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 犹大王西底家第十年，就是尼布甲尼撒十八年，耶和华的话临到耶利米。

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围困耶路撒冷，先知耶利米囚在护卫兵的院内，在犹大王的宫中；

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 因为犹大王西底家已将他囚禁，说：「你为什么预言说，耶和华如此说：『我必将这城交在巴比伦王的手中，他必攻取这城。

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 犹大王西底家必不能逃脱迦勒底人的手，定要交在巴比伦王的手中，要口对口彼此说话，眼对眼彼此相看。

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 巴比伦王必将西底家带到巴比伦；西底家必住在那里，直到我眷顾他的时候。你们虽与迦勒底人争战，却不顺利。这是耶和华说的。』」

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

6 耶利米说：「耶和华的话临到我说：

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 『你叔叔沙龙的儿子哈拿篾必来见你，说：我在亚拿突的那块地，求你买来；因你买这地是合乎赎回之理。』」

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 我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾果然照耶和华的话来到护卫兵的院内，对我说：「我在便雅悯境内、亚拿突的那块地，求你买来；因你买来是合乎承受之理，是你当赎的。你为自己买来吧！」我—耶利米就知道这是耶和华的话。

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

9 我便向我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾买了亚拿突的那块地，平了十七舍客勒银子给他。

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

10 我在契上画押，将契封缄，又请见证人来，并用天平将银子平给他。

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

11 我便将照例按规所立的买契，就是封缄的那一张和敞着的那一张，

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 当着我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾和画押作见证的人，并坐在护卫兵院内的一切犹大人眼前，交给玛西雅的孙子尼利亚的儿子巴录。

13 In their sight I instructed Baruch,

13 当着他们众人眼前，我嘱咐巴录说：

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 「万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：要将这封缄的和敞着的两张契放在瓦器里，可以存留多日。

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 因为万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：将来在这地必有人再买房屋、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 我将买契交给尼利亚的儿子巴录以后，便祷告耶和华说：

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，你曾用大能和伸出来的膀臂创造天地，在你没有难成的事。

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 你施慈爱与千万人，又将父亲的罪孽报应在他后世子孙的怀中，是至大全能的 神，万军之耶和华是你的名。

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 谋事有大略，行事有大能，注目观看世人一切的举动，为要照各人所行的和他做事的结果报应他。

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 在埃及地显神迹奇事，直到今日在以色列和别人中间也是如此，使自己得了名声，正如今日一样。

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 用神迹奇事和大能的手，并伸出来的膀臂与大可畏的事，领你的百姓以色列出了埃及。

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

22 将这地赐给他们，就是你向他们列祖起誓应许赐给他们流奶与蜜之地。

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 他们进入这地得了为业，却不听从你的话，也不遵行你的律法；你一切所吩咐他们行的，他们一无所行，因此你使这一切的灾祸临到他们。

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 看哪，敌人已经来到，筑垒要攻取这城；城也因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫交在攻城的迦勒底人手中。你所说的话都成就了，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，你对我说：要用银子为自己买那块地，又请见证人。其实这城已交在迦勒底人的手中了。」

26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

26 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

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

27 「我是耶和华，是凡有血气者的 神，岂有我难成的事吗？

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 耶和华如此说：我必将这城交付迦勒底人的手和巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手，他必攻取这城。

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 攻城的迦勒底人必来放火焚烧这城和其中的房屋。在这房屋上，人曾向巴力烧香，向别神浇奠，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从幼年以来，专行我眼中看为恶的事；以色列人尽以手所做的惹我发怒。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 这城自从建造的那日直到今日，常惹我的怒气和忿怒，使我将这城从我面前除掉；

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 是因以色列人和犹大人一切的邪恶，就是他们和他们的君王、首领、祭司、先知，并犹大的众人，以及耶路撒冷的居民所行的，惹我发怒。

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 他们以背向我，不以面向我；我虽从早起来教训他们，他们却不听从，不受教训，

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

34 竟把可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中，污秽了这殿。

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 他们在欣嫩子谷建筑巴力的邱坛，好使自己的儿女经火归摩洛；他们行这可憎的事，使犹大陷在罪里，这并不是我所吩咐的，也不是我心所起的意。」

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 现在论到这城，就是你们所说、已经因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫交在巴比伦王手中的，耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：

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 「我在怒气、忿怒，和大恼恨中，将以色列人赶到各国。日后我必从那里将他们招聚出来，领他们回到此地，使他们安然居住。

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

38 他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的 神。

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 我要使他们彼此同心同道，好叫他们永远敬畏我，使他们和他们后世的子孙得福乐，

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 又要与他们立永远的约，必随着他们施恩，并不离开他们，且使他们有敬畏我的心，不离开我。

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 我必欢喜施恩与他们，要尽心尽意、诚诚实实将他们栽于此地。

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 「因为耶和华如此说：我怎样使这一切大祸临到这百姓，我也要照样使我所应许他们的一切福乐都临到他们。

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，这地是荒凉、无人民、无牲畜，是交付迦勒底人手之地。日后在这境内，必有人置买田地。

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 在便雅悯地、耶路撒冷四围的各处、犹大的城邑、山地的城邑、高原的城邑，并南地的城邑，人必用银子买田地，在契上画押，将契封缄，请出见证人，因为我必使被掳的人归回。这是耶和华说的。」
