耶利米书第46章

《圣经》耶利米书-第46章

耶46:1 耶和华论列国的话临到先知耶利米。 (串)耶25:15

†[吕]永恒主的话、那传与神言人耶利米、论到列国的。

†[思]上主传给耶肋米亚先知论及外邦的话。

†[当代]下面是主临到先知耶利米，有关各国的话。

†[新译]耶和华论到列国的话临到耶利米先知。

†[Wlb]耶和华论列国、所谕耶利米之言、

†[Xdv]上主向我提起有关列国的事。

†[Kjv]The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;

†[Nkjv]The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the nations.

†[BBE]The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the nations.

†[GNT] The Lord spoke to me about the nations,

†[NIV]This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations:

本会注释　　耶和华……话（debar-Yahweh）。这句话在《耶利米书》出现了50余次。Debar（“话”）往往比“诫命”语气更重（见申4:13，其中“十条诫”直译是“十句话”）。debar 还可指“事务”（见出24:14；书2:14；代上26:32）。所以这里的“耶和华的话”是耶和华关于祂与各国之间事项的权威论述。
　　论列国。本节开始了《耶利米书》一个新的部分。耶46-51章是十首关于以下国家和民族的诗歌：埃及（耶46），非利士人（耶47），摩押（耶48），亚扪人（耶49:1-6），以东（耶49:7-22），大马士革（耶49:23-27），基达（耶49:28,29），夏琐（耶49:30-33），以拦（耶49:34-39）和巴比伦（耶50:1-51:58）。“论”的原文是`al，主要涉及上帝的惩罚，也包含复兴的应许（见耶48:47；49:6,39）。

耶46:2 论到关乎埃及王法老尼哥的军队：这军队安营在伯拉河边的迦基米施，是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年所打败的。 (串)王下23:29代下35:20

†[吕]论埃及。关于埃及王法老尼哥的军队：这军队在伯拉河边的迦基米施，是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬四年所击败的：

†[思]关于埃及：对于埃及王法郎乃苛，于犹大王约史雅的儿子约雅金第四年，在幼发拉的河附近的加克米士，被巴比伦王拿步高击败的军队：

†[当代]论到埃及：埃及王法老尼哥的军队，曾在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬执政第四年，在幼发拉底河边的迦基米施被巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒击败。

†[新译]以下的话是关于埃及，论到埃及王法老尼哥的军队，这军队在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年，被巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在靠近幼发拉底河的迦基米施击败。

†[Wlb]论埃及、即论埃及王法老尼哥之军旅、屯于伯拉河滨之迦基米施、在犹大王约西亚子约雅敬四年、为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所击、

†[Xdv]关于埃及：他提到埃及王尼哥的军队，在约雅敬作犹大王的第四年，被巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在幼发拉底河附近的迦基米施击败。他说：

†[Kjv]Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.

†[Nkjv]Against Egypt. Concerning the army of Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, which was by the River Euphrates in Carchemish, and which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

†[BBE]Of Egypt: about the army of Pharaoh-neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah.

†[GNT] beginning with Egypt. This is what he said about the army of King Neco of Egypt, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia defeated at Carchemish near the Euphrates River in the fourth year that Jehoiakim was king of Judah:

†[NIV]Concerning Egypt: This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:

本会注释　　法老尼哥。关于“法老”，见@创12:15@注释。尼哥二世（公元前610-595年）登上埃及王位的时候，这个国家正经历着一场政治，文化和经济的新生。他的父亲萨姆提克一世（公元前663-610年），得到亚述在政治上的和军事上的支持，与统治埃及达一个世纪之久的古实人抗衡。亚述帝国瓦解以后，他宣布脱离亚述而独立，建立了第二十六王朝，即赛斯王朝。他发展与希腊和腓尼基的贸易，在经济上兴旺起来。新获得的独立和繁荣唤醒了这个民族的自豪感和活力。
　　随着公元前612年尼尼微的倾覆，主宰近东事务二个半世纪多的亚述帝国结束了，留下了一个政治的真空。埃及人看到了在这种形势下重建一个西亚帝国的机会。在公元前610年，尼哥二世继承他父亲即位后不久，就派遣一支埃及军队援助亚述人。他们刚被巴比伦人从临时的首都哈兰驱逐出去。这次出征未能夺回哈兰。次年（609年），尼哥显然重返巴勒斯坦和亚兰。这一次他的军队似乎打败了犹大军队，在米吉多战役中杀死其国王约西亚（王下23:29,30；代下35:20-27），然后向北挥师进攻幼发拉底河边迦基米施的巴比伦人（代下35:20）。三个月以后回来，在利比拉（王下23:31,33）囚禁了犹大的新国王约哈斯，并把约雅敬放在了王位上（王下23:34）。约雅敬显然民族意识比较淡薄，比较愿意接受外国的控制支配。
　　四年之后，就是“约雅敬第四年”，尼哥的军队再次来到迦基米施。
　　迦基米施。位于幼发拉底河西岸，控制着该河最重要的渡口之一，是抵御西方的军队侵入美索不达米亚的天然屏障，所以具有军事和商业上的重要地位。
　　尼布甲尼撒。见@但1:1@注释。尼布甲尼撒是父亲拿波坡拉撒（Nabopo-lassar，公元前626-605年），与玛代人和西古提人联合，消灭亚述帝国。他既控制了肥沃的新月地带的东部，自然也就想控制其西部。他是尼哥的主要敌手。尼哥企图在巴勒斯坦和亚兰的重新建立埃及的统治。我们不清楚拿波坡拉撒在西部取得了何种程度的成功，因为缺乏有关他统治后期巴比伦和埃及方面的资料来源。但我们确知，到公元前605年尼布甲尼撒继承他父亲王位的时候，巴比伦已准备发起决战，与埃及人争夺巴勒斯坦和亚兰的控制权。
　　约雅敬第四年。据耶25:1，约雅敬第四年就是公元前604年，尼布甲尼撒元年。
　　但许多历史学家认为第二次迦基米施战争是在公元前605年，就是在尼布甲尼撒出征埃及时，因父亲的去世（见@但1:1@注释）而被召回继承王位之前。因此贝罗苏斯（Berosus）所记录拿波坡拉撒“官长”的胜利，被许多历史学家视为本节尼哥与尼布甲尼撒迦基米施战役的巴比伦版。
　　矛盾之处是，既是第二次迦基米施战争，贝罗苏斯却说它发生在尼布甲尼撒登基之前，而耶利米则说迦基米施战争是在约雅敬第四年，尼布甲尼撒的元年，至少是他登基以后几个月。约瑟弗斯赞同耶利米关于迦基米施战争是在尼布甲尼撒登基之后的说法（《上古史》x.6.1）。
　　由此可见，要么贝罗苏斯对自己的记录不清楚，要么他所指的是公元前605年迦基米施战争以前的事件。鉴于缺乏公元前609-604年有关巴勒斯坦和亚兰事件的历史资料，一般都认为巴比伦人在第一次迦基米施战争（可能是公元前608年）以后不久，就占领了巴勒斯坦和亚兰。若是这样，贝罗苏斯所指的就是一次针对他们统治的叛乱。尼布甲尼撒登基那一年（约雅敬第三年，见@但1:1@；@耶25:1@注释）入侵犹大似乎与此相符。然后尼布甲尼撒因他父亲的死突然被召回巴比伦，为尼哥企图重新占领西布地区提供了机会。结果第二年如耶46：3-12所描述的，他在迦基米施被完全打败。这几节经文显然是有关这场战争的唯一历史记录。

