Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：
2 “This is what Yahweh, God of Israel, says, 'Write in a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you.
「耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：你將我對你說過的一切話都寫在書上。
3 For look, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah. I, Yahweh, have said it. For I will bring them back to the land that I gave their ancestors, and they will possess it.'”
耶和華說：日子將到，我要使我的百姓以色列和猶大被擄的人歸回；我也要使他們回到我所賜給他們列祖之地，他們就得這地為業。這是耶和華說的。」
4 These are the words that Yahweh declared concerning Israel and Judah,
以下是耶和華論到以色列和猶大所說的話：
5 “For Yahweh says this, 'We have heard a trembling voice of dread and not of peace.
耶和華如此說：我們聽見聲音， 是戰抖懼怕而不平安的聲音。
6 Ask and see if a man bears a child. Why do I see every young man with his hand on his loins like a woman bearing a child? Why have all their faces become pale?
你們且訪問看看， 男人有產難嗎？ 我怎麼看見人人用手掐腰， 像產難的婦人， 臉面都變青了呢？
7 Woe! For that day will be great, with none like it. It will be a time of anxiety for Jacob, but he will be rescued from it.
哀哉！那日為大， 無日可比； 這是雅各遭難的時候， 但他必被救出來。
8 For it will be in that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—that I will break the yoke off your neck, and I will shatter your chains, so foreigners will no longer enslave you.
萬軍之耶和華說：「到那日，我必從你頸項上折斷仇敵的軛，扭開他的繩索；外邦人不得再使你作他們的奴僕。
9 But they will worship Yahweh their God and serve David their king, whom I will make king over them.
你們卻要事奉耶和華－你們的上帝和我為你們所要興起的王大衛。」
10 So you, my servant Jacob, do not fear—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not be dismayed, Israel. For see, I am about to bring you back from far away, and your descendants from the land of captivity. Jacob will return and be at peace; he will be secure, and there will be no more terror.
故此，耶和華說： 我的僕人雅各啊，不要懼怕； 以色列啊，不要驚惶； 因我要從遠方拯救你， 從被擄到之地拯救你的後裔； 雅各必回來得享平靖安逸， 無人使他害怕。
11 For I am with you—this is Yahweh's declaration—to save you. Then I will bring a complete end to all the nations where I have scattered you. But I will certainly not put an end to you, though I discipline you justly and will certainly not leave you unpunished.'
因我與你同在，要拯救你， 也要將所趕散你到的那些國滅絕淨盡， 卻不將你滅絕淨盡，倒要從寬懲治你， 萬不能不罰你。 這是耶和華說的。
12 For Yahweh says this, 'Your injury is incurable; your wound is infected.
耶和華如此說： 你的損傷無法醫治； 你的傷痕極其重大。
13 There is no one to plead your case; there is no remedy for your wound to heal you.
無人為你分訴， 使你的傷痕得以纏裹； 你沒有醫治的良藥。
14 All of your lovers have forgotten you. They will not look for you, for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy and the discipline of a cruel master because of your many iniquities and your innumerable sins.
你所親愛的都忘記你， 不來探問你。 我因你的罪孽甚大，罪惡眾多， 曾用仇敵加的傷害傷害你， 用殘忍者的懲治懲治你。
15 Why do you call for help for your injury? Your pain is incurable. Because of your many iniquities, your innumerable sins, I have done these things to you.
你為何因損傷哀號呢？ 你的痛苦無法醫治。 我因你的罪孽甚大，罪惡眾多， 曾將這些加在你身上。
16 So everyone who consumes you will be consumed, and all of your adversaries will go into captivity. For the ones who have plundered you will become plunder, and I will make all of the ones despoiling you a spoil.
故此，凡吞吃你的必被吞吃； 你的敵人個個都被擄去； 擄掠你的必成為擄物； 搶奪你的必成為掠物。
17 For I will bring healing on you; I will heal you of your wounds—this is Yahweh's declaration— I will do this because they called you: Outcast. No one cares for this Zion.'”
耶和華說：我必使你痊癒， 醫好你的傷痕， 都因人稱你為被趕散的， 說：這是錫安，無人來探問的！
18 Yahweh says this, “See, I am about to bring back the fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion on his homes. Then a city will be built on the heap of ruins, and a stronghold will exist again where it used to be.
耶和華如此說： 我必使雅各被擄去的帳棚歸回， 也必顧惜他的住處。 城必建造在原舊的山岡； 宮殿也照舊有人居住。
19 Then a song of praise and a sound of merriment will go out from them, for I will increase them and not diminish them; I will honor them so they will not be humbled.
必有感謝和歡樂的聲音從其中發出， 我要使他們增多，不致減少； 使他們尊榮，不致卑微。
20 Then their people will be like before, and their assembly will be established before me when I punish all the ones who are now tormenting them.
他們的兒女要如往日； 他們的會眾堅立在我面前； 凡欺壓他們的，我必刑罰他。
21 Their leader will come from among them. He will emerge from their midst when I draw him near and when he approaches me. If I do not do this, who would dare come close to me?—this is Yahweh's declaration.
他們的君王必是屬乎他們的； 掌權的必從他們中間而出。 我要使他就近我， 他也要親近我； 不然，誰有膽量親近我呢？ 這是耶和華說的。
22 Then you will be my people, and I will be your God.
你們要作我的子民， 我要作你們的上帝。
23 See, the tempest of Yahweh, his fury, has gone out. It is a continual tempest. It will whirl on the heads of the wicked people.
看哪，耶和華的忿怒 好像暴風已經發出； 是掃滅的暴風， 必轉到惡人的頭上。
24 Yahweh's wrath will not return until it has carried out and brought into being his heart's intentions. In the final days, you will understand it.”
耶和華的烈怒必不轉消， 直到他心中所擬定的成就了； 末後的日子你們要明白。
