16:2 You shall not take a wife for yourself nor have sons or daughters in this place.
你在这地方不可娶妻，也不可有儿女。
16:3 For thus says Jehovah concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place and concerning their mothers who bear them and concerning their fathers who beget them in this land:
因为论到在这地方所生的儿女，又论到在这地生养他们的父母，耶和华如此说，
16:4 They will die grievous deaths and will not be mourned or buried; they will be as dung on the surface of the ground and will be consumed by sword and by famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.
16:5 For thus says Jehovah, Do not enter the house of mourning, and do not go to mourn, and do not lament for them, for I have taken away My peace from this people, declares Jehovah, My lovingkindness and compassions.
16:6 Both the great and the small will die in this land; they will not be buried, nor will they be mourned; and no one will cut himself or make himself bald for them.
他们连大带小，都必在这地死亡，不得葬埋；没有人为他们哀哭；也没有人为他们用刀划身，或使头光秃。
16:7 Nor will they break bread for them in mourning to comfort anyone for the dead or give them a cup of consolation to drink for his father or for his mother.
他们有丧事，人必不为他们擘饼，因死人安慰他们；他们丧父丧母，人也不给他们喝一杯安慰酒。
16:8 And you shall not enter the house of feasting to sit with them and eat and drink.
你不可进入宴乐的家，与他们同坐吃喝。
16:9 For thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, I will cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of gladness and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
16:10 And when you tell this people all these words and they say to you, Why has Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? And what is our iniquity? And what is our sin which we have sinned against Jehovah our God?
16:11 Then you shall say to them, Because your fathers forsook Me, declares Jehovah, and went after other gods to serve them and to worship them, but have forsaken Me and have not kept My law.
你就对他们说，耶和华说，因为你们列祖离弃我，随从别神，事奉敬拜；他们离弃了我，没有遵守我的律法。
16:12 And you have done more evil than your fathers; for indeed, you go about, each one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, without listening to Me.
而你们行恶，比你们列祖更甚；你们各人随从自己顽梗的恶心行事，并不听从我。
16:13 And I will cast you far away from this land into a land which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will not show favor to you.
16:14 Therefore indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when it will no longer be said, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
耶和华说，日子将到，人必不再指着那将以色列人从埃及地领上来之永活的耶和华起誓；
16:15 But, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where He had driven them; for I will bring them back to their own land, which I gave to their fathers.
16:16 I am soon sending many fishermen, declares Jehovah, and they will catch them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they will hunt for them from every mountain and from every hill and from the clefts of the rocks.
16:17 For My eyes are upon all their ways; they are not concealed from My face, neither is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.
因我的眼目察看他们的一切道路；他们不能在我面前遮掩，他们的罪孽也不能在我眼前隐藏。
16:18 But first I will recompense double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have profaned My land with the corpses of their detestable things, and their abominations have filled My inheritance.
16:19 O Jehovah, my strength and my stronghold, My refuge in the day of distress; To You the nations come From the ends of the earth and say, Surely our fathers inherited falsehood And vanity, in which there is no profit.
16:20 Shall a man make gods for himself, Though they are no gods?
人岂可为自己制造神呢？其实那些并不是神。
16:21 Therefore now, I am causing them to know; At this time I will cause them to know My hand and My might, And they will know that My name is Jehovah.
