耶利米书第18章

《圣经》耶利米书-第18章

耶18:1 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

†[吕]有出于永恒主而传与耶利米的话说：

†[思]上主有话传给耶肋米亚说：

†[当代]主的话临到耶利米，说：

†[新译]耶和华有话临到耶利米，说：

†[Wlb]耶和华谕耶利米之言、

†[Xdv]上主对我说：

†[Kjv]The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

†[Nkjv]The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

†[BBE]The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

†[GNT] The Lord said to me,

†[NIV]This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord :

怀爱伦注释　　上帝的方法──［引耶18:1-10］这一章乃向我们论述有关上帝对待衪子民的方法，衪发出警告恳请他们要止息行恶，学习行善，并要听基督的话，因为他们都自称是衪的子民，所有的福气乃是应许给一切跟从主而行义的人，但是那些行走自己道路的人乃表明若在任何地方发生艰难的情况时，他们必证实自己是不信的，这样，上帝就不能赐福给他们。（1899.34号信件）
本会注释　　这个信息没有标明日期。但耶18章与耶19章似乎有紧密的联系，所以发布这个信息的日期可能是公元前605年（见@耶19:1@注释）。

耶18:2 “你起来，下到窑匠的家里去，我在那里要使你听我的话。”

†[吕]“你起来，下窑匠的工厂去，在那里我要使你听到我的话。”

†[思]“起来，下到陶工家去，在那我要让你听到我的话”。

†[当代]“你起来下到陶匠的家去，在那里我要向你宣布我的话。”

†[新译]“起来，下到陶匠的家里去，在那里我要使你听到我的话。”

†[Wlb]曰、起往陶人之室、我将于彼使尔听我言、

†[Xdv]“你到那陶匠的家去；在那里我有话交代你。”

†[Kjv]Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

†[Nkjv]"Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My words."

†[BBE]Up! go down to the potter's house, and there I will let my words come to your ears.

†[GNT] "Go down to the potter's house, where I will give you my message."

†[NIV]Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message."

耶18:3 我就下到窑匠的家里去，正遇他转轮做器皿。

†[吕]我便下窑匠的工厂去；见他正在那里用轮盘旋转而作工呢。

†[思]我便下到陶工家，见他正在轮盘上工作。

†[当代]我便下到陶匠的家，见他正在轮盘上造器皿。

†[新译]我就下到陶匠的家里去，见他正在转盘旁工作。

†[Wlb]我遂往陶人之室、见其以钧制器、

†[Xdv]于是我到陶匠家去。我看见他正在转动轮盘，制造陶器。

†[Kjv]Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

†[Nkjv]Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something at the wheel.

†[BBE]Then I went down to the potter's house, and he was doing his work on the stones.

†[GNT] So I went there and saw the potter working at his wheel.

†[NIV]So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel.

本会注释　　转轮。直译是“两个轮子”。古时有些转轮是由两个石圆盘构成，一个轮子在另一个之上转动。下面的轮子在脚的帮助下推动机器，上面的轮子承载泥土，在转动时让窑匠用手来塑造。

耶18:4 窑匠用泥做的器皿，在他手中做坏了，他又用这泥另做别的器皿；窑匠看怎样好，就怎样做。

†[吕]窑匠用泥作的器皿若在他手中坏了，他就再用这泥作别的器皿，照窑匠所看为对的去作。

†[思]陶工用泥做的器皿，若在他手中坏了，他便再做，或另做成一个器皿，全随陶工的意思去做。

†[当代]不料那个泥造的器皿在他手中做坏了，所以他只好重新做一个，他所做的，都是凭著自己的意思。

†[新译]陶匠用他手中的泥所做的器皿坏了，他就用这泥再做别的器皿，照着自己的意思去作。

†[Wlb]所制之器、既坏于陶人之手、乃复以制他器、循其所欲、

†[Xdv]每当手里所捏的黏土不完美，他就用那块黏土做成别的器皿。

†[Kjv]And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

†[Nkjv]And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

†[BBE]And when the vessel, which he was forming out of earth, got damaged in the hand of the potter, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it.

†[GNT] Whenever a piece of pottery turned out imperfect, he would take the clay and make it into something else.

