Jeremiah 34

巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领他的全军和地上属他的各国各邦，攻打耶路撒冷和属耶路撒冷所有的城邑。那时，耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā shuài lǐng tā de quán jūn hé dì shàng shǔ tā de gè guó gè bāng ， gōng dǎ yē lù sā lěng hé shǔ yē lù sā lěng suǒ yǒu de chéng yì 。 nà shí ， yē hé huá de huà lín dào yē lì mǐ shuō ：

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying:

「耶和华—以色列的 神说，你去告诉犹大王西底家，耶和华如此说：我要将这城交付巴比伦王的手，他必用火焚烧。

「 yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén shuō ， nǐ qù gào sù yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā ， yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ yào jiāng zhè chéng jiāo fù bā bǐ lún wáng de shǒu ， tā bì yòng huǒ fén shāo 。

“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, the LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.

你必不能逃脱他的手，定被拿住，交在他的手中。你的眼要见巴比伦王的眼，他要口对口和你说话，你也必到巴比伦去。

nǐ bì bù néng táo tuō tā de shǒu ， dìng bèi ná zhù ， jiāo zài tā de shǒu zhōng 。 nǐ de yǎn yào jiàn bā bǐ lún wáng de yǎn ， tā yào kǒu duì kǒu hé nǐ shuō huà ， nǐ yě bì dào bā bǐ lún qù 。

You won’t escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will go to Babylon.”’

犹大王西底家啊，你还要听耶和华的话。耶和华论到你如此说：你必不被刀剑杀死，

yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā a ， nǐ hái yào tīng yē hé huá de huà 。 yē hé huá lùn dào nǐ rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ bì bú bèi dāo jiàn shā sǐ ，

“Yet hear the LORD’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. The LORD says concerning you, ‘You won’t die by the sword.

你必平安而死，人必为你焚烧物件，好像为你列祖，就是在你以前的先王焚烧一般。人必为你举哀说：『哀哉！我主啊。』耶和华说：这话是我说的。」

nǐ bì píng ān ér sǐ ， rén bì wèi nǐ fén shāo wù jiàn ， hǎo xiàng wèi nǐ liè zǔ ， jiù shì zài nǐ yǐ qián de xiān wáng fén shāo yì bān 。 rén bì wèi nǐ jǔ āi shuō ：『 āi zāi ！ wǒ zhǔ a 。』 yē hé huá shuō ： zhè huà shì wǒ shuō de 。」

You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says the LORD.”

于是，先知耶利米在耶路撒冷将这一切话告诉犹大王西底家。

yú shì ， xiān zhī yē lì mǐ zài yē lù sā lěng jiāng zhè yí qiè huà gào sù yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā 。

Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

那时，巴比伦王的军队正攻打耶路撒冷，又攻打犹大所剩下的城邑，就是拉吉和亚西加。原来犹大的坚固城只剩下这两座。

nà shí ， bā bǐ lún wáng de jūn duì zhèng gōng dǎ yē lù sā lěng ， yòu gōng dǎ yóu dà suǒ shèng xià de chéng yì ， jiù shì lā jí hé yà xī jiā 。 yuán lái yóu dà de jiān gù chéng zhī shèng xià zhè liǎng zuò 。

when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.

西底家王与耶路撒冷的众民立约，要向他们宣告自由，叫各人任他希伯来的仆人和婢女自由出去，谁也不可使他的一个犹大弟兄作奴仆。（此后，有耶和华的话临到耶利米。）

xī dǐ jiā wáng yǔ yē lù sā lěng de zhòng mín lì yuē ， yào xiàng tā men xuān gào zì yóu ， jiào gè rén rèn tā xī bó lái de pú rén hé bì nǚ zì yóu chū qù ， shuí yě bù kě shǐ tā de yí gè yóu dà dì xiong zuò nú pú 。（ cǐ hòu ， yǒu yē hé huá de huà lín dào yē lì mǐ 。）

The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,

that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.

