King James Version with Apocrypha
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD , after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.
1耶利米 锁在 耶路撒冷 和 犹大 被掳到 巴比伦 的人中，护卫长 尼布撒拉旦 将他从 拉玛 释放以后，耶和华的话临到 耶利米 。
2And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
2护卫长将 耶利米 叫来，对他说：「耶和华—你的 神曾说要降这祸与此地。
3Now the LORD hath brought it , and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD , and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
3耶和华使这祸临到，照他所说的行了；因为你们得罪耶和华，没有听从他的话，所以这事临到你们。
4And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
4现在我解开你手上的链子，你若看与我同往 巴比伦 去好，就可以去，我必厚待你；你若看与我同往 巴比伦 去不好，就不必去。看哪，全地在你面前，你以为哪里美好，哪里合宜，只管上那里去吧！」
5Now while he was not yet gone back, he said , Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
5耶利米 还没有回去， 护卫长说 ：「你可以回到 沙番 的孙子 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 那里去；现在 巴比伦 王立他作 犹大 城邑的省长。你可以在他那里住在民中，不然，你看哪里合宜就可以上那里去。」于是护卫长送他粮食和礼物，释放他去了。
6Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
6耶利米 就到 米斯巴 见 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 ，在他那里住在境内剩下的民中。
7¶ Now when all the captains of the forces which 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 unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
7在田野的一切军长和属他们的人听见 巴比伦 王立了 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 作境内的省长，并将没有掳到 巴比伦 的男人、妇女、孩童，和境内极穷的人全交给他。
8Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even 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 a Maachathite, they and their men.
8于是军长 尼探雅 的儿子 以实玛利 ， 加利亚 的两个儿子 约哈难 和 约拿单 ， 单户篾 的儿子 西莱雅 ，并 尼陀法 人 以斐 的众子， 玛迦 人的儿子 耶撒尼亚 和属他们的人，都到 米斯巴 见 基大利 。
9And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
9沙番 的孙子 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 向他们和属他们的人起誓说：「不要怕服事 迦勒底 人，只管住在这地，服事 巴比伦 王，就可以得福。
10As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
10至于我，我要住在 米斯巴 ，伺候那到我们这里来的 迦勒底 人；只是你们当积蓄酒、油，和夏天的果子，收在器皿里，住在你们所占的城邑中。」
11Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that 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;
11在 摩押 地 和 亚扪 人中，在 以东 地 和各国的一切 犹大 人，听见 巴比伦 王留下些 犹大 人，并立 沙番 的孙子 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 管理他们。
12Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
12这一切 犹大 人就从所赶到的各处回来，到 犹大 地的 米斯巴 基大利 那里，又积蓄了许多的酒，并夏天的果子。
13¶ Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
13加利亚 的儿子 约哈难 和在田野的一切军长来到 米斯巴 见 基大利 ，
14And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
14对他说：「 亚扪 人的王 巴利斯 打发 尼探雅 的儿子 以实玛利 来要你的命，你知道吗？」 亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 却不信他们的话。
15Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
15加利亚 的儿子 约哈难 在 米斯巴 私下对 基大利 说：「求你容我去杀 尼探雅 的儿子 以实玛利 ，必无人知道。何必让他要你的命，使聚集到你这里来的 犹大 人都分散，以致 犹大 剩下的人都灭亡呢？」
16But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
16亚希甘 的儿子 基大利 对 加利亚 的儿子 约哈难 说：「你不可行这事，你所论 以实玛利 的话是假的。」