耶46:3 你们要预备大小盾牌，往前上阵。

†[吕]“你们要把小盾大牌摆好，前进去上阵！

†[思]你们应准备盾牌铠甲，冲锋上阵！

†[当代]主说：“你们要整顿军备，冲锋陷阵！

†[新译]“要准备好大小的盾牌，踏上战场。

†[Wlb]曰、其备干盾、进而战鬬、

†[Xdv]埃及的军官发令：准备盾牌！束装上阵！

†[Kjv]Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.

†[Nkjv]"Order the buckler and shield, And draw near to battle!

†[BBE]Get out the breastplate and body-cover, and come together to the fight.

†[GNT] "The Egyptian officers shout, "Get your shields ready and march into battle!

†[NIV]Prepare your shields, both large and small, and march out for battle!

本会注释　　你们要预备。即“要作好准备”。
　　小盾牌（magen）。圆形的小盾牌，为轻装备部队所使用的。
　　大盾牌（sinnah）。是防护全身的长盾牌，为重装备部队所使用的。

耶46:4 你们套上车，骑上马！顶盔站立，磨枪贯甲！ (串)耶51:11,12鸿3:3

†[吕]要套上车，骑上马！顶盔站在阵位上！磨枪贯甲！

†[思]骑士，你们应装备战马，快骑上，戴上盔，磨快枪，披甲出阵！

†[当代]你们要装备战马，策骑其上，戴上头盔，侍立待命；也要擦亮矛枪，披上盔甲。

†[新译]要装备马匹，骑上战马；站好岗位，戴上头盔；磨快枪矛，穿上铁甲。

†[Wlb]骑士欤、备马而乘、贯胄而立、砺乃戈、擐乃甲、

†[Xdv]套好马鞍，骑上战马！排齐队伍，戴上钢盔！磨利鎗剑，穿上铁甲！

†[Kjv]Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.

†[Nkjv]Harness the horses, And mount up, you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets, Polish the spears, Put on the armor!

†[BBE]Make the horses ready, and get up, you horsemen, and take your places with your head-dresses; make the spears sharp and put on the breastplates.

†[GNT] Harness your horses and mount them! Fall in line and put on your helmets! Sharpen your spears! Put on your armor!'

†[NIV]Harness the horses, mount the steeds! Take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears, put on your armor!

本会注释　　磨。就是“擦亮”。
　　甲（siryonoth）。“盔甲”。

耶46:5 我为何看见他们惊惶转身退后呢？他们的勇士打败了，急忙逃跑，并不回头；惊吓四围都有！这是耶和华说的。 (串)耶6:25;49:29

†[吕]怎么啦！我看见他们都惊慌，转身退后呀！他们的勇士被击败了，仓仓皇皇逃跑，并不回头呀！四围尽是恐怖！是永恒主发神谕说。

†[思]怎么？我看见他们惊惶溃退，他们的勇士遭受袭击，急速奔逃，不敢回顾，竟然恐怖四起？──上主的断语。

†[当代]看啊，为什么他们惊怕倒退呢？他们的壮士慌忙逃命，不敢回头；可怖的事纷纷四起。”

†[新译]但为什么我看见他们惊惶，转身退后呢？他们的勇士被击败了，他们急速奔逃，不敢回转。四围都是惊慌。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我奚见此哉、彼众惊而却退、勇士败溃、急遁不顾其后、四周惶恐、

†[Xdv]可是上主问：我看见什么呢？他们惊惶退却；他们的战士被击败，拚命奔逃，不敢回头。周围充满着恐怖！

†[Kjv]Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Why have I seen them dismayed and turned back? Their mighty ones are beaten down; They have speedily fled, And did not look back, For fear was all around," says the LORD.

†[BBE]What have I seen? they are overcome with fear and turned back; their men of war are broken and have gone in flight, not looking back: fear is on every side, says the Lord.

†[GNT] "But what do I see?" asks the Lord. "They are turning back in terror. Their soldiers are beaten back; overcome with fear, they run as fast as they can and do not look back.

†[NIV]What do I see? They are terrified, they are retreating, their warriors are defeated. They flee in haste without looking back, and there is terror on every side," declares the Lord .

