耶利米書 Jeremiah

4:1	[hb5]	耶和華說、以色列阿、你若回來歸向我、若從我眼前除掉你可憎的偶像、你就不被遷移．
	[kjv]	If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
	[bbe]	If you will come back, O Israel, says the Lord, you will come back to me: and if you will put away your disgusting ways, you will not be sent away from before me.
4:2	[hb5]	你必憑誠實、公平、公義、指著永生的耶和華起誓．列國必因耶和華稱自己為有福、也必因他誇耀。
	[kjv]	And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
	[bbe]	And you will take your oath, By the living Lord, in good faith and wisdom and righteousness; and the nations will make use of you as a blessing, and in you will they take a pride.
4:3	[hb5]	耶和華對猶大和耶路撒冷人如此說、要開墾你們的荒地、不要撒種在荊棘中。
	[kjv]	For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
	[bbe]	For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: Get your unworked land ploughed up, do not put in your seeds among thorns.
4:4	[hb5]	猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪、你們當自行割禮、歸耶和華、將心裡的污穢除掉．恐怕我的忿怒、因你們的惡行發作、如火冲起、甚至無人能以熄滅。
	[kjv]	Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
	[bbe]	Undergo a circumcision of the heart, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem: or my wrath may come out like fire, burning so that no one is able to put it out, because of the evil of your doings.
4:5	[hb5]	你們當傳揚在猶大、宣告在耶路撒冷、說、你們當在國中吹角、高聲呼叫說、你們當聚集、我們好進入堅固城。
	[kjv]	Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
	[bbe]	Say openly in Judah, give it out in Jerusalem, and say, Let the horn be sounded in the land: crying out in a loud voice, Come together, and let us go into the walled towns.
4:6	[hb5]	應當向錫安豎立大旗．要逃避、不要遲延．因我必使災禍、與大毀滅、從北方來到。
	[kjv]	Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
	[bbe]	Put up a flag for a sign to Zion: go in flight so that you may be safe, waiting no longer: for I will send evil from the north, and a great destruction.
4:7	[hb5]	有獅子從密林中上來、是毀壞列國的．他已經動身、出離本處、要使你的地荒涼、使你的城邑變為荒場、無人居住。
	[kjv]	The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
	[bbe]	A lion has gone up from his secret place in the woods, and one who makes waste the nations is on his way; he has gone out from his place, to make your land unpeopled, so that your towns will be made waste, with no man living in them.
4:8	[hb5]	因此你們當腰束麻布、大聲哀號．因為耶和華的烈怒、沒有向我們轉消。
	[kjv]	For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
	[bbe]	For this put on haircloth, with weeping and loud crying: for the burning wrath of the Lord is not turned back from us.
4:9	[hb5]	耶和華說、到那時君王和首領的心、都要消滅．祭司都要驚奇、先知都要詫異。
	[kjv]	And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
	[bbe]	And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king will be dead in him, and the hearts of the rulers; and the priests will be overcome with fear, and the prophets with wonder.
4:10	[hb5]	我說、哀哉、主耶和華阿、你真是大大的欺哄這百姓和耶路撒冷、說、你們必得平安．其實刀劍害及性命了。
	[kjv]	Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
	[bbe]	Then said I, Ah, Lord God! your words were not true when you said to this people and to Jerusalem, You will have peace; when the sword has come even to the soul.
4:11	[hb5]	那時、必有話對這百姓和耶路撒冷說、有一陣熱風、從曠野淨光的高處、向我的眾民〔原文作民女〕颳來、不是為簸揚、也不是為揚淨．
	[kjv]	At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
	[bbe]	At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A burning wind from the open hilltops in the waste land is blowing on the daughter of my people, not for separating or cleaning the grain;
4:12	[hb5]	必有一陣更大的風、從這些地方為我颳來．現在我又必發出判語、攻擊他們。
	[kjv]	Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
	[bbe]	A full wind will come for me: and now I will give my decision against them.
4:13	[hb5]	看哪、仇敵必如雲上來、他的戰車如旋風、他的馬匹比鷹更快。我們有禍了．我們敗落了。
	[kjv]	Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
	[bbe]	See, he will come up like the clouds, and his war-carriages like the storm-wind: his horses are quicker than eagles. Sorrow is ours, for destruction has come on us.
4:14	[hb5]	耶路撒冷阿、你當洗去心中的惡、使你可以得救．惡念存在你心裡、要到幾時呢。
	[kjv]	O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
	[bbe]	O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?
