Jer 19:1-15.
繁體中文
英文原文
Jer 19:1-15.
THE DESOLATION OF THE JEWS FOR THEIR SINS FORETOLD IN THE VALLEY OF HINNOM; THE SYMBOL OF BREAKING A BOTTLE.
Referred by MAURER, &c., to the beginning of Zedekiah's reign.
1. bottle--Hebrew, bakuk, so called from the gurgling sound which it makes when being emptied.
ancients--elders. As witnesses of the symbolic action
(Jer 19:10; Isa 8:1, 2),
that the Jews might not afterwards plead ignorance of the prophecy. The seventy-two elders, composing the Sanhedrim, or Great Council, were taken partly from "the priests," partly from the other tribes, that is, "the people," the former presiding over spiritual matters, the latter over civil; the seventy-two represented the whole people.

2. 欣嫩子谷——或作陀斐特，在耶路撒冷以南，那裏獻人為祭，使兒女經火，以尊崇摩洛。
東門——旁註作「日門」，因日出在東方。MAURER 譯作「窯匠門」。由此可通向欣嫩子谷
（Jos 15:8）。
那裏的窯匠製造鄰近聖殿所用的器皿（比較
Jer 19:10, 14； Jer 18:2； Zec 11:13）。
即「朝東的水門」
（Ne 3:26; 12:37）；
因汲淪溪而得名。CALVIN 的翻譯，與《英文譯本》及旁註相同。「在如此顯眼之處將律法踐踏在腳下，實為可怕的悖逆——太陽每日在此升起，原是要提醒他們神律法之光。」
英文原文
2. valley of the son of Hinnom--or Tophet, south of Jerusalem, where human victims were offered, and children made to pass through the fire, in honor of Molech.
east gate--Margin, "sun gate," sunrise being in the east. MAURER translates, the "potter's gate." Through it lay the road to the valley of Hinnom
(Jos 15:8).
The potters there formed vessels for the use of the temple, which was close by (compare
Jer 19:10, 14; Jer 18:2; Zec 11:13).
The same as "the water gate toward the east"
(Ne 3:26; 12:37);
so called from the brook Kedron. CALVIN translates, as English Version and Margin. "It was monstrous perversity to tread the law under foot in so conspicuous a place, over which the sun daily rising reminded them of the light of God's law."

3. 他們犯罪的地點被選為向他們宣告審判的地點。
君王——王與王后
（Jer 13:18）；
或包括王手下的謀士與官長。
耳鳴——如被雷聲所擊
（1Sa 3:11； 2Ki 21:12）。
英文原文
3. The scene of their guilt is chosen as the scene of the denunciation against them.
kings--the king and queen
(Jer 13:18);
or including the king's counsellors and governors under him.
tingle--as if struck by a thunder peal
(1Sa 3:11; 2Ki 21:12).

4.
(賽 65:11)。
使這地方被疏遠——將其奉獻給陌生神的敬拜：將聖城的一部分從神——聖殿、城與全地的合法之主——那裏轉移開。
他們列祖——即他們中間敬虔的人；至於他們不敬虔的祖宗，神不予計算。
無辜人的血——為尊榮摩洛而流的
(耶 7:31； 詩 106:37)。
英文原文
4.
(Isa 65:11).
estranged this place--devoted it to the worship of strange gods: alienating a portion of the sacred city from God, the rightful Lord of the temple, city, and whole land.
nor their fathers--namely, the godly among them; their ungodly fathers God makes no account of.
blood of innocents--slain in honor of Molech
(Jer 7:31; Ps 106:37).

5. 並未吩咐——不，更進一步說，我所吩咐的恰恰相反（Le 18:21；參見 Jer 7:31、32）。

(Le 18:21;
see
Jer 7:31, 32).

