耶利米书第15章

《圣经》耶利米书-第15章

耶15:1 耶和华对我说：“虽有摩西和撒母耳站在我面前代求，我的心也不顾惜这百姓。你将他们从我眼前赶出，叫他们去吧！ (串)结14:14|出32:11,12诗99:6|撒上7:9

†[吕]永恒主对我说：“就使有摩西和撒母耳站在我面前来代求，我的心也不向着这人民。从我面前给打发走赶，叫他们出去！

†[思]上主对我说：“纵使梅瑟和撒慕尔立在我面前，我的心仍不转向这人民；你由我面前将他们驱逐，叫他们离去。

†[当代]主对我说：“就算摩西和撒母耳站在我面前，我的心仍然不顾惜这些人民；你把他们从我面前赶出，叫他们走吧！

†[新译]耶和华对我说：“即使摩西和撒母耳站在我面前代求，我的心也不会转向这人民。你把他们从我面前赶走，叫他们出去！

†[Wlb]耶和华谕我曰、虽摩西撒母耳立于我前、我心不眷顾斯民、其逐之离我前、而使之出、

†[Xdv]上主又告诉我：“即使摩西和塞缪尔站在我面前向我祈求，我也不怜悯这些人。从我面前把他们赶走！叫他们滚开！

†[Kjv]Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

†[Nkjv]Then the LORD said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind would not be favorable toward this people. Cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth.

†[BBE]Then the Lord said to me, Even if Moses and Samuel came before me, I would have no desire for this people: send them away from before me, and let them go.

†[GNT] Then the Lord said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel were standing here pleading with me, I would not show these people any mercy. Make them go away; make them get out of my sight.

†[NIV]Then the Lord said to me: "Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go!

本会注释　　本章显然是第14章信息的延续。这两章的日期可能是一样的，似乎是上帝与耶利米之间的继续讨论（见第1-9节）。上帝再次宣布拒绝为背道的以色列人所作的一切求情。提到摩西和撒母耳，无疑是因为他们曾向上帝求情，并取得成功（见出32,:9-14；民14:11-20；撒上7:8,9；参结14:14）。

耶15:2 他们问你说：‘我们往哪里去呢？’你便告诉他们，耶和华如此说：定为死亡的，必致死亡；定为刀杀的，必交刀杀；定为饥荒的，必遭饥荒；定为掳掠的，必被掳掠。” (串)耶43:11结5:2,12亚11:9

†[吕]他们若问你说：‘我们要出去到哪里呢？’你便对他们说：‘永恒主这么说：“那该遭疫疠（同词：死亡）的，就遭疫疠（同词：死亡）；该被刀杀的、就被刀杀；该受饥荒的，就受饥荒；该被掳的，就被掳。”’

†[思]假如人对你说：我们往哪去？你就对他们说：上主这样说：“该死的就死，该杀的就杀，该挨饿的就挨饿，该被掳去的，就被掳去。

†[当代]他们必有人问你：‘我们往哪里去呢？’你便对他们说：‘主这样说：该死的就死；该被刀杀的就被刀杀；该遭饥荒的就遭饥荒；该被掳的就被掳。’

†[新译]如果他们问你：‘我们要去哪里？’你就告诉他们：‘耶和华这样说：该死亡的，就死亡；该被刀剑所杀的，就被刀剑所杀；该遭遇饥荒的，就遭遇饥荒；该被掳的，就被掳去！’

†[Wlb]如彼询尔曰、我当何往、则告之曰、耶和华云、当死者就死、当刃者就刃、当饥者就饥、当虏者就虏、

†[Xdv]如果他们问，他们该到什么地方去，你要这样告诉他们：该病死的，要病死！该战死的，要战死！该饿死的，要饿死！该被掳的，要被掳！

†[Kjv]And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.

†[Nkjv]And it shall be, if they say to you, "Where should we go?' then you shall tell them, "Thus says the LORD: "Such as are for death, to death; And such as are for the sword, to the sword; And such as are for the famine, to the famine; And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity."'

†[BBE]And it will be, when they say to you, Where are we to go? then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are to be in need of food, to need of food; and such as are to be taken away prisoners, to be taken away.

†[GNT] When they ask you where they should go, tell them that I have said: Some are doomed to die by disease - that's where they will go! Others are doomed to die in war - that's where they will go! Some are doomed to die of starvation - that's where they will

†[NIV]And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what the Lord says: " 'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.'

