耶利米書

第29章

1 先知耶利米從耶路撒冷寄信與被擄去［away］、仍生存的長老［residue of the elders］，和［and］祭司、先知，並尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷擄到巴比倫去的眾民［and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon］。

2 （這在耶哥尼雅王和太后、太監，並猶大、耶路撒冷的首領，以及木匠［carpenters］、鐵匠都離了耶路撒冷以後。）

3 他藉沙番的兒子以利亞薩和希勒家的兒子基瑪利的手寄去，（他們二人是猶大王西底家打發往巴比倫去見尼布甲尼撒王的。）信上說［saying］：

4 「大軍之耶和華［LORD of hosts］─以色列的神對一切被擄去的，就是我使他們從耶路撒冷被擄到巴比倫的人如此說：

5 你們要蓋造房屋，住在其中；栽種田園，吃其中所產的；

6 娶妻生兒女，為你們的兒子娶妻，使你們的女兒嫁人，生兒養女，在那裏你們好［that ye may］生養增多［increased］，不致減少。

7 我所使你們被擄到的那城，你們要為那城求平安，為那城禱告耶和華；因為那城得平安，你們也隨著得平安。

8 大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說：不要被你們中間的先知和占卜的迷惑［deceive］，也不要聽信自己所作的夢。

9 因為他們託我的名對你們說假預言；我並沒有差遣他們。這是耶和華說的。

10 「耶和華如此說：在［at］巴比倫所定的七十年滿了以後，我要眷顧你們，向你們成就我的恩言，使你們仍回此地。

11 耶和華說：我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安［peace］的意念，不是降災禍的意念，要叫你們終久有指望［expected end］。

12 那時［Then］，你們要呼求我，禱告我，我就聽允［hearken］你們。

13 你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。

14 耶和華說：我必被你們尋見，我也必使你們被擄的人歸回，將你們從各國中和我所趕你們到的各處招聚了來，又將你們帶回我使你們被擄掠離開的地方。這是耶和華說的。

15 「因為［Because］你們說：『耶和華在巴比倫為我們興起先知了［hath raised］』；

16 當曉得［Know that］耶和華論到坐大衛寶座的王和住在這城裏的一切百姓，並你們［and of your］未與你們一同被擄的弟兄，

17 大軍之耶和華如此說：『看哪，我必使刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫臨到他們，使他們像極壞的無花果，壞得不可吃。

18 我必用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫逼迫［persecute］他們，使他們被徙到地上的列國［removed to all the kingdoms of the earth］，在我所趕他們到的各國中，令人咒詛、驚駭、嗤笑、羞辱。

19 耶和華說：這是因為他們沒有聽從我的話，就是我從早起來藉著［by］差遣我僕人眾先知去說的，無奈他們不聽。這是耶和華說的。

20 所以你們一切被擄去的，就是我從耶路撒冷打發到巴比倫去的，當聽耶和華的話；』」

21 大軍之耶和華─以色列的神論到哥賴雅的兒子亞哈，並瑪西雅的兒子西底家，如此說：「他們是託我名向你們說假預言的。看哪［Behold］，我必將他們交在巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手中；他要在你們眼前殺害他們。

22 住巴比倫一切被擄的猶大人必藉這二人咒詛［curse］說：『願耶和華使你像巴比倫王在火中燒的西底家和亞哈一樣。』

23 這二人是在以色列中犯了極惡的事［committed villany］，又［and］與鄰居的妻犯了姦淫［committed adultery］，並且［and］假託我名說我未曾吩咐他們的謊［lying］話。知道的是我，作見證的也是我，這是耶和華說的。」

24 「你又要對尼希蘭人示瑪雅如此說［Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying］：

25 大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說：你既［Because］曾用自己的名寄信給耶路撒冷的眾民和祭司瑪西雅的兒子西番雅，並眾祭司，說：

26 『耶和華已經立你西番雅為祭司，代替祭司耶何耶大，使耶和華殿中有官長，好將一切狂妄自稱為先知的人用監囚住［put him in prison］，用枷枷住［and in the stocks］。

27 既然如此［therefore］，現在亞拿突人耶利米向你們自稱為先知，你［thou］為何沒有責備他呢？

28 因為他寄信給我們在巴比倫的人說：這［This］被擄的事必長久。你們要蓋造房屋，住在其中；栽種田園，吃其中所產的。』」

29 祭司西番雅就把這信念給先知耶利米聽。

30 於是耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：

31 「你當寄信給一切被擄的人說：『耶和華論到尼希蘭人示瑪雅說，因為那［that］示瑪雅向你們說預言，我並沒有差遣他，他使你們倚靠謊言；

32 所以耶和華如此說：看哪［Behold］，我必刑罰尼希蘭人示瑪雅和他的後裔，他必無一人存留住在這民中，也不得見我所要賜與我百姓的福樂，因為他曾唆教百姓叛逆耶和華［taught rebellion against the LORD］。這是耶和華說的。』」

Jeremiah

Chapter 29

1 NOW these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to Babylon, to the rest of the elders who were in exile and to the priests and to the false prophets and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried captive from Jerusalem to Babylon

2 (After Jeconiah the king and the queen and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen and the guard had departed from Jerusalem),

3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,

4 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who are carried away captives, from Jerusalem to Babylon:

5 Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat the fruit of them;

6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and not decrease.

