耶利米书第38章

《圣经》耶利米书-第38章

耶38:1 玛坦的儿子示法提雅、巴施户珥的儿子基大利、示利米雅的儿子犹甲、玛基雅的儿子巴示户珥听见耶利米对众人所说的话，说： (串)耶37:3|耶21:1|耶21:8

†[吕]玛坦的儿子示法提雅、巴施户珥的儿子基大利、示利米雅的儿子犹甲、玛基雅的儿子巴示户珥、听见耶利米对众民所说的话，说：

†[思]玛堂的儿子舍法提雅，帕市胡尔的儿子革达里雅，舍肋米雅的儿子犹加耳，玛耳基雅的儿子帕市胡尔听见耶肋米亚向全体人民讲话说：

†[当代]玛坦的儿子示法提雅、巴施户珥的儿子基大利、示利米雅的儿子犹甲、玛基雅的儿子巴示户珥听见耶利米对众人说：“主这样说：

†[新译]玛坦的儿子示法提雅、巴施户珥的儿子基大利、示利米雅的儿子犹甲、玛基雅的儿子示巴户珥，听见耶利米对众民宣讲以下的话：

†[Wlb]玛坦子示法提雅、巴施户珥子基大利、示利米雅子犹甲、玛基雅子巴示户珥、闻耶利米告民众之言曰、

†[Xdv]马坦的儿子示法提雅、巴施户珥的儿子基大利、示利米雅的儿子犹甲、玛基雅的儿子巴施户珥听见我向群众转达

†[Kjv]Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,

†[Nkjv]Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying,

†[BBE]Now it came to the ears of Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, that Jeremiah had said to all the people,

†[NIV]Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah was telling all the people when he said,

本会注释　　基大利。要把他与另一个基大利区别开来。那是亚希甘的儿子，耶利米的保护者（见耶26:24；39:14）。关于犹甲和巴施户珥，见耶21:1；37:3。这四个首领是耶利米最主要的敌人。

耶38:2 “耶和华如此说：住在这城里的必遭刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死；但出去归降迦勒底人的必得存活，就是以自己命为掠物的，必得存活。 (串)耶21:9

†[吕]“永恒主这么说：住在这城里的、必因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死；但出去归降迦勒底人的、必得活着；必掠得自己的性命而活着。

†[思]“上主这样说：凡留在这城的，必死于刀剑、荒和瘟疫；凡出降加色丁人的，必能生存：获得生命如获得战利品一样，可得生存。

†[当代]‘凡留在这城的，必死于刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫；凡出去向迦勒底人投降的，逃命之余，必得生存。’

†[新译]“耶和华这样说：‘凡留在这城里的，必因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死；但出去向迦勒底人投降的，必可以活着；他们必捡回自己的性命，得以生存。’

†[Wlb]耶和华云、凡居此邑者、必亡于锋刃、饥馑疫疠、惟出而归迦勒底人者、必得生存、获其生命、如获掠物、

†[Xdv]上主的话说：“谁留在这城，谁就死于刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫。但是，谁向巴比伦人投降，谁就不至于被杀，性命得以保全。”

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.

†[Nkjv]"Thus says the LORD: "He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence; but he who goes over to the Chaldeans shall live; his life shall be as a prize to him, and he shall live.'

†[BBE]These are the words of the Lord: Whoever goes on living in this town will come to his death by the sword or through need of food or by disease: but whoever goes out to the Chaldaeans will keep his life out of the power of the attackers and be safe.

†[GNT] the Lord had said, "Whoever stays on in the city will die in war or of starvation or disease. But those who go out and surrender to the Babylonians will not be killed; they will at least escape with their life."

†[NIV]This is what the Lord says: 'Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague, but whoever goes over to the Babylonians will live. He will escape with his life; he will live.'

