耶利米书 22
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
警告犹大的王
22 耶和华对我说:“你下到犹大王的宫殿,这样宣告, 2 ‘坐在大卫宝座上的犹大王啊,你和你的臣仆以及进出这城门的百姓都要听耶和华的话。 3 耶和华说,你们为人要公义正直,要从欺压者手中解救受剥削的人。不要欺凌、虐待异乡人和孤儿寡妇,不可在这地方滥杀无辜。 4 如果你们遵守我的命令,大卫的子孙必继续做王,并乘车、骑马率领臣民进出王宫。 5 但如果你们不遵守我的命令,我凭自己起誓,这王宫必沦为废墟。这是耶和华说的。’”
6 论到犹大王的宫殿,耶和华说:
“虽然它在我眼中美如基列,
又像黎巴嫩的山峰,
但我必使它变成不毛之地,
变成杳无人烟的城邑。
7 我要派人拿着兵器来摧毁它,
他们要砍下它最好的香柏木,
扔进火里。
8 “各国的人经过这城时都会彼此议论说,‘为什么耶和华这样对待这座大城?’ 9 有人会回答,‘因为城里的人背弃了他们的上帝耶和华的约,供奉、祭拜其他神明。’”
10 你们不要为死去的王哀哭,
要为被掳走的王哀哭,
因为他必一去不返,
再也看不到自己的家园。
11 论到接替父亲约西亚做犹大王、后来被掳走的沙龙[a],耶和华说:“他必一去不返, 12 客死异乡,永别故土。”
对约雅敬的审判
13 耶和华说:
“约西亚的儿子犹大王约雅敬啊,你有祸了!
你以不公不义的手段建造宫廷殿宇,
不给工人发工钱。
14 你说要为自己建造宏伟的宫殿、宽敞的房间。
你安上窗户,
镶上香柏木,
涂上红漆。
15 难道你大肆使用香柏木就能显出你做王的气派吗?
你父亲也吃也喝,
但他秉公行义,
所以他凡事顺利;
16 他为困苦和贫穷的人申冤,
所以他凡事顺利。
这才是真正认识我。
这是耶和华说的。
17 可是,你一心贪图不义之财,
滥杀无辜,横征暴敛。”
18 因此,论到犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬,耶和华说:
“没有人会为他哀悼说,
‘唉,我的弟兄啊!
唉,我的姊妹啊!’
没有人会为他哀悼说,
‘唉,主人啊!
唉,他的尊荣!’
19 你必像死驴一样被拖到耶路撒冷的城门外,暴尸荒野。”
对耶路撒冷的警告
20 “耶路撒冷人啊,
你们要上黎巴嫩大声哭喊,
在巴珊哀号,
在亚巴琳痛哭,
因为你们的盟友被消灭了。
21 在你们兴盛的时候,
我曾警告过你们,
你们却不听。
你们从小就叛逆,
不听我的话。
22 你们的首领都要被风卷去,
你们的盟友都要被掳走,
你们必因自己的恶行而蒙羞受辱。
23 住在黎巴嫩、安居在香柏木宫殿中的人啊,
当妇人分娩般的痛苦临到你们的时候,
你们将怎样呻吟呢!”
对哥尼雅的审判
24 耶和华说:“犹大王约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅[b]啊,我凭我的永恒起誓,即使你是我右手上盖章的戒指,我也要把你摘下来, 25 交给那些想杀你的人,交给你所惧怕的人,就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他的迦勒底军队。 26 我要把你和你母亲赶到异乡,那里不是你们的出生之地,却是葬身之处。 27 你们渴望回到故乡,却不能如愿以偿。”
28 难道哥尼雅是个被人鄙视、无人理睬的破瓶子吗?
为什么他和他的子孙被赶到陌生之地?
29 大地啊,大地啊,大地啊,
要听耶和华的话!
