耶利米書

第1章

1 便雅憫地、亞拿突邑、希勒家子耶利米爲祭司、以耶和華所命、筆諸書、始於亞門子約西亞爲猶大王之十三年。

2 併於上節

3 終於約西亞長子約雅金爲王於猶大、次子西底家在位十一年、是年五月、耶路撒冷民遷於巴比倫、

4 耶利米曰、耶和華諭我云、

5 余未造爾於胎、我已知爾、爾未生於世、我已俾爾爲執事、立爾爲先知、訓迪列邦。

6 我曰、主耶和華歟、渺余小子、不能知所當言。

7 耶和華曰、爾勿自以爲幼冲也、我有所遣、爾必前往、我有所命、爾必宣播。

8 我左右爾、拯救爾、可勿畏人。

9 耶和華捫我口曰、我以我命詔爾。

10 今日賜爾前知、何邦開創、何邦翦滅、何邦立其基、何邦撥其本、言無不應。

11 耶和華諭我曰、耶利米歟、爾觀何物。曰、杏樹、〔杏樹在猶大地花爲最早〕

12 曰、然則我速行我命、亦如是、

13 耶和華又諭我曰、爾觀何物。曰、鼎沸、其氣自北而至。

14 耶和華曰、禍必自北、臨斯民矣。

15 蓋我必召北方諸族、咸至斯土、置座於耶路撒冷邑門城垣、及猶大諸邑。

16 斯民違我、焚香奉事他上帝、崇拜手所作者、肆行惡事、故我有命、必降災於其身。

17 惟爾束腰、勃然而興、盡述我命、勿畏其威。否則我必使爾驚懼特甚。

18 猶大王公、祭司庶民攻爾、我必使爾屹立、若鞏固之城、鐵柱銅垣。

19 彼雖敵爾、必不能勝、蓋我耶和華左右爾、拯救爾。

Chapter 1

1 The words1697 of Jeremiah3414 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 of4480 the priests3548 that834 were in Anathoth6068 in the land776 of Benjamin: 1144

2 To whom834 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 in the days3117 of Josiah2977 the son1121 of Amon526 king4428 of Judah,3063 in the thirteenth7969 6240 year8141 of his reign.4427

3 It came1961 also in the days3117 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 unto5704 the end8552 of the eleventh6249 6240 year8141 of Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 unto5704 the carrying away1540 of Jerusalem3389 captive in the fifth2549 month.2320

4 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

5 Before2962 I formed3335 thee in the belly990 I knew3045 thee; and before2962 thou camest forth3318 out of the womb4480 7358 I sanctified6942 thee, and I ordained5414 thee a prophet5030 unto the nations.1471

6 Then said559 I, Ah,162 Lord136 GOD!3069 behold,2009 I cannot3808 3045 speak:1696 for3588 I595 am a child.5288

7 But the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Say559 not,408 I595 am a child:5288 for3588 thou shalt go1980 to5921 all3605 that834 I shall send7971 thee, and whatsoever3605 834 I command6680 thee thou shalt speak.1696

8 Be not408 afraid3372 of their faces:4480 6440 for3588 I589 am with854 thee to deliver5337 thee, saith5002 the LORD.3068

9 Then the LORD3068 put forth7971 853 his hand,3027 and touched5060 5921 my mouth.6310 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Behold,2009 I have put5414 my words1697 in thy mouth.6310

10 See,7200 I have this2088 day3117 set6485 thee over5921 the nations1471 and over5921 the kingdoms,4467 to root out,5428 and to pull down,5422 and to destroy,6 and to throw down,2040 to build,1129 and to plant.5193

11 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559 Jeremiah,3414 what4100 seest7200 thou?859 And I said,559 I589 see7200 a rod4731 of an almond tree.8247

12 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, Thou hast well3190 seen:7200 for3588 I589 will hasten8245 5921 my word1697 to perform6213 it.

13 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me the second time,8145 saying,559 What4100 seest7200 thou?859 And I said,559 I589 see7200 a seething5301 pot;5518 and the face6440 thereof is toward4480 6440 the north.6828

14 Then the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Out of the north4480 6828 an evil7451 shall break forth6605 upon5921 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land.776

15 For,3588 lo,2009 I will call7121 all3605 the families4940 of the kingdoms4467 of the north,6828 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall come,935 and they shall set5414 every one376 his throne3678 at the entering6607 of the gates8179 of Jerusalem,3389 and against5921 all3605 the walls2346 thereof round about,5439 and against5921 all3605 the cities5892 of Judah.3063

16 And I will utter1696 my judgments4941 against them touching5921 all3605 their wickedness,7451 who834 have forsaken5800 me, and have burned incense6999 unto other312 gods,430 and worshiped7812 the works4639 of their own hands.3027

17 Thou859 therefore gird up247 thy loins,4975 and arise,6965 and speak1696 unto413 them853 all3605 that834 I595 command6680 thee: be not408 dismayed2865 at their faces,4480 6440 lest6435 I confound2865 thee before6440 them.

18 For,589 behold,2009 I have made5414 thee this day3117 a defensed4013 city,5892 and an iron1270 pillar,5982 and brazen5178 walls2346 against5921 the whole3605 land,776 against the kings4428 of Judah,3063 against the princes8269 thereof, against the priests3548 thereof, and against the people5971 of the land.776

19 And they shall fight3898 against413 thee; but they shall not3808 prevail3201 against thee; for3588 I589 am with854 thee, saith5002 the LORD,3068 to deliver5337 thee.
