耶利米书 37
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1约西亚 的儿子 西底家 代替 约雅敬 的儿子 哥尼雅 为王，是 巴比伦 王 尼布甲尼撒 立在 犹大 地作王的。
1And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2但 西底家 和他的臣仆，并国中的百姓，都不听从耶和华借先知 耶利米 所说的话。
2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
3西底家 王打发 示利米雅 的儿子 犹甲 和祭司 玛西雅 的儿子 西番雅 去见先知 耶利米 ，说：「求你为我们祷告耶和华—我们的 神。」
3And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying: 'Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.'
4那时 耶利米 在民中出入，因为他们还没有把他囚在监里。
4Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
5法老的军队已经从 埃及 出来，那围困 耶路撒冷 的 迦勒底 人听见他们的风声，就拔营离开 耶路撒冷 去了。
5And Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
6耶和华的话临到先知 耶利米 说：
6Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying:
7「耶和华— 以色列 的 神如此说： 犹大 王打发你们来求问我，你们要如此对他说：『那出来帮助你们法老的军队必回 埃及 本国去。
7'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto Me to inquire of Me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
8迦勒底 人必再来攻打这城，并要攻取，用火焚烧。
8And the Chaldeans shall return, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
9耶和华如此说：你们不要自欺说「 迦勒底 人必定离开我们」，因为他们必不离开。
9Thus saith the LORD: Deceive not yourselves, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
10你们即便杀败了与你们争战的 迦勒底 全军，但剩下受伤的人也必各人从帐棚里起来，用火焚烧这城。』」
10For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.'
11迦勒底 的军队因怕法老的军队，拔营离开 耶路撒冷 的时候，
11And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
12耶利米 就杂在民中出离 耶路撒冷 ，要往 便雅悯 地去，在那里得自己的地业。
12then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
13他到了 便雅悯门 那里，有守门官名叫 伊利雅 ，是 哈拿尼亚 的孙子、 示利米雅 的儿子，他就拿住先知 耶利米 ，说：「你是投降 迦勒底 人哪！」
13And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying: 'Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.'
14耶利米 说：「你这是谎话，我并不是投降 迦勒底 人。」 伊利雅 不听他的话，就拿住他，解到首领那里。
14Then said Jeremiah: 'It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans'; but he hearkened not to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15首领恼怒 耶利米 ，就打了他，将他囚在文士 约拿单 的房屋中，因为他们以这房屋当作监牢。
15And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
16耶利米 来到狱中，进入牢房，在那里囚了多日。
16When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
17西底家 王打发人提出他来，在自己的宫内私下问他说：「从耶和华有什么话临到没有？」 耶利米 说：「有！」又说：「你必交在 巴比伦 王手中。」
17then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him; and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said: 'Is there any word from the LORD?' And Jeremiah said: 'There is.' He said also: 'Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.'
18耶利米 又对 西底家 王说：「我在什么事上得罪你，或你的臣仆，或这百姓，你竟将我囚在监里呢？
18Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah: 'Wherein have I sinned against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
19对你们预言 巴比伦 王必不来攻击你们和这地的先知，现今在哪里呢？
19Where now are your prophets that prophesied unto you, saying: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
20主—我的王啊，求你现在垂听，准我在你面前的恳求：不要使我回到文士 约拿单 的房屋中，免得我死在那里。」
20And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be presented before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.'
21于是， 西底家 王下令，他们就把 耶利米 交在护卫兵的院中，每天从饼铺街取一个饼给他，直到城中的饼用尽了。这样， 耶利米 仍在护卫兵的院中。
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard, and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
