Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens hethene men;
耶和華論列國的話臨到先知耶利米。
2 to Egipt, ayens the oost of Farao Nechao, kyng of Egipt, that was bisidis the flood Eufrates, in Charchamys, whom Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, smoot, in the fourthe yeer of Joachym, sone of Josie, kyng of Juda.
論到關乎埃及王法老尼哥的軍隊：這軍隊安營在幼發拉底河邊的迦基米施，是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒在猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年所打敗的。
3 Make ye redi scheeld and targat, and go ye forth to batel.
你們要預備大小盾牌， 往前上陣。
4 Ioyne ye horsis, and stie, ye knyytis; stonde ye in helmes, polische ye speris, clothe ye you in haburiowns.
你們套上車， 騎上馬！ 頂盔站立， 磨槍貫甲！
5 What therfor? Y siy hem dredeful, and turnynge the backis, the stronge men of hem slayn; and thei fledden swiftli, and bihelden not; drede was on ech side, seith the Lord.
我為何看見他們驚惶轉身退後呢？ 他們的勇士打敗了， 急忙逃跑，並不回頭； 驚嚇四圍都有！ 這是耶和華說的。
6 A swift man schal not fle, and a strong man gesse not hym silf to be saued; at the north, bisidis the flood Eufrates, thei weren ouer comun, and fellen doun.
不要容快跑的逃避； 不要容勇士逃脫； 他們在北方幼發拉底河邊絆跌仆倒。
7 Who is this, that stieth as a flood, and hise swelewis wexen greet as of floodis?
像尼羅河漲發， 像江河之水翻騰的是誰呢？
8 Egipte stiede at the licnesse of a flood, and hise wawis schulen be mouyd as floodis; and it schal seie, Y schal stie, and hile the erthe; Y schal leese the citee, and dwelleris therof.
埃及像尼羅河漲發， 像江河的水翻騰。 他說：我要漲發遮蓋遍地； 我要毀滅城邑和其中的居民。
9 Stie ye on horsis, and make ye ful out ioie in charis; and stronge men, come forth, Ethiopie and Libie, holdynge scheeld, and Lidii, takynge and schetynge arowis.
馬匹上去吧！ 車輛急行吧！ 勇士，就是手拿盾牌的古實人和弗人， 並拉弓的路德族，都出去吧！
10 Forsothe that dai of the Lord God of oostis is a dai of veniaunce, that he take veniaunce of hise enemyes; the swerd schal deuoure, and schal be fillid, and schal greetli be fillid with the blood of hem; for whi the slayn sacrifice of the Lord of oostis is in the lond of the north, bisidis the flood Eufrates.
那日是主－萬軍之耶和華報仇的日子， 要向敵人報仇。 刀劍必吞吃得飽， 飲血飲足； 因為主－萬軍之耶和華 在北方幼發拉底河邊有獻祭的事。
11 Thou virgyn, the douyter of Egipt, stie in to Galaad, and take medicyn. In veyn thou schalt multiplie medecyns; helthe schal not be to thee.
埃及的民哪， 可以上基列取乳香去； 你雖多服良藥， 總是徒然，不得治好。
12 Hethene men herden thi schenschipe, and thi yellyng fillide the erthe; for a strong man hurtlide ayens a strong man, and bothe fellen doun togidere.
列國聽見你的羞辱， 遍地滿了你的哀聲； 勇士與勇士彼此相碰， 一齊跌倒。
13 The word which the Lord spak to Jeremye, the profete, on that that Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, was to comynge, and to smytynge the lond of Egipt.
耶和華對先知耶利米所說的話，論到巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒要來攻擊埃及地：
14 Telle ye to Egipt, and make ye herd in Magdalo, and sowne it in Memphis, and seie ye in Taphnys, Stonde thou, and make thee redi, for a swerd schal deuoure tho thingis that ben bi thi cumpas.
你們要傳揚在埃及，宣告在密奪， 報告在挪弗、答比匿說： 要站起出隊，自作準備， 因為刀劍在你四圍施行吞滅的事。
15 Whi hath thi strong man wexe rotun? He stood not, for the Lord vndurturnede hym.
你的壯士為何被沖去呢？ 他們站立不住； 因為耶和華驅逐他們，
16 He multipliede falleris, and a man felle doun to his neiybore; and thei schulen seie, Rise ye, and turne we ayen to oure puple, and to the lond of oure birthe, fro the face of swerd of the culuer.