耶38:3 耶和华如此说：这城必要交在巴比伦王军队的手中，他必攻取这城。” (串)耶21:10;32:3

†[吕]永恒主这么说：这城一定会交在巴比伦王的军队手中，使他攻取它。”

†[思]上主这样说：这座城市必交在巴比伦王军队的手中，他必占领这座城市。”

†[当代]主这样说：‘这城必定交在巴比伦王军队的手中，他必攻占这城。’”

†[新译]耶和华这样说：‘这城必交在巴比伦王军队的手中，巴比伦王必攻取这城。’”

†[Wlb]耶和华又曰、是邑必付于巴比伦王军旅之手、彼必取之、

†[Xdv]我又告诉他们上主这样说：“我一定要把这城交给巴比伦的军队；他们要来占领。”

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.

†[Nkjv]Thus says the LORD: "This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it."'

†[BBE]The Lord has said, This town will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.

†[GNT] I was also telling them that the Lord had said, "I am going to give the city to the Babylonian army, and they will capture it."

†[NIV]And this is what the Lord says: 'This city will certainly be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.' "

耶38:4 于是首领对王说：“求你将这人治死；因他向城里剩下的兵丁和众民说这样的话，使他们的手发软。这人不是求这百姓得平安，乃是叫他们受灾祸。” (串)耶26:11

†[吕]于是首领们对王说：“这个人该受处死；因为他向这城里剩下的军兵和众民说了这样的话，是叫军兵的手和众民的手都软下来；因为这个人不是谋求这人民得平安，只是谋求他们受灾祸罢了。

†[思]众首长就对君王说：“请将这人处死！因为他说出了这样使遗留在城的战士和全体人民丧志的话；实在，这人谋求的，不是人民的福利，而是人民的灾祸。”

†[当代]官长就对王说：“求你把这人处死吧！因为他向留在这城的战士和人民散播使人丧志的话；这家伙不为人民著想，反成了他们的祸害。”

†[新译]于是众领袖对王说：“这人应该处死，因为他向这城里剩下的军兵和众民说了这样的话，使他们的手都软弱无力。这人不是为这人民求平安，却是惹来灾祸的。”

†[Wlb]牧伯奏王曰、斯人不求民利、惟求其害、请致之死、盖彼所言、使邑中所遗之战士庶民、厥手咸弱、

†[Xdv]于是官员们去见王，对他说：“求你处死这个人；因为他教唆在城里的兵士和人民投降，使士气低沉。他不是为人民的利益着想，只想害他们。”

†[Kjv]Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

†[Nkjv]Therefore the princes said to the king, "Please, let this man be put to death, for thus he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the welfare of this people, but their harm."

†[BBE]Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man be put to death, because he is putting fear into the hearts of the men of war who are still in the town, and into the hearts of the people, by saying such things to them: this man is not working for the well-being of the people, but for their damage.

†[GNT] Then the officials went to the king and said, "This man must be put to death. By talking like this he is making the soldiers in the city lose their courage, and he is doing the same thing to everyone else left in the city. He is not trying to help the pe

†[NIV]Then the officials said to the king, "This man should be put to death. He is discouraging the soldiers who are left in this city, as well as all the people, by the things he is saying to them. This man is not seeking the good of these people but their rui

本会注释　　首领们不肯接受耶利米的信息。他们把先知看作是一个叛徒，为了个人的安全要逃到巴比伦去。参耶37:11-15。他们要求对耶利米处以极刑。

耶38:5 西底家王说：“他在你们手中，无论何事，王也不能与你们反对。”

†[吕]西底家王说：“看哪，他在你们手中；无论怎样王都不会干涉你们。”

†[思]漆德克雅王答说：“看，他已经在你们手中；君王不能反对你们。”

†[当代]西底家王说：“看哪，他已在你们手中，王不能反对你们。”

†[新译]西底家王说：“看哪！他在你们手中；王不能作什么反对你们。”

†[Wlb]西底家王曰、彼在尔手、王不能御尔也、

†[Xdv]西底家王回答：“好啦！他在你们手中，无论你们怎样处理，我不反对。”

†[Kjv]Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.

†[Nkjv]Then Zedekiah the king said, "Look, he is in your hand. For the king can do nothing against you."

†[BBE]Then Zedekiah the king said, See, he is in your hands: for the king was not able to do anything against them.

†[GNT] King Zedekiah answered, "Very well, then, do what you want to with him; I can't stop you."

†[NIV]He is in your hands," King Zedekiah answered. "The king can do nothing to oppose you."

