耶2:1 耶和华的话临到我说：
耶2:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶2:2 “你去向耶路撒冷人的耳中喊叫说，耶和华如此说：‘你幼年的恩爱，婚姻的爱情，你怎样在旷野，在未曾耕种之地跟随我，我都记得。
耶2:2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
耶2:3 那时以色列归耶和华为圣，作为土产初熟的果子，凡吞吃它的必算为有罪，灾祸必临到他们。’”这是耶和华说的。
耶2:3 Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
耶2:4 雅各家、以色列家的各族啊，你们当听耶和华的话。
耶2:4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
耶2:5 耶和华如此说：“你们的列祖见我有什么不义，竟远离我，随从虚无的神，自己成为虚妄的呢？
耶2:5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
耶2:6 他们也不说，那领我们从埃及地上来，引导我们经过旷野、沙漠有深坑之地，和干旱死荫、无人经过、无人居住之地的耶和华在哪里呢？
耶2:6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
耶2:7 我领你们进入肥美之地，使你们得吃其中的果子和美物。但你们进入的时候，就玷污我的地，使我的产业成为可憎的。
耶2:7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
耶2:8 祭司都不说：‘耶和华在哪里呢？’传讲律法的都不认识我，官长违背我，先知藉巴力说预言，随从无益的 神。”
耶2:8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
耶2:9 耶和华说：“我因此必与你们争辩，也必与你们的子孙争辩。
耶2:9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.
耶2:10 你们且过到基提海岛去察看，打发人往基达去留心查考，看曾有这样的事没有？
耶2:10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
耶2:11 岂有一国换了他的 神吗？其实这不是 神！但我的百姓将他们的荣耀换了那无益的 神。
耶2:11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
耶2:12 诸天哪，要因此惊奇，极其恐慌，甚为凄凉！”这是耶和华说的。
耶2:12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
耶2:13 “因为我的百姓做了两件恶事，就是离弃我这活水的泉源，为自己凿出池子，是破裂不能存水的池子。
耶2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
耶2:14 以色列是仆人吗？是家中生的奴仆吗？为何成为掠物呢？
耶2:14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
耶2:15 少壮狮子向他咆哮，大声吼叫，使他的地荒凉；城邑也都焚烧，无人居住。
耶2:15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
耶2:16 挪弗人和答比匿人也打破你的头顶。
耶2:16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
耶2:17 这事临到你身上，不是你自招的吗？不是因耶和华你 神引你行路的时候，你离弃他吗？
耶2:17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
耶2:18 现今你为何在埃及路上要喝西曷的水呢？你为何在亚述路上要喝大河的水呢？
耶2:18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
耶2:19 你自己的恶必惩治你；你背道的事必责备你。由此可知可见，你离弃耶和华你的 神，不存敬畏我的心，乃为恶事，为苦事。”这是主万军之耶和华说的。
耶2:19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
耶2:20 “我在古时折断你的轭，解开你的绳索，你说：‘我必不事奉耶和华。’因为你在各高冈上、各青翠树下屈身行淫。（或作“我在古时折断你的轭，解开你的绳索，你就说：‘我必不事奉别 神。’谁知你在各高冈上、各青翠树下仍屈身行淫。”）。
耶2:20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
耶2:21 然而我栽你是上等的葡萄树，全然是真种子，你怎么向我变为外邦葡萄树的坏枝子呢？
耶2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
耶2:22 你虽用硷、多用肥皂洗濯，你罪孽的痕迹仍然在我面前显出。”这是主耶和华说的。
耶2:22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
耶2:23 你怎能说‘我没有玷污，没有随从众巴力’？你看你谷中的路，就知道你所行的如何。你是快行的独峰驼，狂奔乱走；
耶2:23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
耶2:24 你是野驴惯在旷野，欲心发动就吸风，起性的时候谁能使它转去呢？凡寻找它的必不至疲乏，在它的月份必能寻见。
耶2:24 A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
耶2:25 我说：‘你不要使脚上无鞋，喉咙干渴。’你倒说：‘这是枉然。我喜爱别 神，我必随从他们。’
耶2:25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
耶2:26 贼被捉拿，怎样羞愧，以色列家和他们的君王、首领、祭司、先知也都照样羞愧。
耶2:26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
耶2:27 他们向木头说‘你是我的父’；向石头说‘你是生我的’。他们以背向我，不以面向我，及至遭遇患难的时候却说：‘起来拯救我们！’
耶2:27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
耶2:28 你为自己做的 神在哪里呢？你遭遇患难的时候，叫他们起来拯救你吧！犹大啊，你 神的数目与你城的数目相等。”
耶2:28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
耶2:29 耶和华说：“你们为何与我争辩呢？你们都违背了我。
耶2:29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
耶2:30 我责打你们的儿女是徒然的，他们不受惩治。你们自己的刀吞灭你们的先知，好像残害的狮子。
耶2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
耶2:31 这世代的人哪，你们要看明耶和华的话：我岂向以色列作旷野呢？或作幽暗之地呢？我的百姓为何说‘我们脱离约束，再不归向你了’？
耶2:31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
耶2:32 处女岂能忘记她的妆饰呢？新妇岂能忘记她的美衣呢？我的百姓却忘记了我无数的日子。
耶2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
耶2:33 你怎么修饰你的道路要求爱情呢？就是恶劣的妇人你也叫她们行你的路。
耶2:33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
耶2:34 并且你的衣襟上有无辜穷人的血，你杀他们并不是遇见他们挖窟窿，乃是因这一切的事。
耶2:34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
耶2:35 你还说：‘我无辜，耶和华的怒气必定向我消了。’看哪！我必审问你，因你自说：‘我没有犯罪。’
耶2:35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
耶2:36 你为何东跑西奔，要更换你的路呢？你必因埃及蒙羞，像从前因亚述蒙羞一样。
耶2:36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
耶2:37 你也必两手抱头从埃及出来。因为耶和华已经弃绝你所倚靠的，你必不因他们得顺利。
耶2:37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