7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray to the LORD for it; for in the peace thereof shall you have peace.

8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, neither listen to your dreams which you dream.

9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name; I have not sent them, says the LORD.

10 For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon I will deliver you and perform my good word toward you in bringing you back to this country.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a good hope at the end.

12 Then you shall call upon me and pray to me.

13 And when you shall seek me with all your heart, you shall find me, says the LORD.

14 And I will bring back your exiles, and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the lands where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.

15 Because you have said, The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon;

16 Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning the king who sits on the throne of David and concerning all the people who dwell in this city and your brethren who did not go out with you into captivity;

17 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will send upon them the sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like bad figs which are so bad that they cannot be eaten.

18 And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an astonishment, a curse, a reproach, and a hissing among all the nations where I have driven them,

19 Because they did not hearken to my words, and I sent to them all my servants the prophets, warning them in advance, but they did not listen to them, says the LORD.

20 Hear therefore the word of the LORD, all you exiles who were carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maasiah, who prophesy lies to you: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;

22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the exiles who are in Babylon; they shall say, The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

23 Because they have done wickedness in Israel and have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know and I am a witness, says the LORD.

24 And to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, you shall say,

25 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have sent a letter in his name to all the people who are in Jerusalem and to Zephaniah the son of Maasiah the priest and to all the priests, saying,

26 The LORD has made you priest instead of Jehoiadah the priest, to be an officer in the house of the LORD over every man who acts foolishly and prophesies falsehood, to put him in prison and in the stocks.

27 Now, therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?

28 For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, You shall remain there for a long time; therefore, build houses and dwell in them; and plant gardens and eat the fruit of them.

29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

30 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

31 Send to all of them who are in captivity, saying, Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you the thing which I did not send him to prophesy and has caused you to trust in a lie;

32 Therefore, thus says the LORD: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his posterity; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he see the good which I will do for my people, says the LORD, because he has spoken iniquity against the LORD.

10 「耶和華如此說：在［at］巴比倫所定的七十年滿了以後，我要眷顧你們，向你們成就我的恩言，使你們仍回此地。	10 For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon I will deliver you and perform my good word toward you in bringing you back to this country.

13 你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。	13 And when you shall seek me with all your heart, you shall find me, says the LORD.
14 耶和華說：我必被你們尋見，我也必使你們被擄的人歸回，將你們從各國中和我所趕你們到的各處招聚了來，又將你們帶回我使你們被擄掠離開的地方。這是耶和華說的。	14 And I will bring back your exiles, and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the lands where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 「因為［Because］你們說：『耶和華在巴比倫為我們興起先知了［hath raised］』；	15 Because you have said, The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon;
16 當曉得［Know that］耶和華論到坐大衛寶座的王和住在這城裏的一切百姓，並你們［and of your］未與你們一同被擄的弟兄，	16 Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning the king who sits on the throne of David and concerning all the people who dwell in this city and your brethren who did not go out with you into captivity;

24 「你又要對尼希蘭人示瑪雅如此說［Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying］：	24 And to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, you shall say,
25 大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說：你既［Because］曾用自己的名寄信給耶路撒冷的眾民和祭司瑪西雅的兒子西番雅，並眾祭司，說：	25 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have sent a letter in his name to all the people who are in Jerusalem and to Zephaniah the son of Maasiah the priest and to all the priests, saying,
26 『耶和華已經立你西番雅為祭司，代替祭司耶何耶大，使耶和華殿中有官長，好將一切狂妄自稱為先知的人用監囚住［put him in prison］，用枷枷住［and in the stocks］。	26 The LORD has made you priest instead of Jehoiadah the priest, to be an officer in the house of the LORD over every man who acts foolishly and prophesies falsehood, to put him in prison and in the stocks.
27 既然如此［therefore］，現在亞拿突人耶利米向你們自稱為先知，你［thou］為何沒有責備他呢？	27 Now, therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?

29 祭司西番雅就把這信念給先知耶利米聽。	29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 於是耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：	30 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
31 「你當寄信給一切被擄的人說：『耶和華論到尼希蘭人示瑪雅說，因為那［that］示瑪雅向你們說預言，我並沒有差遣他，他使你們倚靠謊言；	31 Send to all of them who are in captivity, saying, Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you the thing which I did not send him to prophesy and has caused you to trust in a lie;
