《圣经》耶利米书-第42章

耶42:1 众军长和加利亚的儿子约哈难，并何沙雅的儿子耶撒尼亚（又名亚撒利雅，见四十三章二节）以及众百姓，从最小的到至大的都进前来， (串)耶40:8,13;41:11

†[吕]众将军和加利亚的儿子约哈难、跟何沙雅的儿子亚撒利雅（传统：耶撒尼亚。参耶43：2）以及众民、从小的到大的、都进前来，

†[思]众部队首领与卡勒亚的儿子约哈南和玛阿色雅的儿子阿匝黎雅及全体人民，不分大小，

†[当代]军队的众司令官、约哈难和何沙雅的儿子耶撒尼亚以及全体民众，不论大小，都前来对先知耶利米说：

†[新译]所有的将领，包括加利亚的儿子约哈难和何沙雅的儿子耶撒尼亚，以及全体人民，从最小的到最大的，都上前来，

†[Wlb]斯时诸军长、与加利亚子约哈难、何沙雅子耶撒尼亚、以及庶民、自尊逮卑悉前、

†[Xdv]后来，所有的军官──包括迦利亚的儿子约哈难和何沙雅的儿子耶撒利雅（希伯来文是：亚撒利雅，是同一个人的名字，见耶４３：２）──跟各阶层人士一起来，

†[Kjv]Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,

†[Nkjv]Now all the captains of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, came near

†[BBE]Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah, the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near,

†[NIV]Then all the army officers, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest approached

本会注释　　耶撒尼亚。见耶40:8。七十士译本为亚撒利雅（见耶43:2）。

耶42:2 对先知耶利米说：“求你准我们在你面前祈求，为我们这剩下的人祷告耶和华你的上帝。我们本来众多，现在剩下的极少，这是你亲眼所见的。 (串)撒上7:8;12:19赛37:4雅5:16|利26:22

†[吕]对神言人耶利米说：“愿你允准我们在你面前所恳求的，为我们这余剩之民祷告永恒主你的上帝；因为我们由众多余剩到稀少，这是你亲眼看见的；

†[思]前来对耶肋米亚先知说：“愿你接受我们对你的请求，请你为我们全体遗民，转求上主你的天主。我们原来人数众多，如今只剩下你亲眼见的这几个人了。

†[当代]“请你容许我们在你面前恳求，请你为我们这群剩下的人祈求主你的上帝。我们本来人数众多，但现在只剩下你眼见寥寥可数的一群。

†[新译]对耶利米先知说：“求你容我们向你恳求，请为我们这余剩的民向耶和华你的　神祷告；因为我们从前人数众多，现在剩下的极少，就像你现在亲眼所见的一样。

†[Wlb]谓先知耶利米曰、容我遗民所求、陈于尔前、请尔为我祷尔上帝耶和华、我侪素众、今所遗者甚寡、如尔目睹、

†[Xdv]对我说：“请答应我们的要求！请替我们向上主──我们的上帝祈求。请替我们这些残存的人祈祷。你亲眼看到，从前我们有一大群人，现在剩下的寥寥无几。

†[Kjv]And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)

†[Nkjv]and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please, let our petition be acceptable to you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, for all this remnant (since we are left but a few of many, as you can see),

†[BBE]And said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let our request come before you, and make prayer for us to the Lord your God, even for this small band of us; for we are only a small band out of what was a great number, as your eyes may see:

†[GNT] and said to me, "Please do what we ask you! Pray to the Lord our God for us. Pray for all of us who have survived. Once there were many of us; but now only a few of us are left, as you can see.

†[NIV]Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, "Please hear our petition and pray to the Lord your God for this entire remnant. For as you now see, though we were once many, now only a few are left.

本会注释　　耶利米既然去了米斯巴（耶40:6），无疑就在被以实玛利所裹胁，在基遍谷被约哈难解救的人群当中（耶41:10,13,14）。大家都认定他是他们的真先知，他的爱国心是值得信赖的，就请他为他们求上帝的智慧和引导。

耶42:3 愿耶和华你的上帝指示我们所当走的路，所当做的事。” (串)拉8:21

†[吕]愿永恒主你的上帝指示我们所应当走的路，所应该作的事。”

†[思]惟愿上主你的天主指示我们该走的路，和当行的事！”

†[当代]愿主你的上帝指示我们该行的路和当做的事。”

†[新译]请为我们求耶和华你的　神指示我们当走的路和该作的事。”

†[Wlb]愿尔上帝耶和华、示我当行之途、当为之事、

†[Xdv]求上主──我们的上帝指示我们该走的路，该做的事。”

†[Kjv]That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.