†[NIV]But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

本会注释　　坏了。直译是“毁掉了”（见@耶13:7@注释）。
　　他又用这泥。即用这泥塑造成另外一个器皿。

耶18:5 耶和华的话就临到我说：

†[吕]于是永恒主的话传与我说：

†[思]于是上主的话传给我说：

†[当代]主的话临到我说：

†[新译]于是耶和华的话临到我，说：

†[Wlb]耶和华谕我曰、

†[Xdv]后来，上主又对我说：

†[Kjv]Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

†[Nkjv]Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

†[BBE]Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

†[GNT] Then the Lord said to me,

†[NIV]Then the word of the Lord came to me:

耶18:6 “耶和华说：以色列家啊，我待你们，岂不能照这窑匠弄泥吗？以色列家啊，泥在窑匠的手中怎样，你们在我的手中也怎样。 (串)赛45:9罗9:20,21|赛64:8

†[吕]“以色列家阿，难道我不能待你们、像这窑匠所作的么？看哪，泥在窑匠手中怎么样，以色列家阿，你们在我手中也必怎样。

†[思].“以色列家，我岂不能像这陶工一样对待你们？──上主的断语──以色列家！看，你们在我手中，就像泥土在陶工手中一样。

†[当代]“以色列家啊，难道我不能像陶匠一样待你们吗？以色列家啊，你们在我手中，就像泥在陶匠手中一样。

†[新译]“以色列家啊！难道我不能待你们像这陶匠所作的一样吗？”这是耶和华的宣告。”看哪！泥在陶匠的手中怎样，以色列家啊！你们在我的手中也必怎样。

†[Wlb]以色列家欤、耶和华云、我之待尔、岂不能如陶人乎、以色列家欤、尔在我手、犹泥在陶人手也、

†[Xdv]“难道我不能按照陶匠处理黏土的方法来处理你们以色列人吗？你们在我手中就像黏土在陶匠手中。

†[Kjv]O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

†[Nkjv]"O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?" says the LORD. "Look, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!

†[BBE]O Israel, am I not able to do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. See, like earth in the potter's hand are you in my hands, O Israel.

†[GNT] "Don't I have the right to do with you people of Israel what the potter did with the clay? You are in my hands just like clay in the potter's hands.

†[NIV]O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the Lord . "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

本会注释　　岂不能照这窑匠弄泥吗？上帝在这里对以色列说话，不是针对个人或个人的得救，而是针对整个民族，和他们与祂立约的关系（见第7节）。上帝过去对待以色列的一切作为，都是基于呼召以色列人作为祂所显示之旨意的监护人（罗3:1,2），以及祂拯救世界的特殊工具（创12:1-3；申4:6-9,20；7:6-14；见《SDA圣经注释》本卷第26,27页）。上帝已经清楚地告诉祂的子民，他们只有严格地顺从，才能得到祂的福气，并成为别人的福气（申28:1-14）。如果他们不顺从，就会被咒诅，使以色列人最终失去选民的资格（申28:15,63-66）。上帝在这里通过耶利米重申祂以前藉摩西所说过的话，并警告说，如果他们不顺从，就会使赐福的应许失效。但如果他们真心悔改了，被弃绝的警告也就不会实现了（耶18:7-10）。关于上帝对待各国的原则，见@但4:17@注释；又见@出9:16,17@注释。
　　泥在窑匠的手中怎样。作为一个民族，以色列自愿与上帝立约（出19:3-8；24:3-8）。这样，他们就接受上帝为他们的王（见撒上8:7），由祂来指导国家的事务，以便通过他们，达到拯救世界的目的（见约4:22；见《SDA圣经注释》本卷第26-30页）。他们因自己的选择而成了窑匠手中的泥。在耶利米的时代，“窑匠用泥作的器皿，在他手中作坏了”（耶18:4）。作为大窑匠，上帝有理由把这个民族抛弃。但是祂凭着自己的慈怜，愿意收回这无用的器皿，用于“另作别的器皿”（第4节）。只要他们学会爱上帝并事奉祂，以前的一切应许仍有可能实现（亚6:15；参赛54:7；结36:11；43:10,11；弥6:8；亚10:6；又见《SDA圣经注释》本卷第31,32页）。

耶18:7 我何时论到一邦或一国说，要拔出、拆毁、毁坏； (串)耶1:10

†[吕]我什么时候论到一邦或一国说，要拔除，要拆毁，要毁灭，

†[思]我一时可对一个民族，或一个国家，决意要拔除，要毁坏，要消灭；

†[当代]我在这时刻会对一族或一国说要拔除、拆毁、消灭它。

†[新译]我什么时候宣布要拔出、拆毁、毁灭一邦或一国，

†[Wlb]我论一族、或论一国之时、言欲拔之、毁之、翦灭之、

†[Xdv]无论什么时候，我宣布要铲除，破坏，或摧毁一个国家，

†[Kjv]At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

†[Nkjv]The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it,

†[BBE]Whenever I say anything about uprooting a nation or a kingdom, and smashing it and sending destruction on it;

†[GNT] If at any time I say that I am going to uproot, break down, or destroy any nation or kingdom,

