Jeremiah 33
1 And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the court 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 saith Jehovah the doer of it, Jehovah that formeth it to establish it, Jehovah 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 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will shew thee great and hidden things, which thou knowest not.
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 saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down because of the mounds and because of 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 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
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 apply a healing dressing to it and cure, and I will heal them, and will reveal unto them an abundance 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 turn the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, as at 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, whereby they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against 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 it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear of all the good that I do unto them; and they shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
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 saith Jehovah: In this place of which ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast! in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
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 there shall again be heard the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give ye thanks unto Jehovah of hosts; for Jehovah is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, — of them that bring thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah. For I will turn the captivity of the land as in the beginning, saith Jehovah.
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 saith Jehovah of hosts: In this place which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, there shall again be a habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.
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 In the cities of the hill-country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counteth [them], saith Jehovah.
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 come, saith Jehovah, that I will perform the good word which I have spoken unto the house of Israel and unto 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, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
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 shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety. And this is the name wherewith she shall be called: Jehovah our Righteousness.
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 saith Jehovah: There shall never fail to David a man to sit 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 neither shall there fail to the priests the Levites a man before me to offer up burnt-offerings, and to burn oblations, and to do sacrifice continually.
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 Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
20 Thus saith Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant [in respect] of the day, and my covenant [in respect] of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season,
「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] shall also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites, the priests, 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 As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
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 Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
有的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
24 Hast thou not seen what this people have spoken, saying, The two families that Jehovah had chosen, he hath even cast them off? And they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
「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 saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night [stand] not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of the heavens and the 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] will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will turn their captivity, and will have mercy 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」。