†[Nkjv]that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing we should do."

†[BBE]That the Lord your God may make clear to us the way in which we are to go and what we are to do.

†[GNT] Pray that the Lord our God will show us the way we should go and what we should do."

†[NIV]Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do."

耶42:4 先知耶利米对他们说：“我已经听见你们了，我必照着你们的话祷告耶和华你们的上帝。耶和华无论回答什么，我必都告诉你们，毫不隐瞒。” (串)王上22:14|撒上3:18徒20:20

†[吕]神言人耶利米对他们说：“我听见了；看吧，我必照你们的话祷告永恒主你们的上帝；无论永恒主回答你什么话、我都要告诉你们，一点也不留住。”

†[思]耶肋米亚先知答覆他们说：“我听见了！好，我愿依照你们的话，祈求上主你们的天主；但凡上主答覆的话，我必全告诉你们，不对你们隐瞒什么。”

†[当代]先知耶利米对他们说：“我已听见了。我必依照你们的话向主你们的上帝祈求；无论主的回覆是什么，我都会不折不扣地告诉你们。”

†[新译]耶利米先知对他们说：“我听见了！我必照着你们的话祷告耶和华你们的　神。耶和华回答你们所说的一切话，我必告诉你们，一句也不会向你们隐瞒。”

†[Wlb]先知耶利米曰、我闻尔言矣、必循所言、为尔祷尔上帝耶和华、凡耶和华所应尔者、我必告尔、一无所隐、

†[Xdv]我回答：“好，我答应你们的要求。我会向上主──我们的上帝祈祷。无论他说什么，我会毫无保留地转告你们。”

†[Kjv]Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing bac

†[Nkjv]Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard. Indeed, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words, and it shall be, that whatever the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you."

†[BBE]Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have given ear to you; see, I will make prayer to the Lord your God, as you have said; and it will be that, whatever the Lord may say in answer to you, I will give you word of it, keeping nothing back.

†[GNT] I answered, "Very well, then. I will pray to the Lord our God, just as you have asked, and whatever he says, I will tell you. I will not keep back anything from you."

†[NIV]I have heard you," replied Jeremiah the prophet. "I will certainly pray to the Lord your God as you have requested; I will tell you everything the Lord says and will keep nothing back from you."

耶42:5 于是他们对耶利米说：“我们若不照耶和华你的上帝差遣你来说的一切话行，愿耶和华在我们中间作真实诚信的见证。 (串)创31:50

†[吕]于是他们对耶利米说：“我们若不照永恒主你的上帝所差遣你来说的一切话行，愿永恒主做真实而可靠的见证来责罚我们。

†[思]他们答覆耶肋米亚说：“愿上主在我们中间作真实和忠信的见证，如果我们不依照上主你的天主叫你传给我们的一切话去做。

†[当代]他们对耶利米说：“倘若我们不依从主你的上帝派你来传给我们的话去做，愿主在我们中间作真实诚信的见证，指证我们。

†[新译]于是他们对耶利米说：“我们若不照着耶和华你的　神差遣你到我们这里来所说的一切话去作，愿耶和华作真实和诚信的见证，指控我们。

†[Wlb]众谓耶利米曰、尔上帝耶和华遣尔谕我之言、我侪若不尽从、愿耶和华于尔我前、为诚实忠信之证、

†[Xdv]于是他们又说：“倘若我们不遵守上主──我们的上帝吩咐你给我们的命令，愿他作诚信可靠的证人，指控我们。

†[Kjv]Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.

†[Nkjv]So they said to Jeremiah, "Let the LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not do according to everything which the LORD your God sends us by you.

†[BBE]Then they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true witness against us in good faith, if we do not do everything which the Lord your God sends you to say to us.

†[GNT] Then they said to me, "May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not obey all the commands that the Lord our God gives you for us.

†[NIV]Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with everything the Lord your God sends you to tell us.