†[NIV]If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed,

本会注释　　上帝用这些话提醒耶利米担任先知工作的使命（耶1:10），声明一切国家的命运都掌握在祂手中（见诗103:19；但2:20,21；4:25）。

耶18:8 我所说的那一邦，若是转意离开他们的恶，我就必后悔，不将我想要施行的灾祸降与他们。 (串)结18:21;33:11|耶26:3拿3:10

†[吕]我所论到的那一邦若转回离开他们的坏事，那我就后悔我想要降与他们的灾祸了。

†[思]但是我要打击的民族，若离弃自己的邪恶，我也反悔，不再给他降原定的灾祸。

†[当代]但如果我要对付的民族肯转离他们的罪恶，我必回心转意，不把我原定的灾祸降给他们。

†[新译]如果我论到的那一邦转离他们的恶行，我就必回心转意，不把我原定的灾祸降给他们。

†[Wlb]如彼邦族转离其恶、我则回意、不降所言之灾、

†[Xdv]如果那国家离弃罪恶，我就回心转意，不降灾难。

†[Kjv]If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

†[Nkjv]if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it.

†[BBE]If, in that very minute, that nation of which I was talking is turned away from its evil, my purpose of doing evil to them will be changed.

†[GNT] but then that nation turns from its evil, I will not do what I said I would.

†[NIV]and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.

本会注释　　若是转意离开他们的恶。本文揭示了深刻的真理。这是一个道德的宇宙。各国的兴衰取决于他们与道德律法之间的关系。如果一个国家遵从公义和慈爱的法规，公平地处理自己的事项，就 “尽都顺利”（诗1:3）。但如果她实施暴政，完全关注物质和世俗的价值观念，在国家和国际上事务上无视诚实的准则，就“必灭亡”（见诗1:6）。犹大仍有悔改的时机。
　　我就必后悔。见@创6:6@；@珥2:13@注释。

耶18:9 我何时论到一邦或一国说，要建立、栽植；

†[吕]我什么时候论到一邦或一国说，要建立，要栽植，

†[思]或者，我一时想对一个民族或一个国家，决意要建设，要栽培，

†[当代]而在别的时候，我也许会对一族或一国说要建造、栽培；

†[新译]同样，我什么时候宣布要建立、栽植一邦或一国，

†[Wlb]我论一族、或论一国之时、言欲植之、建之、

†[Xdv]无论什么时候我宣布要栽培，建立一个国家，

†[Kjv]And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

†[Nkjv]And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,

†[BBE]And whenever I say anything about building up a nation or a kingdom, and planting it;

†[GNT] On the other hand, if I say that I am going to plant or build up any nation or kingdom,

†[NIV]And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted,

耶18:10 他们若行我眼中看为恶的事，不听从我的话，我就必后悔，不将我所说的福气赐给他们。

†[吕]他们若行我所看为坏的事，不听从我的声音，那么我就后悔我所说要使他们得益处的福了。

†[思]但若她行我不喜欢的事，不听从我的声音，我也要反悔，不再给她所许过的恩惠。

†[当代]但如果他们行我认为恶的事，不听我的话，我也要回心转意，不把我曾答应过的福气赐给他们。

†[新译]如果他们行我眼中看为恶的事，不听从我的话，我就必回心转意，不把我应许的好处赐给他们。

†[Wlb]如彼邦族行我所恶、不听我言、我则回意、不锡所言之福、

†[Xdv]如果那国家不服从我，专做坏事，我就改变心意，取消我原先的计划。

†[Kjv]If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

†[Nkjv]if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.

†[BBE]If, in that very minute, it does evil in my eyes, going against my orders, then my good purpose, which I said I would do for them, will be changed.

†[GNT] but then that nation disobeys me and does evil, I will not do what I said I would.

†[NIV]and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.

本会注释　　犹太人不要因自己是上帝的选民，就保证能永远得到上帝的悦钠，不管他们有没有遵行上帝的旨意。

耶18:11 现在你要对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说：‘耶和华如此说：我造出灾祸攻击你们，定意刑罚你们。你们各人当回头离开所行的恶道，改正你们的行动作为。’ (串)王下17:12耶7:3;25:5;26:13

†[吕]现在你要对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说：‘永恒主这么说：看哪，我正在作出（同词：窑匠）灾祸（同词：坏）来攻击你们，拟定计画来刑罚你们呢；你们要回转、各人离开他的坏（同词：灾祸）行径，改正（同词：使┅┅得益处）你们所行所作的

†[思]现在你可告诉犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说：上主这样说：看，我已给你们安排了灾祸，定了惩罚你们的计划，希望你们每人离弃自己的邪道，改善自己的途径和作为”。

†[当代]因此，你现在去告诉犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说：‘主这样说：看哪！我要安排灾祸攻击你们，立意惩罚你们。回转吧！你们各人离开自己的恶道改过自新吧。’

†[新译]“现在你要对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说：‘耶和华这样说：看哪！我正在制造灾祸对付你们，拟定计划惩罚你们。你们各人要回转，离开自己的恶道，改正你们的行径和作为。’

†[Wlb]故当告犹大人、及耶路撒冷居民曰、耶和华云、我造灾以击尔、设谋害尔、其转离尔恶途、改正尔行径、

†[Xdv]所以，你要这样告诉犹大和耶路撒冷人民：我计划打击他们，准备惩罚他们。你要劝他们停止作恶，改变行为。

†[Kjv]Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

†[Nkjv]"Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, "Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.""'

