1The word that came to Jeremias, concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, dwelling in Magdal, and in Taphnis, and in Memphis, and in the land of Phatures, saying:
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：
2Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: You have seen all this evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Juda: and behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them:
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；
3Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.
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。
4And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate.
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。
5But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.
5他們卻不聽從，不側耳而聽，不轉離惡事，仍向別神燒香。
6Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day.
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。
7And now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, that there should die of you man and woman, child and suckling out of the midst of Juda, and no remnant should be left you:
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？
8In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth?
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。
9Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
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？
10They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers.
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。
11Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda.
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。
12And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there: and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach.
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。
13And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.
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；
14And there shall be none that shall escape, and remain of the remnant of the Jews that are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee.
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。」
15Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying:
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：
16As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee:
16「論到你奉耶和華的名向我們所說的話，我們必不聽從。
17But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
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。
18But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword, and by famine.
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。」
19And if we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink offerings to her: did we make cakes to worship her, to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?
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？」
20And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:
20耶利米 對一切那樣回答他的男人婦女說：
21Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and Sour fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?
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？
22So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
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。
23Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at 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。」
24And Jeremias said to all the people, and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt:
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。
25Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you have fulfilled your vows, and have performed them indeed.
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！
26Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord: that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Juda, in the land of Egypt, saying: The Lord God liveth.
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。』
27Behold I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them.
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。
28And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
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？
29And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place: that you may know that my words shall be accomplished indeed against you for evil.
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。
30Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Ephree king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon his enemy, and that sought his life.
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。」
