Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
1玛坦 的儿子 示法提雅 、 巴施户珥 的儿子 基大利 、 示利米雅 的儿子 犹甲 、 玛基雅 的儿子 巴施户珥 听见 耶利米 对众人所说的话，说：
2Thus saith the LORD , He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
2「耶和华如此说：住在这城里的必遭刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死；但出去归降 迦勒底 人的必得存活，就是以自己命为掠物的，必得存活。
3Thus saith the LORD , This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which shall take it.
3耶和华如此说：这城必要交在 巴比伦 王军队的手中，他必攻取这城。」
4Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
4于是首领对王说：「求你将这人治死；因他向城里剩下的兵丁和众民说这样的话，使他们的手发软。这人不是求这百姓得平安，乃是叫他们受灾祸。」
5Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.
5西底家 王说：「他在你们手中，无论何事，王也不能与你们反对。」
6Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
6他们就拿住 耶利米 ，下在 哈米勒 的儿子 玛基雅 的牢狱里；那牢狱在护卫兵的院中。他们用绳子将 耶利米 系下去。牢狱里没有水，只有淤泥， 耶利米 就陷在淤泥中。
7¶ Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
7在王宫的太监 古实 人 以伯·米勒 ，听见他们将 耶利米 下了牢狱（那时王坐在 便雅悯门 口），
8Ebed-melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spake to the king, saying,
8以伯·米勒 就从王宫里出来，对王说：
9My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
9「主—我的王啊，这些人向先知 耶利米 一味地行恶，将他下在牢狱中；他在那里必因饥饿而死，因为城中再没有粮食。」
10Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
10王就吩咐 古实 人 以伯·米勒 说：「你从这里带领三十人，趁着先知 耶利米 未死以前，将他从牢狱中提上来。」
11So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
11于是 以伯·米勒 带领这些人同去，进入王宫，到库房以下，从那里取了些碎布和破烂的衣服，用绳子缒下牢狱去到 耶利米 那里。
12And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
12古实 人 以伯·米勒 对 耶利米 说：「你用这些碎布和破烂的衣服放在绳子上，垫你的胳肢窝。」 耶利米 就照样行了。
13So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
13这样，他们用绳子将 耶利米 从牢狱里拉上来。 耶利米 仍在护卫兵的院中。
14¶ Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD : and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
14西底家 王打发人带领先知 耶利米 ，进耶和华殿中第三门里见王。王就对 耶利米 说：「我要问你一件事，你丝毫不可向我隐瞒。」
15Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
15耶利米 对 西底家 说：「我若告诉你，你岂不定要杀我吗？我若劝戒你，你必不听从我。」
16So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
16西底家 王就私下向 耶利米 说：「我指着那造我们生命之永生的耶和华起誓：我必不杀你，也不将你交在寻索你命的人手中。」
17Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD , the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
17耶利米 对 西底家 说：「耶和华—万军之 神、 以色列 的 神如此说：你若出去归降 巴比伦 王的首领，你的命就必存活，这城也不致被火焚烧，你和你的全家都必存活。
18But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
18你若不出去归降 巴比伦 王的首领，这城必交在 迦勒底 人手中。他们必用火焚烧，你也不得脱离他们的手。」
19And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
19西底家 王对 耶利米 说：「我怕那些投降 迦勒底 人的 犹大 人，恐怕 迦勒底 人将我交在他们手中，他们戏弄我。」
20But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee . Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD , which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
20耶利米 说：「 迦勒底 人必不将你交出。求你听从我对你所说耶和华的话，这样你必得好处，你的命也必存活。
21But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me:
21你若不肯出去，耶和华指示我的话乃是这样：
22And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
22犹大 王宫里所剩的妇女必都带到 巴比伦 王的首领那里。这些妇女必说： 你知己的朋友催逼你， 胜过你； 见 你的脚陷入淤泥中， 就转身退后了。
23So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
23「人必将你的后妃和你的儿女带到 迦勒底 人那里；你也不得脱离他们的手，必被 巴比伦 王的手捉住；你也必使这城被火焚烧。」
24¶ Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
24西底家 对 耶利米 说：「不要使人知道这些话，你就不至于死。
25But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
25首领若听见了我与你说话，就来见你，问你说：『你对王说什么话不要向我们隐瞒，我们就不杀你。王向你说什么话也要告诉我们。』
26Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.
26你就对他们说：『我在王面前恳求不要叫我回到 约拿单 的房屋死在那里。』」
27Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
27随后众首领来见 耶利米 ，问他，他就照王所吩咐的一切话回答他们。他们不再与他说话，因为事情没有泄漏。
28So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
28于是 耶利米 仍在护卫兵的院中，直到 耶路撒冷 被攻取的日子。
