< 耶利米书 32 >

1 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。
The worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the tenth yere of Zedekiah king of Iudah, which was the eightenth yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar.
2 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;
For then the King of Babels hoste besieged Ierusalem: And Ieremiah the Prophet was shutte vp in the court of the prison, which was in the King of Iudahs house.
3 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。
For Zedekiah King of Iudah had shut him vp, saying, Wherefore doest thou prophesie, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the handes of the King of Babel, and he shall take it?
4 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。
And Zedekiah the King of Iudah shall not escape out of the hande of the Caldeans, but shall surely be deliuered into the handes of the King of Babel, and shall speake with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall beholde his face,
5 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。’”
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babel, and there shall he be, vntil I visit him, saith ye Lord: though ye fight with the Caldeans, ye shall not prosper.
6 耶利米说:“耶和华的话临到我说:
And Ieremiah said, The word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
7 ‘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。’”
Beholde, Hanameel, the sonne of Shallum thine vncle, shall come vnto thee and say, Bye vnto thee my fielde, that is in Anathoth: for the title by kindred appertaineth vnto thee to bye it.
8 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。
So Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, came to mee in the court of the prison, according to the word of the Lord, and said vnto me, Bye my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the countrey of Beniamin: for the right of the possession is thine, and the purchase belongeth vnto thee: bye it for thee. Then I knewe that this was the worde of the Lord.
9 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。
And I bought the field of Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the siluer, euen seuen shekels, and tenne pieces of siluer.
10 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。
And I writ it in the booke and signed it, and tooke witnesses, and weighed him the siluer in the balances.
11 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,
So I tooke the booke of the possession, being sealed according to the Lawe, and custome, with the booke that was open,
12 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。
And I gaue the booke of the possession vnto Baruch the sonne of Neriah, the sonne of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine vncles sonne, and in the presence of the witnesses, written in the booke of the possession, before al the Iewes that sate in the court of the prison.
13 当着他们众人眼前,我嘱咐巴录说:
And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
14 “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。
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Take the writings, euen this booke of the possession, both that is sealed, and this booke that is open, and put them in an earthen vessell, that they may continue a long time.
15 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。”
For the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel saith thus, Houses and fieldes, and vineyardes shall be possessed againe in this land.
16 我将买契交给尼利亚的儿子巴录以后,便祷告耶和华说:
Now when I had deliuered the booke of the possession vnto Baruch, the sonne of Neriah, I prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
17 “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。
Ah Lord God, beholde, thou hast made the heauen and the earth by thy great power, and by thy stretched out arme, and there is nothing hard vnto thee.
18 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。
Thou shewest mercie vnto thousands, and recompensest the iniquitie of the fathers into the bosome of their children after them: O God the great and mightie, whose Name is ye Lord of hostes,
19 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。
Great in counsell, and mightie in worke, (for thine eyes are open vpon all the wayes of ye sonnes of men, to giue to euery one according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes)
20 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。
Which hast set signes and wonders in the land of Egypt vnto this day, and in Israel, and among all men, and hast made thee a Name, as appeareth this day,
21 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。
And hast brought thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signes, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, with a stretched out arme, and with great terrour,
22 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。
And hast giuen them this land, which thou diddest sweare to their fathers to giue them, euen a land, that floweth with milke and hony,
23 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。
And they came in, and possessed it, but they obeyed not thy voyce, neither walked in thy Law: all that thou commaundedst them to doe, they haue not done: therefore thou hast caused this whole plague to come vpon them.
24 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。
Beholde, the mounts, they are come into the citie to take it, and the citie is giuen into the hande of the Caldeans, that fight against it by meanes of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence, and what thou hast spoken, is come to passe, and beholde, thou seest it.
25 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。”
And thou hast sayd vnto me, O Lord God, Bye vnto thee the fielde for siluer, and take witnesses: for the citie shall be giuen into the hand of the Caldeans.
26 耶和华的话临到耶利米说:
Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Ieremiah, saying,
27 “我是耶和华,是凡有血气者的 神,岂有我难成的事吗?
Beholde, I am the LORD GOD of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
28 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。
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I wil giue this citie into the hand of the Caldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar, King of Babel, and he shall take it.
29 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。
And the Caldeans shall come and fight against this citie, and set fire on this citie and burne it, with the houses, vpon whose rouses they haue offred incense vnto Baal, and powred drinke offrings vnto other gods, to prouoke me vnto anger.
30 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。
For the children of Israel, and the children of Iudah haue surely done euill before me from their youth: for the children of Israel haue surely prouoked me to anger with the workes of their hands, saith the Lord.
31 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;
Therefore this citie hath bene vnto me as a prouocation of mine anger, and of my wrath, from the day, that they built it, euen vnto this day, that I should remoue it out of my sight,
32 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。
Because of all the euill of the children of Israel, and of the children of Iudah, which they haue done to prouoke mee to anger, euen they, their Kings, their Princes, their Priests, and their Prophets, and the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
33 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,
And they haue turned vnto me the backe and not the face: though I taught them rising vp earely, and instructing them, yet they were not obedient to receiue doctrine,
34 竟把可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中,污秽了这殿。
But they set their abominations in ye house (whereupon my Name was called) to defile it,
35 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。”
And they built the hie places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to cause their sonnes and their daughters to passe through the fire vnto Molech, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my minde, that they should doe such abomination, to cause Iudah to sinne.
36 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:
And nowe therefore, thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken, concerning this citie, whereof ye say, It shalbe deliuered into the hand of the King of Babel by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence,
37 “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。
Beholde, I will gather them out of all countreys, wherein I haue scattered them in mine anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation, and I wil bring them againe vnto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.
38 他们要作我的子民,我要作他们的 神。
And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
39 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,
And I wil giue them one heart and one way that they may feare me for euer for ye wealth of them, and of their children after them.
40 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。
And I wil make an euerlasting couenant with them, that I wil neuer turne away from them to doe them good, but I wil put my feare in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 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。
Yea, I wil delite in them to do them good, and I wil plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart, and with all my soule.
42 “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。
For thus sayth the Lord, Like as I haue brought all this great plague vpon this people, so wil I bring vpon them all the good that I haue promised them.
43 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。
And the fields shalbe possessed in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast, and shalbe giuen into the hand of the Caldeans.
44 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。”
Men shall buy fields for siluer, and make writings and seale them, and take witnesses in the land of Beniamin, and round about Ierusalem, and in the cities of Iudah, and in the cities of the mountaines, and in the cities of the plaine, and in the cities of the South: for I wil cause their captiuitie to returne, saith the Lord.
