第29章

1 尼布甲尼撒擄諸長老、祭司、先知、庶民、自耶路撒冷、至巴比倫、亦擄約雅斤王與后、以及宦豎、曁猶大耶路撒冷方伯、木工鐵工、自耶路撒冷去、時猶大王西底家、使沙番子以利亞薩、希勒家子其馬哩、往巴比倫、覲尼布甲尼撒王、先知耶利米託彼、寄書一函、自耶路撒冷達被擄之人、書曰、

2 併於上節

3 併於上節

4 萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華、告諸俘囚、惟爾俘囚、旣遭遷徙、自耶路撒冷、至巴比倫、我使之然。

5 汝當建屋以棲身、栽園而食果、

6 娶妻室、育子女、子則娶媳、女則適人、可生子孫、以致蕃衍、其數不減。

7 予俾爾爲俘囚、至於斯邑、汝當求予、錫斯邑以平康、蓋斯邑綏安、爾亦得享。

8 萬有之主、以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、勿爲爾中之先知、及卜筮所惑、占夢之言、亦勿聽從我。

9 我耶和華未嘗遣彼、彼藉我名、所言誕妄。

10 耶和華曰、爾居巴比倫、歷七十年、厥後我眷顧爾、應我所許、使爾得歸故土、

11 耶和華又云、予待爾將若何、予自知之、欲錫平康、不加災害、終有可望。

12 爾禱告予、當祈求不輟、我必俯聞、

13 倘爾一心求予、則必可得。

14 耶和華又曰、我左右爾、返爾俘囚、昔我驅爾於列國、散爾於四方、後必撫集之、俾歸故土。

15 爾旣曰、耶和華在巴比倫、振興先知、以訓迪予、

16 凡繼大闢爲王、與斯邑之居民、未被俘囚者、

17 萬有之主耶和華曾言之、曰、我必罰之、戮以鋒刃、降以饑饉、斃以疫癘、視若劣果、不堪適口。

18 旣以斯三者降罰其身、又必徙於天下萬邦、受人咒詛、不勝駭異、爲人凌侮、時聞怨聲、

19 我數遣僕先知、訓迪有衆、惟彼不聽我言、與爾無異、故我罰之若此。

20 自耶路撒冷至巴比倫、爲我所遷徙、使爲俘囚者、宜聽我言。

21 我萬有之主、以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、有哥賴亞子亞哈、馬西雅子西底家、藉我名以惑衆、我必付之於巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒手、俾就殺戮、爾目覩焉。

22 厥後猶大之民、俘囚於巴比倫者、凡咒詛必指斯二人爲口實、曰、願耶和華使予敵人、若西底家亞哈、爲巴比倫王炙之以火。

23 因彼作惡於以色列族、淫人婦女、又藉我名、誘惑民人、違予所命、我耶和華鑒察之矣。

24 當告尼希蘭人示罵雅云、

25 萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華云、爾曾書達耶路撒冷居民、與馬西雅子祭司西番雅及衆祭司、書曰、

26 耶和華俾爾爲祭司、以代約何耶大、兼在耶和華殿爲督、凡狂妄者流、自稱爲先知、俾爾執之、囚之於獄、加以桎梏。

27 今亞拿突人耶利米、自稱爲先知、爾曷弗督責焉。

28 蓋耶利米曾致書至巴比倫、告予曰、時日尚久、當建室以棲身、栽園而食果。

29 祭司西番雅、於先知耶利米前、展讀是書。

30 耶和華諭耶利米曰、

31 爾當致書、告諸俘囚者曰、尼希蘭人示罵雅、予耶和華未之遣也、彼傳言以惑衆、

32 故我云、必罰之、爰及苗裔、彼使人違我、故我錫福於斯民、彼不得享、彼之子孫、必絕滅於民間。

Chapter 29

1 Now these428 are the words1697 of the letter5612 that834 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 sent7971 from Jerusalem4480 3389 unto413 the residue3499 of the elders2205 which were carried away captives,1473 and to413 the priests,3548 and to413 the prophets,5030 and to413 all3605 the people5971 whom834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 had carried away captive1540 from Jerusalem4480 3389 to Babylon;894

2 (After that310 Jeconiah3204 the king,4428 and the queen,1377 and the eunuchs,5631 the princes8269 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 and the carpenters,2796 and the smiths,4525 were departed3318 from Jerusalem;)4480 3389

