学习行善。寻求公平,解救受欺压的,给孤儿伸冤,为寡妇辨屈。
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
耶和华说,你们来,我们彼此辩论。你们的罪虽像朱红,必变成雪白。虽红如丹颜,必白如羊毛。
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
你们若甘心听从,必吃地上的美物。
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
若不听从,反倒悖逆,必被刀剑吞灭。这是耶和华亲口说的。
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
你的银子,变为渣滓,你的酒,用水搀对。
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
你的官长居心悖逆,与盗贼作伴。各都喜爱贿赂,追求赃私。他们不为孤儿伸冤,寡妇的案件,也不得呈到他们面前。
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
我必反手加在你身上,炼尽你的渣滓,除尽你的杂质。
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
但悖逆的,和犯罪的,必一同败亡,离弃耶和华的,必致消灭。
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
那等人必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧,你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞。
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
从犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬在位的时候,直到犹大王约西亚的儿子西底家在位的末年,就是十一年五月间耶路撒冷人被掳的时候,耶和华的话也常临到耶利米。
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
