¹劝人民悔改离罪才有转机

¹The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

²“你要站在耶和华的殿门口，在那里宣告这话，说：‘所有进这些门来敬拜耶和华的犹大人哪！你们都要听耶和华的话。’”

²Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before Jehovah:

³万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：“你们要改正自己的所作所为，我就让你们在这地方居住。

³Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.

⁴你们不要倚靠虚谎的话，说：‘这是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿。’

⁴Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah [are] they!

⁵如果你们实在改正自己的所作所为，人与人之间认真施行公正；

⁵For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour,

⁶如果你们不欺压寄居的，不欺压孤儿寡妇，不在这地方流无辜人的血，也不跟从别的神，自招祸患；

⁶Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves,

⁷我就让你们在赐给你们列祖直到永远的这地方居住。

⁷Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age.

⁸“可是，你们竟然倚靠虚谎无益的话。

⁸Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.

⁹你们怎可偷盗、凶杀、奸淫、起假誓、向巴力烧香，跟从你们素不认识的别神，

⁹Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew not.

¹⁰然后来到这称为我名下的殿，站在我面前，说：‘我们安全啦！’你们这样就可以行这一切可憎的事吗？

¹⁰And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, `We have been delivered,` In order to do all these abominations.

¹¹这称为我名下的殿，难道在你们眼中看为贼窝吗？但我都看见了。”这是耶和华的宣告。

¹¹A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.

¹²“你们可以到示罗我的地方去，就是先前我名的居所，看看我因我子民以色列的邪恶，对那地方所行的。

¹²But go ye, I pray you, Unto My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedness of My people Israel.

¹³现在，因你们行了这一切事，我不断恳切告诫你们，你们却不听；我呼唤你们，你们却不答话。”这是耶和华的宣告。

¹³And now, because of your doing all these works, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye have not answered,

¹⁴“所以我从前怎样对待示罗，将来也怎样对待你们所倚靠的那称为我名下的殿，以及我赐给你们和你们列祖的地方。

¹⁴I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh.

¹⁵我必把你们从我面前赶出，像我从前赶出你们的众兄弟，以法莲所有的后裔一样。

¹⁵And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim.

¹⁶“至于你，不要为这人民祈祷，不要为他们呼求祷告，也不要为他们向我恳求，因为我不会听你。

¹⁶And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.

¹⁷他们在犹大的各城中，在耶路撒冷的街道上所行的，你没有看见吗？

¹⁷Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁸儿子捡柴，父亲生火，妇女抟面，为天后做饼，又向别的神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。

¹⁸The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.

¹⁹他们害的是我吗？岂不是他们自己，以致脸上蒙羞吗？”这是耶和华的宣告。

¹⁹Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?

²⁰因此，主耶和华这样说：“看哪！我的怒气和忿怒，必倒在这地方，也必倒在人口、牲畜、田野的树木和地的出产上；怒火烧起，不能熄灭。”

²⁰Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath burned, and it is not quenched.

²¹万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：“你们尽管把燔祭加在平安祭上，自己吃祭肉吧！

²¹Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye flesh.

²²因为我把你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日，燔祭和平安祭的事，我并没有向他们提说，也没有吩咐他们。

²²For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,

²³我只吩咐他们这一件事，说：‘你们要听从我的话，我就作你们的　神，你们也作我的子民；你们要遵行我所吩咐的一切道，好使你们蒙福。’

²³But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye — ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.

²⁴他们却没有听从，也不留心，反倒按着他们的计谋，随从自己顽梗的恶心行事，向后不向前。

²⁴And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.

²⁵自从你们列祖出埃及地的那日直到今日，我差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去，而且是每日不断差遣。

²⁵Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the prophets, Daily rising early and sending,

²⁶你们（“你们”原文作“他们”）却没有听从，毫不留心，反倒硬着颈项行恶，比你们（“你们”原文作“他们”）的列祖还厉害。

²⁶And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.

²⁷“你要把这一切话告诉他们，他们却不听从你；你呼叫他们，他们也不回应。

²⁷And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they do not answer thee.

²⁸然而，你要对他们说：‘这就是不听从耶和华他们　神的话，不受管教的国；诚实丧尽，并已从他们的口中断绝了。

²⁸And thou hast said unto them: This [is] the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from their mouth.

²⁹陀斐特的恶行及刑罚“‘你要剪去头发，并且把它拋掉，上到光秃的高冈举哀，因为耶和华摈斥、弃绝了他所憎恨的世代。’”

²⁹Cut off thy crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up on high places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth the generation of His wrath.

³⁰“因为犹大人行了我看为恶的事，把他们可憎的偶像安放在称为我名下的殿中，污渎了这殿。”这是耶和华的宣告。

³⁰For the sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house On which My name is called — to defile it,

³¹“他们在欣嫩子谷中，建造了陀斐特的邱坛，用火焚烧自己的儿女；这不是我吩咐的，我也没有在心里想过。

³¹And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.

³²因此，看哪！日子快到，人必不再称这地方为陀斐特或欣嫩子谷，却要称它为‘杀戮谷’；人必在陀斐特埋葬尸体，甚至无处可容。”这是耶和华的宣告。

³²Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more, `The Tophet,` And `Valley of the son of Hinnom,` But `Valley of the slaughter,` And they have buried in Tophet — without place.

³³“这人民的尸体，也必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物，没有人来驱赶。

³³And the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.

³⁴那时，我必在犹大的城市中和耶路撒冷的街道上，使欢欣和快乐的声音、新郎和新妇的声音止息，因为这地必要变为荒场。”

³⁴And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land doth become a desolation!
