耶利米书 43
1 耶利米向众百姓说完了耶和华—他们 神的一切话，就是耶和华—他们 神差遣他去所说的一切话。
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
2 何沙雅的儿子亚撒利雅和加利亚的儿子约哈难，并一切狂傲的人，就对耶利米说：“你说谎言！耶和华—我们的 神并没有差遣你来说：‘你们不可进入埃及，在那里寄居。’
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
3 这是尼利亚的儿子巴录挑唆你害我们，要将我们交在迦勒底人的手中，使我们有被杀的，有被掳到巴比伦去的。”
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
4 于是加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长，并众百姓，不听从耶和华的话住在犹大地。
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah.
5 加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长却将所剩下的犹大人，就是从被赶到各国回来在犹大地寄居的男人、妇女、孩童，和众公主，并护卫长尼布撒拉旦所留在沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利那里的众人，与先知耶利米，以及尼利亚的儿子巴录，
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
7 都带入埃及地，到了答比匿。这是因他们不听从耶和华的话。
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
8 在答比匿，耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 “你在犹大人眼前要用手拿几块大石头，藏在砌砖的灰泥中，就是在答比匿法老的宫门那里，
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
10 对他们说：‘万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我必召我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来。在所藏的石头上我要安置他的宝座；他必将光华的宝帐支搭在其上。
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
11 他要来攻击埃及地，定为死亡的，必致死亡；定为掳掠的，必被掳掠；定为刀杀的，必交刀杀。
He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
12 我要在埃及神的庙中使火着起，巴比伦王要将庙宇焚烧，神像掳去；他要得埃及地，好像牧人披上外衣，从那里安然而去。
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
13 他必打碎埃及地伯·示麦的柱像，用火焚烧埃及神的庙宇。’”
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
