< Jeremiah 30 >

1 This is the word, that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye,
耶和華的話臨到耶利米說:
2 and seide, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, and spekith, Write to thee in a book, alle these wordis whiche Y spak to thee.
「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 lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal turne the turnyng of my puple Israel and Juda, seith the Lord; and Y schal turne hem to the lond which Y yaf to the fadris of hem, and thei schulen haue it in possessioun.
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 And these ben the wordis, whiche the Lord spak to Israel, and to Juda,
以下是耶和華論到以色列和猶大所說的話:
5 For the Lord seith these thingis, We herden a word of drede; inward drede is, and pees is not.
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 Axe ye, and se, if a male berith child; whi therfor siy Y the hond of ech man on his leende, as of a womman trauelynge of child, and alle faces ben turned in to yelow colour?
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 Wo! for thilke day is greet, nether ony is lyk it; and it is a tyme of tribulacioun to Jacob, and of hym schal be sauyd.
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 And it schal be, in that dai, seith the Lord of oostis, Y schal al to-breke the yok of hym fro thi necke, and Y schal breke hise boondis; and aliens schulen no more be lordis of it,
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 thei schulen serue to her Lord God, and to Dauid, her kyng, whom Y schal reyse for hem.
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 Therfor, Jacob, my seruaunt, drede thou not, seith the Lord, and Israel, drede thou not; for lo! Y schal saue thee fro a fer lond, and thi seed fro the lond of the caitiftee of hem. And Jacob schal turne ayen, and schal reste, and schal flowe with alle goodis; and noon schal be whom he schal drede.
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 Y am with thee, seith the Lord, for to saue thee. For Y schal make endyng in alle folkis, in whiche Y scateride thee; sotheli Y schal not make thee in to endyng, but Y schal chastise thee in doom, that thou be not seyn to thee to be gilteles.
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 the Lord seith these thingis, Thi brekyng is vncurable, thi wounde is the worste.
耶和華如此說: 你的損傷無法醫治; 你的傷痕極其重大。
13 Noon is, that demeth thi doom to bynde togidere; the profit of heelyngis is not to thee.
無人為你分訴, 使你的傷痕得以纏裹; 你沒有醫治的良藥。
14 Alle thi louyeris han foryete thee, thei schulen not seke thee; for Y haue smyte thee with the wounde of an enemy, with cruel chastisyng; for the multitude of thi wickidnesse, thi synnes ben maad hard.
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 What criest thou on thi brekynge? thi sorewe is vncurable; for the multitude of thi wickidnesse, and for thin hard synnes, Y haue do these thingis to thee.
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 Therfor alle that eeten thee, schulen be deuourid, and alle thin enemyes schulen be led in to caitifte; and thei that distrien thee, schulen be distried, and Y schal yyue alle thi robberis in to raueyn.
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 Y schal heele perfitli thi wounde, and Y schal make thee hool of thi woundis, seith the Lord; for thou, Sion, thei clepeden thee cast out; this is it that hadde no sekere.
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 The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal turne the turnyng of the tabernaclis of Jacob, and Y schal haue merci on the housis of hym; and the citee schal be bildid in his hiynesse, and the temple schal be foundid bi his ordre.
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 And heriyng and the vois of pleiers schal go out of hem, and Y schal multiplie hem, and thei schulen not be decreessid; and Y schal glorifie hem, and thei schulen not be maad thynne.
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 And the sones therof schulen be as at the bigynnyng, and the cumpeny therof schal dwelle bifore me; and Y schal visite ayens alle that doon tribulacioun to it.
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 And the duyk therof schal be of it, and a prince schal be brouyt forth of the myddis therof; and Y schal applie hym, and he schal neiye to me; for who is this, that schal applie his herte, that he neiye to me? seith the Lord.
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 And ye schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to you.
你們要作我的子民, 我要作你們的上帝。
23 Lo! the whirlewynd of the Lord, a strong veniaunce goynge out, a tempest fallynge doun, schal reste in the heed of wickid men.
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 The Lord schal not turne awey the ire of indignacioun, til he do, and fille the thouyt of his herte; in the laste of daies ye schulen vndurstonde tho thingis.
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。