本会注释　　由于巴比伦的入侵给他们带来的苦难，百姓现在完全谦卑了。他们诚恳地宣称无论上帝对他们有什么旨意，他们都不折不扣地服从。他们保证完全顺从“耶和华我们上帝的话”（第6节）。见第20节注释。

耶42:6 我们现在请你到耶和华我们的上帝面前，他说的无论是好是歹，我们都必听从；我们听从耶和华我们上帝的话，就可以得福。” (串)申6:3耶7:23

†[吕]我们现在请（同词：差遣）你到永恒主我们的上帝面前，他说的是福是祸、我们都要听从，好使我们因听从永恒主我们的上帝的声音而平安无事。”

†[思]或好或坏，我们愿听从上主我们天主的话，因为是我们派你去向他祈求；我们听从了上主我们的天主的话，我们就必顺利。”

†[当代]不论是好是坏，我们都愿意听从主我们的上帝，因为我们若听祂的话，就必亨通。”

†[新译]不论是甜是苦，我们都愿听从耶和华我们　神的话，因为是我们委派你向他祈求的；我们听从耶和华我们　神的话，就必凡事亨通。”

†[Wlb]今我请尔诣我上帝耶和华、彼之所言、或祸或福、我必从之、我从我上帝耶和华之言、则必获益、

†[Xdv]无论上主──我们上帝的话是好是坏，我们一定听从；这是我们求你向他祈求的。我们若听从他，一切都会顺利。”

†[Kjv]Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.

†[Nkjv]Whether it is pleasing or displeasing, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we send you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God."

†[BBE]If it is good or if it is evil, we will be guided by the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you; so that it may be well for us when we give ear to the voice of the Lord our God.

†[GNT] Whether it pleases us or not, we will obey the Lord our God, to whom we are asking you to pray. All will go well with us if we obey him."

†[NIV]Whether it is favorable or unfavorable, we will obey the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it will go well with us, for we will obey the Lord our God."

耶42:7 过了十天，耶和华的话临到耶利米。

†[吕]过了十天，有永恒主的话传与耶利米。

†[思]十天以后，上主有话传给了耶肋米亚，

†[当代]十天之后，有主的话临到耶利米，

†[新译]过了十天，耶和华的话临到耶利米。

†[Wlb]越十日、耶和华谕耶利米、

†[Xdv]十天后，上主跟我说话。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.

†[Nkjv]And it happened after ten days that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.

†[BBE]And it came about that after ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

†[GNT] Ten days later the Lord spoke to me;

†[NIV]Ten days later the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

本会注释　　这段时间的间隔向百姓证明，耶利米所给的不是自己的回答，而是经多方祈祷和默想以后，上帝通过他所给的答复（见@耶24:4@注释；参结3:15,16）。

耶42:8 他就将加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长，并众百姓，从最小的到至大的都叫了来，

†[吕]耶利米就将加利亚的儿子约哈难、和跟着他的众将军、和众民、从小的到大的、都叫了来，

†[思]他便召集卡勒亚的儿子约哈南和随从他的众部队首领以及全体人民，不分大小，

†[当代]他便召集了约哈难、所有随从他部下的司令官和全体民众，不分大小，

†[新译]耶利米就把加利亚的儿子约哈难，和所有与他一起的将领，以及全体人民，从最小的到最大的，都叫了来，

†[Wlb]遂召加利亚子约哈难、与所偕之军长、以及庶民、自尊逮卑、

†[Xdv]于是我召集了约哈难、所有跟从他的军官，以及各阶层人士，

†[Kjv]Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

†[Nkjv]Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

†[BBE]And he sent for Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were still with him, and all the people, from the least to the greatest,

†[GNT] so I called together Johanan, all the army leaders who were with him, and all the other people.

†[NIV]So he called together Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him and all the people from the least to the greatest.

