Jeremiah 10

1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

1 以色列家啊，听听耶和华对你们说的话吧！

2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them.

2 耶和华说： “不要效法列国的行为。 他们被天象吓倒， 你们却不要因天象而害怕。

3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman.

3 他们信奉的毫无价值， 他们从林中砍一棵树， 工匠用凿子雕刻偶像，

4 They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter.

4 以金银作装饰， 用钉子和锤子钉牢， 以免晃动。

5 Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, and neither can they do any good.”

5 它们像瓜园中的稻草人， 不能说话，不能行走， 需要人搬运。 你们不要怕它们， 它们既不能害人， 也不能助人。”

6 There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.

6 耶和华啊，你无与伦比， 你真伟大，你的名充满力量！

7 Who would not fear You, O King of nations? This is Your due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.

7 万国的王啊，谁不敬畏你？ 敬畏你是理所当然的。 因为万国的智者和君王中无人能与你相比。

8 But they are altogether senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

8 他们都愚昧无知， 竟从无用的木头偶像受教！

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz—the work of a craftsman from the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothes are blue and purple, all fashioned by skilled workers.

9 偶像上的银片来自他施， 金片来自乌法， 都是木匠和金匠的作品， 这些偶像穿的蓝色和紫色衣服都是巧匠制作的。

10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.

10 唯有耶和华是真神， 是永活的上帝， 是永恒的君王。 祂一发怒，大地便震动， 列国都无法承受祂的烈怒。

11 Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.”

11 你们要这样对他们说：“那些神明没有创造天地，它们将从天地间消亡。”

12 The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

12 耶和华以大能创造大地， 以智慧建立世界， 以聪明铺展诸天。

13 When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

13 祂一声令下，天上便大水澎湃； 祂使云从地极升起， 使闪电在雨中划过， 使风从祂的仓库吹出。

14 Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.

14 世人都愚昧无知， 金匠都因所造的偶像而羞愧， 因为神像是骗人的， 它们没有生命气息。

15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.

15 它们毫无价值， 荒唐可笑， 刑罚一到，必被毁灭。

16 The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance—the LORD of Hosts is His name.

16 但雅各的上帝截然不同， 因为祂是万物的创造者， 以色列子民是祂的产业， 万军之耶和华是祂的名字。

17 Gather up your belongings from this land, you who live under siege.

17 被围困的居民啊， 收拾行装离开吧！

18 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, at this time I will sling out the inhabitants of the land and bring distress upon them so that they may be captured.”

18 因为耶和华说： “看啊，这次我要把这地方的居民抛出去， 使他们苦不堪言方肯觉悟。”

19 Woe to me because of my brokenness; my wound is grievous! But I said, “This is truly my sickness, and I must bear it.”

19 我有祸了！因我的创伤难愈。 但我说：“这是疾病，我必须忍受。”

20 My tent is destroyed, and all its ropes are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one left to pitch my tent or set up my curtains.

20 我的帐篷已毁， 绳索已断； 我的儿女都离我而去，踪影全无， 再没有人为我支搭帐篷， 挂上幔子。

21 For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.

21 首领愚昧， 没有求问耶和华， 因此一败涂地， 百姓如羊群四散。

22 Listen! The sound of a report is coming—a great commotion from the land to the north. It will make the cities of Judah a desolation, a haunt for jackals.

22 听啊，有消息传来， 喧嚣的敌军从北方冲来， 要使犹大的城邑荒凉， 沦为豺狼的巢穴。

23 I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.

23 耶和华啊，我知道人不能驾驭自己的命运， 不能左右自己的前程。

24 Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice—not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

24 耶和华啊，求你公正地惩罚我， 不要带着怒气惩罚我， 免得你使我不复存在。

25 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, and on the families that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off; they have devastated his homeland.

25 求你向不认识你的列国和不求告你名的民族发烈怒， 因为他们吞噬、毁灭雅各， 使他的家园一片荒凉。
