Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been from YHWH, saying,
猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬登基的時候，有這話從耶和華臨到耶利米說：
2 “Thus said YHWH: Stand in the court of the house of YHWH, and you have spoken to all [those of] the cities of Judah, who are coming to bow themselves in the house of YHWH, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them—you do not diminish a word.
「耶和華如此說：你站在耶和華殿的院內，對猶大眾城邑的人，就是到耶和華殿來禮拜的，說我所吩咐你的一切話，一字不可刪減。
3 Perhaps they listen, and each turns back from his evil way; then I have relented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
或者他們肯聽從，各人回頭離開惡道，使我後悔不將我因他們所行的惡，想要施行的災禍降與他們。
4 And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: If you do not listen to Me, to walk in My law that I set before you,
你要對他們說，耶和華如此說：『你們若不聽從我，不遵行我設立在你們面前的律法，
5 to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending to you, indeed, rising early and sending, and you have not listened,
不聽我從早起來差遣到你們那裏去我僕人眾先知的話（你們還是沒有聽從），
6 then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.”
我就必使這殿如示羅，使這城為地上萬國所咒詛的。』」
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of YHWH,
耶利米在耶和華殿中說的這些話，祭司、先知與眾民都聽見了。
8 and it comes to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah’s speaking all that YHWH has commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, “You surely die!
耶利米說完了耶和華所吩咐他對眾人說的一切話，祭司、先知與眾民都來抓住他，說：「你必要死！
9 Why have you prophesied in the Name of YHWH, saying, This house will be as Shiloh, and this city is desolated, without inhabitant?” And all the people are assembled to Jeremiah in the house of YHWH.
你為何託耶和華的名預言，說這殿必如示羅，這城必變為荒場無人居住呢？」於是眾民都在耶和華的殿中聚集到耶利米那裏。
10 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of YHWH, and sit in the opening of the New Gate of YHWH.
猶大的首領聽見這事，就從王宮上到耶和華的殿，坐在耶和華殿的新門口。
11 And the priests and the prophets speak to the heads, and to all the people, saying, “Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
祭司、先知對首領和眾民說：「這人是該死的；因為他說預言攻擊這城，正如你們親耳所聽見的。」
12 And Jeremiah speaks to all the heads, and to all the people, saying, “YHWH sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that you have heard.
耶利米就對眾首領和眾民說：「耶和華差遣我預言，攻擊這殿和這城，說你們所聽見的這一切話。
13 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and listen to the voice of your God YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the evil that He has spoken against you.
現在要改正你們的行動作為，聽從耶和華－你們上帝的話，他就必後悔，不將所說的災禍降與你們。
14 And I, behold, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
至於我，我在你們手中，你們眼看何為善，何為正，就那樣待我吧！
15 only, certainly know that if you are putting me to death, you are surely putting innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for YHWH has truly sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
但你們要確實地知道，若把我治死，就使無辜人的血歸到你們和這城，並其中的居民了；因為耶和華實在差遣我到你們這裏來，將這一切話傳與你們耳中。」
16 And the heads and all the people say to the priests and to the prophets, “There is not a judgment of death for this man, for he has spoken to us in the Name of our God YHWH.”
首領和眾民就對祭司、先知說：「這人是不該死的，因為他是奉耶和華－我們上帝的名向我們說話。」
17 And men from [the] elderly of the land rise up and speak to all the assembly of the people, saying,
國中的長老就有幾個人起來，對聚會的眾民說：
18 “Micah the Morashtite has been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he says to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
「當猶大王希西家的日子，有摩利沙人彌迦對猶大眾人預言說： 萬軍之耶和華如此說： 錫安必被耕種像一塊田； 耶路撒冷必變為亂堆； 這殿的山必像叢林的高處。
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear YHWH? Indeed, he appeases the face of YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the calamity that He spoke against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.”
猶大王希西家和猶大眾人豈是把他治死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華、懇求他的恩嗎？耶和華就後悔，不把自己所說的災禍降與他們。若治死這人，我們就作了大惡，自害己命。」 （
20 And there has also been a man prophesying in the Name of YHWH, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesies against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
又有一個人奉耶和華的名說預言，是基列‧耶琳人示瑪雅的兒子烏利亞，他照耶利米的一切話說預言，攻擊這城和這地。
21 and King Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeks to put him to death, and Urijah hears, and fears, and flees, and goes to Egypt.
約雅敬王和他眾勇士、眾首領聽見了烏利亞的話，王就想要把他治死。烏利亞聽見就懼怕，逃往埃及去了。
22 And King Jehoiakim sends men to Egypt—Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him to Egypt—
約雅敬王便打發亞革波的兒子以利拿單，帶領幾個人往埃及去。
23 and they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him to King Jehoiakim, and he strikes him with a sword, and casts his corpse to the graves of the sons of the people.
他們就從埃及將烏利亞帶出來，送到約雅敬王那裏；王用刀殺了他，把他的屍首拋在平民的墳地中。）
24 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan has been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
然而，沙番的兒子亞希甘保護耶利米，不交在百姓的手中治死他。