本会注释　　西底家性格软弱，优柔寡断，无法拒绝强硬的部下，勉强同意他们的要求。

耶38:6 他们就拿住耶利米，下在哈米勒的儿子（或作：王的儿子）玛基雅的牢狱里；那牢狱在护卫兵的院中。他们用绳子将耶利米系下去。牢狱里没有水，只有淤泥，耶利米就陷在淤泥中。 (串)耶37:21

†[吕]他们就拿住耶利米，给扔在王子玛基雅的井里；那井在护卫监的院子里；他们用绳子将耶利米缒下去。井里没有水，只是淤泥；耶利米就沉陷在淤泥中。

†[思]他们便将耶肋米亚丢在王子玛耳基雅在监狱庭院有的蓄水池内，用绳将他放下去；池内没有水，只有污泥；耶肋米亚就陷在污泥。

†[当代]于是，他们用绳把耶利米缒到王子玛基雅的储水池里，这池在护卫兵的庭院内，池中没有水，只有污泥；耶利米就陷在污泥中。

†[新译]他们就拿住耶利米，把他丢在王子玛基雅的井里，那井是在卫兵的院子里的；他们用绳子把耶利米缒下去。井里没有水，只有淤泥；耶利米就陷在淤泥中。

†[Wlb]彼众遂执耶利米、囚于王子玛基雅之井、在护军院内、以绳缒之下、井无水而有泥、耶利米乃陷于泥中、

†[Xdv]于是他们抓住我，用绳子把我坠入玛基雅太子的井里。这口井在宫廷的监狱里，井里没有水，只有淤泥，我就陷在淤泥中。

†[Kjv]Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.

†[Nkjv]So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the king's son, which was in the court of the prison, and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire. So Jeremiah sank in the mire.

†[BBE]So they took Jeremiah and put him into the water-hole of Malchiah, the king's son, in the place of the armed watchmen: and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the hole there was no water, but wet earth: and Jeremiah went down into the wet earth.

†[GNT] So they took me and let me down by ropes into Prince Malchiah's well, which was in the palace courtyard. There was no water in the well, only mud, and I sank down in it.

†[NIV]So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king's son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it, only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.

本会注释　　牢狱。直译是“深坑”或“水牢”。玛基雅可能是第1节所提到的那个人。“哈米勒”意为“国王”。玛基雅是王室的成员，所以被视为“王的儿子”（见@耶36:26@注释）。
　　没有水，只有淤泥。要么水牢的水源因围城而切断，要么当时是十月或十一月，经过干旱季节以后没有留下什么水（见《SDA圣经注释》卷二第110页）。不管怎样，水牢里只剩下肮脏的淤泥。首领们担心如果公开处决耶利米，会引起百姓的反感（见第4,5节注释），所以就把先知关在水牢里，让他饿死（第9节）。耶利米在哀3:53-55节里所描述的，可能就是这段悲惨痛苦的经历。

耶38:7 在王宫的太监古实人以伯米勒，听见他们将耶利米下了牢狱（那时王坐在便雅悯门口）， (串)耶39:16|耶37:13

†[吕]古实人以伯米勒、是个做太监的人、他在王宫、听见人将耶利米下在井里──那时王在便雅悯门口坐着──

†[思]住在王宫的雇士人厄贝得默肋客宦官，听见人把耶肋米亚放在蓄水池。那时君王正坐在本雅明门旁，

†[当代]在王宫任太监的古实人以伯米勒听见他们把耶利米囚在储水池里（那时王正坐在便雅悯门口），

†[新译]宫中的臣宰古实人以伯米勒，在王宫里听见他们把耶利米关在井里的消息（那时，王正在便雅悯门坐着），

†[Wlb]时、王坐于便雅悯门、王宫宦竖、古实人以伯米勒、闻耶利米囚于井、

†[Xdv]那时，王在便雅悯门开庭。宫廷太监，苏但人以伯米勒听到他们把我坠入井里的消息，

†[Kjv]Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

†[Nkjv]Now Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon. When the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,

†[BBE]Now it came to the ears of Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an unsexed servant in the king's house, that they had put Jeremiah into the water-hole; the king at that time being seated in the doorway of Benjamin:

†[GNT] However, Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch who worked in the royal palace, heard that they had put me in the well. At that time the king was holding court at the Benjamin Gate.

