耶利米書

第26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 「耶和華如此說:你站在耶和華殿的院內,對猶大眾城邑的人,就是到耶和華殿來敬拜[worship]的,說我所吩咐你的一切話,一字不可刪減;

3 他們若[If so they]肯聽從,各人回頭離開惡道,使我後悔不將我因他們所行的惡,想要施行的災禍降與他們。

4 你要對他們說,耶和華如此說:『你們若不聽從我,不遵行我設立在你們面前的律法,

5 不聽我從早起來[both]差遣到你們那裏去我僕人眾先知的話,你們還是沒有聽從,

6 我就必使這殿如示羅,使這城為地上列國所咒詛的。』」

7 於是[So]耶利米在耶和華殿中說的這些話,祭司、先知與眾民都聽見了。

8 耶利米說完了耶和華所吩咐他對眾人說的一切話,祭司、先知與眾民都來抓住他,說:「你必要死。

9 你為何託耶和華的名預言,說這殿必如示羅,這城必變為荒場無人居住呢?」於是眾民都在耶和華的殿中聚集攻擊耶利米[gathered against Jeremiah]

10 猶大的首領聽見這些事[these things],就從王宮上到耶和華的殿,[in]耶和華殿的新門口坐下[sat down]

11 祭司、先知對首領和眾民說:「這人是該死的;因為他說預言攻擊這城,正如你們親耳所聽見的。」

12 耶利米就對眾首領和眾民說:「耶和華差遣我預言,攻擊這殿和這城,說你們所聽見的這一切話。

13 所以[Therefore]現在要改正你們的行動作為,聽從耶和華─你們神的話,耶和華[LORD]就必後悔,不將所說的災禍降與你們。

14 至於我,看哪[behold],我在你們手中,你們[seemeth]何為善,何為合宜[meet],就那樣待我吧。

15 但你們要確實地知道,若把我治死,就[surely]使無辜人的血歸到你們和這城,並其中的居民了;因為耶和華實在差遣我到你們這裏來,將這一切話傳與你們耳中。」

16 首領和眾民就對祭司、先知說:「這人是不該死的,因為他是奉耶和華─我們神的名向我們說話。」

17 國中的長老就有幾個人起來,對聚會的眾民說:

18 「當猶大王希西家的日子,有摩利沙人彌迦對猶大眾人預言說:大軍之耶和華如此說:錫安必被耕種像一塊田;耶路撒冷必變為亂堆;這殿的山必像叢林的高處。

19 猶大王希西家和猶大眾人豈是把他治死呢?希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華、懇求耶和華[LORD],耶和華就後悔,不把自己所說的災禍降與他們嗎?若治死這人,我們就作了大惡,自害己命。」

20 又有一個人奉耶和華的名說預言,是基列.耶琳人示瑪雅的兒子烏利亞,他照耶利米的一切話說預言,攻擊這城和這地。

21 約雅敬王和他眾勇士、眾首領聽見了烏利亞的話,王就想要把他治死。烏利亞聽見[but]懼怕,逃往埃及去了;

22 約雅敬王便打發亞革波的兒子以利拿單,帶領幾個人往埃及去。

23 他們就從埃及將烏利亞帶出來,送到約雅敬王那裏;王用刀殺了他,把他的屍首拋在平民的墳地中。

24 然而,沙番的兒子亞希甘保護耶利米,不交在百姓的手中治死他。

Chapter 26

1 In the beginning7225 of the reign4468 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559

2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Stand5975 in the court2691 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 and speak1696 unto5921 all3605 the cities5892 of Judah,3063 which come935 to worship7812 in the LORD's3068 house,1004 all3605 the words1697 that834 I command6680 thee to speak1696 unto413 them; diminish1639 not408 a word: 1697

3 If so be194 they will hearken,8085 and turn7725 every man376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 that I may repent5162 me of413 the evil,7451 which834 I595 purpose2803 to do6213 unto them because4480 6440 of the evil7455 of their doings.4611

4 And thou shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 If518 ye will not3808 hearken8085 to413 me, to walk1980 in my law,8451 which834 I have set5414 before6440 you,

5 To hearken8085 to5921 the words1697 of my servants5650 the prophets,5030 whom834 I595 sent7971 unto413 you, both rising up early,7925 and sending7971 them, but ye have not3808 hearkened;8085

6 Then will I make5414 853 this2088 house1004 like Shiloh,7887 and will make5414 this2063 city5892 a curse7045 to all3605 the nations1471 of the earth.776

