Jeremiah 31
1 “At that time,” a declaration of YHWH, “I am the God of all families of Israel, And they are My people.”
耶和华说：“那时，我必作以色列各家的 神；他们必作我的子民。”
2 Thus said YHWH: “A people remaining from the sword Have found grace in the wilderness When Israel went to find rest.”
耶和华如此说： 脱离刀剑的就是以色列人。 我使他享安息的时候， 他曾在旷野蒙恩。
3 YHWH has appeared to me from afar, “I have loved you with perpetual love, Therefore I have drawn you [with] kindness.
古时耶和华向以色列显现，说： 我以永远的爱爱你， 因此我以慈爱吸引你。
4 I build you again, And you have been built, O virgin of Israel, You put on your tambourines again, And have gone out in the chorus of the playful.
以色列的民哪， 我要再建立你，你就被建立； 你必再以击鼓为美， 与欢乐的人一同跳舞而出；
5 You plant vineyards in mountains of Samaria again, Planters have planted, and made common.
又必在撒马利亚的山上栽种葡萄园， 栽种的人要享用所结的果子。
6 For there is a day, Watchmen have cried on Mount Ephraim, Rise, and we go up to Zion, to our God YHWH”;
日子必到，以法莲山上守望的人必呼叫说： 起来吧！我们可以上锡安， 到耶和华—我们的 神那里去。
7 For thus said YHWH: “Sing [with] joy for Jacob, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound, praise, and say, Save, O YHWH, Your people, the remnant of Israel.
耶和华如此说： 你们当为雅各欢乐歌唱， 因万国中为首的欢呼。 当传扬颂赞说： 耶和华啊， 求你拯救你的百姓以色列所剩下的人。
8 Behold, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Blind and lame [are] among them, Conceiving and travailing one—together, A great assembly—they return here.
我必将他们从北方领来， 从地极招聚； 同着他们来的有瞎子、瘸子、孕妇、产妇； 他们必成为大帮回到这里来。
9 They come in with weeping, And I bring them with supplications, I cause them to go to streams of waters, In a right way—they do not stumble in it, For I have been a Father to Israel, And Ephraim—he [is] My firstborn.”
他们要哭泣而来。 我要照他们恳求的引导他们， 使他们在河水旁走正直的路， 在其上不致绊跌； 因为我是以色列的父， 以法莲是我的长子。
10 Hear a word of YHWH, O nations, And declare among the far off in the islands, and say: He who is scattering Israel gathers him, And has kept His flock as a shepherd,
列国啊，要听耶和华的话， 传扬在远处的海岛说： 赶散以色列的必招聚他， 又看守他，好像牧人看守羊群。
11 For YHWH has ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
因耶和华救赎了雅各， 救赎他脱离比他更强之人的手。
12 And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed to the goodness of YHWH, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul has been as a watered garden, And they do not add to grieve anymore.
他们要来到锡安的高处歌唱， 又流归耶和华施恩之地， 就是有五谷、新酒，和油， 并羊羔、牛犊之地。 他们的心必像浇灌的园子； 他们也不再有一点愁烦。
13 “Then a virgin rejoices in a chorus, Both young men and old men—together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,
那时，处女必欢乐跳舞； 年少的、年老的，也必一同欢乐； 因为我要使他们的悲哀变为欢喜， 并要安慰他们，使他们的愁烦转为快乐。
14 And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people are satisfied with My goodness,” A declaration of YHWH.
我必以肥油使祭司的心满足； 我的百姓也要因我的恩惠知足。 这是耶和华说的。
15 Thus said YHWH: “A voice is heard in Ramah, Wailing [and] the weeping of bitterness, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She has refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.”
耶和华如此说： 在拉玛听见号咷痛哭的声音， 是拉结哭她儿女，不肯受安慰， 因为他们都不在了。
16 Thus said YHWH: “Withhold your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, For there is a reward for your work,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have turned back from the land of the enemy.
耶和华如此说： 你禁止声音不要哀哭， 禁止眼目不要流泪， 因你所做之工必有赏赐； 他们必从敌国归回。 这是耶和华说的。
17 And there is hope for your latter end,” A declaration of YHWH, “And the sons have turned back [to] their border.
耶和华说：你末后必有指望； 你的儿女必回到自己的境界。
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, You have disciplined me, And I am disciplined, as a heifer [that is] not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For You [are] my God YHWH.
我听见以法莲为自己悲叹说： 你责罚我，我便受责罚， 像不惯负轭的牛犊一样。 求你使我回转，我便回转， 因为你是耶和华—我的 神。
19 For after my turning back I regretted, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne the reproach of my youth.
