Jeremiah 32
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah—it [is] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar—
猶大王西底家第十年，就是尼布甲尼撒十八年，耶和華的話臨到耶利米。
2 And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet has been shut up in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king of Judah,
那時巴比倫王的軍隊圍困耶路撒冷，先知耶利米囚在護衛兵的院內，在猶大王的宮中；
3 where Zedekiah king of Judah has shut him up, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it;
因為猶大王西底家已將他囚禁，說：「你為甚麼預言說，耶和華如此說：『我必將這城交在巴比倫王的手中，他必攻取這城。
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah does not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth has spoken with his mouth, and his eyes see his eyes,
猶大王西底家必不能逃脫迦勒底人的手，定要交在巴比倫王的手中，要口對口彼此說話，眼對眼彼此相看。
5 and he leads Zedekiah [to] Babylon, and there he is until My inspecting him—a declaration of YHWH—because you fight with the Chaldeans, you do not prosper.”
巴比倫王必將西底家帶到巴比倫；西底家必住在那裏，直到我眷顧他的時候。你們雖與迦勒底人爭戰，卻不順利。這是耶和華說的。』」
6 And Jeremiah says, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
耶利米說：「耶和華的話臨到我說：
7 Behold, Hanameel son of Shallum, your uncle, is coming to you, saying, Buy my field that [is] in Anathoth for yourself, for the right of redemption [is] yours to buy.”
『你叔叔沙龍的兒子哈拿篾必來見你，說：我在亞拿突的那塊地，求你買來；因你買這地是合乎贖回之理。』」
8 And Hanameel, my uncle’s son, comes to me, according to the word of YHWH, to the court of the prison, and says to me, “Please buy my field that [is] in Anathoth, that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession [is] yours, and redemption yours—buy [it] for yourself.” And I know that it [is] the word of YHWH,
我叔叔的兒子哈拿篾果然照耶和華的話來到護衛兵的院內，對我說：「我在便雅憫境內、亞拿突的那塊地，求你買來；因你買來是合乎承受之理，是你當贖的。你為自己買來吧！」我－耶利米就知道這是耶和華的話。
9 and I buy the field that [is] in Anathoth from Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and I weigh the money to him—seventeen shekels of silver.
我便向我叔叔的兒子哈拿篾買了亞拿突的那塊地，平了十七舍客勒銀子給他。
10 And I write in a scroll, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in balances;
我在契上畫押，將契封緘，又請見證人來，並用天平將銀子平給他。
11 and I take the purchase scroll, the sealed one, according to law and custom, and the open one;
我便將照例按規所立的買契，就是封緘的那一張和敞着的那一張，
12 and I give the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the purchase scroll, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting in the court of the prison.
當着我叔叔的兒子哈拿篾和畫押作見證的人，並坐在護衛兵院內的一切猶大人眼前，交給瑪西雅的孫子尼利亞的兒子巴錄。
13 And I charge Baruch before their eyes, saying,
當着他們眾人眼前，我囑咐巴錄說：
14 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Take these scrolls, this purchase scroll, both the sealed one and the open one, and you have put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.
「萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：要將這封緘的和敞着的兩張契放在瓦器裏，可以存留多日。
15 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards are bought in this land again.”
因為萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：將來在這地必有人再買房屋、田地，和葡萄園。」
16 And I pray to YHWH after my giving the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, saying,
我將買契交給尼利亞的兒子巴錄以後，便禱告耶和華說：
17 “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power, and by Your outstretched arm; there is nothing too wonderful for You:
「主耶和華啊，你曾用大能和伸出來的膀臂創造天地，在你沒有難成的事。
18 doing kindness to thousands, and repaying iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name;
你施慈愛與千萬人，又將父親的罪孽報應在他後世子孫的懷中，是至大全能的上帝，萬軍之耶和華是你的名。
19 great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Your eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
謀事有大略，行事有大能，注目觀看世人一切的舉動，為要照各人所行的和他做事的結果報應他。
20 in that you have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt to this day, and in Israel, and among men, and You make for Yourself a name as [at] this day.
在埃及地顯神蹟奇事，直到今日在以色列和別人中間也是如此，使自己得了名聲，正如今日一樣。
21 And You bring forth Your people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear,
用神蹟奇事和大能的手，並伸出來的膀臂與大可畏的事，領你的百姓以色列出了埃及。
22 and you give to them this land that you swore to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey,
將這地賜給他們，就是你向他們列祖起誓應許賜給他們流奶與蜜之地。
23 and they come in, and possess it, and they have not listened to Your voice, and have not walked in Your law, all that which You laid a charge on them to do they have not done, and You proclaim all this calamity [to] them.
