耶利米书第3章

《圣经》耶利米书-第3章

耶3:1 有话说：‘人若休妻，妻离他而去，作了别人的妻，前夫岂能再收回她来？’若收回她来，那地岂不是大大玷污了吗？但你和许多亲爱的行邪淫，还可以归向我。这是耶和华说的。 (串)申24:4|耶2:7|耶2:20结16:26,28,29|耶4:1亚1:3

†[吕]永恒主的话传与我（参耶2：1加上的），说：“人若把妻子离出去，而妻子离开他而去，做了别人的妻子，她哪能再回转来归前夫呢？（传统：他哪能再回去找她呢？）那么那妇人（传统：那地）岂不是大大被玷污了么？然而你，你和许多情人行

†[思]试问：若男人离弃了自己的妻子，她离开他而另嫁了别人，前夫岂能再回到她那去？像这样的女人，岂不是已全被玷污了吗？你已与许多爱人行淫，你还想回到我这来吗？──上主的断语──

†[当代]主说：“如果丈夫休弃自己的妻子，妻子离开了他而另嫁别人，试问，前夫怎会再回到她那里去呢？像这样的妇人，岂不已完全被玷污了吗？纵然你曾与许多情人行不贞的事，你仍然可以回转归向我。

†[新译]耶和华说：“人若是休妻，妻子离开了他，又嫁了别人，前夫怎能与她复合呢？如果复合，那地不是大大玷污了吗？你曾与许多情人行淫，还想归向我。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]有曰、人出其妻、妻离之而他适、前夫岂复纳之、若然、斯地非受污之甚乎、耶和华曰、惟尔相爱者众、与之行淫、犹思归我乎、

†[Xdv]上主说：“如果丈夫休了妻子，妻子离开他，跟别人结婚，他怎能把她再接回来呢？他这样做就是玷污了土地。但是以色列啊，你跟好些情郎私奔，现在却想回来找我。

†[Kjv]They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]"They say, "If a man divorces his wife, And she goes from him And becomes another man's, May he return to her again?' Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; Yet return to Me," says the LORD.

†[BBE]They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.

†[GNT] The Lord says, "If a man divorces his wife, and she leaves him and becomes another man's wife, he cannot take her back again. This would completely defile the land. But, Israel, you have had many lovers, and now you want to return to me!

†[NIV]If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers- would you now return to me?" declares the Lord .

本会注释　　有话说（le'mor）。没有说明它所指的内容。关于这个不规则的动词结构，解经者有不同的解释：一，与耶2:37的“弃绝”有关（耶2:37）；二，原先是“上帝的话临到我，说”。后来前面部分略去了，只剩下“有话说”；三，原文相当于 “换句话说”，或“例如”；四，有省略成分，应解读为 “一般说来”或“可以说”。不论采用何种译法，都不影响下文的解释。在七十士译本和亚兰语圣经中，该词没有译出。
　　休。指申24:1-4的律法。如果这个预言的信息是在发现了律法书、人们对其中的内容重新产生兴趣以后（王下22:10,11）发出的，这样的引用就有特殊的意义。但发出信息的日期无法确认。耶利米也有可能引用他的先辈何西阿的经验和信息。为了说明上帝如何对待悖逆的百姓，何西阿娶回了失贞的妻子（何2:14,16,19,20；3:1）。耶利米的任务十分艰巨。他要让他的同胞认识到，只有他们的内心发生了深刻的变化，上帝才会重新接纳他们。
　　前夫岂能再收回？这个动词暗示“他应该回来吗？”
　　那地。见@申24:4@注释。
　　许多亲爱的。犹大与上帝已经正式订立庄严的约，所以她寻求别神的行为被视为属灵的奸淫。她不但背信弃义，而且一再追求众多的假神。
　　还可以归向我（shob）。该动词的含义不很明确。亚兰语，塔古姆，武加大拉丁文译本和英文KJV版，都把shob译为祈使语气。上帝实际上是在说，虽然按照律法的规定，我不应该接纳你，但你还是归向我吧。这句话的基本含义是呼唤回归（耶3:12,14,22；4:1；亚1:3），所以这样理解是合适的。但shob是阳性形式，而上帝把祂的子民比作女人。本节一开始用了阴性代词。既然比喻没有改变，动词自然就会是阴性的。在另一方面，大多数现代学者遵从七十士译本，把这句话译成问句，显然把shob理解为 “回归”，对犹大愿意回归表示怀疑和惊讶。英RSV版和ASV版的旁注译为“你愿意回来吗？”似乎更符合第2节的内容。在上帝接纳这些悖逆的人以前，他们必须表现出悔改和诚意的证据。

耶3:2 你向净光的高处举目观看，你在何处没有淫行呢？你坐在道旁等候，好象阿拉伯人在旷野埋伏一样，并且你的淫行邪恶玷污了全地。 (串)申12:2耶2:20|创38:14箴23:28结16:24,25|本章9耶2:7

†[吕]你向无草木的高处举目看吧！在哪一个地方你没有受过糟蹋？你坐在路旁等候情人，好像亚拉伯人在旷野埋伏着一样：你竟用你的淫行和邪恶把这地都玷污了。

†[思]你举目环顾高丘．看看在什么地方你没有受过玷污？你坐在各路旁等候他们，像个在旷野里的阿刺伯人，以你淫乱和邪恶玷污了这土地。

†[当代]你举目看看那些光秃的高山，找找哪些地方是你未曾玷污过的。你就像一个在荒野中等候机会行淫的阿拉伯人一样，你的淫行和邪恶玷污了这地。

†[新译]“你向光秃的高冈举目看看，哪里没有你的淫迹？你坐在路边等候情人，像阿拉伯人在旷野埋伏一样。你以淫乱和邪恶，把这地玷污了。

†[Wlb]仰观荒邱、尔何在未受玷污、尔坐道旁以待、若亚拉伯人之伏于旷野、以尔淫乱邪恶、污蔑斯土、

†[Xdv]你举目看看那些山头！你能找到一片你没有卖过淫的土地吗？你在路旁等候情郎，好像阿拉伯人埋伏旷野，等着猎物一样。你的淫行玷污了土地；

†[Kjv]Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

†[Nkjv]"Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights and see: Where have you not lain with men? By the road you have sat for them Like an Arabian in the wilderness; And you have polluted the land With your harlotries and your wickedness.

†[BBE]Let your eyes be lifted up to the open hilltops, and see; where have you not been taken by your lovers? You have been seated waiting for them by the wayside like an Arabian in the waste land; you have made the land unclean with your loose ways and your evil-doing.

