# 耶-Jer 44 ## 耶44:1 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： Jer 44:1 “The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who lived in the land of Egypt, at Migdol, at Tahpanhes, at Memphis, and in the land of Pathros,” ## 耶44:2 “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， Jer 44:2 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the disaster that I brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah. Behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them,” ## 耶44:3 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。 Jer 44:3 “because of the evil that they committed, provoking me to anger, in that they went to make offerings and serve other gods that they knew not, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.” ## 耶44:4 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。 Jer 44:4 “Yet I persistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abomination that I hate!’” ## 耶44:5 他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，不转离恶事，仍向别神烧香。 Jer 44:5 “But they did not listen or incline their ear, to turn from their evil and make no offerings to other gods.” ## 耶44:6 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。 Jer 44:6 “Therefore my wrath and my anger were poured out and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, and they became a waste and a desolation, as at this day.” ## 耶44:7 “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？ Jer 44:7 “And now thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against yourselves, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and child, from the midst of Judah, leaving you no remnant?” ## 耶44:8 就是因你们手所作的，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。 Jer 44:8 “Why do you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, making offerings to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to live, so that you may be cut off and become a curse and a taunt among all the nations of the earth?” ## 耶44:9 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？ Jer 44:9 “Have you forgotten the evil of your fathers, the evil of the kings of Judah, the evil of their wives, your own evil, and the evil of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?” ## 耶44:10 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。 Jer 44:10 “They have not humbled themselves even to this day, nor have they feared, nor walked in my law and my statutes that I set before you and before your fathers.” ## 耶44:11 “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。 Jer 44:11 “Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah.” ## 耶44:12 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。 Jer 44:12 “I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine they shall be consumed. From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, and they shall become an oath, a horror, a curse, and a taunt.” ## 耶44:13 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； Jer 44:13 “I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence,” ## 耶44:14 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。” Jer 44:14 “so that none of the remnant of Judah who have come to live in the land of Egypt shall escape or survive or return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return to dwell there. For they shall not return, except some fugitives.” ## 耶44:15 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： Jer 44:15 “Then all the men who knew that their wives had made offerings to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, all the people who lived in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah:” ## 耶44:16 “论到你奉耶和华的名向我们所说的话，我们必不听从。 Jer 44:16 “As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you.” ## 耶44:17 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。 Jer 44:17 “But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster.” ## 耶44:18 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。” Jer 44:18 “But since we left off making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.” ## 耶44:19 妇女说：“我们向天后烧香、浇奠祭，作天后像的饼供奉她，向她浇奠祭，是外乎我们的丈夫吗？” Jer 44:19 “And the women said, “When we made offerings to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ approval that we made cakes for her bearing her image and poured out drink offerings to her?” ## 耶44:20 耶利米对一切那样回答他的男人妇女说： Jer 44:20 “Then Jeremiah said to all the people, men and women, all the people who had given him this answer:” ## 耶44:21 “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？ Jer 44:21 “As for the offerings that you offered in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your officials, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them? Did it not come into his mind?” ## 耶44:22 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。 Jer 44:22 “The LORD could no longer bear your evil deeds and the abominations that you committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation and a waste and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.” ## 耶44:23 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。” Jer 44:23 “It is because you made offerings and because you sinned against the LORD and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies that this disaster has happened to you, as at this day.” ## 耶44:24 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。 Jer 44:24 “Jeremiah said to all the people and all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.” ## 耶44:25 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，手里作，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！ Jer 44:25 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You and your wives have declared with your mouths, and have fulfilled it with your hands, saying, ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made, to make offerings to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Then confirm your vows and perform your vows!” ## 耶44:26 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。’ Jer 44:26 “Therefore hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says the LORD, that my name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘As the Lord GOD lives.’” ## 耶44:27 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。 Jer 44:27 “Behold, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them.” ## 耶44:28 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？ Jer 44:28 “And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who came to the land of Egypt to live, shall know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.” ## 耶44:29 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。 Jer 44:29 “This shall be the sign to you, declares the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, in order that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for harm:” ## 耶44:30 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，象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。” Jer 44:30 “Thus says the LORD, 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, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.”
