Jeremiah 15

1 Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go!

1 耶和华对我说：“就算摩西和撒母耳站在我面前求情，我也不会怜悯这些百姓。你把他们从我面前赶走，让他们离开吧！

2 If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’

2 如果他们问你，‘我们该去哪里，’你就告诉他们，耶和华这样说， “‘该死的死， 该被杀的被杀， 该遭饥荒的遭饥荒， 该被掳的被掳。’

3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

3 “我要让他们遭受四种祸患——刀杀、狗撕、鸟啄、兽吞。这是耶和华说的。

4 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.

4 因为希西迦的儿子犹大王玛拿西在耶路撒冷的所作所为，我要使他们的遭遇令天下万国惊惧。

5 Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?

5 “耶路撒冷啊，谁会同情你？ 谁会为你悲哀？ 谁会驻足向你问安？

6 You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.

6 你弃绝我，背离我， 因此我要伸手攻击你，毁灭你， 我已厌倦施怜悯。 这是耶和华说的。

7 I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.

7 我要在这片土地上的各城门口用簸箕簸散我的子民， 使他们丧掉儿女； 我要灭绝他们， 因为他们不思悔改。

8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.

8 我要使他们的寡妇比海沙还多， 使毁灭者在午间攻击青年的母亲， 让她们突然陷入痛苦和惊恐。

9 The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,” declares the LORD.

9 生过七个孩子的母亲心力枯竭，奄奄一息。 她的太阳在白昼已经坠落， 她必蒙羞受辱。 我必使其余的人丧身在敌人刀下。 这是耶和华说的。”

10 Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.

10 母亲啊，我真不幸，因为你生了我这个跟全犹大争论、激辩的人。我没有向人借贷，也没有借贷给人，然而人人都咒骂我。

11 The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.

11 耶和华说：“我必拯救你，使你受益。我必使仇敌在灾祸、困难来临时哀求你。

12 Can anyone smash iron—iron from the north—or bronze?

12 谁能折断来自北方之敌的铁拳铜臂呢？

13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.

13 因为你们境内罪恶泛滥，我要使敌人任意抢掠你们的财宝，

14 Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”

14 把你们掳到陌生的地方。我的怒火已被点燃，要烧灭你们。”

15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.

15 耶和华啊，你知道我的遭遇。 求你顾念我，眷顾我， 报应迫害我的人。 求你不要取走我的性命， 因为你不轻易发怒， 你知道我为了你忍受辱骂。

16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.

16 万军之上帝耶和华啊， 我得到你的话便吃了下去， 你的话是我心中的快乐和喜悦， 因为我属于你的名下。

17 I never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.

17 我没有与作乐的人为伍， 没有与他们同乐。 我独坐一处，因为你的手按在我身上， 你使我义愤填膺。

18 Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me—water that is not there.

18 为什么我的痛楚无休无止？ 为什么我的创伤无法治愈？ 难道你要像一条时断时流的小溪一样靠不住吗？

19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.

19 因此，耶和华对我说： “如果你回心转意， 我就让你重新事奉我。 你若说有益的话， 不说无益的话， 就可以做我的发言人， 百姓便会归向你， 但你不可归向他们。

20 Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.

20 我要使你在这些百姓面前成为坚固的铜墙。 他们要攻击你，却不能胜过你， 因为我与你同在，我会搭救你， 拯救你。 这是耶和华说的。

21 I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”

21 我要把你从恶人手中救出， 从残暴之徒的权势下赎回。”