6. 不再……陀斐特——源於希伯來文 toph，即「鼓」；因在將孩童獻為祭物給摩洛時，要擊鼓以掩蓋他們的哭號聲。因此，這名稱表明百姓以為藉此祭物平息了神明的怒氣而有的歡樂；與其後來那毫無歡樂可言的名稱恰成對照。
殺戮谷——此處將成為殺戮之所，被殺的不再是孩童，而是成人；不再是「無辜的人」（Jer 19:4），而是那些罪有應得之人。要攻打該城，必先佔據欣嫩谷，因那裡有惟一的泉源：故此在那裡爆發了激烈的爭戰。
英文原文
6. no more . . . Tophet--from Hebrew, toph, "drum"; for in sacrificing children to Molech drums were beaten to drown their cries. Thus the name indicated the joy of the people at the fancied propitiation of the god by this sacrifice; in antithesis to its joyless name subsequently.
valley of slaughter--It should be the scene of slaughter, no longer of children, but of men; not of "innocents"
(Jer 19:4),
but of those who richly deserved their fate. The city could not be assailed without first occupying the valley of Hinnom, in which was the only fountain: hence arose the violent battle there.

7. 使……計謀落空——挫敗他們抵禦仇敵的計畫（2Ch 32:1-4；Isa 19:3；22:9、11）。或指他們藉求助於偶像以求幫助的圖謀〔CALVIN〕。
在這地方——欣嫩谷將成為迦勒底人紮營之所；他們指望從偶像得幫助的那個地方，正是他們自己被殺戮之處。
英文原文
7. make void the counsel--defeat their plans for repelling the enemy
(2Ch 32:1-4; Isa 19:3; 22:9, 11).
Or their schemes of getting help by having recourse to idols [CALVIN].
in this place--The valley of Hinnom was to be the place of the Chaldean encampment; the very place where they looked for help from idols was to be the scene of their own slaughter.

11. 如人打碎窯匠的器皿——表達神絕對的主權（Jer 18:6；Ps 2:9；Isa 30:14《邊註》；La 4:2；Ro 9:20、21）。
不能再造——打碎的窯匠器皿無法復原，但可用同樣的泥土另造一個新的。照樣，神興起了新的猶太苗裔——並非與那被毀滅的叛民相同，而是以另一代取代他們的位置〔GROTIUS〕。
無處葬埋——（Jer 7:32）。
英文原文
11. as one breaketh a potter's vessel--expressing God's absolute sovereignty
(Jer 18:6; Ps 2:9; Isa 30:14,
Margin;
La 4:2; Ro 9:20, 21).
cannot be made whole again--A broken potter's vessel cannot be restored, but a new one may be made of the same material. So God raised a new Jewish seed, not identical with the destroyed rebels, but by substituting another generation in their stead [GROTIUS].
no place to bury--
(Jer 7:32).

13. 必被玷污——因屍首
(Jer 19:12；2Ki 23:10)。
因各房屋——更恰當的譯法是（解釋前文「房屋……與……房屋」）：「甚至各房屋」等〔CALVIN〕。
房頂——因是平的，被用作向日月星辰獻祭的高處
(Jer 32:29；2Ki 23:11, 12； Zep 1:5)。
據 STRABO 所言，死海以東與以南的拿巴提人——一個對猶太人極為友善的民族——也有同樣的習俗。
英文原文
13. shall be defiled--with dead bodies
(Jer 19:12; 2Ki 23:10).
because of all the houses--Rather, (explanatory of the previous "the houses . . . and . . . houses"), "even all the houses," &c. [CALVIN].
roofs--being flat, they were used as high places for sacrifices to the sun and planets
(Jer 32:29; 2Ki 23:11, 12; Zep 1:5).
The Nabateans, south and east of the Dead Sea, a nation most friendly to the Jews, according to STRABO, had the same usage.

Jer 19:1-15.
在欣嫩子谷預言猶太人因罪將受的荒涼；以打碎瓶子為象徵
MAURER 等將此段定於西底家作王之初。
1. 瓶——《希伯來文》bakuk，因倒空時所發出的咕嚕聲而得名。
長老——即 elders。作為象徵行動的見證人
（Jer 19:10； Isa 8:1, 2），
使猶太人事後不能以不知道這預言為藉口。組成公會（Sanhedrim，即大議會）的七十二位長老，部分來自「祭司」，部分來自其他支派，即「百姓」；前者主管屬靈事務，後者主管民事；這七十二人代表全體百姓。
