< 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 Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who [was] also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
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。
Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that [were] in the high gate of Benjamin, which [was] by 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
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 make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold [it: ] and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay 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。
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, 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。’”
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
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。
O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh 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 since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
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. But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].
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 defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, [say they], and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, [saying], Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge 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 mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
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。
But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, [and] seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened 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 unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
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 born: let not the day wherein my mother bare 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 who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
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;
And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting 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。
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb [to be] always great [with me].
18 我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦, 使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢?
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
