耶利米书 46
1 耶和华论列国的话临到先知耶利米。
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2 论到关乎埃及王法老尼哥的军队：这军队安营在幼发拉底河边的迦基米施，是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年所打败的。
Of Egypt, concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
3 你们要预备大小盾牌， 往前上阵。
Prepare ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 你们套上车， 骑上马！ 顶盔站立， 磨枪贯甲！
Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets. Furbish the spears. Put on the coats of mail.
5 我为何看见他们惊惶转身退后呢？ 他们的勇士打败了， 急忙逃跑，并不回头； 惊吓四围都有！ 这是耶和华说的。
Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and have turned backward. And their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and do not look back. Terror is on every side, says Jehovah.
6 不要容快跑的逃避； 不要容勇士逃脱； 他们在北方幼发拉底河边绊跌仆倒。
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
7 像尼罗河涨发， 像江河之水翻腾的是谁呢？
Who is this that rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?
8 埃及像尼罗河涨发， 像江河的水翻腾。 他说：我要涨发遮盖遍地； 我要毁灭城邑和其中的居民。
Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers. And he says, I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and the inhabitants thereof.
9 马匹上去吧！ 车辆急行吧！ 勇士，就是手拿盾牌的古实人和弗人， 并拉弓的路德族，都出去吧！
Go up, ye horses, and rage, ye chariots. And let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield, and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
10 那日是主—万军之耶和华报仇的日子， 要向敌人报仇。 刀剑必吞吃得饱， 饮血饮足； 因为主—万军之耶和华 在北方幼发拉底河边有献祭的事。
For that day is a day of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries. And the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood, for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 埃及的民哪， 可以上基列取乳香去； 你虽多服良药， 总是徒然，不得治好。
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt. In vain do thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee.
12 列国听见你的羞辱， 遍地满了你的哀声； 勇士与勇士彼此相碰， 一齐跌倒。
The nations have heard of thy shame, and the earth is full of thy cry. For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty; they are fallen, both of them together.
13 耶和华对先知耶利米所说的话，论到巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒要来攻击埃及地：
The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
14 你们要传扬在埃及，宣告在密夺， 报告在挪弗、答比匿说： 要站起出队，自作准备， 因为刀剑在你四围施行吞灭的事。
Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes. Say ye, Stand forth, and prepare thee, for the sword has devoured round about thee.
15 你的壮士为何被冲去呢？ 他们站立不住； 因为耶和华驱逐他们，
Why are thy strong ones swept away? They stood not, because Jehovah drove them.
16 使多人绊跌； 他们也彼此撞倒，说： 起来吧！我们再往本民本地去， 好躲避欺压的刀剑。
He made many to stumble, yea, they fell one upon another. And they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 他们在那里喊叫说： 埃及王法老不过是个声音； 他已错过所定的时候了。
They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by.
18 君王—名为万军之耶和华的说： 我指着我的永生起誓： 尼布甲尼撒来的势派 必像他泊在众山之中， 像迦密在海边一样。
As I live, says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 住在埃及的民哪， 要预备掳去时所用的物件； 因为挪弗必成为荒场， 且被烧毁，无人居住。
O thou daughter who dwells in Egypt, prepare thyself to go into captivity. For Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
20 埃及是肥美的母牛犊； 但出于北方的毁灭来到了！来到了！
Egypt is a very fair heifer, but destruction out of the north has come, it has come.
21 其中的雇勇好像圈里的肥牛犊， 他们转身退后， 一齐逃跑，站立不住； 因为他们遭难的日子、 追讨的时候已经临到。
Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They did not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their visitation.
22 其中的声音好像蛇行一样。 敌人要成队而来，如砍伐树木的手拿斧子攻击他。
The sound thereof shall go like the serpent, for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 耶和华说： 埃及的树林虽然不能寻察， 敌人却要砍伐， 因他们多于蝗虫，不可胜数。
They shall cut down her forest, says Jehovah, though it cannot be searched because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 埃及的民必然蒙羞， 必交在北方人的手中。
The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame. She shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 万军之耶和华—以色列的 神说：“我必刑罚挪的亚扪和法老，并埃及与埃及的神，以及君王，也必刑罚法老和倚靠他的人。
Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, says, Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
26 我要将他们交付寻索其命之人的手和巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒与他臣仆的手；以后埃及必再有人居住，与从前一样。这是耶和华说的。”
And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. And afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says Jehovah.
27 我的仆人雅各啊，不要惧怕！ 以色列啊，不要惊惶！ 因我要从远方拯救你， 从被掳到之地拯救你的后裔。 雅各必回来，得享平靖安逸， 无人使他害怕。
But fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, nor be dismayed, O Israel. For, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 我的仆人雅各啊，不要惧怕！ 因我与你同在。 我要将我所赶你到的那些国灭绝净尽， 却不将你灭绝净尽， 倒要从宽惩治你， 万不能不罚你。 这是耶和华说的。
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, says Jehovah, for I am with thee. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee. But I will correct thee in measure, and will in no way leave thee unpunished.
