| 1上主有话传给耶肋米亚说： | 1The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying: |
| 2「起来，下到陶工家里去，在那里我要让你听到我的话。」 | 2Arise, and go down into the potter's house, and there thou shalt hear my words. |
| 3我便下到陶工家里，见他正在轮盘上工作。 | 3And I went down into the potter's house, and behold he was doing a work on the wheel. |
| 4陶工用泥做的器皿，若在他手中坏了，他便再做，或另做成一个器皿，全随陶工的意思去做。 | 4And the vessel was broken which he was making of clay with his hands: and turning he made another vessel, as it seemed good in his eyes to make it. |
| 5于是上主的话传给我说： | 5Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: |
| 6「以色列家！我岂不能像这陶工一样对待你们？──上主的断语──以色列家！看，你们在我手中，就像泥土在陶工手中一样。 | 6Cannot I do with you, as this potter, O house of Israel, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. |
| 7我一时可对一个民族，或一个国家，决意要拔除，要毁坏，要消灭； | 7I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it. |
| 8但是我要打击的民族，若离弃自己的邪恶，我也反悔，不再给她降原定的灾祸。 | 8If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them. |
| 9或者，我一时想对一个民族或一个国家，决意要建设，要栽培， | 9And I will suddenly speak of a nation and of a kingdom, to build up and plant it. |
| 10但若她行我不喜欢的事，不听从我的声音，我也要反悔，不再给她所许过的恩惠。 | 10If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice: I will repent of the good that I have spoken to do unto it. |
| 11现在你可告诉犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说：上主这样说：看，我已给你们安排了灾祸，定了惩罚你们的计划，希望你们每人离弃自己的邪道，改善自己的途径和作为。」 | 11Now therefore tell the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good. |
| 12他们反倒答说：「已没有希望了！因为我们愿随从自己的计谋，各按自己顽固的恶意行事。」 | 12And they said: We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart. |
| 13为此上主这样说：「你们可到各民族去询问：有谁听到了像这样的事？以色列处女做出了极可憎的事。 | 13Therefore thus saith the Lord: Ask among the nations: Who hath heard such horrible things, as the virgin of Israel hath done to excess? |
| 14黎巴嫩山巅的巖石岂能缺少积雪？丛山间涌流的冰泉，岂能涸竭？ | 14Shall the snow of Libanus fail from the rock of the field? or can the cold waters that gush out and run down, be taken away? |
| 15但我的人民却忘掉了我，向『虚无』献香，滑出了自己的正道，离开旧日的行径，而走上了小道，不平坦的路， | 15Because my people have forgotten me, sacrificing in vain, and stumbling in their ways, in ancient paths, to walk by them in a way not trodden: |
| 16使自己的地域变为惊愕的原因，取笑的目标；凡经过这地方的人，莫不惊异摇首。 | 16That their land might be given up to desolation, and to a perpetual hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and wag his head. |
| 17我必像一阵东风在敌人面前将他们吹散；在他们灭亡之日，我必使他们只见我背，不见我面。」 | 17As a burning will I scatter them before the enemy: I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their destruction. |
| 18他们说：「来，我们合谋陷害耶肋米亚！因为没有司祭，法律不会因此废止；没有智者，计谋不会因此缺乏；没有先知，神谕不会因此断绝。来，我们用舌头抨击他，不注意他的一切劝告。」 | 18And they said: Come, and let us invent devices against Jeremias: for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet: come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us give no heed to all his words. |
| 19上主，愿你俯听我，请听我敌人的声明。 | 19Give heed to me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my adversaries. |
| 20难道该以怨报德吗？他们竟掘下陷阱来陷害我的性命！望你记忆：我曾站在你面前为他们求情，替他们挽回你的盛怒。 | 20Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul? Remember that I have stood in thy sight, so speak good for them, and turn away thy indignation from them. |
| 21为此，你应使他们的子孙遭受饥荒，任人屠杀；使他们的妇女丧子居寡，使他们的男人死于瘟疫，使他们的青年在战场上死于刀下。 | 21Therefore deliver up their children to famine, and bring them into the hands of the sword: let their wives be bereaved of children and widows: and let their husbands be slain by death: let their young men be stabbed with the sword in battle. |
| 22当你引匪队突袭他们时，愿从他们的屋里可听到哭声，因为他们掘了陷阱捕捉我，在我脚下设下罗网。 | 22Let a cry be heard out of their houses: for thou shalt bring the robber upon them suddenly: because they have digged a pit to take me, and have hid snares for my feet. |
| 23至于你，上主，你知道他们对我的一切计划是要杀害我；请你不要宽恕他们的过恶，不要由你面前抹去他们的罪过，务使他们倒仆在你面前；在你发怒时，求你报复他们。 | 23But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death: forgive not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight: let them be overthrown before thy eyes, in the time of thy wrath do thou destroy them. |