7 So the priests3548 and the prophets5030 and all3605 the people5971 heard8085 853 Jeremiah3414 speaking1696 853 these428 words1697 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

8 Now it came to pass,1961 when Jeremiah3414 had made an end3615 of speaking1696 853 all3605 that834 the LORD3068 had commanded6680 him to speak1696 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 that the priests3548 and the prophets5030 and all3605 the people5971 took8610 him, saying,559 Thou shalt surely die.4191 4191

9 Why4069 hast thou prophesied5012 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 saying,559 This2088 house1004 shall be1961 like Shiloh,7887 and this2063 city5892 shall be desolate2717 without4480 369 an inhabitant?3427 And all3605 the people5971 were gathered6950 against413 Jeremiah3414 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

10 When the princes8269 of Judah3063 heard8085 853 these428 things,1697 then they came up5927 from the king's4428 house4480 1004 unto the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and sat down3427 in the entry6607 of the new2319 gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house.

11 Then spoke559 the priests3548 and the prophets5030 unto413 the princes8269 and to413 all3605 the people,5971 saying,559 This2088 man376 is worthy4941 to die;4194 for3588 he hath prophesied5012 against413 this2063 city,5892 as834 ye have heard8085 with your ears.241

12 Then spoke559 Jeremiah3414 unto413 all3605 the princes8269 and to413 all3605 the people,5971 saying,559 The LORD3068 sent7971 me to prophesy5012 against413 this2088 house1004 and against413 this2063 city5892 all3605 the words1697 that834 ye have heard.8085

13 Therefore now6258 amend3190 your ways1870 and your doings,4611 and obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God;430 and the LORD3068 will repent5162 him of413 the evil7451 that834 he hath pronounced1696 against5921 you.

14 As for me,589 behold,2009 I am in your hand:3027 do6213 with me as seemeth5869 good2896 and meet3477 unto you.

15 But389 know ye for certain,3045 3045 that3588 if518 ye859 put me to death,4191 853 ye859 shall surely3588 bring5414 innocent5355 blood1818 upon5921 yourselves, and upon413 this2063 city,5892 and upon413 the inhabitants3427 thereof: for3588 of a truth571 the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me unto5921 you to speak1696 853 all3605 these428 words1697 in your ears.241

16 Then said559 the princes8269 and all3605 the people5971 unto413 the priests3548 and to413 the prophets;5030 This2088 man376 is not369 worthy4941 to die:4194 for3588 he hath spoken1696 to413 us in the name8034 of the LORD3068 our God.430

17 Then rose up6965 certain376 of the elders4480 2205 of the land,776 and spoke559 to413 all3605 the assembly6951 of the people,5971 saying,559

18 Micah4320 the Morasthite4183 prophesied1961 5012 in the days3117 of Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah,3063 and spoke559 to413 all3605 the people5971 of Judah,3063 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Zion6726 shall be plowed2790 like a field,7704 and Jerusalem3389 shall become1961 heaps,5856 and the mountain2022 of the house1004 as the high places1116 of a forest.3293

19 Did Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 and all3605 Judah3063 put him at all to death?4191 4191 did he not3808 fear3372 853 the LORD,3068 and besought2470 853 6440 the LORD,3068 and the LORD3068 repented5162 him of413 the evil7451 which834 he had pronounced1696 against5921 them? Thus might we587 procure6213 great1419 evil7451 against5921 our souls.5315

20 And there was1961 also1571 a man376 that prophesied5012 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 Urijah223 the son1121 of Shemaiah8098 of Kirjath-jearim,4480 7157 who prophesied5012 against5921 this2063 city5892 and against5921 this2063 land776 according to all3605 the words1697 of Jeremiah: 3414

21 And when Jehoiakim3079 the king,4428 with all3605 his mighty men,1368 and all3605 the princes,8269 heard8085 853 his words,1697 the king4428 sought1245 to put him to death:4191 but when Urijah223 heard8085 it, he was afraid,3372 and fled,1272 and went into935 Egypt;4714

22 And Jehoiakim3079 the king4428 sent7971 men376 into Egypt,4714 namely,853 Elnathan494 the son1121 of Achbor,5907 and certain men376 with854 him into413 Egypt.4714

23 And they fetched forth3318 853 Urijah223 out of Egypt,4480 4714 and brought935 him unto413 Jehoiakim3079 the king;4428 who slew5221 him with the sword,2719 and cast7993 853 his dead body5038 into413 the graves6913 of the common1121 people.5971

24 Nevertheless389 the hand3027 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 was1961 with854 Jeremiah,3414 that they should not1115 give5414 him into the hand3027 of the people5971 to put him to death.4191

