< Jeremiah 31 >
1 In that tyme, seith the Lord, Y schal be God to alle the kynredis of Israel; and thei schulen be in to a puple to me.
耶和华说:“那时,我必作以色列各家的 神;他们必作我的子民。”
2 The Lord seith these thingis, The puple that was left of swerd, foond grace in desert; Israel schal go to his reste.
耶和华如此说: 脱离刀剑的就是以色列人。 我使他享安息的时候, 他曾在旷野蒙恩。
3 Fer the Lord apperide to me, and in euerlastynge charite Y louede thee; therfor Y doynge merci drow thee.
古时耶和华向以色列显现,说: 我以永远的爱爱你, 因此我以慈爱吸引你。
4 And eft Y schal bilde thee, and thou, virgyn Israel, schalt be bildid; yit thou schalt be ourned with thi tympans, and schalt go out in the cumpenye of pleieris.
以色列的民哪, 我要再建立你,你就被建立; 你必再以击鼓为美, 与欢乐的人一同跳舞而出;
5 Yit thou schalt plaunte vynes in the hillis of Samarie; men plauntynge schulen plaunte, and til the tyme come, thei schulen not gadere grapis.
又必在撒马利亚的山上栽种葡萄园, 栽种的人要享用所结的果子。
6 For whi a dai schal be, wherynne keperis schulen crye in the hil of Samarie, and in the hil of Effraym, Rise ye, and stie we in to Sion, to oure Lord God.
日子必到,以法莲山上守望的人必呼叫说: 起来吧!我们可以上锡安, 到耶和华—我们的 神那里去。
7 For the Lord seith these thingis, Jacob, make ye ful out ioye in gladnesse, and neye ye ayens the heed of hethene men; sowne ye, synge ye, and seie ye, Lord, saue thi puple, the residues of Israel.
耶和华如此说: 你们当为雅各欢乐歌唱, 因万国中为首的欢呼。 当传扬颂赞说: 耶和华啊, 求你拯救你的百姓以色列所剩下的人。
8 Lo! Y schal brynge hem fro the loond of the north, and Y schal gadere hem fro the fertheste partis of erthe; among whiche schulen be a blynd man, and crokid, and a womman with childe, and trauelynge of child togidere, a greet cumpeny of hem that schulen turne ayen hidur.
我必将他们从北方领来, 从地极招聚; 同着他们来的有瞎子、瘸子、孕妇、产妇; 他们必成为大帮回到这里来。
9 Thei schulen come in wepyng, and Y schal brynge hem ayen in merci; and Y schal brynge hem bi the strondis of watris in a riytful weie, thei schulen not spurne therynne; for Y am maad a fadir to Israel, and Effraym is my gendrid sone.
他们要哭泣而来。 我要照他们恳求的引导他们, 使他们在河水旁走正直的路, 在其上不致绊跌; 因为我是以色列的父, 以法莲是我的长子。
10 Ye hethene men, here ye the word of the Lord, and telle ye in ylis that ben fer, and seie, He that scateride Israel, schal gadere it, and schal kepe it, as a scheepherde kepith his floc.
列国啊,要听耶和华的话, 传扬在远处的海岛说: 赶散以色列的必招聚他, 又看守他,好像牧人看守羊群。
11 For the Lord ayenbouyte Jacob, and delyuerede hym fro the hond of the myytiere.
因耶和华救赎了雅各, 救赎他脱离比他更强之人的手。
12 And thei schulen come, and herye in the hil of Sion; and thei schulen flowe togidere to the goodis of the Lord, on wheete, wyn, and oile, and on the fruyt of scheep, and of neet; and the soule of hem schal be as a watri gardyn, and thei schulen no more hungre.
他们要来到锡安的高处歌唱, 又流归耶和华施恩之地, 就是有五谷、新酒,和油, 并羊羔、牛犊之地。 他们的心必像浇灌的园子; 他们也不再有一点愁烦。
13 Thanne a virgyn schal be glad in a cumpenye, yonge men and elde togidere; and Y schal turne the morenyng of hem in to ioie, and Y schal coumforte hem, and Y schal make hem glad of her sorewe.