†[GNT] Look up at the hilltops. Is there any place where you have not acted like a prostitute? You waited for lovers along the roadside, as an Arab waits for victims in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution.

†[NIV]Look up to the barren heights and see. Is there any place where you have not been ravished? By the roadside you sat waiting for lovers, sat like a nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness.

本会注释　　高处。犹大犯属灵奸淫的地点（见王下21:3；参耶2:20）。
　　在道旁。像妓女一样勾引过路人（见创38:14；箴7:12；结16:24,25）。
　　好像阿拉伯人。犹大急于参加偶像崇拜的仪式，就像沙漠的强盗埋伏着要抢劫过路的客商。

耶3:3 因此甘霖停止，春（原文作晚）雨不降。你还是有娼妓之脸，不顾羞耻。 (串)利26:19申28:23,24|耶5:3;6:5结3:7

†[吕]因此甘霖停止，春雨不降；你还有妓女面孔，不顾羞耻！

†[思]为此，秋雨不降，春雨不来。你具有娼妓的面孔，仍然不知羞耻。

†[当代]因此，秋雨不降、春雨不来；可是，你仍然挂著娼妓的面孔，不知羞耻。

†[新译]所以甘霖停止，春雨不降；你还是一副妓女的面孔（“面孔”原文作“额”），不顾羞耻。

†[Wlb]故甘霖不降、春雨不零、惟尔具有淫妇之颜、不知羞愧、

†[Xdv]所以甘霖不降，春雨不下。你脸上有一副淫相，你竟不觉得羞耻。

†[Kjv]Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

†[Nkjv]Therefore the showers have been withheld, And there has been no latter rain. You have had a harlot's forehead; You refuse to be ashamed.

†[BBE]So the showers have been kept back, and there has been no spring rain; still your brow is the brow of a loose woman, you will not let yourself be shamed.

†[GNT] That is why the rains were held back, and the spring showers did not come. You even look like a prostitute; you have no shame.

†[NIV]Therefore the showers have been withheld, and no spring rains have fallen. Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute; you refuse to blush with shame.

本会注释　　停止。正如上帝所预言的（见利26:19；见@申28:23,24@注释），旱灾是因他们背道而临到的（见耶14:1-6）。
　　春（原文作晚）雨。晚雨降于三月和四月初，早雨降于十月和十一月（见@申11:14@；@耶5:24@；@珥2:23@注释）。它们对于丰收都是很重要的。
　　娼妓之脸。比喻恬不知耻，不思悔改（耶6:15；8:12；参启17:5）。灾难没有使犹大吸取教训。

耶3:4 从今以后，你岂不向我呼叫说：我父啊，你是我幼年的恩主。 (串)耶2:2箴2:17

†[吕]岂不是你刚刚呼叫我：‘我父阿，你是我青年时的配偶──

†[思]从今以后，你要向我喊说：“我父！你是我青年时的良友！”

†[当代]你不是刚对我说：‘我父呀！你不是我年轻的朋友吗？

†[新译]你刚刚不是还呼叫我：‘我父啊！你是我年轻时的良伴；

†[Wlb]自兹以往、尔岂不呼我曰、尔乃我父、为我少年之导、

†[Xdv]“以色列啊！现在你却对我说：‘你是我的父亲，从我幼小的时候你就疼爱我。

†[Kjv]Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?

†[Nkjv]Will you not from this time cry to Me, "My Father, You are the guide of my youth?

†[BBE]Will you not, from this time, make your prayer to me, crying, My father, you are the friend of my early years?

†[GNT] "And now you say to me, "You are my father, and you have loved me ever since I was a child.

†[NIV]Have you not just called to me: 'My Father, my friend from my youth,

本会注释　　从今以后。可能指约西亚执政第12年开始的改革，其高潮是六年以后逾越节的大庆典（代下34:3；35:19）。虽然国王是诚心的，百姓的反应却多半是口头上的。
　　你岂不？或“你难道没有？”
　　恩主（alluph）。“朋友”或“密友”，这里指“丈夫”（见@箴2:17@注释）。

耶3:5 耶和华岂永远怀怒，存留到底吗？看哪，你又发恶言又行坏事，随自己的私意而行（或作：你虽这样说，还是行恶放纵欲心）。 (串)本章12诗77:7赛57:16

†[吕]你心里想：难道永恒主要永远怀怒？要长久存着义愤么？’看哪，你虽这么说了，你却又尽所能地去作坏事！”

†[思]心想：“岂能永远发怒，怀恨到底？”看，你虽如此说，却仍尽力作恶。

†[当代]难道你会永远发怒、怀恨到底吗？’你虽然这样说，却力行恶事。”

†[新译]耶和华怎会永远怀怒，常存愤恨呢？’你虽然这样说了，还是尽力去作恶。”

†[Wlb]彼岂含怒迄于永久、蓄忿至于终极乎、尔虽言此、而仍作恶、以成尔欲、

†[Xdv]你不会一直对我生气，长久忿怒。’这是你说的话，但是你却一意孤行，做尽坏事。”

†[Kjv]Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.

†[Nkjv]Will He remain angry forever? Will He keep it to the end?' Behold, you have spoken and done evil things, As you were able."

†[BBE]Will he be angry for ever? will he keep his wrath to the end? These things you have said, and have done evil and have had your way.

†[GNT] You won't always be angry; you won't be mad at me forever.' Israel, that is what you said, but you did all the evil you could."

†[NIV]will you always be angry? Will your wrath continue forever?' This is how you talk, but you do all the evil you can."

本会注释　　耶和华岂永远怀怒？这句话似乎是第4节话语的延续。百姓以为，虽然他们背信弃义，他们神圣丈夫的忿怒将会过去。
　　你又发恶言又行坏事。在犹大似是而非的话语和她拜偶像的行为之间形成鲜明的对比。
　　随自己的私意。或“随你的能力”。犹大竭尽全力地作恶。

耶3:6 约西亚王在位的时候，耶和华又对我说：“背道的以色列所行的，你看见没有？她上各高山，在各青翠树下行淫。 (串)本章11,14耶7:24|赛2:20

†[吕]当约西亚王执政的日子，永恒主对我说：“转离正道的以色列所行的，你看见了没有？她怎样上了各高山，到了各茂盛树下，在那里行淫。

†[思]在约史雅为王的时日，上主对我说：“失节的以色列所做的，你看见了没有？她上到一切高山上，走到所有的绿树下，在那行淫。

†[当代]在约西亚王执政的时候，主对我说：“以色列不忠不贞的行为，你看见了没有？她攀登高山，藏匿在绿荫下，在那里放纵情欲。

†[新译]约西亚王在位的日子，耶和华对我说：“背道的以色列所作的，她怎样走上各高山，在每棵繁茂的树下行淫，你看见了没有？

†[Wlb]当约西亚王时、耶和华谕我曰、悖逆之以色列、其所为者、汝见之乎、彼陟诸高冈、诣诸绿树、行淫于彼、

†[Xdv]约西亚作犹大王的时候，上主对我说：“你看见了那不贞洁的女人以色列的行为没有？她离弃我，在每一座山头上，每一棵绿树下卖淫。

†[Kjv]The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

†[Nkjv]The LORD said also to me in the days of Josiah the king: "Have you seen what backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there played the harlot.

