A Prophecy against Zedekiah
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army, with all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his control and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its cities, saying, 2“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and say to him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I am handing this city over to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire. 3‘And as for you, you will not escape from his hand, for you will assuredly be caught and handed over to him; and you will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, and he will speak with you face to face, and you will go to Babylon.’”’ 4“Yet hear the word of the LORD, Zedekiah king of Judah! This is what the LORD says concerning you: ‘You will not die by the sword. 5‘You will die in peace; and as spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn spices for you; and they will mourn for you, crying, “Oh, my lord!”’ For I have spoken the word,” declares the LORD.
1巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領他的全軍和地上屬他的各國各邦,攻打耶路撒冷和屬耶路撒冷所有的城邑。那時,耶和華的話臨到耶利米說:2「耶和華─以色列的神說,你去告訴猶大王西底家,耶和華如此說:我要將這城交付巴比倫王的手,他必用火焚燒。3你必不能逃脫他的手,定被拿住,交在他的手中。你的眼要見巴比倫王的眼,他要口對口和你說話,你也必到巴比倫去。4猶大王西底家啊,你還要聽耶和華的話。耶和華論到你如此說:你必不被刀劍殺死,5你必平安而死,人必為你焚燒物件,好像為你列祖,就是在你以前的先王焚燒一般。人必為你舉哀說:『哀哉!我主啊。』耶和華說:這話是我說的。」
6Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem 7when the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and all the remaining cities of Judah, that is, Lachish and Azekah, for they alone remained as fortified cities among the cities of Judah.
6於是,先知耶利米在耶路撒冷將這一切話告訴猶大王西底家。7那時,巴比倫王的軍隊正攻打耶路撒冷,又攻打猶大所剩下的城邑,就是拉吉和亞西加。原來猶大的堅固城只剩下這兩座。
8The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem, to proclaim release to them: 9that each person was to set his male servant free and each his female servant, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, so that no one would keep them, his Jewish brother or sister, in bondage. 10And all the officials and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant that each person was to set his male servant free and each his female servant, so that no one would keep them in bondage any longer; they obeyed, and set them free. 11But afterward they turned around and took back the male servants and the female servants whom they had set free, and brought them into subjection as male servants and as female servants.
8–9西底家王與耶路撒冷的眾民立約,要向他們宣告自由,叫各人任他希伯來的僕人和婢女自由出去,誰也不可使他的一個猶大弟兄作奴僕。(此後,有耶和華的話臨到耶利米。)10所有立約的首領和眾民就任他的僕人婢女自由出去,誰也不再叫他們作奴僕。大家都順從,將他們釋放了;11後來卻又反悔,叫所任去自由的僕人婢女回來,勉強他們仍為僕婢。
12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 13“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘I made a covenant with your forefathers on the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, saying, 14“At the end of seven years each of you shall set free his Hebrew brother who has been sold to you and has served you for six years, and you shall send him out free from you.” But your forefathers did not obey Me nor incline their ear to Me. 15‘Although recently you had turned and done what is right in My sight, each one proclaiming release to his neighbor, and you had made a covenant before Me in the house which is called by My name. 16‘Yet you turned and profaned My name, and each person took back his male servant and each his female servant whom you had set free according to their desire, and you brought them into subjection to be your male and female servants.’
12因此耶和華的話臨到耶利米說:13「耶和華─以色列的神如此說:我將你們的列祖從埃及地為奴之家領出來的時候,與他們立約說:14『你的一個希伯來弟兄若賣給你,服事你六年,到第七年你們各人就要任他自由出去。』只是你們列祖不聽從我,也不側耳而聽。15如今你們回轉,行我眼中看為正的事,各人向鄰舍宣告自由,並且在稱為我名下的殿中、在我面前立約。16你們卻又反悔,褻瀆我的名,各人叫所任去隨意自由的僕人婢女回來,勉強他們仍為僕婢。
17“Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming release, each one to his brother and each to his neighbor. Behold, I am proclaiming a release to you,’ declares the LORD, ‘to the sword, to the plague, and to the famine; and I will make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth. 18‘I will give the people who have violated My covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they made before Me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts— 19the officials of Judah and the officials of Jerusalem, the high officials and the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf— 20I will hand them over to their enemies and to those who seek their lives. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth. 21‘Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials I will also hand over to their enemies and to those who seek their lives, and to the army of the king of Babylon which has withdrawn from you. 22‘Behold, I am going to give a command,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will bring them back to this city, and they will fight against it and take it and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.’”
17所以耶和華如此說:你們沒有聽從我,各人向弟兄鄰舍宣告自由。看哪!我向你們宣告一樣自由,就是使你們自由於刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫之下,並且使你們在天下萬國中拋來拋去。這是耶和華說的。18–19猶大的首領、耶路撒冷的首領、太監、祭司,和國中的眾民曾將牛犢劈開,分成兩半,從其中經過,在我面前立約。後來又違背我的約,不遵行這約上的話。20我必將他們交在仇敵和尋索其命的人手中;他們的屍首必給空中的飛鳥和地上的野獸作食物。21並且我必將猶大王西底家和他的首領交在他們仇敵和尋索其命的人,與那暫離你們而去巴比倫王軍隊的手中。22耶和華說:我必吩咐他們回到這城,攻打這城,將城攻取,用火焚燒。我也要使猶大的城邑變為荒場,無人居住。」
