耶利米书 40
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1耶利米 锁在 耶路撒冷 和 犹大 被掳到 巴比伦 的人中，护卫长 尼布撒拉旦 将他从 拉玛 释放以后，耶和华的话临到 耶利米 。
1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had released him at Ramah, having found him bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon.
2护卫长将 耶利米 叫来，对他说：「耶和华—你的 神曾说要降这祸与此地。
2The captain of the guard found Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God decreed this disaster on this place,
3耶和华使这祸临到，照他所说的行了；因为你们得罪耶和华，没有听从他的话，所以这事临到你们。
3and now the LORD has fulfilled it; He has done just as He said. Because you people have sinned against the LORD and have not obeyed His voice, this thing has happened to you.
4现在我解开你手上的链子，你若看与我同往 巴比伦 去好，就可以去，我必厚待你；你若看与我同往 巴比伦 去不好，就不必去。看哪，全地在你面前，你以为哪里美好，哪里合宜，只管上那里去吧！」
4But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains that were on your wrists. If it pleases you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you. But if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, go no farther. Look, the whole land is before you. Wherever it seems good and right to you, go there.”
5耶利米 还没有回去， 护卫长说 ：「你可以回到 沙番 的孙子 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 那里去；现在 巴比伦 王立他作 犹大 城邑的省长。你可以在他那里住在民中，不然，你看哪里合宜就可以上那里去。」于是护卫长送他粮食和礼物，释放他去了。
5But before Jeremiah turned to go, Nebuzaradan added, “Return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people, or go anywhere else that seems right.” Then the captain of the guard gave him a ration and a gift and released him.
6耶利米 就到 米斯巴 见 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 ，在他那里住在境内剩下的民中。
6So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah and stayed with him among the people who were left in the land.
7在田野的一切军长和属他们的人听见 巴比伦 王立了 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 作境内的省长，并将没有掳到 巴比伦 的男人、妇女、孩童，和境内极穷的人全交给他。
7When all the commanders and men of the armies in the field heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land and that he had put him in charge of the men, women, and children who were the poorest of the land and had not been exiled to Babylon,
8于是军长 尼探雅 的儿子 以实玛利 ， 加利亚 的两个儿子 约哈难 和 约拿单 ， 单户篾 的儿子 西莱雅 ，并 尼陀法 人 以斐 的众子， 玛迦 人的儿子 耶撒尼亚 和属他们的人，都到 米斯巴 见 基大利 。
8they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maacathite—they and their men.
9沙番 的孙子 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 向他们和属他们的人起誓说：「不要怕服事 迦勒底 人，只管住在这地，服事 巴比伦 王，就可以得福。
9Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore an oath to them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.
10至于我，我要住在 米斯巴 ，伺候那到我们这里来的 迦勒底 人；只是你们当积蓄酒、油，和夏天的果子，收在器皿里，住在你们所占的城邑中。」
10As for me, I will stay in Mizpah to represent you before the Chaldeans who come to us. As for you, gather wine grapes, summer fruit, and oil, place them in your storage jars, and live in the cities you have taken.”
11在 摩押 地 和 亚扪 人中，在 以东 地 和各国的一切 犹大 人，听见 巴比伦 王留下些 犹大 人，并立 沙番 的孙子 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 管理他们。
11When all the Jews in Moab, Ammon, Edom, and all the other lands heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah and had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over them,
12这一切 犹大 人就从所赶到的各处回来，到 犹大 地的 米斯巴 基大利 那里，又积蓄了许多的酒，并夏天的果子。
12they all returned from all the places to which they had been banished and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah. And they gathered an abundance of wine grapes and summer fruit.
13加利亚 的儿子 约哈难 和在田野的一切军长来到 米斯巴 见 基大利 ，
13Meanwhile, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah
14对他说：「 亚扪 人的王 巴利斯 打发 尼探雅 的儿子 以实玛利 来要你的命，你知道吗？」 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 却不信他们的话。
14and said to him, “Are you aware that Baalis king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah son of Ahikam did not believe them.
15加利亚 的儿子 约哈难 在 米斯巴 私下对 基大利 说：「求你容我去杀 尼探雅 的儿子 以实玛利 ，必无人知道。何必让他要你的命，使聚集到你这里来的 犹大 人都分散，以致 犹大 剩下的人都灭亡呢？」
15Then Johanan son of Kareah spoke privately to Gedaliah at Mizpah. “Let me go and kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah,” he said. “No one will know it. Why should he take your life and scatter all the people of Judah who have gathered to you, so that the remnant of Judah would perish?”
16亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 对 加利亚 的儿子 约哈难 说：「你不可行这事，你所论 以实玛利 的话是假的。」
16But Gedaliah son of Ahikam said to Johanan son of Kareah, “Do not do such a thing! What you are saying about Ishmael is a lie.”
