耶利米书第37章

《圣经》耶利米书-第37章

耶37:1 约西亚的儿子西底家代替约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅为王，是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒立在犹大地作王的。 (串)王下24:17代下36:10耶22:24

†[吕]约西亚的儿子西底家做王，是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在犹大地所立，以代替约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅（即：约雅斤，又名耶哥尼罗）的。

†[思]约史雅的儿子漆德克雅继约雅金的儿子耶苛尼雅为王，巴比伦王拿步高立他为王统治犹大地。

†[当代]巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒立了约西亚的儿子西底家作犹大的王，却没有立约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅为王。

†[新译]约西亚的儿子西底家代替约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅作王；西底家是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所立在犹大地作王的。

†[Wlb]约西亚子西底家、代约雅敬子哥尼雅、为王于犹大地、乃巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒立之也、

†[Xdv]巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒立约西亚的儿子西底家代约雅敬的儿子约雅斤作犹大王。

†[Kjv]And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

†[Nkjv]Now King Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

†[BBE]And Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, became king in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.

†[GNT] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia made Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah in the place of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim.

†[NIV]Zedekiah son of Josiah was made king of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he reigned in place of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim.

本会注释　　约西亚的儿子西底家。耶37-44章继续记录耶利米后期的生活和命运，以犹大最后一任国王即位开始（王下24:17,18）。
　　哥尼雅。见@耶22:24@注释。
　　尼布甲尼撒。见@耶21:2@；@但1:1@注释。
　　立在犹大地作王的。西底家是巴比伦人的傀儡，同时也是王位的合法继承人。他无疑必须发誓效忠尼布甲尼撒，但几年之后他违背了誓言，与几个周围的国家结盟对抗巴比伦。西底家和他的谋士们就是这样酿成了公元前586年的悲剧。

耶37:2 但西底家和他的臣仆，并国中的百姓，都不听从耶和华藉先知耶利米所说的话。 (串)代下36:12,14

†[吕]但西底家和他的臣仆、以及国中之民、都不听永恒主的话、不听永恒主由神言人耶利米经手所说的。

†[思]他和他的臣仆及本地人民，都没有听从上主藉耶肋米亚先知所说的话。

†[当代]不过，西底家和他的臣仆及本地的人民，却没有听从主藉先知耶利米所说的话。

†[新译]西底家和他的臣仆，以及那地的人民，都不听从耶和华借耶利米先知所传的话。

†[Wlb]耶和华藉先知耶利米所谕之言、彼与其臣仆、及斯土之民、咸不听从、

†[Xdv]可是西底家和他的官员以及人民都不听从上主吩咐我说的话。

†[Kjv]But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.

†[Nkjv]But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land gave heed to the words of the LORD which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.

†[BBE]But he and his servants and the people of the land did not give ear to the words of the Lord which he said by Jeremiah the prophet.

†[GNT] But neither Zedekiah nor his officials nor the people obeyed the message which the Lord had given me.

†[NIV]Neither he nor his attendants nor the people of the land paid any attention to the words the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.

本会注释　　鉴于西底家后来执政的历史，这是对西底家统治总体特征的预告。
　　就西底家而言，至少他个人是相信耶利米为真先知的。虽然没有明说，但上下文暗示耶利米回应了国王有关祈祷的请求（第3节）。根据记录（第5节），至少在这个请求以后不久，埃及的军队似乎撤离了耶路撒冷。稍后，西底家和先知进行了一次秘密的交谈。即使他不完全相信耶利米是有灵感的使者，至少他心中怀有一种秘密的恐惧。
　　如果这些推定是正确的，那就说明西底家的决定是出于一种犹豫，而不是出于完全的怀疑或不信。西底家草率地屈从首领们的请求，把耶利米投入玛基雅的狱中（见耶38:4-6），后来又听从了一个太监的建议，把他转出地牢（第7-13节），这证明如果西底家有勇气坚持自己的信念，耶路撒冷的命运就会迥然不同。