†[BBE]And the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what Israel, turning away from me, has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every branching tree, acting like a loose woman there.

†[GNT] When Josiah was king, the Lord said to me, "Have you seen what Israel, that unfaithful woman, has done? She has turned away from me, and on every high hill and under every green tree she has acted like a prostitute.

†[NIV]During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord said to me, "Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there.

本会注释　　耶和华又对我说。先知把犹大对偶像崇拜的态度与以色列进行比较。犹大喜欢嘲笑被亚述俘掳的北方支派。耶利米指出犹大的罪其实更加严重。
　　约西亚王在位的时候。说明这段话是耶利米工作的早期说的（见本册注释第19页）。发布的时间可能是约西亚试图清除偶像崇拜，恢复耶和华真实崇拜以后不久。
　　你看见没有？以色列是大约100年以前被掳的。这里的“看见”意思是“想过”。
　　背道的（meshubah）。以色列和犹大是背道的姊妹。
　　她上。原文动词形式指的是习惯性行为（见耶2:20）。

耶3:7 她行这些事以后，我说她必归向我，她却不归向我。她奸诈的妹妹犹大也看见了。 (串)结23:22|结16:46;23:4

†[吕]我心里说：‘她行了这些事以后，一定会转会来归于我’；她却没有转回来；她奸诈的妹妹犹大也看见了。

†[思]我以为她作了这一切以后，会回到我这来；但是她没有回来。她失信的姊妹犹大也看见了此事：

†[当代]我以为她会回头，谁知她还是沉迷不悟，甚至她那奸诈叛逆的妹妹犹大也看见这事。

†[新译]我以为她作了这些事以后，就必回转过来，可是她没有回转。她诡诈的妹妹犹大也看见了。

†[Wlb]我曰、彼行此事、后必归我、惟彼不归、其诡谲之妹犹大见之矣、

†[Xdv]我以为，她做了这一切后会回到我这里来；可是她没有回来；她不贞的姊妹犹大也看见了这一切。

†[Kjv]And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

†[Nkjv]And I said, after she had done all these things, "Return to Me.' But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

†[BBE]And I said, After she has done all these things she will come back to me; but she did not. And her false sister Judah saw it.

†[GNT] I thought that after she had done all this, she would surely return to me. But she did not return, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it all.

†[NIV]I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.

本会注释　　她必归向我。或“你要归向我”。前一种译文似乎更好一些。
　　她奸诈的妹妹。参结16:46；23:2,4。以色列公开与耶和华脱离关系。犹大自称忠贞，却行为奸诈。犹大的貌合神离，在上帝看来比以色列的公开亵渎更加恶劣。他们除了不贞以外，还加上欺骗和伪善。

耶3:8 背道的以色列行淫，我为这缘故给她休书休她；我看见她奸诈的妹妹犹大，还不惧怕，也去行淫。 (串)王下17:7,18|结23:11

†[吕]她看见（传统：我看见）为了转离正道的以色列犯了奸淫的缘故，我把她离出去，并且将离婚书给了她；然而她奸诈的妹妹犹大还不惧怕；她也去行淫。

†[思]虽然看见了我为了失节的以色列所犯的种种奸淫，而命她离去，给了她休书，她这失信的姊妹犹大却不害怕，竟然也去行淫。

†[当代]我因看见以色列不忠贞的淫行，便断然把她休弃，又给她一封离婚书；谁知她奸诈的妹妹犹大还不害怕，竟重蹈覆辙。

†[新译]因背道的以色列犯了淫乱，我就给她休书，把她休了。我看见她诡诈的妹妹犹大还是不惧怕，照样行淫。

†[Wlb]悖逆之以色列、因其宣淫、为我所出、与以离书、其诡谲之妹犹大、仍不畏惧、往而行淫、我见之矣、

†[Xdv]犹大看见了我离弃了叛逆不贞的以色列，给她休书；但是不贞的犹大并不害怕，反而自甘堕落，也沦为娼妓，

†[Kjv]And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

†[Nkjv]Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.

†[BBE]And though she saw that, because Israel, turning away from me, had been untrue to me, I had put her away and given her a statement in writing ending the relation between us, still Judah, her false sister, had no fear, but went and did the same.

†[GNT] Judah also saw that I divorced Israel and sent her away because she had turned from me and had become a prostitute. But Judah, Israel's unfaithful sister, was not afraid. She too became a prostitute

†[NIV]I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery.

本会注释　　我看见。一份希伯来语和几份希腊语抄本，以及亚兰语译本均为“她看见”。这两种译法都符合上下文。
　　休她。以色列被掳到亚述时就亡国了。作为一个民族，她的生命结束了（王下17:6,18）。

耶3:9 因以色列轻忽了她的淫乱，和石头木头行淫，地就被玷污了。 (串)耶2:27|本章2耶2:7

†[吕]由于她淫行的轻薄性，她把这地都沾污了（传统：她跟着地被沾污），去跟石头和木干行奸淫。

†[思]由于她轻易行淫，与石碣和木偶淫乱，玷污了这土地。

†[当代]由于以色列滥操淫行，竟然与木石也胡乱行淫，这土地也因此被玷污了。

†[新译]因以色列把自己的淫行视作等闲，去与石头木头行淫，就把这地玷污了。

†[Wlb]彼轻其淫乱、污蔑斯土、徇欲于木石、

†[Xdv]一点儿不觉得羞耻。她也玷污了土地，她拜石头、木头，对我不贞。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

†[Nkjv]So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry, that she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and trees.

†[BBE]So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.

†[GNT] and was not at all ashamed. She defiled the land, and she committed adultery by worshiping stones and trees.

†[NIV]Because Israel's immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.

