耶32:1 犹大王西底家第十年，就是尼布甲尼撒第十八年，从耶和华那里有话临到耶利米。
耶32:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
耶32:2 那时，巴比伦王的军队正在围困耶路撒冷，耶利米先知被囚禁在犹大王宫中卫兵的院子里。
耶32:2 Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was round Jerusalem, shutting it in: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, in the house of the king of Judah.
耶32:3 因为犹大王西底家把他囚禁起来，说：“你为什么预言：‘耶和华这样说：看哪！我必把这城交在巴比伦王的手中，他必攻取这城；
耶32:3 For Zedekiah, king of Judah, had had him shut up, saying, Why have you, as a prophet, been saying, The Lord has said, See, I will give this town into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
耶32:4 犹大王西底家必不能逃脱迦勒底人的手，他必交在巴比伦王的手中；他们必面对面彼此说话，眼对眼互相对看。
耶32:4 And Zedekiah, king of Judah, will not get away from the hands of the Chaldaeans, but will certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will have talk with him, mouth to mouth, and see him, eye to eye.
耶32:5 巴比伦王必把西底家带到巴比伦去；西底家必留在那里，直到我眷顾他的时候（这是耶和华的宣告）。即使你们和迦勒底人作战，你们必不能战胜’？”
耶32:5 And he will take Zedekiah away to Babylon, where he will be till I have pity on him, says the Lord: though you are fighting with the Chaldaeans, things will not go well for you?
耶32:6 耶利米说：“耶和华的话临到我，说：
耶32:6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
耶32:7 ‘看哪！你叔叔沙龙的儿子哈拿篾必来见你，说：请你买下我在亚拿突的那块田地，因为你有近亲的权利和义务去买那田地。’
耶32:7 See, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your father's brother, will come to you and say, Give the price and get for yourself my property in Anathoth: for you have the right of the nearest relation.
耶32:8 我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾果然照着耶和华的话，到卫兵的院子里来见我，对我说：‘请你买下我在便雅悯境内亚拿突的那块田地，因为你有那产业的继承权，以及近亲的权利和义务；请你把它买下吧。’于是我知道这是耶和华的话。
耶32:8 So Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me, as the Lord had said, to the place of the armed watchmen, and said to me, Give the price and get my property which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: for you have the nearest relation's right to the heritage; so get it for yourself. Then it was clear to me that this was the word of the Lord.
耶32:9 我就向我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾，买下了在亚拿突的那块田地，称了一百九十三克银子给他。
耶32:9 So I got for a price the property in Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and gave him the money, seventeen shekels of silver;
耶32:10 “我在契约上签了名，把契封好了，又请了证人作证，就用天平把银子称给他。
耶32:10 And I put it in writing, stamping it with my stamp, and I took witnesses and put the money into the scales.
耶32:11 然后我取了买卖契约，一份是封好的，一份是没有加封的，上面都有各种细则和条件。
耶32:11 So I took the paper witnessing the business, one copy rolled up and stamped, and one copy open:
耶32:12 当着我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾眼前，当着那些在买卖契约上签名作证的人眼前，以及当着所有坐在卫兵院子里的犹大人眼前，我把买卖契约交给了玛西雅的孙子、尼利亚的儿子巴录。
耶32:12 And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.
耶32:13 我当着这些人眼前吩咐巴录说：
耶32:13 And I gave orders to Baruch in front of them, saying,
耶32:14 ‘万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说：你要拿这两份买卖契约，就是那封好的和没有加封的，放在一个瓦器里，使它们可以长久保存。
耶32:14 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take these papers, the witness of this business, the one which is rolled up and stamped, and the one which is open; and put them in a vessel of earth so that they may be kept for a long time.
耶32:15 因为万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说：将来在这地必再有人买房屋、田地和葡萄园。’
耶32:15 For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, There will again be trading in houses and fields and vine-gardens in this land.
耶32:16 “我把买卖契约交给尼利亚的儿子巴录以后，就向耶和华祷告，说：
耶32:16 Now after I had given the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I made my prayer to the Lord, saying,
耶32:17 ‘主耶和华啊！你看，你曾用大能和伸出来的膀臂创造了天地；在你并没有难成的事。
耶32:17 Ah Lord God! see, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm, and there is nothing you are not able to do:
耶32:18 你向千万人施慈爱，又把父亲的罪孽都报应在他们的儿女身上。你是伟大、有能力的 神，万军之耶和华是你（“你”原文作“他”）的名。
耶32:18 You have mercy on thousands, and send punishment for the evil-doing of the fathers on their children after them: the great, the strong God, the Lord of armies is his name:
耶32:19 你的计划伟大，你的作为满有能力；你的眼睛睁开，察看世人一切所行的，要照着各人的行为，和各人所作的事应得的结果来报应各人。
耶32:19 Great in wisdom and strong in act: whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone the reward of his ways and the fruit of his doings:
耶32:20 你曾在埃及地行神迹奇事，你在以色列和全人类中间直到今日也是这样，使你自己得了名声，好像今日一样。
耶32:20 You have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day, in Israel and among other men; and have made a name for yourself as at this day;
耶32:21 你曾用神迹奇事、有力的手、伸出来的膀臂，和大而可畏的事，把你的子民以色列从埃及地领出来。
耶32:21 And have taken your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, causing great fear;
耶32:22 你把这地赐给他们，就是你向他们列祖起誓，要赐给他们的流奶与蜜之地。
耶32:22 And have given them this land, which you gave your word to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
耶32:23 他们进去，得到这地为业，却不听从你的话，也不遵行你的律法；你吩咐他们行的一切事，他们都没有行，因此你使这一切灾祸临到他们身上。
耶32:23 And they came in and took it for their heritage, but they did not give ear to your voice, and were not ruled by your law; they have done nothing of all you gave them orders to do: so you have made all this evil come on them:
耶32:24 看哪！敌人已经迫近，筑垒攻取这城。这城要因刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫的缘故，交在攻击他们的迦勒底人手中；你所说的都实现了，你也亲眼看见了。
耶32:24 See, they have made earthworks against the town to take it; and the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword and need of food and disease: and what you have said has taken place, and truly you see it.
