Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur, son of Immer, was a priest and the official in charge of the Lord's Temple. When he heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
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，
2 he beat Jeremiah the prophet and had him put in the stocks at the Upper Benjamin Gate, near to the Lord's Temple.
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。
3 The following day, when Pashhur had Jeremiah released from the stocks, Jeremiah told him, “The Lord doesn't call you Pashhur (tear in pieces), but Magor-missabib (terror is everywhere).
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，
4 For this is what the Lord says: I'm going to make you terrified—you and all those you love. Enemies will kill them as you watch. I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon. He will kill some, and the rest he will take away into exile in Babylon.
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。
5 I'm going to give it all away. All the wealth of this city, all the results of hard work, all the valuables, all the crown jewels of Judah's kings—I'm going to hand it over to their enemies, who will take it as plunder and carry it off to Babylon.
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。
6 You, Pashhur, and everyone who lives with you, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon. You will die there and be buried—you and all those you love, those to whom you prophesied lies.”
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。’”
7 You fooled me, Lord, and I let myself be fooled! You're stronger than me—you've won! I've become a joke people laugh at all day long. Everyone is mocking me.
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。
8 This is because every time I open my mouth I have to shout out warnings of violence and destruction. The Lord's message has become the reason people criticize and ridicule me the whole time.
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。
9 If I tell myself, “I won't talk about him anymore, I won't even mention his name,” then his message is like a fire trapped within me, burning me from the inside out. I'm getting tired of holding it in. I just can't win.
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。
10 I've heard many people gossiping: “He's the one who says, ‘terror is everywhere!’ He has to be reported! Report what he's doing!” All my good friends are waiting for me to slip up. “Maybe he'll make a mistake so we can defeat him and get our revenge on him,” they say.
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。
11 But the Lord stands beside me like a powerful warrior. So those who are attacking me will fall. They won't win! Because they're not successful they will be totally disgraced. Their shame won't ever be forgotten.
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。
12 Lord Almighty, you know without question who is living right. You examine people's thoughts and feelings. So let me see your punishment fall on them, because I've trusted you to judge my case.
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。
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he saves the poor from the power of the wicked.
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。
14 May the day I was born be cursed! May the day my mother gave birth to me never be blessed!
愿我生的那日受咒诅； 愿我母亲产我的那日不蒙福！
15 May the man be cursed who brought my father the news that made him really happy, saying, “You have a son.”
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。
16 May that man be like the towns that the Lord destroyed without mercy. May he hear shouts of alarm in the morning and war-cries at noon,
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；
17 because he should have killed me in the womb so that my mother would have been my grave, remaining pregnant forever.
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。
18 Why was I born only to see trouble and sadness, and to end my life in shame?
我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦， 使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢？