本会注释　　轻忽（qol）。源于词根qalal（“苗条”，“迅速”，“疏忽”）。Qol只在本节有这样的意思。七十士译本为eis outhen （“不当回事”）。根据这种译法，犹大对自己的通奸不以为然。
　　玷污。见耶2:7。
　　石头木头。他们的偶像（见耶2:27）。

耶3:10 虽有这一切的事，她奸诈的妹妹犹大还不一心归向我，不过是假意归我。这是耶和华说的。” (串)代下34:33何7:14

†[吕]虽有这一切事，奸诈的犹大（传统：她奸诈的妹妹犹大）还不一心转回来归于我，不过是假意而已：这是永恒主发神谕说的。”

†[思]尽管这样，她失信的姊妹犹大回到我这来，仍不是全心，只是假意──上主的断语。”

†[当代]虽然如此，她奸诈的妹妹犹大仍不是全心归向我，只是假装而已。”这是主说的。

†[新译]虽然这样，她诡诈的妹妹犹大还没有全心归向我，只是假意地归我。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]其诡谲之妹犹大、仍不专诚归我、惟伪为耳、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]做了这一切后，以色列那不贞的姊妹犹大假装回来，但不是出于诚意。我是上主；我这样宣布了。”

†[Kjv]And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense," says the LORD.

†[BBE]But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord.

†[GNT] And after all this, Judah, Israel's unfaithful sister, only pretended to return to me; she was not sincere. I, the Lord, have spoken."

†[NIV]In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense," declares the Lord .

本会注释　　一心。约西亚领导下的改革（第6节）只是在表面上归向上帝。百姓心里依然依恋他们的偶像。国王死后，他们就公然回到偶像崇拜之中（王下23:31,32；代下36:5-8）。
　　假意。 “虚伪”或“欺骗”。犹大假意接受改革。

耶3:11 耶和华对我说：“背道的以色列比奸诈的犹大还显为义。 (串)结16:51

†[吕]永恒主对我说：“转离正道的以色列比诡诈的犹大还显得罪轻。

†[思]上主于是对我说：“失节的以色列比失信的犹大，更显得正义。

†[当代]主对我说：“不忠贞的以色列比奸诈的犹大罪名较轻。

†[新译]耶和华对我说：“背道的以色列，比诡诈的犹大还显得正义。

†[Wlb]耶和华谕我曰、悖逆之以色列、较诡谲之犹大、尚显其义、

†[Xdv]上主又告诉我，以色列虽然离弃他，却比那不贞的犹大好些。

†[Kjv]And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.

†[Nkjv]Then the LORD said to me, "Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

†[BBE]And the Lord said to me, Israel in her turning away is seen to be more upright than false Judah.

†[GNT] Then the Lord told me that, even though Israel had turned away from him, she had proved to be better than unfaithful Judah.

†[NIV]The Lord said to me, "Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah.

本会注释　　见第7节注释。伪善和公然背道都是得罪上帝的（《先祖与先知》第523页）。犹大拥有的特权多，她的罪行就更显严重。犹大的特权包括：一，一直由大卫家族担任国王。在她作为一个王国存在的所有年份里，只受一个王朝统治，避免了她的北方邻居所饱受的政治动乱。二，在她境内有圣殿和其中上帝同在的标志。三，大部分祭司和利未人都在她境内。他们是耶和华崇拜的正式代表。四，有以色列的覆灭作为鉴戒达百年之久。
　　尽管有这些特权，犹大依然背信，伪善，狂妄自负。以色列虽然公开背道，罪恶却不比犹大严重（见结16:51,52；23:11；太12:41,42；路18:14）。“人越明白上帝的旨意，他们违背祂旨意的罪也就越大”（《先祖与先知》第584页）

耶3:12 你去向北方宣告说：耶和华说：背道的以色列啊，回来吧！我必不怒目看你们；因为我是慈爱的，我必不永远存怒。这是耶和华说的。 (串)本章18耶31:8|本章5诗86:15

†[吕]你去将以下这些话向北方宣告说：‘永恒主发神谕说：转离正道的以色列阿，转回来吧！我必不变脸色看你们了：因为我有坚固的爱，我必不永远怀怒：这是永恒主发神谕说的。

†[思]你去向北方宣布这些话说：失节的以色列！请你归来──上主的断语──我不会对你怒容相向，因为我是仁慈的──上主的断语──我不会永远发怒，

†[当代]你去向北方的以色列宣告说：‘不忠贞的以色列啊，回转吧！我必不怒目看你们，因为我是满有恩典的，我必不永远怀怒。’这是主说的。

†[新译]你去，把这些话向北方宣告，说：‘背道的以色列啊，回转吧！’这是耶和华的宣告。’我必不向你们变脸，因为我是慈爱的，我必不永远怀怒。’这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]尔其北往、宣斯语曰、耶和华云、悖逆之以色列欤、尔其归哉、我乃矜悯、不怒视尔、不永怀愤、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]因此，他命令我到北方，去向以色列说：“不忠的以色列啊，回到我这里来吧！我对你的爱不变；我不永久向你发怒。

†[Kjv]Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.

†[Nkjv]Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say: "Return, backsliding Israel,' says the LORD; "I will not cause My anger to fall on you. For I am merciful,' says the LORD; "I will not remain angry forever.

†[BBE]Go, and give out these words to the north, and say, Come back, O Israel, though you have been turned away from me, says the Lord; my face will not be against you in wrath: for I am full of mercy, says the Lord, I will not be angry for ever.

†[GNT] He told me to go and say to Israel, "Unfaithful Israel, come back to me. I am merciful and will not be angry; I will not be angry with you forever.

†[NIV]Go, proclaim this message toward the north: " 'Return, faithless Israel,' declares the Lord , 'I will frown on you no longer, for I am merciful,' declares the Lord , 'I will not be angry forever.

