Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1先知 耶利米 從 耶路撒冷 寄信與被擄的祭司、先知，和眾民，並生存的長老，就是 尼布甲尼撒 從 耶路撒冷 擄到 巴比倫 去的。（
1Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremias, the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the ancients that were carried into captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
2這在 耶哥尼雅 王和太后、太監，並 猶大 、 耶路撒冷 的首領，以及工匠、鐵匠都離了 耶路撒冷 以後。）
2After that Jechonias the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Juda, and of Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the engravers were departed out of Jerusalem:
3他藉 沙番 的兒子 以利亞薩 和 希勒家 的兒子 基瑪利 的手寄去。他們二人是 猶大 王 西底家 打發往 巴比倫 去見 尼布甲尼撒 王的。
3By the hand of Elasa the son of Saphan, and Gamarias the son of Helcias, whom Sedecias king of Juda sent to Babylon to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, saying:
4信上說：「萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝對一切被擄去的（就是我使他們從 耶路撒冷 被擄到 巴比倫 的人）如此說：
4Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5你們要蓋造房屋，住在其中；栽種田園，吃其中所產的；
5Build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant orchards, and eat the fruit of them.
6娶妻生兒女，為你們的兒子娶妻，使你們的女兒嫁人，生兒養女。在那裏生養眾多，不致減少。
6Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters: and be ye multiplied there, and be not few in number.
7我所使你們被擄到的那城，你們要為那城求平安，為那城禱告耶和華；因為那城得平安，你們也隨着得平安。
7And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be carried away captives; and pray to the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall be your peace.
8萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：不要被你們中間的先知和占卜的誘惑，也不要聽信自己所做的夢；
8For thus saith the Lord of hoses the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners deceive you: and give no heed to your dreams which you dream:
9因為他們託我的名對你們說假預言，我並沒有差遣他們。這是耶和華說的。
9For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: and I have not sent them, saith the Lord.
10「耶和華如此說：為 巴比倫 所定的七十年滿了以後，我要眷顧你們，向你們成就我的恩言，使你們仍回此地。
10For thus saith the Lord: When the seventy years shall begin to be accomplished in Babylon, I will visit you: and I will perform my good word in your favour, to bring you again to this place.
11耶和華說：我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念，不是降災禍的意念，要叫你們末後有指望。
11For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of affliction, to give you an end and patience.
12你們要呼求我，禱告我，我就應允你們。
12And you shall call upon me, and you shall go: and you shall pray to me, and I will hear you.
13你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。
13You shall seek me, and shall And me: when you shall seek me with all your heart.
14耶和華說：我必被你們尋見，我也必使你們被擄的人歸回，將你們從各國中和我所趕你們到的各處招聚了來，又將你們帶回我使你們被擄掠離開的地方。這是耶和華說的。
14And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away captive.
15「你們說：『耶和華在 巴比倫 為我們興起先知』；
15Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon:
16所以耶和華論到坐 大衛 寶座的王和住在這城裏的一切百姓，就是未曾與你們一同被擄的弟兄，
16For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
17萬軍之耶和華如此說：『看哪，我必使刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫臨到他們，使他們像極壞的無花果，壞得不可吃。
17Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will send upon them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and I will make them like bad figs that cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
18我必用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫追趕他們，使他們在天下萬國拋來拋去，在我所趕他們到的各國中，令人咒詛、驚駭、嗤笑、羞辱。
18And I will persecute them with the sword, and with famine, and pith the pestilence: and I will give them up unto affliction to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach to all the nations to which I have driven them out:
19耶和華說：這是因為他們沒有聽從我的話，就是我從早起來差遣我僕人眾先知去說的，無奈他們不聽。這是耶和華說的。
19Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord: which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising by night, and sending: and you have not heard, saith the Lord.
20所以你們一切被擄去的，就是我從 耶路撒冷 打發到 巴比倫 去的，當聽耶和華的話。』」
20Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent out from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝論到 哥賴雅 的兒子 亞哈 ，並 瑪西雅 的兒子 西底家 ，如此說：「他們是託我名向你們說假預言的，我必將他們交在 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 的手中；他要在你們眼前殺害他們。
21Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to Achab the son of Colias, and to Sedecias the son of Maasias, who prophesy unto you in my name falsely: Behold I will deliver them up into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon: and he shall kill them before your eyes.
22住 巴比倫 一切被擄的 猶大 人必藉這二人賭咒說：『願耶和華使你像 巴比倫 王在火中燒的 西底家 和 亞哈 一樣。』
22And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Juda, that are in Babylon, saying: The Lord make thee like Sedecias, and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire:
23這二人是在 以色列 中行了醜事，與鄰舍的妻行淫，又假託我名說我未曾吩咐他們的話。知道的是我，作見證的也是我。這是耶和華說的。」
23Because they have acted folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I commanded them not: I am the judge and the witness, saith the Lord.
24「論到 尼希蘭 人 示瑪雅 ，你當說，
24And to Semeias the Nehelamite thou shalt say:
25萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：你曾用自己的名寄信給 耶路撒冷 的眾民和祭司 瑪西雅 的兒子 西番雅 ，並眾祭司，說：
25Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
26『耶和華已經立你 西番雅 為祭司，代替祭司 耶何耶大 ，使耶和華殿中有官長，好將一切狂妄自稱為先知的人用枷枷住，用鎖鎖住。
26The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Joiada the priest, that thou shouldst be ruler in the house of the Lord, over every man that raveth and prophesieth, to put him in the stocks, and into prison.
27現在 亞拿突 人 耶利米 向你們自稱為先知，你們為何沒有責備他呢？
27And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremias the Anathothite, who prophesieth to you?
28因為他寄信給我們在 巴比倫 的人說： 被擄的事 必長久。你們要蓋造房屋，住在其中；栽種田園，吃其中所產的。』」
28For he hath also sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time: build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
29祭司 西番雅 就把這信念給先知 耶利米 聽。
29So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremias the prophet.
30於是耶和華的話臨到 耶利米 說：
30And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
31「你當寄信給一切被擄的人說：『耶和華論到 尼希蘭 人 示瑪雅 說：因為 示瑪雅 向你們說預言，我並沒有差遣他，他使你們倚靠謊言；
31Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the Lord to Semeias the Nehelamite: Because Semeias hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not: and hath caused you to trust in a lie:
32所以耶和華如此說：我必刑罰 尼希蘭 人 示瑪雅 和他的後裔，他必無一人存留住在這民中，也不得見我所要賜與我百姓的福樂，因為他向耶和華說了叛逆的話。這是耶和華說的。』」
32Therefore thus saith the Lord: behold I will visit upon Semeias the Nehelamite, and upon his seed: he shall not have a man to sit in the midst of this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, saith the Lord: because he hath spoken treason against the Lord.
