Jer 14:1-22.
英文原文
Jer 14:1-22.
PROPHECIES ON THE OCCASION OF A DROUGHT SENT IN JUDGMENT ON JUDEA.
1. Literally, "That which was the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah concerning the dearth"
drought--literally, the "withholdings," namely, of rain
(De 11:17; 2Ch 7:13).
This word should be used especially of the withholding of rain because rain is in those regions of all things the one chiefly needed
(Jer 17:8,
Margin).

2. 城门——每城的公众聚集之处显得荒凉，因为不再有人在那里出入
(赛 3:26；24:4)。
黑——即他们哀悼（黑色表示悲伤），
(耶 8:21)。
伏于地——俯首至地。
呼号——困苦中的呼号
(撒上 5:12； 赛 24:11)。
英文原文
2. gates--The place of public concourse in each city looks sad, as being no longer frequented
(Isa 3:26; 24:4).
black--that is, they mourn (blackness being indicative of sorrow),
(Jer 8:21).
unto the ground--bowing towards it.
cry--of distress
(1Sa 5:12; Isa 24:11).

3. 小的——更准确说，"他们的下属"，即仆人。
坑——即收集雨水的水池，在没有泉源的东方甚为常见。
蒙……头——
(撒下 15:30)。
是羞辱和哀悼的记号。
英文原文
3. little ones--rather, "their inferiors," that is, domestics.
pits--cisterns for collecting rain water, often met with in the East where there are no springs.
covered . . . heads--
(2Sa 15:30).
A sign of humiliation and mourning.

5. 连畜类也因缺食陷入极度的窘境。"母鹿"以爱护幼崽著称，竟也抛弃了它们。
英文原文
5. The brute creation is reduced to the utmost extremity for the want of food. The "hind," famed for her affection to her young, abandons them.

6. 野驴——它们到最当风的"高处"，"吸"风以解渴。
龙——胡狼[HENDERSON]。
眼——通常在"高处"最能敏锐地发现草或水，行人常凭它们的出现推断附近必有草木和水；但如今"它们的眼目失明"。更当指巨大的蟒蛇，它们将身体的大部分竖成十至十二尺高的柱子，在周围灌木之上察看四周，同时张口吞吸空气。这些巨蛇正是那广泛流传的观念的起源，即以龙或巨蛇的形象来表征洪水和一切毁灭性的力量；因此在亚洲、非洲和英国，龙的庙宇总在近水之处；例如威尔特郡的阿伯里；方舟的象征常与龙相连，作为从洪水中保存生命的象征[KITTO，《圣经百科全书》]。
英文原文
6. wild asses--They repair to "the high places" most exposed to the winds, which they "snuff in" to relieve their thirst.
dragons--jackals [HENDERSON].
eyes--which are usually most keen in detecting grass or water from the "heights," so much so that the traveller guesses from their presence that there must be herbage and water near; but now "their eyes fail." Rather the reference is to the great boas and python serpents which raise a large portion of their body up in a vertical column ten or twelve feet high, to survey the neighborhood above the surrounding bushes, while with open jaws they drink in the air. These giant serpents originated the widely spread notions which typified the deluge and all destructive agents under the form of a dragon or monster serpent; hence, the dragon temples always near water, in Asia, Africa, and Britain; for example, at Abury, in Wiltshire; a symbol of the ark is often associated with the dragon as the preserver from the waters [KITTO, Biblical Cyclopædia].

7. 求你这样行——行我们所求的；介入以消除旱灾。耶利米以他民族的名祈求
(Ps 109:21)。
正如"为我们行事"，绝对用法
(1Sa 14:6)。
为你名的缘故——"因为我们的背道甚多"，我们不能凭我们的行为来恳求你，只能为你名的荣耀；免得你若不帮助我们，人就说那是因你无力
(Jos 7:9； Ps 79:9; 106:8； Isa 48:9； Eze 20:44)。
同样的向神怜悯的呼吁——"为祂名的缘故"——作为我们惟一的盼望，因为我们的罪使我们不能信靠自己，也见于
Ps 25:11。
英文原文
7. do thou it--what we beg of Thee; interpose to remove the drought. Jeremiah pleads in the name of his nation
(Ps 109:21).
So "work for us," absolutely used
(1Sa 14:6).
for thy name's sake--"for our backslidings are so many" that we cannot urge Thee for the sake of our doings, but for the glory of Thy name; lest, if Thou give us not aid, it should be said it was owing to Thy want of power
(Jos 7:9; Ps 79:9; 106:8; Isa 48:9; Eze 20:44).
The same appeal to God's mercy, "for His name's sake," as our only hope, since our sin precludes trust in ourselves, occurs in
Ps 25:11.

