耶利米書

第40章

1 耶利米鎖在耶路撒冷和猶大被擄到巴比倫的人中,護衛長尼布撒.拉旦將他從拉瑪釋放以後,耶和華的話臨到耶利米。

2 護衛長將耶利米叫來,對他說:「耶和華─你的神曾說要降這禍與此地。

3 如今[Now]耶和華使這禍臨到,照他所說的行了;因為你們得罪耶和華,沒有聽從他的話,所以這事臨到你們。

4 看哪[behold],現在我解開你手上的鏈子,你若看與我同往巴比倫去好,就可以去,我必厚待你;你若看與我同往巴比倫去不好,就不必去;看哪,全地在你面前;你以為哪裏美好,哪裏合宜,只管上那裏去吧。」

5 耶利米還沒有回去,護衛長說:「你[also]可以回到沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利那裏去;現在巴比倫王立他作猶大城邑的省長,你可以在他那裏住在民中;不然,你看哪裏合宜就可以上那裏去。」於是護衛長送他糧食和賞賜[reward],釋放他去了。

6 耶利米就到米斯巴見亞希甘的兒子基大利,在他那裏住在境內剩下的民中。

7 在田野的一切軍長和屬他們的人聽見巴比倫王立了亞希甘的兒子基大利作境內的省長,並將沒有擄到巴比倫的男人、婦女、孩童,和境內的窮人[poor of]全交給他,

8 於是軍長尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利,加利亞的兩個兒子約哈難和約拿單,單戶篾的兒子西萊雅,並尼陀法人以斐的眾子,瑪迦人的兒子耶撒利雅和屬他們的人,都到米斯巴見基大利。

9 沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利向他們和屬他們的人起誓說:「不要怕服事迦勒底人;只管住在這地,服事巴比倫王,你們[you]就可以得福。

10 至於我,我[behold]要住在米斯巴,伺候那[will]到我們這裏來的迦勒底人;只是你們當積蓄酒、油,和夏天的果子,收在器皿裏,住在你們所佔的城邑中。」

11 在摩押地和亞捫人中,在以東地和各國的一切猶太人,[Likewise]聽見巴比倫王留下些猶太人,並立沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利管理他們。

12 這一切猶太人就從所趕到的各處回來,到猶大地米斯巴的基大利那裏,又積蓄了許多的酒,並夏天的果子。

13 並且[Moreover]加利亞的兒子約哈難和在田野的一切軍長來到米斯巴見基大利,

14 對他說:「亞捫人的王巴利斯打發尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利來殺你[slay thee],你[certainly]知道嗎?」亞希甘的兒子基大利卻不信他們的話。

15 加利亞的兒子約哈難在米斯巴私下對基大利說:「求你容我去殺尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利,必無人知道;何必讓他殺你[slay thee],使聚集到你這裏來的猶太人都分散,以致猶大剩下的人都滅亡呢?」

16 亞希甘的兒子基大利對加利亞的兒子約哈難說:「你不可行這事;你所論以實瑪利的話是假的。」

Chapter 40

1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 after that310 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 had let him go7971 from4480 Ramah,7414 when he had taken3947 him being bound631 in chains246 among8432 all3605 that were carried away captive1546 of Jerusalem3389 and Judah,3063 which were carried away captive1540 unto Babylon.894

2 And the captain7227 of the guard2876 took3947 Jeremiah,3414 and said559 unto413 him, The LORD3068 thy God430 hath pronounced1696 853 this2063 evil7451 upon413 this2088 place.4725

3 Now the LORD3068 hath brought935 it, and done6213 according as834 he hath said:1696 because3588 ye have sinned2398 against the LORD,3068 and have not3808 obeyed8085 his voice,6963 therefore this2088 thing1697 is come1961 upon you.

4 And now,6258 behold,2009 I loose6605 thee this day3117 from4480 the chains246 which834 were upon5921 thine hand.3027 If518 it seem good unto thee2896 5869 to come935 with854 me into Babylon,894 come;935 and I will look well7760 853 5869 unto5921 thee: but if518 it seem ill unto thee7489 5869 to come935 with854 me into Babylon,894 forbear:2308 behold,7200 all3605 the land776 is before6440 thee: whither413 it seemeth5869 good2896 and convenient3477 for thee to go,1980 thither8033 go.1980

5 Now while he was not3808 yet5750 gone back,7725 he said, Go back7725 also to413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 hath made governor6485 over the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and dwell3427 with854 him among8432 the people:5971 or176 go1980 wheresoever413 3605 it seemeth5869 convenient3477 unto thee to go.1980 So the captain7227 of the guard2876 gave5414 him victuals737 and a reward,4864 and let him go.7971

6 Then went935 Jeremiah3414 unto413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 to Mizpah;4708 and dwelt3427 with854 him among8432 the people5971 that were left7604 in the land.776

7 Now when all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 which834 were in the fields,7704 even they1992 and their men,376 heard8085 that3588 the king4428 of Babylon894 had made853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 governor6485 in the land,776 and3588 had committed6485 unto854 him men,376 and women,802 and children,2945 and of the poor4480 1803 of the land,776 of them that4480 834 were not3808 carried away captive1540 to Babylon;894

8 Then they came935 to413 Gedaliah1436 to Mizpah,4708 even Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and Johanan3110 and Jonathan3129 the sons1121 of Kareah,7143 and Seraiah8304 the son1121 of Tanhumeth,8576 and the sons1121 of Ephai5778 the Netophathite,5200 and Jezaniah3153 the son1121 of a Maachathite,4602 they1992 and their men.376

9 And Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 swore7650 unto them and to their men,376 saying,559 Fear3372 not408 to serve4480 5647 the Chaldeans:3778 dwell3427 in the land,776 and serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and it shall be well3190 with you.

