1Thus said Yahweh: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
1警戒君民
2Say, Hear the word of Yahweh, king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
2说：‘坐大卫王位的犹大王啊！你和你的臣仆，以及从这些门进来的人民，都要听耶和华的话。
3Thus says Yahweh: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the foreigner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place.
3耶和华这样说：你们要施行公正和公义，解救被抢夺的脱离欺压者的手，不可虐待或以强暴对待寄居的、孤儿和寡妇，也不可在这地方流无辜人的血。
4For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
4如果你们切实地行这些事，就必有坐大卫王位的列王，乘着车，骑着马，与自己的臣仆和人民进入这王宫的各门。
5But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says Yahweh, that this house shall become a desolation.
5如果你们不听从这些话，我指着自己起誓，这宫殿必变为废墟。’”这是耶和华的宣告。
6For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
6因为耶和华论到犹大王的宫殿这样说：“虽然在我看来，你好像基列，好像黎巴嫩的山峰；我却要使你变为旷野，变为无人居住的城市。
7I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
7我要指派毁灭者，各有兵器攻击你；他们必砍下你最好的香柏树，丢进火里。
8Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has Yahweh done thus to this great city?
8多国的人必经过这城，彼此发问：‘耶和华为什么这样对待这大城呢？’
9Then they shall answer, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.
9必有人说：‘是因为他们离弃了耶和华他们 神的约，并且敬拜事奉别神。’”
10Don’t weep for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
10预言沙龙之祸不要为那已死的人哀哭，不要为他悲伤；却要为那远去的人大大哀哭，因为他不得再回来，也不能再见自己的国土。
11For thus says Yahweh touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went forth out of this place: He shall not return there any more.
11因为论到犹大王约西亚的儿子，就是继承他父亲约西亚作王的沙龙，耶和华这样说：“他离开了这地方，必不得再回来；
12But in the place where they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more.
12因为他要死在被掳去的地方，不得再见这地。
13Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
13预言约雅敬之祸“用不义的手段建造自己房屋、用不公正的方法建筑自己楼房的，有祸了！他使自己的同胞白白作工，不把工资付给他们。
14who says, I will build me a wide house and spacious rooms, and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
14他说：‘我要为自己建造宏伟的房屋、宽敞的楼房。’他又为房屋装设宽阔的窗户，用香柏木作镶板，并且漆上红色。
15Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him.
15难道你是用香柏木争胜来表明王的身分吗？你父亲不是也吃也喝，也施行公正和公义吗？那时他得享福乐。
16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me? says Yahweh.
16他为困苦和贫穷人伸冤，那时他得享福乐。这不是认识我的真义吗？”这是耶和华的宣告。
17But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
17“但你的眼你的心什么都不顾，只顾你的不义之财，只知流无辜人的血，施行欺压和迫害的事。”
18Therefore thus says Yahweh 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!
18因此，论到犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬，耶和华这样说：“人必不为他哀伤，说：‘哀哉，我哥哥！’‘哀哉，我姊姊！’人必不为他哀伤，说：‘哀哉，主上！’‘哀哉，尊荣的王！’
19He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
19他像驴子一样被埋葬，被拖走，拋在耶路撒冷城门外。”
20Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed.
20“耶路撒冷啊，上黎巴嫩哀叫吧！在巴珊扬声吧！从亚巴琳哀叫吧！因为你的盟友都毁灭了。
21I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
21你安定的时候，我曾警告过你，你却说：‘我不听！’从你幼年以来，你就是这样，不听从我的话。
22The wind shall feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity: surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
22风要卷走你所有的牧人，你的盟友要被掳去；那时，因你的一切恶行，你必蒙羞受辱。
23Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
23住在黎巴嫩，在香柏林中搭窝的啊！有痛苦临到你，像产妇剧痛的时候，你要怎样呻吟呢？”
24As I live, says Yahweh, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck you there;
24预言哥尼雅之祸“我指着我的永生起誓（这是耶和华的宣告），犹大王约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅，虽然你是我右手上的印戒，我也要把你从手上脱下来，
25and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
25交在那些寻索你性命和你们惧怕的人手中，就是交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和迦勒底人手中。
26I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
26我要把你和生你的母亲驱赶到异地去，你们不是生在那里，却要死在那里。
27But to the land whereunto their soul longs to return, there shall they not return.
27你们（“你们”原文作“他们”）渴望归回本国，却不得回去。”
28Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel in which none delights? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into the land which they don’t know?
28哥尼雅这个人是被鄙视、被摔碎的瓶子，是没有人喜悦的器皿吗？他和他的后裔为什么被驱赶，被拋弃到他们不认识的地去呢？
29O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Yahweh.
29大地啊！大地啊！大地啊！要听耶和华的话。
30Thus says Yahweh, Write you this man childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his seed prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.
30耶和华这样说：“你们要写下，这人算为无子，他的一生毫无成就；因为他的后裔中没有一人可以成功，能坐在大卫的王位上，再次统治犹大。”