耶37:3 西底家王打发示利米雅的儿子犹甲和祭司玛西雅的儿子西番雅去见先知耶利米，说：“求你为我们祷告耶和华我们的上帝。” (串)耶21:1,2;29:25;52:24

†[吕]西底家王打发了示利米雅的儿子犹甲、和祭司玛西雅的儿子西番雅去见神言人耶利米，说：“请为我们祷告永恒主我们的上帝。”

†[思]漆德克雅王派舍肋米亚的儿子犹加耳，和司祭玛阿色雅的儿子责法尼雅到耶肋米亚先知那说：“请你为我们转求上主，我们的天主！”

†[当代]西底家王派了示利米雅的儿子犹甲和祭司玛西雅的儿子西番雅去请求先知耶利米，说：“求你为我们向主我们的上帝祷告！”

†[新译]西底家王差派示利米雅的儿子犹甲和玛西雅祭司的儿子西番雅，去见耶利米先知，说：“请你为我们向耶和华我们的　神祷告。”

†[Wlb]西底家王遣示利米雅子犹甲、与祭司玛西雅子西番雅、往见先知耶利米曰、请尔为我祷我上帝耶和华、

†[Xdv]西底家王派示利米雅的儿子犹甲和玛西雅的儿子祭司西番雅来见我，要我为国家向上主──我们的上帝祈祷。

†[Kjv]And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.

†[Nkjv]And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Pray now to the LORD our God for us."

†[BBE]And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.

†[GNT] King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to ask me to pray to the Lord our God on behalf of our nation.

†[NIV]King Zedekiah, however, sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah with the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: "Please pray to the Lord our God for us."

本会注释　　犹甲。见耶38:1。
　　西番雅。犹甲和西番雅二人属于反巴比伦的势力，对先知并不友好（耶21:1,2；29:25；38:16）。
　　我们的上帝。这句话说明他们不但在执行国王的命令，而且藉着表现出对于上帝的宗教热情，希望把耶利米争取到他们一边来（见耶21:1,2）。

耶37:4 那时耶利米在民中出入，因为他们还没有把他囚在监里。

†[吕]那时耶利米还在人民中间出入，因为人还没有把他下在监里。

†[思]那时，耶肋米亚尚出入于民间，人还没有将他放在监狱。

†[当代]（那时，耶利米还可以自由来往，因为他们还未把他囚在狱中。）

†[新译]那时，耶利米还可以在民众中间自由行动，因为他们还没有把他关进监狱里。

†[Wlb]时、耶利米未下狱、尚出入于民中、

†[Xdv]当时，我还没有被关进监狱，可以自由在民间进出。

†[Kjv]Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.

†[Nkjv]Now Jeremiah was coming and going among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.

†[BBE](Now Jeremiah was going about among the people, for they had not put him in prison.

†[GNT] I had not yet been put in prison and was still moving about freely among the people.

†[NIV]Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison.

本会注释　　耶利米没有被囚，直到西底家执政的第10年，耶路撒冷最后一次遭到围攻之时（见@耶32:1,2@注释）。而围攻实际上是在他执政的第9年开始的（耶39:1）。

耶37:5 法老的军队已经从埃及出来，那围困耶路撒冷的迦勒底人听见他们的风声，就拔营离开耶路撒冷去了。 (串)王下24:7结17:15|本章11耶34:21

†[吕]法老的军队已经从埃及出来；那围困耶路撒冷的迦勒底人听见了这风声，就拔营离开耶路撒冷而去。

†[思]法郎军队忽由埃及出发，围攻耶路撒冷的加色丁人一听见他们出动的消息，就由耶路撒冷撤退了。

†[当代]法老的军队已经从埃及出发了，正在围攻耶路撒冷的迦勒底人一听见他们出动的消息，就从耶路撒冷退兵了。

†[新译]法老的军队已经从埃及出来；那些围困耶路撒冷的迦勒底人听见了他们的风声，就从耶路撒冷撤退了。

†[Wlb]法老之军旅自埃及而出、围耶路撒冷之迦勒底人闻之、遂撤营、离耶路撒冷、

†[Xdv]那时巴比伦的军队围困着耶路撒冷，但是他们一听到埃及王的军队已经开出国境，就撤退了。

†[Kjv]Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.

