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.
耶和華說：「那時，我必作以色列各家的上帝；他們必作我的子民。」
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.
耶和華如此說： 脫離刀劍的就是以色列人。 我使他享安息的時候， 他曾在曠野蒙恩。
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.
古時耶和華向以色列顯現，說： 我以永遠的愛愛你， 因此我以慈愛吸引你。
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.
以色列的民哪， 我要再建立你，你就被建立； 你必再以擊鼓為美， 與歡樂的人一同跳舞而出；
5 Again you will plant vineyards on [the] hills of Samaria they will plant planters and they will put [them] to use.
又必在撒馬利亞的山上栽種葡萄園， 栽種的人要享用所結的果子。
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.
日子必到，以法蓮山上守望的人必呼叫說： 起來吧！我們可以上錫安， 到耶和華－我們的上帝那裏去。
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.
耶和華如此說： 你們當為雅各歡樂歌唱， 因萬國中為首的歡呼。 當傳揚頌讚說： 耶和華啊， 求你拯救你的百姓以色列所剩下的人。
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.
我必將他們從北方領來， 從地極招聚； 同着他們來的有瞎子、瘸子、孕婦、產婦； 他們必成為大幫回到這裏來。
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.
他們要哭泣而來。 我要照他們懇求的引導他們， 使他們在河水旁走正直的路， 在其上不致絆跌； 因為我是以色列的父， 以法蓮是我的長子。
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.
列國啊，要聽耶和華的話， 傳揚在遠處的海島說： 趕散以色列的必招聚他， 又看守他，好像牧人看守羊群。
11 For he has ransomed Yahweh Jacob and he has redeemed it from [the] hand of [one too] strong for it.
因耶和華救贖了雅各， 救贖他脫離比他更強之人的手。
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.
他們要來到錫安的高處歌唱， 又流歸耶和華施恩之地， 就是有五穀、新酒，和油， 並羊羔、牛犢之地。 他們的心必像澆灌的園子； 他們也不再有一點愁煩。
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，處女必歡樂跳舞； 年少的、年老的，也必一同歡樂； 因為我要使他們的悲哀變為歡喜， 並要安慰他們，使他們的愁煩轉為快樂。
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.
我必以肥油使祭司的心滿足； 我的百姓也要因我的恩惠知足。 這是耶和華說的。
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.
耶和華如此說： 在拉瑪聽見號咷痛哭的聲音， 是拉結哭她兒女，不肯受安慰， 因為他們都不在了。
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.
耶和華如此說： 你禁止聲音不要哀哭， 禁止眼目不要流淚， 因你所做之工必有賞賜； 他們必從敵國歸回。 這是耶和華說的。
17 And there [is] hope for future your [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will return children to own territory their.
耶和華說：你末後必有指望； 你的兒女必回到自己的境界。
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.
我聽見以法蓮為自己悲歎說： 你責罰我，我便受責罰， 像不慣負軛的牛犢一樣。 求你使我回轉，我便回轉， 因為你是耶和華－我的上帝。
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.
我回轉以後就真正懊悔； 受教以後就拍腿歎息； 我因擔當幼年的凌辱就抱愧蒙羞。
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.
耶和華說：以法蓮是我的愛子嗎？ 是可喜悅的孩子嗎？ 我每逢責備他，仍深顧念他； 所以我的心腸戀慕他； 我必要憐憫他。
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.
以色列民哪， 你當為自己設立指路碑， 豎起引路柱。 你要留心向大路， 就是你所去的原路； 你當回轉，回轉到你這些城邑。
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.
背道的民哪， 你反來覆去要到幾時呢？ 耶和華在地上造了一件新事， 就是女子護衛男子。
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.
萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：「我使被擄之人歸回的時候，他們在猶大地和其中的城邑必再這樣說： 公義的居所啊， 聖山哪，願耶和華賜福給你。
24 And they will dwell in it Judah and all cities its together farmers and they will journey with flock.
猶大和屬猶大城邑的人，農夫和放羊的人，要一同住在其中。
25 For I give water to [the] throat of [the] weary and every person [who] it has become faint I fill.
疲乏的人，我使他飽飫；愁煩的人，我使他知足。」
26 On this I awoke and I looked and sleep my it was pleasing to me.
先知說：「我醒了，覺着睡得香甜！」
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].
耶和華說：「日子將到，我要把人的種和牲畜的種播種在以色列家和猶大家。
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.
我先前怎樣留意將他們拔出、拆毀、毀壞、傾覆、苦害，也必照樣留意將他們建立、栽植。這是耶和華說的。
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.
當那些日子，人不再說： 父親吃了酸葡萄， 兒子的牙酸倒了。
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.
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 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.
耶和華說：「日子將到，我要與以色列家和猶大家另立新約，
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.
不像我拉着他們祖宗的手，領他們出埃及地的時候，與他們所立的約。我雖作他們的丈夫，他們卻背了我的約。這是耶和華說的。」
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.
耶和華說：「那些日子以後，我與以色列家所立的約乃是這樣：我要將我的律法放在他們裏面，寫在他們心上。我要作他們的上帝，他們要作我的子民。
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.
他們各人不再教導自己的鄰舍和自己的弟兄說：『你該認識耶和華』，因為他們從最小的到至大的都必認識我。我要赦免他們的罪孽，不再記念他們的罪惡。這是耶和華說的。」
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.
那使太陽白日發光， 使星月有定例，黑夜發亮， 又攪動大海，使海中波浪匉訇的， 萬軍之耶和華是他的名。 他如此說：
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.
這些定例若能在我面前廢掉， 以色列的後裔也就在我面前斷絕， 永遠不再成國。 這是耶和華說的。
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.
耶和華如此說： 若能量度上天， 尋察下地的根基， 我就因以色列後裔一切所行的棄絕他們。 這是耶和華說的。
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.
耶和華說：「日子將到，這城必為耶和華建造，從哈楠業樓直到角門。
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.
準繩要往外量出，直到迦立山，又轉到歌亞。
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.
拋屍的全谷和倒灰之處，並一切田地，直到汲淪溪，又直到東方馬門的拐角，都要歸耶和華為聖，不再拔出，不再傾覆，直到永遠。」
