Jer 34:1-22.
简体中文
英文原文
Jer 34:1-22.
CAPTIVITY OF ZEDEKIAH AND THE PEOPLE FORETOLD FOR THEIR DISOBEDIENCE AND PERFIDY.
The prophecy
(Jer 34:1-7)
as to Zedekiah is an amplification of that in
Jer 32:1-5,
in consequence of which Jeremiah was then shut up in the court of the prison. The prophecy
(Jer 34:8-22)
refers to the Jews, who, afraid of the capture of the city, had, in obedience to the law, granted freedom to their servants at the end of seven years, but on the intermission of the siege forced them back into bondage.
1. Jerusalem and . . . all the cities thereof--(see on
Jer 19:15).
It was amazing blindness in the king, that, in such a desperate position, he should reject admonition.

5. 你列祖的焚葬——你的葬礼要像你列祖的葬礼那样，以焚烧香料为尊荣

哀哉，我主啊！——希伯来人在他们的年表（《Seder Olam》）中提到为他所作的哀号："哀哉！西底家王死了，喝着历代的渣滓（即为前代的罪受罚）。
英文原文
5. the burnings of thy fathers--Thy funeral shall be honored with the same burning of aromatic spices as there was at the funerals of thy fathers
(2Ch 16:14; 21:19).
The honors here mentioned were denied to Jehoiakim
(Jer 22:18).
Ah, lord!--The Hebrews in their chronology (Seder Olam) mention the wailing used over him, "Alas! King Zedekiah is dead, drinking the dregs (that is, paying the penalty for the sins) of former ages."

13. 西底家末年是安息年。报应何等公义：那些违背神的律法和自己的约、奴役同胞的人，竟要自己被定为奴；而那些奴仆竟从仇敌手中得享安息年的自由
(Jer 52:16)，
这自由却是本国同胞所不肯给他们的！
英文原文
13. The last year of Zedekiah was the sabbatical year. How just the retribution, that they who, against God's law and their own covenant, enslaved their brethren, should be doomed to bondage themselves: and that the bond-servants should enjoy the sabbatical freedom at the hands of the foe
(Jer 52:16)
which their own countrymen denied them!

17. not . . . proclaiming liberty（没有……宣告自由）——犹太人虽表面释放了他们的仆婢，但他们实际上并没有这样做，因为他们收回了自己所给的自由。神不看外貌，只看内心的诚实。
I proclaim a liberty（我宣告自由）——与罪行相称的报应
(Mt 7:2; 18:32, 33; Ga 6:7; Jas 2:13)。
犹太人不肯释放他们的弟兄，自己必受"自由"之灾。神要将他们从他喜乐而安稳的服侍中释放
(Ps 121:3)，
那才是真正的"自由"

却转而在可怕的奴役下服侍别的主人，就是"刀剑"等。

17. not . . . proclaiming liberty--Though the Jews had ostensibly emancipated their bond-servants, they virtually did not do so by revoking the liberty which they had granted. God looks not to outward appearances, but to the sincere intention.
I proclaim a liberty--retribution answering to the offense
(Mt 7:2; 18:32, 33; Ga 6:7; Jas 2:13).
The Jews who would not give liberty to their brethren shall themselves receive "a liberty" calamitous to them. God will manumit them from His happy and safe service
(Ps 121:3),
which is real "liberty"
(Ps 119:45; Joh 8:36; 2Co 3:17),
only to pass under the terrible bondage of other taskmasters, the "sword," &c.
to be removed--The Hebrew expresses agitation (see on
Jer 15:4).
Compare
De 28:25, 48, 64, 65,

18. passed between the parts thereof（从牛犊劈开的两半中经过）——"约"（此处不是泛指的律法，而是他们在神的殿中在神面前所立的释放仆婢之约，
Jer 34:8, 9）的双方从劈成两半的牲畜之间经过，表示他们求神在他们违约时也将他们如此劈开
(Mt 24:51；
希腊文，"劈为两半")
(Ge 15:10, 17)。
英文原文
18. passed between the parts thereof--The contracting parties in the "covenant" (not here the law in general, but their covenant made before God in His house to emancipate their slaves,
Jer 34:8, 9)
passed through the parts of the animal cut in two, implying that they prayed so to be cut in sunder
(Mt 24:51;
Greek, "cut in two") if they should break the covenant
(Ge 15:10, 17).

"I will give," &c.
seek their life--implacably: satisfied with nothing short of their blood; not content with booty.

21. gone up（上去了）——即撤围去迎击法老合弗拉
(Jer 37:7-10)。
迦勒底人的撤退，相当于释放了犹太人；但既然他们撤回了对仆婢的释放，神也撤回了他将他们从迦勒底人手中释放的成命。
英文原文
21. gone up--that is, raised the siege in order to meet Pharaoh-hophra
(Jer 37:7-10).
The departure of the Chaldeans was a kind of manumission of the Jews; but as their manumission of their bond-servants was recalled, so God revoked His manumission of them from the Chaldeans.

耶 34:1-22。
因西底家和百姓的不顺服与背信，预言他们必被掳。
(耶 34:1-7)
关于西底家的预言，是对
耶 32:1-5
中预言的扩充；耶利米因此被囚在护卫兵的院内。
(耶 34:8-22)
的预言则论到犹太人：他们因怕城被攻取，按律法在第七年之末释放了仆婢得自由，但围攻一暂停，便又强迫他们重回为奴。
1. 耶路撒冷和……一切的城——（参见
耶 19:15 的注释。）
王在如此绝境中竟拒绝劝诫，其盲目令人震惊。
