1耶路撒冷的罪恶
1Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you, and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness — Then am I propitious to her.
2城里的人虽然指着永活的耶和华起誓，其实，他们起的誓是假的。”
2And if they say, `Jehovah liveth,` Surely to a falsehood they swear.
3耶和华啊！你的眼目不是要看诚实的事吗？你击打他们，他们却不觉得伤痛；你摧毁他们，他们仍不肯接受管教。他们板着脸，脸皮比磐石还硬，总不肯回转。
3Jehovah, Thine eyes, are they not on stedfastness? Thou hast smitten them, and they have not grieved, Thou hast consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.
4我说：“这些人只是贫穷小民，为人愚昧；他们不晓得耶和华的道路，也不明白他们 神的法则。
4And I — I said, `Surely these [are] poor, They have been foolish, For they have not known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.
5我要亲自去见那些权贵领袖，跟他们谈谈；因为他们晓得耶和华的道路，也明白他们 神的法则。”谁知他们竟一起把轭折断，挣脱绳索。
5I get me to the great, and I speak with them, For they have known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.` Surely they together have broken the yoke, They have drawn away the bands.
6因此，狮子必从林中出来袭击他们，旷野的豺狼要杀害他们，豹子在他们的城边窥伺，出城的都必被撕碎；因为他们的过犯众多，背道的事也无法数算。
6Therefore smitten them hath a lion out of the forest, A wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, A leopard is watching over their cities, Every one who is going out of them is torn, For many have been their transgressions, Mighty have been their backslidings.
7“为什么我要赦免你？你的儿女离弃我，指着那些不是神的起誓。我使他们饱足，他们却去行淫，一起挤在妓院里。
7For this I am not propitious to thee, Thy sons have forsaken Me, And are satisfied by that which is not god, I satisfy them, and they commit adultery, And at the house of a harlot They gather themselves together.
8他们像饱食的马，情欲奔放，各向别人的妻子嘶叫。
8Fed horses — they have been early risers, Each to the wife of his neighbour they neigh.
9我因这些事怎能不施行惩罚呢？像这样的国家，我怎能不亲自报复呢？”这是耶和华的宣告。
9For these do I not lay a charge? An affirmation of Jehovah, And on a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?
10“你们要走进她的葡萄园（“葡萄园”原文作“葡萄树的行列”）里施行毁坏，但不可毁灭她的枝子，因为它们不属耶和华。
10Go ye up on her walls, and destroy, And a completion make not, Turn aside her branches, for they [are] not Jehovah`s,
11以色列家和犹大家，待我实在太奸诈了。”这是耶和华的宣告。
11For dealt treacherously against Me have the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah.
12他们不信耶和华，说：“他不会作什么，灾祸必不临到我们，我们也不会看见刀剑和饥荒。
12They have lied against Jehovah, And they say, `[It is] not He, Nor come in against us doth evil, Yea, sword and famine we do not see.
13先知不过是一阵风，主的道也不在他们里面；他们所说的必临到他们身上。”
13And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them,` — thus it is done by them.
14因此，耶和华万军之 神这样说：“因他们说了这话，我必使我的话在你口中成为火，使这人民成为柴，火要把他们吞灭。
14Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, Because of your speaking this word, Lo, I am making My words in thy mouth become fire, And this people wood, and it hath devoured them.
15以色列家啊！我必使一国从远方来攻击你们。”这是耶和华的宣告。”那国历久不衰，从古就有；他们的言语你们不懂得，他们所说的你们不明白。
15Lo, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah, A nation — strong it [is], a nation — from of old it [is], A nation — thou knowest not its tongue, Nor understandest what it speaketh.
16他们的箭囊像敞开的坟墓，他们尽都是勇士。
16Its quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, All of them — mighty ones.
17他们必吞灭你们的庄稼和粮食，吞灭你的儿女，你们的羊群牛群，以及你们的葡萄和无花果；他们也必用刀剑毁坏你们所倚仗的坚固城。
17And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock, and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting — by the sword.
18就是到了那时，我也不把你们完全毁灭。”这是耶和华的宣告。
18And even in those days, an affirmation of Jehovah, I do not make you a completion.
19“将来如果有人问：‘耶和华我们的 神，为什么向我们行这一切事呢？’你就要对他们说：‘你们怎样离弃我，在你们的土地上事奉外族人的神，你们也要在不属你们的土地上照样服事外族人。’”
19And it hath come to pass, when ye say, `For what hath Jehovah our God done to us all these?` That thou hast said unto them, `As ye have forsaken Me, And serve the gods of a foreigner in your land, So do ye serve strangers in a land not yours.
20 神的警告你们要在雅各家宣告这事，在犹大传扬，说：
20Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, And sound ye it in Judah, saying,
21“愚昧无知的民哪！你们有眼不能看，有耳不能听；你们应当听这话：
21Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and they hear not.
22‘你们连我都不惧怕吗？在我面前你们也不战兢吗？’这是耶和华的宣告。’我以沙作海的疆界，作永远的界限，海就不能越过；波浪翻腾，却不能漫过；怒涛澎湃，仍无法逾越。
22Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.
23可是这人民，竟存着顽梗悖逆的心；背我而去。’
23And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
24他们心里也不想想：‘我们应当敬畏耶和华我们的 神，他按时赐雨，就是秋雨春霖，又为我们保存定时收割的节令。’
24And they have not said in their heart, `Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.`
25你们的罪孽使这些都离开了，你们的罪恶剥夺了你们的幸福。
25Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
26在我的子民中发现了恶人，他们好像捕鸟的人蹲伏窥探，装置网罗捕捉人。
26For the wicked have been found among My people. It looketh about the covering of snares, They have set up a trap — men they capture.
27笼中怎样满了雀鸟，他们的屋里也满了诡诈；他们就因此财雄势大。
27As a cage full of fowls, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.
28他们肥胖光润，作尽各种坏事；他们不为人辩护，不替孤儿辨屈，使他们获益，也不为穷人伸冤。
28They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless — and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.
29我因这些事怎能不施行惩罚呢？像这样的国家，我怎能不亲自报复呢？”这是耶和华的宣告。
29For these do not I inspect, an affirmation of Jehovah, On a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?
30“恐怖骇人的事在国中发生了。
30An astonishing and horrible thing hath been in the land.
31先知说假预言，祭司凭己意把持权柄。我的子民竟喜爱这样，到了结局你们怎么办呢？”
31The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved [it] so, And what do they at its latter end?
