耶利米書

第27章

1 猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬登基的時候,有這話從耶和華臨到耶利米說:

2 「耶和華對我如此說:你作繩索與軛,加在自己的頸項上,

3 藉那些來到耶路撒冷見猶大王西底家的使臣之手,把繩索與軛送到以東王、摩押王、亞捫人的[of the Ammonites]王、推羅王、西頓王那裏,

4 且囑咐使臣,傳與他們的主人說,大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說:

5 我用大能和伸出來的膀臂,創造大地和地上的人民、牲畜。我看給誰相宜,就把地給誰。

6 現在我將這些地都交給我僕人巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手,我也將田野的走獸給他使用。

7 列國都必服事他和他的兒孫,直到他國[his land]遭報的[very]日期來到。那時,多國和大君王要使他作他們的奴僕。

8 「無論哪一邦哪一國,不肯服事這巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒,也不把頸項放在巴比倫王的軛下,我必用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫刑罰那邦,直到我藉巴比倫王的手將他們毀滅。這是耶和華說的。

9 故此[Therefore],你們不可聽從你們的先知和占卜的、圓夢的、觀兆的,以及行邪術的;他們告訴你們說:『你們不致服事巴比倫王;』

10 他們向你們說假預言,要叫你們遷移,遠離本地,以致我將你們趕出去,使你們滅亡。

11把頸項放在巴比倫王軛下服事他的邦國[nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon],我必使那些[those]邦國[nations]仍在本地存留,得以耕種居住。這是耶和華說的。」

12 [also]照這一切的話對猶大王西底家說:「要把你們的頸項放在巴比倫王的軛下,服事他和他的百姓,便得存活。

13 你和你的百姓為何要因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫死亡,正如耶和華[against]不服事巴比倫王的那國說的話呢?

14 所以[Therefore],不可聽那些先知對你們所說的話;他們說:『你們不致服事巴比倫王』,其實他們向你們說假預言。

15 耶和華說:『我並沒有打發他們,他們還是[yet]託我的名說假預言,好使我將你們和向你們說預言的那些先知趕出去,一同滅亡。』」

16 我又對祭司和這眾民說:耶和華如此說:「不可聽[Hearken not]那先知對你們所說的預言。他們說:『看哪[Behold],耶和華殿中的器皿快要從巴比倫帶回來』;其實他們向你們說假預言。

17 不可聽從他們,只管服事巴比倫王便得存活。這城何致變為荒場呢?

18 他們若果是先知,[if]耶和華的話臨到他們,讓他們祈求大軍之耶和華,使那在耶和華殿中和猶大王宮內,並耶路撒冷剩下的器皿,不被帶到巴比倫去。

19 因為大軍之耶和華論到柱子、銅海、盆座,並[remain]在這城裏的器皿,

20 就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒將猶大王約雅敬的兒子耶哥尼雅,和猶大、耶路撒冷一切貴族擄到巴比倫去[carried away captive to Babylon]的時候所沒有掠去的器皿。

21 論到那在耶和華殿中和猶大王宮內,並耶路撒冷[remain]下的器皿,大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說:

22 它們[They]必被帶到巴比倫存在那裏,直到我眷顧以色列人的日子;那時,我必將這器皿帶回來,交還此地。這是耶和華說的。」

Jeremiah

Chapter 27

1 In the beginning7225 of the reign4467 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 to Jeremiah3414 from the LORD,3068 saying,559

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 to me; Make6213 you bonds4147 and yokes,4133 and put5414 them on your neck,6677

3 And send7971 them to the king4428 of Edom,123 and to the king4428 of Moab,4124 and to the king4428 of the Ammonites,5984 and to the king4428 of Tyrus,6865 and to the king4428 of Zidon,6721 by the hand3027 of the messengers4397 which come935 to Jerusalem3389 to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah;3063

4 And command6680 them to say559 to their masters,113 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Thus3541 shall you say559 to your masters;113

5 I have made6213 the earth,776 the man120 and the beast929 that are on the ground,776 by my great1419 power3581 and by my outstretched5186 arm,2220 and have given5414 it to whom834 it seemed5869 meet3474 to me.

6 And now6258 have I given5414 all3605 these428 lands776 into413 the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 my servant;5650 and the beasts2416 of the field7704 have I given5414 him also1571 to serve5647 him.

7 And all3605 nations1471 shall serve5647 him, and his son,1121 and his son's1121 son,1121 until5704 the very time6256 of his land776 come:935 and then many7227 nations1471 and great1419 kings4428 shall serve5647 themselves of him.

