Jeremiah 33
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, the second time, when he was yet imprisoned in the guard-court, 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, saith Yahweh, who doeth it, —Yahweh, who fashioneth it to establish it, Yahweh, 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 unto me that I may answer thee, —and tell thee things great and inaccessible, which thou hast not known.
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 Yahweh God of Israel, Concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, —which are thrown down against the earthworks and against 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 In entering to fight with the Chaldeans, it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have smitten in mine anger and in mine indignation, —and because of whom I have hidden my face from this city, —by reason of all their wickedness.
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 me! laying upon her a bandage of healing, so will I heal them, —And will reveal to them abundance of prosperity and truth;
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 will bring back Them of the captivity of Judah, and Them of the captivity of Israel, —And I 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 will purify them, from all their iniquity wherewith they have sinned against me, —And I will grant pardon for all their iniquities Wherewith they have sinned against me, and Wherewith they have transgressed 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 So shall she become to me—A name of joy, A praise and An adorning, To all the nations of the earth, —Who will hear all the good which I am doing them, And will dread and be deeply moved over all the good and over all the prosperity which I am causing her.
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, saith Yahweh—Again, shall be heard in this place, as to which ye are saying, Deserted, it is without man or beast, In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, Which are desolate without man or inhabitant or 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 voice of joy, and the voice of gladness The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, The voice of them who are saying, Praise ye Yahweh of hosts, For good is Yahweh For age-abiding is his lovingkindness, The voice of them who are bringing a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh, —For I will bring back the captives of the land, as at the first, Saith Yahweh.
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, saith Yahweh of hosts, Again, shall there be in this place—Which is deserted without man or even beast—And all the cities thereof, —The home of shepherds, causing flocks to lie down.
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 hill country, In the cities of the lowland, and In the cities of the South, and In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, Again shall the flock pass over the hands of the numberer, Saith Yahweh.
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 Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, —when I will establish my good word, which I have spoken—As to the house of Israel And concerning the house of Judah:
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 days and at that time, will I cause to bud unto David A Bud of righteousness, —And he shall execute justice and righteousness 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 days, Judah shall be saved, and, Jerusalem abide, securely, —And, this, is that which shall be proclaimed to her—Yahweh, our righteousness!
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, saith Yahweh, —There shall not be wanting to David—A man to sit upon 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 Nor to the priests the Levites, shall there be wanting—A man, before me, To offer an ascending-sacrifice, or To make a perfume with a gift, or To offer a [peace-] offering, all the days!
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 word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah saying:
有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
20 Thus, saith Yahweh, If ye can break, My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, That there be not 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 My covenant also, may be broken With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne, —And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants:
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 host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon 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 And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying:
有的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
24 Hast thou not observed what, this people, have spoken saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he hath even cast them off? And so, my people, they despise, as though they could not again become a nation in their sight!
「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, saith Yahweh, If my covenant of day and night, the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, I did not appoint,
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 The seed of Jacob also and of David my servant, might I cast off so as not to take of his seed as rulers unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, —For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon 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」。
