耶利米書 27
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1猶大 王 約西亞 的兒子 約雅敬 登基的時候,有這話從耶和華臨到 耶利米 說:
1At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
2「耶和華對我如此說:你做繩索與軛,加在自己的頸項上,
2This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.
3藉那些來到 耶路撒冷 見 猶大 王 西底家 的使臣之手,把繩索與軛送到 以東 王、 摩押 王、 亞捫 王、 泰爾 王、 西頓 王那裏,
3Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
4且囑咐使臣,傳與他們的主人說,萬軍之耶和華- 以色列 的上帝如此說:
4Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:
5我用大能和伸出來的膀臂,創造大地和地上的人民、牲畜。我看給誰相宜,就把地給誰。
5By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.
6現在我將這些地都交給我僕人 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 的手,我也將田野的走獸給他使用。
6So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.
7列國都必服事他和他的兒孫,直到他本國 遭報 的日期來到。那時,多國和大君王要使他作他們的奴僕。
7All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.
8「無論哪一邦哪一國,不肯服事這 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 ,也不把頸項放在 巴比倫 王的軛下,我必用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫刑罰那邦,直到我藉 巴比倫 王的手將他們毀滅。這是耶和華說的。
8As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.
9至於你們,不可聽從你們的先知和占卜的、圓夢的、觀兆的,以及行邪術的;他們告訴你們說:『你們不致服事 巴比倫 王。』
9But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
10他們向你們說假預言,要叫你們遷移,遠離本地,以致我將你們趕出去,使你們滅亡。
10For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.
11但哪一邦肯把頸項放在 巴比倫 王的軛下服事他,我必使那邦仍在本地存留,得以耕種居住。這是耶和華說的。」
11But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”
12我就照這一切的話對猶大王 西底家 說:「要把你們的頸項放在 巴比倫 王的軛下,服事他和他的百姓,便得存活。
12And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
13你和你的百姓為何要因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫死亡,正如耶和華論到不服事 巴比倫 王的那國說的話呢?
13Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14不可聽那些先知對你們所說的話;他們說:『你們不致服事 巴比倫 王』,其實他們向你們說假預言。
14Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.
15耶和華說:『我並沒有打發他們,他們卻託我的名說假預言,好使我將你們和向你們說預言的那些先知趕出去,一同滅亡。』」
15For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16我又對祭司和這眾民說:「耶和華如此說:你們不可聽那先知對你們所說的預言。他們說:『耶和華殿中的器皿快要從 巴比倫 帶回來』;其實他們向你們說假預言。
16Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.
17不可聽從他們,只管服事 巴比倫 王便得存活。這城何致變為荒場呢?
17Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
18他們若果是先知,有耶和華的話臨到他們,讓他們祈求萬軍之耶和華,使那在耶和華殿中和 猶大 王宮內,並 耶路撒冷 剩下的器皿,不被帶到 巴比倫 去。(
18If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
19因為萬軍之耶和華論到柱子、 銅 海、 盆 座,並剩在這城裏的器皿,
19For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,
20就是 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 擄掠 猶大 王 約雅敬 的兒子 耶哥尼雅 ,和 猶大 、 耶路撒冷 一切貴冑的時候所沒有掠去的器皿。)
20which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21論到那在耶和華殿中和 猶大 王宮內,並 耶路撒冷 剩下的器皿,萬軍之耶和華- 以色列 的上帝如此說:
21Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
22必被帶到 巴比倫 存在那裏,直到我眷顧 以色列 人的日子。那時,我必將這器皿帶回來,交還此地。這是耶和華說的。」
22‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”
