慧，在地上施行公正和公义。
5Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have raised to David a righteous shoot, And a king hath reigned and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
6在他执政的日子，犹大必得救，以色列也必安然居住。人要称他的名字为‘耶和华我们的义’。”
6In his days is Judah saved, and Israel dwelleth confidently, And this his name that Jehovah proclaimeth him, `Our Righteousness.`
7“因此，看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），人不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来的永活的耶和华起誓，
7Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they do not say any more, Jehovah liveth who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
8却要指着那领以色列家的后裔从北方之地、从他（“他”原文作“我”）把他们赶逐到的各地上来的、永活的耶和华起誓。他们就必住在自己的地方。”
8But — Jehovah liveth, who brought up, And who brought in, the seed of the house of Israel, From the land of the north, And from all the lands whither I drove them, And they have dwelt on their own ground!
9假先知的罪恶及报应论到那些先知，我的心在我里面破碎，我全身的骨头都发抖。因为耶和华的缘故，又因为他的圣言的缘故，我就像一个醉酒的人，像一个被酒灌醉的人。
9In reference to the prophets: Broken hath been my heart in my midst, Fluttered have all my bones, I have been as a man — a drunkard, And as a man — wine hath passed over him, Because of Jehovah, and of His holy words.
10因为这地满了行淫的人；因受咒诅，地就悲哀，旷野的草场都枯干了；他们走的路是邪恶的，他们的权力误用了。
10For of adulterers hath the land been full, For because of these hath the land mourned, Dried up hath been the pleasant places of the wilderness, And their course is evil, and their might — not right.
11“先知和祭司都不敬虔，甚至在我殿里我也看见他们的邪恶。”这是耶和华的宣告。
11For both prophet and priest have been profane, Yea, in My house I found their wickedness, An affirmation of Jehovah.
12“因此，他们的路必像滑地；他们必被赶逐到黑暗中，必在那里仆倒。因为到了惩罚他们的年日，我必使灾祸临到他们。”这是耶和华的宣告。
12Therefore is their way to them as slippery places, Into thick darkness they are driven, And they have fallen in it, For I bring in against them evil, The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
13“在撒玛利亚的先知中，我看见可厌的事：他们竟奉巴力的名说预言，使我的子民以色列走错了路。
13And in prophets of Samaria I have seen folly, They have prophesied by Baal, And cause my people — Israel — to err.
14在耶路撒冷的先知中，我看见可怕的事。他们犯奸淫，行事虚假，坚固恶人的手，以致没有人离弃恶行；在我看来，他们都像所多玛人，耶路撒冷的居民也像蛾摩拉人一样。”
14And in prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing, Committing adultery, and walking falsely, Yea, they strengthened the hands of evil doers, So that they have not turned back Each from his wickedness, They have been to me — all of them — as Sodom, And its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
15因此，论到这些先知，万军之耶和华这样说：“看哪！我必使他们吃苦堇，喝毒水，因为有不敬虔的风气，从耶路撒冷的先知中散播出来，遍及全地。”
15Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, concerning the prophets: Lo, I am causing them to eat wormwood, And have caused them to drink water of gall, For, from prophets of Jerusalem Hath profanity gone forth to all the land.
16万军之耶和华这样说：“不要听从这些向你们说预言的先知所说的话，他们使你们存有虚幻的希望；他们所讲的异象是出于自己的心思，不是出于耶和华的口。
16Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Ye do not hearken unto the words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you, They are making you vain things, A vision of their own heart they speak, Not from the mouth of Jehovah.
17他们不断对那些藐视我的人说：‘耶和华说：你们必平安无事！’又对所有随从自己顽梗的心行事的人说：‘灾祸必不临到你们！’”
17Saying diligently to those despising The word of Jehovah: Peace is for you, And [to] every one walking in the stubbornness of his heart they have said: Evil doth not come in unto you.
18可是他们中间有谁曾参与耶和华的议会，看见或听见他的话呢？有谁曾留心听他的话而实在听见呢？
18For who hath stood in the counsel of Jehovah, And seeth and heareth His word? Who hath regarded My word, and hearkeneth?
19看哪！耶和华的旋风，在震怒中发出，是旋转的狂风，必卷到恶人的头上。
19Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah — Fury hath gone out, even a piercing whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth.
20耶和华的怒气必不转消，直到他作成和实现他心中的计划。在末后的日子，你们就会完全明白这事。
20The anger of Jehovah doth not turn back Till His doing, and till His establishing, The thoughts of His heart, In the latter end of the days ye attend to it With understanding.
21“我没有差派这些先知，但他们自己到处跑；我没有对他们说话，他们竟擅自说预言。
21I have not sent the prophets, and they have run, I have not spoken unto them, and they have prophesied.
22如果他们曾参与我的议会，就必向我的子民宣告我的信息，使他们转离他们的恶道，离开他们的恶行。
22But — if they stood in My counsel, Then they cause My people to hear My words, And they turn them back from their evil way, And from the evil of their doings.
