耶利米书 33
1 耶利米还囚在护卫兵的院内，耶和华的话第二次临到他说：
Moreover the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 “成就的是耶和华，造作、为要建立的也是耶和华；耶和华是他的名。他如此说：
“The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:
3 你求告我，我就应允你，并将你所不知道、又大又难的事指示你。
‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you do not know.’
4 论到这城中的房屋和犹大王的宫室，就是拆毁为挡敌人高垒和刀剑的，耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword:
5 人要与迦勒底人争战，正是拿死尸充满这房屋，就是我在怒气和忿怒中所杀的人，因他们的一切恶，我就掩面不顾这城。
‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,
6 看哪，我要使这城得以痊愈安舒，使城中的人得医治，又将丰盛的平安和诚实显明与他们。
behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 我也要使犹大被掳的和以色列被掳的归回，并建立他们和起初一样。
I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
8 我要除净他们的一切罪，就是向我所犯的罪；又要赦免他们的一切罪，就是干犯我、违背我的罪。
I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
9 这城要在地上万国人面前使我得颂赞，得荣耀，名为可喜可乐之城。万国人因听见我向这城所赐的福乐、所施的恩惠平安，就惧怕战兢。”
This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”
10 耶和华如此说：“你们论这地方，说是荒废无人民无牲畜之地，但在这荒凉无人民无牲畜的犹大城邑和耶路撒冷的街上，
The LORD says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
11 必再听见有欢喜和快乐的声音、新郎和新妇的声音，并听见有人说： 要称谢万军之耶和华， 因耶和华本为善； 他的慈爱永远长存！ 又有奉感谢祭到耶和华殿中之人的声音；因为我必使这地被掳的人归回，和起初一样。这是耶和华说的。”
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Armies, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says the LORD.
12 万军之耶和华如此说：“在这荒废无人民无牲畜之地，并其中所有的城邑，必再有牧人的住处；他们要使羊群躺卧在那里。
The LORD of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 在山地的城邑、高原的城邑、南地的城邑、便雅悯地、耶路撒冷四围的各处，和犹大的城邑必再有羊群从数点的人手下经过。这是耶和华说的。”
In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says the LORD.
14 耶和华说：“日子将到，我应许以色列家和犹大家的恩言必然成就。
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
15 当那日子，那时候，我必使大卫公义的苗裔长起来；他必在地上施行公平和公义。
“In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
16 在那日子犹大必得救，耶路撒冷必安然居住，他的名必称为‘耶和华—我们的义’。
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: The LORD our righteousness.”
17 “因为耶和华如此说：大卫必永不断人坐在以色列家的宝座上；
For the LORD says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
18 祭司、利未人在我面前也不断人献燔祭、烧素祭，时常办理献祭的事。”
The Levitical priests will not lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
19 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 “耶和华如此说：你们若能废弃我所立白日黑夜的约，使白日黑夜不按时轮转，
“The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
21 就能废弃我与我仆人大卫所立的约，使他没有儿子在他的宝座上为王，并能废弃我与事奉我的祭司、利未人所立的约。
then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he will not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.
22 天上的万象不能数算，海边的尘沙也不能斗量；我必照样使我仆人大卫的后裔和事奉我的利未人多起来。”
As the army of the sky cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
23 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 “你没有揣摩这百姓的话吗？他们说：‘耶和华所拣选的二族，他已经弃绝了。’他们这样藐视我的百姓，以为不再成国。
“Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
25 耶和华如此说：若是我立白日黑夜的约不能存住，若是我未曾安排天地的定例，
The LORD says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,
26 我就弃绝雅各的后裔和我仆人大卫的后裔，不使大卫的后裔治理亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的后裔；因为我必使他们被掳的人归回，也必怜悯他们。”
then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