†[Nkjv]Then Pharaoh's army came up from Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they departed from Jerusalem.

†[BBE]And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.)

†[GNT] The Babylonian army had been besieging Jerusalem, but when they heard that the Egyptian army had crossed the Egyptian border, they retreated.

†[NIV]Pharaoh's army had marched out of Egypt, and when the Babylonians who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.

本会注释　　这次行动无疑是出于合弗拉（希腊语人称为亚比里斯）和西底家之间对抗尼布甲尼撒的协议（见@结17:15@注释）。埃及的军队通常配备精良的战车和战马（结17:15；见赛31:1），并具有军事围攻的能力（结17:17）。

耶37:6 耶和华的话临到先知耶利米说：

†[吕]那时永恒主的话传与神言人耶利米：

†[思]此时上主有话传给耶肋米亚先知说：

†[当代]这时，主的话临到先知耶利米说：

†[新译]那时，耶和华的话临到耶利米先知，

†[Wlb]耶和华谕耶利米曰、

†[Xdv]上主──以色列的上帝吩咐我

†[Kjv]Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah saying,

†[Nkjv]Then the word of the LORD came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

†[BBE]Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

†[GNT] Then the Lord, the God of Israel, told me

†[NIV]Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet:

耶37:7 “耶和华以色列的上帝如此说：犹大王打发你们来求问我，你们要如此对他说：‘那出来帮助你们法老的军队必回埃及本国去。 (串)耶21:2

†[吕]“永恒主以色列之上帝这么说：犹大王打发了你们来求问我，你们要对他这么说：‘看吧，法老的军队、那出来帮助你们的，必回埃及它本地去。

†[思]“上主，以色列的天主这样说：你们应这样回答派你们前来求问我的犹大君王说：看，出发前来援助你们的法郎军队，仍要回到自己的本地埃及去。

†[当代]“主以色列的上帝这样说：你们要对差你们来求问我的犹大王这样说：‘看哪，那出来支援你们的法老军队要返回自己的本地埃及去，

†[新译]“耶和华以色列的　神这样说：你们要对差派你们来求问我的犹大王这样说：‘看哪！那出来帮助你们的法老的军队，必回到他们的埃及本地去。

†[Wlb]以色列之上帝耶和华云、其告遣尔问我之犹大王曰、法老之军旅出以助尔、必返埃及、入其故土、

†[Xdv]对犹大王西底家这样说：“从埃及开来支持你的军队要中途折返。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.

†[Nkjv]"Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Thus you shall say to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me: "Behold, Pharaoh's army which has come up to help you will return to Egypt, to their own land.

†[BBE]The Lord, the God of Israel, has said: This is what you are to say to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from me: See, Pharaoh's army, which has come out to your help, will go back to Egypt, to their land.

†[GNT] to say to Zedekiah, "The Egyptian army is on its way to help you, but it will return home.

†[NIV]This is what the Lord , the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of me, 'Pharaoh's army, which has marched out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt.

本会注释　　西底家向埃及求援，违背了与迦勒底人的“约”（结17:17,18）。埃及人的出兵，就像在亚述人入侵时特哈加的出兵一样（王下19:9；赛37:9），只能暂时解除对耶路撒冷的攻势。

耶37:8 迦勒底人必再来攻打这城，并要攻取，用火焚烧。 (串)耶34:22

†[吕]迦勒底人必再来攻击这城；将城攻取，放火焚烧。

†[思]至于加色丁人仍要卷土重来，进攻这座城市；且要攻下，放火烧城。

†[当代]而迦勒底人却要卷土重来，攻打这城，并且要占领它，纵火把它烧掉。’

†[新译]迦勒底人必回来，攻击这城，占领这城，放火烧毁这城。’

†[Wlb]迦勒底人必复来攻斯邑、取而焚之、

†[Xdv]巴比伦的军队要回来攻城；他们要占领这城，放火烧毁。

†[Kjv]And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.

