Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
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.
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 。
2The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God pronounced this evil on 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。
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.
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。
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.”
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 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.
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 Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and lived with him among the people who 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。
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,
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 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.
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 。
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.
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 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.”
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 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,
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。
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.
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。
13Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who 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 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.
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 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?”
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 to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak 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。」