本会注释　　北方。指十个支派所流亡的亚述北方各省（见王下15:29；17:6；18:11；耶16:15；23:8；31:8）。本节邀请被掳者悔改回归。
　　背道的以色列啊，回来吧。原文运用双关的手法 “回来”是shubah。“背道”是meshubah。见第6节注释。对以色列的呼吁，无疑是为了激发犹大产生圣洁的羡慕和悔改（见罗11:14）。
　　我必不怒目看你们。即“朝你们变脸”。参创4:5,6（见伯29:24）。上帝将不再怒目看他们（见利17:10；诗34:16）。
　　我是慈爱的。上帝的慈爱是这一有条件之应许的基础，以及一切接受这应许之人的希望（见耶3:5；参诗86:15；103:8,9）。

耶3:13 只要承认你的罪孽，就是你违背耶和华你的上帝，在各青翠树下向别神东奔西跑，没有听从我的话。这是耶和华说的。 (串)利26:40箴28:13|申12:2|本章2耶2:25结16:15,24,25

†[吕]你只要承认（同词：知道）你的罪孽，承认你怎样悖逆了永恒主你的上帝，在各茂盛树下向外族人的神东奔西跑，没有听从我的声音：这是永恒主发神谕说的。

†[思]只要你承认你的罪过，承认背叛上主你的天主，在一切绿树下，与异邦神祗恣意相爱，没有听我的声音，上主的断语。

†[当代]‘只要你承认你犯了罪，违背了主你的上帝，在绿荫树下四散敬拜外邦的神只，又不听从我的话，我便不惩罚你。’这是主说的。

†[新译]‘只要你承认自己的罪孽，就是悖逆了耶和华你的　神，在每棵繁茂的树下，滥爱外族人的神，没有听从我的话。’这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]尔干罪于尔上帝耶和华、奔驰诸路、在诸绿树之下、崇事他神、不从我言、当自认尔罪、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]我只要你承认自己的罪过，承认你得罪上主──你的上帝，曾经在每一棵绿树下跟异国的神明行淫，违背了我的命令。我是上主；我这样宣布了。

†[Kjv]Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Only acknowledge your iniquity, That you have transgressed against the LORD your God, And have scattered your charms To alien deities under every green tree, And you have not obeyed My voice,' says the LORD.

†[BBE]Only be conscious of your sin, the evil you have done against the Lord your God; you have gone with strange men under every branching tree, giving no attention to my voice, says the Lord.

†[GNT] Only admit that you are guilty and that you have rebelled against the Lord, your God. Confess that under every green tree you have given your love to foreign gods and that you have not obeyed my commands. I, the Lord, have spoken.

†[NIV]Only acknowledge your guilt- you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,' " declares the Lord .

本会注释　　承认你的罪孽。悔改和认罪是宽恕的先决条件。人必须勇敢地面对自己的罪并坦然地承认（见诗51:3；赛59:12；耶14:20），不可隐瞒，也不可无谓地辩解（见@箴28:13@注释）。
　　东奔西跑。见耶2:23；结16:15,24,25,36。以色列就是这样追求异国新的崇拜方式。
　　别神。外邦的的神（见耶2:25；申12:2；32:16）。

耶3:14 耶和华说：背道的儿女啊，回来吧！因为我作你们的丈夫，并且我必将你们从一城取一人，从一族取两人，带到锡安。 (串)耶31:32何2:19,20|罗11:5

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：转离正道的儿女阿，转回来吧！因为我才是你们的夫君；我必将你们从一城取一人，从一族取两人，将你们带到锡安。

†[思]失节的女子，们归来──上主的断语──因为我是你们的主人，我要选取们，每城选一人，每族选二人，领们进入熙雍；

†[当代]“‘不忠贞的以色列啊！回转吧！’这是主说的。‘因为我是你们的主。你们既分散在各处，我会在这里取一个，在那里取两个，带你们一同回到锡安。’

†[新译]‘背道的人哪，回转吧！’这是耶和华的宣告。’因为我才是你们的主。我要每城取一人，每族取二人，把你们带到锡安。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、悖逆之子、尔其归哉、我为尔夫、必于尔中、每邑简一人、每家简二人、导尔至锡安、

†[Xdv]“不忠的子民哪，回来吧！我是你们的主人。我要从你们的每一城市选出一人，从每一宗族选出两人，带回锡安山去。

†[Kjv]Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

†[Nkjv]"Return, O backsliding children," says the LORD; "for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

†[BBE]Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;

†[GNT] "Unfaithful people, come back; you belong to me. I will take one of you from each town and two from each clan, and I will bring you back to Mount Zion.

†[NIV]Return, faithless people," declares the Lord , "for I am your husband. I will choose you-one from a town and two from a clan-and bring you to Zion.

本会注释　　儿女。即 “儿子们”。上帝像耶稣比喻中浪子的父亲那样，欢迎飘流异乡的儿子们回来。
　　我作你们的丈夫（ba`al）。“娶一个女子为妻”，或“管辖”。七十士译本采用第二个词义，译为“我将管辖你”。注意本节的双重比喻。先把以色列比作浪子，再比作离开丈夫的妻子（见耶31:32；参赛54:5；何2:19,20）。
　　从一城取一人。先知想到回来的人不多。真心悔改的人只是少数余民。得救是个人的事。
　　一族（mishpachah）。在本节指比城市大的单位，可能包括好几座城市。“从一城取一人，从一族取两人，”证实了这种解释（见创10:5；12:3；参22:18）。注意“城”的规模可以从一个村庄到一座大城市。

耶3:15 我也必将合我心的牧者赐给你们。他们必以知识和智慧牧养你们。” (串)耶23:4结34:23弗4:11|徒20:28

†[吕]‘我也必将合我心意的牧民者赐给你们；他们必以知识和通达牧养你们。

†[思]在那给们一些随我心意的牧者，以智慧和明智牧养们。

†[当代]我要赐给你们一些合我心意的人，以知识与智慧牧养你们。

†[新译]“我必把合我心意的牧人赐给你们，他们要用知识和智慧牧养你们。

†[Wlb]以遂我心之牧者赐尔、使以智慧明哲养尔、

†[Xdv]我要赐给你们服从我命令的统治者，他们要用聪明和智慧来统治你们。

†[Kjv]And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

†[Nkjv]And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

†[BBE]And I will give you keepers, pleasing to my heart, who will give you your food with knowledge and wisdom.

†[GNT] I will give you rulers who obey me, and they will rule you with wisdom and understanding.

†[NIV]Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.

