Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
耶和华如此说：“你下到犹大王的宫中，在那里说这话，
2 Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at 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 said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed 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 you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, 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 And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
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 said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are 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 have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on 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 have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
“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 And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve 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 You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
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 said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
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 For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
却要死在被掳去的地方，必不得再见这地。”
13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
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 Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
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 Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
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 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
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 your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
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 said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
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 is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
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 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been 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 have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
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 Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
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 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
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 live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
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 have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
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 have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
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 And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
但心中甚想归回之地，必不得归回。”
28 A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
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 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
地啊，地啊，地啊，当听耶和华的话！
30 Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
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。
