耶利米书 20
1 祭司音麦的儿子巴施户珥作耶和华殿的总管，听见耶利米预言这些事，
Now Phassur the son of Emmur, the priest, who was appointed chief in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.
2 他就打先知耶利米，用耶和华殿里便雅悯高门内的枷，将他枷在那里。
And Phassur struck Jeremias the prophet, and put him in the stocks, that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, in the house of the Lord.
3 次日，巴施户珥将耶利米开枷释放。于是耶利米对他说：“耶和华不是叫你的名为巴施户珥，乃是叫你玛歌珥·米撒毕，
And when it was light the next day, Phassur brought Jeremias out of the stocks. And Jeremias said to him: The Lord hath not called thy name Phassur, but fear on every side.
4 因耶和华如此说：‘我必使你自觉惊吓，你也必使众朋友惊吓；他们必倒在仇敌的刀下，你也必亲眼看见；我必将犹大人全交在巴比伦王的手中，他要将他们掳到巴比伦去，也要用刀将他们杀戮。
For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver thee up to fear, thee and all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thy eyes shall see it, and I will give all Juda into the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall strike them with the sword.
5 并且我要将这城中的一切货财和劳碌得来的，并一切珍宝，以及犹大君王所有的宝物，都交在他们仇敌的手中；仇敌要当作掠物带到巴比伦去。
And I will give all the substance of this city, and all its labour, and every precious thing thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Juda will I give into the hands of their enemies: and they shall pillage them, and take them away, and carry them to Babylon.
6 你这巴施户珥和一切住在你家中的人都必被掳去；你和你的众朋友，就是你向他们说假预言的，都必到巴比伦去，要死在那里，葬在那里。’”
But thou, Phassur, and all that dwell in thy house, shall go into captivity, and thou shalt go to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied a lie.
7 耶和华啊，你曾劝导我， 我也听了你的劝导。 你比我有力量，且胜了我。 我终日成为笑话， 人人都戏弄我。
Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all scoff at me.
8 我每逢讲论的时候，就发出哀声， 我喊叫说：有强暴和毁灭！ 因为耶和华的话终日成了我的凌辱、讥刺。
For I am speaking now this long time, crying out against iniquity, and I often proclaim devastation: and the word of the Lord is made a reproach to me, and a derision all the day.
9 我若说：我不再提耶和华， 也不再奉他的名讲论， 我便心里觉得 似乎有烧着的火闭塞在我骨中， 我就含忍不住，不能自禁。
Then I said: I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: and there came in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was wearied, not being able to bear it.
10 我听见了许多人的谗谤， 四围都是惊吓； 就是我知己的朋友也都窥探我， 愿我跌倒，说： 告他吧，我们也要告他！ 或者他被引诱， 我们就能胜他， 在他身上报仇。
For I heard the reproaches of many, and terror on every side: Persecute him, and let us persecute him: from all the men that were my familiars, and continued at my side: if by any means he may be deceived, and we may prevail against him, and be revenged on him.
11 然而，耶和华与我同在， 好像甚可怕的勇士。 因此，逼迫我的必都绊跌， 不能得胜； 他们必大大蒙羞， 就是受永不忘记的羞辱， 因为他们行事没有智慧。
But the Lord is with me as a strong warrior: therefore they that persecute me shall fall, and shall be weak: they shall be greatly confounded, because they have not understood the everlasting reproach, which never shall be effaced.
12 试验义人、察看人肺腑心肠的万军之耶和华啊， 求你容我见你在他们身上报仇， 因我将我的案件向你禀明了。
And thou, O Lord of hosts, prover of the just, who seest the reins and the heart: let me see, I beseech thee, thy vengeance on them: for to thee I have laid open my cause.
13 你们要向耶和华唱歌； 赞美耶和华！ 因他救了穷人的性命脱离恶人的手。
Sing ye to the Lord, praise the Lord: because he hath delivered the soul of the poor out of the hand of the wicked.
14 愿我生的那日受咒诅； 愿我母亲产我的那日不蒙福！
Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: let not the day in which my mother bore me, be blessed.
15 给我父亲报信说“你得了儿子”， 使我父亲甚欢喜的， 愿那人受咒诅。
Cursed be the man that brought the tidings to my father, saying: A man child is born to thee: and made him greatly rejoice.
16 愿那人像耶和华所倾覆而不后悔的城邑； 愿他早晨听见哀声， 晌午听见呐喊；
Let that man be as the cities that the Lord hath overthrown, and hath not repented: let him hear a cry in the morning, and howling at noontide:
17 因他在我未出胎的时候不杀我， 使我母亲成了我的坟墓， 胎就时常重大。
Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.
18 我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦， 使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢？
Why came I out of the womb, to see labour and sorrow, and that my days should be spent in confusion?
