耶利米书 44

有临到耶利米的话，论及一切住在埃及地的犹大人，就是住在密夺、答比匿、挪弗、巴忒罗境内的犹大人，说：

yǒu lín dào yē lì mǐ de huà ， lùn jí yí qiè zhù zài āi jí dì de yóu dà rén ， jiù shì zhù zài mì duó 、 dá bǐ nì 、 nuó fú 、 bā tè luó jìng nèi de yóu dà rén ， shuō ：

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

「万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我所降与耶路撒冷和犹大各城的一切灾祸你们都看见了。那些城邑今日荒凉，无人居住；

「 wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ suǒ jiàng yǔ yē lù sā lěng hé yóu dà gè chéng de yí qiè zāi huò nǐ men dōu kàn jiàn le 。 nà xiē chéng yì jīn rì huāng liáng ， wú rén jū zhù ；

“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,

这是因居民所行的恶，去烧香事奉别神，就是他们和你们，并你们列祖所不认识的神，惹我发怒。

zhè shì yīn jū mín suǒ xíng de è ， qù shāo xiāng shì fèng bié shén ， jiù shì tā men hé nǐ men ， bìng nǐ men liè zǔ suǒ bú rèn shi de shén ， rě wǒ fā nù 。

because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.

我从早起来差遣我的仆人众先知去说，你们切不要行我所厌恶这可憎之事。

wǒ cóng zǎo qǐ lái chāi qiǎn wǒ de pú rén zhòng xiān zhī qù shuō ， nǐ men qiè bú yào xíng wǒ suǒ yàn wù zhè kě zēng zhī shì 。

However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.”

他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，不转离恶事，仍向别神烧香。

tā men què bù tīng cóng ， bú cè ěr ér tīng ， bù zhuǎn lí è shì ， réng xiàng bié shén shāo xiāng 。

But they didn’t listen and didn’t incline their ear. They didn’t turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods.

因此，我的怒气和忿怒都倒出来，在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷的街市上，如火着起，以致都荒废凄凉，正如今日一样。

yīn cǐ ， wǒ de nù qì hé fèn nù dōu dǎo chū lái ， zài yóu dài chéng yì zhōng hé yē lù sā lěng de jiē shì shàng ， rú huǒ zhe qǐ ， yǐ zhì dōu huāng fèi qī liáng ， zhèng rú jīn rì yí yàng 。

Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’

现在耶和华—万军之 神、以色列的 神如此说：你们为何作这大恶自害己命，使你们的男人、妇女、婴孩，和吃奶的都从犹大中剪除、不留一人呢？

xiàn zài yē hé huá — wàn jūn zhī shén 、 yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ men wèi hé zuò zhè dà è zì hài jǐ mìng ， shǐ nǐ men de nán rén 、 fù nǚ 、 yīng hái ， hé chī nǎi de dōu cóng yóu dà zhōng jiǎn chú 、 bù liú yì rén ne ？

“Therefore now the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining,

就是因你们手所做的，在所去寄居的埃及地向别神烧香惹我发怒，使你们被剪除，在天下万国中令人咒诅羞辱。

jiù shì yīn nǐ men shǒu suǒ zuò de ， zài suǒ qù jì jū de āi jí dì xiàng bié shén shāo xiāng rě wǒ fā nù ， shǐ nǐ men bèi jiǎn chú ， zài tiān xià wàn guó zhōng lìng rén zhòu zǔ xiū rǔ 。

in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

你们列祖的恶行，犹大列王和他们后妃的恶行，你们自己和你们妻子的恶行，就是在犹大地、耶路撒冷街上所行的，你们都忘了吗？

nǐ men liè zǔ de è xíng ， yóu dà liè wáng hé tā men hòu fēi de è xíng ， nǐ men zì jǐ hé nǐ men qī zǐ de è xíng ， jiù shì zài yóu dà dì 、 yē lù sā lěng jiē shàng suǒ xíng de ， nǐ men dōu wàng le ma ？

Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

到如今还没有懊悔，没有惧怕，没有遵行我在你们和你们列祖面前所设立的法度律例。

dào rú jīn hái méi yǒu ào huǐ ， méi yǒu jù pà ， méi yǒu zūn xíng wǒ zài nǐ men hé nǐ men liè zǔ miàn qián suǒ shè lì de fǎ dù lǜ lì 。

They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’

「所以万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我必向你们变脸降灾，以致剪除犹大众人。

「 suǒ yǐ wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ bì xiàng nǐ men biàn liǎn jiàng zāi ， yǐ zhì jiǎn chú yóu dà zhòng rén 。

“Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.

