Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then all the captains of the warriors, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Jezonias the son of Osaias, and the rest of the people from the least to the greatest came near:
1眾軍長和 加利亞 的兒子 約哈難 ，並 何沙雅 的兒子 耶撒尼亞 以及眾百姓，從最小的到至大的都進前來，
2And they said to Jeremias the prophet: Let our supplication fall before thee: and pray thou for us to the Lord thy God for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us.
2對先知 耶利米 說：「求你准我們在你面前祈求，為我們這剩下的人禱告耶和華－你的上帝。我們本來眾多，現在剩下的極少，這是你親眼所見的。
3And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and the thing that we must do.
3願耶和華－你的上帝指示我們所當走的路，所當做的事。」
4And Jeremias the prophet said to them: I have heard you: behold I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever thing he shall answer me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide nothing from you.
4先知 耶利米 對他們說：「我已經聽見你們了，我必照着你們的話禱告耶和華－你們的上帝。耶和華無論回答甚麼，我必都告訴你們，毫不隱瞞。」
5And they said to Jeremias: The Lord be witness between us of truth and faithfulness, if we do not according to every thing for which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us.
5於是他們對 耶利米 說：「我們若不照耶和華－你的上帝差遣你來說的一切話行，願耶和華在我們中間作真實誠信的見證。
6Whether it be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom me send thee: that it may be well with us when we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
6我們現在請你到耶和華－我們的上帝面前，他說的無論是好是歹，我們都必聽從；我們聽從耶和華－我們上帝的話，就可以得福。」
7Now after ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
7過了十天，耶和華的話臨到 耶利米 。
8And he called Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.
8他就將 加利亞 的兒子 約哈難 和同着他的眾軍長，並眾百姓，從最小的到至大的都叫了來，
9And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him:
9對他們說：「耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝，就是你們請我在他面前為你們祈求的 主 ，如此說：
10If you will be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you up, and not pull you down: I will plane you, and not pluck you up: for now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you.
10『你們若仍住在這地，我就建立你們，必不拆毀，栽植你們，並不拔出，因我為降與你們的災禍後悔了。
11Fear not because of the king of Babylon, of whom you are greatly afraid: fear him not, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
11不要怕你們所怕的 巴比倫 王。』」耶和華說：「不要怕他！因為我與你們同在，要拯救你們脫離他的手。
12And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in your own land.
12我也要使他發憐憫，好憐憫你們，叫你們歸回本地。
13But if you say: We will not dwell in this land, neither will we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God,
13倘若你們說：『我們不住在這地』，以致不聽從耶和華－你們上帝的話，
14Saying: No, but we will go into the land of Egypt: where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor suffer hunger: and there we will dwell.
14說：『我們不住這地，卻要進入 埃及 地，在那裏看不見爭戰，聽不見角聲，也不致無食飢餓。我們必住在那裏。』
15For this now hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Juda: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to go into Egypt, and enter in to dwell there:
15你們所剩下的 猶大 人哪，現在要聽耶和華的話。萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：『你們若定意要進入 埃及 ，在那裏寄居，
16The sword which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt: and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall cleave to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.
16你們所懼怕的刀劍在 埃及 地必追上你們！你們所懼怕的饑荒在 埃及 要緊緊地跟隨你們！你們必死在那裏！
17And all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt, to dwell there, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of them shall remain, nor escape from the face of the evil that I will bring upon them.
17凡定意要進入 埃及 在那裏寄居的必遭刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫而死，無一人存留，逃脫我所降與他們的災禍。』
18For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place no more.
18「萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：『我怎樣將我的怒氣和忿怒傾在 耶路撒冷 的居民身上，你們進入 埃及 的時候，我也必照樣將我的忿怒傾在你們身上，以致你們令人辱罵、驚駭、咒詛、羞辱，你們不得再見這地方。』
19This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this day.
19所剩下的 猶大 人哪，耶和華論到你們說：『不要進入 埃及 去。』你們要確實地知道我今日警教你們了。
20For you have deceived your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
20你們行詭詐自害；因為你們請我到耶和華－你們的上帝那裏，說：『求你為我們禱告耶和華－我們上帝，照耶和華－我們的上帝一切所說的告訴我們，我們就必遵行。』
21And now I have declared it to you this day, and; you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to you.
21我今日將這話告訴你們，耶和華－你們的上帝為你們的事差遣我到你們那裏說的，你們卻一樣沒有聽從。
22Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there.
22現在你們要確實地知道，你們在所要去寄居之地必遭刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫而死。」