那时,处女必欢乐跳舞; 年少的、年老的,也必一同欢乐; 因为我要使他们的悲哀变为欢喜, 并要安慰他们,使他们的愁烦转为快乐。
14 And Y schal greetli fille the soule of prestis with fatnesse, and my puple schal be fillid with my goodis, seith the Lord.
我必以肥油使祭司的心满足; 我的百姓也要因我的恩惠知足。 这是耶和华说的。
15 The Lord seith these thingis, A vois of weilyng, and of wepyng, and of mourenyng, was herd an hiy; the vois of Rachel biwepynge hir sones, and not willynge to be coumfortid on hem, for thei ben not.
耶和华如此说: 在拉玛听见号咷痛哭的声音, 是拉结哭她儿女,不肯受安慰, 因为他们都不在了。
16 The Lord seith these thingis, Thi vois reste of wepyng, and thin iyen reste of teeres; for whi mede is to thi werk, seith the Lord; and thei schulen turne ayen fro the lond of the enemy.
耶和华如此说: 你禁止声音不要哀哭, 禁止眼目不要流泪, 因你所做之工必有赏赐; 他们必从敌国归回。 这是耶和华说的。
17 And hope is to thi laste thingis, seith the Lord, and thi sones schulen turne ayen to her endis.
耶和华说:你末后必有指望; 你的儿女必回到自己的境界。
18 I heringe herde Effraym passinge ouer; thou chastisidist me, and Y am lerned as a yong oon vntemyd; turne thou me, and Y schal be conuertid, for thou art my Lord God.
我听见以法莲为自己悲叹说: 你责罚我,我便受责罚, 像不惯负轭的牛犊一样。 求你使我回转,我便回转, 因为你是耶和华—我的 神。
19 For aftir that thou conuertidist me, Y dide penaunce; and aftir that thou schewidist to me, Y smoot myn hipe; Y am schent, and Y schamede, for Y suffride the schenschipe of my yongthe.
我回转以后就真正懊悔; 受教以后就拍腿叹息; 我因担当幼年的凌辱就抱愧蒙羞。
20 For Effraym is a worschipful sone to me, for he is a delicat child; for sithen Y spak of hym, yit Y schal haue mynde on hym; therfor myn entrails ben disturblid on him, Y doynge merci schal haue merci on hym, seith the Lord.
耶和华说:以法莲是我的爱子吗? 是可喜悦的孩子吗? 我每逢责备他,仍深顾念他; 所以我的心肠恋慕他; 我必要怜悯他。
21 Ordeyne to thee an hiy totyng place, sette to thee bitternesses; dresse thin herte in to a streiyt weie, in which thou yedist; turne ayen, thou virgyn of Israel, turne ayen to these thi citees.
以色列民哪, 你当为自己设立指路碑, 竖起引路柱。 你要留心向大路, 就是你所去的原路; 你当回转,回转到你这些城邑。
22 Hou longe, douyter of vnstidfast dwellyng, art thou maad dissolut in delices? for the Lord hath maad a newe thing on erthe, a womman schal cumpasse a man.
背道的民哪, 你反来复去要到几时呢? 耶和华在地上造了一件新事, 就是女子护卫男子。
23 The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Yit thei schulen seie this word in the lond of Juda, and in the citees therof, whane Y schal turne the caytifte of hem, The Lord blesse thee, thou fairnesse of riytfulnesse, thou hooli hil.
万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:“我使被掳之人归回的时候,他们在犹大地和其中的城邑必再这样说: 公义的居所啊, 圣山哪,愿耶和华赐福给你。
24 And Juda, and alle citees therof schulen dwelle in it togidere, erthetilieris, and thei that dryuen flockis.
犹大和属犹大城邑的人,农夫和放羊的人,要一同住在其中。
25 For Y fillide greetli a feynt soule, and Y haue fillid ech hungri soule.
疲乏的人,我使他饱饫;愁烦的人,我使他知足。”
26 Therfor Y am as reisid fro sleep, and Y siy; and my sleep was swete to me.
先知说:“我醒了,觉着睡得香甜!”
27 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sowe the hous of Israel and the hous of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of werk beestis.
