Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬登基的时候，有这话从耶和华临到耶利米说：
2 “Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,
“耶和华对我如此说：你做绳索与轭，加在自己的颈项上，
3 and you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah king of Judah;
借那些来到耶路撒冷见犹大王西底家的使臣之手，把绳索与轭送到以东王、摩押王、亚扪王、泰尔王、西顿王那里，
4 and you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
且嘱咐使臣，传与他们的主人说，万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：
5 Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.
我用大能和伸出来的膀臂，创造大地和地上的人民、牲畜。我看给谁相宜，就把地给谁。
6 And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to him to serve him;
现在我将这些地都交给我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手，我也将田野的走兽给他使用。
7 and all the nations have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.
列国都必服事他和他的儿孙，直到他本国遭报的日期来到。那时，多国和大君王要使他作他们的奴仆。
8 And it has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume them by his hand.
“无论哪一邦哪一国，不肯服事这巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，也不把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下，我必用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫刑罚那邦，直到我借巴比伦王的手将他们毁灭。这是耶和华说的。
9 And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—
至于你们，不可听从你们的先知和占卜的、圆梦的、观兆的，以及行邪术的；他们告诉你们说：‘你们不致服事巴比伦王。’
10 For they are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.
他们向你们说假预言，要叫你们迁移，远离本地，以致我将你们赶出去，使你们灭亡。
11 And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”
但哪一邦肯把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下服事他，我必使那邦仍在本地存留，得以耕种居住。这是耶和华说的。”
12 And I have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
我就照这一切的话对犹大王西底家说：“要把你们的颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下，服事他和他的百姓，便得存活。
13 Why do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
你和你的百姓为何要因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫死亡，正如耶和华论到不服事巴比伦王的那国说的话呢？
14 And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
不可听那些先知对你们所说的话；他们说：‘你们不致服事巴比伦王’，其实他们向你们说假预言。
15 For I have not sent them—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
耶和华说：‘我并没有打发他们，他们却托我的名说假预言，好使我将你们和向你们说预言的那些先知赶出去，一同灭亡。’”
16 And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
我又对祭司和这众民说：“耶和华如此说：你们不可听那先知对你们所说的预言。他们说：‘耶和华殿中的器皿快要从巴比伦带回来’；其实他们向你们说假预言。
17 You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?
不可听从他们，只管服事巴比伦王便得存活。这城何致变为荒场呢？
18 And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
他们若果是先知，有耶和华的话临到他们，让他们祈求万军之耶和华，使那在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫内，并耶路撒冷剩下的器皿，不被带到巴比伦去。（
19 For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
因为万军之耶和华论到柱子、铜海、盆座，并剩在这城里的器皿，
20 that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,
就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒掳掠犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅，和犹大、耶路撒冷一切贵胄的时候所没有掠去的器皿。）
21 surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
论到那在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫内，并耶路撒冷剩下的器皿，万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：
22 They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
必被带到巴比伦存在那里，直到我眷顾以色列人的日子。那时，我必将这器皿带回来，交还此地。这是耶和华说的。”
