耶利米書 21
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1耶和華的話臨到 耶利米 。那時， 西底家 王打發 瑪基雅 的兒子 巴施戶珥 和 瑪西雅 的兒子祭司 西番雅 去見 耶利米 ，說：
1The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, when king Sedecias sent unto him Phassur, the son of Melchias, and Sophonias, the son of Maasias the priest, saying:
2「請你為我們求問耶和華；因為 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 來攻擊我們，或者耶和華照他一切奇妙的作為待我們，使 巴比倫 王離開我們上去。」
2Inquire of the Lord for us, for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon maketh war against us: if so be the Lord will deal with us according to all his wonderful works, that he may depart from us.
3耶利米 對他們說：「你們當對 西底家 這樣說：
3And Jeremias said to them: Thus shall you say to Sedecias:
4『耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：我要使你們手中的兵器，就是你們在城外與 巴比倫 王和圍困你們的 迦勒底 人打仗的兵器翻轉過來，又要使這些都聚集在這城中。
4Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans, that besiege you round about the walls: and I will gather them together in the midst of this city.
5並且我要在怒氣、忿怒，和大惱恨中，用伸出來的手，並大能的膀臂，親自攻擊你們；
5And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, and in fury, and in indignation, and in great wrath.
6又要擊打這城的居民，連人帶牲畜都必遭遇大瘟疫死亡。
6And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, men and beasts shall die of a great pestilence.
7以後我要將 猶大 王 西底家 和他的臣僕百姓，就是在城內，從瘟疫、刀劍、饑荒中剩下的人，都交在 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 的手中和他們仇敵，並尋索其命的人手中。 巴比倫 王必用刀擊殺他們，不顧惜，不可憐，不憐憫。這是耶和華說的。』
7And after this, saith the Lord, I will give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his servants, and his people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, and the sword, and the famine, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword, and he shall not be moved to pity, nor spare them, nor shew mercy on them.
8「你要對這百姓說：『耶和華如此說：看哪，我將生命的路和死亡的路擺在你們面前。
8And to this people thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9住在這城裏的必遭刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫而死；但出去歸降圍困你們 迦勒底 人的必得存活，要以自己的命為掠物。
9He that shall abide in this city, shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that shall go out and flee over to the Chaldeans, that besiege you, shall live, and his life shall be to him as a spoil.
10耶和華說：我向這城變臉，降禍不降福；這城必交在 巴比倫 王的手中，他必用火焚燒。』」
10For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11「至於 猶大 王的家，你們當聽耶和華的話。
11And to the house of the king of Juda: Hear ye the word of the Lord,
12大衛 家啊，耶和華如此說： 你們每早晨要施行公平， 拯救被搶奪的脫離欺壓人的手， 恐怕我的忿怒因你們的惡行發作， 如火着起，甚至無人能以熄滅。
12O house of David, this saith the Lord: Judge ye judgement in the morning, and deliver him that is oppressed by violence out of the hand of the oppressor: lest my indignation go forth like a fire, and be kindled, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your ways.
13耶和華說：住山谷和平原磐石上的居民， 你們說：誰能下來攻擊我們？ 誰能進入我們的住處呢？ 看哪，我與你們為敵。
13Behold I come to thee that dwellest in a valley upon a rock above a plain, saith the Lord: and you say: Who shall strike us? and who shall enter into our houses?
14耶和華又說： 我必按你們做事的結果刑罰你們； 我也必使火在 耶路撒冷 的林中着起， 將她四圍所有的盡行燒滅。」
14But I will visit upon you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof: and it shall devour all things round about it.
