< Jeremiah 43 >

1 And it came about that when Jeremiah had come to the end of giving all the people the words of the Lord their God, which the Lord their God had sent him to say to them, even all these words,
耶利米向众百姓说完了耶和华—他们 神的一切话,就是耶和华—他们 神差遣他去所说的一切话。
2 Then Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the men of pride, said to Jeremiah, You have said what is false: the Lord our God has not sent you to say, You are not to go into the land of Egypt and make your living-place there:
何沙雅的儿子亚撒利雅和加利亚的儿子约哈难,并一切狂傲的人,就对耶利米说:“你说谎言!耶和华—我们的 神并没有差遣你来说:‘你们不可进入埃及,在那里寄居。’
3 But Baruch, the son of Neriah, is moving you against us, to give us up into the hands of the Chaldaeans so that they may put us to death, and take us away prisoners into Babylon.
这是尼利亚的儿子巴录挑唆你害我们,要将我们交在迦勒底人的手中,使我们有被杀的,有被掳到巴比伦去的。”
4 So Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not give ear to the order of the Lord that they were to go on living in the land of Judah.
于是加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长,并众百姓,不听从耶和华的话住在犹大地。
5 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces took all the rest of Judah who had come back into the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been forced to go;
加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长却将所剩下的犹大人,就是从被赶到各国回来在犹大地寄居的男人、妇女、孩童,和众公主,并护卫长尼布撒拉旦所留在沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利那里的众人,与先知耶利米,以及尼利亚的儿子巴录,
6 The men and the women and the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch, the son of Neriah;
7 And they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: and they came to Tahpanhes.
都带入埃及地,到了答比匿。这是因他们不听从耶和华的话。
8 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
在答比匿,耶和华的话临到耶利米说:
9 Take in your hand some great stones, and put them in a safe place in the paste in the brickwork which is at the way into Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah;
“你在犹大人眼前要用手拿几块大石头,藏在砌砖的灰泥中,就是在答比匿法老的宫门那里,
10 And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and he will put the seat of his kingdom on these stones which have been put in a safe place here by you; and his tent will be stretched over them.
对他们说:‘万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:我必召我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来。在所藏的石头上我要安置他的宝座;他必将光华的宝帐支搭在其上。
11 And he will come and overcome the land of Egypt; those who are for death will be put to death, those who are to be prisoners will be made prisoners, and those who are for the sword will be given to the sword.
他要来攻击埃及地,定为死亡的,必致死亡;定为掳掠的,必被掳掠;定为刀杀的,必交刀杀。
12 And he will put a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and they will be burned by him: and he will make Egypt clean as a keeper of sheep makes clean his clothing; and he will go out from there in peace.
我要在埃及神的庙中使火着起,巴比伦王要将庙宇焚烧,神像掳去;他要得埃及地,好像牧人披上外衣,从那里安然而去。
13 And the stone pillars of Beth-shemesh in the land of Egypt will be broken by him, and the houses of the gods of Egypt burned with fire.
他必打碎埃及地伯·示麦的柱像,用火焚烧埃及神的庙宇。’”