耶42:9 对他们说：“耶和华以色列的上帝，就是你们请我在他面前为你们祈求的主，如此说：

†[吕]对他们说：“永恒主以色列的上帝、就是你们请（同词：差遣）我在他面前为你们恳求的主、这么说；

†[思]对他们说：“你们派我去向他面陈你们的请求的上主，以色列的天主这样说：

†[当代]对他们说：“你们派我向祂呈上你们的请求，主以色列的上帝这样说：

†[新译]对他们说：“耶和华以色列的　神，就是你们委派我去为你们向他恳求的那位，这样说：

†[Wlb]谓之曰、尔曹遣我、为尔祷于以色列之上帝耶和华、彼云、

†[Xdv]对他们说：“上主──以色列的上帝，就是你们要我向他祈求的上帝这样说：

†[Kjv]And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;

†[Nkjv]and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him:

†[BBE]And said to them, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to put your request before him:

†[GNT] I said to them, "The Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me with your request has said,

耶42:10 ‘你们若仍住在这地，我就建立你们，必不拆毁，栽植你们，并不拔出，因我为降与你们的灾祸后悔了。 (串)耶24:6;31:28;33:7|申32:36耶18:8

†[吕]你们若死心塌地地（稍加点窜翻译的）住在这地，我就建立你们，必不倾覆；栽植你们，必不拔除；因为对降祸与你们、我改变了心意了。

†[思]如果你们决意住在这地方，我必建立你们，决不加以破坏；我必栽培你们，决不予以拔除，因为我已后悔给你们所降的灾祸。

†[当代]‘如果你们在这地留居，我必要建立你们，决不加以拆毁；我要栽植你们，决不下手拔除；我必收回降在你们身上的灾祸。

†[新译]‘你们若决意住在这地，我就建立你们，必不拆毁；栽植你们，必不拔除；因我为那已经降在你们身上的灾祸回心转意。

†[Wlb]如尔仍居斯土、我必建尔而不毁之、植尔而不拔之、昔我降灾于尔、今回厥意焉、

†[Xdv]‘如果你们愿意继续住在这地方，我会建立你们，不拆毁你们；我会培植你们，不拔除你们；因为我后悔向你们降灾难。

†[Kjv]If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.

†[Nkjv]"If you will still remain in this land, then I will build you and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up. For I relent concerning the disaster that I have brought upon you.

†[BBE]If you still go on living in the land, then I will go on building you up and not pulling you down, planting you and not uprooting you: for my purpose of doing evil to you has been changed.

†[GNT] "If you are willing to go on living in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not pull you up. The destruction I brought on you has caused me great sorrow.

†[NIV]If you stay in this land, I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I am grieved over the disaster I have inflicted on you.

本会注释　　建立你们。再次强调上帝对于祂子民的旨意（见耶1:10；18:7-10；24:4-6；见@耶32:41@注释）。
　　因我……后悔了。见@民23:19@注释。不是指为过去所做的事情而悲伤，就像世人为他们的过犯那样，而是指上帝因百姓改变了态度和做法，就把惩罚变为怜悯（见耶18:8；26:3；见@珥2:13@注释）。

耶42:11 不要怕你们所怕的巴比伦王。’”耶和华说：“不要怕他！因为我与你们同在，要拯救你们脱离他的手。 (串)赛43:5罗8:31

†[吕]你们所怕的巴比伦王、你们不要怕；不要怕他，永恒主发神谕说，因为是我与你们同在，要拯救你们，要援救你们脱离他的手。

†[思]你们不要害怕你们所害怕的巴比伦王；不要害怕他──上主的断语──因为有我与你们同在，作你们的救援，从他的手中抢救你们。

†[当代]你们不要害怕巴比伦王，因为我必与你们在一起，拯救你们脱离他的管辖。

†[新译]你们所怕的巴比伦王，你们不要惧怕他；你们不要惧怕他（这是耶和华的宣告），因为我与你们同在，要拯救你们，要搭救你们脱离他的手。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、尔惧巴比伦王、今勿惧焉、盖我与尔偕、以拯尔脱于其手、勿惧之、

†[Xdv]你们不要怕巴比伦王。我跟你们同在，我要救你们脱离他的辖制。

†[Kjv]Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

†[Nkjv]Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him,' says the LORD, "for I am with you, to save you and deliver you from his hand.

†[BBE]Have no fear of the king of Babylon, of whom you are now in fear; have no fear of him, says the Lord: for I am with you to keep you safe and to give you salvation from his hands.

†[GNT] Stop being afraid of the king of Babylonia. I am with you, and I will rescue you from his power.

†[NIV]Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him, declares the Lord , for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands.