本会注释　　这样的分类无疑是为了让百姓认识到，逃脱是不可能的。

耶15:3 耶和华说：“我命定四样害他们，就是刀剑杀戮、狗类撕裂、空中的飞鸟，和地上的野兽吞吃毁灭； (串)利26:16|申28:26耶7:33

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：“我派了四种类来罚他们：刀剑来杀戮，狗来拖拉，空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽来吞吃来毁灭。

†[思]我必用四种刑罚来惩罚他们──上主的断语──用刀剑来杀，用野狗来拖，用天空的飞鸟和地上的野兽来吞食，来消灭。

†[当代]我要把四种祸患加在他们身上：刀剑击杀、野狗撕裂、被天空的飞鸟和地上的走兽吞吃毁灭。

†[新译]我要命定四种刑罚对付他们，就是刀剑杀戮，尸体被野狗拖走，被空中的飞鸟和地上的走兽吞吃与毁灭。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我定四者加之、刃以戮之、犬以裂之、飞鸟野兽噬而灭之、

†[Xdv]我──上主决定使他们遭遇四种灾害：被刀剑杀死；被野狗拖走尸体；被天空的飞鸟来啄食；被野兽吞吃。

†[Kjv]And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

†[Nkjv]"And I will appoint over them four forms of destruction," says the LORD: "the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

†[BBE]And I will put over them four divisions, says the Lord: the sword causing death, dogs pulling the dead bodies about, and the birds of heaven, and the beasts of the earth to take their bodies for food and put an end to them.

†[GNT] I, the Lord, have decided that four terrible things will happen to them: they will be killed in war; their bodies will be dragged off by dogs; birds will eat them, and wild animals will devour what is left over.

†[NIV]I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," declares the Lord , "the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

本会注释　　刀剑是死亡的直接工具。动物和食肉的野兽和飞鸟将吞噬尸体（见申28:25,26；王上21:23,24；耶7:33）。

耶15:4 又必使他们在天下万国中抛来抛去，都因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷所行的事。” (串)申28:25耶24:9结23:46|王下21:11;23:26

†[吕]我又必使他们成了地上万国所不寒而栗的对象，都因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西的缘故，因为他在耶路撒冷行了恶事。

†[思]我为了犹大王希则克雅的儿子默纳舍在耶路撒冷所行的事，必使他们成为地上万国恐怖的对象。

†[当代]因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷的所作所为，我要使他们所受的审判成为地上各国可怕的警戒。”

†[新译]“因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷的所作所为，我必使地上万国看见他们的遭遇就惊恐。”

†[Wlb]我必因犹大王希西家子玛拿西、所行于耶路撒冷之事、播弃之于天下万国、

†[Xdv]由于犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷的恶行，我要使天下人一看见他们就厌恶。”

†[Kjv]And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

†[Nkjv]I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

†[BBE]And I will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and what he did in Jerusalem.

†[GNT] I will make all the people of the world horrified at them because of what Hezekiah's son Manasseh did in Jerusalem when he was king of Judah."

†[NIV]I will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.

本会注释　　抛来抛去。直译是“颤抖”或“恐惧”，即这个民族将会受其他的民族的藐视（见代下29:8；见@申28:25@注释）。
　　因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西。百姓对于这个恶王最近的邪恶统治，依然记忆有犹新（见王下21:1-18）。他们顽固地追随这个恶王，造成了是他们当下的苦难。本节提到义王希西家，是为了强调父子之间品格上的区别。

耶15:5 耶路撒冷啊，谁可怜你呢？谁为你悲伤呢？谁转身问你的安呢？ (串)赛51:19

†[吕]谁要怜惜你呢，耶路撒冷阿？谁要为你悲伤呢？谁要转身来给你问安呢？

†[思]耶路撒冷！谁还怜恤你，谁还同情你，谁还转身向你问安？

†[当代]“耶路撒冷啊，谁还同情你？谁还为你悲哀？谁会转过来向你问安？

†[新译]“耶路撒冷啊！谁会可怜你呢？谁会为你悲伤呢？谁会转身向你问安呢？

†[Wlb]耶路撒冷欤、孰矜恤尔、孰为尔哀、孰转而问尔安、

†[Xdv]上主说：耶路撒冷人哪，谁会可怜你们？谁会为你们悲伤？谁会转身来向你们问好？

†[Kjv]For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?

†[Nkjv]"For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?

†[BBE]For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? and who will have sorrow for you? or who will go out of his way to see how you are?

†[GNT] The Lord says, "Who will pity you, people of Jerusalem, and who will grieve over you? Who will stop long enough to ask how you are?

†[NIV]Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will stop to ask how you are?

耶15:6 耶和华说：你弃绝了我，转身退后；因此我伸手攻击你，毁坏你。我后悔甚不耐烦。 (串)耶2:13|耶7:24|何13:14

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：你摈弃了我，直转身退后；因此我伸手攻击你，杀灭你：我怜恤到不耐烦了。

†[思]你既离弃了我──上主的断语──转身背着我，我就只有对你伸出我的手，将你消灭；我对宽恕已感厌倦：

†[当代]你既离弃我，一直以背向我，我就要伸出我的手攻击你，把你毁灭；我已厌倦施怜悯了！

†[新译]你离弃了我，你转身背着我；因此我要伸手攻击你，毁灭你，我不会再回心转意。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、尔既弃我、背我而往、故我举手、攻尔灭尔、我之回意、屡而惫矣、

†[Xdv]你们背离了我；你们转身不理我。所以我要伸手粉碎你们；我不再抑制自己的忿怒（或译：因为我不再可怜你们）。

†[Kjv]Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

†[Nkjv]You have forsaken Me," says the LORD, "You have gone backward. Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you; I am weary of relenting!

