Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1This is the text of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets, and all the others Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
1先知 耶利米 从 耶路撒冷 寄信与被掳的祭司、先知,和众民,并生存的长老,就是 尼布甲尼撒 从 耶路撒冷 掳到 巴比伦 去的。(
2(This was after King Jeconiah, the queen mother, the court officials, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalsmiths had been exiled from Jerusalem.)
2这在 耶哥尼雅 王和太后、太监,并 犹大 、 耶路撒冷 的首领,以及工匠、铁匠都离了 耶路撒冷 以后。)
3The letter was entrusted to Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It stated:
3他借 沙番 的儿子 以利亚萨 和 希勒家 的儿子 基玛利 的手寄去。他们二人是 犹大 王 西底家 打发往 巴比伦 去见 尼布甲尼撒 王的。
4This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles who were carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
4信上说:「万军之耶和华— 以色列 的 神对一切被掳去的(就是我使他们从 耶路撒冷 被掳到 巴比伦 的人)如此说:
5“Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.
5你们要盖造房屋,住在其中;栽种田园,吃其中所产的;
6Take wives and have sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Multiply there; do not decrease.
6娶妻生儿女,为你们的儿子娶妻,使你们的女儿嫁人,生儿养女。在那里生养众多,不致减少。
7Seek the prosperity of the city to which I have sent you as exiles. Pray to the LORD on its behalf, for if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
7我所使你们被掳到的那城,你们要为那城求平安,为那城祷告耶和华;因为那城得平安,你们也随着得平安。
8For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Do not be deceived by the prophets and diviners among you, and do not listen to the dreams you elicit from them.
8万军之耶和华— 以色列 的 神如此说:不要被你们中间的先知和占卜的诱惑,也不要听信自己所做的梦;
9For they are falsely prophesying to you in My name; I have not sent them, declares the LORD.”
9因为他们托我的名对你们说假预言,我并没有差遣他们。这是耶和华说的。
10For this is what the LORD says: “When Babylon’s seventy years are complete, I will attend to you and confirm My promise to restore you to this place.
10「耶和华如此说:为 巴比伦 所定的七十年满了以后,我要眷顾你们,向你们成就我的恩言,使你们仍回此地。
11For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
11耶和华说:我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念,不是降灾祸的意念,要叫你们末后有指望。
12Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
12你们要呼求我,祷告我,我就应允你们。
13You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
13你们寻求我,若专心寻求我,就必寻见。
14I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and places to which I have banished you, declares the LORD. I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile.”
14耶和华说:我必被你们寻见,我也必使你们被掳的人归回,将你们从各国中和我所赶你们到的各处招聚了来,又将你们带回我使你们被掳掠离开的地方。这是耶和华说的。
15Because you may say, “The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,”
15「你们说:『耶和华在 巴比伦 为我们兴起先知』;
16this is what the LORD says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile—
16所以耶和华论到坐 大卫 宝座的王和住在这城里的一切百姓,就是未曾与你们一同被掳的弟兄,
17this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten.
17万军之耶和华如此说:『看哪,我必使刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫临到他们,使他们像极坏的无花果,坏得不可吃。
18I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a curse, a desolation, and an object of scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I banish them.
18我必用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫追赶他们,使他们在天下万国抛来抛去,在我所赶他们到的各国中,令人咒诅、惊骇、嗤笑、羞辱。
19I will do this because they have not listened to My words, declares the LORD, which I sent to them again and again through My servants the prophets. And neither have you exiles listened, declares the LORD.”
19耶和华说:这是因为他们没有听从我的话,就是我从早起来差遣我仆人众先知去说的,无奈他们不听。这是耶和华说的。
20So hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
20所以你们一切被掳去的,就是我从 耶路撒冷 打发到 巴比伦 去的,当听耶和华的话。』」
21This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you lies in My name: “I will deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.
21万军之耶和华— 以色列 的 神论到 哥赖雅 的儿子 亚哈 ,并 玛西雅 的儿子 西底家 ,如此说:「他们是托我名向你们说假预言的,我必将他们交在 巴比伦 王 尼布甲尼撒 的手中;他要在你们眼前杀害他们。
22Because of them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
22住 巴比伦 一切被掳的 犹大 人必借这二人赌咒说:『愿耶和华使你像 巴比伦 王在火中烧的 西底家 和 亚哈 一样。』
23For they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with the wives of their neighbors and speaking lies in My name, which I did not command them to do. I am He who knows, and I am a witness, declares the LORD.”
23这二人是在 以色列 中行了丑事,与邻舍的妻行淫,又假托我名说我未曾吩咐他们的话。知道的是我,作见证的也是我。这是耶和华说的。」
24You are to tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite that
24「论到 尼希兰 人 示玛雅 ,你当说,
25this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “In your own name you have sent out letters to all the people of Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests. You said to Zephaniah:
25万军之耶和华— 以色列 的 神如此说:你曾用自己的名寄信给 耶路撒冷 的众民和祭司 玛西雅 的儿子 西番雅 ,并众祭司,说:
26‘The LORD has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada, to be the chief officer in the house of the LORD, responsible for any madman who acts like a prophet—you must put him in stocks and neck irons.
26『耶和华已经立你 西番雅 为祭司,代替祭司 耶何耶大 ,使耶和华殿中有官长,好将一切狂妄自称为先知的人用枷枷住,用锁锁住。
27So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?
27现在 亚拿突 人 耶利米 向你们自称为先知,你们为何没有责备他呢?
28For he has sent to us in Babylon, claiming: Since the exile will be lengthy, build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat their produce.’”
28因为他寄信给我们在 巴比伦 的人说: 被掳的事 必长久。你们要盖造房屋,住在其中;栽种田园,吃其中所产的。』」
29(Zephaniah the priest, however, had read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.)
29祭司 西番雅 就把这信念给先知 耶利米 听。
30Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
30于是耶和华的话临到 耶利米 说:
31“Send a message telling all the exiles what the LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you—though I did not send him—and has made you trust in a lie,
31「你当寄信给一切被掳的人说:『耶和华论到 尼希兰 人 示玛雅 说:因为 示玛雅 向你们说预言,我并没有差遣他,他使你们倚靠谎言;
32this is what the LORD says: ‘I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good that I will bring to My people, declares the LORD, for he has preached rebellion against the LORD.’”
32所以耶和华如此说:我必刑罚 尼希兰 人 示玛雅 和他的后裔,他必无一人存留住在这民中,也不得见我所要赐与我百姓的福乐,因为他向耶和华说了叛逆的话。这是耶和华说的。』」
