Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his force have come to Jerusalem, and they lay siege against it;
猶大王西底家第九年十月，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領全軍來圍困耶路撒冷。
2 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city has been broken up;
西底家十一年四月初九日，城被攻破。
3 and all the heads of the king of Babylon come in, and they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-Saris, Nergal-Sharezer, chief magus, and all the rest of the heads of the king of Babylon.
耶路撒冷被攻取的時候，巴比倫王的首領尼甲‧沙利薛、三甲‧尼波、撒西金－拉撒力、尼甲‧沙利薛－拉墨，並巴比倫王其餘的一切首領都來坐在中門。
4 And it comes to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah and all the men of war have seen them, that they flee and go forth by night from the city, the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he goes forth the way of the plain.
猶大王西底家和一切兵丁看見他們，就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門出城逃跑，往亞拉巴逃去。
5 And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him, and bring him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaks with him—judgments.
迦勒底的軍隊追趕他們，在耶利哥的平原追上西底家，將他拿住，帶到哈馬地的利比拉、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒那裏；尼布甲尼撒就審判他。
6 And the king of Babylon slaughters the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah, before his eyes, indeed, the king of Babylon has slaughtered all the nobles of Judah.
巴比倫王在利比拉、西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，又殺了猶大的一切貴冑，
7 And he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and he binds him with bronze chains to bring him to Babylon.
並且剜西底家的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖着他，要帶到巴比倫去。
8 And the house of the king, and the house of the people, the Chaldeans have burned with fire, and they have broken down the walls of Jerusalem.
迦勒底人用火焚燒王宮和百姓的房屋，又拆毀耶路撒冷的城牆。
9 And the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those defecting who have defected to him, and the remnant of the people who are left, Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has removed [to] Babylon.
那時，護衛長尼布撒拉旦將城裏所剩下的百姓和投降他的逃民，以及其餘的民都擄到巴比倫去了。
10 And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has left in the land of Judah the poor people who have nothing, and he gives vineyards and fields to them in that day.
護衛長尼布撒拉旦卻將民中毫無所有的窮人留在猶大地，當時給他們葡萄園和田地。
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gives a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, saying,
巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒提到耶利米，囑咐護衛長尼布撒拉旦說：
12 “Take him, and place your eyes on him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaks to you, so do with him.”
「你領他去，好好地看待他，切不可害他；他對你怎麼說，你就向他怎麼行。」
13 And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, sends, and Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief magus, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon,
護衛長尼布撒拉旦和尼布沙斯班－拉撒力、尼甲‧沙利薛－拉墨，並巴比倫王的一切官長，
14 indeed, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwells in the midst of the people.
打發人去，將耶利米從護衛兵院中提出來，交與沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利，帶回家去。於是耶利米住在民中。
15 And a word of YHWH has been to Jeremiah—in his being detained in the court of the prison—saying:
耶利米還囚在護衛兵院中的時候，耶和華的話臨到他說：
16 “Go, and you have spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing in My words to this city for calamity, and not for good, and they have been before you in that day.
「你去告訴古實人以伯‧米勒說，萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：我說降禍不降福的話必臨到這城，到那時必在你面前成就了。
17 And I have delivered you in that day—a declaration of YHWH—and you are not given into the hand of the men of whose face you are afraid,
耶和華說：到那日我必拯救你，你必不致交在你所怕的人手中。
18 for I certainly deliver you, and you do not fall by sword, and your life has been to you for a spoil, for you have trusted in Me—a declaration of YHWH.”
我定要搭救你，你不致倒在刀下，卻要以自己的命為掠物，因你倚靠我。這是耶和華說的。」