†[NIV]But Ebed-Melech, a Cushite, an official in the royal palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. While the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate,

本会注释　　以伯米勒。直译是“国王的仆人”。关于以伯米勒，只知道他是国王身边的宠臣（见第8节注释）。他利用自己的影响勇敢地保护耶利米。
　　便雅悯门口。通常指耶路撒冷东北角的羊门。

耶38:8 以伯米勒就从王宫里出来，对王说：

†[吕]以伯米勒就从王宫出来，告诉王说：

†[思]厄贝得默肋客就从王宫出来，禀告君王说：

†[当代]便跑去对王说：

†[新译]以伯米勒就从王宫里出来，禀告王说：

†[Wlb]则出王宫、告王曰、

†[Xdv]就到王宫向王陈情：

†[Kjv]Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king saying,

†[Nkjv]Ebed-Melech went out of the king's house and spoke to the king, saying:

†[BBE]And Ebed-melech went out from the king's house and said to the king,

†[GNT] So Ebedmelech went there and said to the king,

†[NIV]Ebed-Melech went out of the palace and said to him,

本会注释　　从王宫里出来。说明以伯米勒与国王的亲密关系。

耶38:9 “主我的王啊，这些人向先知耶利米一味地行恶，将他下在牢狱中；他在那里必因饥饿而死，因为城中再没有粮食。”

†[吕]“我主我王阿，这些人待神言人耶利米的尽是坏事：将他扔在井里，他是会当场饿死的；因为城里再也没有粮食了。”

†[思]“我主君王！这些人对先知耶肋米亚作的事，实在毒辣；他们竟将他丢在蓄水池，在那他必要饿死，因为城中没有粮食了！”

†[当代]“王，我的主啊！这些人向先知耶利米所作的，实在是太凶狠了。他们把他困在池中，他必因饥饿死在那里，因为城中再没有粮食了。”

†[新译]“我主我王啊！这些人对耶利米先知所作的一切真是恶毒，他们把他丢在井里；在那地方他必饿死，因为城里再没有粮食了。”

†[Wlb]我主我王欤、彼众于先知耶利米、所行皆恶、下之于井、邑中乏粮、恐其因饥而死焉、

†[Xdv]“陛下，这些人这样待先知杰里迈亚很可恶。他们把他坠入井里，他一定会饿死在那里，因为城里已经绝粮了。”

†[Kjv]My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.

†[Nkjv]"My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon, and he is likely to die from hunger in the place where he is. For there is no more bread in the city."

†[BBE]My lord the king, these men have done evil in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have put into the water-hole; and he will come to his death in the place where he is through need of food: for there is no more bread in the town.

†[GNT] "Your Majesty, what these men have done is wrong. They have put Jeremiah in the well, where he is sure to die of starvation, since there is no more food in the city."

†[NIV]My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have thrown him into a cistern, where he will starve to death when there is no longer any bread in the city."

本会注释　　这些人……行恶。七十士译本为“你行恶”，把责任推在国王本人身上。
　　没有粮食。耶路撒冷的围攻即将到达到最后绝望的阶段。

耶38:10 王就吩咐古实人以伯米勒说：“你从这里带领三十人，趁着先知耶利米未死以前，将他从牢狱中提上来。”

†[吕]王就吩咐古实人以伯米勒说：“你就此随手带着三（传统：三十）个人、将神言人耶利米、趁他未死以前、从井里拉上来。”

†[思]王便命雇士人厄贝得默肋客说：“你立即带叁个人去，将耶肋米亚先知，趁他还没有死，从蓄水池拉出来！”

†[当代]于是，王吩咐古实人以伯米勒说：“你率领三十人，趁先知耶利米未死之前，把他从储水池中营救出来吧。”

†[新译]于是王吩咐古实人以伯米勒说：“你从这里带三十个人，在耶利米先知未死以前，把他从井里拉上来。”

†[Wlb]王命古实人以伯米勒曰、尔自此率三十人往、在先知耶利米未死之先、出之于井、

†[Xdv]于是王命令以伯米勒带三个人（希伯来文作：三十个人）来，在我没死以前把我救出来。

†[Kjv]Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.

