Jeremiah 46
1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
耶和华论列国的话临到先知耶利米。
2 for Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that has been by the Euphrates River, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 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 “Set shield and buckler in array, And draw near to battle.
你们要预备大小盾牌， 往前上阵。
4 Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
你们套上车， 骑上马！ 顶盔站立， 磨枪贯甲！
5 Why have I seen them dismayed [and] turned backward? And their mighty ones are beaten down, And they have fled [to] a refuge, And did not turn their face, Fear [is] all around—a declaration of YHWH.
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 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the Euphrates River, They have stumbled and fallen.
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? He comes up as a flood, His waters shake themselves as rivers!
像尼罗河涨发， 像江河之水翻腾的是谁呢？
8 Egypt comes up as a flood, And the waters shake themselves as rivers. And he says, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
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 Go up, you horses; and boast yourselves, you chariots, And go forth, you mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling—treading 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 And that day [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword has devoured, and been satisfied, And it has been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
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 to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, You have multiplied medicines in vain, There is no healing for you.
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 Nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land, For the mighty stumbled on the mighty, Together they have fallen—both of them!”
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 YHWH has spoken to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to 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 in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, And sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, say, Stand firm and prepare yourself, For a sword has devoured around 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 has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because YHWH thrust him away.
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 has multiplied the stumbling, Indeed, one has fallen on his neighbor, And they say: Rise, and we return to our people, And to the land of our birth, Because of 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 have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, The appointed time has passed by.
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—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea—he comes in,
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 Make goods for yourself for removal, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been burned up, without 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] a very beautiful heifer, Destruction comes into her from 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 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity has come on them, The time of their inspection.
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 Its voice goes on as a serpent, For they go with a force, And they have come in to her with axes, As hewers of trees.
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 have cut down her forest, A declaration of YHWH, For it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
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 has been ashamed, She has been given 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 YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, has said: Behold, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting 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 have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterward it is inhabited, As [in] days of old—a declaration of YHWH.
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 And you, you do not fear, My servant Jacob, Nor [are] you dismayed, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar—And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back, And has been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
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 You do not fear, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, For I [am] with you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have driven you, And I do not make an end of you, And I have reproved you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you!”
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。