†[BBE]You have given me up, says the Lord, you have gone back: so my hand is stretched out against you for your destruction; I am tired of changing my purpose.

†[GNT] You people have rejected me; you have turned your backs on me. So I reached out and crushed you because I was tired of controlling my anger.

†[NIV]You have rejected me," declares the Lord . "You keep on backsliding. So I will lay hands on you and destroy you; I can no longer show compassion.

本会注释　　见@创6:6,7@注释。对于犹大的罪人，已到了忍无可忍的地步，就像洪水以前的人类一样。

耶15:7 我在境内各城门口（或作：我在这地边界的关口），用簸箕簸了我的百姓，使他们丧掉儿女。我毁灭他们，他们仍不转离所行的道。 (串)赛9:13耶5:3摩4:10,11

†[吕]我在境内各城门口用簸箕簸了我的人民，使他们丧掉儿女，使他们灭亡，他们仍不转离他们所行的路。

†[思]我要在这地的城门口，用簸箕将他们簸散，使他们丧失子女；我要消灭我的人民，因为他们不离开自己的行径。

†[当代]我要在这地的城门口，用簸箕把他们簸散；我要夺去他们的儿女，灭绝我的子民，因为他们不为所做的事悔改。

†[新译]“我在这地的城门口，用簸箕簸了我的子民，使他们丧掉儿女，使他们灭亡；他们仍不转离自己所行的路。

†[Wlb]我于斯土诸邑之门、簸之以箕、丧其子女、毁灭我民、惟彼仍不转离其途、

†[Xdv]我要在境内各城镇像筛糠秕一样把你们筛散。我的子民哪，我要消灭你们；我要杀死你们的儿女，因为你们还不悔改；

†[Kjv]And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.

†[Nkjv]And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children; I will destroy My people, Since they do not return from their ways.

†[BBE]And I have sent a cleaning wind on them in the public places of the land; I have taken their children from them; I have given my people to destruction; they have not been turned from their ways.

†[GNT] In every town in the land I threw you to the wind like straw. I destroyed you, my people, I killed your children because you did not stop your evil ways.

†[NIV]I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways.

本会注释　　簸箕（mizreh）。“扬谷叉”，用于把谷扬起来，让风吹走糠枇（见诗1:4；太3:12）。
　　各城门口。见@耶1:15@注释。
　　他们仍不转离。“仍”意在加强语气。

耶15:8 他们的寡妇在我面前比海沙更多；我使灭命的午间来，攻击少年人的母亲，使痛苦惊吓忽然临到她身上。

†[吕]他们的寡妇在我面前比海沙更多；我使灭命者中午来到，攻击壮丁的母亲，使惊愕之激动与惊惶吓突然临到她身上。

†[思]他们的寡妇已多过海边的沙粒；我要给他们招来午间的破坏者，袭击英俊勇士的母亲，使痛苦和恐怖突然降到她身上。

†[当代]他们的寡妇在我面前比海沙更多，我要使毁灭者临到年轻人的母亲那里，就在中午时分突然来到，使她苦痛惊恐。

†[新译]我使他们寡妇的数目比海沙还多；我使行毁灭的在午间临到我的子民，打击年轻人的母亲，使痛苦的惊恐忽然临到她们身上。

†[Wlb]其嫠妇多于海沙、残贼者日中而至、攻其少者之母、凄楚恐惶、倏然及之、

†[Xdv]你们境内的寡妇要比海沙多。我杀死年轻力壮的青年人，使他们的母亲悲痛。我以痛苦、惊恐突击她们。

†[Kjv]Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

†[Nkjv]Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas; I will bring against them, Against the mother of the young men, A plunderer at noonday; I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.

†[BBE]I have let their widows be increased in number more than the sand of the seas: I have sent against them, against the mother and the young men, one who makes waste in the heat of the day, causing pain and fears to come on her suddenly.

†[GNT] There are more widows in your land than grains of sand by the sea. I killed your young men in their prime and made their mothers suffer. I suddenly struck them with anguish and terror.

†[NIV]I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them anguish and terror.

本会注释　　他们的寡妇。这里说侵略者在战争中杀死这些女人的丈夫。
　　母亲。显然指父亲已经被杀。年长的女人只好依靠儿子来保护。但这一切都是徒然的。失败是不可避免的。
　　午间。也许“灭命的”是在最意想不到的时刻来临，就是在大多数军兵休息的时候（见@耶6:4@注释）。
　　她（`ir）。通常指城市，也指 “激动”。后一个词义虽然罕见，但更加适合本节，故可译为“我突然使她激动和恐惧”。七十士译本为“我突然向她投掷颤抖和忧虑”。

耶15:9 生过七子的妇人力衰气绝；尚在白昼，日头忽落；她抱愧蒙羞。其余的人，我必在他们敌人跟前，交与刀剑。这是耶和华说的。 (串)撒上2:5|摩8:9

†[吕]生产七次的妇人衰萎而气绝；还在白昼、其日就落；她失望狼狈；余剩的人我必交与刀剑，就当其敌人面前交出；这是永恒主发神谕说的。”

