为假先知心碎

⁹论到那些先知，我心在我里面忧伤，我骨头都发颤；因耶和华和他的圣言，我像醉酒的人，像被酒所胜的人。As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, and all my bones tremble. I have become like a drunkard, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD, because of His holy words.

¹⁰地满了行淫的人！因妄自赌咒，地就悲哀；旷野的草场都枯干了。他们所行的道乃是恶的；他们的勇力使得不正。For the land is full of adulterers—because of the curse, the land mourns and the pastures of the wilderness have dried up—their course is evil and their power is misused.

¹¹连先知带祭司都是亵渎的，就是在我殿中我也看见他们的恶。这是耶和华说的。“For both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the LORD.

¹²因此，他们的道路必像黑暗中的滑地，他们必被追赶，在这路中仆倒；因为当追讨之年，我必使灾祸临到他们。这是耶和华说的。“Therefore their path will become slick; they will be driven away into the darkness and fall into it. For I will bring disaster upon them in the year of their punishment,” declares the LORD.

撒马利亚和耶路撒冷的先知

¹³我在撒马利亚的先知中曾见愚妄；他们借巴力说预言，使我的百姓以色列走错了路。“Among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.

¹⁴我在耶路撒冷的先知中曾见可憎恶的事；他们行奸淫，做事虚妄，又坚固恶人的手，甚至无人回头离开他的恶。他们在我面前都像所多玛；耶路撒冷的居民都像蛾摩拉。And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: They commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns his back on wickedness. They are all like Sodom to Me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”

¹⁵所以万军之耶和华论到先知如此说：我必将茵蔯给他们吃，又将苦胆水给他们喝；因为亵渎的事出于耶路撒冷的先知，流行遍地。Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says concerning the prophets: “I will feed them wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”

不要听他们的话

¹⁶万军之耶和华如此说：“这些先知向你们说预言，你们不要听他们的话。他们以虚空教训你们，所说的异象是出于自己的心，不是出于耶和华的口。This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.

¹⁷他们常对藐视我的人说：‘耶和华说：你们必享平安’；又对一切按自己顽梗之心而行的人说：‘必没有灾祸临到你们。’”They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’

谁站在耶和华的会中

¹⁸有谁站在耶和华的会中得以听见并会悟他的话呢？有谁留心听他的话呢？But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and obeyed it?

¹⁹看哪！耶和华的忿怒好像暴风，已经发出；是暴烈的旋风，必转到恶人的头上。Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.

²⁰耶和华的怒气必不转消，直到他心中所拟定的成就了。末后的日子你们要全然明白。The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this clearly.

²¹我没有打发那些先知，他们竟自奔跑；我没有对他们说话，他们竟自预言。I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.

²²他们若是站在我的会中，就必使我的百姓听我的话，又使他们回头离开恶道和他们所行的恶。But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds.”

我岂不充满天地

²³耶和华说：“我岂为近处的　神呢？不也为远处的　神吗？”“Am I only a God nearby,” declares the LORD, “and not a God far away?”

²⁴耶和华说：“人岂能在隐密处藏身，使我看不见他呢？”耶和华说：“我岂不充满天地吗？“Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?” declares the LORD. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD.

我做了梦！

²⁵我已听见那些先知所说的，就是托我名说的假预言，他们说：‘我做了梦！我做了梦！’“I have heard the sayings of the prophets who prophesy lies in My name: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’

²⁶说假预言的先知，就是预言本心诡诈的先知，他们这样存心要到几时呢？How long will this continue in the hearts of these prophets who prophesy falsehood, these prophets of the delusion of their own minds?

²⁷他们各人将所做的梦对邻舍述说，想要使我的百姓忘记我的名，正如他们列祖因巴力忘记我的名一样。They suppose the dreams that they tell one another will make My people forget My name, just as their fathers forgot My name through the worship of Baal.

²⁸得梦的先知可以述说那梦；得我话的人可以诚实讲说我的话。糠秕怎能与麦子比较呢？这是耶和华说的。”Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD.

我的话像火、像大锤

²⁹耶和华说：“我的话岂不像火，又像能打碎磐石的大锤吗？”“Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”

³⁰耶和华说：“那些先知各从邻舍偷窃我的言语，因此我必与他们反对。”“Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.”

³¹耶和华说：“那些先知用舌头，说是耶和华说的；我必与他们反对。”“Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’”

³²耶和华说：“那些以幻梦为预言，又述说这梦，以谎言和矜夸使我百姓走错了路的，我必与他们反对。我没有打发他们，也没有吩咐他们。他们与这百姓毫无益处。这是耶和华说的。”“Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD.

耶和华的默示

³³“无论是百姓，是先知，是祭司，问你说：‘耶和华有什么默示呢？’你就对他们说：‘什么默示啊？耶和华说：我要撇弃你们。’“Now when this people or a prophet or priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the LORD?’ you are to say to them, ‘What burden? I will forsake you, declares the LORD.’

³⁴无论是先知，是祭司，是百姓，说‘耶和华的默示’，我必刑罚那人和他的家。As for the prophet or priest or anyone who claims, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ I will punish that man and his household.

³⁵你们各人要对邻舍，各人要对弟兄如此说：‘耶和华回答什么？’‘耶和华说了什么呢？’This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the LORD answered?’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken?’

