< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, —the same, was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar;
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 and, then, the forces of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, —and, Jeremiah the prophet, had been shut up in the guard-court, which was in the house of the king of Judah;
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 whom Zedekiah king of Judah, had shut up, saying, —Why art thou prophesying, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture 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, Zedekiah king of Judah! shall not be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, —for he shall be wholly given up, into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak—the mouth of the one to the mouth of the other, and the eyes of the one into the eyes of the other, shall look;
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 into Babylon, shall he lead Zedekiah and, there, shall he remain, until I visit him, Declareth Yahweh, —though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
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 Jeremiah said, —The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
耶利米说:“耶和华的话临到我说:
7 Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee saying, —Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption to buy it.
‘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 So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh into the guard-court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee my field that is in Anathoth which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption, —buy it for thyself. So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was.
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 field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, —and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the 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 in the scroll and sealed it, and took in attestation witnesses, —and weighed the silver 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 Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed—the title and the conditions—and that which was open;
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 gave the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle[’s son], and in the sight of the witnesses who subscribed the scroll of purchase, —in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the guard-court.
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 Then charged I Baruch in their sight saying:
当着他们众人眼前,我嘱咐巴录说:
14 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Take thou these scrolls, this scroll of purchase even that which is sealed, and this scroll that is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, —that they may remain 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel: Again, shall houses and fields and vineyards, be bought, 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 Then prayed I unto Yahweh, —after I had delivered the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah, 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! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm, —There is nothing, too wonderful for 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 Executing lovingkindness unto thousands, But recompensing the iniquity of fathers, into the bosom of their children, after them, Thou GOD, the great the mighty, Yahweh of hosts, is his 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 mighty in deed, —Whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give unto every one, According to his ways, and According to the fruit of his doings:
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 didst set signs and wonders, in the land of Egypt, unto this day, and in Israel and among mankind, —And didst make for thyself 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 didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of, Egypt, With signs and with wonders, and With a strong hand, and With an outstretched 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 didst give unto them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto 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 took possession of it But hearkened not unto thy voice Nor in thy law, did they walk, Nought of what thou hadst commanded them to do, did they do, —And so thou hast caused to befall them all this calamity.
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 Lo! the earthworks! they have entered the city, to capture it, And the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence, —And so what thou didst speak, hath come to pass, And there thou art looking on!
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 Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver And take in attestation, witnesses, —Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand 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 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Jeremiah, saying: —
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:
27 Lo! I, am Yahweh, God of all flesh, —For me, is any thing too wonderful?
“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 Yahweh, —Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture 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, who are fighting against this city, Shall enter, and Shall set this city on fire, and Shall consume it, —With the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Baal and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger;
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 sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been nothing but doers of wickedness in my sight from the days of their youth, —For the sons of Israel have been doing nothing but provoke me to anger by the workmanship of their hands, Declareth Yahweh;
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 According to mine anger, and According to mine indignation, hath been to me this city, from the day when they built it even unto this day, —that I should pull it down from before my face:
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 wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, 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 Thus have they turned unto me the back, and not the face, —Though I instructed them, betimes, instructing them, Yet have they not been hearkening, to receive correction;
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 But have set their abominations in the house on which my name hath been called, 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 have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing, —Causing, Judah, 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 Now therefore, because of this, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, —Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by 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 me! gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them—In mine anger and In mine indignation and In great vexation, —And I will cause them to return into this place, And will make them 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 become my people, —And, I, will become 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 revere me, all the days, —For the good of them and of 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 solemnise to them an age-abiding covenant, That I will not turn away from following them, to do them good, —But the reverence of myself, will I put in their heart, so that they shall not turn away 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, to do them good, —And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my 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 Yahweh, Like as I have brought upon this people all this great calamity, So, am I bringing upon them all the good that I am speaking concerning 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 Therefore shall fields be bought in this land, —whereof ye are saying, It is, a desolation, Without man or beast, It hath been given into the hand 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—for silver, shall men buy, And write in scrolls And seal them, And take in attestation, witnesses, In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, and In the cities of the hill country, and In the cities of the lowland and In the cities of the South, —For I will cause them of their captivity to return Declareth Yahweh.
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。”