†[思]生过七个子女的母亲，现已身衰气绝，还是白天，她的太阳已经西落，她只有绝望惆怅；至于他们的遗民，我必使他们在敌人面前死于刀下──上主的断语。

†[当代]生过七个儿子的母亲，身体虚弱，奄奄一息，虽然还是白天，她的太阳已经没落了；她感到羞愧丢脸。我必使其余的人在敌人面前死于刀剑之下。”

†[新译]那生过七个子女的母亲衰竭疲弱，几乎气绝；还在白昼，她的太阳已经西落，她必惭愧蒙羞。我必使他们余剩的人在敌人面前死于刀下。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]生七子之妇、身疲气断、尚在白昼、其日没矣、彼乃含羞抱愧、所遗之民、我将于敌前、付之于刃、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]那丧失七个儿女的母亲晕倒了；她喘不过气来。她的希望完全幻灭；她受羞辱，失望狼狈。我要让敌人杀灭残存的人。我是上主；我这样宣布了。

†[Kjv]She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]"She languishes who has borne seven; She has breathed her last; Her sun has gone down While it was yet day; She has been ashamed and confounded. And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword Before their enemies," says the LORD.

†[BBE]The mother of seven is without strength; her spirit is gone from her, her sun has gone down while it is still day: she has been shamed and overcome: and the rest of them I will give up to the sword before their haters, says the Lord.

†[GNT] The mother who lost her seven children has fainted, gasping for breath. Her daylight has turned to darkness; she is disgraced and sick at heart. I will let your enemies kill those of you who are still alive. I, the Lord, have spoken."

†[NIV]The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies," declares the Lord .

本会注释　　生过七子。生这么多儿子暗示为将来作了充足的准备。
　　日头忽落。比喻“抱愧蒙羞”之母亲的伤心，因为她们没有儿子和后代（见创16:4；30:1,23；赛54:4；见@得4:15@注释）。

耶15:10 我的母亲哪，我有祸了！因你生我作为遍地相争相竞的人。我素来没有借贷与人，人也没有借贷与我，人人却都咒骂我。 (串)伯3:1-3耶20:14

†[吕]我母亲哪，我有祸了，你生了我做对遍地吵闹分争的人！我素来没有拿钱借给人来取利息，人也没有拿钱借给我来取利，然而人人都咒骂我。

†[思]我的母亲！我真不幸！你竟生了我这与普世对抗相争的人。我没有向人借贷，人也没有向我借贷，人却都辱骂我。

†[当代]母亲啊，我有祸了，因你生我成为一个与全地争竞对抗的人；我既没有向人借贷，也没有借贷给人，然而人人都咒骂我。

†[新译]我母亲哪！我有祸了，因为你生了我，这个跟全地相争相斗的人。我从没有借钱给人，也没有向人借钱，可是人人都咒骂我。

†[Wlb]我母欤、祸哉我也、尔之生我、为全地喜争好竞之人、我未贷金于人、人亦未贷金于我、然彼皆诅我、

†[Xdv]我好惨哪！我母亲为什么生下我呢？我得跟国内每一个人争辩！我没有借钱给别人，也没有向别人借钱，可是人人都咒诅我。

†[Kjv]Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.

†[Nkjv]Woe is me, my mother, That you have borne me, A man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent for interest, Nor have men lent to me for interest. Every one of them curses me.

†[BBE]Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.

†[GNT] What an unhappy man I am! Why did my mother bring me into the world? I have to quarrel and argue with everyone in the land. I have not lent any money or borrowed any; yet everyone curses me.

†[NIV]Alas, my mother, that you gave me birth, a man with whom the whole land strives and contends! I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.

本会注释　　我有祸了。一想到自己的信息所产生的后果，先知突然意识到，他的使命就像基督的使命一样，“不是叫地上太平，乃是叫地上动刀兵”（太10:34）。
　　借贷。见@出22:25@注释。逃债的人和逼债的人都为人所不齿。耶利米没有借贷，却似乎受到深深的伤害，因为他被大家视为使“遍地相争相竞的人”。

耶15:11 耶和华说：“我必要坚固你，使你得好处。灾祸苦难临到的时候，我必要使仇敌央求你。 (串)耶39:11,12;40:4,5

†[吕]永恒主阿，就这样吧（传统：永恒主说）！我若没有为他们的福利而恳求（意难确定）你，我若没有在祸患和灾难时为（为：经点窜翻译的）敌人向你祈求，就情愿受咒骂！

†[思]实在，上主，我岂没有尽力事奉你？我岂没有在灾难祸患时为仇人向你恳求？

†[当代]主说：“我要拯救你，使你得好处；在灾祸危难的时候，我要使仇敌向你哀求。”

†[新译]耶和华说：“我必为你的好处释放你；在遭遇祸患和灾难的时候，我必叫你的仇敌恳求你。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我必释尔、使尔获福、尔敌遇祸遭难时、必求于尔、

†[Xdv]上主啊，要是我没有尽事奉你的职责；要是我没有在敌人遭遇困苦时替他们哀求；就让他们的咒诅实现吧！

†[Kjv]The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

†[Nkjv]The LORD said: "Surely it will be well with your remnant; Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.

