耶利米書 第 30 章

¹耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

²耶和華─以色列的神如此說：你將我對你說過的一切話都寫在書上。Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

³耶和華說：日子將到，我要使我的百姓以色列和猶大被擄的人歸回；我也要使他們回到我所賜給他們列祖之地，他們就得這地為業。這是耶和華說的。For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

⁴以下是耶和華論到以色列和猶大所說的話：And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

⁵耶和華如此說：我們聽見聲音，是戰抖懼怕而不平安的聲音。For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

⁶你們且訪問看看，男人有產難麼？我怎麼看見人人用手掐腰，像產難的婦人，臉面都變青了呢？Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

⁷哀哉！那日為大，無日可比；這是雅各遭難的時候，但他必被救出來。Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

⁸萬軍之耶和華說：到那日，我必從你頸項上折斷仇敵的軛，扭開他的繩索；外邦人不得再使你作他們的奴僕。For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

⁹你們卻要事奉耶和華─你們的神和我為你們所要興起的王大衛。But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

¹⁰故此，耶和華說：我的僕人雅各啊，不要懼怕；以色列啊，不要驚惶；因我要從遠方拯救你，從被擄到之地拯救你的後裔；雅各必回來得享平靖安逸，無人使他害怕。Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

¹¹因我與你同在，要拯救你，也要將所趕散你到的那些國滅絕淨盡，卻不將你滅絕淨盡，倒要從寬懲治你，萬不能不罰你（不罰你：或譯以你為無罪）。這是耶和華說的。For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

¹²耶和華如此說：你的損傷無法醫治；你的傷痕極其重大。For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

¹³無人為你分訴，使你的傷痕得以纏裹；你沒有醫治的良藥。There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

¹⁴你所親愛的都忘記你，不來探問（或譯：理會）你。我因你的罪孽甚大，罪惡眾多，曾用仇敵加的傷害傷害你，用殘忍者的懲治懲治你。All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

¹⁵你為何因損傷哀號呢？你的痛苦無法醫治。我因你的罪孽甚大，罪惡眾多，曾將這些加在你身上。Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

¹⁶故此，凡吞吃你的必被吞吃；你的敵人個個都被擄去；擄掠你的必成為擄物；搶奪你的必成為掠物。Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

¹⁷耶和華說：我必使你痊愈，醫好你的傷痕，都因人稱你為被趕散的，說：這是錫安，無人來探問（或譯：理會）的！For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

¹⁸耶和華如此說：我必使雅各被擄去的帳棚歸回，也必顧惜他的住處。城必建造在原舊的山岡；宮殿也照舊有人居住。Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

¹⁹必有感謝和歡樂的聲音從其中發出，我要使他們增多，不致減少；使他們尊榮，不致卑微。And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

²⁰他們的兒女要如往日；他們的會眾堅立在我面前；凡欺壓他們的，我必刑罰他。Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

²¹他們的君王必是屬乎他們的；掌權的必從他們中間而出。我要使他就近我，他也要親近我；不然，誰有膽量親近我呢？這是耶和華說的。And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

²²你們要作我的子民，我要作你們的神。And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²³看哪，耶和華的忿怒好像暴風已經發出；是掃滅的暴風，必轉到惡人的頭上。Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

²⁴耶和華的烈怒必不轉消，直到他心中所擬定的成就了；末後的日子你們要明白。The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
