< Jeremiah 46 >
1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens hethene men;
耶和华论列国的话临到先知耶利米。
2 to Egipt, ayens the oost of Farao Nechao, kyng of Egipt, that was bisidis the flood Eufrates, in Charchamys, whom Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, smoot, in the fourthe yeer of Joachym, sone of Josie, kyng of Juda.
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 Make ye redi scheeld and targat, and go ye forth to batel.
你们要预备大小盾牌, 往前上阵。
4 Ioyne ye horsis, and stie, ye knyytis; stonde ye in helmes, polische ye speris, clothe ye you in haburiowns.
你们套上车, 骑上马! 顶盔站立, 磨枪贯甲!
5 What therfor? Y siy hem dredeful, and turnynge the backis, the stronge men of hem slayn; and thei fledden swiftli, and bihelden not; drede was on ech side, seith the Lord.
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 A swift man schal not fle, and a strong man gesse not hym silf to be saued; at the north, bisidis the flood Eufrates, thei weren ouer comun, and fellen doun.
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, that stieth as a flood, and hise swelewis wexen greet as of floodis?
像尼罗河涨发, 像江河之水翻腾的是谁呢?
8 Egipte stiede at the licnesse of a flood, and hise wawis schulen be mouyd as floodis; and it schal seie, Y schal stie, and hile the erthe; Y schal leese the citee, and dwelleris therof.
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 Stie ye on horsis, and make ye ful out ioie in charis; and stronge men, come forth, Ethiopie and Libie, holdynge scheeld, and Lidii, takynge and schetynge arowis.
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 Forsothe that dai of the Lord God of oostis is a dai of veniaunce, that he take veniaunce of hise enemyes; the swerd schal deuoure, and schal be fillid, and schal greetli be fillid with the blood of hem; for whi the slayn sacrifice of the Lord of oostis is in the lond of the north, bisidis the flood Eufrates.
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 Thou virgyn, the douyter of Egipt, stie in to Galaad, and take medicyn. In veyn thou schalt multiplie medecyns; helthe schal not be to thee.
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 Hethene men herden thi schenschipe, and thi yellyng fillide the erthe; for a strong man hurtlide ayens a strong man, and bothe fellen doun togidere.
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 which the Lord spak to Jeremye, the profete, on that that Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, was to comynge, and to smytynge the lond of Egipt.
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 Telle ye to Egipt, and make ye herd in Magdalo, and sowne it in Memphis, and seie ye in Taphnys, Stonde thou, and make thee redi, for a swerd schal deuoure tho thingis that ben bi thi cumpas.
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 Whi hath thi strong man wexe rotun? He stood not, for the Lord vndurturnede hym.
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 multipliede falleris, and a man felle doun to his neiybore; and thei schulen seie, Rise ye, and turne we ayen to oure puple, and to the lond of oure birthe, fro the face of swerd of the culuer.
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 Clepe ye the name of Farao, kyng of Egipt; the tyme hath brouyt noise.
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 Y lyue, seith the kyng, the Lord of oostis is his name; for it schal come as Thabor in hillis, and as Carmele in the see.
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 Thou dwelleresse, the douyter of Egipt, make to thee vessels of passyng ouer; for whi Memfis schal be in to wildirnesse, and schal be forsakun vnhabitable.
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 Egipt is a schapli cow calf, and fair; a prickere fro the north schal come to it.
埃及是肥美的母牛犊; 但出于北方的毁灭来到了!来到了!
21 Also the hirid men therof, that liueden as caluys maad fatte in the myddis therof, ben turned, and fledden togidere, and miyten not stonde; for the dai of sleynge of hem schal come on hem, the tyme of the visityng of hem.
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 The vois of hem schal sowne as of bras, for thei schulen haste with oost, and with axis thei schulen come to it. As men kittynge doun trees thei kittiden doun the forest therof,
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 seith the Lord, which mai not be noumbrid; thei ben multiplied ouer locustis, and no noumbre is in hem.
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 douytir of Egipt is schent, and bitakun in to the hond of the puple of the north,
埃及的民必然蒙羞, 必交在北方人的手中。
25 seide the Lord of oostis, God of Israel. Lo! Y schal visite on the noise of Alisaundre, and on Farao, and on Egipt, and on the goddis therof, and on the kyngis therof, and on hem that tristen in hym.
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 Y schal yyue hem in to the hondis of men that seken the lijf of hem, and in to the hondis of Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, and in to the hondis of hise seruauntis; and aftir these thingis it schal be enhabitid, as in the formere daies, seith the Lord.
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 thou, Jacob, my seruaunt, drede thou not, and Israel, drede thou not; for lo! Y schal make thee saaf fro fer place, and thi seed fro the lond of his caitiftee; and Jacob schal turne ayen, and schal reste, and schal haue prosperite, and noon schal be, that schal make hym aferd.
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 And Jacob, my seruaunt, nyle thou drede, seith the Lord, for Y am with thee; for Y schal waste alle folkis, to whiche Y castide thee out; but Y schal not waste thee, but Y schal chastise thee in doom, and Y schal not spare thee as innocent.
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。