†[BBE]Now, then, say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am forming an evil thing against you, and designing a design against you: let every man come back now from his evil way, and let your ways and your doings be changed for the better.

†[GNT] Now then, tell the people of Judah and of Jerusalem that I am making plans against them and getting ready to punish them. Tell them to stop living sinful lives - to change their ways and the things they are doing.

†[NIV]Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, 'This is what the Lord says: Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actio

本会注释　　造出（yasar）。见@创1:1@注释。本章的“窑匠”来自这个词根。上帝正在审判祂的子民。但还是有机会的。“各人当回头离开所行的恶道”。

耶18:12 “他们却说：‘这是枉然。我们要照自己的计谋去行。’各人随自己顽梗的恶心做事。” (串)耶2:25

†[吕]“他们却说：‘别梦想啦！我们要随着自己的计画而行；我们各人要实行自己顽强之坏（同词：灾祸）心思。’

†[思]他们反倒答说：“已没有希望了！因为我们愿随从自己的计谋，各按自己顽固的恶意行事”。

†[当代]但他们却说：‘没有希望了！我们喜欢依照自己的方针，随著我们自己顽固的恶念行事。’”

†[新译]他们却说：‘没用的！我们要随着自己的计划而行，各人要按着自己顽梗的恶心行事。’”

†[Wlb]惟彼曰、无望也、我必从己所谋、各徇恶心之刚愎而行、

†[Xdv]他们要回答：‘不！我们何必改过？我们要随心所欲，顺着自己顽固的本性作恶。’”

†[Kjv]And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

†[Nkjv]And they said, "That is hopeless! So we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one obey the dictates of his evil heart."

†[BBE]But they will say, There is no hope: we will go on in our designs, and every one of us will do what he is moved by the pride of his evil heart to do.

†[GNT] They will answer, "No, why should we? We will all be just as stubborn and evil as we want to be.' "

†[NIV]But they will reply, 'It's no use. We will continue with our own plans; each of us will follow the stubbornness of his evil heart.' "

本会注释　　这是枉然。这句话实际上犹大的百姓并没有说，而是上帝根据他们的心思和行为代他们说出来的。它所表达的，并不是一种绝望的态度，而是公然拒绝上帝在前一节所显示的慈爱。背道的人似乎在说：“不要指望我们会按你的意思去做”（见耶2:25）。
　　顽梗。直译是“固执”。

耶18:13 所以，耶和华如此说：你们且往各国访问，有谁听见这样的事？以色列民（原文作处女）行了一件极可憎恶的事。 (串)耶2:10林前5:1|耶5:20

†[吕]因此永恒主这么说：你们到列国中去问问，有谁听见过这样的事？以色列子民（原文：处女）行了一件极可憎恶的事。

†[思]为此上主这样说：“你们可到各民族去询问：有谁听到了像这样的事？以色列处女做出了极可憎的事。

†[当代]因此主这样说：“你们可以访问各国，看看谁曾听过像这样的事？以色列人做了一件极可耻的事。

†[新译]因此耶和华这样说：“你们问一问列国，有谁听见过像这样的事呢？童女以色列竟行了一件非常骇人的事。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、以色列处女所行、可憎维甚、询于列邦、孰闻若此之事、

†[Xdv]因此，上主这样说：你们问一问列国，谁听见过这样的事呢？以色列人民做了一件非常可恶的事。

†[Kjv]Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.

†[Nkjv]Therefore thus says the LORD: "Ask now among the Gentiles, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.

†[BBE]So this is what the Lord has said: Make search among the nations and see who has had word of such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very shocking thing.

†[GNT] The Lord says, "Ask every nation if such a thing has ever happened before. The people of Israel have done a terrible thing!

†[NIV]Therefore this is what the Lord says: "Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard anything like this? A most horrible thing has been done by Virgin Israel.

本会注释　　你们且往各国访问。见耶2:10,11。不幸的是，外邦人尚且能忠于他们的假神崇拜，以色列人对上帝却是虚情假意。
　　处女（bethulah）。见@赛7:14@注释。揭露了以色列属灵奸淫的羞耻（耶14:17；结16）。

耶18:14 黎巴嫩的雪从田野的磐石上岂能断绝呢？从远处流下的凉水岂能干涸呢？

†[吕]利巴嫩的雪哪能跟西连（传统：田野）的碞石难绝呢？那山（传统：外人）水、清凉的溪流、哪能乾透（传统：拔除）了呢？

†[思]黎巴嫩山巅的石岂能缺少积雪？丛山间涌流的冰泉，岂能涸竭？

†[当代]难道黎巴嫩的积雪会在郊野的山上消失吗？难道从远处流下的冰凉河水会停止涌流吗？

†[新译]黎巴嫩山上岩石的积雪融化过吗？从远处流下清凉的溪水干涸过吗？

†[Wlb]利巴嫩之雪、岂能绝于田野之磐乎、流自远方之冷水、岂能涸乎、

†[Xdv]黎巴山岩上的积雪融化过吗？山上清凉的涧水干涸过吗？

†[Kjv]Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?

