(每日读经 11/16) 耶利米书 Jeremiah 23.1-20 /附音频

23:1 耶和华说，那些摧毁、赶散我草场之羊的牧人，有祸了。

Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture, declares Jehovah.

23:2 因此，耶和华以色列的神论到那些牧养祂百姓的牧人，如此说，你们赶散、驱逐我的羊群，并没有看顾他们；我必讨你们这行恶的罪；这是耶和华说的。

Therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the shepherds who shepherd My people, You have scattered My flock and driven them away and have not visited them; I will visit upon you the evil of your deeds, declares Jehovah.

23:3 我要将我羊群中所余剩的，从我赶逐他们所到的各地招聚出来，领他们归回自己的草场，他们必繁衍增多。

Then I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their pasture; and they will be fruitful and multiply.

23:4 我必兴起照管他们的牧人牧养他们；他们不再惧怕，不再惊惶，也不缺少一个；这是耶和华说的。

And I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they will no longer fear or be dismayed, nor will any be missing, declares Jehovah.

23:5 耶和华说，日子将到，我要给大卫兴起一个公义的苗；祂必作王掌权，行事精明，在地上施行公理和公义。

Indeed, days are coming, Declares Jehovah, When I will raise up to David a righteous Shoot; And He will reign as King and act prudently And will execute justice and righteousness in the land.

23:6 在祂的日子，犹大必得救，以色列必安然居住；人要称呼祂的名为，耶和华我们的义。

In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell securely; And this is His name by which He will be called, Jehovah our righteousness.

23:7 耶和华说，日子将到，人必不再指着那将以色列人从埃及地领上来之永活的耶和华起誓；

Therefore indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when they will no longer say, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

23:8 却要指着那将以色列家的后裔从北方之地，并从他们被赶逐到的各地领上来之永活的耶和华起誓；他们必住在本土。

But, As Jehovah lives, who brought up and led back the seed of the house of Israel out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where I had driven them, that they might dwell in their own land.

23:9 论到那些申言者，我的心在我里面忧伤，我的骨头都发颤；因耶和华和祂的圣言，我像醉酒的人，像被酒所胜的人。

Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; All my bones fail. I have become like a man who is drunk, Even like a mighty man who is overcome by wine, Because of Jehovah And because of the words of His holiness.

23:10 这地满了行淫的人；因受咒诅，这地就悲哀，旷野的草场都枯干了；他们所跑的道路是恶的，他们的勇力是不正的。

For the land is full of adulterers; For the land mourns because of the curse. The pastures of the wilderness are dried up, And the course they run is evil, And their might is not right.

23:11 连申言者和祭司都是亵渎的，甚至在我殿中我也看见他们的恶；这是耶和华说的。

For both the prophet and the priest are profane; Even in My house I have found their wickedness, Declares Jehovah.

23:12 因此，他们的道路必像黑暗中的滑地；他们必被赶逐，在这路中仆倒；因为当追讨之年，我必使灾祸临到他们；这是耶和华说的。

Therefore their way will become like slippery paths for them; In the darkness they will be driven and will fall in it; For I will bring evil on them In the year of their visitation, declares Jehovah.

23:13 我在撒玛利亚的申言者中曾见可厌的事：他们藉巴力说预言，使我的百姓以色列走岔了路。

And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal And led My people Israel astray.

23:14 我在耶路撒冷的申言者中曾见可怖的事：他们行奸淫，行事虚假；又坚固作恶之人的手，以致无人回头离开他的恶。他们在我面前都像所多玛，耶路撒冷的居民都像蛾摩拉。

And yet in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood; And they strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that none turn From their wickedness. All of them have become to Me like Sodom And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

23:15 所以万军之耶和华论到申言者如此说，我必将茵蔯给他们吃，又将苦毒的水给他们喝，因为亵渎的事出于耶路撒冷的申言者，已经遍及全地。

Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: I will feed them with wormwood And give them poisonous water to drink, For profaneness has gone forth From the prophets of Jerusalem into all the land.

23:16 万军之耶和华如此说，这些申言者向你们说预言，你们不要听他们的话；他们把你们引到虚空，所说的异象，是出于自己的心，不是出于耶和华的口。

Thus says Jehovah of hosts, Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you; They are leading you to vanity; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not out of the mouth of Jehovah.

23:17 他们常对藐视我的人说，耶和华说，你们必享平安；又对一切按自己顽梗之心而行的人说，必没有灾祸临到你们。

They say continually to those who despise Me, Jehovah has spoken, You will have peace; And to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, They say, Evil will not come upon you.

23:18 有谁站在耶和华的议会中，得以看见并听见祂的话呢？有谁留心听祂的话呢？

For who has stood in the council of Jehovah, That he should perceive and hear His word? Who has given heed to \caps0 2His word and listened?

23:19 看哪，耶和华的暴风！祂的忿怒已经发出，是急旋的暴风，必转到恶人的头上。

Look, the storm wind of Jehovah! Wrath has gone forth, Even a whirling tempest; It will whirl down on the head of the wicked.

23:20 耶和华的怒气必不转回，直到祂心中的定旨都施行了，成就了；在末后的日子，你们要全然明白。

The anger of Jehovah will not turn back Until He has executed and until He has accomplished The purposes of His heart; In the last days You will understand it clearly.