†[Nkjv]Then the king commanded Ebed- Melech the Ethiopian, saying, "Take from here thirty men with you, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he dies."

†[BBE]Then the king gave orders to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take with you three men from here and get Jeremiah out of the water-hole before death overtakes him.

†[GNT] Then the king ordered Ebedmelech to take with him three men and to pull me out of the well before I died.

†[NIV]Then the king commanded Ebed-Melech the Cushite, "Take thirty men from here with you and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies."

本会注释　　三十人。派这么多人去可能是为了应付首领们对于释放先知的抵制。一份希伯来语文稿为三人，不是三十人。
　　西底家作出决定表面上很果断，但不久就撤销了，这证明了他性格上的最大弱点。摇摆不定是国王的祸根。详见@耶37:2@注释。

耶38:11 于是以伯米勒带领这些人同去，进入王宫，到库房以下，从那里取了些碎布和破烂的衣服，用绳子缒下牢狱去到耶利米那里。 (串)本章6

†[吕]于是以伯米勒随手带了人，进入王宫，到库房以下，从那里取了些破布烂衣，用绳子缒下井里到耶利米那里。

†[思]厄贝得默肋客立即带了一些人，回到王宫，从储藏室拿了些破旧衣裳和破旧布片，用绳索给在蓄水池的耶肋米亚放下去。

†[当代]于是，以伯米勒带著他的手下进入王宫，在储物室拿了些碎布和破衣，然后用绳索把这些缒下池底，直到耶利米那里。

†[新译]以伯米勒就带人进王宫去，到储物室下面的一个房间，从那里取了些破布烂衣，用绳子缒下井里给耶利米。

†[Wlb]以伯米勒遂率其人而往、入王宫、至库下、取敝布及旧衣、以绳缒之于井、至耶利米所、

†[Xdv]以伯米勒就带这些人到宫廷的仓库去找些破布烂衣，用绳子坠入井里，

†[Kjv]So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

†[Nkjv]So Ebed-Melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there old clothes and old rags, and let them down by ropes into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

†[BBE]So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king, to the place where the clothing was kept, and got from there old clothing and bits of old cloth, and let them down by cords into the water-hole where Jeremiah was.

†[GNT] So Ebedmelech went with the men to the palace storeroom and got some worn-out clothing which he let down to me by ropes.

†[NIV]So Ebed-Melech took the men with him and went to a room under the treasury in the palace. He took some old rags and worn-out clothes from there and let them down with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.

本会注释　　库房。或“仓库”。
　　碎布。说明以伯米勒考虑周到，在这件事情上闪现出他思想的光芒。单用绳索就足以救耶利米上来，但以伯米勒还提供了碎布，使绳索不致勒入老先知的皮肉。
　　绳子。即绳索。

耶38:12 古实人以伯米勒对耶利米说：“你用这些碎布和破烂的衣服放在绳子上，垫你的胳肢窝。”耶利米就照样行了。

†[吕]古实人以伯米勒对耶利米说：“你把这破布烂衣放在绳子上去垫胳肢窝。”耶利米就这样作。

†[思]雇士人厄贝得默肋客对耶肋米亚说：“请把破旧的衣服和布片，放在你两腋下，然后把绳放在下面。”耶肋米亚就这样做了。

†[当代]古实人以伯米勒便对耶利米说：“你把这些碎布和破衣垫在绳索上，挟在腋下。”耶利米依法照做，

†[新译]古实人以伯米勒对耶利米说：“把这些破布烂衣垫在你的腋下，然后束上绳子。”耶利米就这样作了。

†[Wlb]古实人以伯米勒谓耶利米曰、以此敝布旧衣、置尔腋下、系之以绳、耶利米依此而行、

†[Xdv]叫我把这些破布烂衣放在腋下，免得绳子擦伤了我；我照他说的做了，

†[Kjv]And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

†[Nkjv]Then Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Please put these old clothes and rags under your armpits, under the ropes." And Jeremiah did so.