†[Nkjv]Will a man leave the snow water of Lebanon, Which comes from the rock of the field? Will the cold flowing waters be forsaken for strange waters?

†[BBE]Will the white snow go away from the top of Sirion? will the cold waters flowing from the mountains become dry?

†[GNT] Are Lebanon's rocky heights ever without snow? Do its cool mountain streams ever run dry?

†[NIV]Does the snow of Lebanon ever vanish from its rocky slopes? Do its cool waters from distant sources ever cease to flow?

本会注释　　利巴嫩的雪从田野的磐石上岂能断绝呢？说明上帝的大能就像黎巴嫩永不断绝的雪，是祂的子民所应该信赖的。
　　岂能干涸呢？直译是“被拔出来”，就的干了。从远方高山上流下来的，人们所渴望的凉水是永不干涸的。

耶18:15 我的百姓竟忘记我，向假神烧香，使他们在所行的路上，在古道上绊跌，使他们行没有修筑的斜路， (串)耶2:32;3:21;13:25|耶44:15,19|耶6:16

†[吕]然而我人民竟忘记了我，去向虚空的神熏祭，在他们的路上、往古的路途上、绊跌（传统：他们使他们绊跌），去行偏的路径，不是填高的道路，

†[思]但我的人民却忘掉了我，向“虚无”献香，滑出了自己的正道，离开旧日的行径，而走上了小道，不平坦的路，

†[当代]我的子民竟把我置诸脑后，向虚无的神烧香，在他们旧日的路上滑跌；他们不行康庄大道，却走旁门左道，

†[新译]但我的子民竟忘记我，向虚无的偶像烧香，以致他们在自己的路上、在古道上绊倒，行走小路，不是修建过的大道。

†[Wlb]惟我民忘我、焚香于虚无之物、蹶于故辙、致行未筑之路、

†[Xdv]然而，我的子民忘记了我；他们向偶像烧香。他们在该走的路上绊倒，不再走那古道；他们走上没有路标的小径。

†[Kjv]Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

†[Nkjv]"Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths, To walk in pathways and not on a highway,

†[BBE]For my people have put me out of their memory, burning perfumes to that which is nothing; and because of this, I will put a cause of falling in their ways, even in the old roads, and will make them go on side-roads, in a way not lifted up;

†[GNT] Yet my people have forgotten me; they burn incense to idols. They have stumbled in the way they should go; they no longer follow the old ways; they walk on unmarked paths.

†[NIV]Yet my people have forgotten me; they burn incense to worthless idols, which made them stumble in their ways and in the ancient paths. They made them walk in bypaths and on roads not built up.

本会注释　　使他们在所行的路上，在古道上绊跌。指把人们引入歧途的假先知和假教师（见耶14:13-18）。
　　在古道上。就是 “他们所行的路”，指先祖恒久的信心（见@耶6:16@注释）。犹大离开宽阔的大路，走进狭窄的小道，除了“绊跌”，还会怎么样呢？

耶18:16 以致他们的地令人惊骇，常常嗤笑；凡经过这地的必惊骇摇头。 (串)耶19:8;49:13;50:13|王上9:8哀2:15弥6:16

†[吕]致使他们的地成了令人惊骇、老被嗤笑之地；凡经过这里的、都必惊骇摇头。

†[思]使自己的地域变为惊愕的原因，取笑的目标；凡经过这地方的人，莫不惊异摇首。

†[当代]以致自己的地成为废墟，令人惊怕，为人嗤笑；凡经过这地的无不诧异，摇头叹息。

†[新译]他们的土地变为荒凉，成为永远被人嗤笑的对象；经过这地的，都必惊骇摇头。

†[Wlb]其地成为怪异、被人嗤笑、凡过之者、必骇异而摇首、

†[Xdv]他们把这块土地变成恐怖的地方，永远被人唾弃；过路人看见了都惊骇摇头。

†[Kjv]To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

†[Nkjv]To make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; Everyone who passes by it will be astonished And shake his head.

†[BBE]Making their land a thing of wonder, causing sounds of surprise for ever; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, shaking his head.

†[GNT] They have made this land a thing of horror, to be despised forever. All who pass by will be shocked at what they see; they will shake their heads in amazement.

