< Jeremiah 30 >
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying: —
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:
2 Thus, speaketh Yahweh, God of Israel, saying, —Write thee all the words which I have spoken unto thee in a scroll;
“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 For lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, Saith Yahweh, —and will bring them back into the land which I gave to their fathers that they might possess it.
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 Now, these, are the words which Yahweh hath spoken against Israel and against Judah:
以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话:
5 Yea, thus, saith Yahweh, A voice of trembling, have we heard, Dread and not welfare!
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 Ask, I pray you, and see, whether a male travaileth with child! Why have I seen Every man with his hands upon his loins like a woman in travail, and Every face turned into ghastliness?
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 Alas! for, great, is that day, so that none is like it, —Yea, a time of anguish it is for Jacob, But out of it, shall he be saved.
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 And it shall come to pass in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bonds, will I tear off, —And foreigners shall use him as a slave no more;
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 But they shall serve Yahweh their God, —and David their king, whom I will raise up unto 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 Thou therefore do not fear O my Servant Jacob Urgeth Yahweh, Neither be thou dismayed, O Israel, For behold me! saving thee from afar And thy seed out of the land of their captivity, —Then shall Jacob return, and rest and be quiet, And there shall be none to make him afraid;
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 For with thee, am, I, Declareth Yahweh To save thee, —Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, Yet will I not of thee, make an end, But will chastise thee in measure, not holding thee, guiltless!
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 For Thus, saith Yahweh—incurable is thine injury, —Grievous is thy wound:
耶和华如此说: 你的损伤无法医治; 你的伤痕极其重大。
13 There is none to plead thy cause for binding thee up, —Healing bandages, hast thou none:
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 thy lovers, have forgotten thee, Thyself, do they not seek, —For With the wounding of an enemy, have I wounded thee With the correction of one who is cruel, Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, Because numerous have been thy 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 shouldst thou make outcry over thine injury, Incurable is thy pain? Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, [Because] numerous have been thy sins Have I done these things unto thee.
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 Therefore, all who devour thee, shall be devoured, And, all thine adversaries—all of them, into captivity, shall depart, —So shall they who plundered thee, be plundered, And all who preyed upon thee, will I deliver up as a prey.
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 For I will put a bandage upon thee, And from thy wounds, will I heal thee Declareth Yahweh, —Because An outcast, they called thee, ‘Tis, Zion! who hath none to ask for her welfare,
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 Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! bringing back the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And on his habitations, will I have compassion, —So shall the city be built, upon her own mound, And the citadel, upon its own site, shall remain:
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 So shall there proceed from them thanksgiving, and The sound of them who make merry, —And I will multiply them, and they shall not become few, And will make them honourable, and they shall not be despised:
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 And, his sons, shall come to be as aforetime, And, his assembly, before me, shall continue, —And I will bring punishment on all his oppressors;
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 And, his illustrious one, shall spring, from himself, And his ruler, from his own midst, shall proceed, And I will bring him near and he shall approach unto me, —For who is there that hath pledged his own heart to approach unto me? Demandeth Yahweh:
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 So shall ye become my people; And, I, will become your God.
你们要作我的子民, 我要作你们的 神。
23 Lo! the tempest of Yahweh! Indignation, hath come forth, A tempest rolling itself upward, —Upon the head of the lawless ones, shall it hurl itself down!
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 fierceness of the anger of Yahweh will not turn back, Until he hath executed nor Until he hath established The purposes of his heart, —In the afterpart of the days, shall ye understand it.
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。
