¹耶利米预言犹大被掳

¹And Pashhur son of Immer the priest — who also [is] overseer, leader in the house of Jehovah — heareth Jeremiah prophesying these things,

²就殴打耶利米先知，把他枷锁在耶和华殿里，朝向便雅悯的上门内。

²and Pashhur smiteth Jeremiah the prophet, and putteth him unto the stocks, that [are] by the high gate of Benjamin, that [is] by the house of Jehovah.

³次日，巴施户珥把耶利米从枷锁上解下来，耶利米就对他说：“耶和华不再称你的名为巴施户珥，却要称你为玛歌珥．米撒毕（“玛歌珥．米撒毕”意即“四围惊慌”）。

³and it cometh to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur bringeth out Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah saith unto him, `Not Pashhur hath Jehovah called thy name, but — Magor-Missabib.

⁴因为耶和华这样说：‘看哪！我要使你自己和你所有的朋友都惊惶失措；他们必倒在他们仇敌的刀下，你也必亲眼看见。我要把全犹大交在巴比伦王手中；他要把他们掳到巴比伦去，或用刀击杀他们。

⁴For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am making thee for a fear to thyself, And to all loving thee, And they have fallen by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes are beholding, And all Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath removed them to Babylon, And he hath smitten them with the sword.

⁵我要把这城的一切财物、一切劳碌得来的、一切珍宝和犹大列王的一切宝物，都交在他们仇敌的手中；仇敌要把这一切抢劫掠夺，带回巴比伦去。

⁵And I have given all the strength of this city, And all its labour, and all its precious things, Yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah I do give into the hand of their enemies, And they have spoiled them, and taken them, And have brought them into Babylon.

⁶巴施户珥啊！你和所有住在你家里的人，都要被掳去；你和你所有的朋友，就是你向他们说假预言的，都要到巴比伦去，死在那里，也葬在那里。’”

⁶And thou, Pashhur, and all dwelling in thy house, Do go into captivity. and Babylon thou dost enter, And there thou diest, and there thou art buried, Thou and all loving thee, To whom thou hast prophesied falsely.`

⁷因传　神的信息而受苦耶和华啊！你愚弄了我，我受了愚弄；你比我强大，你胜了我。我整天成了别人讥笑的对象，人人都嘲弄我。

⁷Thou hast persuaded me, O Jehovah, and I am persuaded; Thou hast hardened me, and dost prevail, I have been for a laughter all the day, Every one is mocking at me,

⁸因为我每次发言，都大声呼叫；我呼喊，说：“有强暴和毁灭！”耶和华的话使我整天受人辱骂和讥讽。

⁸Because from the time I speak I cry out, `Violence and destruction,` I cry, For the word of Jehovah hath been to me For reproach and for derision all the day.

⁹如果我说：“我不再提起他，也不再奉他的名说话”，他的话就像火在我心中焚烧，被困在我的骨里；我不能再抑制，实在不能了。

⁹And I said, `I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more in His name,` And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.

¹⁰我听见许多人耳语：“玛歌珥．米撒毕！告发他，我们要告发他！”我所有的知己朋友都等着看我行差踏错，他们说：“希望他会上当，我们就可以胜过他，向他报复。”

¹⁰For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear [is] round about: `Declare, and we declare it,` All mine allies are watching [for] my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.`

¹¹但耶和华与我同在，像一个威武可畏的勇士，因此，逼迫我的都必跌倒，不能得胜。他们必大大蒙羞，因为他们失败了；这永远的耻辱是人不能忘记的。

¹¹And Jehovah [is] with me, as a terrible mighty one, Therefore my persecutors stumble and prevail not, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Confusion age-during is not forgotten.

¹²万军之耶和华啊！你试验义人，察看人的心肠肺腑；求你让我看见你在他们身上施行的报复，因为我已经把我的案件向你陈明了。

¹²And, O Jehovah of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance out of them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.

¹³你们要歌颂耶和华，赞美耶和华；因为他救了穷乏人的性命，脱离恶人的手。

¹³Sing ye to Jehovah, praise Jehovah, For He hath delivered the soul of the needy From the hand of evil doers.

¹⁴咒诅自己的生日愿我生的那一天受咒诅！愿我母亲生我的那一天不蒙祝福！

¹⁴Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bare me, Let it not be blessed!

¹⁵那向我父亲报喜信：“你得了一个男孩”，叫我父亲十分高兴的，愿那人受咒诅！

¹⁵Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, saying, `Born to thee hath been a child — a male,` Making him very glad!

¹⁶愿那人像耶和华所倾覆而不顾惜的城市，愿他早晨听见哀号，午间听见战争的吶喊。

¹⁶Then hath that man been as the cities, That Jehovah overthrew, and repented not, And he hath heard a cry at morning, And a shout at time of noon.

¹⁷因为他没有使我死于母腹，好使我的母亲成了我的坟墓，我永远留在母腹中。

¹⁷Because he hath not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me — my grave, And her womb a pregnancy age-during.

¹⁸我为什么要出母胎，经历劳苦和忧伤，并且我的年日都消逝在羞辱之中呢？

¹⁸Why [is] this? from the womb I have come out, To see labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days!