†[Nkjv]And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city, and take it and burn it with fire."'

†[BBE]And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.

†[GNT] Then the Babylonians will come back, attack the city, capture it, and burn it down.

†[NIV]Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture it and burn it down.'

本会注释　　尼布甲尼撒击退了亚比里斯的进攻以后，回师进军耶路撒冷，占领和完全地摧毁了这座城市（王下25:1-10；代下36:17-19）。

耶37:9 耶和华如此说：你们不要自欺说“迦勒底人必定离开我们”，因为他们必不离开。

†[吕]永恒主这么说：你们不要自己欺骗自己说：“迦勒底人一定会离开我们”；他们是不离开的。

†[思]上主这样说：你们不要自欺说：加色丁人已离我们远去！其实，他们并没有远去。

†[当代]你们不要自欺说：‘迦勒底人就快撤军了。’他们并没有离你们而去。

†[新译]耶和华这样说：你们不要自己欺骗自己，说：‘迦勒底人必定离开我们！’因为他们必不离开。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、毋自欺云、迦勒底人必去我、必不去也、

†[Xdv]我──上主警告你，不要欺骗自己，以为巴比伦人不回来；其实他们一定回来。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.

†[Nkjv]Thus says the LORD: "Do not deceive yourselves, saying, "The Chaldeans will surely depart from us," for they will not depart.

†[BBE]The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away.

†[GNT] I, the Lord, warn you not to deceive yourselves into thinking that the Babylonians will not come back, because they will.

†[NIV]This is what the Lord says: Do not deceive yourselves, thinking, 'The Babylonians will surely leave us.' They will not!

本会注释　　犹大的国王和他的谋士们希望埃及能够从巴比伦人的手中解救他们，这是枉然的。

耶37:10 你们即便杀败了与你们争战的迦勒底全军，但剩下受伤的人也必各人从帐棚里起来，用火焚烧这城。’” (串)耶21:4,5

†[吕]就使你们击败了那攻击你们、的迦勒底人全军，其中只剩下一些被刺重伤的人，他们也会各从自己的帐棚里起来，放火焚烧这城的。’”

†[思]纵使你们能击败与你们交战的加色丁人所有的军队，使他们中只剩下一些受伤的人，他们仍要由帐中奋起，放火烧毁这座城市。

†[当代]你们纵然能打败与你们作战的迦勒底人全军，使他们只剩下一些残兵，这些残兵也要从帐棚中奋勇起来，放火焚毁这城。”

†[新译]即使你们击败了那攻打你们的迦勒底全军，他们中间只剩下一些受重伤的人，他们也必各从自己的帐棚里起来，放火烧毁这城。’”

†[Wlb]攻尔之迦勒底人、尔纵击其全军、惟遗受创者于其中、彼必自幕而起、火焚斯邑、

†[Xdv]即使你击败巴比伦全军，只剩下一些躺在营里的伤兵，他们还是会起来，放火烧毁这城。”

†[Kjv]For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

†[Nkjv]For though you had defeated the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, they would rise up, every man in his tent, and burn the city with fire."'

†[BBE]For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire.

†[GNT] Even if you defeat the whole Babylonian army, so that only wounded men are left, lying in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city to the ground."

†[NIV]Even if you were to defeat the entire Babylonian army that is attacking you and only wounded men were left in their tents, they would come out and burn this city down."

