耶利米書

第31章

1 耶和華說:「正當那時[At the same time],我必作以色列各家的神,他們必作我的子民。」

2 耶和華如此說:脫離刀劍的就是以色列[Israel];我使他享安息的時候,他曾在曠野蒙恩。

3 古時[old]耶和華向[me]顯現,說:我以永遠的愛愛你,因此我以慈愛吸引你。

4 處女以色列[virgin of Israel]啊,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 你必仍[Thou shalt yet]在撒瑪利亞的山上栽種葡萄[vines]栽種的人必得栽種[the planters shall plant]也必吃其中的果子以為平常[and shall eat them as common things]

6 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─我們的神那裏去。

7 耶和華如此說:當為雅各歡樂歌唱,在列國的首領中間[among the chief of the nations]歡呼;你們[ye]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 看哪[Behold],我必將他們從北方領來,從地的四境[coasts of the earth]招聚;同著他們來的有瞎子、瘸子、孕婦、懷胎陣痛的婦人[her that travaileth with child];他們必成為大幫回到這裏來。

9 他們要哭泣而來,我要照他們懇求的引導他們;我要[I will]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 列國啊,你們[ye]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 因耶和華救贖了雅各,救贖他脫離比他更強之人的手。

12 故此[Therefore],他們要來到錫安的高處歌唱,又流歸耶和華施恩之地,就是有麥子[wheat]、新酒,和油,並初生羊群與牛群[young of the flock and of the herd]之地;他們的心必像澆灌的園子;他們也不再有一點愁煩。

13 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 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 耶和華如此說:在拉瑪聽見[A]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 耶和華如此說:你禁止聲音不要哀哭,禁止眼目不要流淚,因你所作之工必有賞賜;他們必從仇敵之地[land of the enemy]歸回。這是耶和華說的。

17 耶和華說:你終久[in thine end]必有盼望[hope],你的兒女必回到自己的境界。

18 實在[surely]聽見以法蓮為自己這樣[thus]悲歎說:你曾責罰[hast chastised]我,我便受責罰,像不慣負軛的公牛犢[bullock]一樣。求你使我回轉,我便回轉;因為你是耶和華─我的神。

19 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蒙羞[ashamed]抱愧[confounded]

20 耶和華說:以法蓮是我的愛子嗎?是可喜悅的孩子嗎?我自從[since]責備他,仍深顧念他;所以我的心腸戀慕他;我必要憐憫他。

21 處女以色列[virgin of Israel]啊,你當為自己設立指路碑,築起高堆[make thee high heaps];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 背道的女子[daughter]啊,你反來覆去要到幾時呢?耶和華在地上創造[created]了一件新事,就是女子護衛男子。

23 大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說:「我使被擄之人歸回的時候,他們在猶大地和其中的城邑必[yet]這樣說:公義的居所,[and]聖山哪,願耶和華賜福給你。

24 猶大自己[itself]和屬猶大城邑的人,農夫和放羊的人,要一同住在其中。

25 疲乏的人,我使他飽足[satiated];愁煩的人,我使他知足。」

26 先知說:「我醒來[awaked]觀看[beheld][my]覺著睡得香甜。」

27 耶和華說:「看哪[Behold],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 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 當那些日子,人不再說:父親吃了酸葡萄,兒女[children]的牙酸倒了。

30 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 耶和華說:「看哪[Behold],日子將到,我要與以色列家和猶大家另立新約;

32 不像我拉著他們祖宗的手,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 我與以色列家所要立的約,乃是這樣:耶和華說:「那些日子以後[But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD],我要將我的律法放在他們裏面,寫在他們心[in];我要作他們的神,他們要作我的子民。

34 他們各人不再教導自己的鄰居和自己的兄弟[brother]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;我要饒恕[forgive]他們的罪孽,不再記念他們的罪惡。這是耶和華說的。」

35 那使太陽白日發光,使星月有定例,黑夜發亮,使波浪匉訇的洋海分開的[which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar],大軍之耶和華是他的名。這是耶和華說的[Thus saith the LORD]