耶42:12 我也要使他发怜悯，好怜悯你们，叫你们归回本地。 (串)诗106:45,46

†[吕]我要向你们施怜悯，叫他怜悯你们，使你们仍（传统：使你们返回）住你们本地。

†[思]我必怜恤你们，也叫他怜恤你们，让你们仍住在你们的国土内。

†[当代]我必向你们施怜悯，叫巴比伦王怜悯你们，使你们可以重归自己的国土。’

†[新译]我要向你们施怜悯，他也会怜悯你们，使你们归回自己的土地。’

†[Wlb]我矜恤尔、使彼亦矜恤尔、俾尔归于故土、

†[Xdv]我既然以仁慈待你们，我也要他以仁慈待你们，让你们归回故乡。’

†[Kjv]And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.

†[Nkjv]And I will show you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and cause you to return to your own land.'

†[BBE]And I will have mercy on you, so that he may have mercy on you and let you go back to your land.

†[GNT] Because I am merciful, I will make him have mercy on you and let you go back home. I, the Lord, have spoken.'

†[NIV]I will show you compassion so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.'

本会注释　　既可理解为他们会和别人一样被掳到巴比伦，后来又回到自己的故乡；也可理解为他们作为迦勒底人允许留下的犹太“剩下的人”（王下25:10-12,22），肯定会回到自己的田地和葡萄园。耶利米显然想表达的后一种意思。

耶42:13 倘若你们说：‘我们不住在这地’，以致不听从耶和华你们上帝的话， (串)耶44:16

†[吕]倘若你们说：‘我们不住这地’，就这样不听永恒主你们的上帝的声音，

†[思]但是，如果你们不听从上主你们的天主的话，说：我们不愿住在这地方；

†[当代]不过，如果你们不听主你们上帝的话，不住在这地，或说：

†[新译]但是，你们若说：‘我们不住在这地’，不听从耶和华你们的　神的话，

†[Wlb]如尔曰、我不居斯土、而不从尔上帝耶和华之言、

†[Xdv]“但是，你们这些残存在犹大的人不应该违背上主──你们的上帝，拒绝留在这地方。

†[Kjv]But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,

†[Nkjv]"But if you say, "We will not dwell in this land,' disobeying the voice of the LORD your God,

†[BBE]But if you say, We have no desire to go on living in this land; and do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God,

†[GNT] "But you people who are left in Judah must not disobey the Lord your God and refuse to live in this land. You must not say, "No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we won't face war any more or hear the call to battle or go hungry.' If you say this, the

†[NIV]However, if you say, 'We will not stay in this land,' and so disobey the Lord your God,

耶42:14 说：‘我们不住这地，却要进入埃及地，在那里看不见争战，听不见角声，也不至无食饥饿。我们必住在那里。’

†[吕]而说：‘不，我们要进的是埃及地，在那里我们不至于听到战争，号角的声音不至于听到，粮食也不至于闹饥荒；就在那里我们要居住着’，

†[思]或说：不，我们要去埃及地，在那再见不到战争，再听不到号声，再不缺乏食粮；我们要去住在那！

†[当代]‘我们要到埃及去，在那里我们会得到平安，不会听见吹号声，也不会缺乏食粮，我们要住在那里。’

†[新译]或说：‘不！我们要去埃及地，在那里看不到战争，听不见号角的声音，也不会因缺乏粮食而饥饿；我们要留在那里。’

†[Wlb]曰、不然、我必入埃及地、在彼不睹战事、不闻角声、不乏食而饥饿、爰处爰居、

†[Xdv]你们不应该说：‘我们要到埃及去，住在那里。我们不会遭遇战争，不会听到战争的喊声，也不至于捱饿。’

†[Kjv]Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:

†[Nkjv]saying, "No, but we will go to the land of Egypt where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor be hungry for bread, and there we will dwell'--

†[BBE]Saying, No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, or be hearing the sound of the horn, or be in need of food; there we will make our living-place;

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]and if you say, 'No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the trumpet or be hungry for bread,'

本会注释　　尼罗河地区似乎提供一个安全和平的居住地。这是东方的粮仓。其丰富的出产与 “剩下的”人因巴比伦的入侵忍饥受饿的状况形成鲜明的对照，令人羡慕和向往（第2节）。
　　先知给百姓的答复证明是出于上帝的。他们虽然口头上说愿意服从上帝的任何旨意（见第5节注释），心里却暗暗想着要去埃及（见第14-20节）。上帝现在藉着耶利米的信息，揭露了他们的秘密。上帝本着祂的仁慈，不愿让百姓不知道拒绝祂信息的后果（第16-18节）。