本会注释　　形象地说明了耶路撒冷必遭厄运。鉴于圣殿即将被摧毁，耶路撒冷的一些义人决心不让神圣的约柜落到侵略军强暴的手中（见@耶27:19@注释）。在最后的围攻中，巴比伦人为解除来自埃及军队的威胁，暂时解除了包围（见@耶32:2@注释），于是给这些虔诚的人提供了把约柜藏起来的机会。他们怀着悲哀忧伤的心情秘密地将约柜运到一个山洞的安全之所。“那神圣的约柜至今仍隐藏着。自从它被隐藏以后，始终没有受到打扰”（《先知与君王》第453页）。约柜里有上帝用自己的手指写上十诫的两块石版（申10:1-5）。见出31:18怀爱伦注释。

耶37:11 迦勒底的军队因怕法老的军队，拔营离开耶路撒冷的时候， (串)本章5

†[吕]迦勒底人军队因怕法老军队，而拔营离开耶路撒冷的时候，

†[思]加色丁人的军队受法郎军队的威胁，由耶路撒冷撤退时，

†[当代]当迦勒底的军队因怕法老的军力而撤离耶路撒冷之际，

†[新译]迦勒底人的军队因惧怕法老的军队而从耶路撒冷撤退的时候，

†[Wlb]迦勒底军为惧法老之军、既撤营、离耶路撒冷、

†[Xdv]由于埃及军队逼近，巴比伦军队撤离耶路撒冷，

†[Kjv]And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,

†[Nkjv]And it happened, when the army of the Chaldeans left the siege of Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,

†[BBE]And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army,

†[GNT] The Babylonian army retreated from Jerusalem because the Egyptian army was approaching.

†[NIV]After the Babylonian army had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army,

本会注释　　拔营。迦勒底军队“拔营”，就是撤围。

耶37:12 耶利米就杂在民中出离耶路撒冷，要往便雅悯地去，在那里得自己的地业。 (串)耶1:1;32:8

†[吕]耶利米就离开耶路撒冷而出去，要往便雅悯地、去在那里、在人民中间、取得他自己的产业分额（意难确定）。

†[思]耶肋米亚就离开耶路撒冷，到本雅明地去，要在那由自己的亲族间分得一份产业。

†[当代]耶利米就离开耶路撒冷，前往便雅悯地去看他所买的地。

†[新译]耶利米离开耶路撒冷，往便雅悯地去，要在那里，在同乡中间，取得自己的产业。

†[Wlb]耶利米出耶路撒冷、欲往便雅悯地、得其业于民中、

†[Xdv]所以我准备离开耶路撒冷到便雅悯境内的亲族那里去，继承我分到的家产。

†[Kjv]Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.

†[Nkjv]that Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to claim his property there among the people.

†[BBE]Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, with the purpose of taking up his heritage there among the people.

†[GNT] So I started to leave Jerusalem and go to the territory of Benjamin to take possession of my share of the family property.

†[NIV]Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property among the people there.

本会注释　　耶利米就杂在。经过过多年忠实的服务，耶利米认为自己的工作已经完成。现在他想回到家乡亚拿突去（见《先知与君王》第453页）。
　　得自己的地业。这里的原文含义模糊。耶利米在“便雅悯地”的亚拿突有自己的产业（耶32:6-12）。他所指可能就是这一产业。

耶37:13 他到了便雅悯门那里，有守门官名叫伊利雅，是哈拿尼亚的孙子、示利米雅的儿子，他就拿住先知耶利米，说：“你是投降迦勒底人哪！” (串)耶38:7亚14:10|本章3耶38:1|耶21:9;38:19

†[吕]他到了便雅悯门那里，有个警卫官、名叫伊利雅，是哈拿尼亚的孙子、示利米雅的儿子，他把神言人耶利米拿住，说：“你，你是在投降迦勒底人哪。”

†[思]当他到了本雅明门时，那有一个站岗的人，名叫依黎雅，是舍肋米亚的儿子，哈纳尼雅的孙子，捉住耶肋米亚先知说：“你想去投降加色丁人！”

