Jeremias 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Aelam.
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬登基的时候，有这话从耶和华临到耶利米说：
2 FOR EGYPT, AGAINST THE POWER OF PHARAO NECHAO KING OF EGYPT, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.
“耶和华如此说：你站在耶和华殿的院内，对犹大众城邑的人，就是到耶和华殿来礼拜的，说我所吩咐你的一切话，一字不可删减。
3 Take up arms and spears, and draw near to battle;
或者他们肯听从，各人回头离开恶道，使我后悔不将我因他们所行的恶，想要施行的灾祸降与他们。
4 and harness the horses: mount, you horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breastplates.
你要对他们说，耶和华如此说：‘你们若不听从我，不遵行我设立在你们面前的律法，
5 Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, says the Lord.
不听我从早起来差遣到你们那里去我仆人众先知的话（你们还是没有听从），
6 Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.
我就必使这殿如示罗，使这城为地上万国所咒诅的。’”
7 Who is this [that] shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll [their] waves?
耶利米在耶和华殿中说的这些话，祭司、先知与众民都听见了。
8 The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.
耶利米说完了耶和华所吩咐他对众人说的一切话，祭司、先知与众民都来抓住他，说：“你必要死！
9 Mount you the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, you warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, you Lydians, bend the bow.
你为何托耶和华的名预言，说这殿必如示罗，这城必变为荒场无人居住呢？”于是众民都在耶和华的殿中聚集到耶利米那里。
10 And that day [shall be] to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord [has] a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.
犹大的首领听见这事，就从王宫上到耶和华的殿，坐在耶和华殿的新门口。
11 Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain have you multiplied your medicines; there is no help in you.
祭司、先知对首领和众民说：“这人是该死的；因为他说预言攻击这城，正如你们亲耳所听见的。”
12 The nations have heard your voice, and the land has been filled with your cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together.
耶利米就对众首领和众民说：“耶和华差遣我预言，攻击这殿和这城，说你们所听见的这一切话。
13 THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt.
现在要改正你们的行动作为，听从耶和华—你们 神的话，他就必后悔，不将所说的灾祸降与你们。
14 Proclaim [it] at Magdol, and declare [it] at Memphis: say you, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured your yew tree.
至于我，我在你们手中，你们眼看何为善，何为正，就那样待我吧！
15 Therefore has Apis fled from you? your choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.
但你们要确实地知道，若把我治死，就使无辜人的血归到你们和这城，并其中的居民了；因为耶和华实在差遣我到你们这里来，将这一切话传与你们耳中。”
16 And your multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbor, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.
首领和众民就对祭司、先知说：“这人是不该死的，因为他是奉耶和华—我们 神的名向我们说话。”
17 Call you the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.
国中的长老就有几个人起来，对聚会的众民说：
18 [As] I live, says the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.
“当犹大王希西家的日子，有摩利沙人弥迦对犹大众人预言说： 万军之耶和华如此说： 锡安必被耕种像一块田； 耶路撒冷必变为乱堆； 这殿的山必像丛林的高处。
19 O daughter of Egypt dwelling [at home], prepare you stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.
犹大王希西家和犹大众人岂是把他治死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华、恳求他的恩吗？耶和华就后悔，不把自己所说的灾祸降与他们。若治死这人，我们就作了大恶，自害己命。” （
20 Egypt is a fair heifer, [but] destruction from the north is come upon her.
又有一个人奉耶和华的名说预言，是基列·耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚，他照耶利米的一切话说预言，攻击这城和这地。
21 Also her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
约雅敬王和他众勇士、众首领听见了乌利亚的话，王就想要把他治死。乌利亚听见就惧怕，逃往埃及去了。
22 Their voice is as [that] of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.
约雅敬王便打发亚革波的儿子以利拿单，带领几个人往埃及去。
23 They shall cut down her forest, says the Lord, for [their number] can’t at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.
他们就从埃及将乌利亚带出来，送到约雅敬王那里；王用刀杀了他，把他的尸首抛在平民的坟地中。）
24 The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.
然而，沙番的儿子亚希甘保护耶利米，不交在百姓的手中治死他。
25 Behold, I [will] avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.
27 But fear not you, my servant Jacob, neither be you alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.
28 Fear not you, my servant Jacob, says the Lord; for I am with you: she [that was] without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation among whom I have thrust you forth; but I will not cause you to fail: yet will I chastise you in the way of judgment, and will not hold you entirely guiltless.
