耶利米書第18章 |
|
1 耶和華諭耶利米曰、 |
|
2 爾往陶人之宅、予有言告爾、 |
|
3 我往陶人之宅、見其以鈞製器、 |
|
4 陶人摶土甄陶、以製器皿、未成而毀、遂製他器、任其意之所欲爲。 |
|
5 耶和華諭我曰、 |
|
6 以色列族乎、我之待爾、豈不能如陶人乎。譬彼泥土、其權操自陶人、爾曹以色列族、其權操之於我亦若是。 |
|
7 如我命邦國、必當翦滅、撥其根本、而彼邦國、悛改厥行、則我欲降之災、必不行焉。 |
|
8 |
|
9 如我命邦國、必當開創、立其址基、而彼邦國、不從我命、作惡不悛、則我欲錫之福、必不行焉。 |
|
10 |
|
11 今爾當告猶大及耶路撒冷居民云、耶和華曰、予有定命、欲降災於爾、爾衆速當改惡從善。 |
|
12 彼曰、毋容勸我、我必從心所欲、任意作惡、 |
|
13 故我耶和華曰、我視以色列族、有若處女、惟彼所行、甚屬難堪、卽異邦人亦未有此。 |
|
14 詎有棄利巴嫩之雪、而求郊原之磐、詎有棄溪流之清洌、而求遠方之水。 |
|
15 我民忘予、焚香以敬偶像、舍平坦之舊道而不由、行崎嶇之僻路而顛趾。 |
|
16 致其地荒蕪、人恒作怨憤之聲、過之者必愕然駭異、搖首弗已。 |
|
17 我使斯民爲敵人所驅逐、若風吹草芥、臨產之時、予不眷顧。 |
|
18 人曰、祭司有律例、智士有箴規、先知有預言、如耶利米其言不可信、予當批其頰、而謀害之。 |
|
19 耶利米曰、耶和華歟、尚其眷顧予躬彼欲害予、請爾鑒察、 |
|
20 念我在爾前、代彼祈禱、望爾息怒、彼以惡報善、欲掘坎阱、以陷害予。 |
|
21 願其子或死於饑饉、或殞於鋒鏑、丁男受戮、壯士戰沒、其妻爲嫠、喪其子女。 |
|
22 願爾使敵人猝至、比戶咸聞哀泣之聲、蓋彼掘坎阱、欲陷予、設網罟、欲罹予。 |
|
23 耶和華歟、爾知其謀害我命、勿赦宥其罪、勿塗抹其過、當使之傾覆、爾赫斯怒、降以刑罰。 |
JeremiahChapter 18 |
|
1 THE word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying. |
|
2 Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words. |
|
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, according to the word of the LORD, and, behold, he was doing work on the wheel. |
|
4 And the vessel which he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he mixed the clay and made it into another vessel, as seemed good to him. |
|
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, |
|
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says the LORD, Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. |
|
7 If suddenly I should speak concerning a people and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy it; |
|
8 And if that nation repent from its evil, I will turn away from it the evil which I thought to do to it. |
|
9 And if at another instant I should speak concerning a people and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; |
|
10 And if it does evil in my sight and does not obey my voice, then I will turn away from it the good which I said I would do to it. |
|
11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am bringing evil against you and I am devising a device against you; repent you now, and return every one from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good. |
|
12 But they said, We shall become strong and we will walk after our own devices and we will every man do the imagination of his evil heart. |
|
13 Therefore thus says the LORD: Ask among the Gentiles, Who has done such things as these? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing. |
|
14 Does the green grass vanish from the mountain or the snow leave Lebanon? Does the cold water that gushes out and runs down cease from flowing? |
|
15 Yet my people have forsaken me and have burned incense to vanity and have stumbled in their ways, and have departed from the ancient paths to walk in a way which was not trodden. |
|
16 They have made their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; every one who passes through it shall be astonished and shake his head. |
|
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them my back and not my face, in the day of their calamity. |
|
18 Then they said, Come and let us devise plots against Jeremiah; so that the law shall not perish from the priests nor counsel from the wise nor the word from the prophets. Come and let us smite him in his tongue, and let us not listen to any of his words. |
|
19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the cry of my oppression. |
|
20 Evil has been recompensed for good, for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee and spoke good for them to turn away thy wrath from them. |
|
21 Therefore give their children to famine and deliver them to the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and become widows; and let their men be put to death and their young men be slain by the sword in battle. |
|
22 Let wailing be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a band of raiders suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me and hid snares for my feet. |
|
23 Yet, O LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me; forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sins from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger. |

|
14 詎有棄利巴嫩之雪、而求郊原之磐、詎有棄溪流之清洌、而求遠方之水。 |
14 Does the green grass vanish from the mountain or the snow leave Lebanon? Does the cold water that gushes out and runs down cease from flowing? |
|
15 我民忘予、焚香以敬偶像、舍平坦之舊道而不由、行崎嶇之僻路而顛趾。 |
15 Yet my people have forsaken me and have burned incense to vanity and have stumbled in their ways, and have departed from the ancient paths to walk in a way which was not trodden. |

16 They have made their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; every one who passes through it shall be astonished and shake his head. |
|
17 我使斯民爲敵人所驅逐、若風吹草芥、臨產之時、予不眷顧。 |
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them my back and not my face, in the day of their calamity. |

22 Let wailing be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a band of raiders suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me and hid snares for my feet. |
