Jeremiah 20
1 When Pashur, the sonne of Immer, the Priest, which was appointed gouernour in the house of the Lord, heard that Ieremiah prophecied these things,
依默爾的兒子帕市胡爾司祭，上主殿宇的總監督，聽見了耶肋米亞預言這些事，
2 Then Pashur smote Ieremiah the Prophet, and put him in the stockes that were in the hie gate of Beniamin which was by the House of the Lord.
帕市胡爾便打了耶肋米亞先知，給他加上腳鐐，把他囚在上主殿內本雅明上門的監牢裏。
3 And on the morning, Pashur brought Ieremiah out of the stockes. Then said Ieremiah vnto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
次日，帕市胡爾給耶肋米亞去了腳鐐；耶肋米亞便對他說：「上主不再稱你為「帕市胡爾」，卻稱你為「驚慌四起」。
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee to be a terrour to thy self, and to al thy friends, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall beholde it, and I will giue all Iudah into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall cary them captiue into Babel, and shall slay them with the sworde.
因為上主這樣說：看，我必使你和你的一切友人遭受慌；他們必倒在敵人的刀下，而且你要親眼看見這事；我將全猶大人交在巴比倫王的手中，他要將他們擄到巴比倫去，用刀擊殺。
5 Moreouer, I will deliuer all the substance of this citie, and all the labours thereof, and al the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the Kings of Iudah will I giue into the hande of their enemies, which shall spoyle them, and take them away and cary them to Babel.
這城的一切財物，一切積蓄，一切珍寶，以及猶大列王的一切寶藏，我都要交在他們敵人的手中，讓他們搶劫掠奪，運到巴比倫去。
6 And thou Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captiuitie, and thou shalt come to Babel, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buryed there, thou and all thy friendes, to whome thou hast prophecied lyes.
至於你，帕市胡爾! 以及凡住在你家中的人，都要被擄去充軍；你和你向他們講假預言的一切友人，都要到巴比倫去，死在那裏，埋在那裏。」
7 O Lord, thou hast deceiued me, and I am deceiued: thou art stronger then I, and hast preuailed: I am in derision daily: euery one mocketh me.
上主，你引誘了我，我讓我自己受了你的引誘；你確實比我強，你戰勝了。我終日成為笑柄，人都嘲笑我。
8 For since I spake, I cryed out of wrong, and proclaimed desolation: therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproche vnto me, and in derision daily.
因為我每次發言，必得叫喊，必得高呼：「暴虐! 破壞! 」實在，上主的話，為我日日成為受侮辱和譏笑的因由。
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speake any more in his Name. But his worde was in mine heart as a burning fire shut vp in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
假使我說：我不再想念他，不再以他的名發言；在我心中就像有火在焚燒，蘊藏在我的骨髓內；我竭力抑制，亦不可能。
10 For I had heard the railing of many, and feare on euery side. Declare, said they, and wee wil declare it: all my familiars watched for mine halting, saying, It may be that he is deceiued: so we shall preuaile against him, and we shall execute our vengeance vpon him.
實在，我聽到了多少人私相耳語：「驚慌四起! 你們揭發，我們就必對他提出控訴。」甚至我一切的友好都在偵察我的破綻：「也許他會入彀，那我們必能制勝他，對他施行報復。」
11 But the Lord is with me like a mightie gyant: therefore my persecuters shall be ouerthrowen, and shall not preuaile, and shalbe greatly confounded: for they haue done vnwisely, and their euerlasting shame shall neuer be forgotten.
但是與我同在的上主，好像是一位孔武有力的戰士，為此迫害我的人只有失敗，決不能制勝；由於謀事不成，必蒙受極大的恥辱，永不可磨滅的羞辱。
12 But, O Lord of hostes, that tryest the righteous, and seest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.
噫萬軍的上主! 你考驗義人，洞察人的肝膽肺腑；我既給你訴說了我的案情，你使我見到你對他們的報復。
13 Sing vnto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath deliuered the soule of the poore from the hande of the wicked.
你們應歌頌上主，讚揚上主，因為他從惡人的手中，救出了窮苦人的性命。
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: and let not the day wherein my mother bare me, be blessed.
願我誕生的那一天，是可咒罵的；願我母親生我的那一天，不蒙受祝福!
15 Cursed be the man, that shewed my father, saying, A man child is borne vnto thee, and comforted him.
願那給我父親報信說：「給你生了一個男孩，」叫他異常高興的人，是可詛咒的!
16 And let that man be as the cities, which the Lord hath ouerturned and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the showting at noone tide,
願這人像上主不顧惜消滅的城市：早晨聽到哀號，正午聽到警報；
17 Because he hath not slaine me, euen from the wombe, or that my mother might haue bene my graue, or her wobe a perpetual conception.
因為他沒有叫我死在母胎，使我的母親成為我的墳墓，叫她永遠不分娩生我!
18 How is it, that I came forth of the wombe, to see labour and sorowe, that my dayes shoulde be consumed with shame?
為什麼我要從母胎裏出來，眼見辛酸痛苦，在羞辱中消磨我的歲月﹖
