耶利米書 43
1 耶肋米亞向全體人民說完上主他們的天主的一切話，即上主他們的天主派遣他來向他們轉告的這一切話以後，
When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything that the LORD had sent him to say—
2 瑪阿色雅的兒子阿匝黎雅和卡勒亞的兒子約哈南，以及一切傲慢反叛的人，就肋米亞說：「你說謊；上主我們的天主並沒有派你說：你們不要去寄居埃及；
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’
3 只是乃黎雅的兒子巴路克挑唆你反對我們，好將我交在加色丁人手中，或殺或擄到巴比倫去。」
Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”
4 卡勒亞的兒子約哈南和眾部隊首領以及全體人民，沒有聽從上主的勸告，住在猶大地內。
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.
5 卡勒亞的兒子約哈南和眾部隊首領，反而率領全體猶大遣民，即那些四到各民族間，又回來住在猶大境內的人：
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the whole remnant of Judah, those who had returned to the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been scattered,
6 男子和婦女，幼童和王家閨秀，以及衛隊長乃步匝辣當給沙番的孫子，阿希甘的兒子留下的人，連同先知耶肋米亞和乃黎雅的兒子巴路克，
the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.
7 到埃及地去了；沒有聽從上主的勸告，而來到塔黑培乃斯。
So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 在塔黑培乃斯上主有話傳給耶肋米亞說：「
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 你用手拿一些大石頭，當著猶大人眼前，藏在塔黑培乃斯法郎王宮前石鋪地道下面，
“In the sight of the Jews, pick up some large stones and bury them in the clay of the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace at Tahpanhes.
10 然後對他們說：萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：看，我必派人去領我的僕人巴比倫王拿步高來，在你藏的這些石頭上安置他的寶座，張設他的華蓋。
Then tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have embedded, and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 他必來攻打埃及地，叫那該死的死，該擄的擄，該殺的殺；
He will come and strike down the land of Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword.
12 必來放火焚燒埃及的神廟，燒毀或擄走廟內的神像；必來收取埃及地，如同牧人收取自己的外衣；最後安然離去。
I will kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar will burn those temples and take their gods as captives. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself in his garment, and he will depart from there unscathed.
13 此外他還要粉碎埃及地太陽神廟的石柱，放火焚燒埃及的神廟。」
He will demolish the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in the land of Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
