< Jeremiah 26 >
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been from Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, Stand thou in the court of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast spoken unto all [those of] the cities of Judah who are coming in to bow themselves in the house of Jehovah, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them, thou dost not diminish a word.
“耶和华如此说:你站在耶和华殿的院内,对犹大众城邑的人,就是到耶和华殿来礼拜的,说我所吩咐你的一切话,一字不可删减。
3 If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his evil way, then I have repented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
或者他们肯听从,各人回头离开恶道,使我后悔不将我因他们所行的恶,想要施行的灾祸降与他们。
4 'And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, If ye do not hearken unto Me, to walk in My law, that I set before you,
你要对他们说,耶和华如此说:‘你们若不听从我,不遵行我设立在你们面前的律法,
5 To hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending unto you, yea, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened,
不听我从早起来差遣到你们那里去我仆人众先知的话(你们还是没有听从),
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.'
我就必使这殿如示罗,使这城为地上万国所咒诅的。’”
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah,
耶利米在耶和华殿中说的这些话,祭司、先知与众民都听见了。
8 And it cometh to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah's speaking all that Jehovah hath commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, Thou dost surely die,
耶利米说完了耶和华所吩咐他对众人说的一切话,祭司、先知与众民都来抓住他,说:“你必要死!
9 Wherefore hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, 'As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled unto Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
你为何托耶和华的名预言,说这殿必如示罗,这城必变为荒场无人居住呢?”于是众民都在耶和华的殿中聚集到耶利米那里。
10 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of Jehovah, and sit in the opening of the new gate of Jehovah.
犹大的首领听见这事,就从王宫上到耶和华的殿,坐在耶和华殿的新门口。
11 And the priests and the prophets speak unto the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.'
祭司、先知对首领和众民说:“这人是该死的;因为他说预言攻击这城,正如你们亲耳所听见的。”
12 And Jeremiah speaketh unto all the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Jehovah sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that ye have heard;
耶利米就对众首领和众民说:“耶和华差遣我预言,攻击这殿和这城,说你们所听见的这一切话。
13 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah doth repent concerning the evil that He hath spoken against you.
现在要改正你们的行动作为,听从耶和华—你们 神的话,他就必后悔,不将所说的灾祸降与你们。
14 'And I, lo, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
至于我,我在你们手中,你们眼看何为善,何为正,就那样待我吧!
15 Only, know ye certainly, that if ye are putting me to death, surely innocent blood ye are putting on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly hath Jehovah sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.'
但你们要确实地知道,若把我治死,就使无辜人的血归到你们和这城,并其中的居民了;因为耶和华实在差遣我到你们这里来,将这一切话传与你们耳中。”
16 And the heads and all the people say unto the priests and unto the prophets, 'There is not for this man a judgment of death, for in the name of Jehovah our God he hath spoken unto us.'
首领和众民就对祭司、先知说:“这人是不该死的,因为他是奉耶和华—我们 神的名向我们说话。”
17 And certain of the elders of the land rise up, and speak unto all the assembly of the people, saying,
国中的长老就有几个人起来,对聚会的众民说:
18 'Micah the Morashtite hath been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he saith unto all the people of Judah, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
“当犹大王希西家的日子,有摩利沙人弥迦对犹大众人预言说: 万军之耶和华如此说: 锡安必被耕种像一块田; 耶路撒冷必变为乱堆; 这殿的山必像丛林的高处。
19 'Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil that He spake against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.
犹大王希西家和犹大众人岂是把他治死呢?希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华、恳求他的恩吗?耶和华就后悔,不把自己所说的灾祸降与他们。若治死这人,我们就作了大恶,自害己命。” (
20 'And also there hath been a man prophesying in the name of Jehovah, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesieth against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
又有一个人奉耶和华的名说预言,是基列·耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚,他照耶利米的一切话说预言,攻击这城和这地。
21 And the king Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeketh to put him to death, and Urijah heareth, and feareth, and fleeth, and goeth in to Egypt.
约雅敬王和他众勇士、众首领听见了乌利亚的话,王就想要把他治死。乌利亚听见就惧怕,逃往埃及去了。
22 And the king Jehoiakim sendeth men to Egypt — Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him unto Egypt —
约雅敬王便打发亚革波的儿子以利拿单,带领几个人往埃及去。
23 And they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him in unto the king Jehoiakim, and he smiteth him with a sword, and casteth his corpse unto the graves of the sons of the people.'
他们就从埃及将乌利亚带出来,送到约雅敬王那里;王用刀杀了他,把他的尸首抛在平民的坟地中。)
24 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan hath been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
然而,沙番的儿子亚希甘保护耶利米,不交在百姓的手中治死他。