†[BBE]...

†[GNT] Lord, may all their curses come true if I have not served you well, if I have not pleaded with you on behalf of my enemies when they were in trouble and distress

†[NIV]The Lord said, "Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will make your enemies plead with you in times of disaster and times of distress.

本会注释　　本节的原文含义模糊。大致可理解为“耶和华说，我必要让你受苦，使你得好处；在灾祸苦难临到的时候，我必要使仇敌央求你。”上帝似乎在安慰先知，应许把他从敌人手中拯救出来。

耶15:12 （人岂能将铜与铁，就是北方的铁折断呢？）

†[吕]鉄能将鉄折断么？又是北方的鉄和铜？

†[思]人岂能折断北方的铁和铜？

†[当代]“人怎能粉碎铜或铁呢？

†[新译]谁可以折断铁，就是从北方来的铁和铜呢？

†[Wlb]北方之铁与铜、人能折之乎、

†[Xdv]（没有人能够折断铁棒，尤其是从北方来那跟铜混合的铁更没有人能折断。）

†[Kjv]Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

†[Nkjv]Can anyone break iron, The northern iron and the bronze?

†[BBE]Is it possible for iron to be broken; even iron from the north, and brass?

†[GNT] (No one can break iron, especially the iron from the north that is mixed with bronze.)

†[NIV]Can a man break iron- iron from the north-or bronze?

本会注释　　关于 “铁”与更硬的“北方的铁”之间的关系，有各种解释：
　　1.说明上帝指出：不论耶利米的祈祷多么恳切（见耶14:7-9；19-22），都不能改变上帝惩罚百姓罪孽的旨意。
　　2.说明犹大无法抵抗“北方的铁”——迦勒底人征服天下的力量。
　　3.说明与从北方入侵的尼布甲尼撒大军相比，南方埃及的法老尼哥软弱无力。以色列人却想靠他来抵挡巴比伦的进军。
　　4.说明耶利米的敌人无法阻挡先知神圣的使命。他的能力被比作更硬的“北方的铁”。
　　5.说明耶利米无法力制服心地硬如“北方的铁”的百姓顽固不化的罪恶。
　　铜（nechosheth），即“青铜”。

耶15:13 “我必因你在四境之内所犯的一切罪，把你的货物财宝当掠物，白白地交给仇敌。 (串)诗44:12耶17:3

†[吕]“因你在你四境之内所犯的一切罪，我必将你的资财宝物做代价（‘做代价’传统作：毫无代价地）交给仇敌为掠物。

†[思]【我必使你的财产和宝藏，任人抢劫，为赔补你在你全境内犯的罪恶，

†[当代]我要因你们境内所犯的罪，使你们的财物成为别人的战利品，任人白白取夺。

†[新译]因你在四境之内所犯的一切罪，我必把你的财产和宝物，白白给敌人作掠物。

†[Wlb]因尔罪恶、我必于尔四境、使尔货财宝物被掠、不给以值、

†[Xdv]上主对我说：“为了惩罚我子民在全国各地所犯的罪，我要差派敌人来掠夺他们的财宝。

†[Kjv]Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

†[Nkjv]Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder without price, Because of all your sins, Throughout your territories.

†[BBE]I will give your wealth and your stores to your attackers, without a price, because of all your sins, even in every part of your land.

†[GNT] The Lord said to me, "I will send enemies to carry away the wealth and treasures of my people, in order to punish them for the sins they have committed throughout the land.

†[NIV]Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country.

本会注释　　你的货物。这些话显然是对耶利米说的。他是百姓的代求者，所以是他们的代表。
　　白白地。比喻完全抛弃。不幸的是，上帝不得不因他们的罪而撇弃祂的子民，就像人白白抛弃无用的东西一样。

耶15:14 我也必使仇敌带这掠物到你所不认识的地去，因我怒中起的火要将你们焚烧。” (串)耶16:13;17:4|申32:22

†[吕]我必使你在不认识之地服事你的仇敌（传统：我必使你的仇敌过去到你所不认识之地）；因为我怒中有火烧起，要把你们都焚烧掉。”

†[思]叫你在你不认识的地方，给你的仇敌为奴，因为我的怒火已燃起，必对你们发作】。

†[当代]我要使仇敌把这些掳物带到你们不认识的地方，因为我怒火如焚，要烧向你们。”

†[新译]我必使你在你不认识的地方，服事你的仇敌（有古抄本作“我必使你的仇敌过去，到你所不认识的地方”）；因为我的怒火燃烧起来，要烧灭你们。”

†[Wlb]我必使尔服役于敌、至所未识之地、盖我怒如烈火、将燃及尔众、

†[Xdv]我要使他们在陌生的地方受敌人奴役；因为我的忿怒像烈火燃烧，永不熄灭。”

†[Kjv]And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

†[Nkjv]And I will make you cross over with your enemies Into a land which you do not know; For a fire is kindled in My anger, Which shall burn upon you."

