Jeremiah 46
1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto 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 hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, 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 ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.
你们要预备大小盾牌， 往前上阵。
4 Gird the horses, and go up, ye 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 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 river Phrat, 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? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
像尼罗河涨发， 像江河之水翻腾的是谁呢？
8 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, 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, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye 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 the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
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, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for 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 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, 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 Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite 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 ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
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 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah 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 hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto 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, Passed by hath the appointed time.
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 I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh 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 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt 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 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
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 hath 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 as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, 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, An affirmation of Jehovah — 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 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath 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 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath 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 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'
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。
