Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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 which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, 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。」
2“Please inquire of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.”
3耶利米 對他們說：「你們當對 西底家 這樣說：
3Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah:
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。
4‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle 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；
5I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.
6又要擊打這城的居民，連人帶牲畜都必遭遇大瘟疫死亡。
6I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will 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。』
7Afterward,” says the LORD, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’
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。
8“You shall say to this people, ‘The LORD says: “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 who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.
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 on this city for evil, and not for good,” says the LORD. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’
11「至於 猶大 王的家，你們當聽耶和華的話。
11“Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear the LORD’s word:
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。
12House of David, the LORD says, ‘Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
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 am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says the LORD. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
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。」
14I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’”