36 那些[those]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 耶和華如此說:若是在上的天能以量度,下地的根基能以尋察[If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath],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 耶和華說:「看哪[Behold],日子將到,這城必為耶和華建造,從哈楠業樓直到角門。

39 準繩要往外量出,迎向迦立山上[over against it upon the hill Gareb],又圍繞到[compass about to]歌亞。

40 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。」

Jeremiah

Chapter 31

1 At the same1931 time,6256 said5002 the LORD,3068 will I be the God430 of all3605 the families4940 of Israel,3478 and they shall be my people.5971

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 The people5971 which were left8300 of the sword2719 found4672 grace2580 in the wilderness;4057 even Israel,3478 when I went1980 to cause him to rest.7280

3 The LORD3068 has appeared7200 of old7350 to me, saying, Yes, I have loved157 you with an everlasting5769 love:160 therefore5921 3651 with loving kindness2617 have I drawn4900 you.

4 Again5750 I will build1129 you, and you shall be built,1129 O virgin1330 of Israel:3478 you shall again5750 be adorned5710 with your tabrets,8596 and shall go3318 forth3318 in the dances of them that make merry.7832

5 You shall yet5750 plant5193 vines3754 on the mountains2022 of Samaria:8111 the planters5193 shall plant,5193 and shall eat them as common2490 things.

6 For there shall be a day,3117 that the watchmen5341 on the mount2022 Ephraim669 shall cry,7121 Arise you, and let us go5927 up to Zion6726 to the LORD3068 our God.430

7 For thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Sing7442 with gladness8057 for Jacob,3290 and shout6670 among the chief7218 of the nations:1471 publish8085 you, praise1984 you, and say,559 O LORD,3068 save3467 your people,5971 the remnant7611 of Israel.3478

8 Behold,2005 I will bring935 them from the north6828 country,776 and gather6908 them from the coasts3411 of the earth,776 and with them the blind5787 and the lame,6455 the woman with child2030 and her that travails3205 with child3205 together:3162 a great1419 company6951 shall return7725 thither.2008

9 They shall come935 with weeping,1065 and with supplications8469 will I lead2986 them: I will cause them to walk1980 by the rivers5158 of waters4325 in a straight3474 way,1870 wherein they shall not stumble:3782 for I am a father1 to Israel,3478 and Ephraim669 is my firstborn.1060

10 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O you nations,1471 and declare5046 it in the isles339 afar4801 off, and say,559 He that scattered2219 Israel3478 will gather6908 him, and keep8104 him, as a shepherd7462 does his flock.5739

11 For the LORD3068 has redeemed6299 Jacob,3290 and ransomed1350 him from the hand3027 of him that was stronger2388 than he.

12 Therefore they shall come935 and sing7442 in the height4791 of Zion,6726 and shall flow5102 together3162 to the goodness2898 of the LORD,3068 for wheat,1715 and for wine,8492 and for oil,3323 and for the young1121 of the flock6629 and of the herd:1241 and their soul5315 shall be as a watered7302 garden;1588 and they shall not sorrow1669 any more3254 at all.

13 Then shall the virgin1330 rejoice8057 in the dance,4234 both young970 men and old2205 together:3162 for I will turn2015 their mourning60 into joy,8342 and will comfort5162 them, and make them rejoice8057 from their sorrow.3015

14 And I will satiate7301 the soul5315 of the priests3548 with fatness,1880 and my people5971 shall be satisfied7646 with my goodness,2898 said5002 the LORD.3068

15 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 A voice6963 was heard8085 in Ramah,7414 lamentation,5092 and bitter8563 weeping;1065 Rahel7354 weeping1058 for her children1121 refused3985 to be comforted5162 for her children,1121 because3588 they were not.

