14:1
|
耶和华论到干旱之灾的话临到耶利米：
|
|
|
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
|
|
14:2
|
犹大悲哀，城门衰败。众人披上黑衣坐在地上；耶路撒冷的哀声上达。
|
|
|
Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they sit in black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
|
|
14:3
|
他们的贵冑打发家僮打水；他们来到水池，见没有水，就拿着空器皿，蒙羞惭愧，抱头而回。
|
|
|
And their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads.
|
|
14:4
|
耕地的也蒙羞抱头；因为无雨降在地上，地都干裂。
|
|
|
Because of the ground which is cracked, for that no rain hath been in the land, the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their heads.
|
|
14:5
|
田野的母鹿生下小鹿，就撇弃，因为无草。
|
|
|
Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh [her young], because there is no grass.
|
|
14:6
|
野驴站在净光的高处，喘气好像野狗；因为无草，眼目失明。
|
|
|
And the wild asses stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
|
|
14:7
|
耶和华啊，我们的罪孽虽然作见证告我们，还求你为你名的缘故行事。我们本是多次背道，得罪了你。
|
|
|
Though our iniquities testify against us, work thou for thy name`s sake, O Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
|
|
14:8
|
以色列所盼望、在患难时作他救主的啊，你为何在这地像寄居的，又像行路的只住一宵呢？
|
|
|
O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in the time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
|
|
14:9
|
你为何像受惊的人，像不能救人的勇士呢？耶和华啊，你仍在我们中间；我们也称为你名下的人，求你不要离开我们。
|
|
|
Why shouldest thou be as a man affrighted, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
|
|
14:10
|
耶和华对这百姓如此说：这百姓喜爱妄行（原文作飘流），不禁止脚步，所以耶和华不悦纳他们。现今要记念他们的罪孽，追讨他们的罪恶。
|
|
|
Thus saith Jehovah unto this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Jehovah doth not accept them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
|
|
14:11
|
耶和华又对我说：「不要为这百姓祈祷求好处。
|
|
|
And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this people for [their] good.
|
|
14:12
|
他们禁食的时候，我不听他们的呼求；他们献燔祭和素祭，我也不悦纳；我却要用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫灭绝他们。」
|
|
|
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
|
|
14:13
|
我就说：「唉！主耶和华啊，那些先知常对他们说：『你们必不看见刀剑，也不遭遇饥荒；耶和华要在这地方赐你们长久的平安。』」
|
|
|
Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
|
|
14:14
|
耶和华对我说：「那些先知托我的名说假预言，我并没有打发他们，没有吩咐他们，也没有对他们说话；他们向你们预言的，乃是虚假的异象和占卜，并虚无的事，以及本心的诡诈。
|
|
|
Then Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake I unto them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart.
|
|
14:15
|
所以耶和华如此说：论到托我名说预言的那些先知，我并没有打发他们；他们还说这地不能有刀剑饥荒，其实那些先知必被刀剑饥荒灭绝。
|
|
|
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
|
|
14:16
|
听他们说预言的百姓必因饥荒刀剑抛在耶路撒冷的街道上，无人葬埋。他们连妻子带儿女，都是如此。我必将他们的恶倒在他们身上（或作：我必使他们罪恶的报应临到他们身上）。」
|
|
|
And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them-them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
|
|
14:17
|
你要将这话对他们说：愿我眼泪汪汪，昼夜不息，因为我百姓（原文作民的处女）受了裂口破坏的大伤。
|
|
|
And thou shalt say this word unto them, Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
|
|
14:18
|
我若出往田间，就见有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，就见有因饥荒患病的；连先知带祭司在国中往来，也是毫无知识（或作：不知怎样才好）。
|
|
|
If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, they that are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.
|
|
14:19
|
你全然弃掉犹大吗？你心厌恶锡安吗？为何击打我们，以致无法医治呢？我们指望平安，却得不着好处；指望痊愈，不料，受了惊惶。
|
|
|
Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
|
|
14:20
|
耶和华啊，我们承认自己的罪恶，和我们列祖的罪孽，因我们得罪了你。
|
|
|
We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee.
|
|
14:21
|
求你为你名的缘故，不厌恶我们，不辱没你荣耀的宝座。求你追念，不要背了与我们所立的约。
|
|
|
Do not abhor [us], for thy name`s sake; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
|
|
14:22
|
外邦人虚无的神中有能降雨的吗？天能自降甘霖吗？耶和华我们的神啊，能如此的不是你吗？所以，我们仍要等候你，因为这一切都是你所造的。
|
|
|
Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things.