本会注释　　牧者。见@耶2:8@注释。
　　合我心的。大卫被称为合上帝心意的人（撒上13:14；诗89:20；徒13:22）。本节把上帝所拣选的牧人与以色列的国王进行对比。以色列的国王不是上帝任命的，而是遵照百姓的意愿而立的（见何8:4）。这些国王把国家引向背道和灭亡。

耶3:16 耶和华说：“你们在国中生养众多；当那些日子，人必不再提说耶和华的约柜，不追想，不记念，不觉缺少，也不再制造。 (串)赛65:17

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：将来你们在此地增多繁殖起来、那些日子、人必不再提说‘永恒主的约柜’；约柜必不再涌上人的心头；人必不再想念它，不觉得失掉它，也不再制造它。

†[思]你们在这地上繁衍增殖的时日──上主的断语──人不再提“上主的约柜”，也不再思念，不再追忆，不再关怀，不再制造。

†[当代]你们在地上繁衍昌盛的时候，人就不会再提及主的约柜；不再追想、不再记念、不感到需要、也不再制造。

†[新译]当那些日子，你们在这地繁殖增多的时候，人必不再提说耶和华的约柜，不把它放在心上，不思念它，不觉得缺少，也不再制造。’这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、其时尔昌炽繁衍于斯土、人不复言耶和华之约匮、不置于心、不记忆之、不诣其所、不制造之、

†[Xdv]你们在这块土地上重新繁盛增多的时候，人民不再提起我的约柜，不再想起，也不再记念。他们不再需要约柜，也不另造一个。

†[Kjv]And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.

†[Nkjv]"Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days," says the LORD, "that they will say no more, "The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.

†[BBE]And it will come about, when your numbers are increased in the land, in those days, says the Lord, that they will no longer say, The ark of the agreement of the Lord: it will not come into their minds, they will not have any memory of it, or be conscious of the loss of it, and it will not be made again.

†[GNT] Then when you have become numerous in that land, people will no longer talk about my Covenant Box. They will no longer think about it or remember it; they will not even need it, nor will they make another one.

†[NIV]In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land," declares the Lord , "men will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the Lord .' It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be mad

本会注释　　你们在国中生养众多。参耶23:3；结36:11；又见申8:7-20。
　　耶和华的约柜。约柜是上帝长久同在的象征，是值得敬重的物件。施恩座上方有上帝的荣光，象征至高者的临格。它是古代以色列人预表性崇祀的中心。耶利米预言上帝将来会在地上建立祂的居所。上帝的真正同在将使祂临格的象征成为过去。如果古代以色列人接受为他们所制定的计划，他们将有光荣的前途（见本卷注释第27-30页）。

耶3:17 那时，人必称耶路撒冷为耶和华的宝座；万国必到耶路撒冷，在耶和华立名的地方聚集。他们必不再随从自己顽梗的恶心行事。 (串)赛60:9|耶11:8

†[吕]那时人必称耶路撒冷为永恒主的宝座；列国必聚集到那里，为了永恒主的名的缘故他们必聚集到耶路撒冷；他们必不再随从自己顽强的坏心思而行事。

†[思]那时，人要称耶路撒冷为“上主的御座”，万民要奉上主的名，汇集在耶路撒冷，不再随从自己邪恶而顽固的心行事。

†[当代]那时，人要称耶路撒冷为‘主的宝座’，各国要奉主的名在耶路撒冷聚集；人再不会依从自己执迷不悟的恶念行事。

†[新译]‘那时，人必称耶路撒冷为耶和华的宝座，万国要聚集到她那里，因耶和华名的缘故来到耶路撒冷；他们必不再随从自己顽梗的恶心行事。

†[Wlb]其时人必称耶路撒冷为耶和华之位、列邦必缘耶和华名、集于耶路撒冷、不复徇其恶念、刚愎而行、

†[Xdv]到那时候，他们要称耶路撒冷为‘上主的宝座’；万国万民都要聚集在那里敬拜我。他们不再受顽固和邪恶的心驱使作恶。

†[Kjv]At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

†[Nkjv]"At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow the dictates of their evil hearts.

†[BBE]At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.

†[GNT] When that time comes, Jerusalem will be called "The Throne of the Lord,' and all nations will gather there to worship me. They will no longer do what their stubborn and evil hearts tell them.

†[NIV]At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the Lord , and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord . No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.

本会注释　　称耶路撒冷为耶和华的宝座。假如以色列人关注天国来的真光，耶路撒冷就会成为“地上的大都市”（《历代愿望》第577页；见本册注释第30页）。
　　万国。参赛66:18；亚14:16。
　　顽梗。或“固执”（见耶11:8）。

耶3:18 当那些日子，犹大家要和以色列家同行，从北方之地一同来到我赐给你们列祖为业之地。” (串)赛11:13结37:16-22|本章12耶31:8|摩9:15

†[吕]当那些日子犹大家必跟以色列家同行；他们从北方之地一同来到我使你们列祖拥为己业之地。

†[思]在那些时日内，犹大家与以色列家同行，从北方起回到我赐给了你们祖先作基业的地内。

†[当代]那时，犹大家必与以色列家同行，从北方一同携手来到我赐给你们祖先为基业的地方。”

†[新译]在那些日子，犹大家必与以色列家同行，他们必从北方之地一同来到我赐给你们列祖为业的地方。’”

†[Wlb]是日也、犹大家、将与以色列家偕行、来自北方、诣我所锡尔祖为业之地、

†[Xdv]以色列将跟犹大联合；他们要一起离开北方那流亡之地，回到我赐给你们祖先作永久产业的土地。”上主说：

†[Kjv]In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

†[Nkjv]"In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers.

†[BBE]In those days the family of Judah will go with the family of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north into the land which I gave for a heritage to your fathers.

†[GNT] Israel will join with Judah, and together they will come from exile in the country in the north and will return to the land that I gave your ancestors as a permanent possession."

†[NIV]In those days the house of Judah will join the house of Israel, and together they will come from a northern land to the land I gave your forefathers as an inheritance.

本会注释　　和以色列家同行。以色列和犹大一同从被掳之地回来，重新联合成一个国家（见赛11:12,13；结37:16,17；何1:11；参弗2:14-16；3:6）。他们之间的长期敌意将会消除，一起归向上帝（见耶30:3,10,11；31:31-33；50:4,5）。
　　北方之地。指被掳前往的亚述（见第12节注释）和巴比伦（见@耶1:14@注释；参耶16:15；23:8）。七十士译本还加上“和所有的国家”（参耶32:37）。

耶3:19 我说：我怎样将你安置在儿女之中，赐给你美地，就是万国中肥美的产业。我又说：你们必称我为父，也不再转去不跟从我。 (串)申8:7诗106:24结20:6|赛63:16

†[吕]“‘我心里说：我必怎样将你安置在儿女之中，赐给你可喜爱之地、列国中美上美的产业。我心里又说：你必会以‘我父阿’称呼我，你必不会再转去而不随从我了。

†[思]我曾想过：多么愿意待你像一个儿子，赐给你赏心悦目的土地，列国中最美好的领土，我以为你会以“我父”称呼我，不会转身远离我；

†[当代]“我心想：我是多么盼望你与我的儿女同列，又把万国中最肥美的地土赐给你，期望你们称我为‘父’，再不离开我呢！

†[新译]“我说：‘我待你，像待儿女一样，赐给你佳美之地，就是列国中最美好的产业；我以为你会称我为父，不再离去不跟从我了。

†[Wlb]我曾曰、我置尔于诸子中、锡尔乐土、列国中极美之业、又曰、尔必称我为父、不转而不从我、

†[Xdv]以色列啊，我乐意认你作儿子，把全世界最美好的土地──那最肥沃的，赐给你。我要你叫我爸爸，永不再背离我。

†[Kjv]But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

†[Nkjv]"But I said: "How can I put you among the children And give you a pleasant land, A beautiful heritage of the hosts of nations?' "And I said: "You shall call Me, "My Father," And not turn away from Me.'