†[BBE]And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put these bits of old cloth under your arms under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

†[GNT] He told me to put the rags under my arms, so that the ropes wouldn't hurt me. I did this,

†[NIV]Ebed-Melech the Cushite said to Jeremiah, "Put these old rags and worn-out clothes under your arms to pad the ropes." Jeremiah did so,

本会注释　　垫你的胳肢窝。见第11节注释。

耶38:13 这样，他们用绳子将耶利米从牢狱里拉上来。耶利米仍在护卫兵的院中。 (串)本章6|耶37:21

†[吕]他们便这样用绳子拉耶利米，从井里给拖拉上来。耶利米仍在护卫监的院子里呆着。

†[思]于是他们用绳索将耶肋米亚从蓄水池拉上来；这样，耶肋米亚仍能住在拘留所的庭院。

†[当代]他们便把耶利米从池中拉上来。但耶利米仍然被拘留在护卫兵的庭院内。

†[新译]于是他们用绳子把耶利米从井里拉出来；这样，耶利米可以住在卫兵的院子里。

†[Wlb]众以绳曳之出井、耶利米则居于护军之院、

†[Xdv]他们从井里把我拉出来。这以后，他们仍然把我关在监狱里。

†[Kjv]So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

†[Nkjv]So they pulled Jeremiah up with ropes and lifted him out of the dungeon. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

†[BBE]So pulling Jeremiah up with the cords they got him out of the water-hole: and Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

†[GNT] and they pulled me up out of the well. After that I was kept in the courtyard.

†[NIV]and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.

本会注释　　再次证明西底家的优柔寡断。他让耶利米从泥泞的地牢中出来，又不敢完全释放他。

耶38:14 西底家王打发人带领先知耶利米，进耶和华殿中第三门里见王。王就对耶利米说：“我要问你一件事，你丝毫不可向我隐瞒。” (串)耶37:17

†[吕]西底家王打发了人去带神言人耶利米到第三出入处、就是在永恒主的殿、去见王。王对耶利米说：“我要问你一件事；你一句都不可向我隐瞒。”

†[当代]西底家王派人把先知耶利米带到圣殿的第三个门里，与他会面。王对耶利米说：“我要问你一件事，你不可向我隐瞒。”

†[新译]后来，西底家王派人去把耶利米先知带到耶和华殿中的第三道门那里去见他。王对耶利米说：“我要问你一件事，你什么都不可以向我隐瞒。”

†[Wlb]西底家王遣人携先知耶利米、入耶和华室第三门觐王、王语之曰、我问尔一事、尔毋隐于我、

†[Xdv]后来，西底家王叫人提我到圣殿的第三道进口处见他。他对我说：“我问你一个问题；我要你老老实实回答。”

本会注释　　进耶和华殿中第三门里。这个秘密会见地点无法确定。
　　我要问你一件事。显然国王既不愿尊重先知的劝告，也不想完全不听他的话（见耶37:17）。

耶38:15 耶利米对西底家说：“我若告诉你，你岂不定要杀我吗？我若劝戒你，你必不听从我。”

†[吕]耶利米对西底家说：“我若告诉你，你岂不杀死我么？我若向你出主意，你必不听我。”

†[思]耶肋米亚答覆漆德克雅说：“我若禀告你，你岂不要将我处死吗？我若给你出主意，你也不会听从我！”

†[当代]耶利米对西底家说：“我若从实禀告，难道你就不把我处死吗？我就是给你提供意见，你也不会接受的。”

†[新译]耶利米对西底家说：“我若告诉你，你不是要杀死我吗？我若向你建议，你必不听从我。”

†[Wlb]耶利米对曰、我若告尔、尔岂不杀我乎、我若劝尔、尔必不听、

†[Xdv]我说：“如果我说实话，你一定杀我；如果我提出建议，你也不听。”

†[Kjv]Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?

†[Nkjv]Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you advice, you will not listen to me."

†[BBE]Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I give you the answer to your question, will you not certainly put me to death? and if I make a suggestion to you, you will not give it a hearing.

†[GNT] I answered, "If I tell you the truth, you will put me to death, and if I give you advice, you won't pay any attention."

†[NIV]Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I give you an answer, will you not kill me? Even if I did give you counsel, you would not listen to me."

