¹责犹大人不听　神的警告

¹The word that hath been unto Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, — it [is] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, —

²耶利米先知就把这话告诉犹大众民和耶路撒冷所有的居民，说：

²Which Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even unto all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

³“从犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚第十三年直到今日，这二十三年来，常有耶和华的话临到我，我也不断对你们传讲，你们却不听从。

³`From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and unto this day — this three and twentieth year — hath the word of Jehovah been unto me, and I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened;

⁴耶和华虽然不断差遣他的仆人众先知到你们那里去；但你们却没有听从，毫不留心。

⁴And Jehovah hath sent unto you all His servants, the prophets, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying:

⁵他们对你们说：‘你们各人要悔改，离开自己的恶道和邪恶的行为，就可以住在耶和华赐给你们和你们列祖的土地上，直到永永远远。’”

⁵`Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that Jehovah hath given to you and to your fathers from age unto age,

⁶“你们不要随从别的神，不要事奉敬拜他们，也不可容你们手所作的惹我发怒；这样，我就不会使祸患临到你们。

⁶And ye do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do ye provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;

⁷但你们没有听从我，竟容你们手所作的惹我发怒，自招祸害。”这是耶和华的宣告。

⁷And ye have not hearkened unto Me — an affirmation of Jehovah — so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.

⁸预言被掳七十年因此，万军之耶和华这样说：“因为你们没有听从我的话，

⁸`Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Because that ye have not obeyed My words,

⁹看哪！我要打发人去征召北方的众族，和我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，领他们来攻击这地和这地的居民，以及周围的列国；我要把他们彻底消灭，使他们成为令人惊骇，受人嗤笑的对象，和永远荒废的地方。”这是耶和华的宣告。

⁹Lo, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north — an affirmation of Jehovah — even unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for wastes age-during.

¹⁰“我要从他们中间除掉欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，推磨的声音和灯的亮光。

¹⁰And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.

¹¹这地要全变为荒废，令人惊骇；这些国家要服事巴比伦王七十年。

¹¹And all this land hath been for a waste, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.

¹²事后惩罚巴比伦“七十年满了以后，我要按着他们的罪孽惩罚巴比伦王和那国，就是迦勒底人之地，使它永远荒凉。”这是耶和华的宣告。

¹²`And it hath come to pass, at the fulness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation — an affirmation of Jehovah — their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for desolations age-during.

¹³“我必使我所说攻击那地的一切话应验在那地；我所说的，就是一切记录在这书上的，是耶利米攻击列国所说的预言。

¹³And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, that Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations.

¹⁴因为许多国家和大君王将要奴役迦勒底人，我必按着他们的作为和他们手所作的报应他们。”

¹⁴For laid service on them — also them — have many nations and great kings, and I have given recompence to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.

¹⁵　神审判列国耶和华以色列的　神对我这样说：“你从我的手中拿这杯烈怒的酒，给列国喝，就是我差遣你去的列国。

¹⁵`For thus said Jehovah God of Israel unto me, Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and thou hast caused all the nations to drink it unto whom I am sending thee;

¹⁶他们喝了，就会东倒西歪，疯狂乱性，因为我打发刀剑到他们中间去。”

¹⁶And they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shewn themselves foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.

¹⁷于是我从耶和华的手中接过这杯，给列国喝，就是耶和华差遣我去的列国，

¹⁷`And I take the cup out of the hand of Jehovah, and cause all the nations to drink unto whom Jehovah sent me:

¹⁸包括耶路撒冷、犹大的城镇，和她的君王、领袖，使这些城镇荒废，成为令人惊骇、被人嗤笑、咒骂的对象，好像今天一样。

¹⁸Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to waste, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day.