†[NIV]Their land will be laid waste, an object of lasting scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will shake their heads.

本会注释　　令人惊骇。即将来临的入侵将使人口完全流失。两个“惊骇”的词根是一样的。
　　常常嗤笑。表示不断地嘲笑。
　　摇头。不是嘲笑，而是同情土地的荒凉。

耶18:17 我必在仇敌面前分散他们，好象用东风吹散一样。遭难的日子，我必以背向他们，不以面向他们。 (串)耶13:24|诗48:7|耶2:27

†[吕]我必像像热东风吹散他们于仇敌面前；当他们遭遇灾难的日子，我必以背向着他们，决不以面。”

†[思]我必像一阵东风在敌人面前将他们吹散；在他们灭亡之日，我必使你们只见我背，不见我面”。

†[当代]在敌人面前，我要像东风把他们吹散；在他们遭受灾祸的时候，我必不理睬他们。”

†[新译]在他们的敌人面前，我要像东风吹散他们；在他们遭难的日子，我必使他们只见我的背，不见我的面。”

†[Wlb]我将于敌前散之、若以东风飘之、彼遭难之日、我必背之、而不面之、

†[Xdv]我要在敌人面前驱散我的子民，像东风吹散灰尘。灾难来临的时候，我要转身不理他们。

†[Kjv]I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

†[Nkjv]I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back and not the face In the day of their calamity."

†[BBE]I will send them in flight, as from an east wind, before the attacker; I will let them see my back and not my face on the day of their downfall.

†[GNT] I will scatter my people before their enemies, like dust blown by the east wind. I will turn my back on them; I will not help them when the disaster comes."

†[NIV]Like a wind from the east, I will scatter them before their enemies; I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster."

本会注释　　东风。指来自荒漠的炽热，难熬，充满尘埃的风（见@耶4:11@注释；参诗48:7；拿4:8）。
　　以背向他们。上帝“面”上的光充满有喜乐与平安（见民6:25,26），不面向他们，就是把他们留在不幸的阴影中。这是对那些背离上帝之人的公正报应（见耶2:27）。

耶18:18 他们就说：“来吧！我们可以设计谋害耶利米；因为我们有祭司讲律法，智慧人设谋略，先知说预言，都不能断绝。来吧！我们可以用舌头击打他，不要理会他的一切话。” (串)耶11:19|利10:11玛2:7约7:48,49

†[吕]他们就说：“来吧，我们来设计谋害耶利米；因为祭司有礼节规矩，智慧人有谋略，神言人有话语，都不能断绝掉。来吧，我们用口舌攻击他，他的什么话、我们都别理它。”

†[思]他们说：“来，我们合谋陷害耶肋米亚！因为没有司祭，法律不会因此废止；没有智者，计谋不会因此缺乏；没有先知，神谕不会因此断绝。来，我们用舌头评击他，不注意他的一切劝告”。

†[当代]他们会说：“来吧！让我们设计谋陷害耶利米。我们有祭司便不会没有律法，有智慧人便不会没有策略，有先知便不会没有预言；我们不需要耶利米。来吧！我们抨击他，不要听他任何的话。”

†[新译]他们说：“来吧！我们来设计对付耶利米；因为祭司的律法、智慧人的谋略、先知的话都不会断绝。来吧！我们用舌头攻击他，不理会他的一切话。”

†[Wlb]彼曰、其来、尔我同谋以攻耶利米、因法律不绝于祭司、谋略不绝於哲人、预言不绝于先知、来哉、我侪以舌攻之、勿听其言、

†[Xdv]于是人民说：“来吧！我们来对付杰里迈亚！我们随时有祭司教导我们，有智者辅导我们，有先知传达上帝的信息。我们来指控杰里迈亚，不要再听他的话。”

†[Kjv]Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

†[Nkjv]Then they said, "Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us attack him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words."

†[BBE]Then they said, Come, let us make a design against Jeremiah; for teaching will never be cut off from the priest, or wisdom from the wise, or the word from the prophet. Come, let us make use of his words for an attack on him, and let us give attention with care to what he says.

†[GNT] Then the people said, "Let's do something about Jeremiah! There will always be priests to instruct us, the wise to give us counsel, and prophets to proclaim God's message. Let's bring charges against him and stop listening to what he says."

