耶利米書 46
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
埃及在迦基米施受挫
46 耶和華論列國的話臨到耶利米先知。
2 論到埃及,關於埃及王尼哥法老的軍隊,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約西亞的兒子猶大王約雅敬第四年所打敗的。
3 你們要預備大小盾牌,
往前上陣,
4 套上車,
騎上馬!
頂盔站立,
磨槍披甲!
5 我為何看見他們驚惶,
轉身退後呢?
他們的勇士打敗仗,
急忙逃跑,並不回頭;
四圍都有驚嚇!
這是耶和華說的。
6 不要容快跑的逃避,
也不要容勇士逃脫[a];
在北方幼發拉底河邊,
他們絆跌仆倒。
7 這是誰,像尼羅河漲溢,
如江河的水翻騰呢?
8 埃及像尼羅河漲溢,
如江河的水翻騰。
它說:「我要漲溢遮蓋全地;
我要毀滅城鎮和其中的居民。
9 馬匹啊,上去吧!
戰車啊,要疾行!
手拿盾牌的古實和弗[b]的勇士,
擅長拉弓的路德人,前進吧!」
10 那日是萬軍之主耶和華報仇的日子,
要向敵人報仇。
刀劍必吞吃飽足,
飲血滿足;
因為在北方幼發拉底河邊,
有祭物獻給萬軍之主耶和華。
11 少女埃及[c]啊,
要上基列去取乳香;
你雖服用許多藥,
還是徒然,不得治好。
12 列國聽見你的羞辱,
遍地滿了你的哀聲;
勇士與勇士彼此相撞,
二人一起跌倒。
尼布甲尼撒來犯
13 以下是耶和華對耶利米先知說的話,論到巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒要來攻擊埃及地。
14 你們要在埃及傳揚,在密奪報告,
在挪弗、答比匿宣告說:
「要擺好陣勢,預備作戰,
因為刀劍在你四圍施行吞滅。」
15 你的壯士為何被掃除呢?
他們站立不住,[d]
因為耶和華驅逐他們;
16 他使多人絆跌,彼此撞倒。
他們說:「起來,讓我們回到自己的同胞、
回到自己的出生地去,
好躲避欺壓的刀劍。」
17 他們在那裏稱埃及王法老[e]為
「錯失良機的誇大者」。
18 名為萬軍之耶和華的君王說:
我指着我的永生起誓:
「尼布甲尼撒[f]來的時候,
必像眾山之中的他泊,
像海邊的迦密。」
19 住在埃及[g]的啊,
要預備被擄時需用的物品;
因為挪弗必成為廢墟,
被燒燬,無人居住。
20 埃及是肥美的母牛犢;
但來自北方的牛虻來到了!來到了![h]
21 它的傭兵好像圈裏的肥牛犢,
他們轉身退後,
一齊逃跑,站立不住;
因為他們遭難的日子、
受罰的時刻已經來臨。
22 它的聲音好像蛇在滑行。
敵人要成隊而來,如砍伐樹木的人,
手拿斧頭攻擊它。
23 雖然它的樹林不易穿過,
敵人卻要砍伐,
因敵人比蝗蟲還多,不可勝數。
這是耶和華說的。
24 埃及必然蒙羞,
被交在北方人的手中。
25 萬軍之耶和華—以色列的 神說:「看哪,我要懲罰挪[i]的亞捫[j]和法老、埃及和它的神明,以及君王,也要懲罰法老和倚靠他的人。 26 我要將他們交給尋索其命之人的手和巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒與他臣僕的手。但埃及日後必再有人居住,與從前一樣。這是耶和華說的。」
耶和華要救他的子民
27 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,
從被擄之地拯救你的後裔。
雅各必回來,得享平靜安逸,
無人令他害怕。
28 我的僕人雅各啊,不要懼怕!
