Jeremiah 10

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

1 以色列家啊，要听耶和华对你们所说的话。

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 耶和华如此说： 你们不要效法列国的行为， 也不要为天象惊惶， 因列国为此事惊惶。

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 众民的风俗是虚空的； 他们在树林中用斧子砍伐一棵树， 匠人用手工造成偶像。

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

4 他们用金银妆饰它， 用钉子和锤子钉稳， 使它不动摇。

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 它好像棕树，是旋成的， 不能说话，不能行走， 必须有人抬着。 你们不要怕它； 它不能降祸， 也无力降福。

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

6 耶和华啊，没有能比你的！ 你本为大，有大能大力的名。

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？ 敬畏你本是合宜的； 因为在列国的智慧人中， 虽有政权的尊荣， 也不能比你。

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

8 他们尽都是畜类，是愚昧的。 偶像的训诲算什么呢？ 偶像不过是木头。

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 有银子打成片，是从他施带来的， 并有从乌法来的金子， 都是匠人和银匠的手工， 又有蓝色紫色料的衣服， 都是巧匠的工作。

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 惟耶和华是真 神， 是活 神，是永远的王。 他一发怒，大地震动； 他一恼恨，列国都担当不起。 （

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 你们要对他们如此说：不是那创造天地的神，必从地上从天下被除灭！）

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 耶和华用能力创造大地， 用智慧建立世界， 用聪明铺张穹苍。

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 他一发声，空中便有多水激动； 他使云雾从地极上腾； 他造电随雨而闪， 从他府库中带出风来。

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 各人都成了畜类，毫无知识； 各银匠都因他雕刻的偶像羞愧。 他所铸的偶像本是虚假的， 其中并无气息，

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

15 都是虚无的， 是迷惑人的工作； 到追讨的时候必被除灭。

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 雅各的分不像这些， 因他是造作万有的主。 以色列也是他产业的支派， 万军之耶和华是他的名。

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

17 受围困的人哪，当收拾你的财物， 从国中带出去。

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 因为耶和华如此说： 这时候，我必将此地的居民， 好像用机弦甩出去， 又必加害在他们身上， 使他们觉悟。

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 民说：祸哉！我受损伤； 我的伤痕极其重大。 我却说：这真是我的痛苦， 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 我的帐棚毁坏； 我的绳索折断。 我的儿女离我出去，没有了。 无人再支搭我的帐棚，挂起我的幔子。

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 因为牧人都成为畜类， 没有求问耶和华， 所以不得顺利； 他们的羊群也都分散。

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 有风声！看哪，敌人来了！ 有大扰乱从北方出来， 要使犹大城邑变为荒凉， 成为野狗的住处。

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，我晓得人的道路不由自己， 行路的人也不能定自己的脚步。

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，求你从宽惩治我， 不要在你的怒中惩治我， 恐怕使我归于无有。

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 愿你将忿怒倾在不认识你的列国中， 和不求告你名的各族上； 因为他们吞了雅各，不但吞了，而且灭绝， 把他的住处变为荒场。