本会注释　　要杀我吗。耶利米显然认为国王是支持那些虐待他的犹大首领。
　　你必不听从我。KJV版为问句形式。本句表达了强烈的否定意义（见@太5:18@注释）。

耶38:16 西底家王就私下向耶利米说：“我指着那造我们生命之永生的耶和华起誓：我必不杀你，也不将你交在寻索你命的人手中。” (串)赛57:16

†[吕]西底家就私下向耶利米起誓说：“那造我们性命的永恒主是活的：我指着他来起誓；我一定不杀死你，也不将你交在这些寻索你性命的人手中。”

†[思]漆德克雅王对耶肋米亚暗地发誓说：“那赐与我们这生命的上主永在，我决不将你处死，也决不将你交在这些图谋你性命者的手中。”

†[当代]但西底家王暗暗向耶利米发誓说：“我指著那赐给我们生命的主起誓，我必不杀你，也必不把你交在寻索你性命的人手中。”

†[新译]于是西底家王私下向耶利米起誓，说：“我指着那创造我们生命的永活的耶和华起誓：我决不杀死你，也不把你交在这些寻索你性命的人的手里。”

†[Wlb]西底家王私与耶利米誓曰、我指肇造我魂、维生之耶和华而誓、必不杀尔、亦不付尔于索尔命者之手、

†[Xdv]于是西底家私下对我发誓：“我指永生上主──创造我们生命的上帝发誓，我决不杀你，不把你交给想杀害你的人。”

†[Kjv]So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

†[Nkjv]So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, "As the LORD lives, who made our very souls, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life."

†[BBE]So King Zedekiah gave his oath to Jeremiah secretly, saying, By the living Lord, who gave us our life, I will not put you to death, or give you up to these men who are desiring to take your life.

†[GNT] So King Zedekiah promised me in secret, "I swear by the living God, the God who gave us life, that I will not put you to death or hand you over to the men who want to kill you."

†[NIV]But King Zedekiah swore this oath secretly to Jeremiah: "As surely as the Lord lives, who has given us breath, I will neither kill you nor hand you over to those who are seeking your life."

本会注释　　那造我们生命。西底家用这样的誓言来消除先知对他诚意的怀疑。

耶38:17 耶利米对西底家说：“耶和华万军之上帝、以色列的上帝如此说：你若出去归降巴比伦王的首领，你的命就必存活，这城也不至被火焚烧，你和你的全家都必存活。 (串)王下24:12|耶39:3

†[吕]耶利米对西底家说：“永恒主万军之上帝以色列之上帝这么说：你若毅然出去归降巴比伦王的首领，你的命就得以活着，这城也不至于被火焚烧，你和你的家就得以活着。

†[思]于是耶肋米亚对漆德克雅说：“万军的天主，以色列的天主上主这样说：如果你出去，向巴比伦王的将帅投降，你的性命必可保全，这城不至于被焚；你和你全家也必生存。

†[Kjv]Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:

†[Nkjv]Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "Thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: "If you surely surrender to the king of Babylon's princes, then your soul shall live; this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live.

†[GNT] Then I told Zedekiah that the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, had said, "If you surrender to the king of Babylonia's officers, your life will be spared, and this city will not be burned down. Both you and your family will be spared.

本会注释　　似乎已有不少犹太人投降了迦勒底人。他们要么是听从了耶利米的信息，要么是出于恐惧，为了保命。

本会注释　　所剩的妇女。先王的妻妾和西底家自己的妻妾，都会被“巴比伦王的首领”掳走。
　　你知己的朋友。直译是“说你有平安的人”，就是那些骗国王说形势定会好转的人。妇女的话中提到耶利米曾陷身的“淤泥”（第6节），意味深长。

本会注释　　他就照王所吩咐的。耶利米答应了国王的要求（见第26节注释），“照王所吩咐的”回答首领们。耶利米偏留了不属于首领们的信息，这并没有错，就像先知撒母耳奉上帝的指示所采取的相似做法那样（见@撒上16:2@注释）。
　　没有泄漏。国王和先知之间的交谈显然没有泄露。这件事就此结束。