本会注释　　为何？先知为埃及人的失败而吃惊。他可能亲眼看到埃及人在巴比伦人追击下从迦基米施撤退。
　　这是耶和华说的（ne'um-Yahweh）。这个上帝的肯定词在《耶利米书》中出现了160多次。

耶46:6 不要容快跑的逃避；不要容勇士逃脱（或作：快跑的不能逃避；勇士不能逃脱）；他们在北方伯拉河边绊跌仆倒。 (串)但11:19

†[吕]轻快的也逃跑不了，英勇的也不能逃脱；就在北方伯拉河边都绊跌仆倒。

†[思]敏捷的不能逃脱，英勇的不能自救，在靠近幼发拉的河的北岸，瓦解覆灭！

†[当代]身手敏捷的逃不了，英勇强壮的跑不掉，他们在北面的幼发拉底河边，仆倒在地。

†[新译]“快跑的跑不掉，勇士也不能逃脱；他们在北方、在幼发拉底河边，都绊跌仆到。

†[Wlb]毋令疾趋者遁逃、毋令有勇者得逸、在北方伯拉河滨、众咸踬而颠、

†[Xdv]最会跑的也跑不掉；连战士都逃不了。在北方，幼发拉底河边，他们都瓦解覆灭。

†[Kjv]Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.

†[Nkjv]"Do not let the swift flee away, Nor the mighty man escape; They will stumble and fall Toward the north, by the River Euphrates.

†[BBE]Let not the quick-footed go in flight, or the man of war get away; on the north, by the river Euphrates, they are slipping and falling.

†[GNT] Those who run fast cannot get away; the soldiers cannot escape. In the north, by the Euphrates, they stumble and fall.

†[NIV]The swift cannot flee nor the strong escape. In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall.

本会注释　　北方。见@耶1:14@注释。

耶46:7 象尼罗河涨发，象江河之水翻腾的是谁呢？ (串)赛8:7,8耶47:2但11:22

†[吕]“这像尼罗河涨起、其水翻腾像江河的、是谁呢？

†[思]那如尼罗，水波起伏如河流，涌上来的是谁？

†[当代]那像尼罗河涌溢、像流水奔腾的是谁呢？

†[新译]那像尼罗河上涨，像江河的水翻腾的是谁呢？

†[Wlb]彼若尼罗之涨溢、若川流之汹涌者、谁欤、

†[Xdv]像尼罗河上涨的是谁呢？像江河泛滥的是谁呢？

†[Kjv]Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?

†[Nkjv]"Who is this coming up like a flood, Whose waters move like the rivers?

†[BBE]Who is this coming up like the Nile, whose waters are lifting their heads like the rivers?

†[GNT] Who is this that rises like the Nile, like a river flooding its banks?

†[NIV]Who is this that rises like the Nile, like rivers of surging waters?

本会注释　　尼罗河。希伯来语是ye'or，源于埃及语'iteru（“河”，即尼罗河，见创41:1,2；出1:22；2:3；7:15,17-21,24,25）。埃及基本上是一个无雨的国家，其灌溉全靠尼罗河每年的泛滥。尼罗河在九月和十月的涨水，是一年中的最重大的事件，自古以来均有详细记录。先知这里用尼罗河的泛滥，来比喻埃及军队蹂躏巴勒斯坦和亚兰（见耶46:8）。

耶46:8 埃及象尼罗河涨发，象江河的水翻腾。他说：我要涨发遮盖遍地；我要毁灭城邑和其中的居民。

†[吕]埃及像尼罗河涨起，其水翻腾像江河；它说：我要涨起，淹满这地，我要毁灭（传统加：城市与）其居民。

†[思]埃及如尼罗，水波起伏如河流，涌上来说：“我涌上来淹没大地，扫灭城市和城中的居民。

†[当代]埃及就像尼罗河涌溢，也像流水奔腾；她说：‘我要涨溢，淹没全地，我要毁灭城市和其中的居民。’

†[新译]埃及像尼罗河上涨，像江河的水翻腾；它说：‘我要上涨，淹盖大地；我要毁灭城镇和城里的居民。’

†[Wlb]若尼罗之涨溢、若川流之汹涌者、乃埃及也、彼曰、我必兴起、掩盖全地、毁其城邑、灭其居民、

†[Xdv]是埃及像尼罗河上涨，像江河泛滥。埃及说：我要上涨，淹盖大地；我要毁灭城镇，消灭居民。

†[Kjv]Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

†[Nkjv]Egypt rises up like a flood, And its waters move like the rivers; And he says, "I will go up and cover the earth, I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.'

†[BBE]Egypt is coming up like the Nile, and his waters are lifting their heads like the rivers, and he says, I will go up, covering the earth; I will send destruction on the town and its people.

†[GNT] It is Egypt, rising like the Nile, like a river flooding its banks. Egypt said, "I will rise and cover the world; I will destroy cities and the people who live there.

†[NIV]Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers of surging waters. She says, 'I will rise and cover the earth; I will destroy cities and their people.'

耶46:9 马匹上去吧！车辆急行吧！勇士，就是手拿盾牌的古实人和弗人（又作吕彼亚人），并拉弓的路德族，都出去吧！ (串)赛66:19

†[吕]马匹上去吧！车辆狂奔吧！勇士出阵哦！手挥盾牌的古实人和弗人哪！（此处加：手拿着）拉弓的路德族阿！

†[思]战马上前，战车急驰，战士出阵，持盾的雇士人和普特人，张弓的路丁人！

†[当代]战马前奔、战车疾驶，勇士出战，手执盾牌的古实人和弗人及拉弓的路德人出来了！

†[新译]马匹啊，上前吧！战车啊，狂奔吧！勇士啊，就是紧握盾牌的古实人和弗人，以及拉弓的吕底亚人哪，上阵吧！

†[Wlb]马其疾上、车其急驰、为勇士者、执干之古实与弗人、挽弓之路德人、其出哉、

†[Xdv]骑兵冲锋，战车突击！派遣大军上阵：苏但和利比亚人带着盾牌；吕底亚人拿着弓箭。

†[Kjv]Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.

†[Nkjv]Come up, O horses, and rage, O chariots! And let the mighty men come forth: The Ethiopians and the Libyans who handle the shield, And the Lydians who handle and bend the bow.

†[BBE]Go up, you horses; go rushing on, you carriages of war; go out, you men of war: Cush and Put, gripping the body-cover, and the Ludim, with bent bows.

