| 1上主傳給耶肋米亞的話：那時，漆德克雅王正派瑪耳基雅的兒子帕市胡爾，和司祭瑪阿色雅的兒子責法尼雅來見他說： | 1These words of Yahweh came to Jeremiah when king Zedekiah sent Pashur, son of Malchiah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, to say to him: |
| 2請你替我們詣詢問上主：「巴比倫王拿步高既來與我們作戰，上主是否依照他所行的奇事來協助我們，叫他離我們遠去？」 | 2"Consult Yahweh on our behalf, for Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has started a war with us. Perhaps Yahweh will work a few of his miracles and make the enemy withdraw." |
| 3耶肋米亞便回答他們說：「你們應這樣對漆德克雅說： | 3Jeremiah replied, "This is what Yahweh the God of Israel says to Zedekiah: |
| 4上主，以色列的天主這樣說：看，我必使你們手中所持，用以攻擊在城外圍攻你們的巴比倫王和加色丁人的武器，反回集中在這城的中心。 | 4I am about to bring back to you the weapons with which you are fighting outside the wall the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you; and I will pile up these weapons in the center of the city. |
| 5然後我要伸出手來，以強力的手臂、震怒、狂暴和憤恨痛擊你們， | 5Then I myself will fight against you with outstretched hand and mighty arm, with anger and fury and great wrath, |
| 6痛擊住在這裏的人和獸；他們必死於盛行的瘟疫。 | 6I will strike all in the city, both humans and animals, and they will perish in a terrible plague. |
| 7此後──上主的斷語──我必將猶大王漆德克雅和他的臣僕，並這城中幸免於瘟疫、刀劍和饑饉的人民，交在巴比倫王拿步高和他們的仇敵，以及謀圖他們性命者的手中，叫敵人用利刃擊殺他們，毫不饒恕，毫不憐憫，毫不表同情。 | 7After this - it is Yahweh who speaks - I will hand over Zedekiah, king of Judah, his servants and the citizens who survive the plague, the sword and famine over to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. I will hand them over to their enemies, to those who have been hounding their blood. They shall be slain without mercy or compassion." |
| 8此外，你應對這人民說：上主這樣說：看，我將生命的路和死亡的路，擺在你們面前： | 8Then Yahweh instructed me to say this to the people: "Take heed! I, Yahweh, am presenting you a choice between the way that leads to life and the way that leads to death. |
| 9凡留在這城中的，必死於刀劍、饑饉和瘟疫；凡出來向圍攻你們的加色丁人投降的，必保全性命，必有生命當作自己的勝利品。 | 9Those who remain in the confines of the city will meet their deaths by the sword, famine or plague; those who go out and surrender to the Chaldeans besieging the city will live and will be the only ones to be saved. |
| 10我所以轉面向着這城，是為降災，並不是為賜福──上主的斷語──這城必被交在巴比倫王手中，他要火燒這城。」 | 10For I am turning to this city for its ruin, not for its good - word of Yahweh - it will be given over to the king of Babylon who will destroy it by fire." |
| 11對於猶大的王室，你應該這樣說：你們該聆聽上主的話， | 11You will give this message to the King's officials. To the royal family of Judah say this: |
| 12達味家族！上主這樣說：「你們應及早執行正義，從壓迫者手中解救被剝奪的人，免得我的忿怒，因你們行事邪惡，像火一般燒起，而沒有人能夠熄滅。」 | 12Officials of David's palace, hear the word of Yahweh: Give judgment each morning and deliver the oppressed from the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury break loose like a fire with no one to quench it." |
| 13至於你這居住在谷中和平原巖石上的人，看，我來對付你──上主的斷語──你們誇說：「誰能下來攻擊我們？誰能進入我們的巢穴？」 | 13This is Yahweh's word, "See, I am coming to you who live in the hills overlooking the valley, you who say, 'Who will come against us and enter this secure place?' |
| 14我必按照你們行為應得的，來懲罰你們──上主的斷語──我要在她的樹林裏放火，吞滅她四周的一切。 | 14I will punish you according to your deeds, and in your forests I will kindle a fire that will devour all that surrounds it." |
