< Jeremiah 20 >

1 And Pashhur son of Immer the priest—who [is] also overseer, leader in the house of YHWH—hears 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 and Pashhur strikes Jeremiah the prophet, and puts him in the stocks that [are] by the Upper Gate of Benjamin, that [is] by the house of YHWH.
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 And it comes to pass on the next day, that Pashhur brings Jeremiah out from the stocks, and Jeremiah says to him, “YHWH has not called your name Pashhur, but Terror on Every Side.
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 thus said YHWH: Behold, I am making you for a fear to yourself, And to all loving you, And they have fallen by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes are beholding, And all Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has removed them to Babylon, And he has struck them with the sword.
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 And I have given all the strength of this city, And all its labor, and all its precious things, Indeed, I give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, And they have spoiled them, and taken them, And have brought them into 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 And you, Pashhur, and all dwelling in your house, Go into captivity. And you enter Babylon, And there you die, and there you are buried, You and all loving you, To whom you have prophesied falsely.”
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 have persuaded me, O YHWH, and I am persuaded; You have hardened me, and prevail, I have been for a laughter all the day, Everyone is mocking at 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 Because from the time I speak I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of YHWH has been to me For reproach and for derision all the day.
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 And I said, “I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak anymore in His Name,” And it has been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.
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 For I have heard the evil report of many, “Fear [is] all around!” “Declare, and we declare it!” All my allies are watching [for] my halting, “Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance on him.”
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 And YHWH [is] with me, as a mighty, awesome One, Therefore my persecutors stumble and do not prevail, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Continuous confusion is not 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 And, O YHWH of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I see Your vengeance on them, For I have revealed my cause to you.
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 YHWH, praise YHWH, For He has delivered the soul of the needy From the hand of evildoers.
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 Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bore me, Let it not be blessed!
愿我生的那日受咒诅; 愿我母亲产我的那日不蒙福!
15 Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, Saying, “A male child has been born to you,” Making him very glad!
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 Then that man has been as the cities, That YHWH overthrew, and did not relent, And he has heard a cry in the morning, And a shout at noontime.
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 has not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me—my grave, And her womb [is] a perpetual pregnancy.
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 [is] this? I have come out from the womb To see labor and sorrow, Indeed, my days are consumed in shame!
我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦, 使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢?