我回转以后就真正懊悔； 受教以后就拍腿叹息； 我因担当幼年的凌辱就抱愧蒙羞。
20 Is Ephraim a precious son to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I still thoroughly remember him, Therefore My bowels have been moved for him, I love him greatly,” A declaration of YHWH.
耶和华说：以法莲是我的爱子吗？ 是可喜悦的孩子吗？ 我每逢责备他，仍深顾念他； 所以我的心肠恋慕他； 我必要怜悯他。
21 “Set up signs for yourself, Make heaps for yourself, Set your heart to the highway, the way you went, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back to these cities of yours.
以色列民哪， 你当为自己设立指路碑， 竖起引路柱。 你要留心向大路， 就是你所去的原路； 你当回转，回转到你这些城邑。
22 Until when do you withdraw yourself, O backsliding daughter? For YHWH has prepared a new thing in the land, Woman surrounds man.”
背道的民哪， 你反来复去要到几时呢？ 耶和华在地上造了一件新事， 就是女子护卫男子。
23 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, YHWH blesses you, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.
万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：“我使被掳之人归回的时候，他们在犹大地和其中的城邑必再这样说： 公义的居所啊， 圣山哪，愿耶和华赐福给你。
24 And farmers have dwelt in Judah, And in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
犹大和属犹大城邑的人，农夫和放羊的人，要一同住在其中。
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, And I have filled every grieved soul.”
疲乏的人，我使他饱饫；愁烦的人，我使他知足。”
26 On this I have awoken, and I behold, and my sleep has been sweet to me.
先知说：“我醒了，觉着睡得香甜！”
27 “Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man and seed of beast.
耶和华说：“日子将到，我要把人的种和牲畜的种播种在以色列家和犹大家。
28 And it has been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So I watch over them to build, and to plant,” A declaration of YHWH.
我先前怎样留意将他们拔出、拆毁、毁坏、倾覆、苦害，也必照样留意将他们建立、栽植。这是耶和华说的。
29 “In those days they no longer say: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons’ teeth are blunted.
当那些日子，人不再说： 父亲吃了酸葡萄， 儿子的牙酸倒了。
30 But—each dies for his own iniquity, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, His teeth are blunted.
但各人必因自己的罪死亡；凡吃酸葡萄的，自己的牙必酸倒。”
31 Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have made a new covenant With the house of Israel And with the house of Judah,
耶和华说：“日子将到，我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约，
32 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made My covenant void, And I ruled over them,” A declaration of YHWH.
不像我拉着他们祖宗的手，领他们出埃及地的时候，与他们所立的约。我虽作他们的丈夫，他们却背了我的约。这是耶和华说的。”
33 “For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have given My law in their inward part, And I write it on their heart, And I have been their God, And they are My people.
耶和华说：“那些日子以后，我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样：我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上。我要作他们的 神，他们要作我的子民。
34 And they do not teach anymore Each his neighbor, and each his brother, Saying, Know YHWH, For they all know Me, from their least to their greatest,” A declaration of YHWH; “For I pardon their iniquity, And I make no more mention of their sin.”
他们各人不再教导自己的邻舍和自己的弟兄说：‘你该认识耶和华’，因为他们从最小的到至大的都必认识我。我要赦免他们的罪孽，不再记念他们的罪恶。这是耶和华说的。”
35 Thus said YHWH, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name:
那使太阳白日发光， 使星月有定例，黑夜发亮， 又搅动大海，使海中波浪匉訇的， 万军之耶和华是他的名。 他如此说：
36 “If these statutes depart from before Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “Even the seed of Israel ceases From being a nation before Me [for] all the days.”
这些定例若能在我面前废掉， 以色列的后裔也就在我面前断绝， 永远不再成国。 这是耶和华说的。
37 Thus said YHWH: “If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of earth searched below, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done,” A declaration of YHWH.
耶和华如此说： 若能量度上天， 寻察下地的根基， 我就因以色列后裔一切所行的弃绝他们。 这是耶和华说的。
38 “Behold, days [are coming],” A declaration of YHWH, “And the city has been built for YHWH, From the Tower of Hananeel to the Corner Gate.
耶和华说：“日子将到，这城必为耶和华建造，从哈楠业楼直到角门。
39 And the measuring line has gone out again before it, over the height of Gareb, And it has gone around to Goah.
准绳要往外量出，直到迦立山，又转到歌亚。
40 And all the valley of the carcasses and of the ashes, And all the fields to the Brook of Kidron, To the corner of the Horse Gate eastward, [Are] holy to YHWH, It is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down anymore for all time!”
抛尸的全谷和倒灰之处，并一切田地，直到汲沦溪，又直到东方马门的拐角，都要归耶和华为圣，不再拔出，不再倾覆，直到永远。”