†[BBE]They will go away with your haters into a land which is strange to you: for my wrath is on fire with a flame which will be burning on you.

†[GNT] I will make them serve their enemies in a land they know nothing about, because my anger is like fire, and it will burn forever."

†[NIV]I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you."

本会注释　　许多希伯来语抄本是“事奉”，而不是“跟随”。“到……去”也可译为“在”。

耶15:15 耶和华啊，你是知道的；求你记念我，眷顾我，向逼迫我的人为我报仇；不要向他们忍怒取我的命，要知道我为你的缘故受了凌辱。 (串)耶12:3|耶11:20;20:12|诗69:7

†[吕]你是知道的；永恒主阿，记起我，眷顾我；向逼迫我的人为我报复吧！不要向他们忍怒来要我的命哦。要知道我为了你的缘故是怎样担受了

†[思]上主，你都知道，求你回念我，眷顾我，为我报复迫害我的人，不要因你太忍耐，就让我死去；你该知道：正是为了你，我才受人侮辱。

†[当代]主啊，你是什么都知道的！求你记念我、眷顾我，为我报复逼迫我的人。求你不要因你不再忍耐而取我的命；你知道我为了你忍受辱骂。

†[新译]耶和华啊！你知道这一切；求你记念我，看顾我，替我向那些逼迫我的人报复。求你忍怒，不要取去我的性命；要知道，我为你的缘故受了侮辱。

†[Wlb]耶和华欤、尔悉之矣、愿尔记忆我、眷顾我、报复于窘我者、勿以恒忍、俾我灭亡、我为尔故、既受谤渎、尔其知之、

†[Xdv]于是我说：“上主啊，你知道一切。求你记得我，帮助我，向那些迫害我的人报复！求你不要延迟报复；不要让他们有机会杀害我。求你记得，我受侮辱是为了你的缘故。

†[Kjv]O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

†[Nkjv]O LORD, You know; Remember me and visit me, And take vengeance for me on my persecutors. In Your enduring patience, do not take me away. Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.

†[BBE]O Lord, you have knowledge: keep me in mind and come to my help, and give their right reward to those who are attacking me; take me not away, for you are slow to be angry: see how I have undergone shame because of you from all those who make little of your word;

†[GNT] Then I said, "Lord, you understand. Remember me and help me. Let me have revenge on those who persecute me. Do not be so patient with them that they succeed in killing me. Remember that it is for your sake that I am insulted.

†[NIV]You understand, O Lord ; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering-do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.

本会注释　　耶利米在第15-18节中抒发了他心中强烈的感情。先知所说的话表面上有复仇的意思，但实际上并非如此（见《SDA圣经注释》卷三第624页）。耶利米所求的是伸张正义。

耶15:16 耶和华万军之上帝啊，我得着你的言语，就当食物吃了；你的言语是我心中的欢喜快乐，因我是称为你名下的人。 (串)结3:1,3启10:9,10|伯23:12诗119:72

†[吕]藐视你话之人的羞辱呀。消灭他们吧，使你的话成了我的喜乐，我心中所欢喜的哦（传统：要知道我为了你的缘故是怎样担受了羞辱呀。你的话一被发现，我便吃了它们。你的话就成了我的喜乐，我心中所欢喜的）；因为永恒主万军之上帝阿，我是

†[思]你的话一来到，我就吞下去；你的话便成了我的喜悦，我心中的欢乐，上主，万军的天主！因为我是归于你名下的，

†[当代]主万军之上帝啊，我得著你的话就吃下去了，你的话成为我心中的喜乐，因为我是你名下的人。

†[新译]我一得到你的话，就把它们吃了；你的话成了我心中的欢喜快乐；耶和华万军的　神啊！因为我是称为你名下的人。

†[Wlb]万军之上帝耶和华欤、我乃称以尔名、我得尔言以为饮食、斯言在于我心、为我之欢欣喜乐、

†[Xdv]你对我说话，句句我都留心听。主上帝──万军的统帅啊，我是属于你的；你的话使我心里充满喜乐。

†[Kjv]Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

†[Nkjv]Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.

†[BBE]But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.

†[GNT] You spoke to me, and I listened to every word. I belong to you, Lord God Almighty, and so your words filled my heart with joy and happiness.

†[NIV]When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty.