Chapter 26

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 reign4468 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559

2 「耶和華如此說:你站在耶和華殿的院內,對猶大眾城邑的人,就是到耶和華殿來敬拜[worship]的,說我所吩咐你的一切話,一字不可刪減;

2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Stand5975 in the court2691 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 and speak1696 unto5921 all3605 the cities5892 of Judah,3063 which come935 to worship7812 in the LORD's3068 house,1004 all3605 the words1697 that834 I command6680 thee to speak1696 unto413 them; diminish1639 not408 a word: 1697

3 他們若[If so they]肯聽從,各人回頭離開惡道,使我後悔不將我因他們所行的惡,想要施行的災禍降與他們。

3 If so be194 they will hearken,8085 and turn7725 every man376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 that I may repent5162 me of413 the evil,7451 which834 I595 purpose2803 to do6213 unto them because4480 6440 of the evil7455 of their doings.4611

4 你要對他們說,耶和華如此說:『你們若不聽從我,不遵行我設立在你們面前的律法,

4 And thou shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 If518 ye will not3808 hearken8085 to413 me, to walk1980 in my law,8451 which834 I have set5414 before6440 you,

5 不聽我從早起來[both]差遣到你們那裏去我僕人眾先知的話,你們還是沒有聽從,

5 To hearken8085 to5921 the words1697 of my servants5650 the prophets,5030 whom834 I595 sent7971 unto413 you, both rising up early,7925 and sending7971 them, but ye have not3808 hearkened;8085

6 我就必使這殿如示羅,使這城為地上列國所咒詛的。』」

6 Then will I make5414 853 this2088 house1004 like Shiloh,7887 and will make5414 this2063 city5892 a curse7045 to all3605 the nations1471 of the earth.776

7 於是[So]耶利米在耶和華殿中說的這些話,祭司、先知與眾民都聽見了。

7 So the priests3548 and the prophets5030 and all3605 the people5971 heard8085 853 Jeremiah3414 speaking1696 853 these428 words1697 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

8 耶利米說完了耶和華所吩咐他對眾人說的一切話,祭司、先知與眾民都來抓住他,說:「你必要死。

8 Now it came to pass,1961 when Jeremiah3414 had made an end3615 of speaking1696 853 all3605 that834 the LORD3068 had commanded6680 him to speak1696 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 that the priests3548 and the prophets5030 and all3605 the people5971 took8610 him, saying,559 Thou shalt surely die.4191 4191

9 你為何託耶和華的名預言,說這殿必如示羅,這城必變為荒場無人居住呢?」於是眾民都在耶和華的殿中聚集攻擊耶利米[gathered against Jeremiah]

9 Why4069 hast thou prophesied5012 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 saying,559 This2088 house1004 shall be1961 like Shiloh,7887 and this2063 city5892 shall be desolate2717 without4480 369 an inhabitant?3427 And all3605 the people5971 were gathered6950 against413 Jeremiah3414 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

10 猶大的首領聽見這些事[these things],就從王宮上到耶和華的殿,[in]耶和華殿的新門口坐下[sat down]

10 When the princes8269 of Judah3063 heard8085 853 these428 things,1697 then they came up5927 from the king's4428 house4480 1004 unto the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and sat down3427 in the entry6607 of the new2319 gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house.

11 祭司、先知對首領和眾民說:「這人是該死的;因為他說預言攻擊這城,正如你們親耳所聽見的。」

11 Then spoke559 the priests3548 and the prophets5030 unto413 the princes8269 and to413 all3605 the people,5971 saying,559 This2088 man376 is worthy4941 to die;4194 for3588 he hath prophesied5012 against413 this2063 city,5892 as834 ye have heard8085 with your ears.241

12 耶利米就對眾首領和眾民說:「耶和華差遣我預言,攻擊這殿和這城,說你們所聽見的這一切話。

12 Then spoke559 Jeremiah3414 unto413 all3605 the princes8269 and to413 all3605 the people,5971 saying,559 The LORD3068 sent7971 me to prophesy5012 against413 this2088 house1004 and against413 this2063 city5892 all3605 the words1697 that834 ye have heard.8085

13 所以[Therefore]現在要改正你們的行動作為,聽從耶和華─你們神的話,耶和華[LORD]就必後悔,不將所說的災禍降與你們。

13 Therefore now6258 amend3190 your ways1870 and your doings,4611 and obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God;430 and the LORD3068 will repent5162 him of413 the evil7451 that834 he hath pronounced1696 against5921 you.

