【耶肋米亚】第九章 << 上一章下一章 >>

9:1 谁能在旷野给我找一个旅栈，叫我好离开我的人民，离他们而远去﹖因为他们都是些淫乱之徒，是一群反叛；
Would that I had in the desert a travelers' lodge! That I might leave my people and depart from them. They are all adulterers, a faithless band.

9:2 他们弯起象弓的舌头，使在地上得势的，是虚伪而不是诚实，因为他们变本加厉作恶，全不理睬我──上主的断语。
They ready their tongues like a drawn bow; with lying, and not with truth, they hold forth in the land. They go from evil to evil, but me they know not, says the LORD.

9:3 你们应各自提防自己的近人，不要信赖任何弟兄，因为所有的弟兄都爱好欺诈，一般的近人都好说谗言；
Be on your guard, everyone against his neighbor; put no trust in any brother. Every brother apes Jacob, the supplanter, every friend is guilty of slander.

9:4 人都欺骗自己的近人，不讲实话，使自己的舌头惯于说谎，竭力行恶，
Each one deceives the other, no one speaks the truth. They have accustomed their tongues to lying, and are perverse, and cannot repent.

9:5 不愿悔悟，却强暴上又加强暴，欺诈上又加欺诈，全不理睬我──上主的断语。
Violence upon violence, deceit upon deceit: They refuse to recognize me, says the LORD.

9:6 为此万军的上主这样说：「看，我要将他们净化，提炼；否则，我将怎样处理我的女儿──人民──的邪恶﹖
Therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: I will smelt them and test them; how else should I deal with their wickedness?

9:7 他们的舌头象根毒箭，好出诈言；嘴上对邻友说话温和，心中却设计陷害。
A murderous arrow is his tongue, his mouth utters deceit; He speaks cordially with his friends, but in his heart he lays an ambush!

9:8 为这些事我岂能不惩?t──上主的断语──象这样的一个民族，我岂能不图报复﹖
For these things, says the LORD, shall I not punish them? On a nation such as this shall I not take vengeance?

9:9 我要为群山号咷痛哭，为原野高唱哀歌，因为全都被焚毁，再没有人往来，再听不到牲畜的声音；自天空的飞鸟至地上的走兽，都逃去无踪。
Over the mountains, break out in cries of lamentation, over the pasture lands, intone a dirge: They are scorched, and no man crosses them, unheard is the bleat of the flock; Birds of the air as well as beasts, all have fled, and are gone.

9:10 我要使耶路撒冷成为废墟，成为豺狼的巢穴；使犹大的城市荒凉，无人居住。
I will turn Jerusalem into a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; The cities of Judah I will make into a waste, where no one dwells.

9:11 谁够聪明，能明白这事﹖上主亲口吩咐谁公布这事﹖「为什么这地遭受毁灭，荒芜得有如无人经过的旷野﹖」
Who is so wise that he can understand this? Let him to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken make it known: Why is the land ravaged, scorched like a wasteland untraversed?

9:12 上主说：因为他们离弃了我给他们立定的法律，没有听从我的声音，没有按照法律而行；
The LORD answered: Because they have abandoned my law, which I set before them, and have not followed it or listened to my voice,

9:13 反去顺从自己顽固的心，追随祖先教给他们的巴耳神。
but followed rather the hardness of their hearts and the Baals, as their fathers had taught them;

9:14 为此万军的上主，以色列的天主这样说：看，我必使这人民吃毒艾，饮毒水；
therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: See now, I will give them wormwood to eat and poison to drink.

9:15 使他们流离到他们和他们祖先素不相识的民族中；派刀剑追击他们，直至将他们完全消灭。
I will scatter them among nations whom neither they nor their fathers have known; I will send the sword to pursue them until I have completely destroyed them.

9:16 万军的上主这样说：你们应该明白，快召哀悼的妇女来，派人去叫擅长哭泣的女人来，
Thus says the LORD of hosts: Attention! tell the wailing women to come, summon the best of them;

9:17 叫她们迅速前来，对我们啼哭，使我们的眼睛流下眼泪，使我们的睫毛涌出泪水，
Let them come quickly and intone a dirge for us, That our eyes may be wet with weeping, our cheeks run with tears.

9:18 因为从熙雍那里可以听到哭声：我们怎样崩溃了，受了多大的耻辱!竟要离开本国，拋弃我们的家园!
The dirge is heard from Zion: Ruined we are, and greatly ashamed; We must leave the land, give up our homes!

9:19 你们妇女!都应听清上主的话，亲耳聆听他口授的言词；教你们的女儿痛哭，彼此互相学唱哀歌：
Hear, you women, the word of the LORD, let your ears receive his message. Teach your daughters this dirge, and each other this lament.

9:20 因为死亡已从我们的窗户爬进来，进入了我们的宫殿，歼灭了街上的孩童和广场上的青年。
Death has come up through our windows, has entered our palaces; It cuts down the children in the street, young people in the squares.

9:21 你应这样说──上主的断语──人的尸体僵卧着，好象在田野里的粪堆；又象遗留在收割者后面无人拾取的麦束。
The corpses of the slain lie like dung on a field, Like sheaves behind the harvester, with no one to gather them.

9:22 上主这样说：「智者不应夸耀自己的智慧，力士不应夸耀自己的力量，富人不应夸耀自己的财富。
Thus says the LORD: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor the strong man glory in his strength, nor the rich man glory in his riches;

9:23 凡要夸耀的，只应在「知道和认识我」这件事上夸耀，因为在地上是我，上主，施行仁慈、公道和正义，因为我喜爱这些事──上主的断语。
But rather, let him who glories, glory in this, that in his prudence he knows me, Knows that I, the LORD, bring about kindness, justice and uprightness on the earth; For with such am I pleased, says the LORD.

9:24 看，时日将到──上主的断语──我要惩罚所有受过割损而仍存有包皮的人，
See, days are coming, says the LORD, when I will demand an account of all those circumcised in their flesh:

9:25 即埃及、犹大、厄东、阿孟子民、摩阿布和所有住在旷野剃除鬓发的人，因为这一切民族都未受过割损，至于以色列全家却是未受过内心的割损」。
Egypt and Judah, Edom and the Ammonites, Moab and the desert dwellers who shave their temples. For all these nations, like the whole house of Israel, are uncircumcised in heart.