8 And it shall come1961 to pass, that the nation1471 and kingdom4467 which834 will not serve5647 the same Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and that will not put5414 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 that nation1471 will I punish,6485 said5002 the LORD,3068 with the sword,2719 and with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 until5704 I have consumed8552 them by his hand.3027

9 Therefore listen8085 not you to your prophets,5030 nor to your diviners,7080 nor to your dreamers,2492 nor to your enchanters,6049 nor to your sorcerers,3786 which834 speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894

10 For they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you, to remove7368 you far7368 from your land;127 and that I should drive5080 you out, and you should perish.6

11 But the nations1471 that bring935 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him, those will I let remain5117 still in their own land,127 said5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall till5647 it, and dwell3427 therein.

12 I spoke1696 also to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 according to all3605 these428 words,1697 saying,559 Bring935 your necks6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him and his people,5971 and live.2421

13 Why4100 will you die,4191 you and your people,5971 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence,1698 as the LORD3068 has spoken1696 against413 the nation1471 that will not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon?894

14 Therefore listen8085 not to the words1697 of the prophets5030 that speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

15 For I have not sent7971 them, said5002 the LORD,3068 yet they prophesy5012 a lie8267 in my name;8034 that I might drive5080 you out, and that you might perish,6 you, and the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you.

16 Also I spoke1696 to the priests3548 and to all3605 this2088 people,5971 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Listen8085 not to the words1697 of your prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you, saying,559 Behold,2009 the vessels3627 of the LORD's3068 house1004 shall now6258 shortly4120 be brought7725 again7725 from Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

17 Listen8085 not to them; serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and live:2421 why4100 should this2063 city5892 be laid waste?2723

18 But if518 they be prophets,5030 and if518 the word1697 of the LORD3068 be with them, let them now4994 make intercession6293 to the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that the vessels3627 which are left3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and at Jerusalem,3389 go935 not to Babylon.894

19 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 concerning5921 the pillars,5982 and concerning5921 the sea,3220 and concerning5921 the bases,4369 and concerning5921 the residue3499 of the vessels3627 that remain3498 in this2063 city.5892

20 Which834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 took3947 not, when he carried1546 away captive1540 Jeconiah3204 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 from Jerusalem3389 to Babylon,894 and all3605 the nobles2715 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem;3389

21 Yes,3588 thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 concerning5921 the vessels3627 that remain3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah3063 and of Jerusalem;3389

22 They shall be carried935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 shall they be until5704 the day3117 that I visit6485 them, said5002 the LORD;3068 then will I bring5927 them up, and restore7725 them to this2008 place.4725

Chapter 27

1 猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬登基的時候,有這話從耶和華臨到耶利米說:

1 In the beginning7225 of the reign4467 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 to Jeremiah3414 from the LORD,3068 saying,559

2 「耶和華對我如此說:你作繩索與軛,加在自己的頸項上,

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 to me; Make6213 you bonds4147 and yokes,4133 and put5414 them on your neck,6677

3 藉那些來到耶路撒冷見猶大王西底家的使臣之手,把繩索與軛送到以東王、摩押王、亞捫人的[of the Ammonites]王、推羅王、西頓王那裏,

3 And send7971 them to the king4428 of Edom,123 and to the king4428 of Moab,4124 and to the king4428 of the Ammonites,5984 and to the king4428 of Tyrus,6865 and to the king4428 of Zidon,6721 by the hand3027 of the messengers4397 which come935 to Jerusalem3389 to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah;3063

4 且囑咐使臣,傳與他們的主人說,大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說:

4 And command6680 them to say559 to their masters,113 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Thus3541 shall you say559 to your masters;113

5 我用大能和伸出來的膀臂,創造大地和地上的人民、牲畜。我看給誰相宜,就把地給誰。

5 I have made6213 the earth,776 the man120 and the beast929 that are on the ground,776 by my great1419 power3581 and by my outstretched5186 arm,2220 and have given5414 it to whom834 it seemed5869 meet3474 to me.

6 現在我將這些地都交給我僕人巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手,我也將田野的走獸給他使用。

6 And now6258 have I given5414 all3605 these428 lands776 into413 the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 my servant;5650 and the beasts2416 of the field7704 have I given5414 him also1571 to serve5647 him.

7 列國都必服事他和他的兒孫,直到他國[his land]遭報的[very]日期來到。那時,多國和大君王要使他作他們的奴僕。

7 And all3605 nations1471 shall serve5647 him, and his son,1121 and his son's1121 son,1121 until5704 the very time6256 of his land776 come:935 and then many7227 nations1471 and great1419 kings4428 shall serve5647 themselves of him.

