Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah the second time (while he was yet shut vp in the court of 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 sayth the Lord, the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, and established 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 Call vnto me, and I will answere thee, and shewe thee great and mightie 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 the Lord God of Israel, concerning the houses of this citie, and concerning the houses of the Kings of Iudah, which are destroyed by the mounts, and by 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 Caldeans, but it is to fill themselues with the dead bodies of men, whome I haue slaine in mine anger and in my wrath: for I haue hid my face from this citie, because of all their wickednes.
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 giue it health and amendment: for I wil cure them, and will reueile vnto them the abundance of peace, and trueth.
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 wil cause the captiuitie of Iudah and the captiuitie of Israel to returne, and will build them as at the first.
轉變猶大和以色列的命運，使他們復興如初；
8 And I wil clense them from all their iniquitie, whereby they haue sinned against me: yea, I wil pardon all their iniquities, whereby they haue sinned against me, and whereby they haue rebelled 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 shalbe to me a name, a ioy, a praise, and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall heare all ye good that I doe vnto them: and they shall feare and tremble for all the goodnes, and for all the wealth, that I shew vnto this citie.
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 sayth the Lord, Againe there shalbe heard in this place (which ye say shalbe desolate, without man, and without beast, euen in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, 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 The voyce of ioy and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome, and the voyce of the bride, the voyce of them that shall say, Prayse the Lord of hostes, because the Lord is good: for his mercy endureth for euer, and of them that offer the sacrifice of prayse in the House of the Lord, for I will cause to returne the captiuitie of the land, as at the first, sayth 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 sayth the Lord of hostes, Againe in this place, which is desolate, without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof there shall be dwelling for shepheards to rest their flockes.
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 mountaines, in the cities in the plaine, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Beniamin, and about Ierusalem, and in the cities of Iudah shall the sheepe passe againe, vnder the hand of him that telleth them, sayth 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 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil performe that good thing, which I haue promised vnto the house of Israel, and to the house of Iudah.
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 dayes and at that time, wil I cause the branch of righteousnesse to growe vp vnto Dauid, and he shall execute iudgement, and righteousnes 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 dayes shall Iudah be saued, and Ierusalem shall dwell safely, and hee that shall call her, is the Lord our righteousnesse.
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 sayth the Lord, Dauid shall neuer want a man to sit vpon 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 the Priests and Leuites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to offer meat offerings, and to doe 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 worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah, saying,
有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
20 Thus sayth the Lord, If you can breake my couenant of the day, and my couenant of the night, 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 may my couenant be broken with Dauid my seruant, that he should not haue a sonne to reigne vpon his throne, and with the Leuites, and 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 army of heauen can not be nombred, neither the sand of the sea measured: so wil I multiplie the seede of Dauid my seruant, and the Leuites, that minister vnto 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 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came to Ieremiah, saying,
有的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
24 Considerest thou not what this people haue spoken, saying, The two families, which the Lord hath chosen, hee hath euen cast them off? thus they haue despised 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 sayth the Lord, If my couenant be not with day and night, and if I haue not appointed the order of heauen 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 will I cast away the seede of Iaakob and Dauid my seruant, and not take of his seede to be rulers ouer the seede of Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: for I wil cause their captiuitie to returne, and haue compassion 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」。
