< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord in the tenth year of Sedecias king of Juda: the same is eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor.
犹大王西底家第十年,就是尼布甲尼撒十八年,耶和华的话临到耶利米。
2 At that time the army of the king o Babylon besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremias the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Juda.
那时巴比伦王的军队围困耶路撒冷,先知耶利米囚在护卫兵的院内,在犹大王的宫中;
3 For Sedecias king of Juda had shut him up, saying: Why dost thou prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it?
因为犹大王西底家已将他囚禁,说:“你为什么预言说,耶和华如此说:‘我必将这城交在巴比伦王的手中,他必攻取这城。
4 And Sedecias king of Juda shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans: but he shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon: and he shall speak to him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes.
犹大王西底家必不能逃脱迦勒底人的手,定要交在巴比伦王的手中,要口对口彼此说话,眼对眼彼此相看。
5 And he shall lead Sedecias to Babylon: and he shall be there till I visit him, saith the Lord. But if you will fight against the Chaldeans, you shall have no success.
巴比伦王必将西底家带到巴比伦;西底家必住在那里,直到我眷顾他的时候。你们虽与迦勒底人争战,却不顺利。这是耶和华说的。’”
6 And Jeremias said: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
耶利米说:“耶和华的话临到我说:
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Sellum thy cousin shall come to thee, saying: Buy thee my field, which is in Anathoth, for it is thy right to buy it, being akin.
‘你叔叔沙龙的儿子哈拿篾必来见你,说:我在亚拿突的那块地,求你买来;因你买这地是合乎赎回之理。’”
8 And Hanameel my uncle’s son cam to me, according to the word of the to the entry of the prison, and said me: Buy my held, which is in in the land of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thins, and thou art next of kin to possess it. And I understood this was the word of the Lord.
我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾果然照耶和华的话来到护卫兵的院内,对我说:“我在便雅悯境内、亚拿突的那块地,求你买来;因你买来是合乎承受之理,是你当赎的。你为自己买来吧!”我—耶利米就知道这是耶和华的话。
9 And I bought the held of my uncle’s son, that is in Anathoth: and I weighed him the money, seven staters, and ten pieces of silver.
我便向我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾买了亚拿突的那块地,平了十七舍客勒银子给他。
10 And I wrote it in a book and sealed it, and took witnesses: and I weighed him the money in the balances.
我在契上画押,将契封缄,又请见证人来,并用天平将银子平给他。
11 And I took the deed of the purchase that was sealed, and the stipulations, and the ratifications with the seals that were on the outside.
我便将照例按规所立的买契,就是封缄的那一张和敞着的那一张,
12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neri the son of Maasias in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, and before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
当着我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾和画押作见证的人,并坐在护卫兵院内的一切犹大人眼前,交给玛西雅的孙子尼利亚的儿子巴录。
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying:
当着他们众人眼前,我嘱咐巴录说:
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take these writings, this deed of the purchase that is sealed up, and this deed that is open: and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
“万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:要将这封缄的和敞着的两张契放在瓦器里,可以存留多日。
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Houses, and fields, and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
因为万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:将来在这地必有人再买房屋、田地,和葡萄园。”
16 And after I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
我将买契交给尼利亚的儿子巴录以后,便祷告耶和华说:
17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, behold thou hast made heaven and earth by thy great power, and thy stretched out arm: no word shall be hard to thee:
“主耶和华啊,你曾用大能和伸出来的膀臂创造天地,在你没有难成的事。
18 Thou shewest mercy unto thousands, and returnest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: O most mighty, great, and powerful, the Lord of hosts is thy name.
你施慈爱与千万人,又将父亲的罪孽报应在他后世子孙的怀中,是至大全能的 神,万军之耶和华是你的名。
19 Great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought: whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of Adam, to render unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his devices.
谋事有大略,行事有大能,注目观看世人一切的举动,为要照各人所行的和他做事的结果报应他。
20 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even until this day, and in Israel, and amongst men, and hast made thee a name as at this day.
在埃及地显神迹奇事,直到今日在以色列和别人中间也是如此,使自己得了名声,正如今日一样。
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel, out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, and with great terror.
用神迹奇事和大能的手,并伸出来的膀臂与大可畏的事,领你的百姓以色列出了埃及。
22 And best given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.
将这地赐给他们,就是你向他们列祖起誓应许赐给他们流奶与蜜之地。
23 And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed not thy voice, and they walked not in thy law: and they did not any of those things that thou didst command them to do, and all these evils are come upon them.