†[GNT] Command the horses to go and the chariots to roll! Send out the soldiers: men from Ethiopia and Libya, carrying shields, and skilled archers from Lydia.' "

†[NIV]Charge, O horses! Drive furiously, O charioteers! March on, O warriors- men of Cush and Put who carry shields, men of Lydia who draw the bow.

本会注释　　古实人（Kush）。见@创10:6@注释。
　　弗人（又作利比亚人）。Pût。可能指住在非洲东岸的蓬特人（见创10:6注释）。
　　路德族（Ludim）。不知道这里所提到的路德族是来自小亚细亚西部的吕底亚人，还是一个靠近埃及的非洲部族。亚述国王亚述巴尼帕（Ashurbanipal）的碑文提到在尼哥的父亲萨姆提克一世的军旅中有路德国王吉格斯（Gyges）所提供的部队。说他们是非洲部族，是依据路低是含的儿子麦西的后裔这一事实，所以他们与埃及人关联。这当然不排除他们很早从非洲迁到小亚细亚的可能性（见@创10:13@注释）。
　　路德族不要与闪的儿子路德的后裔混淆。因为他们似乎是北美索不达米亚的部族（创10:22；代上1:17；见@创10:22@注释）。

耶46:10 那日是主万军之耶和华报仇的日子，要向敌人报仇。刀剑必吞吃得饱，饮血饮足；因为主万军之耶和华在北方伯拉河边有献祭的事。 (串)赛13:6珥1:15;2:1|申32:42赛34:5|赛34:6番1:7结39:17

†[吕]那日是主万军之永恒主的日子、是伸冤的日子──向他的敌人伸的冤；他的刀剑必吞吃得饱，喝血喝得满足；因为主万军之永恒主有宰祭的事，就在北方之地，伯拉河边。

†[思]这一天正是我主万军的上主，报复自己仇敌的复仇日，刀剑必要吞噬、饱尝、痛饮他们的鲜血；在靠近幼发拉的河北岸，我主万军的上主必要执行一场大屠杀。

†[当代]因为这日是主以色列上帝向自己的仇敌报复的日子。刀剑要尽情吞吃、痛饮他们的血，因为主万军之上帝要在北方的幼发拉底河边献祭。

†[新译]那是主万军之耶和华的日子，是报仇的日子，他要向自己的敌人报仇；刀剑必吞噬、饱餐他们的肉，痛饮他们的血。因为在北方，靠近幼发拉底河之地，主万军之耶和华要屠宰敌人像杀祭牲一样。

†[Wlb]是为万军之主耶和华之日、乃复仇之日、彼必复仇于敌、使刃食人而饱、饮血而足、缘万军之主耶和华、在北方伯拉河滨、有祀事焉、

†[Xdv]这是至高上主──万军统帅的日子：今天，他要报复；今天，他要惩罚敌人。他的宝剑要饱尝敌人的肉，痛饮敌人的血。今天，至高上主、万军的统帅要在北方幼发拉底河边，把敌人当牲祭。

†[Kjv]For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

本会注释　　主万军之耶和华。见@耶7:3@注释。
　　刀剑必吞吃得饱。原文说刀剑是有嘴的。“刀剑”直译就是“刀”（创34:26）或“两刃的刀”（箴5:4）。刀剑的柄有时做得像动物的头，刀刃从动物的口中伸出。
　　献祭（zebach）。源于 zabach。“牺牲”或“屠杀”。本节似乎指“屠杀”。

耶46:11 埃及的民（原文作处女）哪，可以上基列取乳香去；你虽多服良药，总是徒然，不得治好。 (串)赛47:1|耶8:22;51:8|结30:21

†[吕]埃及的子民（原文：处女）哪，上基列去取止痛乳香吧！你虽多用良药，总是徒然，新肉你总不长的。

†[思]埃及的处女！你尽管上基肋阿得去拾取香草，只是徒然增添药材；你已无法治疗！

†[当代]埃及的人民啊，你们尽管上基列去采摘乳香，但加添良药是于事无补的，你们已是无法救治的了。

†[新译]埃及的人民哪，上基列去取乳香吧！你虽多用药物都是无效，你必不得医治。

†[Wlb]埃及处女欤、其往基列而取乳香、尔用多药、亦属徒然、不可医也、

†[Xdv]埃及人哪，上基列去吧！到那里去找膏药！你所有的药品都无效；没有良药能医治你。

†[Kjv]Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

†[Nkjv]"Go up to Gilead and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt; In vain you will use many medicines; You shall not be cured.

†[BBE]Go up to Gilead and take sweet oil, O virgin daughter of Egypt: there is no help in all your medical arts; nothing will make you well.

†[GNT] People of Egypt, go to Gilead and look for medicine! All your medicine has proved useless; nothing can heal you.

†[NIV]Go up to Gilead and get balm, O Virgin Daughter of Egypt. But you multiply remedies in vain; there is no healing for you.

本会注释　　处女。这是耶利米经常使用的词汇，指以色列百姓（见耶14:17；18:13；31:4,21；哀1:15；2:13）。但这里指埃及。
　　你虽多服良药。既可译为将来时态，也可译为现在时态（英RSV版）或过去时态（英RSV版）。在古代近东的民族中，埃及人的医术是很出色的。已经发现了两份重要的埃及药方：《爱德温.史密斯外科纸草文稿》和《伊伯斯医疗纸草文稿》，说明埃及的医术在很早就达到很高的水准。医师们治疗骨折有方，懂得量脉膊诊断病人的病情。他们差不多发现了血液的循环。希罗多德（iii.1,129）说到波斯皇帝居鲁士和大流士聘用了埃及的医师。希腊人从埃及吸收了大量的医学知识，甚至把他们的医神阿斯克勒庇俄斯（罗马人称为埃斯科拉庇俄斯），认定埃及第三王朝的医师和圣人伊姆霍特普。先知似乎认为，埃及虽然产生了世界上最伟大的医师，但在受到惩罚的日子里无法治疗自己的创伤。

耶46:12 列国听见你的羞辱，遍地满了你的哀声；勇士与勇士彼此相碰，一齐跌倒。

†[吕]列国听见你的声音（传统：羞辱事），你的哀号声满了遍地；因为勇士跌碰勇士，二者一齐仆倒。”