†[当代]当他来到便雅悯门时，有一位名叫伊利雅的守门官，他是哈拿尼亚的孙子、示利米雅的儿子，把先知耶利米抓起来，说：“你想去投奔迦勒底人吧！”

†[新译]他到了便雅悯门，那里有一个守卫的长官，名叫伊利雅，是哈拿尼雅的孙子、示利米雅的儿子；他拿住耶利米先知，说：“你想去投降迦勒底人！”

†[Wlb]既至便雅悯门、有阍长名伊利雅、乃哈拿尼亚孙、示利米雅子也、执先知耶利米、曰、汝降迦勒底人也、

†[Xdv]但是，当我来到便雅悯门的时候，哈拿尼亚的孙子，示利米雅的儿子，守卫队队长伊利雅逮捕了我。他指控我：“你想向巴比伦人投降！”

†[Kjv]And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.

†[Nkjv]And when he was in the Gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there whose name was Irijah the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are defecting to the Chaldeans!"

†[BBE]But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans.

†[GNT] But when I reached the Benjamin Gate, the officer in charge of the soldiers on duty there, a man by the name of Irijah, the son of Shelemiah and grandson of Hananiah, stopped me and said, "You are deserting to the Babylonians!"

†[NIV]But when he reached the Benjamin Gate, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, "You are deserting to the Babylonians!"

本会注释　　便雅悯门。通常被认定为耶路撒冷东北角的羊门。
　　伊利雅。可能是犹甲的兄弟（见第3节）。
　　你是投降。伊利雅指控耶利米犯下叛国罪，显然是因为他推测先知想逃到巴比伦军营投敌。

耶37:14 耶利米说：“你这是谎话，我并不是投降迦勒底人。”伊利雅不听他的话，就拿住他，解到首领那里。 (串)耶36:12

†[吕]耶利米说：“胡说；我并不是在投降迦勒底人哪。”伊利雅不听他，却把他拿住，解到首领那里。

†[思]耶肋米亚答说：“冤枉！我不是去投降加色人丁”。依黎雅不听他说，就捉住耶肋米亚，带他去见首长。

†[当代]耶利米说：“不，我不是去投奔迦勒底人。”但他不信，于是拿住先知，把他押到官长那里。

†[新译]耶利米说：“这是谎话！我并不是去投降迦勒底人。”但伊利雅不听他，仍拿住他，把他带到众领袖那里。

†[Wlb]耶利米曰、妄哉、我不降迦勒底人、伊利雅弗听、执耶利米、解至牧伯、

†[Xdv]我回答：“不，我不是去投降！”但是伊利雅不听，把我捉了起来，交给官员。

†[Kjv]Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

†[Nkjv]Then Jeremiah said, "False! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him. So Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the princes.

†[BBE]Then Jeremiah said, That is not true; I am not going to the Chaldaeans. But he would not give ear to him: so Irijah made him prisoner and took him to the rulers.

†[GNT] I answered, "That's not so! I'm not deserting." But Irijah would not listen to me. Instead, he arrested me and took me to the officials.

†[NIV]That's not true!" Jeremiah said. "I am not deserting to the Babylonians." But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.

耶37:15 首领恼怒耶利米，就打了他，将他囚在文士约拿单的房屋中，因为他们以这房屋当作监牢。 (串)耶38:26

†[吕]首领恼怒耶利米，打了他，将他下在监里、就是秘书约拿单的屋子，因为他们拿这屋子当作监狱。

†[新译]众领袖都恼怒耶利米，就吩咐人打他，并且把他关进监里，就是在书记约拿单的房子里，因为他们已把这房子改作监狱。

†[Wlb]诸牧伯怒耶利米、挞之、囚于缮写约拿单室、盖以此室为狱也、

†[Xdv]他们大发雷霆，叫人打我，把我关在宫廷秘书乔纳单的屋里；这屋子已改成监狱。

本会注释　　迦勒底人因埃及军队的逼近，就解除了对耶路撒冷的围困（见第5节注释），这无疑提高了反巴比伦势力的士气。

耶37:16 耶利米来到狱中，进入牢房，在那里囚了多日。 (串)耶38:6

†[Nkjv]When Jeremiah entered the dungeon and the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,

†[BBE]So Jeremiah came into the hole of the prison, under the arches, and was there for a long time.

