Jeremias 11
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
2 Hear you the words of this covenant, and you shall speak to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem;
“当听这约的话，告诉犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民，
3 and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Cursed is the man, who shall not listen to the words of this covenant,
对他们说，耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：不听从这约之话的人必受咒诅。
4 which I commanded your fathers, in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all things that I shall command you; so shall you be to me a people, and I will be to you a God;
这约是我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来、脱离铁炉的那日所吩咐他们的，说：‘你们要听从我的话，照我一切所吩咐的去行。’这样，你们就作我的子民，我也作你们的 神；
5 that I may confirm mine oath, which I sware to your fathers, to give them a land flowing [with] milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then I answered and said, So be it, O Lord.
我好坚定向你们列祖所起的誓，给他们流奶与蜜之地，正如今日一样。”我就回答说：“耶和华啊，阿们！”
6 And the Lord said to me, Read these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of this covenant, and do them.
耶和华对我说：“你要在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街市上，宣告这一切话说：你们当听从遵行这约的话。
因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日，直到今日，都是从早起来，切切告诫他们说：‘你们当听从我的话。’
8 But they did [them] not.
他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟随从自己顽梗的恶心去行。所以我使这约中一切咒诅的话临到他们身上；这约是我吩咐他们行的，他们却不去行。”
9 And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found amongst the men of Juda, and amongst the dwellers in Jerusalem.
耶和华对我说：“在犹大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同谋背叛的事。
10 They are turned [aside] to the iniquities of their fathers that were of old, who would not listen to my words: and, behold, they go after strange gods, to serve them: and the house of Israel and the house of Juda have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
他们转去效法他们的先祖，不肯听我的话，犯罪作孽，又随从别神，事奉它。以色列家和犹大家背了我与他们列祖所立的约。”
11 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evils upon this people, out of which they shall not be able to come forth; and they shall presently cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
所以耶和华如此说：“我必使灾祸临到他们，是他们不能逃脱的。他们必向我哀求，我却不听。
12 And the cities of Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense; which shall not deliver them in the time of their troubles.
那时，犹大城邑的人和耶路撒冷的居民要去哀求他们烧香所供奉的神；只是遭难的时候，这些神毫不拯救他们。
13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to burn incense to Baal.
犹大啊，你神的数目与你城的数目相等；你为那可耻的巴力所筑烧香的坛也与耶路撒冷街道的数目相等。
14 And you, pray not for this people, and intercede not for them in supplication and prayer: for I will not hear in the day in which they call upon me, in the day of their affliction.
“所以你不要为这百姓祈祷，不要为他们呼求祷告；因为他们遭难向我哀求的时候，我必不应允。
15 Why has [my] beloved wrought abomination in my house? will prayers and holy offerings take away your wickedness from you, or shall you escape by these things?
我所亲爱的，既行许多淫乱，圣肉也离了你，你在我殿中做什么呢？你作恶就喜乐。
16 The Lord called your name a fair olive tree, of a goodly shade in appearance, at the noise of its being lopped, fire was kindled against it; great is the affliction [coming] upon you: her branches are become good for nothing.
从前耶和华给你起名叫青橄榄树，又华美又结好果子；如今他用哄嚷之声，点火在其上，枝子也被折断。
17 And the Lord that planted you has pronounced evils against you, because of the iniquity of the house of Israel and the house of Juda, whatever they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger by burning incense to Baal.
原来栽培你的万军之耶和华已经说，要降祸攻击你，是因以色列家和犹大家行恶，向巴力烧香，惹我发怒，是自作自受。”
18 O Lord, teach me, and I shall know: then I saw their practices.
耶和华指示我，我就知道； 你将他们所行的给我指明。
19 But I as an innocent lamb led to the slaughter, knew not: against me they devised an evil device, saying, Come and let us put wood into his bread, and let us utterly destroy him from off the land of the living, and let his name not be remembered any more.
我却像柔顺的羊羔被牵到宰杀之地； 我并不知道他们设计谋害我， 说：我们把树连果子都灭了吧！ 将他从活人之地剪除， 使他的名不再被纪念。
20 O Lord, that judge righteously, trying the reins and hearts, let me see your vengeance [taken] upon them, for to you I have declared my cause.
按公义判断、察验人肺腑心肠的万军之耶和华啊， 我却要见你在他们身上报仇， 因我将我的案件向你禀明了。
21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek my life, that say, You shall not prophesy at all in the name of the Lord, but if you do, you shall die by our hands:
所以，耶和华论到寻索你命的亚拿突人如此说：“他们说：你不要奉耶和华的名说预言，免得你死在我们手中。
22 behold, I will visit them: their young men shall die by the sword; and their sons and their daughters shall die of famine:
所以万军之耶和华如此说：看哪，我必刑罚他们；他们的少年人必被刀剑杀死，他们的儿女必因饥荒灭亡，
23 and there shall be no remnant [left] of them; for I will bring evil upon the dwellers in Anathoth, in the year of their visitation.
并且没有余剩的人留给他们；因为在追讨之年，我必使灾祸临到亚拿突人。”