耶42:15 你们所剩下的犹大人哪，现在要听耶和华的话。万军之耶和华以色列的上帝如此说：‘你们若定意要进入埃及，在那里寄居， (串)申17:16耶44:12-14

†[吕]那么、犹大余剩之民哪，你们现在就要听永恒主的话哦。万军之永恒主以色列之上帝这么说：你们若硬着头皮要进埃及，去寄居在那里，

†[思]那么，犹大的遗民！请你们听上主的话。万军的上主，以色列的天主这样说：假使你们决意要往埃及去，在那寄居，

†[当代]若是这样，犹大剩余的人民啊！你们要倾听主你们上帝的话。万军之主以色列的上帝这样说：‘要是你们决意要往埃及去，在那里定居的话，

†[新译]这样，犹大余剩的人哪，你们现在要听耶和华的话！万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：‘你们若决意去埃及，到那里寄居，

†[Wlb]犹大之遗民欤、今听耶和华言、万军之耶和华、以色列之上帝曰、如尔定厥趋向、入埃及而居之、

†[Xdv]你们若说这种话，上主──万军的统帅、以色列的上帝要说：‘如果你们定意到埃及去，

†[Kjv]And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;

†[Nkjv]Then hear now the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah! Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "If you wholly set your faces to enter Egypt, and go to dwell there,

†[BBE]Then give ear now to the word of the Lord, O you last of Judah: the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, If your minds are fixed on going into Egypt and stopping there;

†[NIV]then hear the word of the Lord , O remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there,

耶42:16 你们所惧怕的刀剑在埃及地必追上你们！你们所惧怕的饥荒在埃及要紧紧地跟随你们！你们必死在那里！ (串)结11:8

†[吕]那么你们所怕的刀剑就会在埃及地那里赶上你们；你们所恐惧的饥荒就会紧跟着你们到埃及那里，使你们死在那里。

†[思]你们害怕的刀剑，必在埃及地袭击你们；你们忧虑的荒，必在埃及跟踪你们，使你们死在那。

†[当代]那么，你们所害怕的战争、所忧虑的饥荒，必亦步亦趋地跟著你们。你们必死在那里。

†[新译]你们惧怕的刀剑必在埃及地追上你们；你们恐惧的饥荒必在埃及紧随着你们；你们必死在那里。

†[Wlb]则尔所惧之锋刃、必追及尔于埃及地、所畏之饥馑、亦必迫从尔于埃及、尔必死于彼、

†[Xdv]你们所害怕的战争会追上你们；你们所恐惧的饥荒会跟上你们；你们将死在埃及。

†[Kjv]Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.

†[Nkjv]then it shall be that the sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; the famine of which you were afraid shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.

†[BBE]Then it will come about that the sword, which is the cause of your fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and need of food, which you are fearing, will go after you there in Egypt; and there death will come to you.

†[GNT] then the war that you fear will overtake you, and the hunger you dread will follow you, and you will die there in Egypt.

†[NIV]then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die.

本会注释　　耶利米再次警告他们不要指望埃及的帮助，而不服从巴比伦人（见耶2:36；37:7-10）。

耶42:17 凡定意要进入埃及在那里寄居的必遭刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死，无一人存留，逃脱我所降与他们的灾祸。’ (串)本章22耶24:10|耶44:14

†[吕]凡硬着头皮要进埃及，而寄居在那里的人、都必因刀剑饥荒或瘟疫而死，必没有一人能残存、而逃脱我所要降与他们的灾祸。

†[思]凡决意往埃及去，到那寄居的人，必要死于刀剑、荒和瘟疫，没有一人能幸免，逃脱我给他们招来的灾祸。

†[当代]因此，凡决意要到埃及去的，必要死于战争、饥荒和瘟疫；没有一人能够幸免。’”

†[Xdv]所有定意到埃及居住的人，要不是战死，饿死，就是死于瘟疫。没有人能幸免，没有人能逃避我要降在他们身上的灾难。’

†[Nkjv]So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there. They shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. And none of them shall remain or escape from the disaster that I will bring upon them.'

†[BBE]Such will be the fate of all the men whose minds are fixed on going into Egypt and stopping there; they will come to their end by the sword, by being short of food, and by disease: not one of them will keep his life or get away from the evil which I will

†[GNT] All the people who are determined to go and live in Egypt will die either in war or of starvation or disease. Not one of them will survive, not one will escape the disaster that I am going to bring on them.'