那定意进入埃及地、在那里寄居的，就是所剩下的犹大人，我必使他们尽都灭绝，必在埃及地仆倒，必因刀剑饥荒灭绝；从最小的到至大的都必遭刀剑饥荒而死，以致令人辱骂、惊骇、咒诅、羞辱。

nà dìng yì jìn rù āi jí dì 、 zài nà lǐ jì jū de ， jiù shì suǒ shèng xià de yóu dà rén ， wǒ bì shǐ tā men jìn dōu miè jué ， bì zài āi jí dì pú dǎo ， bì yīn dāo jiàn jī huāng miè jué ； cóng zuì xiǎo de dào zhì dà de dōu bì zāo dāo jiàn jī huāng ér sǐ ， yǐ zhì lìng rén rǔ mà 、 jīng hài 、 zhòu zǔ 、 xiū rǔ 。

I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach.

我怎样用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫刑罚耶路撒冷，也必照样刑罚那些住在埃及地的犹大人；

wǒ zěn yàng yòng dāo jiàn 、 jī huāng 、 wēn yì xíng fá yē lù sā lěng ， yě bì zhào yàng xíng fá nà xiē zhù zài āi jí dì de yóu dà rén ；

For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;

甚至那进入埃及地寄居的，就是所剩下的犹大人，都不得逃脱，也不得存留归回犹大地。他们心中甚想归回居住之地；除了逃脱的以外，一个都不能归回。」

shèn zhì nà jìn rù āi jí dì jì jū de ， jiù shì suǒ shèng xià de yóu dà rén ， dōu bù dé táo tuō ， yě bù dé cún liú guī huí yóu dà dì 。 tā men xīn zhōng shèn xiǎng guī huí jū zhù zhī dì ； chú le táo tuō de yǐ wài ， yí gè dōu bù néng guī huí 。」

so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’”

那些住在埃及地巴忒罗知道自己妻子向别神烧香的，与旁边站立的众妇女，聚集成群，回答耶利米说：

nà xiē zhù zài āi jí dì bā tè luó zhī dào zì jǐ qī zǐ xiàng bié shén shāo xiāng de ， yǔ páng biān zhàn lì de zhòng fù nǚ ， jù jí chéng qún ， huí dá yē lì mǐ shuō ：

Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

「论到你奉耶和华的名向我们所说的话，我们必不听从。

「 lùn dào nǐ fèng yē hé huá de míng xiàng wǒ men suǒ shuō de huà ， wǒ men bì bù tīng cóng 。

“As for the word that you have spoken to us in the LORD’s name, we will not listen to you.

我们定要成就我们口中所出的一切话，向天后烧香、浇奠祭，按着我们与我们列祖、君王、首领在犹大的城邑中和耶路撒冷的街市上素常所行的一样；因为那时我们吃饱饭、享福乐，并不见灾祸。

wǒ men dìng yào chéng jiù wǒ men kǒu zhōng suǒ chū de yí qiè huà ， xiàng tiān hòu shāo xiāng 、 jiāo diàn jì ， àn zhe wǒ men yǔ wǒ men liè zǔ 、 jūn wáng 、 shǒu lǐng zài yóu dà de chéng yì zhōng hé yē lù sā lěng de jiē shì shàng sù cháng suǒ xíng de yí yàng ； yīn wèi nà shí wǒ men chī bǎo fàn 、 xiǎng fú lè ， bìng bú jiàn zāi huò 。

But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

自从我们停止向天后烧香、浇奠祭，我们倒缺乏一切，又因刀剑饥荒灭绝。」

zì cóng wǒ men tíng zhǐ xiàng tiān hòu shāo xiāng 、 jiāo diàn jì ， wǒ men dǎo quē fá yí qiè ， yòu yīn dāo jiàn jī huāng miè jué 。」

But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”

妇女说：「我们向天后烧香、浇奠祭，做天后像的饼供奉她，向她浇奠祭，是外乎我们的丈夫吗？」

fù nǚ shuō ：「 wǒ men xiàng tiān hòu shāo xiāng 、 jiāo diàn jì ， zuò tiān hòu xiàng de bǐng gòng fèng tā ， xiàng tā jiāo diàn jì ， shì wài hū wǒ men de zhàng fu ma ？」

The women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”

耶利米对一切那样回答他的男人妇女说：

yē lì mǐ duì yí qiè nà yàng huí dá tā de nán rén fù nǚ shuō ：

Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,

「你们与你们列祖、君王、首领，并国内的百姓，在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街市上所烧的香，耶和华岂不记念，心中岂不思想吗？

「 nǐ men yǔ nǐ men liè zǔ 、 jūn wáng 、 shǒu lǐng ， bìng guó nèi de bǎi xìng ， zài yóu dài chéng yì zhōng hé yē lù sā lěng jiē shì shàng suǒ shāo de xiāng ， yē hé huá qǐ bú jì niàn ， xīn zhōng qǐ bù sī xiǎng ma ？

“The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t the LORD remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?