¹⁹又包括法老，就是埃及王，和他的臣仆、王侯，以及全体人民，

¹⁹Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,

²⁰并所有外族的人；还有乌斯地的众王、非利士人之地的众王，就是亚实基伦、迦萨，以革伦和亚实突余剩的人的王；

²⁰And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,

²¹并有以东、摩押、亚扪、

²¹Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,

²²推罗的列王、西顿的列王、海外岛屿的列王、

²²And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Zidon, And the kings of the isle that [is] beyond the sea,

²³底但、提玛、布斯，所有剃除鬓发的部落、

²³Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],

²⁴阿拉伯的列王、住在沙漠的外族人的列王、

²⁴And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,

²⁵心利的列王、以拦的列王、玛代的列王、

²⁵And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,

²⁶北方远近的列王，一个一个，以及地上的万国，就是在这地面上的列国，都喝了；他们喝了以后，示沙克王也要喝。

²⁶And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off, one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinketh after them.

²⁷“你要对他们说：‘万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：你们要喝，并要喝醉，呕吐，以致跌倒，不能再起来，因为我打发刀剑到你们中间去。’

²⁷And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts God of Israel, Drink ye, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.

²⁸如果他们不肯从你的手中接过这杯来喝，你就要对他们说：‘万军之耶和华这样说：你们一定要喝。

²⁸And it hath come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of thy hand to drink, That thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do certainly drink.

²⁹因为，看哪！我既然在那称为我名下的城中先降灾祸，你们真可免受惩罚吗？你们必不能免受惩罚，因为我要呼唤刀剑来攻击这地所有的居民。’”这是万军之耶和华的宣告。

²⁹For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am beginning to do evil, And ye — ye are entirely acquitted! Ye are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

³⁰“因此你要对他们宣讲这一切话，对他们说：‘耶和华必从高天吼叫，从他的圣所发声；他必大声吼叫攻击自己的羊圈；他要对地上所有的居民呼喊，像那些踹葡萄的人呼喊一样。

³⁰And thou, thou dost prophesy unto them all these words, and hast said unto them: Jehovah from the high place doth roar, And from His holy habitation giveth forth His voice, He surely roareth for His habitation, A shout as of treaders down, God answereth all the inhabitants of the land,

³¹吶喊的声音要传到地极，因为耶和华要控告列国，也要审判万人；至于恶人，他必把他们交给刀剑。’”这是耶和华的宣告。

³¹Wasting hath come unto the end of the earth, For a controversy hath Jehovah with nations, He hath executed judgment for all flesh, The wicked! He hath given them to the sword, An affirmation of Jehovah.

³²万军之耶和华这样说：“看哪！必有灾祸发出，从这国直到那国；必有大风暴从地极刮起。”

³²Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.

³³到那日，从地的这边到地的那边，都必有被耶和华刺死的人；必没有人为他们悲哀，没有人收殓他们、埋葬他们；他们都必在地面上成为粪肥。

³³And the pierced of Jehovah have been in that day, From the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are.

³⁴牧人啊，你们要哀号，呼叫！羊群的领袖啊，你们要在灰尘中打滚！因为你们被宰杀的日子已经到了；我要粉碎你们，你们要跌倒，像珍贵的器皿跌碎一样。

³⁴Howl, ye shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, ye honourable of the flock, For full have been your days, For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And ye have fallen as a desirable vessel.

³⁵牧人无处逃避，羊群的领袖无法逃脱。

³⁵And perished hath refuge from the shepherds, And escape from the honourable of the flock.

³⁶听啊！牧人的哀叫，羊群的领袖的悲号，因为耶和华正在毁坏他们的牧场。

³⁶A voice [is] of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the honourable of the flock, For Jehovah is spoiling their pasture.

³⁷因为耶和华猛烈的怒气，平静的羊圈毁坏了。

³⁷And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.

³⁸他像狮子离开了洞穴，使他们的国土变成荒野，因为残酷的刀剑（“刀剑”有古抄本作“猛烈”），和他猛烈的怒气临到他们。

³⁸He hath forsaken, as a young lion, His covert, Surely their land hath become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!