†[NIV]Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague; not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring on them.'

耶42:18 “万军之耶和华以色列的上帝如此说：‘我怎样将我的怒气和忿怒倾在耶路撒冷的居民身上，你们进入埃及的时候，我也必照样将我的忿怒倾在你们身上，以致你们令人辱骂、惊骇、咒诅、羞辱，你们不得再见这地方。’ (串)耶7:20|耶24:9;26:6亚8:13

†[吕]“因为万军之永恒主以色列之上帝这么说；我怎样将我的怒气烈怒倒在耶路撒冷的居民身上，你们进埃及时，我也必怎样将我的烈怒倒在你们身上，使你们成了令人咒骂、令人惊骇、令人咒诅羞辱的对象，以致你们不得再见这地方。

†[思]的确，万军的上主，以色列的天主这样说：正如我对耶路撒冷居民曾发怒恨；同样我要对去埃及的你们恨，叫你们遭受憎恨、厌恶、诅咒、侮辱，永不再见此地。”

†[当代]“万军之主以色列的上帝这样说：‘我的愤慨和怒气怎样倾倒在耶路撒冷居民的身上，我也要怎样把我的怒气倾倒在你们这些进入埃及的人身上。你们要成为别人责骂、惊怕、咒诅和凌辱的对象，你们再也不能重见这地了。’

†[新译]“因为万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：‘我从前怎样把我的怒气和烈怒倾倒在耶路撒冷的居民身上，现在你们进入埃及的时候，我也必照样把我的烈怒倾倒在你们身上。你们就必成为令人惊骇、被人咒骂、咒诅和羞辱的对象。你们必

†[Nkjv]"For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so will My fury be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you shall be an oath, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproa

†[BBE]For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: As my wrath and passion have been let loose on the people of Jerusalem, so will my passion be let loose on you when you go into Egypt: and you will become an oath and a cause of wonder and

†[GNT] "The Lord, the God of Israel, says, "Just as my anger and fury were poured out on the people of Jerusalem, so my fury will be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will be a horrifying sight; people will make fun of you and use your name as a curse.

†[NIV]This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'As my anger and wrath have been poured out on those who lived in Jerusalem, so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be an object of cursing and horror, of condemnation

耶42:19 所剩下的犹大人哪，耶和华论到你们说：‘不要进入埃及去。’你们要确实地知道我今日警教你们了。 (串)申17:16

†[吕]犹大余剩之民哪，永恒主曾对你们说：‘不要进埃及去。’如今你们要确实地知道我今日已警告你们了。

†[思]“犹大的遗民！这是上主对你们说的话：不要到埃及去。你们该清楚知道：我今天对你们作证，

†[当代]剩下的犹大人啊！主警告你们说：‘不要到埃及去！’你们应该清楚知道，我今日已向你们提出警告了。

†[新译]犹大余剩的人哪，耶和华曾对你们说：‘你们不要去埃及。’你们要确实知道，我今天已经警告你们了。

†[Wlb]犹大之遗民欤、耶和华论尔、既言毋入埃及、我今日警戒尔矣、尔当知之、

†[Xdv]我继续说：“上主曾经吩咐你们这些残存在犹大的人不要到埃及去。我现在警告你们：

†[Kjv]The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

†[Nkjv]"The LORD has said concerning you, O remnant of Judah, "Do not go to Egypt!' Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

†[BBE]The Lord has said about you, O last of Judah, Go not into Egypt: be certain that I have given witness to you this day.

†[GNT] Then I continued, "The Lord has told you people who are left in Judah not to go to Egypt. And so I warn you now

†[NIV]O remnant of Judah, the Lord has told you, 'Do not go to Egypt.' Be sure of this: I warn you today

耶42:20 你们行诡诈自害；因为你们请我到耶和华你们的上帝那里，说：‘求你为我们祷告耶和华我们上帝，照耶和华我们的上帝一切所说的告诉我们，我们就必遵行。’ (串)本章2

†[吕]你们作错了事以自害了；因为你们请（同词：差遣）我去见永恒主你们的上帝，说：愿你为我们祷告永恒主我们的上帝，照永恒主我们的上帝所说的一切话告诉我们，我们都必照样遵行，

