耶利米書 40
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1耶利米 鎖在 耶路撒冷 和 猶大 被擄到 巴比倫 的人中，護衛長 尼布撒拉旦 將他從 拉瑪 釋放以後，耶和華的話臨到 耶利米 。
1The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were carried away captive to Babylon.
2護衛長將 耶利米 叫來，對他說：「耶和華－你的上帝曾說要降這禍與此地。
2The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God pronounced this evil on this place;
3耶和華使這禍臨到，照他所說的行了；因為你們得罪耶和華，沒有聽從他的話，所以這事臨到你們。
3and the LORD has brought it, and done according as he spoke. Because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come on you.
4現在我解開你手上的鍊子，你若看與我同往 巴比倫 去好，就可以去，我必厚待你；你若看與我同往 巴比倫 去不好，就不必去。看哪，全地在你面前，你以為哪裏美好，哪裏合宜，只管上那裏去吧！」
4Now, behold, I release you today from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, don’t. Behold, all the land is before you. Where it seems good and right to you to go, go there.”
5耶利米 還沒有回去， 護衛長說 ：「你可以回到 沙番 的孫子 亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 那裏去；現在 巴比倫 王立他作 猶大 城邑的省長。你可以在他那裏住在民中，不然，你看哪裏合宜就可以上那裏去。」於是護衛長送他糧食和禮物，釋放他去了。
5Now while he had not yet gone back, “Go back then,” he said, “to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.
6耶利米 就到 米斯巴 見 亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 ，在他那裏住在境內剩下的民中。
6Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and lived with him among the people who were left in the land.
7在田野的一切軍長和屬他們的人聽見 巴比倫 王立了 亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 作境內的省長，並將沒有擄到 巴比倫 的男人、婦女、孩童，和境內極窮的人全交給他。
7Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, women, children, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon,
8於是軍長 尼探雅 的兒子 以實瑪利 ， 加利亞 的兩個兒子 約哈難 和 約拿單 ， 單戶篾 的兒子 西萊雅 ，並 尼陀法 人 以斐 的眾子， 瑪迦 人的兒子 耶撒尼亞 和屬他們的人，都到 米斯巴 見 基大利 。
8then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men came to Gedaliah to Mizpah.
9沙番 的孫子 亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 向他們和屬他們的人起誓說：「不要怕服事 迦勒底 人，只管住在這地，服事 巴比倫 王，就可以得福。
9Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, “Don’t be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.
10至於我，我要住在 米斯巴 ，伺候那到我們這裏來的 迦勒底 人；只是你們當積蓄酒、油，和夏天的果子，收在器皿裏，住在你們所佔的城邑中。」
10As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who will come to us; but you, gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”
11在 摩押 地 和 亞捫 人中，在 以東 地 和各國的一切 猶大 人，聽見 巴比倫 王留下些 猶大 人，並立 沙番 的孫子 亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 管理他們。
11Likewise when all the Jews who were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,
12這一切 猶大 人就從所趕到的各處回來，到 猶大 地 米斯巴 的 基大利 那裏，又積蓄了許多的酒，並夏天的果子。
12then all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered very much wine and summer fruits.
13加利亞 的兒子 約哈難 和在田野的一切軍長來到 米斯巴 見 基大利 ，
13Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
14對他說：「 亞捫 人的王 巴利斯 打發 尼探雅 的兒子 以實瑪利 來要你的命，你知道嗎？」 亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 卻不信他們的話。
14and said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam didn’t believe them.
15加利亞 的兒子 約哈難 在 米斯巴 私下對 基大利 說：「求你容我去殺 尼探雅 的兒子 以實瑪利 ，必無人知道。何必讓他要你的命，使聚集到你這裏來的 猶大 人都分散，以致 猶大 剩下的人都滅亡呢？」
15Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, “Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man will know it. Why should he take your life, that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?”
16亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 對 加利亞 的兒子 約哈難 說：「你不可行這事，你所論 以實瑪利 的話是假的。」
16But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.”