4:15	[hb5]	有聲音從但傳揚、從以法蓮山報禍患．
	[kjv]	For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
	[bbe]	For a voice is sounding from Dan, giving out evil from the hills of Ephraim:
4:16	[hb5]	你們當傳給列國、報告攻擊耶路撒冷的事、說、有探望的人、從遠方來到、向猶大的城邑、大聲吶喊。
	[kjv]	Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
	[bbe]	Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah.
4:17	[hb5]	他們周圍攻擊耶路撒冷、好像看守田園的、因為他背叛了我．這是耶和華說的。
	[kjv]	As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
	[bbe]	Like keepers of a field they are against her on every side; because she has been fighting against me, says the Lord.
4:18	[hb5]	你的行動、你的作為、招惹這事．這是你罪惡的結果．實在是苦、是害及你心了。
	[kjv]	Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
	[bbe]	Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.
4:19	[hb5]	我的肺腑阿、我的肺腑阿、我心疼痛．我心在我裡面、煩躁不安．我不能靜默不言．因為我已經聽見角聲、和打仗的喊聲。
	[kjv]	My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
	[bbe]	My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.
4:20	[hb5]	毀壞的信息連絡不絕．因為全地荒廢．我的帳棚、忽然毀壞、我的幔子、頃刻破裂。
	[kjv]	Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
	[bbe]	News is given of destruction on destruction; all the land is made waste: suddenly my tents, straight away my curtains, are made waste.
4:21	[hb5]	我看見大旗、聽見角聲、要到幾時呢。
	[kjv]	How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
	[bbe]	How long will I go on seeing the flag and hearing the sound of the war-horn?
4:22	[hb5]	耶和華說、我的百姓愚頑、不認識我．他們是愚昧無知的兒女．有智慧行惡、沒有知識行善。
	[kjv]	For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
	[bbe]	For my people are foolish, they have no knowledge of me; they are evil-minded children, without sense, all of them: they are wise in evil-doing, but have no knowledge of doing good.
4:23	[hb5]	先知說、我觀看地、不料、地是空虛混沌、我觀看天、天也無光。
	[kjv]	I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
	[bbe]	Looking at the earth, I saw that it was waste and without form; and to the heavens, that they had no light.
4:24	[hb5]	我觀看大山、不料、盡都震動、小山也都搖來搖去。
	[kjv]	I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
	[bbe]	Looking at the mountains, I saw them shaking, and all the hills were moved about.
4:25	[hb5]	我觀看、不料、無人、空中的飛鳥也都躲避。
	[kjv]	I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
	[bbe]	Looking, I saw that there was no man, and all the birds of heaven had gone in flight.
4:26	[hb5]	我觀看、不料、肥田變為荒地、一切城邑在耶和華面前、因他的烈怒、都被拆毀。
	[kjv]	I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
	[bbe]	Looking, I saw that the fertile field was a waste, and all its towns were broken down before the Lord and before his burning wrath.
4:27	[hb5]	耶和華如此說、全地必然荒涼、我卻不毀滅淨盡。
	[kjv]	For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
	[bbe]	For this is what the Lord has said: All the land will become a waste; I will make destruction complete.
4:28	[hb5]	因此、地要悲哀、在上的天、也必黑暗．因為我言已出、我意已定、必不後悔、也不轉意不作。
	[kjv]	For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
	[bbe]	The earth will be weeping for this, and the heavens on high will be black: because I have said it, and I will not go back from it; it is my purpose, and it will not be changed.
4:29	[hb5]	各城的人、因馬兵和弓箭手的響聲、就都逃跑、進入密林、爬上磐石．各城被撇下、無人住在其中。
	[kjv]	The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
	[bbe]	All the land is in flight because of the noise of the horsemen and the bowmen; they have taken cover in the woodland and up on the rocks: every town has been given up, not a man is living in them.
4:30	[hb5]	你淒涼的時候要怎樣行呢．你雖穿上朱紅衣服、佩戴黃金裝飾、用顏料修飾眼目、這樣標緻、是枉然的．戀愛你的藐視你、並且尋索你的性命。
	[kjv]	And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
	[bbe]	And you, when you are made waste, what will you do? Though you are clothed in red, though you make yourself beautiful with ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes wide with paint, it is for nothing that you make yourself fair; your lovers have no more desire for you, they have designs on your life.
4:31	[hb5]	我聽見有聲音、彷彿婦人產難的聲音、好像生頭胎疼痛的聲音、是錫安女子的聲音．〔女子就是指民的意思〕他喘著氣、挓莎手、說、我有禍了．在殺人的跟前、我的心發昏了。
	[kjv]	For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
	[bbe]	A voice has come to my ears like the voice of a woman in birth-pains, the pain of one giving birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, fighting for breath, stretching out her hands, saying, Now sorrow is mine! for my strength is gone from me before the takers of life.
