Jeremiah 30
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
這是上主傳給耶肋米亞的話：
2 “Thus spoke YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you on a scroll.
上主以色列的天主這樣說：「凡我對你說的話，你都要寫在一本書上，
3 For behold, days are coming—a declaration of YHWH—and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said YHWH, and I have caused them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they possess it.”
因為，看，時日將到──上主的斷語──我必轉變我人民以色列和猶大的命運──上主說──使他們回去佔領我賜給他們祖先的土地。」
4 And these [are] the words that YHWH has spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
以下是上主論及以色列和猶大說的話：
5 Surely thus said YHWH: “We have heard a voice of trembling, Fear—and there is no peace.
上主這樣說：「人聽到了恐怖的喊叫：只有恐慌，沒有平安。
6 Now ask and see, is a male bringing forth? Why have I seen every man [With] his hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
你們且自問自究：是否男人要生產﹖為什麼我竟見人人兩手叉腰，像正在生產的婦女，個個面色顯得蒼白﹖
7 Woe! For that day [is] great, without any like it, Indeed, it [is] the time of Jacob’s tribulation, Yet he is saved out of it.
噫! 這一天，真偉大，無可比擬，雖為雅各伯是痛苦的時期，但他們將由此而得救。
8 And it has come to pass in that day, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, I break his yoke from off your neck, And I draw away your bands, And strangers lay no more service on him.
到了那一天──萬軍上主的斷語──我要折斷他們頸上所負的軛，粉碎他們的鎖鏈，他們不再作外方人的奴隸，
9 And they have served their God YHWH, And David their king whom I raise up to them.
只服事上主，他們的天主，和我給他們興起的君王達味。
10 And you, do not be afraid, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, Nor be frightened, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.
為此，我的僕人雅各伯，你不用害怕──上主的斷語──以色列，你不要驚慌；因為，看，我必從遠方救出你來，從充軍之地救回你的後裔；使雅各伯歸來，居享安寧，無所恐懼，
11 For I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH, “To save you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have scattered you, Only, I do not make an end of you, And I have disciplined you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you.”
因為有我與你同在──上主的斷語──作你的救援。誠然，對我使你流徙所到的各民族，我要執行毀滅；但對你，我卻不執行毀滅，只依正義懲罰你，不讓你全然免罰。」
12 For thus said YHWH: “Your breach is incurable, your stroke grievous,
不錯，上主這樣說：「你的創傷不可治療，你的傷口無法醫治；
13 There is none judging your cause to bind up, There are no healing medicines for you.
沒有人願意擔任調理你的創傷，無藥可使你的傷處收結。
14 All loving you have forgotten you, They do not seek you, For I struck you with the stroke of an enemy, The discipline of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, your sins have been mighty!
你所有的愛人都忘掉了你，不再追求你，因為我像打擊敵人一樣，以殘酷的刑罰打擊了你，因為你太不義，你的罪惡，增添不已。
15 Why do you cry concerning your breach? Your pain [is] incurable, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Your sins have been mighty! I have done these to you.
為什麼你還要為你的創傷悲號﹖你的創傷已不可治療：因為你太不義，你的罪惡增添不已，我纔這樣對待了你。
16 Therefore all consuming you are consumed, And all your adversaries—all of them—Go into captivity, And your spoilers have been for a spoil, And I give up all your plunderers to plunder.
但是，凡吞滅你的，必被吞滅；凡與你為敵的，必被擄去充軍；凡劫掠你的，必遭劫掠；凡搶奪你的，我必使他們受人搶奪。
17 For I increase health to you, And I heal you from your strokes,” A declaration of YHWH, “For they have called you an outcast, [saying], It [is] Zion, There is none seeking for her.”
實在，我要使你的傷處收結，療愈你的創傷──上主的斷語──因為他們稱你為棄婦，無人過問的熙雍。」
18 Thus said YHWH: “Behold, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And I pity his dwelling places, And the city has been built on its heap, And the palace remains according to its ordinance.
上主這樣說：「看，我要轉變雅各伯帳幕的命運，憐憫他的家室，好使城市仍建在自己的山上，宮殿依然聳立在自己的原處，
19 And thanksgiving has gone forth from them, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honorable, and they are not small.
從那裏發出頌謝的歌聲，歡樂的呼聲。我必使他們繁昌，人數不再滅少；我要顯耀他們，使他們不再受人輕視。
20 And his sons have been as before, And his congregation is established before Me, And I have seen after all his oppressors.
他們的子孫必要像昔日一樣，在 面前重新建立自己的集會；凡壓迫他們的，我必予以懲罰。
21 And his majestic one has been of himself, And his ruler goes forth from his midst, And I have caused him to draw near, And he has drawn near to Me, For who [is] he who has pledged his heart To draw near to Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
他們的元首，將是他們中的一個；他們的統帥，將出自他們之中；我要使他們前來接近我，他必與我接近，因為誰敢冒的危險，來與我接近──上主的斷語──
22 “And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.”
這樣，你們必作我的人民，我必作你們的天主」。
23 Behold, a whirlwind of YHWH—Fury has gone forth—a cutting whirlwind, It stays on the head of the wicked.
看，上主的憤怒如暴風怒號，如撗掃的暴風，在惡人的頭上施轉。
24 The fierceness of the anger of YHWH Does not turn back until He has done [it], Indeed, until His establishing the purposes of His heart. In the latter end of the days you consider it!
上主的烈怒必不止息，直到衪執行完成了衪心裏的計劃；在末日你們必會明瞭。