所有立约的首领和众民就任他的仆人婢女自由出去，谁也不再叫他们作奴仆。大家都顺从，将他们释放了；

suǒ yǒu lì yuē de shǒu lǐng hé zhòng mín jiù rèn tā de pú rén bì nǚ zì yóu chū qù ， shuí yě bú zài jiào tā men zuò nú pú 。 dà jiā dōu shùn cóng ， jiāng tā men shì fàng le ；

All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go,

后来却又反悔，叫所任去自由的仆人婢女回来，勉强他们仍为仆婢。

hòu lái què yòu fǎn huǐ ， jiào suǒ rèn qù zì yóu de pú rén bì nǚ huí lái ， miǎn qiǎng tā men réng wèi pú bì 。

but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

因此耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

yīn cǐ yē hé huá de huà lín dào yē lì mǐ shuō ：

Therefore the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

「耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我将你们的列祖从埃及地为奴之家领出来的时候，与他们立约说：

「 yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ jiāng nǐ men de liè zǔ cóng āi jí dì wèi nú zhī jiā lǐng chū lái de shí hòu ， yǔ tā men lì yuē shuō ：

“The LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:

『你的一个希伯来弟兄若卖给你，服事你六年，到第七年你们各人就要任他自由出去。』只是你们列祖不听从我，也不侧耳而听。

『 nǐ de yí gè xī bó lái dì xiōng ruò mài gěi nǐ ， fú shì nǐ liù nián ， dào dì qī nián nǐ men gè rén jiù yào rèn tā zì yóu chū qù 。』 zhǐ shì nǐ men liè zǔ bù tīng cóng wǒ ， yě bú cè ěr ér tīng 。

At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline their ear.

如今你们回转，行我眼中看为正的事，各人向邻舍宣告自由，并且在称为我名下的殿中、在我面前立约。

rú jīn nǐ men huí zhuǎn ， xíng wǒ yǎn zhōng kàn wèi zhèng de shì ， gè rén xiàng lín shè xuān gào zì yóu ， bìng qiě zài chēng wéi wǒ míng xià de diàn zhōng 、 zài wǒ miàn qián lì yuē 。

You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name;

你们却又反悔，亵渎我的名，各人叫所任去随意自由的仆人婢女回来，勉强他们仍为仆婢。

nǐ men què yòu fǎn huǐ ， xiè dú wǒ de míng ， gè rén jiào suǒ rèn qù suí yì zì yóu de pú rén bì nǚ huí lái ， miǎn qiǎng tā men réng wèi pú bì 。

but you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.’”

所以耶和华如此说：你们没有听从我，各人向弟兄邻舍宣告自由。看哪！我向你们宣告一样自由，就是使你们自由于刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫之下，并且使你们在天下万国中抛来抛去。这是耶和华说的。

suǒ yǐ yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ men méi yǒu tīng cóng wǒ ， gè rén xiàng dì xiong lín shè xuān gào zì yóu 。 kàn nǎ ！ wǒ xiàng nǐ men xuān gào yí yàng zì yóu ， jiù shì shǐ nǐ men zì yóu yú dāo jiàn 、 jī huāng 、 wēn yì zhī xià ， bìng qiě shǐ nǐ men zài tiān xià wàn guó zhōng pāo lái pāo qù 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

Therefore the LORD says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says the LORD, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

犹大的首领、耶路撒冷的首领、太监、祭司，和国中的众民曾将牛犊劈开，分成两半，从其中经过，在我面前立约。后来又违背我的约，不遵行这约上的话。

yóu dà de shǒu lǐng 、 yē lù sā lěng de shǒu lǐng 、 tài jian 、 jì sī ， hé guó zhōng de zhòng mín céng jiāng niú dú pī kāi ， fēn chéng liǎng bàn ， cóng qí zhōng jīng guò ， zài wǒ miàn qián lì yuē 。 hòu lái yòu wéi bèi wǒ de yuē ， bù zūn xíng zhè yuē shàng de huà 。

I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:

the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf.

我必将他们交在仇敌和寻索其命的人手中；他们的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物。

wǒ bì jiāng tā men jiāo zài chóu dí hé xún suǒ qí mìng de rén shǒu zhōng ； tā men de shī shǒu bì gěi kōng zhōng de fēi niǎo hé dì shàng de yě shòu zuò shí wù 。

I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.

并且我必将犹大王西底家和他的首领交在他们仇敌和寻索其命的人，与那暂离你们而去巴比伦王军队的手中。

bìng qiě wǒ bì jiāng yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā hé tā de shǒu lǐng jiāo zài tā men chóu dí hé xún suǒ qí mìng de rén ， yǔ nà zàn lí nǐ men ér qù bā bǐ lún wáng jūn duì de shǒu zhōng 。

“I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away from you.

耶和华说：我必吩咐他们回到这城，攻打这城，将城攻取，用火焚烧。我也要使犹大的城邑变为荒场，无人居住。」

yē hé huá shuō ： wǒ bì fēn fù tā men huí dào zhè chéng ， gōng dǎ zhè chéng ， jiāng chéng gōng qǔ ， yòng huǒ fén shāo 。 wǒ yě yào shǐ yóu dà de chéng yì biàn wèi huāng chǎng ， wú rén jū zhù 。」

Behold, I will command,” says the LORD, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
