“ Wasn’t it just this sort of thing that your ancestors did that caused our God to bring all this trouble upon us and our city? Now you are bringing even more wrath upon Israel by permitting the Sabbath to be desecrated in this way!”

从前你们列祖岂不是这样行，以致我们神使一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗？现在你们还犯安息日，使忿怒越发临到以色列！”

你们祖先岂不是这样做，以致我们的上帝使一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗？你们竟干犯安息日，使愤怒越发临到以色列！”

你们祖先岂不是这样做，以致我们的神使一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗？你们竟干犯安息日，使愤怒越发临到以色列！”

你们的祖先难道不是犯了这样的罪，以致我们的上帝使一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗？如今你们干犯安息日，使上帝的愤怒更多地临到以色列。”

从前你们的列祖不是这样行，以致我们的神使这一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗？现在你们亵渎安息日，使神的忿怒越发临到以色列。”

從前你們列祖豈不是這樣行，以致我們神使一切災禍臨到我們和這城嗎？現在你們還犯安息日，使忿怒越發臨到以色列！」

你們祖先豈不是這樣做，以致我們的上帝使一切災禍臨到我們和這城嗎？你們竟干犯安息日，使憤怒越發臨到以色列！」

你們祖先豈不是這樣做，以致我們的神使一切災禍臨到我們和這城嗎？你們竟干犯安息日，使憤怒越發臨到以色列！」

你們的祖先難道不是犯了這樣的罪，以致我們的上帝使一切災禍臨到我們和這城嗎？如今你們干犯安息日，使上帝的憤怒更多地臨到以色列。」

從前你們的列祖不是這樣行，以致我們的神使這一切災禍臨到我們和這城嗎？現在你們褻瀆安息日，使神的忿怒越發臨到以色列。”

從前你們列祖豈不是這樣行，以致我們的上帝使這一切災禍臨到我們和這城麼？現在你們還瀆犯着安息日、使上帝的烈怒越發臨到以色列啊！』

昔爾列祖、豈非行是、致我上帝降諸災於我儕、及斯邑乎、爾今又犯安息、使怒及於以色列、尤有甚焉、

昔我列祖行是、上帝降災、罰及我身、殲滅斯邑、爾又犯之、貽禍於以色列族、尤有甚焉。

昔列祖亦如斯行、我天主以此諸災、降於我儕及此城、今爾犯安息日、使以色列人干主怒尤甚、

Didn’t your ancestors do the same things, so that our God brought all this calamity on us and on this city? Now you are stirring up more wrath against Israel by desecrating the Sabbath.”

Your people of long ago did the very same things. That’s why our God has brought all this trouble on us. That’s why he’s making this city suffer so much. Now you are making him even angrier against Israel. You are misusing the Sabbath day.”

Did not your fathers act in this way, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Now you are bringing more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”

Didn’t your ancestors do the same, so that our God brought all this disaster on us and on this city? And now you are rekindling his anger against Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”

Did your fathers not do the same, so that our God brought on us and on this city all this trouble? Yet you are adding to the wrath against Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”

Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”

Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.

Didn’t your ancestors do the same, so that our God brought all this disaster on us and on this city? And now you are rekindling His anger against Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”

Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.

Isn’t this the way your ancestors acted, causing our God to bring on them and on this city all this misfortune? And now you are causing even more wrath on Israel, profaning the Sabbath like this!”

Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us, and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”

This is what the Lord says: Listen to my warning! Stop carrying on your trade at Jerusalem’s gates on the Sabbath day.Do not do your work on the Sabbath, but make it a holy day. I gave this command to your ancestors,but they did not listen or obey. They stubbornly refused to pay attention or accept my discipline.

“ Now we are being punished because of our wickedness and our great guilt. But we have actually been punished far less than we deserve, for you, our God, have allowed some of us to survive as a remnant.But even so, we are again breaking your commands and intermarrying with people who do these detestable things. Won’t your anger be enough to destroy us, so that even this little remnant no longer survives?O Lord, God of Israel, you are just. We come before you in our guilt as nothing but an escaped remnant, though in such a condition none of us can stand in your presence.”

“ And if, in spite of all this, you still disobey me, I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

They will strip you of your beautiful clothes and jewels.

Was our sin at Peor not enough? To this day we are not fully cleansed of it, even after the plague that struck the entire community of the Lord.And yet today you are turning away from following the Lord. If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with all of us tomorrow.

Have you forgotten the sins of your ancestors, the sins of the kings and queens of Judah, and the sins you and your wives committed in Judah and Jerusalem?

For when she left Egypt, she did not leave her spirit of prostitution behind. She was still as lewd as in her youth, when the Egyptians slept with her, fondled her breasts, and used her as a prostitute.

then I will give full vent to my hostility. I myself will punish you seven times over for your sins.

Don’t be like your ancestors who would not listen or pay attention when the earlier prophets said to them,‘ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Turn from your evil ways, and stop all your evil practices.’“ Where are your ancestors now? They and the prophets are long dead.But everything I said through my servants the prophets happened to your ancestors, just as I said. As a result, they repented and said,‘ We have received what we deserved from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. He has done what he said he would do.’”

But here you are, a brood of sinners, doing exactly the same thing! You are making the Lord even angrier with Israel.

“‘ But if you do not listen to me and refuse to keep the Sabbath holy, and if on the Sabbath day you bring loads of merchandise through the gates of Jerusalem just as on other days, then I will set fire to these gates. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out the roaring flames.’”

It was because the Lord could no longer bear all the disgusting things you were doing that he made your land an object of cursing— a desolate ruin without inhabitants— as it is today.
