耶利米书 38
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1玛坦 的儿子 示法提雅 、 巴施户珥 的儿子 基大利 、 示利米雅 的儿子 犹甲 、 玛基雅 的儿子 巴施户珥 听见 耶利米 对众人所说的话，说：
1Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
2「耶和华如此说：住在这城里的必遭刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死；但出去归降 迦勒底 人的必得存活，就是以自己命为掠物的，必得存活。
2“The LORD says, ‘He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life and he will live.’
3耶和华如此说：这城必要交在 巴比伦 王军队的手中，他必攻取这城。」
3The LORD says, ‘This city will surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.’”
4于是首领对王说：「求你将这人治死；因他向城里剩下的兵丁和众民说这样的话，使他们的手发软。这人不是求这百姓得平安，乃是叫他们受灾祸。」
4Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death, because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them; for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.”
5西底家 王说：「他在你们手中，无论何事，王也不能与你们反对。」
5Zedekiah the king said, “Behold, he is in your hand; for the king can’t do anything to oppose you.”
6他们就拿住 耶利米 ，下在 哈米勒 的儿子 玛基雅 的牢狱里；那牢狱在护卫兵的院中。他们用绳子将 耶利米 系下去。牢狱里没有水，只有淤泥， 耶利米 就陷在淤泥中。
6Then they took Jeremiah and threw him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard. They let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
7在王宫的太监 古实 人 以伯·米勒 ，听见他们将 耶利米 下了牢狱（那时王坐在 便雅悯门 口），
7Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate),
8以伯·米勒 就从王宫里出来，对王说：
8Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
9「主—我的王啊，这些人向先知 耶利米 一味地行恶，将他下在牢狱中；他在那里必因饥饿而死，因为城中再没有粮食。」
9“My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.”
10王就吩咐 古实 人 以伯·米勒 说：「你从这里带领三十人，趁着先知 耶利米 未死以前，将他从牢狱中提上来。」
10Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.”
11于是 以伯·米勒 带领这些人同去，进入王宫，到库房以下，从那里取了些碎布和破烂的衣服，用绳子缒下牢狱去到 耶利米 那里。
11So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
12古实 人 以伯·米勒 对 耶利米 说：「你用这些碎布和破烂的衣服放在绳子上，垫你的胳肢窝。」 耶利米 就照样行了。
12Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so.
13这样，他们用绳子将 耶利米 从牢狱里拉上来。 耶利米 仍在护卫兵的院中。
13So they lifted Jeremiah up with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
14西底家 王打发人带领先知 耶利米 ，进耶和华殿中第三门里见王。王就对 耶利米 说：「我要问你一件事，你丝毫不可向我隐瞒。」
14Then Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into the third entry that is in the LORD’s house. Then the king said to Jeremiah, “I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.”
15耶利米 对 西底家 说：「我若告诉你，你岂不定要杀我吗？我若劝戒你，你必不听从我。」
15Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? If I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.”
16西底家 王就私下向 耶利米 说：「我指着那造我们生命之永生的耶和华起誓：我必不杀你，也不将你交在寻索你命的人手中。」
16So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As the LORD lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”
17耶利米 对 西底家 说：「耶和华—万军之 神、 以色列 的 神如此说：你若出去归降 巴比伦 王的首领，你的命就必存活，这城也不致被火焚烧，你和你的全家都必存活。
17Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “The LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. You will live, along with your house.
18你若不出去归降 巴比伦 王的首领，这城必交在 迦勒底 人手中。他们必用火焚烧，你也不得脱离他们的手。」
18But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you won’t escape out of their hand.’”
19西底家 王对 耶利米 说：「我怕那些投降 迦勒底 人的 犹大 人，恐怕 迦勒底 人将我交在他们手中，他们戏弄我。」
19Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.”
20耶利米 说：「 迦勒底 人必不将你交出。求你听从我对你所说耶和华的话，这样你必得好处，你的命也必存活。
20But Jeremiah said, “They won’t deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the LORD’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live.
21你若不肯出去，耶和华指示我的话乃是这样：
21But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that the LORD has shown me:
22犹大 王宫里所剩的妇女必都带到 巴比伦 王的首领那里。这些妇女必说： 你知己的朋友催逼你， 胜过你； 见 你的脚陷入淤泥中， 就转身退后了。
22‘Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say, “Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.”
23「人必将你的后妃和你的儿女带到 迦勒底 人那里；你也不得脱离他们的手，必被 巴比伦 王的手捉住；你也必使这城被火焚烧。」
23They will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. You won’t escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. You will cause this city to be burned with fire.’”
24西底家 对 耶利米 说：「不要使人知道这些话，你就不至于死。
24Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you won’t die.
25首领若听见了我与你说话，就来见你，问你说：『你对王说什么话不要向我们隐瞒，我们就不杀你。王向你说什么话也要告诉我们。』
25But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also tell us what the king said to you;’
26你就对他们说：『我在王面前恳求不要叫我回到 约拿单 的房屋死在那里。』」
26then you shall tell them, ‘I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”
27随后众首领来见 耶利米 ，问他，他就照王所吩咐的一切话回答他们。他们不再与他说话，因为事情没有泄漏。
27Then all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived.
28于是 耶利米 仍在护卫兵的院中，直到 耶路撒冷 被攻取的日子。
28So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