8 「無論哪一邦哪一國,不肯服事這巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒,也不把頸項放在巴比倫王的軛下,我必用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫刑罰那邦,直到我藉巴比倫王的手將他們毀滅。這是耶和華說的。

8 And it shall come1961 to pass, that the nation1471 and kingdom4467 which834 will not serve5647 the same Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and that will not put5414 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 that nation1471 will I punish,6485 said5002 the LORD,3068 with the sword,2719 and with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 until5704 I have consumed8552 them by his hand.3027

9 故此[Therefore],你們不可聽從你們的先知和占卜的、圓夢的、觀兆的,以及行邪術的;他們告訴你們說:『你們不致服事巴比倫王;』

9 Therefore listen8085 not you to your prophets,5030 nor to your diviners,7080 nor to your dreamers,2492 nor to your enchanters,6049 nor to your sorcerers,3786 which834 speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894

10 他們向你們說假預言,要叫你們遷移,遠離本地,以致我將你們趕出去,使你們滅亡。

10 For they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you, to remove7368 you far7368 from your land;127 and that I should drive5080 you out, and you should perish.6

11把頸項放在巴比倫王軛下服事他的邦國[nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon],我必使那些[those]邦國[nations]仍在本地存留,得以耕種居住。這是耶和華說的。」

11 But the nations1471 that bring935 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him, those will I let remain5117 still in their own land,127 said5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall till5647 it, and dwell3427 therein.

12 [also]照這一切的話對猶大王西底家說:「要把你們的頸項放在巴比倫王的軛下,服事他和他的百姓,便得存活。

12 I spoke1696 also to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 according to all3605 these428 words,1697 saying,559 Bring935 your necks6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him and his people,5971 and live.2421

13 你和你的百姓為何要因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫死亡,正如耶和華[against]不服事巴比倫王的那國說的話呢?

13 Why4100 will you die,4191 you and your people,5971 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence,1698 as the LORD3068 has spoken1696 against413 the nation1471 that will not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon?894

14 所以[Therefore],不可聽那些先知對你們所說的話;他們說:『你們不致服事巴比倫王』,其實他們向你們說假預言。

14 Therefore listen8085 not to the words1697 of the prophets5030 that speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

15 耶和華說:『我並沒有打發他們,他們還是[yet]託我的名說假預言,好使我將你們和向你們說預言的那些先知趕出去,一同滅亡。』」

15 For I have not sent7971 them, said5002 the LORD,3068 yet they prophesy5012 a lie8267 in my name;8034 that I might drive5080 you out, and that you might perish,6 you, and the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you.

16 我又對祭司和這眾民說:耶和華如此說:「不可聽[Hearken not]那先知對你們所說的預言。他們說:『看哪[Behold],耶和華殿中的器皿快要從巴比倫帶回來』;其實他們向你們說假預言。

16 Also I spoke1696 to the priests3548 and to all3605 this2088 people,5971 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Listen8085 not to the words1697 of your prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you, saying,559 Behold,2009 the vessels3627 of the LORD's3068 house1004 shall now6258 shortly4120 be brought7725 again7725 from Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

17 不可聽從他們,只管服事巴比倫王便得存活。這城何致變為荒場呢?

17 Listen8085 not to them; serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and live:2421 why4100 should this2063 city5892 be laid waste?2723

18 他們若果是先知,[if]耶和華的話臨到他們,讓他們祈求大軍之耶和華,使那在耶和華殿中和猶大王宮內,並耶路撒冷剩下的器皿,不被帶到巴比倫去。

18 But if518 they be prophets,5030 and if518 the word1697 of the LORD3068 be with them, let them now4994 make intercession6293 to the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that the vessels3627 which are left3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and at Jerusalem,3389 go935 not to Babylon.894

19 因為大軍之耶和華論到柱子、銅海、盆座,並[remain]在這城裏的器皿,

19 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 concerning5921 the pillars,5982 and concerning5921 the sea,3220 and concerning5921 the bases,4369 and concerning5921 the residue3499 of the vessels3627 that remain3498 in this2063 city.5892

20 就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒將猶大王約雅敬的兒子耶哥尼雅,和猶大、耶路撒冷一切貴族擄到巴比倫去[carried away captive to Babylon]的時候所沒有掠去的器皿。

20 Which834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 took3947 not, when he carried1546 away captive1540 Jeconiah3204 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 from Jerusalem3389 to Babylon,894 and all3605 the nobles2715 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem;3389

21 論到那在耶和華殿中和猶大王宮內,並耶路撒冷[remain]下的器皿,大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說:

21 Yes,3588 thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 concerning5921 the vessels3627 that remain3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah3063 and of Jerusalem;3389

22 它們[They]必被帶到巴比倫存在那裏,直到我眷顧以色列人的日子;那時,我必將這器皿帶回來,交還此地。這是耶和華說的。」

22 They shall be carried935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 shall they be until5704 the day3117 that I visit6485 them, said5002 the LORD;3068 then will I bring5927 them up, and restore7725 them to this2008 place.4725