†[思]万民闻知了你的羞辱，大地充满了你的哀哭；噫！勇士冲向勇士，双方同时倒仆。

†[当代]万国都知晓你们的丑闻，全地都充满你们的哀哭声；战士彼此碰撞，双双跌倒。”

†[新译]列国听见你的羞耻，大地满了你的哀号；因为勇士和勇士相碰，双方一同仆倒。”

†[Wlb]尔之耻辱闻于列邦、尔之呼号充乎遍地、盖勇士与勇士互冲、二者同仆、

本会注释　　话。见第1节注释。本节是散文体的。第3-12节,14-24节，第27,28节是诗体的。第13节引出了一段新的预言信息，是关于尼布甲尼撒入侵埃及的。
　　论到巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒要来攻击埃及地。由于缺乏确凿的历史证据，许多学者怀疑本章和耶43:8-13；44:30；结29:1-20所预言巴比伦人对埃及的入侵。约瑟弗斯说：“耶路撒冷遭劫五年以后，也就是尼布甲尼撒统治的第二十三年，尼布甲尼撒……入侵埃及，要征服该地，在杀死了当时执政的国王并任命了另一个以后，他再次掳走了该国中的犹太人，把他们带到巴比伦”（《上古史》x.9.7）。约瑟弗斯的这份记录不完全可靠，因为事实上亚比里斯（合弗拉）是从公元前589年至570年为埃及国王的，没有在尼布甲尼撒的第二十三年（公元前582年）被杀。也没有同时代的旁证证明埃及在当时受到入侵。一些历史学家以前把亚比里斯治下的厄勒番丁岛的总督尼苏赫（Nesuhor）的一个碑文，解释为说明尼布甲尼撒曾入侵埃及，而且向南远达阿斯旺（Assuan，又拼作Aswan）。但后来的研究表明，这个碑文被误解了。它是指上埃及的希腊人和亚洲人所发动的一场的叛乱。
　　但有一份标为尼布甲尼撒第37年（公元前568年）的巴比伦书板残片，记录了尼布甲尼撒与埃及的亚马西士之间的一场战争。虽然无法确定这次入侵的细节，但它是发生在亚马西士推翻他的前任亚比里斯之后不久。这似乎说明尼布甲尼撒想利用埃及的内乱征服那个虚弱的国家，以扩大他帝国的版图。这件事也为约瑟弗斯的叙述提供了正确的背景（见上一段）。以西结关于巴比伦征服的预言（结29:17-20），发布在“二十七年”（公元前571年或570年），进一步增加了约在此时入侵的可能性。世俗的历史没有说明巴比伦这次入侵成功的程度。也许不止有一次的征战。但有人认为耶利米所描述的就是这场战争。
　　有人认为耶利米可能是耶46:13-26所描述之事件的目击者。这时耶利米已是高龄。入侵的时间是公元前568或567年，离他开始说预言的公元前628或627年差不多有60年了。

耶46:14 你们要传扬在埃及，宣告在密夺，报告在挪弗、答比匿说：要站起出队，自作准备，因为刀剑在你四围施行吞灭的事。 (串)本章3,4|本章10

†[吕]“你们要传扬于埃及，要宣告于密夺，宣告于挪弗和答比匿，说：‘要站出来在阵位上，作好了准备；因为有刀剑在你四围吞灭着人呢。’

†[思]你们在埃及宣传，在米革多耳传报，在诺夫及塔黑培乃斯传布说：你起来准备！刀剑已在你四周撕杀。

†[当代]“你要在埃及、密夺、挪弗和答比匿宣告说：‘你们要起来准备，因为刀剑已在你们四周施行杀戮。’

†[新译]“你们要在埃及传扬，在密夺宣告，在挪弗和答比匿宣扬，说：‘要站好岗位，作好准备，因为刀剑要吞灭你周围的人！’

†[Wlb]曰、尔其播于埃及、传于密夺、宣于挪弗答比匿云、出而屹立、预为之备、尔之四周、已见吞于锋刃、

†[Xdv]要在埃及各城镇宣布，在密夺、孟斐斯、答比匿宣布：起来，准备作战！战火要吞灭你的一切。

†[Kjv]Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.

†[Nkjv]"Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in Migdol; Proclaim in Noph and in Tahpanhes; Say, "Stand fast and prepare yourselves, For the sword devours all around you.'

†[BBE]Give the news in Migdol, make it public in Noph: say, Take up your positions and make yourselves ready; for on every side of you the sword has made destruction.

†[GNT] "Proclaim it in the towns of Egypt, in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes: "Get ready to defend yourselves; all you have will be destroyed in war!

†[NIV]Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it also in Memphis and Tahpanhes: 'Take your positions and get ready, for the sword devours those around you.'

本会注释　　密夺。见@耶44:1@注释。
　　挪弗。即孟斐斯（见@耶2:16@注释）。
　　答比匿。见耶2:16注释。
　　值得意的是，这里所提到的所有城市都是在下埃及，说明巴比伦的入侵没有远达尼罗河流域。

耶46:15 你的壮士为何被冲去呢？他们站立不住；因为耶和华驱逐他们，

†[吕]怎么啦！阿庇斯逃跑了阿！（原文：将‘摔倒’一词分为两个字，即作‘阿庇斯逃跑了’。‘阿庇斯’乃埃及神牛之称）你的雄壮神牛站立不住？因为永恒主把他推倒了！

†[思]怎么，阿丕斯逃跑了，你的牛神也站立不住？原来上主已将它推倒。

†[当代]为什么你的勇士变得垂头丧气呢？他们无力抵抗，这是因为主把他们击倒了。

†[新译]你的壮士为什么俯伏？他们站立不住（“你的壮士为什么俯伏？他们站立不住”或可参照《七十士译本》译作“为什么亚比士神逃跑？你的牛神站立不住”），是因耶和华把他们推倒了。

†[Wlb]尔之壮士、曷被冲没、彼之不立、因耶和华逐之也、

†[Xdv]你们的大牛神亚比士为什么仆倒？是上主把它击倒了！

†[Kjv]Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.