†[GNT] I was put in an underground cell and kept there a long time.

†[NIV]Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time.

本会注释　　牢房。直译是“地牢”，作为单身犯人的囚室。耶利米在这个地牢里过得很苦，所以他后来要求不要被送回到这里（见第20节；耶38:26）。
　　在那里囚了多日。先知在这个特殊的地牢里关了好几个星期。他总共被囚了大约一年时间。

耶37:17 西底家王打发人提出他来，在自己的宫内私下问他说：“从耶和华有什么话临到没有？”耶利米说：“有！”又说：“你必交在巴比伦王手中。” (串)耶38:14|耶32:4

†[吕]西底家王打发了人去带他出来；王在自己宫中私下问他说：“从永恒主那里来了什么话语没有？”耶利米说：“有。”他又说：“你必被交于巴比伦王手中。”

†[Xdv]后来，西底家王派人提我到他那里。他在王宫私下问我：“有上主的信息没有？”我回答：“有！你将被交在巴比伦王手中。”

†[Kjv]Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

†[Nkjv]then Zedekiah the king sent and took him out. The king asked him secretly in his house, and said, "Is there any word from the LORD?" And Jeremiah said, "There is." Then he said, "You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon!"

†[BBE]Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon.

†[NIV]Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, "Is there any word from the Lord ?" "Yes," Jeremiah replied, "you will be handed over to the king of Babylon."

本会注释　　西底家王打发人。西底家不赞成虐待先知，但似乎是因担心他的谋士，优柔寡断的西底家“私下”召来了耶利米，仍希望从先知那里得知“从耶和华有什么话”对他是利于的。
　　你必交在。年老的先知并没有屈从诱惑而削弱自己的信息，以躲避他仇敌的进一步迫害。他勇敢地重复了他以前有关西底家会被巴比伦人掳走的预言（见耶32:1-5）。

耶37:18 耶利米又对西底家王说：“我在什么事上得罪你，或你的臣仆，或这百姓，你竟将我囚在监里呢？

†[吕]耶利米又对西底家王说：“我有什么得罪了你，或你的臣仆，或这人民，你们竟把我下在监狱里呢？

†[思]此外，耶肋米亚还问漆德克雅王说：“我在什么事上得罪了你和你的臣仆，以及这些人民，你们竟将我放在监牢？

†[新译]耶利米再对西底家王说：“我有什么得罪你，或你的臣仆，或这人民，你竟然把我送进监狱里呢？

†[Wlb]耶利米谓西底家王曰、我何所干罪于尔、或尔臣仆、或庶民、致幽我于狱耶、

†[Xdv]接着，我问他：“我在什么地方得罪你，得罪你的官员或人民，你们竟把我关在监狱里。

†[Kjv]Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?

†[Nkjv]Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What offense have I committed against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

†[BBE]Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

†[GNT] Then I asked, "What crime have I committed against you or your officials or this people, to make you put me in prison?

†[NIV]Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What crime have I committed against you or your officials or this people, that you have put me in prison?

耶37:19 对你们预言巴比伦王必不来攻击你们和这地的先知，现今在哪里呢？ (串)耶28:1,2,10-13

†[吕]那些对你们传神言说：‘巴比伦王必不会来攻击你们和这地’的那些‘神言人’、如今在哪里呢？

†[思]你们那些曾向你们预言说：巴比伦王不会来攻打你们和这地方的先知，现在在哪？

†[Nkjv]Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, "The king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land'?

†[BBE]Where now are your prophets who said to you, The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land?