†[NIV]They said, "Come, let's make plans against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest will not be lost, nor will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. So come, let's attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he

本会注释　　来吧。先知刺耳的信息引起了百姓的反感。他们公然表达了敌意，想要杀死耶利米（见耶11:21）。
　　因为我们有祭司讲律法。百姓自欺欺人地以为他们所欢迎的祭司和先知已经在律法上给了他们充份的指导，值得他们信赖，不必理会耶利米所警告将来危机。本节的局面很可能就是巴施户珥阴谋的背景（见耶20:1-3）。

耶18:19 耶和华啊，求你理会我，且听那些与我争竞之人的话。

†[吕]“永恒主阿，求你理我！听我辩诉（传统：那些控诉我的人）的声音！

†[思]上主，愿你俯听我，请听我敌人的声明。

†[当代]主啊，求你垂听我，也留心听我敌人的谗言！

†[新译]耶和华啊！求你倾听我的申诉，听那些指控我的人的声音。

†[Wlb]耶和华欤、求尔垂顾、听敌我者之言、

†[Xdv]因此我祷告：“上主啊，求你垂听我的陈诉，听听我敌人指控我的话。

†[Kjv]Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.

†[Nkjv]Give heed to me, O LORD, And listen to the voice of those who contend with me!

†[BBE]Give thought to me, O Lord, and give ear to the voice of those who put forward a cause against me.

†[GNT] So I prayed, "Lord, hear what I am saying and listen to what my enemies are saying about me.

†[NIV]Listen to me, O Lord ; hear what my accusers are saying!

耶18:20 岂可以恶报善呢？他们竟挖坑要害我的性命！求你记念我怎样站在你面前为他们代求，要使你的忿怒向他们转消。 (串)诗109:4,5|本章22诗35:7;57:6

†[吕]难道坏行为可以报善行，以致他们挖坑要害我的性命么？求你记起我怎样站在你面前为他们说好话，要使你的烈怒转消、不降于他们。

†[思]难道该以怨报德吗？他们竟掘下陷阱来陷害我的性命！望你记忆：我曾站在你面前为他们求情，替他们挽回你的盛怒。

†[当代]难道他们要以怨报德吗？他们设下陷阱谋害我，求你回想我怎样站在你面前为他们求情，使你的烈怒从他们身上撤消。

†[新译]良善的应得恶报吗？他们竟然挖陷坑害我。求你记念我怎样站在你面前，为他们说好话，使你的烈怒离开他们。

†[Wlb]以恶报善可乎、彼乃掘阱以陷我命、我曾立于尔前、为之祈福、使尔怒转离之、

†[Xdv]良善应得恶报吗？他们挖陷阱要害我。求你想一想，我在你面前替他们哀求过；我曾经求你不要在烈怒中对付他们。

†[Kjv]Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

†[Nkjv]Shall evil be repaid for good? For they have dug a pit for my life. Remember that I stood before You To speak good for them, To turn away Your wrath from them.

†[BBE]Is evil to be the reward of good? for they have made a deep hole for my soul. Keep in mind how I took my place before you, to say a good word for them so that your wrath might be turned away from them.

†[GNT] Is evil the payment for good? Yet they have dug a pit for me to fall in. Remember how I came to you and spoke on their behalf, so that you would not deal with them in anger.

†[NIV]Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood before you and spoke in their behalf to turn your wrath away from them.

本会注释　　挖坑。形象地比喻敌人对先知的仇恨。他们要挖坑捕捉他，就像捕捉野兽一样。
　　我的性命。指“我”（见@诗16:10@注释）。
　　我怎样站在你面前。这里特指先知为他的同胞代求，没有取得成功（见耶14；15）。后典《马加比下》提到了耶利米的代求：“然后阿尼亚回答说，这是爱护你的弟兄、不停地为犹太人民和圣城祈祷的人。他就是上帝的先知耶利米”（《马加比下》15:14）。

耶18:21 故此，愿你将他们的儿女交与饥荒和刀剑；愿他们的妻无子，且作寡妇；又愿他们的男人被死亡所灭，他们的少年人在阵上被刀击杀。 (串)诗109:9,10

†[吕]故此愿你将他们的儿女交于饥荒，将他们交付于刀剑手下；愿他们的妻丧失儿子，并做寡妇；愿他们的男人被疫疠杀死，他们的壮丁在战阵上被刀剑击杀。

†[思]为此，你应使他们的子孙遭受荒，任人屠杀；使他们的妇女丧子居寡，使他们的男人死于瘟疫，使他们的青年在战埸上死于刀下。

†[当代]因此，愿他们的儿女处于饥荒，死于战争；愿他们妻丧子亡，愿他们的男子被击杀，愿他们的青年在战场死于刀下；

†[新译]因此，愿你使他们的儿女遭受饥荒，把他们交给刀剑（“刀剑”原文作“刀剑的手”）；愿他们的妻子丧夫失子；愿他们的男人被杀死，他们的壮丁在战场上被刀剑击杀。

†[Wlb]求尔垂念焉、男被戮而亡、少者临陈、陨于锋刃、

†[Xdv]但现在呢？上主啊，我求你：让他们的儿女饿死；让他们战死；让他们的女人丧夫失子；让他们的壮丁死于瘟疫，年轻人横尸沙场。

†[Kjv]Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

†[Nkjv]Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, And pour out their blood By the force of the sword; Let their wives become widows And bereaved of their children. Let their men be put to death, Their young men be slain By the sword in battle.

