< Jeremiah 30 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:
2 Thus speaks Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee in a book.
“耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:你将我对你说过的一切话都写在书上。
3 For, lo, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
耶和华说:日子将到,我要使我的百姓以色列和犹大被掳的人归回;我也要使他们回到我所赐给他们列祖之地,他们就得这地为业。这是耶和华说的。”
4 And these are the words that Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话:
5 For thus says Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
耶和华如此说:我们听见声音, 是战抖惧怕而不平安的声音。
6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
你们且访问看看, 男人有产难吗? 我怎么看见人人用手掐腰, 像产难的妇人, 脸面都变青了呢?
7 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.
哀哉!那日为大, 无日可比; 这是雅各遭难的时候, 但他必被救出来。
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds. And strangers shall no more make him their bondman,
万军之耶和华说:“到那日,我必从你颈项上折断仇敌的轭,扭开他的绳索;外邦人不得再使你作他们的奴仆。
9 but they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
你们却要事奉耶和华—你们的 神和我为你们所要兴起的王大卫。”
10 Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, says Jehovah, nor 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 quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
故此,耶和华说: 我的仆人雅各啊,不要惧怕; 以色列啊,不要惊惶; 因我要从远方拯救你, 从被掳到之地拯救你的后裔; 雅各必回来得享平靖安逸, 无人使他害怕。
11 For I am with thee, says Jehovah, to save thee. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee. But I will correct thee in measure, and will in no way leave thee unpunished.
因我与你同在,要拯救你, 也要将所赶散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。 这是耶和华说的。
12 For thus says Jehovah, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous.
耶和华如此说: 你的损伤无法医治; 你的伤痕极其重大。
13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou may be bound up; thou have no healing medicines.
无人为你分诉, 使你的伤痕得以缠裹; 你没有医治的良药。
14 All who love thee 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 greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.
你所亲爱的都忘记你, 不来探问你。 我因你的罪孽甚大,罪恶众多, 曾用仇敌加的伤害伤害你, 用残忍者的惩治惩治你。
15 Why do thou cry for thy hurt? Thy pain is incurable, for the greatness of thine iniquity. Because thy sins were increased, I have done these things to thee.
你为何因损伤哀号呢? 你的痛苦无法医治。 我因你的罪孽甚大,罪恶众多, 曾将这些加在你身上。
16 Therefore all those who devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity. And those who despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all who prey upon thee I will give for a prey.
故此,凡吞吃你的必被吞吃; 你的敌人个个都被掳去; 掳掠你的必成为掳物; 抢夺你的必成为掠物。
17 For I will restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, says Jehovah, because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
耶和华说:我必使你痊愈, 医好你的伤痕, 都因人称你为被赶散的, 说:这是锡安,无人来探问的!
18 Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places. And the city shall be built upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner.
耶和华如此说: 我必使雅各被掳去的帐棚归回, 也必顾惜他的住处。 城必建造在原旧的山冈; 宫殿也照旧有人居住。
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
必有感谢和欢乐的声音从其中发出, 我要使他们增多,不致减少; 使他们尊荣,不致卑微。
20 Their sons also shall be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me. And I will punish all who oppress them.
他们的儿女要如往日; 他们的会众坚立在我面前; 凡欺压他们的,我必刑罚他。
21 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me. For who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says Jehovah.
他们的君王必是属乎他们的; 掌权的必从他们中间而出。 我要使他就近我, 他也要亲近我; 不然,谁有胆量亲近我呢? 这是耶和华说的。
22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
你们要作我的子民, 我要作你们的 神。
23 Behold, the tempest of Jehovah-wrath-has gone forth, a sweeping tempest. It shall burst upon the head of the wicked.
看哪,耶和华的忿怒 好像暴风已经发出; 是扫灭的暴风, 必转到恶人的头上。
24 The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return until he has executed, and till he has performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days ye shall understand it.
耶和华的烈怒必不转消, 直到他心中所拟定的成就了; 末后的日子你们要明白。
