Jeremiah 32

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

1 犹大王西底迦第十年，就是尼布甲尼撒第十八年，耶和华的话传给了耶利米。

2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, which was in the palace of the king of Judah.

2 那时，巴比伦王的军队正围攻耶路撒冷。耶利米先知被囚禁在犹大王宫中护卫的院子里。

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying like this? You claim that the LORD says, ‘Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.

3 犹大王西底迦囚禁了他，责问他为什么预言说：“耶和华说，‘看啊，我要把这座城交在巴比伦王手中，他必攻占这座城。

4 Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.

4 犹大王西底迦逃不出迦勒底人的手心，必落入巴比伦王手中，与他面对面、眼对眼地说话。

5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I attend to him, declares the LORD. If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.’”

5 他必把西底迦带到巴比伦，西底迦要住在那里，直到我惩罚他。你们和迦勒底人作战注定要失败。这是耶和华说的。’”

6 Jeremiah replied, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

6 耶利米说：“耶和华对我说，

7 Behold! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’

7 ‘看啊，你叔父沙龙的儿子哈拿篾会来找你，让你买下他在亚拿突的那块田地，说你是他的近亲，理当买下它。’”

8 Then, as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

8 果然如耶和华所言，我堂兄弟哈拿篾到护卫的院子里对我说：“我在便雅悯境内的亚拿突有一块田，求你买下它，因为你有权承接和买赎。求你买下吧！”我知道这是耶和华的旨意。

9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver.

9–10 于是，我从堂兄弟哈拿篾手里买了亚拿突的那块田。我签订了契约，封好，请来证人并秤了四两银子给他。

10 I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.

11 Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy—

11 我拿着列明条款、一份加了封印和一份没有加封印的地契，

12 and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.

12 当着堂兄弟哈拿篾、在地契上签名的证人和护卫院子里所有犹大人的面，把地契交给玛西雅的孙子、尼利亚的儿子巴录。

13 In their sight I instructed Baruch,

13 我当众对巴录说：

14 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.

14 “以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华吩咐你把封印的和没有封印的两份地契放在一个瓦瓶里，长期保存。

15 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”

15 因为以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说，将来必有人在这里重新买房屋、田地和葡萄园。”

16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:

16 我把地契交给尼利亚的儿子巴录之后，便向耶和华祷告说：

17 “Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!

17 “主耶和华啊，看啊，你伸出臂膀以大能创造天地，你无所不能。

18 You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,

18 你恩待千万人，也向后世的子孙追讨他们祖先所犯的罪。伟大全能的上帝啊！你名叫万军之耶和华。

19 the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.

19 你有伟大的计划和大能的作为，你鉴察世人的一举一动，按照各人的行为施行赏罚。

20 You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and You do so to this very day, both in Israel and among all mankind. And You have made a name for Yourself, as is the case to this day.

20 你曾在埃及行神迹奇事，现今仍在以色列和世人中间行神迹奇事，使自己威名远扬，正如今日。

21 You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.

21 你伸出臂膀用大能的手行神迹奇事及可畏的事，领你的以色列子民出了埃及。

22 You gave them this land that You had sworn to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

22 你信守对他们祖先的应许，赐给他们这奶蜜之乡。

23 They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.

23 他们进入并得到这块土地之后，却不听你的话，也不遵行你的律法，对你的吩咐置若罔闻，因此你使他们大祸临头。

24 See how the siege ramps are mounted against the city to capture it. And by sword and famine and plague, the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened, as You now see!

24 看啊，敌人已经修筑高台要攻打这城，这城要因刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫而落入迦勒底人手中。你所说的都应验了，你也看见了。

25 Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”

25 主耶和华啊！虽然这城快要落入迦勒底人手中了，可是你还要我在证人面前买下这块地。”

26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

26 耶和华对耶利米说：

27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?

27 “看啊，我是耶和华，是所有世人的上帝，难道有我做不到的事吗？

28 Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it.

28 看啊，我要把这城交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他率领的迦勒底人手中，让他们攻取这城。这是耶和华说的。

29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.

29 攻城的迦勒底人必放火焚城，把城中的房屋付之一炬，城中的居民曾在房顶上向巴力烧香、向其他神明奠酒，惹我发怒。

30 For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.

30 以色列人和犹大人自幼就行我视为恶的事，以色列人的所作所为惹我发怒。这是耶和华说的。

31 For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence

31 这城自从建立以来直到如今一直惹我发怒，以致我决意从眼前毁灭它。

32 because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.

32 以色列和犹大的君王和官长、祭司和先知、犹大百姓和耶路撒冷居民的恶行让我愤怒。

33 They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.

33 他们不是面向我而是背对我，我不厌其烦地教导他们，他们却不肯听，不受教。

34 They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.

34 他们把可憎的神像放在我的殿中，玷污了我的殿；

35 They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Ben-hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.

35 他们在欣嫩子谷为巴力建丘坛，用自己的儿女作祭物献给摩洛，使犹大陷入罪中。我从未吩咐他们做如此可憎之事，连想都没想过。

36 Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:

36 “你们说这座城要因刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫而落入巴比伦王手中，但以色列的上帝耶和华说，

37 I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.

37 ‘看啊，我曾在怒气、义愤和烈怒中把他们驱散到各地，我也必招聚他们，领他们回到故土，使他们安居乐业。

38 They will be My people, and I will be their God.

38 他们要做我的子民，我要做他们的上帝。

39 I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.

39 我要使他们同心合意，永远敬畏我，使他们和子孙得到福乐。

40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.

40 我要与他们立永远的约，永远恩待他们，使他们对我心存敬畏，不再背弃我。

41 Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.

41 我必以恩待他们为乐，全心全意在这地方培育他们。’

42 For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.

42 “耶和华说，‘我曾降下这一切灾祸给他们，我也要把我应许的福乐赐给他们。

43 And fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’

43 你们说这地方落在了迦勒底人手中，变得一片荒凉，人畜绝迹。但将来这地方必再有人置买田产。

44 Fields will be purchased with silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah—the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will restore them from captivity, declares the LORD.”

44 在便雅悯境内，耶路撒冷周围和犹大的城邑，以及山区、丘陵、南地的城邑中，必有人用银子置买田地，签订地契，盖封印，请人作证，因为我必使被掳的人回到故土。这是耶和华说的。’”