†[思]你们实在是自己欺骗自己；原是你们派我去求问上主你天主说：请你为我们转求上主我们的天主，凡上主我们的天主说的，你要全告诉我们，我们必依照遵行。

†[当代]其实，你们不过是自欺而已，因为原是你们请我去求主你们的上帝，说：‘请你为我们向主我们的上帝祈求；无论主我们的上帝说什么，请你都从实告诉我们，我们必听命遵行。’

†[新译]你们实在自己欺骗自己，因为是你们委派我去见耶和华你们的　神，你们说：‘请为我们向耶和华我们的　神祷告；无论耶和华我们的　神说什么，你都要告诉我们，我们就必照着去作。’

†[Wlb]尔行诈以自害、因尔遣我诣尔上帝耶和华曰、为我祷我上帝耶和华、凡我上帝耶和华所言者、悉以告我、我必行之、

†[Xdv]你们犯了致命的错误。你们求我替你们向上主──我们的上帝祷告，并且答应要遵行他一切的命令。

†[Kjv]For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

†[Nkjv]For you were hypocrites in your hearts when you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, "Pray for us to the LORD our God, and according to all that the LORD your God says, so declare to us and we will do it.'

†[BBE]For you have been acting with deceit in your hearts; for you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Make prayer for us to the Lord our God, and give us word of everything he may say, and we will do it.

†[GNT] that you are making a fatal mistake. You asked me to pray to the Lord our God for you, and you promised that you would do everything that he commands.

†[NIV]that you made a fatal mistake when you sent me to the Lord your God and said, 'Pray to the Lord our God for us; tell us everything he says and we will do it.'

本会注释　　百姓假装诚恳地宣称愿意服从上帝的旨意。像古时的巴兰（见@民22:20@注释）一样，百姓只是希望上帝会批准他们想要做的事。我们在作出人生的重大决定时，必须警惕犯同样的错误。

耶42:21 我今日将这话告诉你们，耶和华你们的上帝为你们的事差遣我到你们那里说的，你们却一样没有听从。

†[吕]我今日将永恒主差遣我到你们这里来说的一切话告诉你们，你们对永恒主你们的上帝的声音却一句也没有听从。

†[思]我今天告诉了你们，你们却全不听从上主你们的天主，打发我来告诉你们的话。

†[当代]今日，我把这番话告诉你们，你们却一样也没听从。

†[新译]我今天告诉了你们，你们却不听从耶和华你们的　神派我来告诉你们的一切话。

†[Wlb]我今日已悉告尔、而尔上帝耶和华、遣我诣尔所谕之言、尔乃一无所从、

†[Xdv]现在我把他的命令转告你们，你们却不肯听从上主──我们的上帝要我转告你们的每一句话。

†[Kjv]And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.

†[Nkjv]And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, or anything which He has sent you by me.

†[BBE]And this day I have made it clear to you, and you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.

†[GNT] And now I have told you, but you are disobeying everything that the Lord our God sent me to tell you.

†[NIV]I have told you today, but you still have not obeyed the Lord your God in all he sent me to tell you.

耶42:22 现在你们要确实地知道，你们在所要去寄居之地必遭刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死。” (串)本章17结6:11

†[吕]如今呢、你们要确实知道：你们在所想要去寄居的地方、是必因刀剑饥荒或瘟疫而死的。”

†[思]现在，你们该知道：在你们要去寄居的地方，你们必死于刀剑、荒和瘟疫。”

†[当代]因此，你们现时应该知道，在你们决意要去寄居的那地方，你们必死于战争、饥荒和瘟疫。”

†[新译]现在你们要确实知道，在你们想去寄居的那地方，你们必因刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫而死。”

†[Wlb]今尔当知、尔必亡于锋刃、饥馑疫疠、在尔所欲往居之处、

†[Xdv]所以要记住：你们将在自己定意要去的地方遭遇战争、饥荒，或瘟疫而死。”

†[Kjv]Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to dwell."

†[BBE]And now be certain that you will come to your end by the sword and by being short of food and by disease, in the place to which you are pleased to go for a living-place.

†[GNT] So then, remember this: you will die in war or of starvation or disease in the land where you want to go and live."

†[NIV]So now, be sure of this: You will die by the sword, famine and plague in the place where you want to go to settle."
