耶利米書第38章 |
|
1 馬担子示法提亞、巴述子其大利、示利米子猶甲、馬勒家子巴述、聞耶利米言、傳述於衆、 |
|
2 其言曰、仍居邑中者、必戮以鋒刃、因以饑饉、重以疲癘、惟出邑歸誠迦勒底人者、生命可保。 |
|
3 耶和華又曰、此邑必付於巴比倫王手、使彼帥師取之。 |
|
4 諸牧伯奏王曰、斯人所言、邑中武士百姓、無不喪膽、以若所云、於民不利、可殺之。 |
|
5 西底家王曰、權操諸爾、王莫能禦焉。 |
|
6 衆乃執耶利米、解於外獄、哈米勒子馬勒家室有井、以繩縋之下、井無水、惟有淤泥、耶利米遂淖於泥中。 |
|
7 王宮內豎、古實人以伯米勒、聞人縋耶利米下井、知王坐於便雅憫門、 |
|
8 則出宮覲王曰、 |
|
9 我王歟、我主歟、有人作不端、下先知耶利米於眢井、在邑內食且無餅、况在井中、有不饑而死乎。 |
|
10 王諭古實人以伯米勒曰、當召三十人、乘先知耶利米未死、出之於井。 |
|
11 以伯米勒率衆、入王宮、於府庫中、取布之舊且敝者、繫之以繩、縋於井中、至耶利米所、 |
|
12 告之曰、以舊且敝之布、裹此二繩、置於腋下。耶利米如言而行。 |
|
13 於是人以繩曳耶利米、出之於井、使居外獄。 |
|
14 西底家王遣人、召先知耶利米至耶和華殿第三院、詰之曰、我有一言問爾、必毋隱。 |
|
15 耶利米奏西底家王曰、我告爾、爾必殺予、勸爾、爾必不聽。 |
|
16 西底家王私誓、謂耶利米曰、我指賜我生命之耶和華而誓、必不殺爾、不付爾於敵手。 |
|
17 耶利米乃奏西底家曰、萬有之主、以色列族之上帝耶和華云、如爾出邑、歸誠巴比倫王牧伯、則爾一家生命可保、斯邑不遭焚燬。 |
|
18 不然迦勒底人必焚此城、爾亦不能脫於其手。 |
|
19 西底家王告耶利米曰、猶大人已先歸誠於迦勒底人、我甚恐、若彼委我於猶大人、使凌辱予、則奈何。 |
|
20 耶利米曰、迦勒底人必不委爾於彼、惟我所傳耶和華之命、爾其聽從、則可保生命、而納福祉。 |
|
21 如爾不出、則耶和華所示之言、更爲王誦之。 |
|
22 猶大王宮所遺之女、必曳之出、至巴比倫王牧伯所、此女必訕爾云、爾之良朋誘爾、爾受其欺、見爾陷阱、不顧而逃。 |
|
23 人將曳爾妻子、見迦勒底人、爾亦不能脫其手、必爲巴比倫王所獲、斯邑必焚以火、皆爾自取。 |
|
24 西底家王謂耶利米曰、毋以斯言示人、則可不死、 |
|
25 浸假牧伯聞王與爾言、來詰爾曰、爾所奏於王、王所語爾者、其言若何、明以告我、毋隱、則我不殺爾。 |
|
26 爾可答之曰、我求王勿使我復入約拿單之室、恐死於彼。 |
|
27 諸牧伯至耶利米所、問之。耶利米遵王所命而答、事竟不洩。 |
|
28 厥後耶路撒冷被陷之日、時耶利米猶在外獄。 |
JeremiahChapter 38 |
|
1 THEN Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying, |
|
2 Thus says the LORD: He who remains in this city shall die by sword, by famine, and by pestilence; but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live: and shall save his life. |
|
3 Thus says the LORD, This city shall surely be delivered into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, which shall take it. |
|
4 Then the princes said to the king, Let this man be put to death; for it is he who is weakening the hands of the men of war who remain in this city and the hands of all the people in speaking such words to them; for this man is not seeking the welfare of this people, but the hurt. |
|
5 Then King Zedekiah said, Behold, he is in your hands; for the king cannot say anything to you. |
|
6 Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the well of Malchiah the son of the king, which was in the court of the prison; and they let down Jeremiah with ropes. And there was no water in the well, but only mire; so Jeremiah sank in the mire. |
|
7 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the well, the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin; |
|
8 So Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house and spoke to the king, saying, |
|
9 My Lord, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, for they have cast him into the well; and, behold, he will die of hunger, for there is no more bread in the city. |
|
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you, and go and draw up Jeremiah out of the well before he dies. |
|
11 So Ebed-melech the Ethiopian took the men with him from the king's house, and went into the treasury which is below the palace and took from there some worn out towels and rags, and lowered them down by a rope into the well to Jeremiah. |
|
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put these old towels and rags under your armpits under the rope. And Jeremiah did so. |
|
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with the rope, and took him up out of the well; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. |
|
14 Then King Zedekiah sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD; and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you a question, hide not a word from me. |
|
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I tell you, behold, you will surely put me to death; and if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me. |
|
16 So King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah in the palace, saying, As the LORD lives, who created soul in us, I will not put you to death, neither will I deliver you into the hand of these men who seek your life. |
|
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: If you will go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then you will spare your life, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you and your household shall live; |
|
18 But if you do not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then this city shall be delivered into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape from their hands. |
|
19 And King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, I am afraid, because of the Jews, to go forth to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hands and they mock me. |
|
20 But Jeremiah said, They will not deliver you. Obey the word of the LORD, which I speak to you; so it shall be well with you, and your life shall be saved. |
|
21 But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD has shown me: |
|
22 Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Your friends have deceived you and have prevailed against you; yea, they have caused your feet to sink in the mire, and they have turned away from you. |
|
23 So they shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you yourself shall not escape from their hands, but shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon; and this city shall be burned with fire. |
|
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words and you shall not die. |
|
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, Declare to us now what you said to the king and what the king said to you, hide nothing from us and we will not put you to death; |
|
26 Then you shall say to them, I was beseeching the king that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house to die there. |
|
27 Then came all the princes to Jeremiah and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded him. So they ceased conversing with him because the matter was not made known. |
|
28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison house until the day that Jerusalem was taken. |