10 As for me,589 behold,2009 I will dwell3427 at Mizpah4709 to serve5975 6440 the Chaldeans,3778 which834 will come935 unto413 us: but ye,859 gather622 ye wine,3196 and summer fruits,7019 and oil,8081 and put7760 them in your vessels,3627 and dwell3427 in your cities5892 that834 ye have taken.8610

11 Likewise1571 when all3605 the Jews3064 that834 were in Moab,4124 and among the Ammonites,1121 5983 and in Edom,123 and that834 were in all3605 the countries,776 heard8085 that3588 the king4428 of Babylon894 had left5414 a remnant7611 of Judah,3063 and that3588 he had set6485 over5921 them853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan;8227

12 Even all3605 the Jews3064 returned7725 out of all4480 3605 places4725 whither834 8033 they were driven,5080 and came935 to the land776 of Judah,3063 to413 Gedaliah,1436 unto Mizpah,4708 and gathered622 wine3196 and summer fruits7019 very3966 much.7335

13 Moreover Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 that834 were in the fields,7704 came935 to413 Gedaliah1436 to Mizpah,4708

14 And said559 unto413 him, Dost thou certainly know3045 3045 that3588 Baalis1185 the king4428 of the Ammonites1121 5983 hath sent7971 853 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 to slay5221 5315 thee? But Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 believed539 them not.3808

15 Then Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah7143 spoke559 to413 Gedaliah1436 in Mizpah4709 secretly,5643 saying,559 Let me go,1980 I pray thee,4994 and I will slay5221 853 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and no3808 man376 shall know3045 it: wherefore4100 should he slay5221 5315 thee, that all3605 the Jews3063 which are gathered6908 unto413 thee should be scattered,6327 and the remnant7611 in Judah3063 perish?6

16 But Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 said559 unto413 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 Thou shalt not408 do6213 853 this2088 thing:1697 for3588 thou859 speakest1696 falsely8267 of413 Ishmael.3458

Jeremiah

Chapter 40

1 耶利米鎖在耶路撒冷和猶大被擄到巴比倫的人中,護衛長尼布撒.拉旦將他從拉瑪釋放以後,耶和華的話臨到耶利米。

1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 after that310 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 had let him go7971 from4480 Ramah,7414 when he had taken3947 him being bound631 in chains246 among8432 all3605 that were carried away captive1546 of Jerusalem3389 and Judah,3063 which were carried away captive1540 unto Babylon.894

2 護衛長將耶利米叫來,對他說:「耶和華─你的神曾說要降這禍與此地。

2 And the captain7227 of the guard2876 took3947 Jeremiah,3414 and said559 unto413 him, The LORD3068 thy God430 hath pronounced1696 853 this2063 evil7451 upon413 this2088 place.4725

3 如今[Now]耶和華使這禍臨到,照他所說的行了;因為你們得罪耶和華,沒有聽從他的話,所以這事臨到你們。

3 Now the LORD3068 hath brought935 it, and done6213 according as834 he hath said:1696 because3588 ye have sinned2398 against the LORD,3068 and have not3808 obeyed8085 his voice,6963 therefore this2088 thing1697 is come1961 upon you.

4 看哪[behold],現在我解開你手上的鏈子,你若看與我同往巴比倫去好,就可以去,我必厚待你;你若看與我同往巴比倫去不好,就不必去;看哪,全地在你面前;你以為哪裏美好,哪裏合宜,只管上那裏去吧。」

4 And now,6258 behold,2009 I loose6605 thee this day3117 from4480 the chains246 which834 were upon5921 thine hand.3027 If518 it seem good unto thee2896 5869 to come935 with854 me into Babylon,894 come;935 and I will look well7760 853 5869 unto5921 thee: but if518 it seem ill unto thee7489 5869 to come935 with854 me into Babylon,894 forbear:2308 behold,7200 all3605 the land776 is before6440 thee: whither413 it seemeth5869 good2896 and convenient3477 for thee to go,1980 thither8033 go.1980

5 耶利米還沒有回去,護衛長說:「你[also]可以回到沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利那裏去;現在巴比倫王立他作猶大城邑的省長,你可以在他那裏住在民中;不然,你看哪裏合宜就可以上那裏去。」於是護衛長送他糧食和賞賜[reward],釋放他去了。

5 Now while he was not3808 yet5750 gone back,7725 he said, Go back7725 also to413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 hath made governor6485 over the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and dwell3427 with854 him among8432 the people:5971 or176 go1980 wheresoever413 3605 it seemeth5869 convenient3477 unto thee to go.1980 So the captain7227 of the guard2876 gave5414 him victuals737 and a reward,4864 and let him go.7971

