1耶利米預言猶大被擄音麥的兒子巴施戶珥祭司，就是耶和華殿的總管，他聽見了耶利米預言這些事，
1Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2就毆打耶利米先知，把他枷鎖在耶和華殿裡，朝向便雅憫的上門內。
2Then 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 Yahweh.
3次日，巴施戶珥把耶利米從枷鎖上解下來，耶利米就對他說：“耶和華不再稱你的名為巴施戶珥，卻要稱你為瑪歌珥．米撒畢（“瑪歌珥．米撒畢”意即“四圍驚慌”）。
3It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4因為耶和華這樣說：‘看哪！我要使你自己和你所有的朋友都驚惶失措；他們必倒在他們仇敵的刀下，你也必親眼看見。我要把全猶大交在巴比倫王手中；他要把他們擄到巴比倫去，或用刀擊殺他們。
4For thus says Yahweh, Behold, 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.
5我要把這城的一切財物、一切勞碌得來的、一切珍寶和猶大列王的一切寶物，都交在他們仇敵的手中；仇敵要把這一切搶劫掠奪，帶回巴比倫去。
5Moreover 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.
6巴施戶珥啊！你和所有住在你家裡的人，都要被擄去；你和你所有的朋友，就是你向他們說假預言的，都要到巴比倫去，死在那裡，也葬在那裡。’”
6You, 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.
7因傳 神的信息而受苦耶和華啊！你愚弄了我，我受了愚弄；你比我強大，你勝了我。我整天成了別人譏笑的對象，人人都嘲弄我。
7Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocks me.
8因為我每次發言，都大聲呼叫；我呼喊，說：“有強暴和毀滅！”耶和華的話使我整天受人辱罵和譏諷。
8For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
9如果我說：“我不再提起他，也不再奉他的名說話”，他的話就像火在我心中焚燒，被困在我的骨裡；我不能再抑制，實在不能了。
9If 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.
10我聽見許多人耳語：“瑪歌珥．米撒畢！告發他，我們要告發他！”我所有的知己朋友都等著看我行差踏錯，他們說：“希望他會上當，我們就可以勝過他，向他報復。”
10For 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.
11但耶和華與我同在，像一個威武可畏的勇士，因此，逼迫我的都必跌倒，不能得勝。他們必大大蒙羞，因為他們失敗了；這永遠的恥辱是人不能忘記的。
11But Yahweh 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.
12萬軍之耶和華啊！你試驗義人，察看人的心腸肺腑；求你讓我看見你在他們身上施行的報復，因為我已經把我的案件向你陳明了。
12But, Yahweh of Armies, 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.
13你們要歌頌耶和華，讚美耶和華；因為他救了窮乏人的性命，脫離惡人的手。
13Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14咒詛自己的生日願我生的那一天受咒詛！願我母親生我的那一天不蒙祝福！
14Cursed is the day in which I was born: don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15那向我父親報喜信：“你得了一個男孩”，叫我父親十分高興的，願那人受咒詛！
15Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.
16願那人像耶和華所傾覆而不顧惜的城市，願他早晨聽見哀號，午間聽見戰爭的吶喊。
16Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
17因為他沒有使我死於母腹，好使我的母親成了我的墳墓，我永遠留在母腹中。
17because he didn’t kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18我為甚麼要出母胎，經歷勞苦和憂傷，並且我的年日都消逝在羞辱之中呢？
18Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
