< Jeremiah 32 >
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh (in the year *Q(K)*) tenth of Zedekiah [the] king of Judah that [was] the year eight-teen year of Nebuchadnezzar.
猶大王漆德克雅第十年,拿步高在位第十八年,由上主傳給耶肋米亞先知的話:
2 And then [the] army of [the] king of Babylon [were] laying siege on Jerusalem and Jeremiah the prophet he was shut up in [the] courtyard of the guard which [was] [the] house of [the] king of Judah.
那時巴比倫王的軍在隊正在圍攻耶路撒冷,耶肋米亞先知被幽禁在猶大王室監獄的庭院裏。
3 Where he had shut up him Zedekiah [the] king of Judah saying why? [are] you prophesying saying thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give the city this in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
猶大王漆德克雅幽禁了先知,對他說:「你為什麼預言說:上主這樣說:看,我必將這城交在巴比倫王手中,他要佔領這座城;
4 And Zedekiah [the] king of Judah not he will escape from [the] hand of the Chaldeans for certainly he will be given in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and it will speak mouth his with mouth his and eyes his (eyes his *Q(K)*) they will see.
猶大王漆德克雅必逃不出加色丁人的手,因為他必被交在巴比倫王的手中,與他面對面相談,眼對眼相視;
5 And Babylon he will take Zedekiah and there he will be until give attention to I him [the] utterance of Yahweh if you will fight with the Chaldeans not you will succeed.
他必帶漆德克雅到巴比倫去,住在那裏,我再來看顧他──上主的斷語──你們若抵擋加色丁人,決不會成功﹖」
6 And he said Jeremiah it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
耶肋米亞說:「有上主的話傳給我說:
7 Here! Hanamel [the] son of Shallum uncle your [is] about to come to you saying buy for yourself field my which [is] at Anathoth for [belongs] to you [the] right of redemption to buy [it].
看,你叔父沙隆的兒子哈納默耳要到你這裏來說:你購買我在阿納托特的那塊田吧! 因為你有買回的權利,應把它買回來」。
8 And he came to me Hanamel [the] son of uncle my according to [the] word of Yahweh to [the] courtyard of the guard and he said to me buy please field my which [is] at Anathoth which - [is] in [the] land of Benjamin for [belongs] to you [the] right of possession and [belongs] to you the redemption buy [it] for yourself and I knew that [was] [the] word of Yahweh it.
我叔父的兒子哈納默耳,正如上主所說,到監獄庭院裏來找我,對我說:「請你購買我在本雅明地內阿納托特木那塊田吧! 因為你有繼承權,和有權買回你為你自己買下吧! 」於是我知道,這是上主的話。
9 And I bought the field from with Hanamel [the] son of uncle my which [was] at Anathoth and I weighed out! for him the silver [was] seven shekels and ten the silver.
便買了我叔父的兒子哈納默刀在阿納托特的那塊地,秤給他十七「協刻耳」銀子,
10 And I wrote on the document and I sealed [it] and I caused to witness [it] witnesses and I weighed out the silver on scales.
寫了契約,封上,請人作證,在天秤上秤了銀子;
11 And I took [the] document of the purchase the sealed [one] the order and the conditions and the uncovered [one].
然後按照法定條例,拿著加封和未加封的購買契約,
12 And I gave the document the purchase to Baruch [the] son of Neriah [the] son of Mahseiah to [the] eyes of Hanamel uncle my and to [the] eyes of the witnesses who wrote on [the] document of the purchase to [the] eyes of all the Jews who were sitting in [the] courtyard of the guard.
當著我叔父的兒子哈納默耳,和在購買契約上簽名的見證人,以及監獄庭院裏在座的眾猶大人眼前,將這購買的契約交給了乃黎雅的兒子,瑪赫色雅的孫子巴路克,
13 And I commanded Baruch to eyes their saying.
並當著左營眼前吩咐巴路克說:
14 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel take the documents these [the] document of the purchase this and the sealed [one] and [the] document uncovered this and you will put them in a vessel of earthenware so that they may remain days many.
