耶利米書 37
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1約西亞 的兒子 西底家 代替 約雅敬 的兒子 哥尼雅 為王，是 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 立在 猶大 地作王的。
1Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2但 西底家 和他的臣僕，並國中的百姓，都不聽從耶和華藉先知 耶利米 所說的話。
2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
3西底家 王打發 示利米雅 的兒子 猶甲 和祭司 瑪西雅 的兒子 西番雅 去見先知 耶利米 ，說：「求你為我們禱告耶和華－我們的上帝。」
3Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.”
4那時 耶利米 在民中出入，因為他們還沒有把他囚在監裏。
4Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
5法老的軍隊已經從 埃及 出來，那圍困 耶路撒冷 的 迦勒底 人聽見他們的風聲，就拔營離開 耶路撒冷 去了。
5Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6耶和華的話臨到先知 耶利米 說：
6Then the LORD’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
7「耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說： 猶大 王打發你們來求問我，你們要如此對他說：『那出來幫助你們法老的軍隊必回 埃及 本國去。
7“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
8迦勒底 人必再來攻打這城，並要攻取，用火焚燒。
8The Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
9耶和華如此說：你們不要自欺說「 迦勒底 人必定離開我們」，因為他們必不離開。
9“The LORD says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
10你們即便殺敗了與你們爭戰的 迦勒底 全軍，但剩下受傷的人也必各人從帳棚裏起來，用火焚燒這城。』」
10For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
11迦勒底 的軍隊因怕法老的軍隊，拔營離開 耶路撒冷 的時候，
11When the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12耶利米 就雜在民中出離 耶路撒冷 ，要往 便雅憫 地去，在那裏得自己的地業。
12then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
13他到了 便雅憫門 那裏，有守門官名叫 伊利雅 ，是 哈拿尼亞 的孫子、 示利米雅 的兒子，他就拿住先知 耶利米 ，說：「你是投降 迦勒底 人哪！」
13When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
14耶利米 說：「你這是謊話，我並不是投降 迦勒底 人。」 伊利雅 不聽他的話，就拿住他，解到首領那裏。
14Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15首領惱怒 耶利米 ，就打了他，將他囚在文士 約拿單 的房屋中，因為他們以這房屋當作監牢。
15The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
16耶利米 來到獄中，進入牢房，在那裏囚了多日。
16When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
17西底家 王打發人提出他來，在自己的宮內私下問他說：「從耶和華有甚麼話臨到沒有？」 耶利米 說：「有！」又說：「你必交在 巴比倫 王手中。」
17then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18耶利米 又對 西底家 王說：「我在甚麼事上得罪你，或你的臣僕，或這百姓，你竟將我囚在監裏呢？
18Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
19對你們預言 巴比倫 王必不來攻擊你們和這地的先知，現今在哪裏呢？
19Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
20主－我的王啊，求你現在垂聽，准我在你面前的懇求：不要使我回到文士 約拿單 的房屋中，免得我死在那裏。」
20Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
21於是， 西底家 王下令，他們就把 耶利米 交在護衛兵的院中，每天從餅舖街取一個餅給他，直到城中的餅用盡了。這樣， 耶利米 仍在護衛兵的院中。
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
