Jeremiah 30
1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
耶和华的话临到耶利米说：
2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down in a book everything I've told you.
“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 Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring back my people Israel and Judah from captivity, declares the Lord. I will bring them back to the country I gave to their forefathers, and they will own it again.
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 This what the Lord said about Israel and Judah.
以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话：
5 This is what the Lord says: Hear the cries of panic, cries of fear, not 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 Think about it! Can men give birth? No. So why do I see every man holding his stomach with his hands like a woman in labor. Why is every face white as a sheet?
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 What a terrible day it will be—a day like never before! This is the time of trouble for Jacob's descendants, but they will be rescued from 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 On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off their chains. Foreigners won't make them slaves anymore.
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 They will serve the Lord their God, and their king, David's descendant whom I will give 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 As far as you're concerned, my servant Jacob, don't be afraid, declares the Lord, Israel, don't be discouraged. I promise to save you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. The descendants of Jacob will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
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 I am with you and I will save you, declares the Lord. Even though I'm going to completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you 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 This is what the Lord says: You have a wound that cannot be healed, you have a terrible injury.
耶和华如此说： 你的损伤无法医治； 你的伤痕极其重大。
13 There's no one to take care of your case, no cure for your sores, no healing for you.
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 your lovers have forgotten about you; they don't bother looking for you anymore, because I have beaten you as if I were your enemy, the discipline of a cruel person, because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
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 are you crying over your wound? You pain can't be cured. I did this to you because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
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 Even so, everyone who destroys you will be destroyed. All your enemies, every last one, will be sent into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who robbed you will be robbed.
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 But I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because people say you've been abandoned and that no one cares about you, Zion.
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 This is what the Lord says: I will bring Jacob's descendants back to their homes and have mercy on their families. The city will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the palace once again stand where it should.
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 People will be singing songs of thanks, the sounds of celebration. I will increase their number—they will not become less. I will honor them—they will not be treated as insignificant.
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 children will be looked after like they used to be. I will make their nation strong again, and punish anyone who attacks 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 Their leader will be from their own country, their ruler will be chosen from among them. I will invite him to come close to me, and he will do so, for would anyone dare to approach me without being asked? declares the Lord.
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 You will 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 Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads 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 Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
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。