因我與你同在。
我要將那些國滅絕淨盡,
就是我趕你去的那些國;
卻不將你滅絕淨盡,
倒要從寬懲治你,
但絕不能不罰你。
這是耶和華說的。

Jeremiah 46
King James Version
46 The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the Lord.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
10 For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13 The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.
15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the Lord did drive them.
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
22 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
26 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord.
27 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
關於埃及的預言
46 耶和華把有關列國的事告訴了耶利米先知。 2 猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬執政第四年,埃及王法老尼哥的軍隊在幼發拉底河邊的迦基米施被巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒擊敗。論到埃及,耶和華說:
3 「要預備大小盾牌,
衝向戰場。
4 要套好戰車,
騎上戰馬,
擦亮矛槍,
頂盔貫甲。
5 可是,我看見的是什麼呢?
他們驚慌後退,
勇士敗逃,不敢回頭,
驚恐不安。
這是耶和華說的。
6 善跑者跑不掉,
強壯者逃不了,
他們仆倒在北面的幼發拉底河邊。
7 「那如尼羅河漲溢,
如江水奔騰的是誰呢?
8 埃及如尼羅河漲溢,
如江水奔騰。
她說,『我要漲溢,淹沒大地,
毀滅城邑和其中的居民。』
9 戰馬奔馳吧!
戰車疾駛吧!
勇士啊,就是那些手拿盾牌的古實人和弗人以及箭法嫺熟的呂底亞人啊,出戰吧!
10 因為這是主——萬軍之耶和華向敵人報仇的日子。
刀劍必吞噬他們,
痛飲他們的血,
因為要在北方的幼發拉底河邊向主——萬軍之耶和華獻祭。
11 埃及人啊,
去基列取乳香吧!
然而,再多的良藥也無法醫治你們。
12 你們的恥辱傳遍列國,
你們的哀哭響徹大地,
你們的勇士彼此碰撞,
倒在一起。」
13 論到巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒要來攻打埃及的事,耶和華對耶利米先知說:
14 「你要在埃及宣佈,在密奪、挪弗和答比匿宣告,
『你們要準備戰鬥,
因為刀劍要吞噬你們周圍的人。』
15 你們的勇士為何仆倒?
他們無法堅立,
因為耶和華擊倒了他們,
16 使他們跌跌絆絆,紛紛倒下。
他們說,『起來,我們回到同胞那裡,回到故鄉吧,
好躲避敵人的刀劍。』
17 他們在那裡喊叫,
『埃及王法老只會虛張聲勢,
他已錯失良機。』」
18 名叫萬軍之耶和華的王說:
「我憑我的永恆起誓,
將有一位要來,
他的氣勢如群山中的他泊山,
又像海邊的迦密山。
19 住在埃及的子民啊,
收拾行裝準備流亡吧!
因為挪弗必被燒毀,
淪為廢墟,杳無人跡。
20 「埃及像頭肥美的母牛犢,
但從北方卻來了牛虻。
21 埃及的傭兵好像肥牛犢,
都轉身逃之夭夭,無力抵擋,
因為他們遭難、受罰的日子到了。
22 「敵軍進攻的時候,
埃及必像蛇一樣嘶嘶地溜走。
敵軍必拿著斧頭蜂擁而來,
像樵夫砍樹一樣攻擊他們。
23 埃及的人口雖然稠密如林,
敵軍必像無數的蝗蟲一樣掃平他們。
這是耶和華說的。
24 埃及人必蒙羞,
落在北方人的手中。」
25 以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說:「看啊,我要懲罰提比斯的神明亞捫和埃及的其他神明、法老、首領以及依靠法老的人。 26 我要把他們交在想殺他們的巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒及其官長手中。然而,日後埃及必再有人居住,如往日一樣。這是耶和華說的。
27 「我的僕人雅各啊,不要害怕!
以色列人啊,不要驚慌!