他們進入這地得了為業，卻不聽從你的話，也不遵行你的律法；你一切所吩咐他們行的，他們一無所行，因此你使這一切的災禍臨到他們。
24 Behold, the [siege] mounds have come to the city to capture it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which You have spoken has come to pass, and behold, You are seeing.
看哪，敵人已經來到，築壘要攻取這城；城也因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫交在攻城的迦勒底人手中。你所說的話都成就了，你也看見了。
25 Yet You have said to me, O Lord YHWH, Buy the field for yourself with money, and cause witnesses to testify—and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!”
主耶和華啊，你對我說：要用銀子為自己買那塊地，又請見證人。其實這城已交在迦勒底人的手中了。」
26 And the word of YHWH is to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：
27 “Behold, I [am] YHWH, God of all flesh: is anything too wonderful for Me?”
「我是耶和華，是凡有血氣者的上帝，豈有我難成的事嗎？
28 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has captured it.
耶和華如此說：我必將這城交付迦勒底人的手和巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手，他必攻取這城。
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city have come in, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it—and the houses on whose roofs they made incense to Ba‘al, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger.
攻城的迦勒底人必來放火焚燒這城和其中的房屋。在這房屋上，人曾向巴力燒香，向別神澆奠，惹我發怒。
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only evil in My eyes from their youth; for the sons of Israel are surely provoking Me with the work of their hands,” a declaration of YHWH.
以色列人和猶大人自從幼年以來，專行我眼中看為惡的事；以色列人盡以手所做的惹我發怒。這是耶和華說的。
31 “For this city has been a cause of My anger and a cause of My fury, even from the day that they built it, and to this day—to turn it aside from before My face,
這城自從建造的那日直到今日，常惹我的怒氣和忿怒，使我將這城從我面前除掉；
32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel, and of the sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me—they, their kings, their heads, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
是因以色列人和猶大人一切的邪惡，就是他們和他們的君王、首領、祭司、先知，並猶大的眾人，以及耶路撒冷的居民所行的，惹我發怒。
33 And they turn the neck to Me, and not the face, and teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not listening to accept instruction.
他們以背向我，不以面向我；我雖從早起來教訓他們，他們卻不聽從，不受教訓，
34 And they set their abominations in the house over which My Name is called, so as to defile it.
竟把可憎之物設立在稱為我名下的殿中，污穢了這殿。
35 And they build the high places of Ba‘al that [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come up on My heart to do this abomination, so as to cause Judah to sin.
他們在欣嫩子谷建築巴力的邱壇，好使自己的兒女經火歸摩洛；他們行這可憎的事，使猶大陷在罪裏，這並不是我所吩咐的，也不是我心所起的意。」
36 And now, therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you are saying, It has been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
現在論到這城，就是你們所說、已經因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫交在巴比倫王手中的，耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：
37 Behold, I am gathering them out of all the lands to where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back to this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;
「我在怒氣、忿怒，和大惱恨中，將以色列人趕到各國。日後我必從那裏將他們招聚出來，領他們回到此地，使他們安然居住。
38 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;
他們要作我的子民，我要作他們的上帝。
39 and I have given to them one heart and one way, to fear Me all the days, for the good of them and their sons after them:
我要使他們彼此同心同道，好叫他們永遠敬畏我，使他們和他們後世的子孫得福樂，
40 and I have made a perpetual covenant for them, in that I do not turn back from after them for My doing them good, and I put My fear in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;
又要與他們立永遠的約，必隨着他們施恩，並不離開他們，且使他們有敬畏我的心，不離開我。
41 and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.”
我必歡喜施恩與他們，要盡心盡意、誠誠實實將他們栽於此地。
42 For thus said YHWH: “As I brought to this people all this great calamity, so I am bringing on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;
「因為耶和華如此說：我怎樣使這一切大禍臨到這百姓，我也要照樣使我所應許他們的一切福樂都臨到他們。
43 and the field has been bought in this land of which you are saying, It [is] a desolation, without man and beast, it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
你們說，這地是荒涼、無人民、無牲畜，是交付迦勒底人手之地。日後在這境內，必有人置買田地。
44 They buy fields with money, so as to write in a scroll, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in outskirts of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I return their captivity,” a declaration of YHWH.
在便雅憫地、耶路撒冷四圍的各處、猶大的城邑、山地的城邑、高原的城邑，並南地的城邑，人必用銀子買田地，在契上畫押，將契封緘，請出見證人，因為我必使被擄的人歸回。這是耶和華說的。」
