< 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。
And it cometh to pass, when Jeremiah doth finish to speak unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, with which Jehovah their God hath sent him unto them — all these words —
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。’
that Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, speak unto Jeremiah, saying, 'Falsehood thou art speaking; Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Do not enter Egypt to sojourn there;
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。”
for Baruch son of Neriah is moving thee against us, in order to give us up into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, and to remove 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。
And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, and all the people, have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, to dwell 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,
and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, take all the remnant of Judah who have turned from all the nations whither they were driven to sojourn in the land of Judah,
the men, and the women, and the infant, and the daughters of the king, and every person that Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah,
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。
and they enter the land of Egypt, for they have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and they enter unto Tahpanhes.
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
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,
'Take in thy hand great stones, and thou hast hidden them, in the clay, in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah,
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。
and thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: 'Lo, I am sending, and I have taken Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his throne above these stones that I have hid, and he hath stretched out his pavilion 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。
and he hath come, and smitten the land of Egypt — those who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to 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。
And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and it hath burned them, and he hath taken them captive, and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as cover himself doth the shepherd with his garment, and he hath gone forth thence in peace;
13 他必打碎埃及地伯·示麦的柱像,用火焚烧埃及神的庙宇。’”
and he hath broken the standing pillars of the house of the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and the houses of the gods of Egypt he doth burn with fire.'
