1 And Pashur the son of Immer, the priest-and he was chief officer in the house of Jehovah-heard Jeremiah prophesy these things.
2 And Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.
3 And it came to pass the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks; and Jeremiah said unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see {it}; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall smite them with the sword.
5 And, I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends to whom thou hast prophesied falsehood.
7 Jehovah, thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed; thou hast laid hold of me, and hast prevailed; I am become a derision the whole day: every one mocketh me.
8 For as oft as I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and spoil; for the word of Jehovah is become unto me a reproach and a derision all the day.
9 And I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: but it was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones; and I became wearied with holding in, and I could not.
10 For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: Report, and we will report it. All my familiars are watching for my stumbling: Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him; and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 But Jehovah is with me as a mighty terrible one; therefore my persecutors shall stumble and shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, for they have not prospered: it shall be an everlasting confusion that shall not be forgotten.
12 And thou, Jehovah of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
13 Sing ye unto Jehovah, praise Jehovah, for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein my mother bore me be blessed!
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad!
16 And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday,
17 because he slew me not from the womb. Or would that my mother had been my grave, and her womb always great {with me}!
18 Wherefore came I forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?
1 音麦的儿子巴施户珥祭司， 就是耶和华殿的总管， 他听见了耶利米预言这些事，
2 就殴打耶利米先知， 把他枷锁在耶和华殿里， 朝向便雅悯的上门内。
3 次日， 巴施户珥把耶利米从枷锁上解下来， 耶利米就对他说： "耶和华不再称你的名为巴施户珥， 却要称你为玛歌珥．米撒毕（"玛歌珥．米撒毕"意即"四围惊慌"）。
4 因为耶和华这样说： ‘看哪！ 我要使你自己和你所有的朋友都惊惶失措； 他们必倒在他们仇敌的刀下， 你也必亲眼看见。我要把全犹大交在巴比伦王手中； 他要把他们掳到巴比伦去， 或用刀击杀他们。
5 我要把这城的一切财物、一切劳碌得来的、一切珍宝和犹大列王的一切宝物， 都交在他们仇敌的手中； 仇敌要把这一切抢劫掠夺， 带回巴比伦去。
6 巴施户珥啊！ 你和所有住在你家里的人， 都要被掳去； 你和你所有的朋友， 就是你向他们说假预言的， 都要到巴比伦去， 死在那里， 也葬在那里。’"
7 耶和华啊！ 你愚弄了我， 我受了愚弄； 你比我强大， 你胜了我。我整天成了别人讥笑的对象， 人人都嘲弄我。
8 因为我每次发言， 都大声呼叫； 我呼喊， 说： "有强暴和毁灭！ "耶和华的话使我整天受人辱骂和讥讽。
9 如果我说： "我不再提起他， 也不再奉他的名说话"， 他的话就像火在我心中焚烧， 被困在我的骨里； 我不能再抑制， 实在不能了。
10 我听见许多人耳语： "玛歌珥．米撒毕！ 告发他， 我们要告发他！ "我所有的知己朋友都等着看我行差踏错， 他们说： "希望他会上当， 我们就可以胜过他， 向他报复。"
11 但耶和华与我同在， 像一个威武可畏的勇士， 因此， 逼迫我的都必跌倒， 不能得胜。他们必大大蒙羞， 因为他们失败了； 这永远的耻辱是人不能忘记的。
12 万军之耶和华啊！ 你试验义人， 察看人的心肠肺腑； 求你让我看见你在他们身上施行的报复， 因为我已经把我的案件向你陈明了。
13 你们要歌颂耶和华， 赞美耶和华； 因为他救了穷乏人的性命， 脱离恶人的手。
14 愿我生的那一天受咒诅！ 愿我母亲生我的那一天不蒙祝福！
15 那向我父亲报喜信： "你得了一个男孩"， 叫我父亲十分高兴的， 愿那人受咒诅！
16 愿那人像耶和华所倾覆而不顾惜的城市， 愿他早晨听见哀号， 午间听见战争的吶喊。
17 因为他没有使我死于母腹， 好使我的母亲成了我的坟墓， 我永远留在母腹中。
18 我为什么要出母胎， 经历劳苦和忧伤， 并且我的年日都消逝在羞辱之中呢？
