耶利米書 44
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1有臨到 耶利米 的話，論及一切住在 埃及 地的 猶大 人，就是住在 密奪 、 答比匿 、 挪弗 、 巴忒羅 境內的 猶大 人，說：
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:
2「萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：我所降與 耶路撒冷 和 猶大 各城的一切災禍你們都看見了。那些城邑今日荒涼，無人居住；
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
3這是因居民所行的惡，去燒香事奉別神，就是他們和你們，並你們列祖所不認識的神，惹我發怒。
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.
4我從早起來差遣我的僕人眾先知去說，你們切不要行我所厭惡這可憎之事。
4Yet I sent you all My servants the prophets again and again, saying: ‘Do not do this detestable thing that I hate.’
5他們卻不聽從，不側耳而聽，不轉離惡事，仍向別神燒香。
5But they did not listen or incline their ears; they did not turn from their wickedness or stop burning incense to other gods.
6因此，我的怒氣和忿怒都倒出來，在 猶大 城邑中和 耶路撒冷 的街市上， 如火 着起，以致都荒廢淒涼，正如今日一樣。
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.
7現在耶和華－萬軍之上帝、 以色列 的上帝如此說：你們為何作這大惡自害己命，使你們的男人、婦女、嬰孩，和吃奶的都從 猶大 中剪除、不留一人呢？
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?
8就是因你們手所做的，在所去寄居的 埃及 地向別神燒香惹我發怒，使你們被剪除，在天下萬國中令人咒詛羞辱。
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.
9你們列祖的惡行， 猶大 列王和他們后妃的惡行，你們自己和你們妻子的惡行，就是在 猶大 地、 耶路撒冷 街上所行的，你們都忘了嗎？
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?
10到如今還沒有懊悔，沒有懼怕，沒有遵行我在你們和你們列祖面前所設立的法度律例。
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.
11「所以萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：我必向你們變臉降災，以致剪除 猶大 眾人。
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.
12那定意進入 埃及 地、在那裏寄居的，就是所剩下的 猶大 人，我必使他們盡都滅絕，必在 埃及 地仆倒，必因刀劍饑荒滅絕；從最小的到至大的都必遭刀劍饑荒而死，以致令人辱罵、驚駭、咒詛、羞辱。
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.
13我怎樣用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫刑罰 耶路撒冷 ，也必照樣刑罰那些住在 埃及 地的 猶大 人；
13I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem, by sword and famine and plague,
14甚至那進入 埃及 地寄居的，就是所剩下的 猶大 人，都不得逃脫，也不得存留歸回 猶大 地。他們心中甚想歸回居住之地；除了逃脫的以外，一個都不能歸回。」
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.”
15那些住在 埃及 地 巴忒羅 知道自己妻子向別神燒香的，與旁邊站立的眾婦女，聚集成群，回答 耶利米 說：
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,
16「論到你奉耶和華的名向我們所說的話，我們必不聽從。
16“As for the word you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you!
17我們定要成就我們口中所出的一切話，向天后燒香、澆奠祭，按着我們與我們列祖、君王、首領在 猶大 的城邑中和 耶路撒冷 的街市上素常所行的一樣；因為那時我們吃飽飯、享福樂，並不見災禍。
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.
18自從我們停止向天后燒香、澆奠祭，我們倒缺乏一切，又因刀劍饑荒滅絕。」
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.”
19婦女說：「我們向天后燒香、澆奠祭，做天后像的餅供奉她，向她澆奠祭，是外乎我們的丈夫嗎？」
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?”
20耶利米 對一切那樣回答他的男人婦女說：
20Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him,
21「你們與你們列祖、君王、首領，並國內的百姓，在 猶大 城邑中和 耶路撒冷 街市上所燒的香，耶和華豈不記念，心中豈不思想嗎？
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?
22耶和華因你們所作的惡、所行可憎的事，不能再容忍，所以你們的地荒涼，令人驚駭咒詛，無人居住，正如今日一樣。
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.
23你們燒香，得罪耶和華，沒有聽從他的話，沒有遵行他的律法、條例、法度，所以你們遭遇這災禍，正如今日一樣。」
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.”
24耶利米 又對眾民和眾婦女說：「你們在 埃及 地的一切 猶大 人當聽耶和華的話。
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.
25萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：你們和你們的妻都口中說、手裏做，說：『我們定要償還所許的願，向天后燒香、澆奠祭。』現在你們只管堅定所許的願而償還吧！
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!
26所以你們住在 埃及 地的一切 猶大 人當聽耶和華的話。耶和華說：我指着我的大名起誓，在 埃及 全地，我的名不再被 猶大 一個人的口稱呼說：『我指着主－永生的耶和華起誓。』
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.’
27我向他們留意降禍不降福；在 埃及 地的一切 猶大 人必因刀劍、饑荒所滅，直到滅盡。
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.
28脫離刀劍、從 埃及 地歸回 猶大 地的人數很少；那進入 埃及 地要在那裏寄居的，就是所剩下的 猶大 人，必知道是誰的話立得住，是我的話呢？是他們的話呢？
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!
29耶和華說：我在這地方刑罰你們，必有預兆，使你們知道我降禍與你們的話必要立得住。
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.
30耶和華如此說：我必將 埃及 王法老 合弗拉 交在他仇敵和尋索其命的人手中，像我將 猶大 王 西底家 交在他仇敵和尋索其命的 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 手中一樣。」
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.”
