耶利米书 46
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
关于埃及的预言
46 耶和华把有关列国的事告诉了耶利米先知。 2 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬执政第四年，埃及王法老尼哥的军队在幼发拉底河边的迦基米施被巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒击败。论到埃及，耶和华说：
3 “要预备大小盾牌，
冲向战场。
4 要套好战车，
骑上战马，
擦亮矛枪，
顶盔贯甲。
5 可是，我看见的是什么呢？
他们惊慌后退，
勇士败逃，不敢回头，
惊恐不安。
这是耶和华说的。
6 善跑者跑不掉，
强壮者逃不了，
他们扑倒在北面的幼发拉底河边。
7 “那如尼罗河涨溢，
如江水奔腾的是谁呢？
8 埃及如尼罗河涨溢，
如江水奔腾。
她说，‘我要涨溢，淹没大地，
毁灭城邑和其中的居民。’
9 战马奔驰吧！
战车疾驶吧！
勇士啊，就是那些手拿盾牌的古实人和弗人以及箭法娴熟的吕底亚人啊，出战吧！
10 因为这是主——万军之耶和华向敌人报仇的日子。
刀剑必吞噬他们，
痛饮他们的血，
因为要在北方的幼发拉底河边向主——万军之耶和华献祭。
11 埃及人啊，
去基列取乳香吧！
然而，再多的良药也无法医治你们。
12 你们的耻辱传遍列国，
你们的哀哭响彻大地，
你们的勇士彼此碰撞，
倒在一起。”
13 论到巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒要来攻打埃及的事，耶和华对耶利米先知说：
14 “你要在埃及宣布，在密夺、挪弗和答比匿宣告，
‘你们要准备战斗，
因为刀剑要吞噬你们周围的人。’
15 你们的勇士为何扑倒？
他们无法坚立，
因为耶和华击倒了他们，
16 使他们跌跌绊绊，纷纷倒下。
他们说，‘起来，我们回到同胞那里，回到故乡吧，
好躲避敌人的刀剑。’
17 他们在那里喊叫，
‘埃及王法老只会虚张声势，
他已错失良机。’”
18 名叫万军之耶和华的王说：
“我凭我的永恒起誓，
将有一位要来，
他的气势如群山中的他泊山，
又像海边的迦密山。
19 住在埃及的子民啊，
收拾行装准备流亡吧！
因为挪弗必被烧毁，
沦为废墟，杳无人迹。
20 “埃及像头肥美的母牛犊，
但从北方却来了牛虻。
21 埃及的佣兵好像肥牛犊，
都转身逃之夭夭，无力抵挡，
因为他们遭难、受罚的日子到了。
22 “敌军进攻的时候，
埃及必像蛇一样嘶嘶地溜走。
敌军必拿着斧头蜂拥而来，
像樵夫砍树一样攻击他们。
23 埃及的人口虽然稠密如林，
敌军必像无数的蝗虫一样扫平他们。
这是耶和华说的。
24 埃及人必蒙羞，
落在北方人的手中。”
25 以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说：“看啊，我要惩罚提比斯的神明亚扪和埃及的其他神明、法老、首领以及依靠法老的人。 26 我要把他们交在想杀他们的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒及其官长手中。然而，日后埃及必再有人居住，如往日一样。这是耶和华说的。
27 “我的仆人雅各啊，不要害怕！
以色列人啊，不要惊慌！
因为我要从远方把你们救回来，
使你们从流亡之地归回。
你们必重返家园，安享太平，
无人搅扰。
28 我的仆人雅各啊，不要害怕，
因为我与你同在。
我曾使你流亡到列国，
我必彻底毁灭列国，
但不会彻底毁灭你，
也不会饶过你，
我必公正地惩治你。
这是耶和华说的。”
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.
Jeremiah 46
Young's Literal Translation
46 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
2 For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 `Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.
4 Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed -- They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
6 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.
7 Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
8 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
9 Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling -- treading the bow.
10 And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.
12 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen -- both of them!'
13 The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:
14 `Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
15 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.
16 He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.
17 They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.
18 I live -- an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea -- he cometh in,
19 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.
20 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.
22 Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.
23 They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah -- for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
24 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,
26 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
27 And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
28 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah -- for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'