8 So Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house and spoke to the king, saying, |
|
9 我王歟、我主歟、有人作不端、下先知耶利米於眢井、在邑內食且無餅、况在井中、有不饑而死乎。 |
9 My Lord, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, for they have cast him into the well; and, behold, he will die of hunger, for there is no more bread in the city. |

13 So they drew up Jeremiah with the rope, and took him up out of the well; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. |
|
14 西底家王遣人、召先知耶利米至耶和華殿第三院、詰之曰、我有一言問爾、必毋隱。 |
14 Then King Zedekiah sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD; and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you a question, hide not a word from me. |

15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I tell you, behold, you will surely put me to death; and if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me. |
|
16 西底家王私誓、謂耶利米曰、我指賜我生命之耶和華而誓、必不殺爾、不付爾於敵手。 |
16 So King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah in the palace, saying, As the LORD lives, who created soul in us, I will not put you to death, neither will I deliver you into the hand of these men who seek your life. |
|
17 耶利米乃奏西底家曰、萬有之主、以色列族之上帝耶和華云、如爾出邑、歸誠巴比倫王牧伯、則爾一家生命可保、斯邑不遭焚燬。 |
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: If you will go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then you will spare your life, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you and your household shall live; |
|
18 不然迦勒底人必焚此城、爾亦不能脫於其手。 |
18 But if you do not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then this city shall be delivered into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape from their hands. |
|
19 西底家王告耶利米曰、猶大人已先歸誠於迦勒底人、我甚恐、若彼委我於猶大人、使凌辱予、則奈何。 |
19 And King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, I am afraid, because of the Jews, to go forth to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hands and they mock me. |
|
20 耶利米曰、迦勒底人必不委爾於彼、惟我所傳耶和華之命、爾其聽從、則可保生命、而納福祉。 |
20 But Jeremiah said, They will not deliver you. Obey the word of the LORD, which I speak to you; so it shall be well with you, and your life shall be saved. |
|
21 如爾不出、則耶和華所示之言、更爲王誦之。 |
21 But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD has shown me: |
|
22 猶大王宮所遺之女、必曳之出、至巴比倫王牧伯所、此女必訕爾云、爾之良朋誘爾、爾受其欺、見爾陷阱、不顧而逃。 |
22 Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Your friends have deceived you and have prevailed against you; yea, they have caused your feet to sink in the mire, and they have turned away from you. |
|
23 人將曳爾妻子、見迦勒底人、爾亦不能脫其手、必爲巴比倫王所獲、斯邑必焚以火、皆爾自取。 |
23 So they shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you yourself shall not escape from their hands, but shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon; and this city shall be burned with fire. |
|
24 西底家王謂耶利米曰、毋以斯言示人、則可不死、 |
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words and you shall not die. |
|
25 浸假牧伯聞王與爾言、來詰爾曰、爾所奏於王、王所語爾者、其言若何、明以告我、毋隱、則我不殺爾。 |
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, Declare to us now what you said to the king and what the king said to you, hide nothing from us and we will not put you to death; |
|
26 爾可答之曰、我求王勿使我復入約拿單之室、恐死於彼。 |
26 Then you shall say to them, I was beseeching the king that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house to die there. |
|
27 諸牧伯至耶利米所、問之。耶利米遵王所命而答、事竟不洩。 |
27 Then came all the princes to Jeremiah and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded him. So they ceased conversing with him because the matter was not made known. |
|
28 厥後耶路撒冷被陷之日、時耶利米猶在外獄。 |