†[Nkjv]Why are your valiant men swept away? They did not stand Because the LORD drove them away.

†[BBE]Why has Apis, your strong one, gone in flight? he was not able to keep his place, because the Lord was forcing him down with strength.

†[GNT] Why has your mighty god Apis fallen? The Lord has struck him down!'

†[NIV]Why will your warriors be laid low? They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.

本会注释　　壮士为何被冲去。改变元音的位置，可译为“切普（Chep）逃跑了”，与七十士译本一致：“埃皮斯为什么逃跑？”埃皮斯的埃及语是Hep，源于古代孟斐斯的神牛。几份来自第二十六王朝（当时耶利米在埃及）的碑文，说Hep安放在孟斐斯的主神卜塔的庙宇中”。据认为埃皮斯附身在代代相承的神牛上。这些神牛极其优裕地养在孟斐斯，供崇拜和占卜。这些牛死亡的时候，要制成木乃伊，予以厚葬。
　　1850年，法国考古学家马里伊特（Mariette）在撒卡拉（Sakkara）发现了瑟拉彼恩（Serapeum）。这是孟斐斯的古代墓地之一，由两个地下的回廊构成，约有366米长，两旁的墓室里安放着从公元前十四世纪到公元前二世纪的六十多具公牛木乃伊。第二个回廊是耶利米的同时代人萨姆提克二世所建的，说明埃皮斯崇拜在耶利米的时代占有重要地位。
　　先知在这里很可能想到埃皮斯了神牛。因为希伯来语“壮士”（'abbir）也可译为“公牛”，见诗22:12；50:13；68:30；赛34:7。就像摩西的时代埃及的假神暴露出他们的无能一样（见@出8:2；10:21@注释），现在耶利米形象地描述埃及人的失败，似乎在指出神牛的无奈。

耶46:16 使多人绊跌；他们也彼此撞倒，说：起来吧！我们再往本民本地去，好躲避欺压的刀剑。 (串)利26:37

†[吕]你中间的杂族人绊跌（传统：他使许多人绊跌）仆倒，彼此对说（传统：彼此对撞，就说）。‘起来，我们回到我们本族人那里，回我出们出生之地去，好躲避欺压人、的刀剑。’

†[思]你的混合部队已离心溃退，各向自己的同僚说：起来，回到我们的民族，我们的生身地去，远避吞杀的刀剑！

†[当代]他们再三跌倒，又彼此碰撞，于是他们说：‘起来吧！让我们再回我们的同胞和国土那里去，我们要逃离压迫者的刀剑。’

†[新译]他使众人绊跌，倒在一起；他们说：‘起来！我们要回到我们本族，和我们出生之地那里去，躲避欺压者的刀剑。’

†[Wlb]彼令多人颠仆、互相枕藉、乃曰起哉、我侪归本族、返故土、以避凶刃、

†[Xdv]你们的战士瓦解覆灭。他们彼此说：起来！回老家去吧！回到同胞那里，远避敌人的刀剑！

†[Kjv]He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

†[Nkjv]He made many fall; Yes, one fell upon another. And they said, "Arise! Let us go back to our own people And to the land of our nativity From the oppressing sword.'

†[BBE]... are stopped in their going, they are falling; and they say one to another, Let us get up and go back to our people, to the land of our birth, away from the cruel sword.

†[GNT] Your soldiers have stumbled and fallen; each one says to the other, "Hurry! Let's go home to our people and escape the enemy's sword!'

†[NIV]They will stumble repeatedly; they will fall over each other. They will say, 'Get up, let us go back to our own people and our native lands, away from the sword of the oppressor.'

本会注释　　我们再往本民本地去。这句话显然是雇佣军说的。当时的埃及军队普遍雇佣希腊人，非洲各部族，一些来自小亚细亚的民族。他们对埃及本无忠诚之心，所以一旦意识到失败，就马上逃跑。

耶46:17 他们在那里喊叫说：埃及王法老不过是个声音（或作：已经败亡）；他已错过所定的时候了。

†[吕]把埃及王法老的名字叫做（原文：他们在那里喊叫埃及王法老）‘喧哗’吧！‘一个错过时会的人’！

†[思]人应给埃及王法郎起个绰号，叫“时机过后的叫嚣。”

†[当代]他们在那里喊叫说：‘埃及王法老只不过是虚张声势而已，他已错失良机了。’”

†[新译]他们在那里喊叫：‘埃及王法老不过是喧哗的声音；他已失去机会。’”

†[Wlb]至则呼曰、埃及王法老败矣、其机已失矣、

†[Xdv]给埃及王取一个绰号吧！叫他：坐失良机的吹牛王。

†[Kjv]They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.

†[Nkjv]They cried there, "Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is but a noise. He has passed by the appointed time!'

†[BBE]Give a name to Pharaoh, king of Egypt: A noise who has let the time go by.

†[GNT] "Give the king of Egypt a new name - "Noisy Braggart Who Missed His Chance.'

†[NIV]There they will exclaim, 'Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise; he has missed his opportunity.'

本会注释　　在那里喊叫说。稍微改动其元音，就可译为“呼叫埃及王法老的名字：‘吵闹的一位……。'”（英RSV版）
　　法老。不是国王的名字，而是他的称号（见@创12:15@注释）。不清楚这里所提到的统治者是谁。七十士译本确认他为尼哥，但这只是解说性的译文。
　　他已错过所定的时候了。由于缺乏耶利米在这里所描述之战争的历史资料（见第13节注释），我们不知道这句话是不是指法老未能利用有利的时机与巴比伦人交战。
　　这里也许是指埃及民族错过自己的时机。每一个民族都赋有机会来决定他们是不是实行上帝的旨意。一个民族如果错过了机会，她的荣耀也就离去了（《先知与君王》第535页；见@但4:17@注释）。

