¹Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!

¹假神与真神无法相比

²Thus says Yahweh, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.

²耶和华这样说：“你们不要学习列国的行径，列国因天象惊惶，你们却不要因这些惊惶。

³For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

³因为万民所信奉的都是虚空，只是从林中砍下的树木，是匠人用凿刀制成的产品。

⁴They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.

⁴他们用金银把它修饰，用钉子和锤子把它钉牢，使它不动摇。

⁵They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak: they must be carried, because they can’t go. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”

⁵它们像瓜田里的稻草人，不能说话；它们必须要人抬着走，因为它们不能走路。你们不要害怕它们，因它们不能降祸，也不能降福。”

⁶There is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in might.

⁶耶和华啊！没有可以跟你相比的；你是伟大的，你的名大有能力。

⁷Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.

⁷万国的王啊！谁敢不敬畏你呢？这是你应得的。因为在列国所有的智慧人中，以及在他们的全国里，没有可以跟你相比的。

⁸But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

⁸他们全是顽梗愚昧，他们所领受的教导是来自那些虚无、木做的偶像。

⁹There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.

⁹那些偶像镶有经过锤炼的银片，银子是从他施运来的，也有从乌法运来的金子，都是匠人和金匠手作的产品。它们穿着蓝色和紫色的衣服，全都是巧匠的作品。

¹⁰But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.

¹⁰只有耶和华是真神；他是永活的　神，是永远的君王。他一发怒，大地就震动，万国都不能抵受他的忿怒。

¹¹You shall say this to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

¹¹你们要对他们这样说：“那些没有创造天地的神，必从地上、从天下消灭。”

¹²He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

¹²耶和华用自己的能力创造了大地，用自己的智慧坚立了世界，又用自己的聪明展开了诸天。

¹³when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.

¹³他一发声，空中众水就澎湃；他使云雾从地极上腾；他造了闪电和雷雨，又使风从他的仓库里吹出来。

¹⁴Every man has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁴人人都是顽梗无知；所有的金匠都因偶像羞愧，因为他们铸造的像都是虚假、没有气息的。

¹⁵They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁵偶像都是虚无的，是荒谬可笑的作品；到了讨罪的时候，它们必被除灭。

¹⁶The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name.

¹⁶那作雅各产业的并不像这些偶像，因为他是万物的创造者；以色列是属他的民族，万军之耶和华是他的名。

¹⁷Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.

¹⁷不能逃避的灾祸住在被围困的城中的人哪！你们从地上拾起自己的行囊。

¹⁸For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.

¹⁸因为耶和华这样说：“看哪！在这时候，我要把这地的居民投掷出去；又使他们受困苦，以致他们被压倒。”

¹⁹Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.

¹⁹因我的损伤，我有祸了！我的创伤不能医治；但我说：“这是我的痛苦，我必须忍受。”

²⁰My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

²⁰我的帐棚毁坏，我的绳索都折断了；我的儿女都离我而去，不在这里了；再没有人支搭我的帐棚，挂起我的幔子。

²¹For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Yahweh: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

²¹牧人都是顽梗的，他们不求问耶和华；因此，他们不得亨通，他们所有的羊群都四散。

²²The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.

²²听哪！有风声传来，有大骚动从北方之地而来，要使犹大的城市荒凉，成为野狗的巢穴。

²³Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

²³耶和华啊！我知道人的道路是不由自己的；人行走时，也不能确定自己的脚步。

²⁴Yahweh, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.

²⁴耶和华啊！求你只按着公正惩治我，不要按着你的忿怒施行惩治，免得你使我衰微。

²⁵Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

²⁵愿你把你的烈怒倾倒在不认识你的列国，和不求告你名的万族身上；因为他们吞吃了雅各，他们吞吃了他，把他消灭，使他的住处荒凉。