3 By the hand3027 of Elasah501 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 and Gemariah1587 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 (whom834 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 sent7971 unto Babylon894 to413 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon)894 saying,559

4 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 unto all3605 that are carried away captives,1473 whom834 I have caused to be carried away1540 from Jerusalem4480 3389 unto Babylon;894

5 Build1129 ye houses,1004 and dwell3427 in them; and plant5193 gardens,1593 and eat398 853 the fruit6529 of them;

6 Take3947 ye wives,802 and beget3205 sons1121 and daughters;1323 and take3947 wives802 for your sons,1121 and give5414 your daughters1323 to husbands,376 that they may bear3205 sons1121 and daughters;1323 that ye may be increased7235 there,8033 and not408 diminished.4591

7 And seek1875 853 the peace7965 of the city5892 whither834 8033 I have caused you to be carried away captives,1540 and pray6419 unto413 the LORD3068 for1157 it: for3588 in the peace7965 thereof shall ye have1961 peace.7965

8 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Let not408 your prophets5030 and your diviners,7080 that834 be in the midst7130 of you, deceive5377 you, neither408 hearken8085 to413 your dreams2472 which834 ye859 cause to be dreamed.2492

9 For3588 they1992 prophesy5012 falsely8267 unto you in my name:8034 I have not3808 sent7971 them, saith5002 the LORD.3068

10 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 That3588 after6310 seventy7657 years8141 be accomplished4390 at Babylon894 I will visit6485 you, and perform6965 853 my good2896 word1697 toward5921 you, in causing you to return7725 853 to413 this2088 place.4725

11 For3588 I595 know3045 853 the thoughts4284 that834 I595 think2803 toward5921 you, saith5002 the LORD,3068 thoughts4284 of peace,7965 and not3808 of evil,7451 to give5414 you an expected8615 end.319

12 Then shall ye call upon7121 me, and ye shall go1980 and pray6419 unto413 me, and I will hearken8085 unto413 you.

13 And ye shall seek1245 me, and find4672 me, when3588 ye shall search for1875 me with all3605 your heart.3824

14 And I will be found4672 of you, saith5002 the LORD:3068 and I will turn away7725 853 your captivity,7622 and I will gather6908 you from all4480 3605 the nations,1471 and from all4480 3605 the places4725 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 you, saith5002 the LORD;3068 and I will bring you again7725 853 into413 the place4725 whence834 4480 8033 I caused you to be carried away captive.1540

15 Because3588 ye have said,559 The LORD3068 hath raised us up6965 prophets5030 in Babylon;894

16 Know that3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of413 the king4428 that sitteth3427 upon413 the throne3678 of David,1732 and of413 all3605 the people5971 that dwelleth3427 in this2063 city,5892 and of your brethren251 that834 are not3808 gone forth3318 with854 you into captivity;1473

17 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold,2009 I will send7971 upon them853 the sword,2719 853 the famine,7458 and the pestilence,1698 and will make5414 them like vile8182 figs,8384 that834 cannot3808 be eaten,398 they are so evil.4480 7455

18 And I will persecute7291 310 them with the sword,2719 with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 and will deliver5414 them to be removed2189 to all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth,776 to be a curse,423 and an astonishment,8047 and a hissing,8322 and a reproach,2781 among all3605 the nations1471 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 them:

19 Because8478 834 they have not3808 hearkened8085 to413 my words,1697 saith5002 the LORD,3068 which834 I sent7971 unto413 them by853 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 rising up early7925 and sending7971 them; but ye would not3808 hear,8085 saith5002 the LORD.3068

20 Hear8085 ye859 therefore the word1697 of the LORD,3068 all3605 ye of the captivity,1473 whom834 I have sent7971 from Jerusalem4480 3389 to Babylon: 894

21 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 of413 Ahab256 the son1121 of Kolaiah,6964 and of413 Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Maaseiah,4641 which prophesy5012 a lie8267 unto you in my name;8034 Behold,2009 I will deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon;894 and he shall slay5221 them before your eyes;5869

22 And of4480 them shall be taken up3947 a curse7045 by all3605 the captivity1546 of Judah3063 which834 are in Babylon,894 saying,559 The LORD3068 make7760 thee like Zedekiah6667 and like Ahab,256 whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 roasted7033 in the fire;784