因為我要從遠方把你們救回來,
使你們從流亡之地歸回。
你們必重返家園,安享太平,
無人攪擾。
28 我的僕人雅各啊,不要害怕,
因為我與你同在。
我曾使你流亡到列國,
我必徹底毀滅列國,
但不會徹底毀滅你,
也不會饒過你,
我必公正地懲治你。
這是耶和華說的。」
Jeremiah 46
New International Version
A Message About Egypt
46 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations:(A)
2 Concerning Egypt:(B)
This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Necho(C) king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish(D) on the Euphrates(E) River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(F) son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 “Prepare your shields,(G) both large and small,
and march out for battle!
4 Harness the horses,
mount the steeds!
Take your positions
with helmets on!
Polish(H) your spears,
put on your armor!(I)
5 What do I see?
They are terrified,
they are retreating,
their warriors are defeated.
They flee(J) in haste
without looking back,
and there is terror(K) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
6 “The swift cannot flee(L)
nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates(M)
they stumble and fall.(N)
7 “Who is this that rises like the Nile,
like rivers of surging waters?(O)
8 Egypt rises like the Nile,(P)
like rivers of surging waters.
She says, ‘I will rise and cover the earth;
I will destroy cities and their people.’(Q)
9 Charge, you horses!
Drive furiously, you charioteers!(R)
March on, you warriors—men of Cush[a](S) and Put who carry shields,
men of Lydia(T) who draw the bow.
10 But that day(U) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
a day of vengeance(V), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour(W) till it is satisfied,
till it has quenched its thirst with blood.(X)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice(Y)
in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.(Z)
11 “Go up to Gilead and get balm,(AA)
Virgin(AB) Daughter Egypt.
But you try many medicines in vain;
there is no healing(AC) for you.
12 The nations will hear of your shame;
your cries will fill the earth.
One warrior will stumble over another;
both will fall(AD) down together.”
13 This is the message the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon(AE) to attack Egypt:(AF)
14 “Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol;
proclaim it also in Memphis(AG) and Tahpanhes:(AH)
‘Take your positions and get ready,
for the sword devours(AI) those around you.’
15 Why will your warriors be laid low?
They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.(AJ)
16 They will stumble(AK) repeatedly;
they will fall(AL) over each other.
They will say, ‘Get up, let us go back
to our own people(AM) and our native lands,
away from the sword of the oppressor.’(AN)
17 There they will exclaim,
‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise;(AO)
he has missed his opportunity.(AP)’
18 “As surely as I live,” declares the King,(AQ)
whose name is the Lord Almighty,
“one will come who is like Tabor(AR) among the mountains,
like Carmel(AS) by the sea.
19 Pack your belongings for exile,(AT)
you who live in Egypt,
for Memphis(AU) will be laid waste(AV)
and lie in ruins without inhabitant.
20 “Egypt is a beautiful heifer,
but a gadfly is coming
against her from the north.(AW)
21 The mercenaries(AX) in her ranks
are like fattened calves.(AY)
They too will turn and flee(AZ) together,
they will not stand their ground,
for the day(BA) of disaster is coming upon them,
the time(BB) for them to be punished.
22 Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent
as the enemy advances in force;
they will come against her with axes,
like men who cut down trees.(BC)
23 They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
“dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,(BD)
they cannot be counted.
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
given into the hands of the people of the north.(BE)”
25 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “I am about to bring punishment on Amon god of Thebes,(BF) on Pharaoh,(BG) on Egypt and her gods(BH) and her kings, and on those who rely(BI) on Pharaoh. 26 I will give them into the hands(BJ) of those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar king(BK) of Babylon and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be inhabited(BL) as in times past,” declares the Lord.
27 “Do not be afraid,(BM) Jacob(BN) my servant;(BO)
do not be dismayed, Israel.
I will surely save you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.(BP)
Jacob will again have peace and security,
and no one will make him afraid.
28 Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
for I am with you,”(BQ) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy(BR) all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”
