耶利米书 26

¹犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬登基的时候，有这话从耶和华临到耶利米说：At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:

²“耶和华如此说：你站在耶和华殿的院内，对犹大众城邑的人，就是到耶和华殿来礼拜的，说我所吩咐你的一切话，一字不可删减。“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.

³或者他们肯听从，各人回头离开恶道，使我后悔不将我因他们所行的恶，想要施行的灾祸降与他们。Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the disaster I am planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.

⁴你要对他们说，耶和华如此说：‘你们若不听从我，不遵行我设立在你们面前的律法，And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I have set before you,

⁵不听我从早起来差遣到你们那里去我仆人众先知的话（你们还是没有听从），and if you do not listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen,

⁶我就必使这殿如示罗，使这城为地上万国所咒诅的。’”then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.’”

⁷耶利米在耶和华殿中说的这些话，祭司、先知与众民都听见了。Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD,

⁸耶利米说完了耶和华所吩咐他对众人说的一切话，祭司、先知与众民都来抓住他，说：“你必要死！and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die!

⁹你为何托耶和华的名预言，说这殿必如示罗，这城必变为荒场无人居住呢？”于是众民都在耶和华的殿中聚集到耶利米那里。How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

¹⁰犹大的首领听见这事，就从王宫上到耶和华的殿，坐在耶和华殿的新门口。When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king’s palace to the house of the LORD and sat there at the entrance of the New Gate.

¹¹祭司、先知对首领和众民说：“这人是该死的；因为他说预言攻击这城，正如你们亲耳所听见的。”Then the priests and prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears!”

¹²耶利米就对众首领和众民说：“耶和华差遣我预言，攻击这殿和这城，说你们所听见的这一切话。But Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

¹³现在要改正你们的行动作为，听从耶和华—你们　神的话，他就必后悔，不将所说的灾祸降与你们。So now, correct your ways and deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, so that He might relent of the disaster He has pronounced against you.

¹⁴至于我，我在你们手中，你们眼看何为善，何为正，就那样待我吧！As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right.

¹⁵但你们要确实地知道，若把我治死，就使无辜人的血归到你们和这城，并其中的居民了；因为耶和华实在差遣我到你们这里来，将这一切话传与你们耳中。”But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its residents; for truly the LORD has sent me to speak all these words in your hearing.”

¹⁶首领和众民就对祭司、先知说：“这人是不该死的，因为他是奉耶和华—我们　神的名向我们说话。”Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God!”

¹⁷国中的长老就有几个人起来，对聚会的众民说：Some of the elders of the land stood up and said to the whole assembly of the people,

¹⁸“当犹大王希西家的日子，有摩利沙人弥迦对犹大众人预言说：万军之耶和华如此说：锡安必被耕种像一块田；耶路撒冷必变为乱堆；这殿的山必像丛林的高处。“Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told all the people of Judah that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.’

¹⁹犹大王希西家和犹大众人岂是把他治死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华、恳求他的恩吗？耶和华就后悔，不把自己所说的灾祸降与他们。若治死这人，我们就作了大恶，自害己命。”Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”

²⁰（又有一个人奉耶和华的名说预言，是基列·耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚，他照耶利米的一切话说预言，攻击这城和这地。Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land the same things that Jeremiah did.

²¹约雅敬王和他众勇士、众首领听见了乌利亚的话，王就想要把他治死。乌利亚听见就惧怕，逃往埃及去了。King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.

²²约雅敬王便打发亚革波的儿子以利拿单，带领几个人往埃及去。Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor along with some other men.

²³他们就从埃及将乌利亚带出来，送到约雅敬王那里；王用刀杀了他，把他的尸首抛在平民的坟地中。）They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him put to the sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.

²⁴然而，沙番的儿子亚希甘保护耶利米，不交在百姓的手中治死他。Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.
