< 耶利米書 15 >

1 上主對我說:「縱使梅瑟和撒慕爾立在我面前,我的的心仍不轉向這人民;你由我面前將他們驅逐,叫他們離去。
And he said Yahweh to me if he will stand Moses and Samuel before me not soul my [will be] to the people this send [them] away from on face my so they may go out.
2 假如人對你說:我們往哪裏去﹖你就對他們說:上主這樣說:「該死的就死,該殺的就殺,該挨餓的就挨餓,該被擄去的,就被擄去。
And it will be that they will say to you where? will we go out and you will say to them thus he says Yahweh [those] who [are] for death to death and [those] who [are] for the sword to the sword and [those] who [are] for the famine to the famine and [those] who [are] for captivity to captivity.
3 我必用四種型罰來懲罰他們──上主的斷語──用刀劍來殺,用野狗來拖,用天空的飛鳥和地上的野獸來吞食,來消滅。
And I will appoint over them four kinds [the] utterance of Yahweh the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] animal[s] of the earth to devour and to destroy.
4 我為了猶大王希則克雅的兒子默納舍在耶路撒冷所行的事,必使他們成為地上萬國所恐怖的對象。
And I will make them (into a terror *QK) for all [the] kingdoms of the earth on account of Manasseh [the] son of Hezekiah [the] king of Judah on [that] which he did in Jerusalem.
5 耶路撒冷! 誰還憐恤你,誰還同情你,誰還轉身向你安﹖
For who? will he have compassion on you O Jerusalem and who? will he show sympathy to you and who? will he turn aside to ask to welfare of you.
6 你既離棄了我──上主的斷語──轉身背著我,我就只有對你伸出我的手,將你消滅;我對寬恕已感厭倦:
You you abandoned me [the] utterance of Yahweh backwards you go and I have stretched out hand my on you and I have destroyed you I had wearied myself to relent.
7 我要在這地的城門口,用簸箕將他們簸散,使他們喪失子女;我要消滅我的人民,因為他們不離開自己的行徑。
And I have winnowed them with a winnowing scoop in [the] gates of the land I have made childless I have destroyed people my from ways their not they have turned away.
8 他們的寡婦已多過海邊的沙粒;我要給他們招來午間的破壞者,襲擊英俊勇士的母親,使痛苦和恐怖突然降到她身上。
They are numerous to me (widows its *QK) more than [the] sand of [the] seas I have brought to them on a mother of a young man a destroyer at noon I have made fall on her suddenly anguish and sudden terror.
9 生過七個子女的母親,現已身衰氣絕,還是白天,她的太陽已經西落,她只有絕望惆悵;至於他們的遺民,我必使他們在敵人面前死於刀下──上主的斷語。
She has grown feeble [one who] bore seven [children] it has panted breath her (it went *Qk) sun her while still by day she is ashamed and she is abashed and remnant their to the sword I will give before enemies their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
10 我的母親! 我真不幸! 你竟生了我這與普世對抗相的人。我沒有向人借貸,人也沒有向我借貸,人卻都辱罵我。
Woe! to me O mother my that you gave birth to me a man of strife and a man of contention to all the land not I have lent and not people have lent to me all of him [are] cursing me.
11 實在,上主,我豈沒有盡力事奉你﹖我豈沒有在災難禍患時向你懇求﹖
He said Yahweh if not (I will set free you *QK) for good if not - I will cause to plead with you in a time evil and in a time of distress the enemy.
12 人豈能折斷北方的鐵和銅﹖
¿ Will it break iron - iron from [the] north and bronze.
13 [我必使你的財產和寶藏,任人搶奪,為補償你在你全境內犯的罪惡,
Wealth your and treasures your to plunder I will give not for price and on all sins your and in all territories your.
14 叫你在你不認識的地方,給你的仇敵為奴,因為我的怒火已燃起,必對你們發作] 。
And I will make to pass enemies your in a land [which] not you have known for a fire it has been kindled in anger my towards you it will burn.
15 上主,你都知道,求你回念我,眷顧我,為我報復迫害我的人,不要因你太忍耐,就讓我死去;你該知道:正是為了你,我才受人侮辱。
You you know O Yahweh remember me and visit me and avenge yourself for me from [those who] harass me may not to [the] length of anger your you take away me know bearing my on you reproach.
16 你的話一來到,我就去吞下去;你的話成了我的喜悅,我心中的歡樂,上主,萬軍的天主! 因為我是歸於你名下的,
They were found words your and I ate them and it became (word your *QK) to me a joy and [the] delight of heart my for it is called name your on me O Yahweh [the] God of hosts.
17 我從沒有坐在歡笑者的集會中一同取樂;我卻依你的指示獨自靜坐,因為你使我憤怒填胸。
Not I sat in [the] assembly of merry makers and I rejoiced because of hand your alone I sat for indignation you filled me.
18 為什麼我的痛苦如此久長,我的創傷不可醫治,痊愈無望﹖你於我好像是一條不常有水,而變化無常的溪流!
Why? is it pain my perpetuity and wound my incurable it has refused to be healed certainly you are to me like a deceitful thing waters [which] not they are reliable.
19 為此上主這樣說:「你若回來,我必讓你回來,使你能在立在我面前;若能發表高尚而非荒謬的思想,你就可作我的口舌,使他們轉向你,而不是你轉向他們。
Therefore thus he says Yahweh if you will return and I will restore you before me you will stand and if you will bring forth [the] precious from [the] worthless like mouth my you will be they will return they to you and you not you must return to them.
20 這樣,我必使你這人民成為一設防的銅牆,他們能攻打擊你,卻不能制勝你,因為有我與你同在,援助你,解救你──上主的斷語──
And I will make you for the people this into a wall of bronze fortified and people will fight against you and not they will prevail to you for [will be] with you I to save you and to deliver you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
21 我必解救你脫離惡人的手,由強暴人的掌握中將你贖回」。
And I will deliver you from [the] hand of wicked [people] and I will ransom you from [the] hand of ruthless [people].