14 至於我,看哪[behold],我在你們手中,你們[seemeth]何為善,何為合宜[meet],就那樣待我吧。

14 As for me,589 behold,2009 I am in your hand:3027 do6213 with me as seemeth5869 good2896 and meet3477 unto you.

15 但你們要確實地知道,若把我治死,就[surely]使無辜人的血歸到你們和這城,並其中的居民了;因為耶和華實在差遣我到你們這裏來,將這一切話傳與你們耳中。」

15 But389 know ye for certain,3045 3045 that3588 if518 ye859 put me to death,4191 853 ye859 shall surely3588 bring5414 innocent5355 blood1818 upon5921 yourselves, and upon413 this2063 city,5892 and upon413 the inhabitants3427 thereof: for3588 of a truth571 the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me unto5921 you to speak1696 853 all3605 these428 words1697 in your ears.241

16 首領和眾民就對祭司、先知說:「這人是不該死的,因為他是奉耶和華─我們神的名向我們說話。」

16 Then said559 the princes8269 and all3605 the people5971 unto413 the priests3548 and to413 the prophets;5030 This2088 man376 is not369 worthy4941 to die:4194 for3588 he hath spoken1696 to413 us in the name8034 of the LORD3068 our God.430

17 國中的長老就有幾個人起來,對聚會的眾民說:

17 Then rose up6965 certain376 of the elders4480 2205 of the land,776 and spoke559 to413 all3605 the assembly6951 of the people,5971 saying,559

18 「當猶大王希西家的日子,有摩利沙人彌迦對猶大眾人預言說:大軍之耶和華如此說:錫安必被耕種像一塊田;耶路撒冷必變為亂堆;這殿的山必像叢林的高處。

18 Micah4320 the Morasthite4183 prophesied1961 5012 in the days3117 of Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah,3063 and spoke559 to413 all3605 the people5971 of Judah,3063 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Zion6726 shall be plowed2790 like a field,7704 and Jerusalem3389 shall become1961 heaps,5856 and the mountain2022 of the house1004 as the high places1116 of a forest.3293

19 猶大王希西家和猶大眾人豈是把他治死呢?希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華、懇求耶和華[LORD],耶和華就後悔,不把自己所說的災禍降與他們嗎?若治死這人,我們就作了大惡,自害己命。」

19 Did Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 and all3605 Judah3063 put him at all to death?4191 4191 did he not3808 fear3372 853 the LORD,3068 and besought2470 853 6440 the LORD,3068 and the LORD3068 repented5162 him of413 the evil7451 which834 he had pronounced1696 against5921 them? Thus might we587 procure6213 great1419 evil7451 against5921 our souls.5315

20 又有一個人奉耶和華的名說預言,是基列.耶琳人示瑪雅的兒子烏利亞,他照耶利米的一切話說預言,攻擊這城和這地。

20 And there was1961 also1571 a man376 that prophesied5012 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 Urijah223 the son1121 of Shemaiah8098 of Kirjath-jearim,4480 7157 who prophesied5012 against5921 this2063 city5892 and against5921 this2063 land776 according to all3605 the words1697 of Jeremiah: 3414

21 約雅敬王和他眾勇士、眾首領聽見了烏利亞的話,王就想要把他治死。烏利亞聽見[but]懼怕,逃往埃及去了;

21 And when Jehoiakim3079 the king,4428 with all3605 his mighty men,1368 and all3605 the princes,8269 heard8085 853 his words,1697 the king4428 sought1245 to put him to death:4191 but when Urijah223 heard8085 it, he was afraid,3372 and fled,1272 and went into935 Egypt;4714

22 約雅敬王便打發亞革波的兒子以利拿單,帶領幾個人往埃及去。

22 And Jehoiakim3079 the king4428 sent7971 men376 into Egypt,4714 namely,853 Elnathan494 the son1121 of Achbor,5907 and certain men376 with854 him into413 Egypt.4714

23 他們就從埃及將烏利亞帶出來,送到約雅敬王那裏;王用刀殺了他,把他的屍首拋在平民的墳地中。

23 And they fetched forth3318 853 Urijah223 out of Egypt,4480 4714 and brought935 him unto413 Jehoiakim3079 the king;4428 who slew5221 him with the sword,2719 and cast7993 853 his dead body5038 into413 the graves6913 of the common1121 people.5971

24 然而,沙番的兒子亞希甘保護耶利米,不交在百姓的手中治死他。

24 Nevertheless389 the hand3027 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 was1961 with854 Jeremiah,3414 that they should not1115 give5414 him into the hand3027 of the people5971 to put him to death.4191
