Jeremiah 31
1 At the time that [the] utterance of Yahweh I will become God for all [the] clans of Israel and they they will become for me a people.
時候────將作以色列各宗族的天主，他們將作我的人民。
2 Thus he says Yahweh it found favor in the wilderness [the] people of [the] survivors of [the] sword I will go to give rest it Israel.
上主這樣說：逃脫了刀劍的，在曠野中找到了聖寵遇；以色列前來自己巿身的地方。
3 From a distance Yahweh he appeared to me and a love of perpetuity I have loved you there-fore I have prolonged to you covenant loyalty.
上主自遠處顯示給她說：我愛妳，我永遠愛妳，因此我給妳留了我的仁慈；
4 Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt O virgin of Israel again you will ornament yourself tambourines your and you will go forth in [the] dancing of merry makers.
我要再修建妳，而妳必建再建立起來；妳必再帶上妳的小鼓，出來歡樂哥舞；
5 Again you will plant vineyards on [the] hills of Samaria they will plant planters and they will put [them] to use.
再在撒馬黎雅山上栽種葡萄，栽種培埴，必有收穫；
6 For there [will be] a day [when] they will call out watchmen in [the] hill country of Ephraim arise so we may go up Zion to Yahweh God our.
因為終有一天，守望的人要在厄弗辣因山上嘁說：起來，讓我們上熙雍去，到上主我們的天主那裏去!
7 For thus - he says Yahweh cry out of Jacob gladness and shout for joy on [the] chief of the nations make a proclamation praise and say save O Yahweh people your [the] remnant of Israel.
因為上主這樣說：你們應為雅各伯歡呼，向為首的民族喝采，傳揚稱讚說：上主救了自己的百姓，以色列的遺民。
8 Here I [am] about to bring them from a land of [the] north and I will gather them from [the] remotest parts of [the] earth [will be] among them [the] blind and [the] lame [the] pregnant and [one] giving birth alike a company great they will return hither.
看，我由北地引他們歸來，從大地的盡頭召集他們，其中有瞎子，有跛子，有懷孕的和正在生產的，形成一大隊回到這裏來。
9 With weeping they will come and with supplications I will bring them I will lead them to torrents of water on a path straight not they will stumble in it for I have become of Israel a father and Ephraim [is] firstborn my he.
他們含淚前行，我卻撫引導，領他們踏上不會跌倒的坦途，來到溪流旁，因為我是以色列的慈父，厄弗辣因是我的長子。
10 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O nations and declare in the islands from a distance and say [the] [one who] scattered of Israel he will gather it and he will keep it like a shepherd flock his.
萬民! 請聽上主的話，向遙遠的海島宣傳說：那
11 For he has ransomed Yahweh Jacob and he has redeemed it from [the] hand of [one too] strong for it.
那昔日驅散以色列的，再要來聚集他們，看守他們像牧童看守自己的羊群。11. 因為上主必拯救雅各伯，比他更強者的手中將他們贖回。
12 And they will come and they will cry out for joy on [the] height of Zion and they will be radiant because of [the] good thing[s] of Yahweh on grain and on new wine and on fresh oil and on [the] young of [the] flock and herd and it will be life their like a garden watered and not they will repeat to languish again.
他們將來前來，在熙雍山巔歡呼，湧向上主的美物，飽享穀、麥、酒、油，子牛小羊；他們的心靈好像受灌溉的田園，再也不感憔悴。
13 Then she will rejoice a virgin with dancing and young men and old [men] alike and I will turn mourning their into joy and I will comfort them and I will make glad them from sorrow their.
那時，處女必歡欣鼓舞，老幼必相聚同樂，因為我將使的悲哀變成喜樂，仗他們由自己的憂苦中獲得安慰歡樂；
14 And I will satisfy [the] appetite of the priests fatness and people my good thing[s] my they will be satisfied [the] utterance of Yahweh.
我將以肥脂滋潤司祭的心靈，以美物飽飫我的人民──上主的斷語。
15 Thus - he says Yahweh a voice in Ramah [is] heard a mourning song weeping of bitterness Rachel [is] weeping on children her she has refused to be comforted on children her for there not [is] he.
上主這樣說：「聽! 在辣瑪有嘆息聲，酸辛哭泣；辣黑耳悲悼自己的兒子，不願接受安慰，因為他們已不存在了! 」
16 Thus - he says Yahweh restrain voice your from weeping and eyes your from tear[s] for there [will be] a reward for work your [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will return from [the] land of [the] enemy.
上主這樣說：「要止往痛哭，不再流淚，因為你的苦終必有報──上主的斷語──他們必會由敵地歸來!
17 And there [is] hope for future your [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will return children to own territory their.
你們的前途大有希望──上主的斷語──你的子孫都要歸回自己的疆域。
18 Certainly I have heard Ephraim bemoaning itself you have disciplined me and I was disciplined like a calf [which] not it had been trained restore me so let me return for you [are] Yahweh God my.
我實在聽到厄弗辣因在悲歎說：你懲罰了我，我受了杖搫，有如一頭不馴服的公牛犢；你使我歸來，我必歸來，因為你是上主，我的天主x。
19 For after turned away I I repented and after was instructed I I slapped on a thigh I was ashamed and also I was humiliated for I bore [the] reproach of youth my.
的確，我離棄你以後，我已後悔；在覺悟以後，我拍腿自慚自愧，因為我又染上了我少年時的恥辱。
20 ¿ A son dear of me [is] Ephraim or? a child of delight for as often as speak I in him certainly I remember him still there-fore they are in a tumult inward parts my for him surely I will have compassion on him [the] utterance of Yahweh.
