耶利米書 22

耶和華如此說：「你下到猶大王的宮中，在那裏說這話，

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:

說：『坐大衛寶座的猶大王啊，你和你的臣僕，並進入城門的百姓，都當聽耶和華的話。

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.

耶和華如此說：你們要施行公平和公義，拯救被搶奪的脫離欺壓人的手，不可虧負寄居的和孤兒寡婦，不可以強暴待他們，在這地方也不可流無辜人的血。

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.

你們若認真行這事，就必有坐大衛寶座的君王和他的臣僕百姓，或坐車或騎馬，從這城的各門進入。

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.

你們若不聽這些話，耶和華說：我指着自己起誓，這城必變為荒場。』

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.”’”

耶和華論到猶大王的家如此說： 我看你如基列， 如黎巴嫩頂； 然而，我必使你變為曠野， 為無人居住的城邑。

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.

我要預備行毀滅的人， 各拿器械攻擊你； 他們要砍下你佳美的香柏樹， 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.

「許多國的民要經過這城，各人對鄰舍說：『耶和華為何向這大城如此行呢？』

「 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?’

他們必回答說：『是因離棄了耶和華－他們上帝的約，事奉敬拜別神。』」

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.’”

不要為死人哭號； 不要為他悲傷， 卻要為離家出外的人大大哭號； 因為他不得再回來， 也不得再見他的本國。

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.

因為耶和華論到從這地方出去的猶大王約西亞的兒子沙龍 ，就是接續他父親約西亞作王的，這樣說：「他必不得再回到這裏來，

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.

卻要死在被擄去的地方，必不得再見這地。」

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.”

那行不義蓋房、行不公造樓、 白白使用人的手工不給工價的有禍了！

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;

他說：我要為自己蓋廣大的房、寬敞的樓， 為自己開窗戶。 這樓房的護牆板是香柏木的， 樓房是丹色油漆的。

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.

難道你作王是在乎造香柏木樓房爭勝嗎？ 你的父親豈不是也吃也喝、 也施行公平和公義嗎？ 那時他得了福樂。

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.

他為困苦和窮乏人伸冤， 那時就得了福樂。 認識我不在乎此嗎？ 這是耶和華說的。

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專顧貪婪， 流無辜人的血， 行欺壓和強暴。

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，耶和華論到猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬如此說： 人必不為他舉哀說： 哀哉！我的哥哥； 或說：哀哉！我的姊姊； 也不為他舉哀說： 哀哉！我的主； 或說：哀哉！我主的榮華。

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，好像埋驢一樣， 要拉出去扔在耶路撒冷的城門之外。

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.”

你要上黎巴嫩哀號， 在巴珊揚聲， 從亞巴琳哀號， 因為你所親愛的都毀滅了。

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.

你興盛的時候，我對你說話； 你卻說：我不聽。 你自幼年以來總是這樣， 不聽從我的話。

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.

你的牧人要被風吞吃， 你所親愛的必被擄去； 那時你必因你一切的惡抱愧蒙羞。

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.

你這住黎巴嫩、在香柏樹上搭窩的， 有痛苦臨到你， 好像疼痛臨到產難的婦人， 那時你何等可憐！

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!

耶和華說：「猶大王約雅敬的兒子哥尼雅 ，雖是我右手上帶印的戒指，我憑我的永生起誓，也必將你從其上摘下來，

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.

並且我必將你交給尋索你命的人和你所懼怕的人手中，就是巴比倫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.

我也必將你和生你的母親趕到別國，並不是你們生的地方；你們必死在那裏，

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.

但心中甚想歸回之地，必不得歸回。」

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.”

哥尼雅這人是被輕看、破壞的器皿嗎？ 是無人喜愛的器皿嗎？ 他和他的後裔為何被趕到不認識之地呢？

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，當聽耶和華的話！

dì a ， dì a ， dì a ， dāng tīng yē hé huá de huà ！

O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!

耶和華如此說： 要寫明這人算為無子， 是平生不得亨通的； 因為他後裔中再無一人得亨通， 能坐在大衛的寶座上治理猶大。

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.”
