Jeremiah 22
耶和华如此说:「你下到犹大王的宫中,在那里说这话,
yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō :「 nǐ xià dào yóu dà wáng de gōng zhōng , zài nà lǐ shuō zhè huà ,
The LORD said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
说:『坐大卫宝座的犹大王啊,你和你的臣仆,并进入城门的百姓,都当听耶和华的话。
shuō :『 zuò dà wèi bǎo zuò de yóu dà wáng a , nǐ hé nǐ de chén pú , bìng jìn rù chéng mén de bǎi xìng , dōu dāng tīng yē hé huá de huà 。
‘Hear the LORD’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
耶和华如此说:你们要施行公平和公义,拯救被抢夺的脱离欺压人的手,不可亏负寄居的和孤儿寡妇,不可以强暴待他们,在这地方也不可流无辜人的血。
yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō : nǐ men yào shī xíng gōng píng hé gōng yì , zhěng jiù bèi qiǎng duó de tuō lí qī yā rén de shǒu , bù kě kuī fù jì jū de hé gū ér guǎ fù , bù kě yǐ qiáng bào dài tā men , zài zhè dì fāng yě bù kě liú wú gū rén de xuè 。
The LORD says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
你们若认真行这事,就必有坐大卫宝座的君王和他的臣仆百姓,或坐车或骑马,从这城的各门进入。
nǐ men ruò rèn zhēn xíng zhè shì , jiù bì yǒu zuò dà wèi bǎo zuò de jūn wáng hé tā de chén pú bǎi xìng , huò zuò chē huò qí mǎ , cóng zhè chéng de gè mén jìn rù 。
For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
你们若不听这些话,耶和华说:我指着自己起誓,这城必变为荒场。』
nǐ men ruò bù tīng zhè xiē huà , yē hé huá shuō : wǒ zhǐ zhe zì jǐ qǐ shì , zhè chéng bì biàn wèi huāng chǎng 。』
But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says the LORD, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”
耶和华论到犹大王的家如此说: 我看你如基列, 如黎巴嫩顶; 然而,我必使你变为旷野, 为无人居住的城邑。
yē hé huá lùn dào yóu dà wáng de jiā rú cǐ shuō : wǒ kàn nǐ rú jī liè , rú lí bā nèn dǐng ; rán ér , wǒ bì shǐ nǐ biàn wèi kuàng yě , wèi wú rén jū zhù de chéng yì 。
For the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
我要预备行毁灭的人, 各拿器械攻击你; 他们要砍下你佳美的香柏树, 扔在火中。
wǒ yào yù bèi xíng huǐ miè de rén , gè ná qì xiè gōng jī nǐ ; tā men yào kǎn xià nǐ jiā měi de xiāng bǎi shù , rēng zài huǒ zhōng 。
I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
「许多国的民要经过这城,各人对邻舍说:『耶和华为何向这大城如此行呢?』
「 xǔ duō guó de mín yào jīng guò zhè chéng , gè rén duì lín shè shuō :『 yē hé huá wèi hé xiàng zhè dài chéng rú cǐ xíng ne ?』
“Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’
他们必回答说:『是因离弃了耶和华—他们 神的约,事奉敬拜别神。』」
tā men bì huí dá shuō :『 shì yīn lí qì le yē hé huá — tā men shén de yuē , shì fèng jìng bài bié shén 。』」
Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”
不要为死人哭号; 不要为他悲伤, 却要为离家出外的人大大哭号; 因为他不得再回来, 也不得再见他的本国。
bú yào wèi sǐ rén kū hào ; bú yào wèi tā bēi shāng , què yào wèi lí jiā chū wài de rén dà dà kū hào ; yīn wèi tā bù dé zài huí lái , yě bù dé zài jiàn tā de běn guó 。
Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
因为耶和华论到从这地方出去的犹大王约西亚的儿子沙龙 ,就是接续他父亲约西亚作王的,这样说:「他必不得再回到这里来,
yīn wèi yē hé huá lùn dào cóng zhè dì fāng chū qù de yóu dà wáng yuē xī yà de ér zi shā lóng , jiù shì jiē xù tā fù qīn yuē xī yà zuò wáng de , zhè yàng shuō :「 tā bì bù dé zài huí dào zhè lǐ lái ,
For the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
却要死在被掳去的地方,必不得再见这地。」
què yào sǐ zài bèi lǔ qù de dì fāng , bì bù dé zài jiàn zhè dì 。」
But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
那行不义盖房、行不公造楼、 白白使用人的手工不给工价的有祸了!
nà xíng bú yì gài fáng 、 xíng bù gōng zào lóu 、 bái bái shǐ yòng rén de shǒu gōng bù gěi gōng jià de yǒu huò le !
“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
他说:我要为自己盖广大的房、宽敞的楼, 为自己开窗户。 这楼房的护墙板是香柏木的, 楼房是丹色油漆的。
tā shuō : wǒ yào wèi zì jǐ gài guǎng dà de fáng 、 kuān chǎng de lóu , wèi zì jǐ kāi chuāng hù 。 zhè lóu fáng de hù qiáng bǎn shì xiāng bǎi mù de , lóu fáng shì dān sè yóu qī de 。
who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
难道你作王是在乎造香柏木楼房争胜吗? 你的父亲岂不是也吃也喝、 也施行公平和公义吗? 那时他得了福乐。
nán dào nǐ zuò wáng shì zài hū zào xiāng bǎi mù lóu fáng zhēng shèng ma ? nǐ de fù qīn qǐ bú shì yě chī yě hē 、 yě shī xíng gōng píng hé gōng yì ma ? nà shí tā dé le fú lè 。
“Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
他为困苦和穷乏人伸冤, 那时就得了福乐。 认识我不在乎此吗? 这是耶和华说的。
tā wèi kùn kǔ hé qióng fá rén shēn yuān , nà shí jiù dé le fú lè 。 rèn shi wǒ bú zài hu cǐ ma ? zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says the LORD.
