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 Jehovah, saying,
|
|
27:2
|
「耶和华对我如此说：你做绳索与轭，加在自己的颈项上，
|
|
|
Thus saith Jehovah to me: Make thee bonds and bars, 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 children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers that 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 give them a charge unto their masters, saying, Thus saith Jehovah 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 men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right 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 also have I given him 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 the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son`s son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman.
|
|
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 the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith Jehovah, 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：『你们不至服事巴比伦王。』
|
|
|
But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that 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 nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that [nation] will I let remain in their own land, saith Jehovah; 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。
|
|
|
And I spake 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 Jehovah hath spoken concerning 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：『你们不至服事巴比伦王』，其实他们向你们说假预言。
|
|
|
And 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 Jehovah, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that ye may 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 Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah`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 become a desolation?
|
|
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 Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left 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、耶路撒冷一切贵冑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 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at 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 Jehovah; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