30 耶和华说:
“你要把这人作为无儿无女、
一生失败的人记录下来,
因为他的后裔中无一人能成功地继承大卫的宝座,
统治犹大。”
耶利米書 22
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
警告猶大的王
22 耶和華對我說:「你下到猶大王的宮殿,這樣宣告, 2 『坐在大衛寶座上的猶大王啊,你和你的臣僕以及進出這城門的百姓都要聽耶和華的話。 3 耶和華說,你們為人要公義正直,要從欺壓者手中解救受剝削的人。不要欺凌、虐待異鄉人和孤兒寡婦,不可在這地方濫殺無辜。 4 如果你們遵守我的命令,大衛的子孫必繼續做王,並乘車、騎馬率領臣民進出王宮。 5 但如果你們不遵守我的命令,我憑自己起誓,這王宮必淪為廢墟。這是耶和華說的。』」
6 論到猶大王的宮殿,耶和華說:
「雖然它在我眼中美如基列,
又像黎巴嫩的山峰,
但我必使它變成不毛之地,
變成杳無人煙的城邑。
7 我要派人拿著兵器來摧毀它,
他們要砍下它最好的香柏木,
扔進火裡。
8 「各國的人經過這城時都會彼此議論說,『為什麼耶和華這樣對待這座大城?』 9 有人會回答,『因為城裡的人背棄了他們的上帝耶和華的約,供奉、祭拜其他神明。』」
10 你們不要為死去的王哀哭,
要為被擄走的王哀哭,
因為他必一去不返,
再也看不到自己的家園。
11 論到接替父親約西亞做猶大王、後來被擄走的沙龍[a],耶和華說:「他必一去不返, 12 客死異鄉,永別故土。」
對約雅敬的審判
13 耶和華說:
「約西亞的兒子猶大王約雅敬啊,你有禍了!
你以不公不義的手段建造宮廷殿宇,
不給工人發工錢。
14 你說要為自己建造宏偉的宮殿、寬敞的房間。
你安上窗戶,
鑲上香柏木,
塗上紅漆。
15 難道你大肆使用香柏木就能顯出你做王的氣派嗎?
你父親也吃也喝,
但他秉公行義,
所以他凡事順利;
16 他為困苦和貧窮的人伸冤,
所以他凡事順利。
這才是真正認識我。
這是耶和華說的。
17 可是,你一心貪圖不義之財,
濫殺無辜,橫徵暴斂。」
18 因此,論到猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬,耶和華說:
「沒有人會為他哀悼說,
『唉,我的弟兄啊!
唉,我的姊妹啊!』
沒有人會為他哀悼說,
『唉,主人啊!
唉,他的尊榮!』
19 你必像死驢一樣被拖到耶路撒冷的城門外,曝屍荒野。」
對耶路撒冷的警告
20 「耶路撒冷人啊,
你們要上黎巴嫩大聲哭喊,
在巴珊哀號,
在亞巴琳痛哭,
因為你們的盟友被消滅了。
21 在你們興盛的時候,
我曾警告過你們,
你們卻不聽。
你們從小就叛逆,
不聽我的話。
22 你們的首領都要被風捲去,
你們的盟友都要被擄走,
你們必因自己的惡行而蒙羞受辱。
23 住在黎巴嫩、安居在香柏木宮殿中的人啊,
當婦人分娩般的痛苦臨到你們的時候,
你們將怎樣呻吟呢!」
對哥尼雅的審判
24 耶和華說:「猶大王約雅敬的兒子哥尼雅[b]啊,我憑我的永恆起誓,即使你是我右手上蓋章的戒指,我也要把你摘下來, 25 交給那些想殺你的人,交給你所懼怕的人,就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒和他的迦勒底軍隊。 26 我要把你和你母親趕到異鄉,那裡不是你們的出生之地,卻是葬身之處。 27 你們渴望回到故鄉,卻不能如願以償。」
28 難道哥尼雅是個被人鄙視、無人理睬的破瓶子嗎?
為什麼他和他的子孫被趕到陌生之地?
29 大地啊,大地啊,大地啊,
要聽耶和華的話!
30 耶和華說:
「你要把這人作為無兒無女、
一生失敗的人記錄下來,
因為他的後裔中無一人能成功地繼承大衛的寶座,
統治猶大。」
Jeremiah 22
King James Version
22 Thus saith the Lord; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
2 And say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
3 Thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
6 For thus saith the Lord unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city?
9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11 For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24 As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
