耶利米書 39

猶大王西底家第九年十月，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領全軍來圍困耶路撒冷。

yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā dì jiǔ nián shí yuè ， bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā shuài lǐng quán jūn lái wéi kùn yē lù sā lěng 。

In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.

西底家十一年四月初九日，城被攻破。

xī dǐ jiā shí yī nián sì yuè chū jiǔ rì ， chéng bèi gōng pò 。

In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.

耶路撒冷被攻取的時候，巴比倫王的首領尼甲‧沙利薛、三甲‧尼波、撒西金－拉撒力、尼甲‧沙利薛－拉墨，並巴比倫王其餘的一切首領都來坐在中門。

yē lù sā lěng bèi gōng qǔ de shí hòu ， bā bǐ lún wáng de shǒu lǐng ní jiǎ · shā lì xuē 、 sān jiǎ · ní bō 、 sā xī jīn — lā sā lì 、 ní jiǎ · shā lì xuē — lā mò ， bìng bā bǐ lún wáng qí yú de yí qiè shǒu lǐng dōu lái zuò zài zhōng mén 。

All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

猶大王西底家和一切兵丁看見他們，就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門出城逃跑，往亞拉巴逃去。

yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā hé yí qiè bīng dīng kàn jiàn tā men ， jiù zài yè jiān cóng kào jìn wáng yuán liǎng chéng zhōng jiān de mén chū chéng táo pǎo ， wǎng yà lā bā táo qù 。

When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

迦勒底的軍隊追趕他們，在耶利哥的平原追上西底家，將他拿住，帶到哈馬地的利比拉、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒那裏；尼布甲尼撒就審判他。

jiā lè dǐ de jūn duì zhuī gǎn tā men ， zài yē lì gē de píng yuán zhuī shàng xī dǐ jiā ， jiāng tā ná zhù ， dài dào hā mǎ dì de lì bǐ lā 、 bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā nà lǐ ； ní bù jiǎ ní sā jiù shěn pàn tā 。

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.

巴比倫王在利比拉、西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，又殺了猶大的一切貴冑，

bā bǐ lún wáng zài lì bǐ lā 、 xī dǐ jiā yǎn qián shā le tā de zhòng zǐ ， yòu shā le yóu dà de yí qiè guì zhòu ，

Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.

並且剜西底家的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖着他，要帶到巴比倫去。

bìng qiě wān xī dǐ jiā de yǎn jīng ， yòng tóng liàn suǒ zhe tā ， yào dài dào bā bǐ lún qù 。

Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

迦勒底人用火焚燒王宮和百姓的房屋，又拆毀耶路撒冷的城牆。

jiā lè dǐ rén yòng huǒ fén shāo wáng gōng hé bǎi xìng de fáng wū ， yòu chāi huǐ yē lù sā lěng de chéng qiáng 。

The Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

那時，護衛長尼布撒拉旦將城裏所剩下的百姓和投降他的逃民，以及其餘的民都擄到巴比倫去了。

nà shí ， hù wèi cháng ní bù sā lā dàn jiāng chéng lǐ suǒ shèng xià de bǎi xìng hé tóu xiáng tā de táo mín ， yǐ jí qí yú de mín dōu lǔ dào bā bǐ lún qù le 。

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.

護衛長尼布撒拉旦卻將民中毫無所有的窮人留在猶大地，當時給他們葡萄園和田地。

hù wèi cháng ní bù sā lā dàn què jiāng mín zhōng háo wú suǒ yǒu de qióng rén liú zài yóu dà dì ， dāng shí gěi tā men pú táo yuán hé tián dì 。

But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒提到耶利米，囑咐護衛長尼布撒拉旦說：

bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā tí dào yē lì mǐ ， zhǔ fù hù wèi cháng ní bù sā lā dàn shuō ：

Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,

「你領他去，好好地看待他，切不可害他；他對你怎麼說，你就向他怎麼行。」

「 nǐ lǐng tā qù ， hǎo hǎo dì kàn dài tā ， qiè bù kě hài tā ； tā duì nǐ zěn me shuō ， nǐ jiù xiàng tā zěn me xíng 。」

“Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.”

護衛長尼布撒拉旦和尼布沙斯班－拉撒力、尼甲‧沙利薛－拉墨，並巴比倫王的一切官長，

hù wèi cháng ní bù sā lā dàn hé ní bù shā sī bān — lā sā lì 、 ní jiǎ · shā lì xuē — lā mò ， bìng bā bǐ lún wáng de yí qiè guān zhǎng ，

So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon

打發人去，將耶利米從護衛兵院中提出來，交與沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利，帶回家去。於是耶利米住在民中。

dǎ fā rén qù ， jiāng yē lì mǐ cóng hù wèi bīng yuàn zhōng tí chū lái ， jiāo yǔ shā fān de sūn zǐ yà xī gān de ér zi jī dà lì ， dài huí jiā qù 。 yú shì yē lì mǐ zhù zài mín zhōng 。

sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived among the people.

耶利米還囚在護衛兵院中的時候，耶和華的話臨到他說：

yē lì mǐ hái qiú zài hù wèi bīng yuàn zhōng de shí hòu ， yē hé huá de huà lín dào tā shuō ：

Now the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

「你去告訴古實人以伯‧米勒說，萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：我說降禍不降福的話必臨到這城，到那時必在你面前成就了。

「 nǐ qù gào sù gǔ shí rén yǐ bó · mǐ lè shuō ， wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ shuō jiàng huò bú jiàng fú de huà bì lín dào zhè chéng ， dào nà shí bì zài nǐ miàn qián chéng jiù le 。

“Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.

耶和華說：到那日我必拯救你，你必不致交在你所怕的人手中。

yē hé huá shuō ： dào nà rì wǒ bì zhěng jiù nǐ ， nǐ bì bú zhì jiāo zài nǐ suǒ pà de rén shǒu zhōng 。

But I will deliver you in that day,” says the LORD; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

我定要搭救你，你不致倒在刀下，卻要以自己的命為掠物，因你倚靠我。這是耶和華說的。」

wǒ dìng yào dā jiù nǐ ， nǐ bú zhì dǎo zài dāo xià ， què yào yǐ zì jǐ de mìng wèi lüè wù ， yīn nǐ yǐ kào wǒ 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。」

For I will surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says the LORD.’”
