Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda.
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。
2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land did obey the words of the Lord, that he spoke in the hand of Jeremias the prophet.
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。
3And king Sedecias sent Juchal the son of Selemias, and Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest to Jeremias the prophet, saying: Pray to the Lord our God for us.
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。」
4Now Jeremias walked freely in the midst of the people: for they had not as yet cast him into prison. And the army of Pharao was come out of Egypt: and the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem, hearing these tidings, departed from Jerusalem.
4那時 耶利米 在民中出入，因為他們還沒有把他囚在監裏。
5And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, saying:
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。
6Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Juda, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold the army of Pharao, which is come forth to help you, shall return into their own land, into Egypt.
6耶和華的話臨到先知 耶利米 說：
7And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
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。
8Thus saith the Lord: Deceive not your souls, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart and go away from us: for they shall not go away;
8迦勒底 人必再來攻打這城，並要攻取，用火焚燒。
9But if you should even beat all the army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left of them some wounded men: they shall rise up, every man from his tent, and burn this city with Are.
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。
10Now when the army of the Chaldeans was gone away from Jerusalem, because of Pharao’s army,
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。』」
11Jeremias went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin: and to divide a possession there in the presence of the citizens.
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，
12And when he was come to the gate of Benjamin, the captain of the gate, who I was there in his turn, was one named Jerias, the son of Selemias, the son of Hananias: and he took hold of Jeremias the prophet, saying: Thou art fleeing to the Chaldeans.
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。
13And Jeremias answered: It is not so, I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Jerias took Jeremias and brought him to the princes.
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！」
14Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremias, and they beat him, and cast him into the prison that was in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for he was chief over the prison.
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。
15So Jeremias went into the house of the prison, and into the dungeon: and Jeremias remained there many days.
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。
16Then Sedecias the king, sending, took him: and asked him secretly in his house, and said: Is there, thinkest thou, any word from the Lord? And Jeremias said: There is. And he said: Thou shalt be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.
16耶利米 來到獄中，進入牢房，在那裏囚了多日。
17And Jeremias said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into prison?
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。」
18Where are your prophets that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against this land?
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？
19Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
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？
20Then king Sedecias commanded that Jeremias should be committed into the entry of the prison: and that they should give him daily a piece of bread, beside broth, till all the bread in the city were spent: and Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison.
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。」

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。
