Jeremiah 20

1 When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and the chief official in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,

1 音麦的儿子巴施户珥祭司在耶和华的殿中做总管。他听见耶利米预言这些事，

2 he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.

2 便叫人殴打耶利米先知，用枷锁把他锁在耶和华殿的便雅悯上门处。

3 The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.

3 第二天，他打开枷锁释放了耶利米，耶利米对他说：“耶和华不再叫你巴施户珥，要叫你玛歌珥·米撒毕 。

4 For this is what the LORD says: ‘I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.

4 因为耶和华说，‘我要使你和你的朋友都惊慌失措，让你亲眼看见你的朋友死在敌人刀下。我要把犹大人都交在巴比伦王手中，使他们或被掳到巴比伦或死于刀下。

5 I will give away all the wealth of this city—all its products and valuables, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah—to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.

5 我要把这城里所有的财富、出产、珍宝，甚至犹大列王的宝物都交给敌人，带到巴比伦作战利品。

6 And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon, and there you will die and be buried—you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied these lies.’”

6 你巴施户珥和你所有的家人，以及听你说假预言的朋友都要被掳到巴比伦，死在那里，葬在那里。’”

7 You have deceived me, O LORD, and I was deceived. You have overcome me and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.

7 耶和华啊， 你欺骗我，我被你骗了。 你制服我，胜过我。 如今，我终日被嘲笑，人人戏弄我。

8 For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.

8 我每次说预言，都大声疾呼： “暴力和毁灭要来了！” 我因传讲耶和华的话而终日遭受侮辱和讥笑。

9 If I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.

9 有时我打算不再提起耶和华， 不再奉祂的名宣讲， 但祂的话如一团火在我心中燃烧， 憋在我骨头里， 我无法隐忍，不得不说。

10 For I have heard the whispering of many: “Terror is on every side! Report him; let us report him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our vengeance upon him.”

10 我听见许多人窃窃私语， 恐怖四下弥漫。 他们说：“我们告发他！告发他！” 我的好友都盼着我灭亡，说： “或许他会受骗， 那样我们便能打倒他， 一泄心头之恨。”

11 But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.

11 但耶和华与我同在， 祂像勇猛的战士。 所以迫害我的人必一败涂地， 他们因失败而羞愧难当，留下永远的耻辱。

12 O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.

12 考验义人、洞悉人心的万军之耶和华啊， 求你让我看见你报应他们， 因为我已向你禀明案情。

13 Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.

13 你们要歌颂耶和华！ 要赞美耶和华！ 因为祂从恶人手中救出穷人。

14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.

14 愿我出生的那天受咒诅！ 愿我母亲生我的那天不蒙祝福！

15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.

15 愿那告诉我父亲喜得贵子、 使他欢喜的人受咒诅！

16 May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,

16 愿那人像被耶和华无情毁灭的城！ 愿他早晨听见哀鸣， 中午听见战争的呐喊，

17 because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.

17 因为他没有把我杀死在母腹中， 没有使母腹成为我的坟墓， 让我永远留在里面。

18 Why did I come out of the womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?

18 为什么我要从母胎出来， 经历患难和痛苦， 在羞辱中度过一生呢？