本会注释　　耶和华万军之上帝。见@耶7:3@注释。
　　我得着你的言语。也许他想到自己作为上帝的代言人的使命（见耶1:1,2）。于是他谈到了自己与上帝交往的奇妙经历。他以上帝的话语为粮，心中得到“欢喜快乐”。他觉得这些话语“比蜜甘甜”（见诗19:10）。参以西结的经验（见@结3:1,3@注释）。
　　称为你名下的人。直译为“你的名呼召了我”。耶利米意识到自己已被接纳到天上的家庭。他现在有了这个家庭的名号（见弗3:15），所以据此恳求在仇敌面前得到保护（耶15:15）。

耶15:17 我没有坐在宴乐人的会中，也没有欢乐；我因你的感动（原文作手）独自静坐，因你使我满心愤恨。 (串)诗1:1;26:4,5

†[吕]我没有坐在嘻嘻笑闹者的集会中去欢跃呀；因你手的控制，我独自坐着；因为你使我满了义怒。

†[思]我从没有坐在欢笑者的集会中一同取乐；我却依你的指示独自静坐，因为你使我愤怒填胸。

†[当代]我不坐在作乐的人之中，我也没有狂欢，因你要我独坐一处，使我怒气填胸。

†[新译]我没有坐在欢笑者的集会中一同欢乐；因为你的手在我身上，你使我满了忿怒，我就独自静坐。

†[Wlb]欢娱之会、我未同坐、亦未偕乐、为尔之手、我乃独坐、盖尔充我以怒也、

†[Xdv]我没有浪费光阴，跟别人在一起欢笑，享受人生的乐趣。为了遵从你的命令，我孤立自己，心里充满忿怒。

†[Kjv]I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

†[Nkjv]I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, Nor did I rejoice; I sat alone because of Your hand, For You have filled me with indignation.

†[BBE]I did not take my seat among the band of those who are glad, and I had no joy; I kept by myself because of your hand; for you have made me full of wrath.

†[GNT] I did not spend my time with other people, laughing and having a good time. In obedience to your orders I stayed by myself and was filled with anger.

†[NIV]I never sat in the company of revelers, never made merry with them; I sat alone because your hand was on me and you had filled me with indignation.

本会注释　　宴乐人。或“开玩笑的人”，“寻欢作乐的人”。
　　独自。耶利米从蒙召的时候起，显然就没有享受社交的快乐。作为上帝所拣选的人，他无法从同寻欢作乐的人交往中获得快乐。
　　因你的手。因为上帝的要求，先知过着节制的生活。但他并不总是欣然克己的。有时他心中也有怨恨和忿怒。参以西结的经验（见@结3:14@注释）。

耶15:18 我的痛苦为何长久不止呢？我的伤痕为何无法医治、不能痊愈呢？难道你待我有诡诈，象流干的河道吗？ (串)耶30:15|耶1:18,19|伯6:15

†[吕]我的伤痛为什么长久不止呢？我受的击伤为什么无法医治，拒绝受治疗呢？难道你待我、就像欺人的河流，靠不住的溪水么？

†[思]为什么我的痛苦如此久长，我的创伤不可医治，痊愈无望？你于我好像是一条不常有水，而变化无常的溪流！

†[当代]为什么我的痛楚持续不断呢？为什么我的创伤无法医治呢？为什么你这样不可靠，好像一条时断时有的小溪？

†[新译]我的痛苦为什么长久不止呢？我的创伤为什么无法医治，不得痊愈呢？你对我真的像叫人失望、靠不住的溪流吗？

†[Wlb]我之痛苦、奚久不已、我之创伤、何为不瘳、尔之于我、果如无常之溪、无水之井乎、

†[Xdv]我为什么不断地受苦？为什么我的创伤不得医治？唉！你像干涸的小溪那样的靠不住，老是使我失望。”

†[Kjv]Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

†[Nkjv]Why is my pain perpetual And my wound incurable, Which refuses to be healed? Will You surely be to me like an unreliable stream, As waters that fail?

†[BBE]Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.

†[GNT] Why do I keep on suffering? Why are my wounds incurable? Why won't they heal? Do you intend to disappoint me like a stream that goes dry in the summer?"

†[NIV]Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? Will you be to me like a deceptive brook, like a spring that fails?

本会注释　　有诡诈（kemo 'akzab）。一些古版，七十士译本，古拉丁语译本和亚兰语译本均为“像骗人的水”。所以许多学者认为原文应该为keme 'akzab（“像骗人的水”），就是会消失或干涸的水，欺骗前来取水的人。巴勒斯坦的许多河道水流奔泻，到夏天就干涸了（见@撒上17:3@注释）。

耶15:19 耶和华如此说：你若归回，我就将你再带来，使你站在我面前；你若将宝贵的和下贱的分别出来，你就可以当作我的口。他们必归向你，你却不可归向他们。 (串)亚3:7|本章1|结22:26;44:23

†[吕]所以永恒主这么说：“你若转回来，我就要将你带回，让你侍立在我面前，你若将宝贵的和贱劣的分别出来，你就可以做我的口舌；他们必转回来归于你，你却不可转去归于他们。

†[思]为此上主这样说：“你若回来，我必让你回来，使你能再立在我面前；你若能发表高尚而非荒谬的思想，你就可作我的口舌，使他们转向你，而不是你转向他们。

†[当代]因此，主这样说：“假如你回转，我就恢复你站在我面前的资格；假如你不说无益的话，你便可以作我的发言人，他们便会归向你，但你却不可转向他们。

†[新译]因此，耶和华这样说：“如果你回转，我必让你回来，你就可以侍立在我面前。如果你说宝贵的话，不说无价值的话，就必作我的口。他们要归向你，你却不要归向他们。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、尔若归诚、我必导尔复立我前、尔若取贵者于劣者中、则可为我口、民必归尔、尔勿归彼、

†[Xdv]上主这样回答我：“要是你回来，我要收留你，使你重新作我的仆人。要是你不说废话，只传达必要的信息，你就可以重新作我的代言人。人民会自动归向你；你不必迁就他们。

†[Kjv]Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

†[Nkjv]Therefore thus says the LORD: "If you return, Then I will bring you back; You shall stand before Me; If you take out the precious from the vile, You shall be as My mouth. Let them return to you, But you must not return to them.