他们进入这地得了为业,却不听从你的话,也不遵行你的律法;你一切所吩咐他们行的,他们一无所行,因此你使这一切的灾祸临到他们。
24 Behold works are built up against the city to take it: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken, is all come to pass, as thou thyself seest.
看哪,敌人已经来到,筑垒要攻取这城;城也因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫交在攻城的迦勒底人手中。你所说的话都成就了,你也看见了。
25 And sayest thou to me, O Lord God: Buy a field for money, and take witnesses, whereas the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans?
主耶和华啊,你对我说:要用银子为自己买那块地,又请见证人。其实这城已交在迦勒底人的手中了。”
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:
27 Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh: shall any thing be hard for me?
“我是耶和华,是凡有血气者的 神,岂有我难成的事吗?
28 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it.
耶和华如此说:我必将这城交付迦勒底人的手和巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手,他必攻取这城。
29 And the Chaldeans that fight against this city, shall come and set it on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they offered sacrifice to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath.
攻城的迦勒底人必来放火焚烧这城和其中的房屋。在这房屋上,人曾向巴力烧香,向别神浇奠,惹我发怒。
30 For the children of Israel, and the children of Juda, have continually done evil in my eyes from their youth: the children of Israel who even till now provoke me with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
以色列人和犹大人自从幼年以来,专行我眼中看为恶的事;以色列人尽以手所做的惹我发怒。这是耶和华说的。
31 For this city hath been to me a provocation and indignation from the day that they built it, until this day, in which it shall be taken out of my sight.
这城自从建造的那日直到今日,常惹我的怒气和忿怒,使我将这城从我面前除掉;
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel, and of the children of Juda, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
是因以色列人和犹大人一切的邪恶,就是他们和他们的君王、首领、祭司、先知,并犹大的众人,以及耶路撒冷的居民所行的,惹我发怒。
33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces: when I taught them early in the morning, and instructed them, and they would not hearken to receive instruction.
他们以背向我,不以面向我;我虽从早起来教训他们,他们却不听从,不受教训,
34 And they have set their idols in the house, in which my name is called upon, to defile it.
竟把可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中,污秽了这殿。
35 And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to consecrate their sons and their daughters to Moloch: which I commanded them not, neither entered it into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and cause Juda to sin.
他们在欣嫩子谷建筑巴力的邱坛,好使自己的儿女经火归摩洛;他们行这可憎的事,使犹大陷在罪里,这并不是我所吩咐的,也不是我心所起的意。”
36 And now, therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to this city, whereof you say that it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
现在论到这城,就是你们所说、已经因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫交在巴比伦王手中的,耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:
37 Behold I will gather them together out of all the lands to which I have cast them out in my anger, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation: and I will bring them again into this place, and will cause them to dwell securely.
“我在怒气、忿怒,和大恼恨中,将以色列人赶到各国。日后我必从那里将他们招聚出来,领他们回到此地,使他们安然居住。
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
他们要作我的子民,我要作他们的 神。
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all days: and that it may be well with them, and with their children after them.
我要使他们彼此同心同道,好叫他们永远敬畏我,使他们和他们后世的子孙得福乐,
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and will not cease to do them good: and I will give my fear in their heart, that they may not revolt from me.
又要与他们立永远的约,必随着他们施恩,并不离开他们,且使他们有敬畏我的心,不离开我。
41 And I will rejoice over them, when I shall do them good: and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with all my soul.
我必欢喜施恩与他们,要尽心尽意、诚诚实实将他们栽于此地。
42 For thus saith the Lord: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil: so will I bring upon them all the good that I now speak to them.
“因为耶和华如此说:我怎样使这一切大祸临到这百姓,我也要照样使我所应许他们的一切福乐都临到他们。
43 And fields shall be purchased in this land: whereof you say that it is desolate, because there remaineth neither man nor beast, and it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
你们说,这地是荒凉、无人民、无牲畜,是交付迦勒底人手之地。日后在这境内,必有人置买田地。
44 Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be written, and sealed, and witnesses shall be taken, in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, in the cities of Juda, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: for I will bring their captivity, saith the Lord.
在便雅悯地、耶路撒冷四围的各处、犹大的城邑、山地的城邑、高原的城邑,并南地的城邑,人必用银子买田地,在契上画押,将契封缄,请出见证人,因为我必使被掳的人归回。这是耶和华说的。”