「萬軍的上主,以色列的天主這將這些加封和未加封的文件,購買的契約拿去,放在一瓦器內,長久保存,
15 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel again they will be bought houses and fields and vineyards in the land this.
因為萬軍的上主以色列的天主這樣說:在這地方,人還要購買房屋、莊田和葡萄園」。
16 And I prayed to Yahweh after gave I [the] document of the purchase to Baruch [the] son of Neriah saying.
我將購買的契約交給乃黎雅的兒子巴路克以後,便祈求上主說:
17 Alas! O Lord Yahweh there! - you you made the heavens and the earth by strength your great and by arm your outstretched not it is [too] difficult for you any thing.
「啊! 我主上主! 看,你以你的大能和伸展的手臂創造了天地;為你是沒有困難的事。
18 [who] does Covenant loyalty to thousands and [who] pays back [the] iniquity of fathers into [the] bosom of children their after them God great mighty [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
你對千萬人施行仁慈,但也血後世的子孫本人,追討他們祖先的罪債;你們是偉大有力的天主,「萬軍的天主」是你的名號。
19 great of Counsel and [the] great of deed[s] who eyes your [are] opened on all [the] ways of [the] children of humankind to give to everyone according to ways his and according to [the] fruit of deeds his.
你有偉大的計謀,行大事的能力;雙目注視人類子孫所有的行徑,依照各人的行徑和行事的結果,給予酬報。
20 Who you performed signs and wonders in [the] land of Egypt until the day this and in Israel and among humankind and you have made for yourself a name as the day this.
你直到今日在埃及地,在以色列和人世間,施行奇蹟和異事,使你自己成名,有如今日;
21 And you brought out people your Israel from [the] land of Egypt by signs and by wonders and by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with terror great.
你以靈蹟奇事,有力的手腕和伸展的臂膊,巨大恐嚇,從埃及地出了你的人民以色列,
22 And you gave to them the land this which you had sworn to ancestors their to give to them a land flowing of milk and honey.
給他們的祖先起誓,要給他們的這塊流奶流蜜的土地。
23 And they came and they took possession of it and not they listened to voice your (and in law your *Q(K)*) not they walked all that you had commanded to them to do not they did and you have caused to happen to them all the calamity this.
他們來了,佔領了這地,郤沒有聽從你的聲音,沒有履行你的法律,沒有做你命他們應做的一切事,為此你給他們招來了這一切災禍。
24 There! the mounds they have come the city to capture it and the city it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting on it because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence and [that] which you spoke it has happened and there you [are] seeing [it].
看,圍攻的工程已逼近城市,劫勢必攻陷;這個已面臨兵刀飢荒和瘟疫的城市,必落在進攻的加色丁人手中;你所說的,現已實現,你已目睹;
25 And you you have said to me O Lord Yahweh buy for yourself the field with silver and cause to witness [it] witnesses and the city it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.
然而,我主上主! 正當這城交在加色丁人手中之際,你卻對我說:你要請人作證,用銀子購買田地」。
26 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah saying.
於是有上主的話通過給我說:
27 Here! I [am] Yahweh [the] God of all flesh ¿ for me is it [too] difficult any thing.
「看,我是上主,是一切有血肉者的天主:難道我有做不到的事嗎﹖
28 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give the city this in [the] hand of the Chaldeans and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
為此,上主這樣說:看,我將這城交在加色丁人和巴比倫拿步高的手中,他必佔領這座城。
29 And they will come the Chaldeans who are fighting on the city this and they will set on fire the city this with fire and they will burn it and the houses which people made smoke on roofs their to Baal and they poured out drink offerings to gods other so as to provoke to anger me.
