Jeremiah 30
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：
2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
「耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：你將我對你說過的一切話都寫在書上。
3 For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
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。」
4 These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
以下是耶和華論到以色列和猶大所說的話：
5 Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.
耶和華如此說：我們聽見聲音， 是戰抖懼怕而不平安的聲音。
6 Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?
你們且訪問看看， 男人有產難嗎？ 我怎麼看見人人用手掐腰， 像產難的婦人， 臉面都變青了呢？
7 How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.
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。
8 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.
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。
9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
你們卻要事奉耶和華－你們的上帝和我為你們所要興起的王大衛。」
10 As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.
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。
11 For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
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。 這是耶和華說的。
12 For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.
耶和華如此說： 你的損傷無法醫治； 你的傷痕極其重大。
13 There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.
無人為你分訴， 使你的傷痕得以纏裹； 你沒有醫治的良藥。
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.
你所親愛的都忘記你， 不來探問你。 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。
15 Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.
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。
16 Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them— will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.
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。
17 But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”
耶和華說：我必使你痊癒， 醫好你的傷痕， 都因人稱你為被趕散的， 說：這是錫安，無人來探問的！
18 This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
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。
19 Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.
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。
20 Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.
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。
21 Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?”
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。
22 “And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
你們要作我的子民， 我要作你們的上帝。
23 Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
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。
24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.
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。
