Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
耶和华论列国的话临到先知耶利米。
2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon stroke in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
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。
3 Order all of you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
你们要预备大小盾牌， 往前上阵。
4 Harness the horses; and get up, all of you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; polish the spears, and put on the protective armor.
你们套上车， 骑上马！ 顶盔站立， 磨枪贯甲！
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled swiftly, and look not back: for fear was round about, says the LORD.
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。
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
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。
7 Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
像尼罗河涨发， 像江河之水翻腾的是谁呢？
8 Egypt rises up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
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。
9 Come up, all of you horses; and rage, all of you chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
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！
10 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
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。
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines; for you shall not be cured.
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。
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
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。
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.
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：
14 Declare all of you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say all of you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.
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。
15 Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
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，
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell 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.
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。
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has passed the time appointed.
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。
18 As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he comes.
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。
19 O you daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
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。
20 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north.
埃及是肥美的母牛犊； 但出于北方的毁灭来到了！来到了！
21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
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。
22 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
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。
23 They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
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。
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
埃及的民必然蒙羞， 必交在北方人的手中。
25 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
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。
26 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD.
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。”
27 But fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from far off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
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。
28 Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.
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。