耶46:18 君王名为万军之耶和华的说：我指着我的永生起誓：尼布甲尼撒（原文作他）来的势派必象他泊在众山之中，象迦密在海边一样。 (串)耶48:15;51:57

†[吕]“其名叫万军之耶和华的王发神谕说：我指着永活的我来起誓；必有一位要来，就像他泊在众山之中，像迦密在海边一样。

†[思]我永在──那称谓万军上主的君王的断语──有一位必要前来，势如群山中的大博尔，又如海滨的加尔默耳。

†[当代]那称为万军之主的王说：“我指著我的永生起誓，将有一位要来，他的气势有如屹立在群山之中的他泊山，又像傲视海洋一样的迦密山。

†[新译]名叫万军之耶和华的王宣告说：“我指着我的永生起誓，必有一位要来，像群山中的他泊山，像海边的迦密山一样。

†[Wlb]大君王名万军之耶和华曰、我指己生而誓、彼之来也、若山中之他泊、若海滨之迦密、

†[Xdv]我是君王；我的名是耶和华──万军的统帅。我指着我的永生发誓：尼布甲尼撒来犯的大军要像高过群岭的他泊山，屹立海上的迦密山。

†[Kjv]As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

†[Nkjv]"As I live," says the King, Whose name is the LORD of hosts, "Surely as Tabor is among the mountains And as Carmel by the sea, so he shall come.

†[BBE]By my life, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies, truly, like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea, so will he come.

†[GNT] I, the Lord Almighty, am king. I am the living God. As Mount Tabor towers above the mountains and Mount Carmel stands high above the sea, so will be the strength of the one who attacks you.

†[NIV]As surely as I live," declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty, "one will come who is like Tabor among the mountains, like Carmel by the sea.

耶46:19 住在埃及的民哪（原文作女子），要预备掳去时所用的物件；因为挪弗必成为荒场，且被烧毁，无人居住。 (串)耶48:18|赛20:4

†[吕]住埃及的人民（原文：女子）哪，为自己豫备流亡时用的器物哦！因为挪弗必荒凉，必被烧毁，无人居住。

†[思]寄居在埃及的女儿！请你自备流徙的行装，因为诺夫将要变为荒野，被火焚烧，再没有人居住。

†[当代]寄居在埃及的子民啊，你们要收拾行装准备被掳，因为挪弗将要变成废墟，被火烧掉，无人居住。

†[新译]住在埃及的人民哪！要为自己预备被掳时所需的器物；因为挪弗必成为荒场，必被烧毁，无人居住。

†[Wlb]埃及处女欤、尔必见虏、宜备行李、盖挪弗必荒芜焚毁、无人居处、

†[GNT] Egypt is like a splendid cow, attacked by a stinging fly from the north.

†[NIV]Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly is coming against her from the north.

本会注释　　毁灭（qeres）。该词在圣经中只出现一次。其词根意为“掐”、“捏”，说明qeres 可能指一种会叮咬的昆虫刺痛埃及的母牛犊，使之逃跑。英RSV版为“出于北方的牛虻已经临到她”。
　　北方。见@耶1:14@注释。

耶46:21 其中的雇勇好象圈里的肥牛犊，他们转身退后，一齐逃跑，站立不住；因为他们遭难的日子、追讨的时候已经临到。 (串)诗37:13耶50:27

†[吕]它中间雇佣的兵也像圈里养肥的牛犊；因为就在他们遭遇灾难的日子、受察罚关头临到他们身上时，他们也竟转身、一齐逃跑，没有站住。

†[思]她的兵在她内虽像肥胖的牛犊，也一同转身逃遁，不能抵抗，因为他们遭殃的日子，受罚的时期，已来到他们身上。

†[当代]她的雇佣兵虽然好像肥牛犊，但也转过身来，逃之夭夭，不能抵挡，因为他们落难的日子，受罚的时刻已经到了。

†[Wlb]其中雇卒、犹阑中之犊、咸却退遁逃、而不坚立、因其患难之日、受罚之时至矣、

†[Xdv]它的佣兵像牛栏里的小肥牛，个个转身逃跑，没有一个挺身作战。他们遭殃的日子来了；他们受惩罚的时候到了！

†[Kjv]Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.

†[Nkjv]Also her mercenaries are in her midst like fat bulls, For they also are turned back, They have fled away together. They did not stand, For the day of their calamity had come upon them, The time of their punishment.

†[BBE]And those who were her fighters for payment are like fat oxen; for they are turned back, they have gone in flight together, they do not keep their place: for the day of their fate has come on them, the time of their punishment.

†[GNT] Even her hired soldiers are helpless as calves. They did not stand and fight; all of them turned and ran. The day of their doom had arrived, the time of their destruction.

†[NIV]The mercenaries in her ranks are like fattened calves. They too will turn and flee together, they will not stand their ground, for the day of disaster is coming upon them, the time for them to be punished.

本会注释　　雇勇。进一步指出雇佣兵在这段时期的埃及军队中所起的重要作用（见第9,16节注释）。
　　追讨（paqad）。经常被用来表示惩罚（见出20:5；伯35:15；诗59:5；赛26:14；耶14:10）。耶利米经常使用“追讨的时候”，“追讨之年”的说法（见耶8:12；10:15；11:23；23:12；48:44；50:27；51:18）。但paqad 也可指上帝的祝福（见创21:1；诗80:14）。耶和华追讨埃及的日子并非单为惩罚，也是为呼吁人悔改归正（见耶46:28）。

耶46:22 其中的声音好象蛇行一样。敌人要成队而来，如砍伐树木的手拿斧子攻击他。 (串)赛29:4

†[吕]“它的响声像蛇行的响声一样；敌人必成队而来，就如砍伐树木的手拿着斧子来攻击它。

†[新译]它逃走的声音像蛇行的响声，因为敌人要成队而来，像砍伐树木的，拿着斧子前来攻击它。

†[Wlb]其声如蛇之行、盖敌率军而来、执斧若樵夫然、

†[Xdv]敌人逼近的时候，埃及逃窜，像蛇发出嘶嘶声。敌军用斧子砍倒了它，像伐木工人砍倒树木，

†[Kjv]The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

†[Nkjv]Her noise shall go like a serpent, For they shall march with an army And come against her with axes, Like those who chop wood.

†[BBE]She makes a sound like the hiss of a snake when they come on with strength; they go against her with axes, like wood-cutters.

