犹大王西底家登基的时候,耶和华论以拦的话临到先知耶利米说,
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
到末后,我还要使被掳的以拦人归回。这是耶和华说的。
But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
犹大是个小狮子。我儿阿,你抓了食便上去。你屈下身去,卧如公狮,蹲如母狮,谁敢惹你。
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
圭必不离犹大,杖必不离他两脚之间,直等细罗(就是赐平安者)来到,万民都必归顺。
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
亚设之地必出肥美的粮食,且出君王的美味。
Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
约瑟是多结果子的树枝,是泉旁多结果的枝子。他的枝条探出墙外。
Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
他又嘱咐他们说,我将要归到我列祖(原文作本民)那里,你们要将我葬在赫人以弗仑田间的洞里,与我祖我父在一处,
And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
就是在迦南地幔利前,麦比拉田间的洞。那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买来为业,作坟地的。
In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
那块田和田间的洞原是向赫人买的。
The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
无论上流下流,富足贫穷,都当留心听。
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
