Just as at the city of Adam, they disobeyed me, they have broken the covenant I made with them. They were not faithful to me there.

“他们却如亚当背约，在境内向我行事诡诈。

他们却如亚当背约，在那里向我行诡诈。

他们却如亚当背约，在那里向我行诡诈。

可是，你们却如亚当一样背约，以诡诈待我。

可是他们却在亚当城背约，在那里向我行诡诈。

他們卻如亞當背約，在境內向我行事詭詐。

他們卻如亞當背約，在那裏向我行詭詐。

他們卻如亞當背約，在那裏向我行詭詐。

可是，你們卻如亞當一樣背約，以詭詐待我。

可是他們卻在亞當城背約，在那裡向我行詭詐。

然而他們卻在亞當渡越犯了盟約，在那裏以詭詐待我。

彼爽約若他人、而欺罔我、

彼爽約若亞當、居處斯土、違逆乎我、

彼背約若亞當、在其處在其處原文作在彼悖逆我、

As at Adam, they have broken the covenant; they were unfaithful to me there.

But like Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.

But like Adam, you broke my covenant and betrayed my trust.

But they, like Adam, have violated the covenant; there they have betrayed me.

But like Adam they have violated the covenant; There they have dealt treacherously with Me.

“ But like men they transgressed the covenant; There they dealt treacherously with Me.

But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

But they, like Adam, have violated the covenant; there they have betrayed Me.

But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

At Adam they broke the covenant; Oh how they were unfaithful to me!

But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me, there.

The Lord said to me,“ Put a trumpet to your lips! Give a warning to my people! Assyria is like an eagle. It is ready to attack my land. My people have broken the covenant I made with them. They have refused to obey my law.

They are not faithful to the Lord. Their children are not his. When they celebrate their New Moon feasts, he will destroy their fields.

The Lord God said,“ Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten fruit from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?”

I didn’t hide my sin as other people do. I didn’t hide my guilt in my heart.

The woman saw that the tree’s fruit was good to eat and pleasing to look at. She also saw that it would make a person wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her. And he ate it.

The Lord and King says,“ I will punish you in keeping with what you have done. I sealed with a promise the covenant I made with you. You hated that promise. And you broke my covenant.But I will remember my covenant with you. I made it with you when you were young. Now I will make a new covenant with you. It will last forever.Then you will remember how you have lived. You will be ashamed when I give you Samaria and Sodom. Samaria is your older sister. Sodom is your younger one. I will give them and their daughters to you as daughters. That can’t happen based on my old covenant with you.

It will not be like the covenant I made with their people of long ago. That was when I took them by the hand. I led them out of Egypt. My new covenant will be different because they didn’t remain faithful to my old covenant. So I turned away from them, announces the Lord.

It will not be like the covenant I made with their people of long ago. That was when I took them by the hand. I led them out of Egypt. But they broke my covenant. They did it even though I was like a husband to them,” announces the Lord.

They refused to obey his rules. They broke the covenant he had made with them. They didn’t pay any attention to the rules he had warned them to keep. They worshiped worthless statues of gods. Then they themselves became worthless. They followed the example of the nations around them. They did it even though the Lord had ordered them not to. He had said,“ Do not do as they do.”

The earth is polluted by its people. They haven’t obeyed the laws of the Lord. They haven’t done what he told them to do. They’ve broken the covenant that will last forever.

I thought that after they had done all this, they would return to me. But they did not. Their sister nation Judah saw them doing this. And they were not faithful to me either.

You have not heard or understood what I said. Your ears have been plugged up for a long time. I knew very well that you would turn against me. From the day you were born, you have refused to obey me.

From one end of the earth to the other we hear singing. People are saying,“ Give glory to the God who always does what is right.” But I said,“ I feel very bad. I’m getting weaker and weaker. How terrible it is for me! People turn against one another. They can’t be trusted. So they turn against one another.”

The people of Israel and the people of Judah have not been faithful to me at all,” announces the Lord.

Jeremiah, you live among people who tell lies. When they lie, they refuse to pay any attention to me,” announces the Lord.