耶和华说:“日子将到,我要把人的种和牲畜的种播种在以色列家和犹大家。
28 And as Y wakide on hem, to drawe vp bi the roote, and to distrie, and to scatere, and to leese, and to turmente; so Y schal wake on hem, to bilde, and to plaunte, seith the Lord.
我先前怎样留意将他们拔出、拆毁、毁坏、倾覆、苦害,也必照样留意将他们建立、栽植。这是耶和华说的。
29 In tho daies thei schulen no more seie, The fadres eeten a sour grape, and the teeth of sones weren astonyed; but ech man schal die in his wickidnesse,
当那些日子,人不再说: 父亲吃了酸葡萄, 儿子的牙酸倒了。
30 ech man that etith a sour grape, hise teeth schulen be astonyed.
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 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal smyte a newe boond of pees to the hous of Israel, and to the hous of Juda;
耶和华说:“日子将到,我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约,
32 not bi the couenaunte which Y made with youre fadris, in the dai in which Y took the hond of hem, to lede hem out of the lond of Egipt, the couenaunte which thei made voide; and Y was Lord of hem, seith the Lord.
不像我拉着他们祖宗的手,领他们出埃及地的时候,与他们所立的约。我虽作他们的丈夫,他们却背了我的约。这是耶和华说的。”
33 But this schal be the couenaunte, which Y schal smyte with the hous of Israel aftir tho daies, seith the Lord; Y schal yyue my lawe in the entrails of hem, and Y schal write it in the herte of hem, and Y schal be in to God to hem, and thei schulen be in to a puple to me.
耶和华说:“那些日子以后,我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样:我要将我的律法放在他们里面,写在他们心上。我要作他们的 神,他们要作我的子民。
34 And a man schal no more teche his neiybore, and a man his brother, and seie, Knowe thou the Lord; for alle schulen knowe me, fro the leeste of hem `til to the mooste, seith the Lord; for Y schal be merciful to the wickidnessis of hem, and Y schal no more be myndeful on the synne of hem.
他们各人不再教导自己的邻舍和自己的弟兄说:‘你该认识耶和华’,因为他们从最小的到至大的都必认识我。我要赦免他们的罪孽,不再记念他们的罪恶。这是耶和华说的。”
35 The Lord seith these thingis, that yyueth the sunne in the liyt of dai, the ordre of the moone and of sterris in the liyt of the niyt, whiche disturblith the see, and the wawis therof sownen, the Lord of oostis is name to hym.
那使太阳白日发光, 使星月有定例,黑夜发亮, 又搅动大海,使海中波浪匉訇的, 万军之耶和华是他的名。 他如此说:
36 If these lawis failen bifore me, seith the Lord, thanne and the seed of Israel schal faile, that it be not a folk bifore me in alle daies.
这些定例若能在我面前废掉, 以色列的后裔也就在我面前断绝, 永远不再成国。 这是耶和华说的。
37 The Lord seith these thingis, If heuenes aboue moun be mesurid, and the foundementis of erthe bynethe be souyt out, and Y schal caste awei al the seed of Israel, for alle thingis whiche thei diden, seith the Lord.
耶和华如此说: 若能量度上天, 寻察下地的根基, 我就因以色列后裔一切所行的弃绝他们。 这是耶和华说的。
38 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and a citee schal be bildid to the Lord, fro the tour of Ananeel `til to the yate of the corner.
耶和华说:“日子将到,这城必为耶和华建造,从哈楠业楼直到角门。
39 And it schal go out ouer the reule of mesure, in the siyt therof, on the hil Gareb, and it schal cumpasse Goatha,
准绳要往外量出,直到迦立山,又转到歌亚。
40 and al the valei of careyns, and it schal cumpasse aischis, and al the cuntrei of deth, `til to the stronde of Cedron, and til to the corner of the eest yate of horsis; the hooli thing of the Lord schal not be drawun out, and it schal no more be destried with outen ende.
抛尸的全谷和倒灰之处,并一切田地,直到汲沦溪,又直到东方马门的拐角,都要归耶和华为圣,不再拔出,不再倾覆,直到永远。”
