Jeremiah 33
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined to the atrium of the prison, saying:
米亞還拘禁在監獄的庭的時候，又有上主的話傳給他說：
2 “Thus says the Lord, who will prepare, and form, and accomplish it; the Lord is his name.
那創造形成和奠定大地，且名叫「雅威」的上主這樣說：
3 Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
你呼喚我，我必答覆你，把偉大和你不認識的奧秘事情告訴你。
4 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
上主以色列的天主這樣論及這城為圍攻工事和武力摧毀的房屋和猶大王宮說──
5 of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
他們前去與加色丁人交戰，只不過是將屍體充塞城市，因為我以盛怒殺戳了他們，因了他們的種種罪惡，我已掩面不顧這城市──
6 Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
看，我必使他們的瘡痍收口痊愈，獲得醫治；給他們大開和平和安寧的寶庫；
7 And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
轉變猶大和以色列的命運，使他們復興如初；
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised me.
洗除他們得罪我的一切犯罪，赦免他們得罪和違背我的一切過犯。
9 And this will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
這城必使在普世萬民間獲得喜慶、讚美和光榮；他們聽到我對這城行的一切善事，必因我賜給這城的種種幸福與和平，起敬起畏。
10 Thus says the Lord: Still shall there be heard in this place, (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast, ) and in the cities of Judah and outside of Jerusalem, (which are desolate, without man, and without an inhabitant and without cattle, )
上主這樣說：「在你們所謂人獸絕跡的荒野地方，在猶大的城市和耶路撒冷，沒有居民和牲畜的荒涼街上，
11 the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Confess to the Lord of hosts! For the Lord is good! For his mercy is eternal!’ and the voice of those fulfilling their vows in the house of the Lord. For I will lead back the turning away of the land, just as from the beginning, says the Lord.”
人還聽到愉快和喜樂的聲音，新郎娘和貪污的聲音；還要聽到上主在上主殿宇奉獻感恩的人說：請你們讚頌萬軍的上主，因為上主是美善的，衪的慈愛永遠常存；因為我要轉變這地的命運，使它復興如初──上主說」。
12 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Still shall there be in this place, (which is desolate without man and without beast, ) and in all of its cities: a habitation for the shepherds giving rest to their flocks.
萬軍的上主這樣說：「在這人獸絕跡的地方，和其中所有的城市裏，仍要有牧童牧放羊群的牧埸；
13 For even in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, still shall the flocks travel by the hand of him who numbers them, says the Lord.
在山地和平原以及南的各城鏔裏，在本雅明地，在耶路撒冷城郊，在猶大的各城市裏，仍要有人點手下經過的羊群──上主說。
14 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
看，時日將到──上主的斷語──我要實踐我對以色列家和猶大家預許賜福的諾言。
15 In those days and at that time, I will cause the seedling of justice to spring up from David, and he will accomplish judgment and justice upon the earth.
在那些日子裏，在那時期內，我必由達味出生一正義的曲芽，在地上執行公道和正義；
16 In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’
在那時日裏，猶大必獲救，耶路撒冷必居享安寧，人用以稱叫她的名字將是「上主是我們的正義」。
17 For thus says the Lord: There shall not cease to be a man from David sitting upon the throne of the house of Israel.
因為上主這樣說：達味總不斷有人坐在以色列家的寶座上；
18 And there shall not cease to be a man from the priests and from the Levites before my face, who offers holocausts, and burns sacrifices, and kills victims, for days without end.”
肋未司祭也總不斷有人站在我面前奉獻全燔祭，焚燒祭品，天天殺牲舉祭」。
19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
20 “Thus says the Lord: If my covenant with the day is able to be nullified, or my covenant with the night, such that there would be no day and no night in their time,
「上主這樣說：假若你能破壞我與白日黑夜訂立 盟約，使白日黑夜不再依循自己的時序，
21 then, too, my covenant with David, my servant, may be nullified, such that he would not have a son who reigns upon his throne, with both the Levites and the priests as my ministers.
那我與我僕達味的盟約也就可以破壞，使他再沒有兒子繼位為王；我與我的僕役肋未司祭的盟約，也就可以破壞。
22 Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”
我要這樣增添我僕達味的後裔和服事我的肋未人，有如天上數不清的軍旅，海中量不盡的沙粒」。
23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
有的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
24 “Have you not seen what this people has spoken? They say: ‘The two families which the Lord had chosen have been rejected.’ And so they have despised my people, as if they were no longer a nation in their sight.
「難道你沒有注意這人民說些什麼話嗎﹖他們說：上主揀選了兩個家族，如今又把他們拋棄了! 他們竟這樣輕視我的人民，不再把他們看作一個民族。
25 Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with the day and the night, and my laws over heaven and earth,
上主這樣說：假若我沒有與白日黑夜訂立盟約，沒有給上天下地設立軌道，
26 then truly I will also cast aside the offspring of Jacob, and of David, my servant, so that I do not take up any of his offspring to be leaders over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will lead back their turning away, and I will take pity on them.”
我就可以拋棄雅各伯與我僕達味的後裔，不再由他的後裔選拔人，來統治亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯的 後裔，因為我必要憐憫他們，轉變他們的命運」。