惟有你的眼和你的心专顾贪婪, 流无辜人的血, 行欺压和强暴。
wéi yǒu nǐ de yǎn hé nǐ de xīn zhuān gù tān lán , liú wú gū rén de xuè , xíng qī yā hé qiáng bào 。
But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
所以,耶和华论到犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬如此说: 人必不为他举哀说: 哀哉!我的哥哥; 或说:哀哉!我的姐姐; 也不为他举哀说: 哀哉!我的主; 或说:哀哉!我主的荣华。
suǒ yǐ , yē hé huá lùn dào yóu dà wáng yuē xī yà de ér zi yuē yǎ jìng rú cǐ shuō : rén bì bú wèi tā jǔ āi shuō : āi zāi ! wǒ de gē ge ; huò shuō : āi zāi ! wǒ de jiě jie ; yě bú wèi tā jǔ āi shuō : āi zāi ! wǒ de zhǔ ; huò shuō : āi zāi ! wǒ zhǔ de róng huá 。
Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
他被埋葬,好像埋驴一样, 要拉出去扔在耶路撒冷的城门之外。
tā bèi mái zàng , hǎo xiàng mái lǘ yí yàng , yào lā chū qù rēng zài yē lù sā lěng de chéng mén zhī wài 。
He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
你要上黎巴嫩哀号, 在巴珊扬声, 从亚巴琳哀号, 因为你所亲爱的都毁灭了。
nǐ yào shàng lí bā nèn āi háo , zài bā shān yáng shēng , cóng yà bā lín āi háo , yīn wèi nǐ suǒ qīn ài de dōu huǐ miè le 。
“Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
你兴盛的时候,我对你说话; 你却说:我不听。 你自幼年以来总是这样, 不听从我的话。
nǐ xīng shèng de shí hòu , wǒ duì nǐ shuō huà ; nǐ què shuō : wǒ bù tīng 。 nǐ zì yòu nián yǐ lái zǒng shì zhè yàng , bù tīng cóng wǒ de huà 。
I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
你的牧人要被风吞吃, 你所亲爱的必被掳去; 那时你必因你一切的恶抱愧蒙羞。
nǐ de mù rén yào bèi fēng tūn chī , nǐ suǒ qīn ài de bì bèi lǔ qù ; nà shí nǐ bì yīn nǐ yí qiè de è bào kuì méng xiū 。
The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
你这住黎巴嫩、在香柏树上搭窝的, 有痛苦临到你, 好像疼痛临到产难的妇人, 那时你何等可怜!
nǐ zhè zhù lí bā nèn 、 zài xiāng bǎi shù shàng dā wō de , yǒu tòng kǔ lín dào nǐ , hǎo xiàng téng tòng lín dào chǎn nán de fù rén , nà shí nǐ hé děng kě lián !
Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
耶和华说:「犹大王约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅 ,虽是我右手上带印的戒指,我凭我的永生起誓,也必将你从其上摘下来,
yē hé huá shuō :「 yóu dà wáng yuē yǎ jìng de ér zi gē ní yǎ , suī shì wǒ yòu shǒu shàng dài yìn de jiè zhǐ , wǒ píng wǒ de yǒng shēng qǐ shì , yě bì jiāng nǐ cóng qí shàng zhāi xià lái ,
“As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
并且我必将你交给寻索你命的人和你所惧怕的人手中,就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和迦勒底人的手中。
bìng qiě wǒ bì jiāng nǐ jiāo gěi xún suǒ nǐ mìng de rén hé nǐ suǒ jù pà de rén shǒu zhōng , jiù shì bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā hé jiā lè dǐ rén de shǒu zhōng 。
I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
我也必将你和生你的母亲赶到别国,并不是你们生的地方;你们必死在那里,
wǒ yě bì jiāng nǐ hé shēng nǐ de mǔ qīn gǎn dào bié guó , bìng bú shì nǐ men shēng de dì fāng ; nǐ men bì sǐ zài nà lǐ ,
I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
但心中甚想归回之地,必不得归回。」
dàn xīn zhōng shèn xiǎng guī huí zhī dì , bì bù dé guī huí 。」
But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
哥尼雅这人是被轻看、破坏的器皿吗? 是无人喜爱的器皿吗? 他和他的后裔为何被赶到不认识之地呢?
gē ní yǎ zhè rén shì bèi qīng kàn 、 pò huài de qì mǐn ma ? shì wú rén xǐ ài de qì mǐn ma ? tā hé tā de hòu yì wèi hé bèi gǎn dào bú rèn shi zhī dì ne ?
Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
地啊,地啊,地啊,当听耶和华的话!
dì a , dì a , dì a , dāng tīng yē hé huá de huà !
O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!
耶和华如此说: 要写明这人算为无子, 是平生不得亨通的; 因为他后裔中再无一人得亨通, 能坐在大卫的宝座上治理犹大。
yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō : yào xiě míng zhè rén suàn wèi wú zǐ , shì píng shēng bù dé hēng tōng de ; yīn wèi tā hòu yì zhōng zài wú yì rén dé hēng tōng , néng zuò zài dà wèi de bǎo zuò shàng zhì lǐ yóu dà 。
The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”
