耶利米书 35
1 当犹大王约西亚之子约雅敬的时候，耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Sedekias king of Juda, in the fifth month, [that] Ananias the false prophet, the son of Azor, from Gabaon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,
2 “你去见利甲族的人，和他们说话，领他们进入耶和华殿的一间屋子，给他们酒喝。”
Thus says the Lord; I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 我就将哈巴洗尼雅的孙子雅利米雅的儿子雅撒尼亚和他弟兄，并他众子，以及利甲全族的人，
Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of the house of the Lord,
4 领到耶和华的殿，进入神人伊基大利的儿子哈难众子的屋子。那屋子在首领的屋子旁边，在沙龙之子把门的玛西雅屋子以上。
and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5 于是我在利甲族人面前设摆盛满酒的碗和杯，对他们说：“请你们喝酒。”
Then Jeremias spoke to Ananias in the sight of all the people, and in the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord,
6 他们却说：“我们不喝酒；因为我们先祖利甲的儿子约拿达曾吩咐我们说：‘你们与你们的子孙永不可喝酒，
and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm your word which you do prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place.
7 也不可盖房、撒种、栽种葡萄园，但一生的年日要住帐棚，使你们的日子在寄居之地得以延长。’
Nevertheless hear you the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8 凡我们先祖利甲的儿子约拿达所吩咐我们的话，我们都听从了。我们和我们的妻子儿女一生的年日都不喝酒，
The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war.
9 也不盖房居住，也没有葡萄园、田地，和种子，
[As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has sent them in truth.
10 但住帐棚，听从我们先祖约拿达的话，照他所吩咐我们的去行。
Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces.
11 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上此地来，我们因怕迦勒底的军队和亚兰的军队，就说：‘来吧，我们到耶路撒冷去。’这样，我们才住在耶路撒冷。”
And Ananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord; Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations. And Jeremias went his way.
12 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying,
13 “万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：你去对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说，耶和华说：你们不受教训，不听从我的话吗？
Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus says the Lord; You have broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.
14 利甲的儿子约拿达所吩咐他子孙不可喝酒的话，他们已经遵守，直到今日也不喝酒，因为他们听从先祖的吩咐。我从早起来警戒你们，你们却不听从我。
For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon.
15 我从早起来，差遣我的仆人众先知去，说：‘你们各人当回头，离开恶道，改正行为，不随从事奉别神，就必住在我所赐给你们和你们列祖的地上。’只是你们没有听从我，也没有侧耳而听。
And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.
16 利甲的儿子约拿达的子孙能遵守先人所吩咐他们的命，这百姓却没有听从我！
Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast you off from the face of the earth: this year you shall die.
17 因此，耶和华—万军之 神、以色列的 神如此说：我要使我所说的一切灾祸临到犹大人和耶路撒冷的一切居民。因为我对他们说话，他们没有听从；我呼唤他们，他们没有答应。”
So he died in the seventh month.
18 耶利米对利甲族的人说：“万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：因你们听从你们先祖约拿达的吩咐，谨守他的一切诫命，照他所吩咐你们的去行，
19 所以万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：利甲的儿子约拿达必永不缺人侍立在我面前。”
