< Jeremiah 20 >

1 Now it came to the ears of Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief in authority in the house of the Lord, that Jeremiah was saying these things;
祭司音麦的儿子巴施户珥作耶和华殿的总管,听见耶利米预言这些事,
2 And Pashhur gave blows to Jeremiah and had his feet chained in a framework of wood in the higher doorway of Benjamin, which was in the house of the Lord.
他就打先知耶利米,用耶和华殿里便雅悯高门内的枷,将他枷在那里。
3 Then on the day after, Pashhur let Jeremiah loose. Then Jeremiah said to him, The Lord has given you the name of Magor-missabib (Cause-of-fear-on-every-side), not Pashhur.
次日,巴施户珥将耶利米开枷释放。于是耶利米对他说:“耶和华不是叫你的名为巴施户珥,乃是叫你玛歌珥·米撒毕,
4 For the Lord has said, See, I will make you a cause of fear to yourself and to all your friends: they will come to their death by the sword of their haters, and your eyes will see it: and I will give all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take them away prisoners into Babylon and put them to the sword.
因耶和华如此说:‘我必使你自觉惊吓,你也必使众朋友惊吓;他们必倒在仇敌的刀下,你也必亲眼看见;我必将犹大人全交在巴比伦王的手中,他要将他们掳到巴比伦去,也要用刀将他们杀戮。
5 And more than this, I will give all the wealth of this town and all its profits and all its things of value, even all the stores of the kings of Judah will I give into the hands of their haters, who will put violent hands on them and take them away to Babylon.
并且我要将这城中的一切货财和劳碌得来的,并一切珍宝,以及犹大君王所有的宝物,都交在他们仇敌的手中;仇敌要当作掠物带到巴比伦去。
6 And you, Pashhur, and all who are in your house, will go away prisoners: you will come to Babylon, and there your body will be put to rest, you and all your friends, to whom you said false words.
你这巴施户珥和一切住在你家中的人都必被掳去;你和你的众朋友,就是你向他们说假预言的,都必到巴比伦去,要死在那里,葬在那里。’”
7 O Lord, you have been false to me, and I was tricked; you are stronger than I, and have overcome me: I have become a thing to be laughed at all the day, everyone makes sport of me.
耶和华啊,你曾劝导我, 我也听了你的劝导。 你比我有力量,且胜了我。 我终日成为笑话, 人人都戏弄我。
8 For every word I say is a cry for help; I say with a loud voice, Violent behaviour and wasting: because the word of the Lord is made a shame to me and a cause of laughing all the day.
我每逢讲论的时候,就发出哀声, 我喊叫说:有强暴和毁灭! 因为耶和华的话终日成了我的凌辱、讥刺。
9 And if I say, I will not keep him in mind, I will not say another word in his name; then it is in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am tired of keeping myself in, I am not able to do it.
我若说:我不再提耶和华, 也不再奉他的名讲论, 我便心里觉得 似乎有烧着的火闭塞在我骨中, 我就含忍不住,不能自禁。
10 For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.
我听见了许多人的谗谤, 四围都是惊吓; 就是我知己的朋友也都窥探我, 愿我跌倒,说: 告他吧,我们也要告他! 或者他被引诱, 我们就能胜他, 在他身上报仇。
11 But the Lord is with me as a great one, greatly to be feared: so my attackers will have a fall, and they will not overcome me: they will be greatly shamed, because they have not done wisely, even with an unending shame, kept in memory for ever.
然而,耶和华与我同在, 好像甚可怕的勇士。 因此,逼迫我的必都绊跌, 不能得胜; 他们必大大蒙羞, 就是受永不忘记的羞辱, 因为他们行事没有智慧。
12 But, O Lord of armies, testing the upright and seeing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them; for I have put my cause before you.
试验义人、察看人肺腑心肠的万军之耶和华啊, 求你容我见你在他们身上报仇, 因我将我的案件向你禀明了。
13 Make melody to the Lord, give praise to the Lord: for he has made the soul of the poor man free from the hands of the evil-doers.
你们要向耶和华唱歌; 赞美耶和华! 因他救了穷人的性命脱离恶人的手。
14 A curse on the day of my birth: let there be no blessing on the day when my mother had me.
愿我生的那日受咒诅; 愿我母亲产我的那日不蒙福!
15 A curse on the man who gave the news to my father, saying, You have a male child; making him very glad.
给我父亲报信说“你得了儿子”, 使我父亲甚欢喜的, 愿那人受咒诅。
16 May that man be like the towns overturned by the Lord without mercy: let a cry for help come to his ears in the morning, and the sound of war in the middle of the day;
愿那人像耶和华所倾覆而不后悔的城邑; 愿他早晨听见哀声, 晌午听见呐喊;
17 Because he did not put me to death before my birth took place: so my mother's body would have been my last resting-place, and she would have been with child for ever.
因他在我未出胎的时候不杀我, 使我母亲成了我的坟墓, 胎就时常重大。
18 Why did I come from my mother's body to see pain and sorrow, so that my days might be wasted with shame?
我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦, 使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢?
