Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said the Lord, Goe downe to the house of the King of Iudah, and speake there this thing,
耶和华如此说：“你下到犹大王的宫中，在那里说这话，
2 And say, Heare the worde of the Lord, O King of Iudah, that sittest vpon the throne of Dauid, thou and thy seruants, and thy people that enter in by these gates.
说：‘坐大卫宝座的犹大王啊，你和你的臣仆，并进入城门的百姓，都当听耶和华的话。
3 Thus saith the Lord, Execute ye iudgement and righteousnes, and deliuer the oppressed from the hande of the oppressor, and vexe not the stranger, the fatherlesse, nor the widowe: doe no violence, nor sheade innocent blood in this place.
耶和华如此说：你们要施行公平和公义，拯救被抢夺的脱离欺压人的手，不可亏负寄居的和孤儿寡妇，不可以强暴待他们，在这地方也不可流无辜人的血。
4 For if ye do this thing, then shall the kings sitting vpon the throne of Dauid enter in by the gates of this House, and ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both he and his seruants and his people.
你们若认真行这事，就必有坐大卫宝座的君王和他的臣仆百姓，或坐车或骑马，从这城的各门进入。
5 But if ye will not heare these wordes, I sweare by my selfe, saith the Lord, that this House shalbe waste.
你们若不听这些话，耶和华说：我指着自己起誓，这城必变为荒场。’
6 For thus hath the Lord spoken vpon the Kings house of Iudah, Thou art Gilead vnto me, and the head of Lebanon, yet surely I wil make thee a wildernes and as cities not inhabited,
耶和华论到犹大王的家如此说： 我看你如基列， 如黎巴嫩顶； 然而，我必使你变为旷野， 为无人居住的城邑。
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, euery one with his weapons, and they shall cut downe thy chiefe cedar trees, and cast them in the fire.
我要预备行毁灭的人， 各拿器械攻击你； 他们要砍下你佳美的香柏树， 扔在火中。
8 And many nations shall passe by this citie, and they shall say euery man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this great citie?
“许多国的民要经过这城，各人对邻舍说：‘耶和华为何向这大城如此行呢？’
9 Then shall they answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and serued them.
他们必回答说：‘是因离弃了耶和华—他们 神的约，事奉敬拜别神。’”
10 Weepe not for the dead, and be not moued for them, but weepe for him that goeth out: for he shall returne no more, nor see his natiue countrey.
不要为死人哭号； 不要为他悲伤， 却要为离家出外的人大大哭号； 因为他不得再回来， 也不得再见他的本国。
11 For thus saith ye Lord, As touching Shallum the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, which reigned for Iosiah his father, which went out of this place, he shall not returne thither,
因为耶和华论到从这地方出去的犹大王约西亚的儿子沙龙，就是接续他父亲约西亚作王的，这样说：“他必不得再回到这里来，
12 But he shall die in the place, whither they haue ledde him captiue, and shall see this lande no more.
却要死在被掳去的地方，必不得再见这地。”
13 Wo vnto him that buildeth his house by vnrighteousnesse, and his chambers without equitie: he vseth his neighbour without wages, and giueth him not for his worke.
那行不义盖房、行不公造楼、 白白使用人的手工不给工价的有祸了！
14 He saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers: so he will make him selfe large windowes, and feeling with cedar, and paint them with vermilion.
他说：我要为自己盖广大的房、宽敞的楼， 为自己开窗户。 这楼房的护墙板是香柏木的， 楼房是丹色油漆的。
15 Shalt thou reigne, because thou closest thy selfe in cedar? did not thy father eate and drinke and prosper, when he executed iudgement and iustice?
难道你作王是在乎造香柏木楼房争胜吗？ 你的父亲岂不是也吃也喝、 也施行公平和公义吗？ 那时他得了福乐。
16 When he iudged the cause of the afflicted and the poore, he prospered: was not this because he knewe me, saith the Lord?
他为困苦和穷乏人伸冤， 那时就得了福乐。 认识我不在乎此吗？ 这是耶和华说的。
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy couetousnesse, and for to sheade innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, euen to doe this.
惟有你的眼和你的心专顾贪婪， 流无辜人的血， 行欺压和强暴。
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord against Iehoiakim, the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, They shall not lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah, sister: neither shall they mourne for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glorie.
所以，耶和华论到犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬如此说： 人必不为他举哀说： 哀哉！我的哥哥； 或说：哀哉！我的姐姐； 也不为他举哀说： 哀哉！我的主； 或说：哀哉！我主的荣华。
19 He shalbe buryed, as an asse is buryed, euen drawen and cast foorth without the gates of Ierusalem.
他被埋葬，好像埋驴一样， 要拉出去扔在耶路撒冷的城门之外。
20 Goe vp to Lebanon, and cry: showte in Bashan and crye by the passages: for all thy louers are destroyed.
你要上黎巴嫩哀号， 在巴珊扬声， 从亚巴琳哀号， 因为你所亲爱的都毁灭了。
21 I spake vnto thee when thou wast in prosperitie: but thou saidest, I will not heare: this hath bene thy maner from thy youth, that thou wouldest not obey my voyce.
你兴盛的时候，我对你说话； 你却说：我不听。 你自幼年以来总是这样， 不听从我的话。
22 The wind shall feede all thy pastors, and thy louers shall goe into captiuitie: and then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded of al thy wickednesse.
你的牧人要被风吞吃， 你所亲爱的必被掳去； 那时你必因你一切的恶抱愧蒙羞。
23 Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the cedars, howe beautiful shalt thou be when sorowes come vpon thee, as the sorowe of a woman in trauaile?
你这住黎巴嫩、在香柏树上搭窝的， 有痛苦临到你， 好像疼痛临到产难的妇人， 那时你何等可怜！
24 As I liue, saith the Lord, though Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, were the signet of my right hand, yet would I plucke thee thence.
耶和华说：“犹大王约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅，虽是我右手上带印的戒指，我凭我的永生起誓，也必将你从其上摘下来，
25 And I will giue thee into the hande of them that seeke thy life, and into the hande of them, whose face thou fearest, euen into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and into the hande of the Caldeans.
并且我必将你交给寻索你命的人和你所惧怕的人手中，就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和迦勒底人的手中。
26 And I will cause them to cary thee away, and thy mother that bare thee, into another countrey, where ye were not borne, and there shall ye die.
我也必将你和生你的母亲赶到别国，并不是你们生的地方；你们必死在那里，
27 But to the lande, whereunto they desire to returne, they shall not returne thither.
但心中甚想归回之地，必不得归回。”
28 Is not this man Coniah as a despised and broken idole? or as a vessell, wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they caryed away, hee and his seede, and cast out into a lande that they knowe not?
哥尼雅这人是被轻看、破坏的器皿吗？ 是无人喜爱的器皿吗？ 他和他的后裔为何被赶到不认识之地呢？
29 O earth, earth, earth, heare the worde of the Lord.
地啊，地啊，地啊，当听耶和华的话！
30 Thus saith the Lord, Write this man destitute of children, a man that shall not prosper in his dayes: for there shall be no man of his seede that shall prosper and sit vpon the throne of Dauid, or beare rule any more in Iudah.
耶和华如此说： 要写明这人算为无子， 是平生不得亨通的； 因为他后裔中再无一人得亨通， 能坐在大卫的宝座上治理犹大。