†[BBE]But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.

†[GNT] The Lord says, "Israel, I wanted to accept you as my child and give you a delightful land, the most beautiful land in all the world. I wanted you to call me father and never again turn away from me.

†[NIV]I myself said, " 'How gladly would I treat you like sons and give you a desirable land, the most beautiful inheritance of any nation.' I thought you would call me 'Father' and not turn away from following me.

本会注释　　我怎样？这句话可以被视为感叹句。
　　在儿女之中。对这句话有不同的见解。有人认为“儿女”指以色列所要承受的其他国家。有人则依据犹大被比作耶和华之妻而反对这种看法（“你”在这里是阴性的）。但将妻子安置在儿女之中（第20节）似乎不合情理。还有人把这句话与第16节上半部分对应起来，仿佛上帝在说：“我怎么会把你安置在儿女中间！”七十士译本为 “我将你安排在儿女中间”。
　　美地。或“盼望之地”（见诗106:24；亚7:14；参但8:9；11:16,41）。
　　万国中肥美的产业。指最光荣的产业（见结20:6,15）。巴勒斯坦的自然之美和肥沃的土地现在已丧失许多。
　　称我为父。参第4节。

耶3:20 以色列家，你们向我行诡诈，真象妻子行诡诈离开她丈夫一样。这是耶和华说的。 (串)赛48:8耶5:11

†[吕]其实呢，以色列家阿，妇人怎样行奸诈离开他丈夫，你们也怎样以奸诈待我：这是永恒主发神谕说的。’”

†[思]但是，你们，以色列家对待我，正如对自己良友不忠的妇女──上主的断语。

†[当代]可惜，以色列啊！你竟对我不忠，像不忠的妇人离开她的丈夫一样。”这是主说的。

†[新译]以色列家啊！妻子怎样行奸诈对丈夫不忠，你也照样以奸诈待我。’”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]以色列家欤、妇行诈以离其夫、尔如是行诈于我、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]但你对我不忠，像不贞的妻子私奔。我是上主；我这样宣布了。

†[Kjv]Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Surely, as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, So have you dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel," says the LORD.

†[BBE]Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.

†[GNT] But like an unfaithful wife, you have not been faithful to me. I, the Lord, have spoken."

†[NIV]But like a woman unfaithful to her husband, so you have been unfaithful to me, O house of Israel," declares the Lord .

耶3:21 在净光的高处听见人声，就是以色列人哭泣恳求之声，乃因他们走弯曲之道，忘记耶和华他们的上帝。 (串)赛15:2

†[吕]听阿，在无草木的高处上听到了声音，是以色列人哭泣的恳求，因为他们歪曲了他们的路，忘记了永恒主他们的上帝。

†[思]在荒丘上可听到一片喧嚷：那是以色列子民的哀号哭泣，因为他们走入了邪途，忘却了自己的天主，上主。

†[当代]有声音从光秃的山头传来，那正是以色列子民哭泣呼求的声音，因为他们走入歧途，把他们的主上帝忘掉了。

†[新译]在光秃的高冈听到人声，就是以色列人哭泣恳求的声音；因为他们改转了自己的道路，忘记了耶和华他们的　神。

†[Wlb]今在荒邱、闻有人声、乃以色列人哀哭祈求、因行邪道、忘其上帝耶和华、

†[Xdv]听吧，山头上有呼声，是以色列人流泪哀求的声音；因为他们偏离了正路，忘记了上主──他们的上帝。

†[Kjv]A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.

†[Nkjv]A voice was heard on the desolate heights, Weeping and supplications of the children of Israel. For they have perverted their way; They have forgotten the LORD their God.

†[BBE]A voice is sounding on the open hilltops, the weeping and the prayers of the children of Israel; because their way is twisted, they have not kept the Lord their God in mind.

†[GNT] A noise is heard on the hilltops: it is the people of Israel crying and pleading because they have lived sinful lives and have forgotten the Lord their God.

†[NIV]A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the Lord their God.

本会注释　　听见人声。这里的语气发生了突然的变化（第21-25节），先知描写他的同胞切心悔改认罪。
　　在净光的高处。过去拜偶像的地方，现在发出哭泣和恳求的声音（见耶7:29）。按照东方的习惯，地势高的地方往往被选作公众举哀的场所（见士11:37；赛15:2）。

耶3:22 你们这背道的儿女啊，回来吧！我要医治你们背道的病。看哪，我们来到你这里，因你是耶和华我们的上帝。 (串)本章14何14:1|何6:1;14:4

†[吕]“转离正道的儿女阿，转回来吧！我要医治你们的转离。”“看哪，我们来找你了；因为你才是永恒主我们的上帝。

†[思]“归来！失节的子民，让我疗愈你们的失节。”“看，我回到你这，的确，你是上主，我们的天主。

†[当代]“不忠贞的子民啊，归来吧！我要赦免你们不忠贞的罪。”“看哪，我们要亲近你，因为你是主我们的上帝。

†[新译]“背道的人哪，回转吧！我必医治你们背道的病。”“看哪！我们来到你这里，因为你是耶和华我们的　神！

†[Wlb]尔悖逆之子欤、尚其归我、我必医尔悖逆、曰、我归尔、缘尔为我之上帝耶和华也、

†[Xdv]离弃上主的人哪，你们回来吧！他要医治你们，使你们不再背叛。你们回答：“是！我们要回到上主那里，因为他是我们的上帝。

†[BBE]Come back, you children who have been turned away, and I will take away your desire for wandering. See, we have come to you, for you are the Lord our God.

†[GNT] Return, all of you who have turned away from the Lord; he will heal you and make you faithful. You say, "Yes, we are coming to the Lord because he is our God.