†[BBE]For this cause the Lord has said, If you will come back, then I will again let you take your place before me; and if you give out what is of value and not that which has no value, you will be as my mouth: let them come back to you, but do not go back to them.

†[GNT] To this the Lord replied, "If you return, I will take you back, and you will be my servant again. If instead of talking nonsense you proclaim a worthwhile message, you will be my prophet again. The people will come back to you, and you will not need to g

†[NIV]Therefore this is what the Lord says: "If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.

本会注释　　你若归回。暗示责备先知的态度。上帝向耶利米保证，如果他恢复正确的态度，“我就将你再带来”。先知将蒙准真正站在上帝“面前”，继续担任上帝的代言人（见王上17:1；18:15）。
　　分别出来。作为上帝的代言人，耶利米必须善于在他所服侍的百姓中和自己的心里，辨别黄金与渣滓，“宝贵的”与“下贱的”。
　　他们必归向你。一些百姓将会倾听耶利米的话，“归向”他，服从他的指示，追求他的属灵经验，但先知绝不可被任何不敬虔或失败的念头诱惑而“归向”百姓，为讨他们的欢心而在自己的使命上与他们妥协。

耶15:20 我必使你向这百姓成为坚固的铜墙；他们必攻击你，却不能胜你；因我与你同在，要拯救你，搭救你。这是耶和华说的。 (串)耶1:18;6:27|耶20:11,12

†[吕]我必使你向这人民成为坚固的铜墙；他们必攻击你，却不能胜过你；因为是我与你同在，要拯救你，要援救你：这是永恒主发神谕说的。

†[思]这样，我必使你对这人民成为一设防的铜墙，他们能攻击你，却不能制胜你，因为有我与你同在，援助你，解救你──上主的断语──

†[当代]我要使你成为坚固的铜墙；他们虽然要攻击你，却决不能胜过你，因为我常与你在一起，从旁拯救你。

†[新译]我要使你成为坚固的铜墙抵挡这人民，他们必攻击你，却不能胜过你；因为我与你同在，要拯救你，搭救你。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]我将使尔于斯民、为巩固之铜垣、彼必攻尔而不胜、盖我与尔偕、以拯尔也、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]我要使你在群众面前像铜墙一样坚强。他们攻击你，却不能击败你。我要跟你同在，保护你安全。

†[Kjv]And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; And they will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you; For I am with you to save you And deliver you," says the LORD.

†[BBE]And I will make you a strong wall of brass to this people; they will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you to keep you safe, says the Lord.

†[GNT] I will make you like a solid bronze wall as far as they are concerned. They will fight against you, but they will not defeat you. I will be with you to protect you and keep you safe.

†[NIV]I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to rescue and save you," declares the Lord .

本会注释　　我必使你。上帝设法用这些宝贵的应许鼓励耶利米。但上帝也认为需要让祂的仆人看到他将来的一些艰难。在第20,21节中，上帝警告了耶利米，“恶人”会来“攻击”他（见《先知与君王》第419页）。这样，耶利米就不会为今后工作中所遇到的严酷迫害而感到意外。既已得到警告，最好应该有所准备。
　　铜。就是“青铜”。在耶利米时代还没有黄铜。把先知比“铜墙”，就像把他比作“高台”（见@耶6:27@注释）一样。

耶15:21 我必搭救你脱离恶人的手，救赎你脱离强暴人的手。

†[吕]我必援救你脱离坏人的手，必赎救你脱离强暴人的手掌。”

†[思]我必解救你脱离恶人的手，由强暴人的掌握中将你赎回”。

†[当代]我要把你从恶人的手中救出，在强暴人的权势下把你赎回。”

†[新译]“我必搭救你脱离恶人的手，救赎你脱离强暴人的掌握（“掌握”原文作“手掌”）。”

†[Wlb]我必拯尔于恶者之手、赎尔于暴者之手、

†[Xdv]我要从邪恶强暴的人手中把你抢救出来。我是上主；我这样宣布了。”

†[Kjv]And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

†[Nkjv]"I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, And I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible."

†[BBE]I will keep you safe from the hands of the evil-doers, and I will give you salvation from the hands of the cruel ones.

†[GNT] I will rescue you from the power of wicked and violent people. I, the Lord, have spoken."

†[NIV]I will save you from the hands of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the cruel."
