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 that 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-Necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah.
3 你们要预备大小盾牌， 往前上阵。
Make ready 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 mount ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets; polish 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 do I see them dismayed, turned away back? And their mighty ones are beaten down, and take to flight, and look not back? Terror [is] on every side, saith 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, neither let the mighty man escape! — Toward the north, hard 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] riseth up as 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。
It is Egypt that riseth up as the Nile, and [his] waters toss themselves like the rivers; and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy the city 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 drive furiously, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Phut that handle the shield, and the Ludim that handle the bow [and] bend it.
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 this is the day of the Lord Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may be avenged of his adversaries; and the sword shall devour, and it shall be sated and made drunk with their blood; for the Lord Jehovah of hosts hath 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 to Gilead, and fetch balm, O virgin-daughter of Egypt! In vain shalt thou multiply remedies: 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 thy cry hath filled the earth; for the mighty man stumbleth against the mighty, they are both fallen 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, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to 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 in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in Tahpanhes; say, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword devoureth 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 valiants swept away? They stood not, for Jehovah did thrust them down.
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, one fell upon another; and they said, Arise, and let us return 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。
There did they cry, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the time appointed go 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, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely as Tabor among the mountains, and as 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。
Thou, inhabitress, daughter of Egypt, furnish for thyself a captive's baggage, for Noph shall be a desolation and shall be ruined, so that none shall dwell therein.
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; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north.
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 fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, they have fled away together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity is 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。
Her voice shall go like a serpent's; 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, saith Jehovah, though it be impenetrable; for 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 is put to shame; she is 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, saith, Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, and her gods, and her kings; yea, Pharaoh and them that confide 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 give them into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; but afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith 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 thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, neither be dismayed, Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest 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, my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and I will not hold thee altogether guiltless.