†[GNT] What happened to your prophets who told you that the king of Babylonia would not attack you or the country?

†[NIV]Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, 'The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land'?

本会注释　　这些假先知骗苦了国王。耶路撒冷并没有像他们所宣称的得救（见耶28:1-4），反而却被包围了。迦勒底人的暂时撤退，似乎证实了他们的希望，但其实只能加强他们的骗局。

耶37:20 主我的王啊，求你现在垂听，准我在你面前的恳求：不要使我回到文士约拿单的房屋中，免得我死在那里。” (串)耶38:26

†[吕]如今我主我王阿，求你垂听！愿你允准我在你面前所恳求的！不要使我回到秘书约拿单的屋子里，免得我死在那里。”

†[思]如今我主君王，请听！愿你开恩允许我的祈求，不要叫我再回到书记约纳堂家里去，免得我死在那里！”

†[当代]现在，我主我王啊，请听！求你答允我在你面前的请求，不要把我带回律法教师约拿单的房里，免得我死在那里。”

†[新译]我主我王啊！现在求你垂听，求你容我向你恳求！不要把我送回书记约拿单的房子去，免得我死在那里。”

†[Wlb]我主我王欤、请尔听之、纳我所求、毋令我复返缮写约拿单之室、免我死亡、

†[Xdv]陛下啊，求你垂听我的请求，不要把我送回乔纳单家的监狱，免得我死在那里。”

†[Kjv]Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

†[Nkjv]Therefore please hear now, O my lord the king. Please, let my petition be accepted before you, and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there."

†[BBE]And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.

†[GNT] And now, Your Majesty, I beg you to listen to me and do what I ask. Please do not send me back to the prison in Jonathan's house. If you do, I will surely die there."

†[NIV]But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there."

本会注释　　见第16节注释。

耶37:21 于是，西底家王下令，他们就把耶利米交在护卫兵的院中，每天从饼铺街取一个饼给他，直到城中的饼用尽了。这样，耶利米仍在护卫兵的院中。 (串)耶32:2;38:13,28|耶38:9;52:6

†[吕]于是西底家王下了命令，人就把耶利米交在护卫监的院子里；每天从制饼街上有个饼给了他，直到城里的饼都用尽了。这样，耶利米是这样在护卫监的院子里呆着的。

†[思]于是漆德克雅王下令，将耶肋米亚囚禁在监狱的庭院，每日由面包房取一份食物给他，直到城中粮食用尽。从此耶肋米亚就住在拘留所内的庭院。

†[当代]西底家王便下令把耶利米囚在护卫兵的庭院里，每天从饼铺取一个饼给他，直到城中无粮为止。耶利米就住在护卫兵的庭院内。

†[新译]于是西底家王下令，把耶利米拘留在卫兵的院子里；他们每天从饼铺街拿一个饼给他，直到城里的饼都吃光了。耶利米就这样留在卫兵的院子里。

†[Wlb]西底家王乃命幽耶利米于护军之院、日由饼市、取饼一方与之、迨及邑中之饼告罄、耶利米遂拘留于护军之院、

†[Xdv]于是，西底家王下令把我关在宫殿里的监狱。我留在那里，天天分到一块从饼铺街送来的饼，直到城里的饼都吃完。”

†[GNT] So King Zedekiah ordered me to be locked up in the palace courtyard. I stayed there, and each day I was given a loaf of bread from the bakeries until all the bread in the city was gone.

†[NIV]King Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.

本会注释　　交在护卫兵的院中。这是对耶利米请求的答复（第20节）。除了耶38:6所提到的那段时间以外，先知都被关在“犹大王的宫”中，护卫兵的院内（见耶32:2；33:1），那是在地面之上，有充足的光线和空气，直到该城被巴比伦人占领。
　　一个饼。直译是“一个圆面包”。国王的命令表明耶路撒冷已遭到围困。食物供应十分紧张。