†[GNT] Egypt runs away, hissing like a snake, as the enemy's army approaches. They attack her with axes, like people cutting down trees

†[NIV]Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent as the enemy advances in force; they will come against her with axes, like men who cut down trees.

本会注释　　像蛇行一样。埃及军队的撤退声不像秩序井然之军队的脚步声，而是在“成队而来”的巴比伦人来到之前悄悄地溜走。

耶46:23 耶和华说：埃及的树林虽然不能寻察（或作：穿不过），敌人却要砍伐，因他们多于蝗虫，不可胜数。 (串)赛10:34|士6:5

本会注释　　万军之耶和华。见@耶7:3@节注释。
　　挪的亚扪（'Amon minno'）。挪就是埃及城市底比斯（现为卢克苏尔和卡纳克），位于开罗以南约300英里处，尼罗河的东岸。阿蒙（亚扪）原是底比斯地方的神，所以埃及人称底比斯为Niut 'Imen（“阿蒙之城”）。“挪”是该城市埃及名称希伯来音译的第一个部份。
　　随着在埃及中期王国的开始（大约公元前2000年），和在底比斯建立首都，当地的阿蒙在埃及诸神中的地位迅速提高。他被赋予太阳神Ra`（拉）的特性，于是两个神合而为一，称为阿蒙拉（Amen-Ra`）。阿门内姆哈特（Amenemhet）和阿孟霍特普（Amenhotep）这两个名字说明了阿蒙的重要性。四位中期王国的国王取名阿门内姆哈特。帝王时期有四位国王取名阿孟霍特普。还有几位法老，如图特安哈门（Tutankhamen）的名字里也含有“阿蒙”。在第二十一王朝（大约从公元前1085年到950年）时期，阿蒙的大祭司实际上作为国王统治着埃及。在耶利米的时代，阿蒙的女大祭司是由王室的公主来担任的。关于阿蒙拉（Amen-Ra`）重要地位的最好证据也许是卡纳克的阿蒙了。卡纳克是古代底比斯的一部份，虽然已成废墟，依然是古代世界保存下来的最大建筑遗址之一。
　　藉着应许惩罚阿蒙和法老，上帝预言祂的愤怒将临到埃及的整个宗教和政治体系。

耶46:26 我要将他们交付寻索其命之人的手和巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒与他臣仆的手；以后埃及必再有人居住，与从前一样。这是耶和华说的。” (串)耶44:30结32:11|结29:11,13,14

†[吕]我必将他们交于那些寻索他们性命的人手里，交于巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他臣仆手里。此后埃及必再有人居住，像昔日一样；这是永恒主发神谕说的。

†[思]将他们交在图谋他们性命的巴比伦王拿步高和他臣仆的手中；但是以后，埃及仍如昔日有人居住──上主的断语。

†[当代]我要把他们交在谋害他们性命的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他的官长手中；但日后埃及仍然有人居住，有如往日一样。”

†[新译]我必把他们交在那些寻索他们性命的人的手里，就是交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他的臣仆的手中。但以后，埃及必再有人居住，像从前一样。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]付于索其命者之手、及巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒、与其臣仆之手、厥后埃及必有居民、犹如古昔、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]都交给想取他们性命的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他的军队。但是过了一段时间，埃及要像昔日一样有人居住。我是上主；我这样宣布了。”

†[Kjv]And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of his servants. Afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old," says the LORD.

†[BBE]And I will give them up into the hands of those who will take their lives, and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of his servants: and later, it will be peopled as in the past, says the Lord.

†[GNT] and hand them over to those who want to kill them, to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his army. But later on, people will live in Egypt again, as they did in times past. I, the Lord, have spoken.

†[NIV]I will hand them over to those who seek their lives, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be inhabited as in times past," declares the Lord .

本会注释　　本节揭示了上帝惩罚埃及的真正目的：不是为了彻底消灭她，而是要通过降卑而使她悔改。

本会注释　　本章在展示了埃及失败的可怕画面以后，给了以色列一个希望的信息。上帝对以色列邻居的惩罚，和对她的惩罚一样，都是为了使她回归上帝。

耶46:28 我的仆人雅各啊，不要惧怕！因我与你同在。我要将我所赶你到的那些国灭绝净尽，却不将你灭绝净尽，倒要从宽惩治你，万不能不罚你（不罚你：或作以你为无罪）。这是耶和华说的。 (串)耶10:24;30:11

†[吕]我的仆人雅各阿，你、不要惧怕！永恒主发神谕说：因为是我与你同在，因为我必将我所放逐你到的列国尽行毁灭；你呢、我却不你尽行毁灭；我要合乎常度地惩罚你，却不能让你免受刑罚。”

†[思]雅各伯，我的仆人！你不用害怕──上主的断语──有我与你同在；诚然，对我使你流徙所至的各民族，我要加以毁灭；但是你，我必不毁灭，只依照正义惩罚你，不让你全然免罚。

†[当代]我的仆人雅各啊，不必惧怕，因为我与你在一起；所有你曾被我赶散所到的国家，我都要把他们完全毁灭，我却必不把你尽行灭绝；然而，我决不能免去你应受的惩罚，我仍要依法管教你，使你归正。”

†[新译]我的仆人雅各啊！你不要惧怕。因为我与你同在；我要消灭我赶逐你去的列国。却必不消灭你。我要按公正惩治你，决不能免你受罚。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我仆雅各欤、毋畏惧、盖我偕尔、我必尽灭我驱尔所至之邦、而不尽灭尔、惟从宽责尔、不能不罚尔焉、

†[Xdv]我的子民哪，不用害怕，因为我跟你们同在。我要消灭我放逐你们去的那些国家，但我不消灭你们。我要照你们应得的管教你们，不会灭绝你们。我是上主；我这样宣布了。

†[Kjv]Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

†[Nkjv]Do not fear, O Jacob My servant," says the LORD, "For I am with you; For I will make a complete end of all the nations To which I have driven you, But I will not make a complete end of you. I will rightly correct you, For I will not leave you wholly unpunished."

†[BBE]Have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; for I am with you: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.