³⁶‘耶和华的默示’你们不可再提，各人所说的话必作自己的重担（重担和默示原文同），因为你们谬用永生　神、万军之耶和华—我们　神的言语。But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.

³⁷你们要对先知如此说：‘耶和华回答你什么？’‘耶和华说了什么呢？’Thus you are to say to the prophet: ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and ‘What has the LORD spoken?’

³⁸你们若说‘耶和华的默示’，耶和华就如此说：‘因你们说“耶和华的默示”这句话，我也打发人到你们那里去，告诉你们不可说“耶和华的默示”。’But if you claim, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ then this is what the LORD says: Because you have said, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ and I specifically told you not to make this claim,

³⁹所以我必全然忘记你们，将你们和我所赐给你们并你们列祖的城撇弃了；therefore I will surely forget you and will cast you out of My presence, both you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.

⁴⁰又必使永远的凌辱和长久的羞耻临到你们，是不能忘记的。”And I will bring upon you everlasting shame and perpetual humiliation that will never be forgotten.”

两筐无花果

¹巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅和犹大的首领，并工匠、铁匠从耶路撒冷掳去，带到巴比伦。这事以后，耶和华指给我看，有两筐无花果放在耶和华的殿前。After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, as well as the officials of Judah and the craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD.

²一筐是极好的无花果，好像是初熟的；一筐是极坏的无花果，坏得不可吃。One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early, but the other basket contained very poor figs, so bad they could not be eaten.

³于是耶和华问我说：“耶利米你看见什么？”我说：“我看见无花果，好的极好，坏的极坏，坏得不可吃。”“Jeremiah,” the LORD asked, “what do you see?” “Figs!” I replied. “The good figs are very good, but the bad figs are very bad, so bad they cannot be eaten.”

好无花果：被掳的人

⁴耶和华的话临到我说：Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

⁵“耶和华—以色列的　神如此说：被掳去的犹大人，就是我打发离开这地到迦勒底人之地去的，我必看顾他们如这好无花果，使他们得好处。“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, so I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.

⁶我要眷顾他们，使他们得好处，领他们归回这地。我也要建立他们，必不拆毁；栽植他们，并不拔出。I will keep My eyes on them for good and will return them to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.

⁷我要赐他们认识我的心，知道我是耶和华。他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的　神，因为他们要一心归向我。”I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.

坏无花果：西底家和余民

⁸耶和华如此说：“我必将犹大王西底家和他的首领，以及剩在这地耶路撒冷的余民，并住在埃及地的犹大人都交出来，好像那极坏、坏得不可吃的无花果。But like the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the LORD, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem—those remaining in this land and those living in the land of Egypt.

⁹我必使他们交出来，在天下万国中抛来抛去，遭遇灾祸；在我赶逐他们到的各处成为凌辱、笑谈、讥刺、咒诅。I will make them a horror and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing wherever I have banished them.

¹⁰我必使刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫临到他们，直到他们从我所赐给他们和他们列祖之地灭绝。”And I will send against them sword and famine and plague, until they have perished from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’”

问安

¹奉　神旨意，照着在基督耶稣里生命的应许，作基督耶稣使徒的保罗Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

²写信给我亲爱的儿子提摩太。愿恩惠、怜悯、平安从父　神和我们主基督耶稣归与你！To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

想念提摩太的无伪之信

³我感谢　神，就是我接续祖先用清洁的良心所事奉的　神。祈祷的时候，不住的想念你，I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.

⁴记念你的眼泪，昼夜切切地想要见你，好叫我满心快乐。Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.

⁵想到你心里无伪之信，这信是先在你外祖母罗以和你母亲友妮基心里的，我深信也在你的心里。I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.

将恩赐挑旺起来

⁶为此我提醒你，使你将　神借我按手所给你的恩赐再如火挑旺起来。For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

⁷因为　神赐给我们，不是胆怯的心，乃是刚强、仁爱、谨守的心。For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

不要以福音为耻

⁸你不要以给我们的主作见证为耻，也不要以我这为主被囚的为耻；总要按　神的能力，与我为福音同受苦难。So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.

⁹神救了我们，以圣召召我们，不是按我们的行为，乃是按他的旨意和恩典；这恩典是万古之先，在基督耶稣里赐给我们的，He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.

¹⁰但如今借着我们救主基督耶稣的显现才表明出来了。他已经把死废去，借着福音，将不能坏的生命彰显出来。And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,

¹¹我为这福音奉派作传道的，作使徒，作师傅。to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.

¹²为这缘故，我也受这些苦难。然而我不以为耻；因为知道我所信的是谁，也深信他能保全我所交付他的（或译：他所交托我的），直到那日。For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.

守住纯正的话

¹³你从我听的那纯正话语的规模，要用在基督耶稣里的信心和爱心，常常守着。Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴从前所交托你的善道，你要靠着那住在我们里面的圣灵牢牢地守着。Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

离弃的人与忠心的阿尼色弗

¹⁵凡在亚细亚的人都离弃我，这是你知道的，其中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼。You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

¹⁶愿主怜悯阿尼色弗一家的人；因他屡次使我畅快，不以我的锁链为耻，May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.

¹⁷反倒在罗马的时候，殷勤地找我，并且找着了。Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.

¹⁸愿主使他在那日得主的怜悯。他在以弗所怎样多多地服事我，是你明明知道的。May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.
