Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt —in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis —and in the land of Pathros:
1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：
2“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: You have seen all the disaster that I brought against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, they lie today in ruins and desolation
2「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；
3because of the evil they have done. They provoked Me to anger by continuing to burn incense and to serve other gods that neither they nor you nor your fathers ever knew.
3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。
4Yet I sent you all My servants the prophets again and again, saying: ‘Do not do this detestable thing that I hate.’
4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。
5But they did not listen or incline their ears; they did not turn from their wickedness or stop burning incense to other gods.
5他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，不转离恶事，仍向别神烧香。
6Therefore My wrath and anger poured out and burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, so that they have become the desolate ruin they are today.
6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。
7So now, this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Why are you doing such great harm to yourselves by cutting off from Judah man and woman, child and infant, leaving yourselves without a remnant?
7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？
8Why are you provoking Me to anger by the work of your hands by burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to reside? As a result, you will be cut off and will become an object of cursing and reproach among all the nations of the earth.
8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。
9Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers and of the kings of Judah and their wives, as well as the wickedness that you and your wives committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
9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？
10To this day they have not humbled themselves or shown reverence, nor have they followed My instruction or the statutes that I set before you and your fathers.
10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。
11Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will set My face to bring disaster and to cut off all Judah.
11「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。
12And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have resolved to go to the land of Egypt to reside there; they will meet their end. They will all fall by the sword or be consumed by famine. From the least to the greatest, they will die by sword or famine; and they will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and reproach.
12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。
13I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem, by sword and famine and plague,
13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；
14so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone to reside in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the land of Judah, where they long to return and live; for none will return except a few fugitives.”
14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。」
15Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by—a great assembly—along with all the people living in the land of Egypt and in Pathros, said to Jeremiah,
15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：
16“As for the word you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you!
16「论到你奉耶和华的名向我们所说的话，我们必不听从。
17Instead, we will do everything we vowed to do: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and good things, and we saw no disaster.
17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。
18But from the time we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been perishing by sword and famine.”
18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。」
19“Moreover,” said the women, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”
19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？」
20Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him,
20耶利米 对一切那样回答他的男人妇女说：
21“As for the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the LORD not remember and bring this to mind?
21「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？
22So the LORD could no longer endure the evil deeds and detestable acts you committed, and your land became a desolation, a horror, and an object of cursing, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
22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。
23Because you burned incense and sinned against the LORD, and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in His instruction, His statutes, and His testimonies, this disaster has befallen you, as you see today.”
23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。」
24Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all those of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.
24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。
25This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands your words: ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Go ahead, then, do what you have promised! Keep your vows!
25万军之耶和华— 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！
26Nevertheless, hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah living in Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, says the LORD, that never again will any man of Judah living in the land of Egypt invoke My name or say, ‘As surely as the Lord GOD lives.’
26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。』
27I am watching over them for harm and not for good, and every man of Judah who is in the land of Egypt will meet his end by sword or famine, until they are finished off.
27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。
28Those who escape the sword will return from Egypt to Judah, few in number, and the whole remnant of Judah who went to dwell in the land of Egypt will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs!
28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？
29This will be a sign to you that I will punish you in this place, declares the LORD, so that you may know that My threats of harm against you will surely stand.
29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。
30This is what the LORD says: Behold, I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hands of his enemies who seek his life, just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the enemy who was seeking his life.”
30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。」