†[BBE]For this cause, let their children be without food, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be without children and become widows; let their men be overtaken by death, and their young men be put to the sword in the fight.

†[GNT] But now, Lord, let their children starve to death; let them be killed in war. Let the women lose their husbands and children; let the men die of disease and the young men be killed in battle.

†[NIV]So give their children over to famine; hand them over to the power of the sword. Let their wives be made childless and widows; let their men be put to death, their young men slain by the sword in battle.

耶18:22 你使敌军忽然临到他们的时候，愿人听见哀声从他们的屋内发出；因他们挖坑要捉拿我，暗设网罗要绊我的脚。 (串)本章20

†[吕]你使侵掠的匪帮突击他们时，愿人听见哀呼声从他们屋里发出；因为他们挖坑要捉拿我，埋藏网罗要绊我的脚。

†[思]当你引匪队突击他们时，愿从他们的屋可听到哭声，因为他们掘了陷阱捕捉我，在我脚下设下罗网。

†[当代]当你使敌军突袭他们的时候，愿他们屋中发出哀声，因为他们掘坑捕捉我，设下罗网绊跌我。

†[新译]你使侵略者忽然临到他们的时候，愿人从他们的屋里听见呼救声；因为他们挖陷坑要捉拿我，埋藏网罗要绊我的脚。

†[Wlb]尔使军旅忽临之、哭声闻于其室、盖彼掘阱以陷我躬、设网以绊我足、

†[Xdv]求你差派掠夺者突然来到，洗劫他们的家园，使他们惊恐哀号；因为他们挖陷阱要谋害我，张罗网要抓我。

†[Kjv]Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

†[Nkjv]Let a cry be heard from their houses, When You bring a troop suddenly upon them; For they have dug a pit to take me, And hidden snares for my feet.

†[BBE]Let a cry for help go up from their houses, when you send an armed band on them suddenly: for they have made a hole in which to take me, and have put nets for my feet secretly.

†[GNT] Send a mob to plunder their homes without warning; make them cry out in terror. They have dug a pit for me to fall in and have set traps to catch me.

†[NIV]Let a cry be heard from their houses when you suddenly bring invaders against them, for they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden snares for my feet.

本会注释　　愿人听见哀声。百姓拒既拒绝了上帝所提供的怜悯，就只能让巴比伦人攻占耶路撒冷了。他们将残暴地对待其中的居民（见王下8:12；何13:16）。亚述的雕刻展示了古代战俘的可怕命运。
　　网罗。捕鸟人所用的（见诗140:5；142:3）。

耶18:23 耶和华啊，他们要杀我的那一切计谋，你都知道。不要赦免他们的罪孽，也不要从你面前涂抹他们的罪恶，要叫他们在你面前跌倒；愿你发怒的时候罚办他们。 (串)尼4:5诗109:14耶11:20;15:15

†[吕]但你呢、永恒主阿，你深知道他们要害我到死的一切计谋阿。不要赦除他们的罪孽哦！不要从你面前涂抹他们的罪哦！使他们在你面前被摔倒吧！愿你发怒时罚辨他们。

†[思]至于你，上主，你知道他们对我的一切计划是要杀害我；请你不要宽恕他们的过恶，不要由你面前抹去他们的罪过，务使他们倒仆在你面前；在你发怒时，求你报复他们。

†[当代]主啊，你知道他们一切置我于死的计谋，求你不要赦免他们的罪，也不要在你面前抹去他们的恶，求你使他们在你面前仆倒；求你发怒的时候，清算他们一切的不义！

†[新译]耶和华啊！至于你，你知道他们要杀我的一切计谋。求你不要赦免他们的罪孽，不要从你面前涂抹他们的罪！使他们在你面前绊倒；求你在发怒的时候，对付他们。

†[Wlb]耶和华欤、彼谋杀我、尔悉知之、勿赦其愆、勿涂其罪、使之倾覆于尔前、尔震怒时、宜处治之、

†[Xdv]上主啊，你知道他们杀害我的阴谋。不要饶恕他们的恶行，不要赦免他们的罪过。求你使他们在你面前绊倒；求你在烈怒下惩罚他们。”

†[Kjv]Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

†[Nkjv]Yet, LORD, You know all their counsel Which is against me, to slay me. Provide no atonement for their iniquity, Nor blot out their sin from Your sight; But let them be overthrown before You. Deal thus with them In the time of Your anger.

†[GNT] But, Lord, you know all their plots to kill me. Do not forgive their evil or pardon their sin. Throw them down in defeat and deal with them while you are angry."

†[NIV]But you know, O Lord , all their plots to kill me. Do not forgive their crimes or blot out their sins from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger.