23 Because3282 834 they have committed6213 villainy5039 in Israel,3478 and have committed adultery5003 with854 their neighbors'7453 wives,802 and have spoken1696 lying8267 words1697 in my name,8034 which834 I have not3808 commanded6680 them; even I595 know,3045 and am a witness,5707 saith5002 the LORD.3068

24 Thus shalt thou also speak559 to413 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite,5161 saying,559

25 Thus3541 speaketh559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Because3282 834 thou859 hast sent7971 letters5612 in thy name8034 unto413 all3605 the people5971 that834 are at Jerusalem,3389 and to413 Zephaniah6846 the son1121 of Maaseiah4641 the priest,3548 and to413 all3605 the priests,3548 saying,559

26 The LORD3068 hath made5414 thee priest3548 in the stead of8478 Jehoiada3077 the priest,3548 that ye should be1961 officers6496 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 for every3605 man376 that is mad,7696 and maketh himself a prophet,5012 that thou shouldest put5414 him in413 prison,4115 and in413 the stocks.6729

27 Now6258 therefore why4100 hast thou not3808 reproved1605 Jeremiah3414 of Anathoth,6069 which maketh himself a prophet5012 to you?

28 For3588 therefore5921 3651 he sent7971 unto413 us in Babylon,894 saying,559 This1931 captivity is long:752 build1129 ye houses,1004 and dwell3427 in them; and plant5193 gardens,1593 and eat398 853 the fruit6529 of them.

29 And Zephaniah6846 the priest3548 read7121 853 this2088 letter5612 in the ears241 of Jeremiah3414 the prophet.5030

30 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559

31 Send7971 to5921 all3605 them of the captivity,1473 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning413 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite;5161 Because3283 834 that Shemaiah8098 hath prophesied5012 unto you, and I589 sent7971 him not,3808 and he caused you to trust982 853 in5921 a lie: 8267

32 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will punish6485 5921 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite,5161 and his seed:2233 he shall not3808 have1961 a man376 to dwell3427 among8432 this2088 people;5971 neither3808 shall he behold7200 the good2896 that834 I589 will do6213 for my people,5971 saith5002 the LORD;3068 because3588 he hath taught1696 rebellion5627 against5921 the LORD.3068

Chapter 29

1 尼布甲尼撒擄諸長老、祭司、先知、庶民、自耶路撒冷、至巴比倫、亦擄約雅斤王與后、以及宦豎、曁猶大耶路撒冷方伯、木工鐵工、自耶路撒冷去、時猶大王西底家、使沙番子以利亞薩、希勒家子其馬哩、往巴比倫、覲尼布甲尼撒王、先知耶利米託彼、寄書一函、自耶路撒冷達被擄之人、書曰、

1 Now these428 are the words1697 of the letter5612 that834 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 sent7971 from Jerusalem4480 3389 unto413 the residue3499 of the elders2205 which were carried away captives,1473 and to413 the priests,3548 and to413 the prophets,5030 and to413 all3605 the people5971 whom834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 had carried away captive1540 from Jerusalem4480 3389 to Babylon;894

2 (After that310 Jeconiah3204 the king,4428 and the queen,1377 and the eunuchs,5631 the princes8269 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 and the carpenters,2796 and the smiths,4525 were departed3318 from Jerusalem;)4480 3389

3 併於上節

3 By the hand3027 of Elasah501 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 and Gemariah1587 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 (whom834 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 sent7971 unto Babylon894 to413 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon)894 saying,559

4 萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華、告諸俘囚、惟爾俘囚、旣遭遷徙、自耶路撒冷、至巴比倫、我使之然。

4 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 unto all3605 that are carried away captives,1473 whom834 I have caused to be carried away1540 from Jerusalem4480 3389 unto Babylon;894

5 汝當建屋以棲身、栽園而食果、

5 Build1129 ye houses,1004 and dwell3427 in them; and plant5193 gardens,1593 and eat398 853 the fruit6529 of them;

6 娶妻室、育子女、子則娶媳、女則適人、可生子孫、以致蕃衍、其數不減。

6 Take3947 ye wives,802 and beget3205 sons1121 and daughters;1323 and take3947 wives802 for your sons,1121 and give5414 your daughters1323 to husbands,376 that they may bear3205 sons1121 and daughters;1323 that ye may be increased7235 there,8033 and not408 diminished.4591

