耶10

耶利米書-Jeremiah 第 10 章

10:1	以色列家阿，要聽耶和華對你們所說的話。 Hear the word which Jehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel.
10:2	耶和華如此說，你們不要學列國的行徑，也不要為天象驚惶，雖然列國為此事驚惶。 Thus says Jehovah, Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens, Although the nations are terrified by them.
10:3	眾民的風俗是虛空的，他們的神是從樹林中砍下的樹，是匠人用斧子作成的手工。 For the customs of the peoples are vanity, Because their god is a tree cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with an ax.
10:4	他用金銀妝飾，用釘子和錘子釘牢，使它不動搖。 He adorns it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it cannot totter.
10:5	它們好像瓜田裏的柱子，不能說話；它們不能行走，必須有人抬著。你們不要怕它們，因為它們不能降禍，也無力降福。 They are like a post in a cucumber field, And they cannot speak; They must be carried Because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, And neither is it in them to do good.
10:6	耶和華阿，沒有像你的；你本為大，你的名大有能力。 There is none like You, O Jehovah; You are great, And Your name is great in might.
10:7	萬國的王阿，誰不敬畏你？敬畏你本是合宜的，因為在列國的智慧人中，並萬國之中，沒有像你的。 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For it befits You, For among all the wise of the nations And in all their kingdoms There is none like You.
10:8	他們盡都是愚蠢、愚昧的；偶像的訓誨算什麼？它不過是木頭。 But they are altogether stupid and foolish; The instruction of their idols is mere wood.
10:9	有銀子打成片，是從他施帶來的，並有從烏法來的金子，都是匠人的作品和金匠的手工；又有藍色紫色料的衣服，都是巧匠的作品。 Beaten silver Is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of a craftsman And of the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple; All of them are the work of skillful men.
10:10	惟耶和華是真神，是活神，是永遠的王。祂一發怒，地就震動；祂一惱恨，列國都抵受不住。 But Jehovah is the true God; He is the living God and the eternal King. At His wrath the earth quakes, And the nations cannot endure His indignation.
10:11	你們要對他們如此說，那些不是造作天地的神，必從地上、從天下滅亡。 Thus you shall say to them, The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth, these will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.
10:12	耶和華用能力造作大地，用智慧建立世界，用聰明鋪張諸天。 It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom, And by His understanding He stretched out the heavens.
10:13	祂一發聲，空中便有多水激動；祂使雲霧從地極上升；祂為雨造閃電，從祂府庫中帶出風來。 When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the vapors to rise from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain And brings forth wind from His treasuries.
10:14	各人都愚蠢，毫無知識；各金匠都因自己雕製的偶像羞愧；他所鑄的像是虛假的，其中並無氣息。 Every man is stupid, without knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idol; For his molten image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them.
10:15	這些都是虛無的，是迷惑人的作品；到討罪的時候，必要滅亡。 They are vanity, the work of delusion; At the time of their punishment they will perish.
10:16	雅各的分不像這些；因祂是形成萬有的，以色列也是祂產業的支派；萬軍之耶和華是祂的名。 The Portion of Jacob is not like these; For He is the One who formed everything, And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; Jehovah of hosts is His name.
10:17	受圍困的居民哪，從地上收拾你的包袱罷。 Gather up your bundle from the ground, O inhabitant under siege.
10:18	因為耶和華如此說，這時候我必將此地的居民甩出去，又必將困苦加在他們身上，使他們受困苦。 For thus says Jehovah, I will sling out The inhabitants of the land At this time, And I will bring distress on them, That they may find it.
10:19	民說，禍哉，我受損傷！我的創傷嚴重。我卻說，這真是我的痛苦，我必須忍受。 Woe is me because of my hurt! My wound is grievous. But I said, Truly this is my 1affliction, And I must bear it.
10:20	我的帳棚毀壞，我的繩索都折斷了。我的兒女離我出去，沒有了。無人再支搭我的帳棚，掛起我的幔子。 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken; My children have gone from me and they are not; There is no one who will spread out my tent again And set up my curtains.
10:21	因為牧人都是愚蠢，沒有尋求耶和華；所以他們不得順利，他們的羊群也都分散。 For the shepherds are stupid And have not sought Jehovah; Therefore they have not prospered, And all their flock is scattered.
10:22	有風聲！敵人來了，有大擾亂從北方之地出來，要使猶大城邑變為荒涼，成為野狗的住處。 The sound of a report! Here it comes, Even a great commotion from the land of the north, To make the cities of Judah A desolation, a habitation of jackals.
10:23	耶和華阿，我曉得人的道路不由自己；行走的人，也不能定自己的腳步。 I know, O Jehovah, That a man's way is not in himself; It is not in the man who walks To direct his step.
10:24	耶和華阿，求你適度管教我；不要在你的怒中管教我，恐怕使我歸於無有。 Correct me, O Jehovah, but in measure, Not in Your anger lest You bring me to nothing.
10:25	願你將忿怒傾在不認識你的列國中，和不呼求你名的各族上；因為他們吞了雅各，不但吞了而且滅絕，把他的住處變為荒場。 Pour out Your wrath on the nations Who do not know You And upon the families Who do not call upon Your name; For they have consumed Jacob, yes, consumed him and brought him to an end, And they have desolated his habitation.
