< Jeremiah 20 >
1 And Phassur, the sone of Emyner, the preest, that was ordeyned prince in the hous of the Lord, herde Jeremye profesiynge these wordis.
祭司音麥的兒子巴施戶珥作耶和華殿的總管,聽見耶利米預言這些事,
2 And Phassur smoot Jeremye, the profete, and sente hym in to the stockis, that weren in the hiyere yate of Beniamyn, in the hous of the Lord.
他就打先知耶利米,用耶和華殿裏便雅憫高門內的枷,將他枷在那裏。
3 And whanne it was cleer in the morewe, Phassur ledde Jeremye out of the stockis. And Jeremye seide to hym, The Lord clepide not Phassur thi name, but Drede on ech side.
次日,巴施戶珥將耶利米開枷釋放。於是耶利米對他說:「耶和華不是叫你的名為巴施戶珥,乃是叫你瑪歌珥‧米撒畢,
4 For the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue thee and alle thi freendis in to drede, and thei schulen falle doun bi the swerd of her enemyes; and thin iyen schulen se; and Y schal yyue al Juda in the hond of the king of Babiloyne, and he schal lede hem ouer in to Babiloyne, and he schal smyte hem bi swerd.
因耶和華如此說:『我必使你自覺驚嚇,你也必使眾朋友驚嚇;他們必倒在仇敵的刀下,你也必親眼看見;我必將猶大人全交在巴比倫王的手中,他要將他們擄到巴比倫去,也要用刀將他們殺戮。
5 And Y schal yyue al the catel of this citee, and al the trauel therof, and al the prijs; and Y schal yyue alle the tresours of the kingis of Juda in the hond of her enemyes; and thei schulen rauysche tho, and schulen take, and lede forth in to Babiloyne.
並且我要將這城中的一切貨財和勞碌得來的,並一切珍寶,以及猶大君王所有的寶物,都交在他們仇敵的手中;仇敵要當作掠物帶到巴比倫去。
6 Forsothe thou, Phassur, and alle the dwelleris of thin hous, schulen go in to caitifte; and thou schalt come in to Babiloyne, and thou schalt die there; and thou schalt be biried there, thou and alle thi freendis, to whiche thou profesiedist a leesyng.
你這巴施戶珥和一切住在你家中的人都必被擄去;你和你的眾朋友,就是你向他們說假預言的,都必到巴比倫去,要死在那裏,葬在那裏。』」
7 Lord, thou disseyuedist me, and Y am disseyued; thou were strongere than Y, and thou haddist the maistrie; Y am maad in to scorn al dai.
耶和華啊,你曾勸導我, 我也聽了你的勸導。 你比我有力量,且勝了我。 我終日成為笑話, 人人都戲弄我。
8 Alle men bymowen me, for now a while ago Y speke criynge wickidnesse, and Y criede distriynge. And the word of the Lord is maad to me in to schenschip, and in to scorn al dai.
我每逢講論的時候,就發出哀聲, 我喊叫說:有強暴和毀滅! 因為耶和華的話終日成了我的凌辱、譏刺。
9 And Y seide, Y schal not haue mynde on hym, and Y schal no more speke in his name. And the word of the Lord was maad, as fier swalynge in myn herte, and cloosid in my boonys; and Y failide, not suffryng to bere.
我若說:我不再提耶和華, 也不再奉他的名講論, 我便心裏覺得 似乎有燒着的火閉塞在我骨中, 我就含忍不住,不能自禁。
10 For Y herde dispisyngis of many men, and drede in cumpas, Pursue ye, and pursue we hym, of alle men that weren pesible to me, and kepynge my side; if in ony maner he be disseyued, and we haue the maistrie ayens hym, and gete veniaunce of hym.
我聽見了許多人的讒謗, 四圍都是驚嚇; 就是我知己的朋友也都窺探我, 願我跌倒,說: 告他吧,我們也要告他! 或者他被引誘, 我們就能勝他, 在他身上報仇。
11 Forsothe the Lord as a stronge werriour is with me, therfor thei that pursuen me schulen falle, and schulen be sijk; and thei schulen be schent greetli, for thei vndurstoden not euerlastynge schenschip, that schal neuere be don awei.
然而,耶和華與我同在, 好像甚可怕的勇士。 因此,逼迫我的必都絆跌, 不能得勝; 他們必大大蒙羞, 就是受永不忘記的羞辱, 因為他們行事沒有智慧。
12 And thou, Lord of oostis, the preuere of a iust man, which seest the reynes and herte, Y biseche, se Y thi veniaunce of hem; for Y haue schewid my cause to thee.
試驗義人、察看人肺腑心腸的萬軍之耶和華啊, 求你容我見你在他們身上報仇, 因我將我的案件向你稟明了。
13 Synge ye to the Lord, herie ye the Lord, for he delyueride the soule of a pore man fro the hond of yuel men.
你們要向耶和華唱歌; 讚美耶和華! 因他救了窮人的性命脫離惡人的手。
14 Cursid be the dai where ynne Y was borun, the dai where ynne my modir childide me, be not blessid.
願我生的那日受咒詛; 願我母親產我的那日不蒙福!
15 Cursid be the man, that telde to my fadir, and seide, A knaue child is borun to thee, and made hym glad as with ioye.
給我父親報信說「你得了兒子」, 使我父親甚歡喜的, 願那人受咒詛。
16 Thilke man be as the citees ben, whiche the Lord distriede, and it repentide not hym;
願那人像耶和華所傾覆而不後悔的城邑; 願他早晨聽見哀聲, 晌午聽見吶喊;
17 he that killide not me fro the wombe, here cry eerli, and yellynge in the tyme of myddai; that my modir were a sepulcre to me, and hir wombe were euerlastinge conseyuyng.
因他在我未出胎的時候不殺我, 使我母親成了我的墳墓, 胎就時常重大。
18 Whi yede Y out of the wombe, that Y schulde se trauel and sorewe, and that mi daies schulen be waastid in schenschipe?
我為何出胎見勞碌愁苦, 使我的年日因羞愧消滅呢?
