21:1

ὁ λόγος ὁ γενόμενος παρὰ κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν ὅτε ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σεδεκιας τὸν Πασχωρ υἱὸν Μελχιου καὶ Σοφονιαν υἱὸν Μαασαιου τὸν ἱερέα λέγων

The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, when king Sedekias sent to him Paschor son of Melchias and Sophonias son of Maasaias the priest, saying:

西底家王打發瑪基雅的兒子巴施戶珥和祭司瑪西雅的兒子西番雅到耶利米那裡去的時候，有主的話臨到耶利米，說：

21:2

ἐπερώτησον περὶ ἡμῶν τὸν κύριον ὅτι βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐφέστηκεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς εἰ ποιήσει κύριος κατὰ πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἀφ’ ἡμῶν

Inquire of the Lord for us, for the king of Babylon has taken his stand against us—whether the Lord will act according to all his wonders, and he will withdraw from us.

請你為我們求問主，因為巴比倫王起來攻擊我們；或者主照他一切奇妙的作為待我們，使他離開我們。

21:3

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ιερεμιας οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς Σεδεκιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα

And Jeremias said to them: Thus shall you say to Sedekias king of Iouda:

耶利米對他們說：你們要這樣對猶大王西底家說：

21:4

τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεταστρέφω τὰ ὅπλα τὰ πολεμικά ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς πολεμεῖτε ἐν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς ἔξωθεν τοῦ τείχους εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς πόλεως ταύτης

Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am turning back the weapons of war with which you are fighting against the Chaldeans who have shut you in outside the wall, into the midst of this city.

主如此說：看哪，我要使你們手中所拿、用以攻打那圍困你們在城牆外的迦勒底人的兵器掉轉過來，轉到這城的中間。

21:5

καὶ πολεμήσω ἐγὼ ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ ἐκτεταμένῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι κραταιῷ μετὰ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς καὶ παροργισμοῦ μεγάλου

And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a mighty arm, with rage and anger and great indignation.

我要親自用伸出來的手和大能的膀臂，帶著烈怒、忿恨和大惱恨攻擊你們。

21:6

καὶ πατάξω πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἐν θανάτῳ μεγάλῳ καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται

And I will strike all those dwelling in this city, both the people and the cattle, with a great pestilence, and they shall die.

我要擊打住在這城裡的一切，無論是人是牲畜，都必遭大瘟疫而死。

21:7

καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα οὕτως λέγει κύριος δώσω τὸν Σεδεκιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν καταλειφθέντα ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ θανάτου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μαχαίρας εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν ζητούντων τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ κατακόψουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας οὐ φείσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ μὴ οἰκτιρήσω αὐτούς

And after these things, thus says the Lord: I will give Sedekias king of Iouda and his servants and the people left in this city from the pestilence and from the famine and from the sword into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives; and they shall cut them down by the mouth of the sword. I will not spare them, nor will I ever pity them.

此後，主如此說：我必將猶大王西底家和他的臣僕，以及這城裡從瘟疫、饑荒、刀劍中剩下的百姓，交在尋索他們性命的仇敵手中；他們必用刀口殺戮他們。我必不顧惜他們，也決不憐憫他們。

21:8

καὶ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐρεῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ζωῆς καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θανάτου

And to this people you shall say: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I have set before your face the way of life and the way of death.

你又要對這百姓說：主如此說：看哪，我將生命的道路和死亡的道路擺在你們面前。

21:9

ὁ καθήμενος ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ ἀποθανεῖται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος προσχωρῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς ζήσεται καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς σκῦλα καὶ ζήσεται

He who stays in this city shall die by the sword and by famine, but he who goes out to go over to the Chaldeans who have shut you in shall live, and his life shall be his as spoil, and he shall live.

住在這城裡的必遭刀劍、饑荒而死；出去投降那圍困你們的迦勒底人的必得存活，他的性命必歸他作掠物，他必活著。
