¹犹大全国昏庸必遭灾祸

¹At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, They bring the bones of the kings of Judah, And the bones of its princes, And the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves,

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。

²And have spread them to sun, and to moon, And to all the host of the heavens, that they have loved, And that they have served, And that they have walked after, And that they have sought, And to which they have bowed themselves, They are not gathered, nor buried, They are for dung on the face of the ground.

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。

³And chosen is death rather than life By all the remnant who are left of this evil family, In all the remaining places, whither I have driven them, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

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？

⁴And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, Do they fall, and not rise? Doth he turn back, and not return?

⁵这人民为什么背道，耶路撒冷为什么长久偏离？他们定意行诡诈，不肯回转。

⁵Wherefore hath this people of Jerusalem Turned back — a perpetual backsliding? They have kept hold on deceit, They have refused to turn back.

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：“我究竟作了什么？”他们各人继续走自己偏差的路，像战马直冲入战场。

⁶I have given attention, yea, I hearken, They do not speak right, No man hath repented of his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? Every one hath turned to his courses, As a horse is rushing into battle.

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。

⁷Even a stork in the heavens hath known her seasons, And turtle, and swallow, and crane, Have watched the time of their coming, And — My people have not known the judgment of Jehovah.

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。

⁸How do ye say, We [are] wise, And the law of Jehovah [is] with us? Surely, lo, falsely it hath wrought, The false pen of scribes.

⁹智慧人必蒙羞，惊惶失措。看哪！他们弃绝了耶和华的话，他们还有什么智慧呢？

⁹Ashamed have been the wise, They have been affrighted, and are captured, Lo, against a word of Jehovah they kicked, And the wisdom of what — have they?

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。

¹⁰Therefore, I give their wives to others, Their fields to dispossessors, For from the least even unto the greatest, Every one is gaining dishonest gain, From prophet even unto priest, every one is dealing falsely.

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。’

¹¹And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! and there is no peace.

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。

¹²They were ashamed when they did abomination! Yea, they are not at all ashamed, And blushing they have not known, Therefore, they do fall among falling ones, In the time of their inspection they stumble, said Jehovah.

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。

¹³I utterly consume them, an affirmation of Jehovah, There are no grapes in the vine, Yea, there are no figs in the fig-tree, And the leaf hath faded, And the strength they have passeth from them.

¹⁴我们为什么坐着不动呢？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。

¹⁴Wherefore are we sitting still? Be gathered, and we go in to the fenced cities, And we are silent there, For Jehovah our God hath made us silent, Yea, He causeth us to drink water of gall, For we have sinned against Jehovah.

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。

¹⁵Looking for peace — and there is no good, For a time of healing, and lo, terror.

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。

¹⁶From Dan hath been heard the snorting of his horses, From the voice of the neighings of his mighty ones, Trembled hath all the land, And they come in and consume the land and its fulness, The city and the inhabitants in it.

¹⁷“看哪！我要打发毒蛇到你们中间，是没有法术能制伏的，它们必咬你们。”这是耶和华的宣告。

¹⁷For, lo, I am sending among you serpents, Vipers that have no charmer, And they have bitten you, an affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁸我的愁苦无法医治（本句按照《马索拉抄本》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。

¹⁸My refreshing for me [is] sorrow, For me my heart [is] sick.

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？”“他们为什么以自己雕刻的偶像，和列国虚无的偶像，来惹我发怒呢？”

¹⁹Lo, the voice of a cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar off, Is Jehovah not in Zion? is her king not in her? Wherefore have they provoked Me with their graven images, With the vanities of a foreigner?

²⁰“收割期已过，夏天也结束；但我们仍未获救。”

²⁰Harvest hath passed, summer hath ended, And we — we have not been saved.

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。

²¹For a breach of the daughter of my people have I been broken, I have been black, astonishment hath seized me.

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”）为什么总不痊愈呢？

²²Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? For wherefore hath not the health of the daughter of my people gone up?
