Jeremias 35
1 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,
猶大王約史雅的兒子約雅金為王時，上主有話傳給耶肋米亞說：
2 Thus saith the Lord; I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
「你到勒加布人家裏去，與他們會談，引他們走進上主殿宇的一間房裏，給他們酒喝」。
3 Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of the house of the Lord,
於是我帶了哈巴漆尼的孫子，依爾米雅的兒子雅匝尼雅，和他的兄弟與他所有的兒子，以及勒加布全家，
4 and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
到了上主的殿宇，進了天主的人依革達里雅的兒子南的兒子們的房間集合集合這間房靠近長官室，正是在看守殿門的沙隆的兒子瑪阿色雅的住房上面，
5 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,
將滿杯滿爵的酒，擺在勒加布的子孫面前，向他們請說：「請喝酒吧! 」
6 and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm thy word which thou dost prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place.
他們答說：「我們不喝，因為我們的祖先勒加布的兒子約納達有布曾吩咐我們說：你們和你們的兒子永不可喝酒；
7 Nevertheless hear ye the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
也不可建造房屋，不可播種，不可栽植或佔有葡萄園，卻要終身住在帳幕裏，好使你們能長久在你們作客的地方。
8 The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war.
在我們的祖先勒加布的兒子約納遠吩咐我們的一切事上，我們全聽從了他的話，我們、妻子和兒女，終身不喝酒，
9 [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.
也不建造房屋居住，也沒有葡萄或田地和播種的事，
10 Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces.
只住在帳幕裏，全聽從並履行我們的祖先約納達w的事。
11 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.
只在巴比倫王拿步高上來進攻這城時，我們才說：走吧! 到耶路撒冷去，躲避加色弓人和阿蘭軍隊；從此我們才住在耶路撒冷」。
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying,
於是有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
13 Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.
「萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：你去對猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民說：你們不接受教訓，聽從我的話嗎﹖──上主的斷語──
14 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.
勒加布的兒子約納達布的話居然有人遵守：他命子孫們不喝酒，他們直到今日就不喝酒，全聽從了他們祖先的命令；我不斷懇切教訓你們，你們卻沒有聽從；
15 And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent thee; and thou hast caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.
我給你們派遺──且不斷派遺，我所有的僕人們，來勸你們各自離開自己的邪道，改自己的行為，不再追隨外方的神祗，好能住在我賜給你們和你們祖先的地方；你們仍不側耳聽從我。
16 Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast thee off from the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die.
實在，加勒布的兒子約納達達布的子孫，遵守了他們祖先吩咐的命令；至於這民族，卻不聽從我。
17 So he died in the seventh month.
為此，上主萬軍的天主，以色列的天主這樣說：看，我必給猶大和耶路撒冷 a的居民，招來我對他們所預告的一切災禍，因為我訓諭他們，他們不答應」。
於是耶肋米亞對勒加布人家族說：「萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：因為你們聽從了祖先約納布的命令，遵守了他的一切規律，完全依照他所吩咐的做了；
為此，萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：勒加布的兒子約納達布從此永不會缺乏侍立在我面前的人」。