進攻這城的加色丁人要來放火焚燒,把這座城和在屋頂上給巴耳焚香,向外神行奠禮,惹我動怒的房屋,燒得乾乾淨淨,
30 For they have been [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah only doing the evil in view my since youth their for [the] people of Israel only [are] provoking to anger me by [the] work of hands their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
因為以色列和猶大子民自幼在我眼前只知作惡;實在,以色列子民雙手所行的,無不使我動怒──上主的斷語──
31 That on anger my and on rage my it has been to me the city this from the day when they built it and until the day this to remove it from on face my.
實在,這座城,自從他們開始建築那一天,直到今日,常惹我動怒生氣,致使我不得不從我面前將她消滅。
32 On all [the] evil of [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah which they have done to provoke to anger me they kings their officials their priests their and prophets their and everyone of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
這全是出於以色列和猶大子民,即他們、他們的君王、朝臣、司祭、先知,以及猶大人和耶路撒冷和居民,所行的一切使我動怒的惡事。
33 And they turned to me a back and not a face and I taught them rising early and teaching and not they [were] listening to accept correction.
他們對我轉過背來,卻不對我轉過臉來;我雖不斷懇切施教,他們仍不願聽從,接受勸告;
34 And they put detestable things their in the house which it was called name my on it to make unclean it.
反將可惡之物安置在歸我名下的殿裏,使我殿宇受到了玷污;
35 And they built [the] high places of Baal which - [are] in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom to make pass through sons their and daughters their to Molech which not I had commanded them and not it had come up on heart my to do the abomination this so as (to cause to sin *Q(k)*) Judah.
又在本希農山谷給巴耳建造了一些祭壇,給摩肋客人火祭自己的子女:這是我從來沒有吩咐,也從來沒有想到過的事;他們竟做出這些可惡的事,來引誘猶大犯罪。
36 And now therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel concerning the city this which - you [are] saying it has been given in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon by the sword and by famine and by pestilence.
現在,上主以色列的天主,對這座城你要說因兵戈饑荒瘟疫,而被交在巴比倫王手中的,卻這樣說:
37 Here I [will be] gathering them from all the lands where I have banished them there in anger my and in rage my and in wrath great and I will bring back them to the place this and I will cause to dwell them to security.
看,我必從我生氣憤恨發怒時逐他們所到的各地,召集他們,領他們回到這地方來,安然居住,
38 And they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
作我的,我作他們的天主,
39 And I will give to them a heart one and a way one to fear me all the days for good for them and for children their after them.
且使他們一心一德,終生敬畏我,造福自己和自己後代的子孫;
40 And I will make to them a covenant of perpetuity which not I will turn back from after them to do good to I them and fear my I will put in heart their to not to turn aside from with me.
與他們訂立一永久的盟約,再不離棄他們,為他們謀幸福,將敬長我之情賦於他們心內,使他們不再離開;
41 And I will rejoice on them to do good to them and I will plant them in the land this in faithfulness with all heart my and with all being my.
我樂意好待他們,專心致志將他們安頓在這城裏。
42 For thus he says Yahweh just as I have brought to the people this all the calamity great this so I [will] bring on them all the good which I [am] speaking to them.
因為上主這樣說:我怎樣給這人民招來了這一切大災禍,也要同樣給他們招來我預許的一切幸福。
43 And it will be bought the field in the land this which - you [are] saying [is] a desolation it from not human being and an animal it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.
在這個你們說成已成荒野,已人獸絕跡,已交在加色丁人手中的地域裏,還有田地的交易;
44 Fields for silver people will buy and they will write on the document - and they will seal [it] and cause to witness [it] witnesses in [the] land of Benjamin and in [the] surroundings of Jerusalem and in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] cities of the hill country and in [the] cities of the Shephelah and in [the] cities of the Negev for I will turn back captivity their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
在本雅明地,在耶路撒冷城郊,在猶大、山地、平原和南部的城裏,人們還要花錢買田,寫契蓋章,請人作證,因為我要轉變他們的命運──上主的斷語」。