无标题
8. 此处所指的，并非几乎已经止息的以色列的信心，而是神的应许和永远的约。惟有真以色列人才以神为他们的"盼望"。
(Jer 17:13)。
turneth aside to tarry（转为暂住）——行路人只在其过夜之地稍作停留，并不在意那地；但你曾应许要永远住在你百姓中间
(2Ch 33:7, 8)。
MAURER 译作"展开"，即他的帐棚。
英文原文
8. The reference is, not to the faith of Israel which had almost ceased, but to the promise and everlasting covenant of God. None but the true Israel make God their "hope."
(Jer 17:13).
turneth aside to tarry--The traveller cares little for the land he tarries but a night in; but Thou hast promised to dwell always in the midst of Thy people
(2Ch 33:7, 8).

他们的罪太大，神必须刑罚他们。

(2Sa 24:12, 13)。
英文原文

(Jer 7:21, 22; Pr 1:28; Isa 1:15; 58:3).

18
无标题
18. go about（往来）——即不得不迁往被掳之地。[HORSLEY]译作"在境内往来作买卖"
(参
Jer 5:31，
旁注；
2Co 4:2; 2Pe 2:3)，
"毫不理会"（即对眼前的苦难毫不顾念）
(Isa 1:3; 58:3)。
若保留希伯来文动词的字面意思，我宁如英文译本，将这些话理解为指被掳到巴比伦；如此，"先知和祭司必不得不到异乡去经营他们的宗教买卖
(Isa 56:11; Eze 34:2, 3; Mic 3:11)。"
英文原文
18. go about--that is, shall have to migrate into a land of exile. HORSLEY translates, "go trafficking about the land (see
Jer 5:31,
Margin;
2Co 4:2; 2Pe 2:3),
and take no knowledge" (that is, pay no regard to the miseries before their eyes)
(Isa 1:3; 58:3).
If the literal sense of the Hebrew verb be retained, I would with English Version understand the words as referring to the exile to Babylon; thus, "the prophet and the priest shall have to go to a strange land to practise their religious traffic
(Isa 56:11; Eze 34:2, 3; Mic 3:11).
19

19. 百姓向神恳求；耶利米则被禁止代求。

21. us（我们）——"你荣耀的宝座"可能是"不厌恶"（"不弃绝"）的宾语；或"锡安"\n (Jer 14:19)。
throne of thy glory（你荣耀的宝座）——耶路撒冷，或圣殿，称为神的"脚凳"和"居所"
(1Ch 28:2; Ps 132:5)。
thy covenant（你的约）——
(Ps 106:45; Da 9:19)。
英文原文
21. us--"the throne of Thy glory" may be the object of "abhor not" ("reject not"); or "Zion"
(Jer 14:19).
throne of thy glory--Jerusalem, or, the temple, called God's "footstool" and "habitation"
(1Ch 28:2; Ps 132:5).

(De 32:21)。
rain（雨）——
(Zec 10:1, 2)。
heavens（天）——即离了神自己
(Mt 5:45; Ac 14:17)；
它们不是第一因，不当如外邦人那样被当作神来拜。择别的"或"支持 [CALVIN] 的解释："连天自己也不能赐雨，何况偶像的虚无之物呢？"
art not thou he（不是你吗）——即你能赐雨的那位？
英文原文
22. vanities--idols
(De 32:21).
rain--
(Zec 10:1, 2).
heavens--namely, of themselves without God
(Mt 5:45; Ac 14:17);
they are not the First Cause, and ought not to be deified, as they were by the heathen. The disjunctive "or" favors CALVIN'S explanation: "Not even the heavens themselves can give rain, much less can the idol vanities."
art not thou he--namely, who canst give rain?
耶 14:1-22。
于犹大地遭遇旱灾作为审判时所发的预言。
1. 字面作："论到饥荒之事，耶和华的话临到耶利米。"
旱灾——字面作"拘禁"，即拘禁雨水
(申 11:17； 代下 7:13)。
这词特别用于雨的拘禁，因为在那些地区，雨是万物之中最为需要的
(耶 17:8， 旁注)。
