Jeremia 8 | 圣经当代译本修订版

1 耶和华说：“那时，犹大王、首领、祭司、先知及耶路撒冷居民的骸骨都要从坟墓中被挖出来， 2 抛散在他们昔日恋慕、供奉、追随、求问、祭拜的日月星辰之下，无人收殓和埋葬，他们好像地上的粪便。 3 我要把这邪恶民族的余民流放异地，他们在那里必痛不欲生。这是万军之耶和华说的。” 4 耶和华吩咐我对犹大人说： “人跌倒后难道不站起来吗？人走错了路难道不回头吗？ 5 为什么耶路撒冷的居民一味地背叛我？他们诡诈成性，不肯回头。 6 我仔细听，没有人说实话，没有人为自己的恶行后悔，说， ‘我做了可怕的事！’ 人人一意孤行，像战马直奔战场。 7 天空的鹳鸟尚且知道来去的季节，斑鸠、燕子和白鹤也遵守迁徙的时间，但我的子民却不认识耶和华的法则。 8 “你们怎能说，‘我们有智慧，因为我们有耶和华的律法’？事实上，律法教师撒谎的笔把律法篡改了。 9 智者必蒙羞辱，受惊吓，被捉拿。看啊，他们既弃掉耶和华的话，哪里还有智慧可言呢？ 10 因此，我要把他们的妻子和田地交给别人，因为他们无论贵贱，个个贪图不义之财；无论是先知还是祭司，都行为诡诈。 11 他们敷衍了事地医治我子民的伤痛，说， ‘没事了，没事了！’ 其实情况很糟。 12 他们做可憎的事会羞愧吗？不！他们不知廉耻，毫不脸红。因此，他们要与其他人一样灭亡，死在我的惩罚下。这是耶和华说的。 13 我要彻底灭绝他们。葡萄树必没有葡萄，无花果树必没有果子，树叶也要枯干，我所赐给他们的都要被夺走。这是耶和华说的。” 14 他们说：“我们为什么还坐在这里？大家一起进入坚城，死在那里吧！我们的上帝耶和华要毁灭我们，给我们毒药喝，因为我们得罪了祂。 15 我们期待平安，却没有平安；渴望得到医治，却饱受惊吓。 16 “从但传来敌人战马的嘶鸣，声音震动大地。他们要来吞灭我们的土地和作物、城邑和居民。 17 “看啊，我要派毒蛇去咬你们，法术无法制服它们。” 这是耶和华说的。 18 我有无限忧愁，伤心欲绝。 19 听啊！远处传来我同胞的哀鸣： “难道耶和华不在锡安了吗？难道她的王不在她那里了吗？” 耶和华说：“他们为什么供奉雕刻的神像和外族无用的偶像，惹我发怒？” 20 他们说：“麦收已完，夏季已过，但我们还未得救。” 21 同胞的创伤令我伤心欲绝，痛苦万分，惊慌失措。 22 难道基列没有药物、没有医生吗？为什么我同胞的创伤至今未愈？

English Standard Version

1 “At that time, declares the Lord, the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be brought out of their tombs. 2 And they shall be spread before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served, which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshiped. And they shall not be gathered or buried. They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground. 3 Death shall be preferred to life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family in all the places where I have driven them, declares the Lord of hosts.

Sin and Treachery

4 “You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord: When men fall, do they not rise again? If one turns away, does he not return? 5 Why then has this people turned away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit; they refuse to return. 6 I have paid attention and listened, but they have not spoken rightly; no man relents of his evil, saying, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone turns to his own course, like a horse plunging headlong into battle. 7 Even the stork in the heavens knows her times, and the turtledove, swallow, and crane* keep the time of their coming, but my people know not the rules* of the Lord. 8 “How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. 9 The wise men shall be put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken; behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord, so what wisdom is in them? 10 Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to conquerors, because from the least to the greatest everyone is greedy for unjust gain; from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely. 11 They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace. 12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they shall be overthrown, says the Lord. 13 When I would gather them, declares the Lord, there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree; even the leaves are withered, and what I gave them has passed away from them.”* 14 Why do we sit still? Gather together; let us go into the fortified cities and perish there, for the Lord our God has doomed us to perish and has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord. 15 We looked for peace, but no good came; for a time of healing, but behold, terror. 16 “The snorting of their horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of their stallions the whole land quakes. They come and devour the land and all that fills it, the city and those who dwell in it. 17 For behold, I am sending among you serpents, adders that cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah Grieves for His People

18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me;* my heart is sick within me. 19 Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people from the length and breadth of the land: “Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King not in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images and with their foreign idols?” 20 “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” 21 For the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded; I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me. 22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