7 予俾爾爲俘囚、至於斯邑、汝當求予、錫斯邑以平康、蓋斯邑綏安、爾亦得享。

7 And seek1875 853 the peace7965 of the city5892 whither834 8033 I have caused you to be carried away captives,1540 and pray6419 unto413 the LORD3068 for1157 it: for3588 in the peace7965 thereof shall ye have1961 peace.7965

8 萬有之主、以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、勿爲爾中之先知、及卜筮所惑、占夢之言、亦勿聽從我。

8 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Let not408 your prophets5030 and your diviners,7080 that834 be in the midst7130 of you, deceive5377 you, neither408 hearken8085 to413 your dreams2472 which834 ye859 cause to be dreamed.2492

9 我耶和華未嘗遣彼、彼藉我名、所言誕妄。

9 For3588 they1992 prophesy5012 falsely8267 unto you in my name:8034 I have not3808 sent7971 them, saith5002 the LORD.3068

10 耶和華曰、爾居巴比倫、歷七十年、厥後我眷顧爾、應我所許、使爾得歸故土、

10 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 That3588 after6310 seventy7657 years8141 be accomplished4390 at Babylon894 I will visit6485 you, and perform6965 853 my good2896 word1697 toward5921 you, in causing you to return7725 853 to413 this2088 place.4725

11 耶和華又云、予待爾將若何、予自知之、欲錫平康、不加災害、終有可望。

11 For3588 I595 know3045 853 the thoughts4284 that834 I595 think2803 toward5921 you, saith5002 the LORD,3068 thoughts4284 of peace,7965 and not3808 of evil,7451 to give5414 you an expected8615 end.319

12 爾禱告予、當祈求不輟、我必俯聞、

12 Then shall ye call upon7121 me, and ye shall go1980 and pray6419 unto413 me, and I will hearken8085 unto413 you.

13 倘爾一心求予、則必可得。

13 And ye shall seek1245 me, and find4672 me, when3588 ye shall search for1875 me with all3605 your heart.3824

14 耶和華又曰、我左右爾、返爾俘囚、昔我驅爾於列國、散爾於四方、後必撫集之、俾歸故土。

14 And I will be found4672 of you, saith5002 the LORD:3068 and I will turn away7725 853 your captivity,7622 and I will gather6908 you from all4480 3605 the nations,1471 and from all4480 3605 the places4725 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 you, saith5002 the LORD;3068 and I will bring you again7725 853 into413 the place4725 whence834 4480 8033 I caused you to be carried away captive.1540

15 爾旣曰、耶和華在巴比倫、振興先知、以訓迪予、

15 Because3588 ye have said,559 The LORD3068 hath raised us up6965 prophets5030 in Babylon;894

16 凡繼大闢爲王、與斯邑之居民、未被俘囚者、

16 Know that3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of413 the king4428 that sitteth3427 upon413 the throne3678 of David,1732 and of413 all3605 the people5971 that dwelleth3427 in this2063 city,5892 and of your brethren251 that834 are not3808 gone forth3318 with854 you into captivity;1473

17 萬有之主耶和華曾言之、曰、我必罰之、戮以鋒刃、降以饑饉、斃以疫癘、視若劣果、不堪適口。

17 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold,2009 I will send7971 upon them853 the sword,2719 853 the famine,7458 and the pestilence,1698 and will make5414 them like vile8182 figs,8384 that834 cannot3808 be eaten,398 they are so evil.4480 7455

18 旣以斯三者降罰其身、又必徙於天下萬邦、受人咒詛、不勝駭異、爲人凌侮、時聞怨聲、

18 And I will persecute7291 310 them with the sword,2719 with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 and will deliver5414 them to be removed2189 to all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth,776 to be a curse,423 and an astonishment,8047 and a hissing,8322 and a reproach,2781 among all3605 the nations1471 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 them:

19 我數遣僕先知、訓迪有衆、惟彼不聽我言、與爾無異、故我罰之若此。

19 Because8478 834 they have not3808 hearkened8085 to413 my words,1697 saith5002 the LORD,3068 which834 I sent7971 unto413 them by853 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 rising up early7925 and sending7971 them; but ye would not3808 hear,8085 saith5002 the LORD.3068

20 自耶路撒冷至巴比倫、爲我所遷徙、使爲俘囚者、宜聽我言。

20 Hear8085 ye859 therefore the word1697 of the LORD,3068 all3605 ye of the captivity,1473 whom834 I have sent7971 from Jerusalem4480 3389 to Babylon: 894