厄弗辣因豈? 是我的寵兒，我鍾愛嬌子﹖因為我幾時恐嚇他，反倒更顧念他；對他我五內感動，不得不大施愛憐──上主的斷語」。
21 Set up for yourself signposts place for yourself guideposts set heart your to the highway [the] way ([which] you went *Q(K)*) return O virgin of Israel return to cities your these.
請你給自己樹立路程碑，設置指路牌，細心回想你走的路線，以往你走過的大道；以色列處女! 回到妳自己的城邑。
22 Until when? will you vacillate! O daughter apostate for he has created Yahweh a new [thing] on the earth a female she will surround a man.
妳要流浪到幾時﹖叛逆的女兒! 因為上主在地上正在創造一件新事：女人包圍男人。
23 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel again people will say the word this in [the] land of Judah and in cities its when turn back I captivity their may he bless you Yahweh O abode of righteousness O mountain of holiness.
萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：「當我轉變他們的命運時，在猶大地和她城市中的人，還要用這話祝賀說：正義的所在，神聖的山嶺! 願上主祝福你。
24 And they will dwell in it Judah and all cities its together farmers and they will journey with flock.
猶大和她各城中的人，農夫和隨羊遷徒的人，將要同住在那裏，
25 For I give water to [the] throat of [the] weary and every person [who] it has become faint I fill.
因為我要振作困乏的心靈，飽飫一切苦悶的心靈。──
26 On this I awoke and I looked and sleep my it was pleasing to me.
至此，我醒來了，我看見了，我的睡眠為我實在甘甜。
27 Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will sow [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah [the] seed of humankind and [the] seed of animal[s].
──上主的斷語──我要給以色列家和猶大家播散人種和獸種；
28 And it will be just as I kept watch over them to pluck up and to pull down and to tear down and to destroy and to do harm so I will keep watch over them to build and to plant [the] utterance of Yahweh.
就如往昔我曾監視他們，為將他們拔除、破壞、推翻、毀滅、損害；同樣，日後我必要監視他們、為將他們建設、栽培──上主的斷語──
29 In the days those not people will say again fathers they have eaten sour grape[s] and [the] teeth of children they will be blunt.
在那時裏，人必不再說：「祖先吃了酸葡萄，子孫的牙齒也要酸軟」。
30 That except everyone for own iniquity his he will die every person who eats the sour grape[s] they will be blunt teeth his.
不，各人只因自己的的罪惡而死；只有吃酸葡萄的人，自己的牙齒才酸軟。
31 Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will make with [the] house of Israel and with [the] house of Judah a covenant new.
看，時日將到──上主的斷語──我必要與叵家和猶大家訂立新約，
32 Not like the covenant which I made with ancestors their on [the] day took hold I on hand their to bring out them from [the] land of Egypt who they they broke covenant my and I I was a husband over them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
不像我昔日──握住他們的手，引他們出離埃及時──與他們的祖先訂立盟約；雖然我是他們的夫君，他們已自行破壞了我這盟約──上主的斷語──
33 That this [is] the covenant which I will make with [the] house of Israel after the days those [the] utterance of Yahweh I will put law my in inner being their and on heart their I will write it and I will become for them God and they they will become for me a people.
我願在那些時日，與叵家訂立的盟約──上主的斷語──就是：我要將我的法律放在他們的肺腑裏，寫在他們的心頭上；我要作他們的天主，他們要作我的人民。
34 And not they will teach again each neighbor his and each brother his saying know Yahweh for all of them they will know me from little their and unto great their [the] utterance of Yahweh that I will forgive iniquity their and sin their not I will remember again.
那時，誰也不教訓自己的近人或弟兄說：「你們該認識上主」，因為不論大小，人人都必認識我──上主的斷語──因為我要寬恕他們的過犯，不再記憶他們的罪惡。
35 Thus - he says Yahweh [who] gives [the] sun for light by day [the] fixed order of [the] moon and [the] stars for light night [who] stirs up the sea and they roared waves its [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
那指定太陽照耀白日規定月亮星辰照耀黑夜，撥動海洋使波濤怒號，號稱「萬軍的上主」
36 If they will depart the fixed order these from to before me [the] utterance of Yahweh also [the] offspring of Israel they will cease from being a nation before me all the days.
假若這些規定已由我面前消失──上主的斷語──以色列種族在我面前也就永不再是一個民族。
37 Thus - he says Yahweh if they will be measured [the] heavens from to above so they may be explored [the] foundations of [the] earth downwards also I I will reject all [the] offspring of Israel on all that they have done [the] utterance of Yahweh.
上主這樣說：假若能測量在上的諸天，能探察在下大地的基礎，我也就因他們所做的一切，拋棄整個以色列種族──上主的斷語」。
38 Here! (days [are] coming *Q(K)*) [the] utterance of Yahweh and it will be rebuilt the city for Yahweh from [the] tower of Hananel [the] gate of the corner.
看，時日將到──上主的斷語──上主的城市必要重建，不佰自哈納乃布堡直到角門，
39 And it will go out again ([the] line of *Q(K)*) measurement before itself to [the] hill of Gareb and it will turn Goah towards.
而且測量的繩墨還要向外伸展，直到加勒布丘，再轉向哥阿；
40 And all the valley of the corpses - and the fatty ash and all (the terraced fields *Q(K)*) to [the] wadi of Kidron to [the] corner of [the] gate of the horses east-ward [will be] holy to Yahweh not it will be plucked up and not it will be torn down again for ever.
滿了屍首和灰燼的整個山谷，以及直到克德隆溪流和東邊馬門角旁所有木田地，都將祝聖給上主，永不再遭受」。
