旧约 -- 耶利米书(Jeremiah) -- 第27章
27:1 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬(约雅敬是西底家的别名,看第三节)登基的时候,有这话从耶和华临到耶利米说,In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
27:2 耶和华对我如此说,你作绳索与轭,加在自己的颈项上,Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
27:3 藉那些来到耶路撒冷见犹大王西底家的使臣之手,把绳索与轭送到以东王,摩押王,亚扪王,推罗王,西顿王那里,And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
27:4 且嘱咐使臣,传与他们的主人说,万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说,And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
27:5 我用大能和伸出来的膀臂,创造大地和地上的人民,牲畜。我看给谁相宜,就把地给谁。
I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
27:6 现在!我将这些地都交给我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手,我也将田野的走兽给他使用。
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
27:7 列国都必服事他和他的儿孙,直到他本国遭报的日期来到。那时,多国和大君王要使他作他们的奴仆。
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
27:8 无论哪一邦哪一国,不肯服事这巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒,也不把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下,我必用刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫刑罚那邦,直到我藉巴比伦王的手将他们毁灭。这是耶和华说的。
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
27:9 至于你们,不可听从你们的先知和占卜的,圆梦的,观兆的,以及行邪术的。他们告诉你们说,你们不致服事巴比伦王。
Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
27:10 他们向你们说假预言,要叫你们迁移,远离本地,以致我将你们赶出去,使你们灭亡。
For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
27:11 但哪一邦肯把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下服事他,我必使那邦仍在本地存留,得以耕种居住。这是耶和华说的。
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
27:12 我就照这一切的话对犹大王西底家说,要把你们的颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下,服事他和他的百姓,便得存活。
I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
27:13 你和你的百姓为何要因刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫死亡,正如耶和华论到不服事巴比伦王的那国说的话呢。
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
27:14 不可听那些先知对你们所说的话。他们说,你们不致服事巴比伦王,其实他们向你们说假预言。
Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
27:15 耶和华说,我并没有打发他们,他们却托我的名说假预言,好使我将你们和向你们说预言的那些先知赶出去,一同灭亡。
For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
27:16 我又对祭司和这众民说,耶和华如此说,你们不可听那先知对你们所说的预言。他们说,耶和华殿中的器皿快要从巴比伦带回来。其实他们向你们说假预言。
Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
27:17 不可听从他们,只管服事巴比伦王便得存活。这城何致变为荒场呢。
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
27:18 他们若果是先知,有耶和华的话临到他们,让他们祈求万军之耶和华,使那在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫内,并耶路撒冷剩下的器皿,不被带到巴比伦去。
But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
27:19 因为万军之耶和华论到柱子,铜海,盆座,并剩在这城里的器皿,For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
27:20 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒掳掠犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅,和犹大,耶路撒冷一切贵胄的时候所没有掠去的器皿。
Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
27:21 论到那在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫内,并耶路撒冷剩下的器皿,万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说,Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
27:22 必被带到巴比伦存在那里,直到我眷顾以色列人的日子。那时,我必将这器皿带回来,交还此地。这是耶和华说的。
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