21 我萬有之主、以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、有哥賴亞子亞哈、馬西雅子西底家、藉我名以惑衆、我必付之於巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒手、俾就殺戮、爾目覩焉。

21 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 of413 Ahab256 the son1121 of Kolaiah,6964 and of413 Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Maaseiah,4641 which prophesy5012 a lie8267 unto you in my name;8034 Behold,2009 I will deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon;894 and he shall slay5221 them before your eyes;5869

22 厥後猶大之民、俘囚於巴比倫者、凡咒詛必指斯二人爲口實、曰、願耶和華使予敵人、若西底家亞哈、爲巴比倫王炙之以火。

22 And of4480 them shall be taken up3947 a curse7045 by all3605 the captivity1546 of Judah3063 which834 are in Babylon,894 saying,559 The LORD3068 make7760 thee like Zedekiah6667 and like Ahab,256 whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 roasted7033 in the fire;784

23 因彼作惡於以色列族、淫人婦女、又藉我名、誘惑民人、違予所命、我耶和華鑒察之矣。

23 Because3282 834 they have committed6213 villainy5039 in Israel,3478 and have committed adultery5003 with854 their neighbors'7453 wives,802 and have spoken1696 lying8267 words1697 in my name,8034 which834 I have not3808 commanded6680 them; even I595 know,3045 and am a witness,5707 saith5002 the LORD.3068

24 當告尼希蘭人示罵雅云、

24 Thus shalt thou also speak559 to413 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite,5161 saying,559

25 萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華云、爾曾書達耶路撒冷居民、與馬西雅子祭司西番雅及衆祭司、書曰、

25 Thus3541 speaketh559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Because3282 834 thou859 hast sent7971 letters5612 in thy name8034 unto413 all3605 the people5971 that834 are at Jerusalem,3389 and to413 Zephaniah6846 the son1121 of Maaseiah4641 the priest,3548 and to413 all3605 the priests,3548 saying,559

26 耶和華俾爾爲祭司、以代約何耶大、兼在耶和華殿爲督、凡狂妄者流、自稱爲先知、俾爾執之、囚之於獄、加以桎梏。

26 The LORD3068 hath made5414 thee priest3548 in the stead of8478 Jehoiada3077 the priest,3548 that ye should be1961 officers6496 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 for every3605 man376 that is mad,7696 and maketh himself a prophet,5012 that thou shouldest put5414 him in413 prison,4115 and in413 the stocks.6729

27 今亞拿突人耶利米、自稱爲先知、爾曷弗督責焉。

27 Now6258 therefore why4100 hast thou not3808 reproved1605 Jeremiah3414 of Anathoth,6069 which maketh himself a prophet5012 to you?

28 蓋耶利米曾致書至巴比倫、告予曰、時日尚久、當建室以棲身、栽園而食果。

28 For3588 therefore5921 3651 he sent7971 unto413 us in Babylon,894 saying,559 This1931 captivity is long:752 build1129 ye houses,1004 and dwell3427 in them; and plant5193 gardens,1593 and eat398 853 the fruit6529 of them.

29 祭司西番雅、於先知耶利米前、展讀是書。

29 And Zephaniah6846 the priest3548 read7121 853 this2088 letter5612 in the ears241 of Jeremiah3414 the prophet.5030

30 耶和華諭耶利米曰、

30 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559

31 爾當致書、告諸俘囚者曰、尼希蘭人示罵雅、予耶和華未之遣也、彼傳言以惑衆、

31 Send7971 to5921 all3605 them of the captivity,1473 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning413 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite;5161 Because3283 834 that Shemaiah8098 hath prophesied5012 unto you, and I589 sent7971 him not,3808 and he caused you to trust982 853 in5921 a lie: 8267

32 故我云、必罰之、爰及苗裔、彼使人違我、故我錫福於斯民、彼不得享、彼之子孫、必絕滅於民間。

32 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will punish6485 5921 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite,5161 and his seed:2233 he shall not3808 have1961 a man376 to dwell3427 among8432 this2088 people;5971 neither3808 shall he behold7200 the good2896 that834 I589 will do6213 for my people,5971 saith5002 the LORD;3068 because3588 he hath taught1696 rebellion5627 against5921 the LORD.3068
