< Jeremiah 20 >
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of YHWH, heard 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 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was in 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 It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, "YHWH has not called your name 'Pashhur,' but 'Magor-Missabib.'
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 says YHWH, 'Look, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill 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 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to 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 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, 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 YHWH, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I am, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing-stock all day long; everyone mocks 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 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, "Violence and destruction." because the word of YHWH is made a reproach to me, and a 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 If I say, "I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name," then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't contain it.
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 defaming of many, terror on every side. "Denounce, and we will denounce him," say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; "perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge 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 But YHWH is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be 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 But, YHWH of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.
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: do not let the day in which my mother bore me 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 brought news to my father, saying, A boy is 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 Let that man be as the cities which YHWH overthrew, and did not repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting 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 did not kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
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 came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦, 使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢?