†[NIV]Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding." "Yes, we will come to you, for you are the Lord our God.

本会注释　　你们这背道的儿女啊，回来吧。见第12节注释，参第14节。
　　我要医治。参耶30:17；33:6。
　　看哪，我们来。这是百姓对于宽恕和复兴之应许的应有反应。上帝赐给他们“藉以归向祂的话语”（《先知与君王》第410页）。

耶3:23 仰望从小山或从大山的喧嚷中得帮助，真是枉然的。以色列得救，诚然在乎耶和华我们的上帝。 (串)诗121:1,2|诗3:8

†[吕]实在的，要从小山的声音、从大山的喧哗，得帮助、都是徒劳的；实在的，以色列之得救都在于永恒主我们的上帝。

†[思]诚然丘岭和山上的狂欢尽是虚幻；唯在上主，我们的天主那，有以色列的救援。

†[当代]诚然，山丘上喧闹作乐声是虚张声势的骗局。以色列的救恩全在乎主我们的上帝。

†[新译]小山和大山上的喧嚷，真是徒然的，以色列的救恩诚然在于耶和华我们的　神。

†[Wlb]瞻仰冈陵、恃山上之喧阗、实属徒然、以色列之拯救、乃在我上帝耶和华、

†[Xdv]我们在山头上拜偶像，得不到一点儿好处。惟有上主──我们的上帝能够拯救以色列。

†[Kjv]Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.

†[Nkjv]Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, And from the multitude of mountains; Truly, in the LORD our God Is the salvation of Israel.

†[BBE]Truly, the hills, and the noise of an army on the mountains, are a false hope: truly, in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.

†[GNT] We were not helped at all by our pagan worship on the hilltops. Help for Israel comes only from the Lord our God.

†[NIV]Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills and mountains is a deception; surely in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.

本会注释　　本节的原文非常简洁，难以理解。直译是“来自小山，喧嚷和大山，肯定是骗人的”。许多希伯来文本把“喧嚷”和“大山”连成“大山的喧嚷”。七十士译本的“小山”是复数的。其总体意思是清楚的。这里在偶像崇拜毫无价值的骗人仪式，与敬拜耶和华的可靠性之间，进行了鲜明的对比。

耶3:24 从我们幼年以来，那可耻的偶像将我们列祖所劳碌得来的羊群、牛群，和他们的儿女都吞吃了。 (串)耶11:13何9:10

†[吕]从我们幼年以来那可耻的偶像就把我们列祖所劳碌得来的羊群牛群和儿女都吞吃了。

†[思]可耻的神祗，自我们幼年就吞噬了我们祖先的收入，他们的羊群、牛群和子女。

†[当代]自我们年幼时，那些可耻的神像把我们祖先辛苦所得来的牛羊和儿女都吞灭了。

†[新译]从我们幼年以来，我们列祖劳苦得来的，他们的牛羊，他们的儿女，都给那可耻的偶像吞掉了。

†[Wlb]自我少时、我之列祖劳力而得牛羊、及其子女、彼可耻之物、乃吞噬之、

†[Xdv]但是我们拜巴力──那可耻的偶像，因此我们失掉了羊群、牛群、儿女，就是我们祖先自古以来建立的一切家业。

†[Kjv]For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

†[Nkjv]For shame has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth-- Their flocks and their herds, Their sons and their daughters.

†[BBE]But the Baal has taken all the work of our fathers from our earliest days; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

†[GNT] But the worship of Baal, the god of shame, has made us lose flocks and herds, sons and daughters - everything that our ancestors have worked for since ancient times.

†[NIV]From our youth shameful gods have consumed the fruits of our fathers' labor- their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.

本会注释　　那可耻的。指百姓无耻地崇拜偶像（见耶11:13；何9:10）。希伯来语的bosheth（“羞耻”），还用来贬称巴力（见@耶2:26@注释）。
　　吞吃。有些注释者认为是指把大量羊牛献祭给异教的神，以及让儿女经火献给亚扪的火神摩洛（诗106:38；耶7:31）。但这里似乎更有可能指以色列的背道所造成的大毁灭。

耶3:25 我们在羞耻中躺卧吧！愿惭愧将我们遮盖；因为从立国（原文作幼年）以来，我们和我们的列祖常常得罪耶和华我们的上帝，没有听从耶和华我们上帝的话。 (串)拉9:7|耶22:21

†[吕]我们躺卧在羞耻中吧！愿惭愧将我们遮盖住吧！因为我们犯罪得罪了永恒主我们的上帝了，我们和我们的列祖、从我们幼年、一直到今日：我们总没有听从永恒主我们的上帝的声音。”

†[思]让我们躺卧在我们耻辱中，让我们以羞惭遮盖我们，因为我们和我们的祖先，自我们幼年直到今日，得罪了上主我们的天主，从来没有听从上主我们的天主的声音。”

†[当代]让我们卧在自己的羞耻中，让我们的羞愧把我们遮盖，因为从幼年到现在，我们和我们的祖先都一直犯罪违背主，也不听从我们上帝的话。”

†[新译]但愿我们躺卧在羞耻中，让惭愧遮盖着我们！因为我们得罪了耶和华我们的　神，从我们幼年直到现在，我们和列祖都没有听从耶和华我们的　神的话。”

†[Wlb]我当蒙羞而卧、以耻蔽身、盖我与我列祖、自幼迄今、干犯我上帝耶和华、不从其言、

†[Xdv]我们应该以羞耻作铺，以耻辱作被单。我们跟我们的祖先常常得罪上主──我们的上帝；我们一向不听从他的命令。”

†[Kjv]We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.

†[Nkjv]We lie down in our shame, And our reproach covers us. For we have sinned against the LORD our God, We and our fathers, From our youth even to this day, And have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God."

†[BBE]Let us be stretched on the earth in our downfall, covering ourselves with our shame: for we have been sinners against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our earliest years even till this day: and we have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God.

†[GNT] We should lie down in shame and let our disgrace cover us. We and our ancestors have always sinned against the Lord our God; we have never obeyed his commands."

†[NIV]Let us lie down in our shame, and let our disgrace cover us. We have sinned against the Lord our God, both we and our fathers; from our youth till this day we have not obeyed the Lord our God."

本会注释　　上帝要求完全地认罪，接受惩罚不提出任何藉口，也不要求减轻痛苦。人在痛苦和伤心时常常倒在地上或椅子上（见撒下12:16；13:31；王上21:4），表达沉痛欲绝的情感。