使多人絆跌； 他們也彼此撞倒，說： 起來吧！我們再往本民本地去， 好躲避欺壓的刀劍。
17 Clepe ye the name of Farao, kyng of Egipt; the tyme hath brouyt noise.
他們在那裏喊叫說： 埃及王法老不過是個聲音； 他已錯過所定的時候了。
18 Y lyue, seith the kyng, the Lord of oostis is his name; for it schal come as Thabor in hillis, and as Carmele in the see.
君王－名為萬軍之耶和華的說： 我指着我的永生起誓： 尼布甲尼撒來的勢派 必像他泊在眾山之中， 像迦密在海邊一樣。
19 Thou dwelleresse, the douyter of Egipt, make to thee vessels of passyng ouer; for whi Memfis schal be in to wildirnesse, and schal be forsakun vnhabitable.
住在埃及的民哪， 要預備擄去時所用的物件； 因為挪弗必成為荒場， 且被燒毀，無人居住。
20 Egipt is a schapli cow calf, and fair; a prickere fro the north schal come to it.
埃及是肥美的母牛犢； 但出於北方的毀滅來到了！來到了！
21 Also the hirid men therof, that liueden as caluys maad fatte in the myddis therof, ben turned, and fledden togidere, and miyten not stonde; for the dai of sleynge of hem schal come on hem, the tyme of the visityng of hem.
其中的雇勇好像圈裏的肥牛犢， 他們轉身退後， 一齊逃跑，站立不住； 因為他們遭難的日子、 追討的時候已經臨到。
22 The vois of hem schal sowne as of bras, for thei schulen haste with oost, and with axis thei schulen come to it. As men kittynge doun trees thei kittiden doun the forest therof,
其中的聲音好像蛇行一樣。 敵人要成隊而來，如砍伐樹木的手拿斧子攻擊他。
23 seith the Lord, which mai not be noumbrid; thei ben multiplied ouer locustis, and no noumbre is in hem.
耶和華說： 埃及的樹林雖然不能尋察， 敵人卻要砍伐， 因他們多於蝗蟲，不可勝數。
24 The douytir of Egipt is schent, and bitakun in to the hond of the puple of the north,
埃及的民必然蒙羞， 必交在北方人的手中。
25 seide the Lord of oostis, God of Israel. Lo! Y schal visite on the noise of Alisaundre, and on Farao, and on Egipt, and on the goddis therof, and on the kyngis therof, and on hem that tristen in hym.
萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝說：「我必刑罰挪的亞捫和法老，並埃及與埃及的神，以及君王，也必刑罰法老和倚靠他的人。
26 And Y schal yyue hem in to the hondis of men that seken the lijf of hem, and in to the hondis of Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, and in to the hondis of hise seruauntis; and aftir these thingis it schal be enhabitid, as in the formere daies, seith the Lord.
我要將他們交付尋索其命之人的手和巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒與他臣僕的手；以後埃及必再有人居住，與從前一樣。這是耶和華說的。」
27 And thou, Jacob, my seruaunt, drede thou not, and Israel, drede thou not; for lo! Y schal make thee saaf fro fer place, and thi seed fro the lond of his caitiftee; and Jacob schal turne ayen, and schal reste, and schal haue prosperite, and noon schal be, that schal make hym aferd.
我的僕人雅各啊，不要懼怕！ 以色列啊，不要驚惶！ 因我要從遠方拯救你， 從被擄到之地拯救你的後裔。 雅各必回來，得享平靖安逸， 無人使他害怕。
28 And Jacob, my seruaunt, nyle thou drede, seith the Lord, for Y am with thee; for Y schal waste alle folkis, to whiche Y castide thee out; but Y schal not waste thee, but Y schal chastise thee in doom, and Y schal not spare thee as innocent.
我的僕人雅各啊，不要懼怕！ 因我與你同在。 我要將我所趕你到的那些國滅絕淨盡， 卻不將你滅絕淨盡， 倒要從寬懲治你， 萬不能不罰你。 這是耶和華說的。