6 耶利米就到米斯巴見亞希甘的兒子基大利,在他那裏住在境內剩下的民中。

6 Then went935 Jeremiah3414 unto413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 to Mizpah;4708 and dwelt3427 with854 him among8432 the people5971 that were left7604 in the land.776

7 在田野的一切軍長和屬他們的人聽見巴比倫王立了亞希甘的兒子基大利作境內的省長,並將沒有擄到巴比倫的男人、婦女、孩童,和境內的窮人[poor of]全交給他,

7 Now when all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 which834 were in the fields,7704 even they1992 and their men,376 heard8085 that3588 the king4428 of Babylon894 had made853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 governor6485 in the land,776 and3588 had committed6485 unto854 him men,376 and women,802 and children,2945 and of the poor4480 1803 of the land,776 of them that4480 834 were not3808 carried away captive1540 to Babylon;894

8 於是軍長尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利,加利亞的兩個兒子約哈難和約拿單,單戶篾的兒子西萊雅,並尼陀法人以斐的眾子,瑪迦人的兒子耶撒利雅和屬他們的人,都到米斯巴見基大利。

8 Then they came935 to413 Gedaliah1436 to Mizpah,4708 even Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and Johanan3110 and Jonathan3129 the sons1121 of Kareah,7143 and Seraiah8304 the son1121 of Tanhumeth,8576 and the sons1121 of Ephai5778 the Netophathite,5200 and Jezaniah3153 the son1121 of a Maachathite,4602 they1992 and their men.376

9 沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利向他們和屬他們的人起誓說:「不要怕服事迦勒底人;只管住在這地,服事巴比倫王,你們[you]就可以得福。

9 And Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 swore7650 unto them and to their men,376 saying,559 Fear3372 not408 to serve4480 5647 the Chaldeans:3778 dwell3427 in the land,776 and serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and it shall be well3190 with you.

10 至於我,我[behold]要住在米斯巴,伺候那[will]到我們這裏來的迦勒底人;只是你們當積蓄酒、油,和夏天的果子,收在器皿裏,住在你們所佔的城邑中。」

10 As for me,589 behold,2009 I will dwell3427 at Mizpah4709 to serve5975 6440 the Chaldeans,3778 which834 will come935 unto413 us: but ye,859 gather622 ye wine,3196 and summer fruits,7019 and oil,8081 and put7760 them in your vessels,3627 and dwell3427 in your cities5892 that834 ye have taken.8610

11 在摩押地和亞捫人中,在以東地和各國的一切猶太人,[Likewise]聽見巴比倫王留下些猶太人,並立沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利管理他們。

11 Likewise1571 when all3605 the Jews3064 that834 were in Moab,4124 and among the Ammonites,1121 5983 and in Edom,123 and that834 were in all3605 the countries,776 heard8085 that3588 the king4428 of Babylon894 had left5414 a remnant7611 of Judah,3063 and that3588 he had set6485 over5921 them853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan;8227

12 這一切猶太人就從所趕到的各處回來,到猶大地米斯巴的基大利那裏,又積蓄了許多的酒,並夏天的果子。

12 Even all3605 the Jews3064 returned7725 out of all4480 3605 places4725 whither834 8033 they were driven,5080 and came935 to the land776 of Judah,3063 to413 Gedaliah,1436 unto Mizpah,4708 and gathered622 wine3196 and summer fruits7019 very3966 much.7335

13 並且[Moreover]加利亞的兒子約哈難和在田野的一切軍長來到米斯巴見基大利,

13 Moreover Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 that834 were in the fields,7704 came935 to413 Gedaliah1436 to Mizpah,4708

14 對他說:「亞捫人的王巴利斯打發尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利來殺你[slay thee],你[certainly]知道嗎?」亞希甘的兒子基大利卻不信他們的話。

14 And said559 unto413 him, Dost thou certainly know3045 3045 that3588 Baalis1185 the king4428 of the Ammonites1121 5983 hath sent7971 853 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 to slay5221 5315 thee? But Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 believed539 them not.3808

15 加利亞的兒子約哈難在米斯巴私下對基大利說:「求你容我去殺尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利,必無人知道;何必讓他殺你[slay thee],使聚集到你這裏來的猶太人都分散,以致猶大剩下的人都滅亡呢?」

15 Then Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah7143 spoke559 to413 Gedaliah1436 in Mizpah4709 secretly,5643 saying,559 Let me go,1980 I pray thee,4994 and I will slay5221 853 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and no3808 man376 shall know3045 it: wherefore4100 should he slay5221 5315 thee, that all3605 the Jews3063 which are gathered6908 unto413 thee should be scattered,6327 and the remnant7611 in Judah3063 perish?6

16 亞希甘的兒子基大利對加利亞的兒子約哈難說:「你不可行這事;你所論以實瑪利的話是假的。」

16 But Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 said559 unto413 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 Thou shalt not408 do6213 853 this2088 thing:1697 for3588 thou859 speakest1696 falsely8267 of413 Ishmael.3458