23难道我只是近处的 神吗？不也是远处的 神吗？”这是耶和华的宣告。
23A God near [am] I — an affirmation of Jehovah, And not a God afar off?
24“人怎能躲藏在隐密处，以致我看不见他呢？（这是耶和华的宣告）。我岂不是充满天地吗？”这是耶和华的宣告。
24Is any one hidden in secret places, And I see him not? an affirmation of Jehovah, Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? An affirmation of Jehovah.
25“那些先知所说的话我都听见了，他们冒我的名说虚假的预言：‘我作了梦！我作了梦！’
25I have heard that which the prophets said, Who prophesy in My name falsehood, saying, `I have dreamed, I have dreamed.`
26那些先知心里存着这样的意念要到几时呢？他们说虚假的预言，说出自己心中的诡诈；
26Till when is it in the heart of the prophets? The prophets of falsehood, Yea, prophets of the deceit of their heart,
27他们以为借着互相传述自己的梦，就可以使我的子民忘记我的名，好像他们的列祖因巴力忘记了我的名一样。
27Who are devising to cause My people To forget My name by their dreams, That they recount each to his neighbour, As their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
28作了梦的先知，让他把梦述说出来；但得了我话语的先知，该忠实地传讲我的话。禾秆怎能和麦子相比呢？”这是耶和华的宣告。
28The prophet with whom [is] a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom [is] My word, Let him truly speak My word. What — to the straw with the corn? An affirmation of Jehovah.
29“我的话不是像火，不是像能打碎岩石的大锤吗？”这是耶和华的宣告。
29Is it not thus? My word [is] as a fire, An affirmation of Jehovah. And as a hammer — it breaketh in pieces a rock.
30“所以，看哪！那些先知互相偷取对方的话，当作我的话，我要对付他们。”这是耶和华的宣告。
30Therefore, lo, I [am] against the prophets, An affirmation of Jehovah, Stealing My words each from his neighbour.
31“看哪！那些先知用自己的舌头说：‘这是耶和华的宣告’，我要对付他们。”这是耶和华的宣告。
31Lo, I [am] against the prophets, An affirmation of Jehovah, Who are making smooth their tongue, And they affirm — an affirmation.
32“看哪！那些借虚假的梦说预言的，我要对付他们。”这是耶和华的宣告。”他们述说这些梦，以虚谎和夸张的话使我的子民走错了路。我没有差派他们，也没有吩咐他们；他们对这人民毫无益处。”这是耶和华的宣告。
32Lo, I [am] against the prophets of false dreams, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they recount them, and cause my people to err, By their falsehoods, and by their instability, And I — I have not sent them, Nor have I commanded them, And they are not at all profitable to this people, An affirmation of Jehovah.
33耶和华的默示“如果这人民、或先知、或祭司问你说：‘耶和华有什么默示呢？’你要回答他们：‘你们就是重担（“你们就是重担”按照《马索拉抄本》应作：“什么默示？”现参照《七十士译本》翻译。“重担”和“默示”原文是同一个字），我要丢弃你们。’”这是耶和华的宣告。
33And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, doth ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of Jehovah? Then thou hast said unto them: Ye [are] the burden, and I have left you, An affirmation of Jehovah.
34“无论是先知、是祭司，或是人民，凡说‘这是耶和华的默示’的，我都要惩罚那人和他的家。”
34And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, That saith, The burden of Jehovah, I have seen after that man, and after his house.
35你们各人对自己的邻舍，对自己的兄弟要这样说：“耶和华回答了什么？耶和华说了什么？”
35Thus do ye say each unto his neighbour, And each unto his brother: What hath Jehovah answered? And what hath Jehovah spoken?
36你们不可再提耶和华的默示，你们各人所说的话将成为自己的重担；因为你们曲解永活的 神万军之耶和华我们 神的话了。
36And the burden of Jehovah ye do not mention any more, For the burden to each is — His word, And ye have overturned the words of the living God, Jehovah of Hosts, our God.
37你们要对 神的先知（“你们要对 神的先知”或译：“耶利米啊，你要对那些先知”）说：“耶和华回答了你什么？耶和华说了什么呢？”
37Thus dost thou say unto the prophet What hath Jehovah answered thee? And what hath Jehovah spoken?
38如果你们仍说：“这是耶和华的默示”，耶和华就必这样说：“你们既然说‘这是耶和华的默示’这句话，而我又曾差派人去告诉你们不可再说‘这是耶和华的默示’；
38And if the burden of Jehovah ye say, Therefore thus said Jehovah: Because of your saying this word, The burden of Jehovah, And I do send unto you, saying, Ye do not say, The burden of Jehovah.
39因此，看哪！我必把你们当作重担举起来（“我必把你们当作重担举起来”或译：“我必定忘记你们”），把你们连同我赐给你们和你们列祖的城都从我面前丢弃。
39Therefore, lo, I — I have taken you utterly away, And I have sent you out, And the city that I gave to you, And to your fathers, from before My face,
40我必使你们蒙受永远的凌辱、永远的羞耻，是不能忘记的。”
40And I have put on you reproach age-during, And shame age-during that is not forgotten!