耶32:25 但主耶和华啊！是你对我说：“你要用银子买下那块田地，请证人作证。”其实这城已经交在迦勒底人的手中了。’”
耶32:25 And you have said to me, Give the money to get yourself a property, and have the business witnessed; though the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.
耶32:26 耶和华的话临到耶利米，说：
耶32:26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶32:27 “看哪！我是耶和华，是全人类的 神；在我有难成的事吗？
耶32:27 See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything so hard that I am unable to do it?
耶32:28 因此耶和华这样说：‘看哪！我必把这城交在迦勒底人的手中，交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中，他必攻取这城。
耶32:28 So this is what the Lord has said: See, I am giving this town into the hands of the Chaldaeans and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will take it:
耶32:29 攻打这城的迦勒底人必进来，放火烧城，城中的房屋都必烧光，因为这城的居民曾在那些房屋的屋顶上向巴力烧香，向别神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。
耶32:29 And the Chaldaeans, who are fighting against this town, will come and put the town on fire, burning it together with the houses, on the roofs of which perfumes have been burned to the Baal, and drink offerings have been drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.
耶32:30 事实上，以色列人和犹大人自幼以来，就专行我眼中看为恶的事；以色列人的手所作的，无不惹我发怒。’这是耶和华的宣告。
耶32:30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my eyes from their earliest years: the children of Israel have only made me angry with the work of their hands, says the Lord.
耶32:31 ‘因为这城自从建造的那天，直到今日，都不断惹起我的怒气和烈怒，以致我要把她从我面前除掉。
耶32:31 For this town has been to me a cause of wrath and of burning passion from the day of its building till this day, so that I put it away from before my face:
耶32:32 这是因为以色列人和犹大人的一切恶行，就是他们和他们的君王、领袖、祭司、先知，以及犹大每一个人和耶路撒冷居民所行的，都惹我发怒。
耶32:32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to make me angry, they and their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.
耶32:33 他们以背向我，不以脸向我；我不断教导他们，他们却不肯听从，不接受管教；
耶32:33 And they have been turning their backs and not their faces to me: and though I was their teacher, getting up early and teaching them, their ears were not open to teaching.
耶32:34 竟把他们可憎的偶像安放在称为我名下的殿中，污秽了这殿。
耶32:34 But they put their disgusting images into the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.
耶32:35 他们在欣嫩子谷中，建造了巴力的邱坛，使自己的儿女经火献给摩洛。这不是我吩咐的，也没有在我心里想过；他们竟行了这可憎恶的事，使犹大犯罪。’
耶32:35 And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.
耶32:36 “论到这城，就是你们说：‘因为刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫的缘故，交在巴比伦王手中的’，现在耶和华以色列的 神却这样说：
耶32:36 And now the Lord, the God of Israel, has said of this town, about which you say, It is given into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword and by need of food and by disease:
耶32:37 ‘看哪！我曾在怒气、烈怒和大忿怒中，把以色列人赶逐到各地，将来我必从那里把他们招聚出来，领他们回到这地方，使他们安然居住。
耶32:37 See, I will get them together from all the countries where I have sent them in my wrath and in the heat of my passion and in my bitter feeling; and I will let them come back into this place where they may take their rest safely.
耶32:38 他们必作我的子民，我也必作他们的 神。
耶32:38 And they will be my people, and I will be their God:
耶32:39 我要使他们有同一的心志和同一的行为，终生敬畏我，使他们和他们的子孙都得到福乐。
耶32:39 And I will give them one heart and one way, so that they may go on in the worship of me for ever, for their good and the good of their children after them:
耶32:40 我要和他们立永远的约，我必不离开他们，必使他们得到福乐；我也必把敬畏我的心赐给他们，使他们不会离开我。
耶32:40 And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.
耶32:41 我必喜欢他们，使他们得到福乐；我必全心全意、真诚地把他们栽种在这地上。’
耶32:41 And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.
耶32:42 “因为耶和华这样说：‘我怎样使这一切大灾祸临到这人民，我也必照样使我应许他们的福乐临到他们。
耶32:42 For the Lord has said: As I have made all this great evil come on this people, so I will send on them all the good which I said about them.
耶32:43 你们说：“这地荒凉，没有人烟，也没有牲畜，是交在迦勒底人手中的。”但将来在这地上，必有人买卖田地。
耶32:43 And there will be trading in fields in this land of which you say, It is a waste, without man or beast; it is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.
耶32:44 在便雅悯地，在耶路撒冷周围的各处，在犹大各城，以及在山地、高地和南地的各城，人必用银子买卖田地，在地契上签名，把契封好，又请证人作证；因为我必使他们被掳的人归回。’”这是耶和华的宣告。
耶32:44 Men will get fields for money, and put the business in writing, stamping the papers and having them witnessed, in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill-country and in the towns of the lowland and in the towns of the South: for I will let their fate be changed, says the Lord.
