原来陀斐特又深又宽,早已为王豫备好了,其中堆的是火,与许多木柴。耶和华的气如一股硫磺火,使他着起来。
For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
耶和华的话临到耶利米说,
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
故此,耶和华说,我的仆人雅各阿,不要惧怕。以色列阿,不要惊惶。因我要从远方拯救你,从被掳到之地拯救你的后裔。雅各必回来得享平靖安逸,无人使他害怕。
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
因我与你同在,要拯救你,也要将所赶散你到的那些国灭绝净尽,却不将你灭绝净尽,倒要从宽惩治你,万不能不罚你(不罚你或作以你为无罪)。这是耶和华说的。
For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
你为何因损伤哀号呢。你的痛苦无法医治。我因你的罪孽甚大,罪恶众多,曾将这些加在你身上。
Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
你们要作我的子民,我要作你们的神。
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
看哪,耶和华的忿怒好像暴风已经发出。是扫灭的暴风,必转到恶人的头上。
Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
耶和华的烈怒必不转消,直到他心中所拟定的成就了。末后的日子你们要明白。
The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
我必使江河乾涸,将地卖在恶人的手中。我必藉外邦人的手,使这地和其中所有的变为凄凉。这是我耶和华说的。
And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
主耶和华如此说,我必毁灭偶像,从挪弗除灭神像。必不再有君王出自埃及地。我要使埃及地的人惧怕。
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
