耶14:1 耶和华的话临到耶利米，是关于旱灾的事：
耶14:1 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah when there was no water.
耶14:2 “犹大悲哀，她的城镇（“城镇”原文作“城门”）衰落，人人都坐在地上悲伤痛哭；耶路撒冷的哀声上达于天。
耶14:2 Judah is weeping and its doors are dark with sorrow, and people are seated on the earth clothed in black; and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
耶14:3 他们的显贵差派童仆去打水；童仆来到池边，却找不到水，就拿着空的器皿回来；他们失望难过，蒙着自己的头。
耶14:3 Their great men have sent their servants for water: they come to the holes and there is no water to be seen; they come back with nothing in their vessels; they are overcome with shame and fear, covering their heads.
耶14:4 土地干裂，因为地上没有雨水；农夫失望，都蒙着自己的头。
耶14:4 Those who do work on the land are in fear, for there has been no rain on the land, and the farmers are shamed, covering their heads.
耶14:5 甚至母鹿在田野生产了小鹿，也得把牠丢弃，因为没有青草。
耶14:5 And the roe, giving birth in the field, lets her young one be uncared for, because there is no grass.
耶14:6 野驴站在光秃的高冈上，像野狗喘着气；牠们双目发呆，因为没有青草。”
耶14:6 And the asses of the field on the open hilltops are opening their mouths wide like jackals to get air; their eyes are hollow because there is no grass.
耶14:7 “耶和华啊！即使我们的罪孽指证我们，还求你因你名的缘故施行拯救。我们实在多次背道，得罪了你。
耶14:7 Though our sins give witness against us, do something, O Lord, for the honour of your name: for again and again we have been turned away from you, we have done evil against you.
耶14:8 以色列的盼望啊！以色列遭难时的拯救者啊！你为什么在本地像一个寄居的人，又像个只住宿一夜的旅客呢？
耶14:8 O you hope of Israel, its saviour in time of trouble, why are you like one who is strange in the land, and like a traveller putting up his tent for a night?
耶14:9 你为什么像个受惊的人，又像个不能拯救人的勇士呢？耶和华啊！你是在我们中间，我们是称为你名下的人，求你不要离弃我们。”
耶14:9 Why are you like a man surprised, like a man of war who is not able to give help? but you, O Lord, are with us, and we are named by your name; do not go away from us.
耶14:10 耶和华论到这人民这样说：“他们喜爱这样流荡，不约束自己的脚；因此耶和华不悦纳他们，现在就要记念他们的罪孽，并要惩罚他们的罪恶。”
耶14:10 This is what the Lord has said about this people: Even so they have been glad to go from the right way; they have not kept their feet from wandering, so the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep their wrongdoing in mind and send punishment for their sins.
耶14:11 耶和华对我说：“不要为这人民祈求好处；
耶14:11 And the Lord said to me, Make no prayer for this people for their good.
耶14:12 即使他们禁食，我也不会听他们的呼求；即使他们献上燔祭和素祭，我也不会悦纳；我却要用刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫去灭尽他们。”
耶14:12 When they go without food, I will not give ear to their cry; when they give burned offerings and meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: but I will put an end to them by the sword and by need of food and by disease.
耶14:13 我就说：“唉，主耶和华啊！你看，那些先知常对他们说：‘你们必不会看见刀剑，也必不会有饥荒；因为我耶和华要在这地方赐给你们恒久的平安。’”
耶14:13 Then I said, Ah, Lord God! see, the prophets say to them, You will not see the sword or be short of food; but I will give you certain peace in this place.
耶14:14 耶和华对我说：“那些先知借我的名说假预言；我并没有差遣他们，没有吩咐他们，也没有向他们说话。他们对你们所预言的，是虚假的异象、占卜的预兆、虚无的事，和他们自己心里的诡诈。”
耶14:14 Then the Lord said to me, The prophets say false words in my name, and I gave them no orders, and I said nothing to them: what they say to you is a false vision and wonder-working words without substance, the deceit of their hearts.
耶14:15 因此，耶和华这样说：“关于那些借我名说预言的先知，我并没有差遣他们，他们竟说：‘这地必不会有刀剑和饥荒。’那些先知必被刀剑和饥荒灭绝。
耶14:15 So this is what the Lord has said about the prophets who make use of my name, though I sent them not, and say, The sword and need of food will not be in this land: the sword and need of food will put an end to those prophets.
耶14:16 至于那些听他们说预言的人民，必因刀剑和饥荒被抛弃在耶路撒冷的街上，没有人埋葬他们，也没有人埋葬他们的妻子和儿女。我必要把他们作恶应得的报应倒在他们身上。
耶14:16 And the people to whom they are prophets will be pushed out dead into the streets of Jerusalem, because there is no food, and because of the sword; and they will have no one to put their bodies into the earth, them or their wives or their sons or their daughters: for I will let loose their evil-doing on them.
耶14:17 “你要对他们说这话：‘愿我的眼泪直流，日夜不停；因为我的同胞（“同胞”原文作“人民的处女”）遭受极大的毁灭，受到很严重的打击。
耶14:17 And you are to say this word to them, Let my eyes be streaming with water night and day, and let it not be stopped; for the virgin daughter of my people is wounded with a great wound, with a very bitter blow.
耶14:18 如果我出到田间，就看见那些被刀剑所杀的人；如果我走进城里，就看见因饥荒而来的各种疾病。连先知和祭司也流亡到他们素不认识的地方。’”
耶14:18 If I go out into the open country, there are those put to death by the sword! and if I go into the town, there are those who are diseased from need of food! for the prophet and the priest go about in the land and have no knowledge.
耶14:19 你真的弃绝犹大吗？你真的讨厌锡安吗？你为什么击打我们，使我们无法医治呢？我们期待平安，却得不到好处；期待得医治的时候，不料，只有惊慌。
耶14:19 Have you completely given up Judah? is your soul turned in disgust from Zion? why have you given us blows from which there is no one to make us well? we were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there was only a great fear.
耶14:20 耶和华啊！我们承认我们的罪恶，和我们列祖的罪孽；我们实在得罪了你。
耶14:20 We are conscious, O Lord, of our sin and of the wrongdoing of our fathers: we have done evil against you.
耶14:21 求你为你名的缘故，不要厌弃我们！不要叫你荣耀的宝座蒙羞！求你记念你和我们所立的约，不要废除！
耶14:21 Do not be turned from us in disgust, because of your name; do not put shame on the seat of your glory: keep us in mind, let not your agreement with us be broken.
耶14:22 列国虚无的偶像中，有可以降雨的吗？天能自降甘霖吗？耶和华我们的 神啊！能够这样作的，不是只有你吗？所以我们仰望你，因为这一切都是你所作的。
耶14:22 Are any of the false gods of the nations able to make rain come? are the heavens able to give showers? are you not he, O Lord our God? so we will go on waiting for you, for you have done all these things.