耶和华因你们所作的恶、所行可憎的事，不能再容忍，所以你们的地荒凉，令人惊骇咒诅，无人居住，正如今日一样。

yē hé huá yīn nǐ men suǒ zuò de è 、 suǒ xíng kě zēng de shì ， bù néng zài róng rěn ， suǒ yǐ nǐ men de dì huāng liáng ， lìng rén jīng hài zhòu zǔ ， wú rén jū zhù ， zhèng rú jīn rì yí yàng 。

Thus the LORD could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.

你们烧香，得罪耶和华，没有听从他的话，没有遵行他的律法、条例、法度，所以你们遭遇这灾祸，正如今日一样。」

nǐ men shāo xiāng ， dé zuì yē hé huá ， méi yǒu tīng cóng tā de huà ， méi yǒu zūn xíng tā de lǜ fǎ 、 tiáo lì 、 fǎ dù ， suǒ yǐ nǐ men zāo yù zhè zāi huò ， zhèng rú jīn rì yí yàng 。」

Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.”

耶利米又对众民和众妇女说：「你们在埃及地的一切犹大人当听耶和华的话。

yē lì mǐ yòu duì zhòng mín hé zhòng fù nǚ shuō ：「 nǐ men zài āi jí dì de yí qiè yóu dà rén dāng tīng yē hé huá de huà 。

Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt!

万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：你们和你们的妻都口中说、手里做，说：『我们定要偿还所许的愿，向天后烧香、浇奠祭。』现在你们只管坚定所许的愿而偿还吧！

wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ men hé nǐ men de qī dōu kǒu zhōng shuō 、 shǒu lǐ zuò ， shuō ：『 wǒ men dìng yào cháng huán suǒ xǔ de yuàn ， xiàng tiān hòu shāo xiāng 、 jiāo diàn jì 。』 xiàn zài nǐ men zhǐ guǎn jiān dìng suǒ xǔ de yuàn ér cháng huán ba ！

The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’

所以你们住在埃及地的一切犹大人当听耶和华的话。耶和华说：我指着我的大名起誓，在埃及全地，我的名不再被犹大一个人的口称呼说：『我指着主—永生的耶和华起誓。』

suǒ yǐ nǐ men zhù zài āi jí dì de yí qiè yóu dà rén dāng tīng yē hé huá de huà 。 yē hé huá shuō ： wǒ zhǐ zhe wǒ de dà míng qǐ shì ， zài āi jí quán dì ， wǒ de míng bú zài bèi yóu dà yí gè rén de kǒu chēng hu shuō ：『 wǒ zhǐ zhe zhǔ — yǒng shēng de yē hé huá qǐ shì 。』

“Therefore hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have sworn by my great name,’ says the LORD, ‘that my name will no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord GOD lives.”

我向他们留意降祸不降福；在埃及地的一切犹大人必因刀剑、饥荒所灭，直到灭尽。

wǒ xiàng tā men liú yì jiàng huò bú jiàng fú ； zài āi jí dì de yí qiè yóu dà rén bì yīn dāo jiàn 、 jī huāng suǒ miè ， zhí dào miè jìn 。

Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.

脱离刀剑、从埃及地归回犹大地的人数很少；那进入埃及地要在那里寄居的，就是所剩下的犹大人，必知道是谁的话立得住，是我的话呢？是他们的话呢？

tuō lí dāo jiàn 、 cóng āi jí dì guī huí yóu dà dì de rén shù hěn shǎo ； nà jìn rù āi jí dì yào zài nà lǐ jì jū de ， jiù shì suǒ shèng xià de yóu dà rén ， bì zhī dào shì shuí de huà lì dé zhù ， shì wǒ de huà ne ？ shì tā men de huà ne ？

Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number. All the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.

耶和华说：我在这地方刑罚你们，必有预兆，使你们知道我降祸与你们的话必要立得住。

yē hé huá shuō ： wǒ zài zhè dì fāng xíng fá nǐ men ， bì yǒu yù zhào ， shǐ nǐ men zhī dào wǒ jiàng huò yǔ nǐ men de huà bì yào lì dé zhù 。

“‘This will be the sign to you,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for evil.’

耶和华如此说：我必将埃及王法老合弗拉交在他仇敌和寻索其命的人手中，像我将犹大王西底家交在他仇敌和寻索其命的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒手中一样。」

yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ bì jiāng āi jí wáng fǎ lǎo hé fú lā jiāo zài tā chóu dí hé xún suǒ qí mìng de rén shǒu zhōng ， xiàng wǒ jiāng yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā jiāo zài tā chóu dí hé xún suǒ qí mìng de bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā shǒu zhōng yí yàng 。」

The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.’”