16 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Refrain4513 your voice6963 from weeping,1065 and your eyes5869 from tears:1832 for your work6468 shall be rewarded,7939 said5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall come7725 again7725 from the land776 of the enemy.341

17 And there is hope8615 in your end,319 said5002 the LORD,3068 that your children1121 shall come7725 again7725 to their own border.1366

18 I have surely heard8085 Ephraim669 bemoaning5110 himself thus; You have chastised3256 me, and I was chastised,3256 as a bullock5695 unaccustomed3808 3925 to the yoke: turn7725 you me, and I shall be turned;7725 for you are the LORD3068 my God.430

19 Surely3588 after310 that I was turned,7725 I repented;5162 and after310 that I was instructed,3045 I smote5606 on my thigh:3409 I was ashamed,954 yes,1571 even1571 confounded,3637 because3588 I did bear5375 the reproach2781 of my youth.5271

20 Is Ephraim669 my dear3357 son?1121 is he a pleasant8191 child?3206 for since1767 I spoke1696 against him, I do earnestly remember2142 him still:5750 therefore5921 3651 my bowels4578 are troubled1993 for him; I will surely have mercy7355 on him, said5002 the LORD.3068

21 Set5324 you up markers,6725 make7760 you high8564 heaps:8564 set7896 your heart3820 toward the highway,4546 even the way1870 which you went:1980 turn7725 again,7725 O virgin1330 of Israel,3478 turn7725 again7725 to these428 your cities.5892

22 How5704 long5704 will you go2559 about,2559 O you backsliding7728 daughter?1323 for the LORD3068 has created1254 a new2319 thing in the earth,776 A woman5347 shall compass5437 a man.1397

23 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 As yet5750 they shall use559 this1931 2088 speech1697 in the land776 of Judah3063 and in the cities5892 thereof, when I shall bring7725 again7725 their captivity;7622 The LORD3068 bless1288 you, O habitation5116 of justice,6664 and mountain2022 of holiness.6944

24 And there shall dwell3427 in Judah3063 itself, and in all3605 the cities5892 thereof together,3162 farmers,406 and they that go5265 forth5265 with flocks.5739

25 For I have satiated7301 the weary5889 soul,5315 and I have replenished4390 every3605 sorrowful1669 soul.5315

26 On this2063 I awaked,6974 and beheld;7200 and my sleep8142 was sweet6149 to me.

27 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 said5002 the LORD,3068 that I will sow2232 the house1004 of Israel3478 and the house1004 of Judah3063 with the seed2233 of man,120 and with the seed2233 of beast.929

28 And it shall come1961 to pass, that like as I have watched8245 over5921 them, to pluck5428 up, and to break5422 down,5422 and to throw2040 down,2040 and to destroy,6 and to afflict;7489 so3651 will I watch8245 over5921 them, to build,1129 and to plant,5193 said5002 the LORD.3068

29 In those1992 days3117 they shall say559 no3808 more,5750 The fathers1 have eaten398 a sour1155 grape,1155 and the children's1121 teeth8127 are set on edge.6949

30 But every one376 shall die4191 for his own iniquity:5771 every376 man120 that eats398 the sour1155 grape,1155 his teeth8127 shall be set on edge.6949

31 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 said5002 the LORD,3068 that I will make3772 a new2319 covenant1285 with the house1004 of Israel,3478 and with the house1004 of Judah:3063

32 Not according to the covenant1285 that I made3772 with their fathers1 in the day3117 that I took2388 them by the hand3027 to bring3318 them out of the land776 of Egypt;4714 which834 my covenant1285 they broke,6565 although I was an husband1167 to them, said5002 the LORD:3068

33 But this2063 shall be the covenant1285 that I will make3772 with the house1004 of Israel;3478 After310 those1992 days,3117 said5002 the LORD,3068 I will put5414 my law8451 in their inward7130 parts, and write3789 it in their hearts;3820 and will be their God,430 and they shall be my people.5971

34 And they shall teach3925 no3808 more5750 every man376 his neighbor,7453 and every man376 his brother,251 saying,559 Know the LORD:3068 for they shall all3605 know3045 me, from the least6996 of them to the greatest1419 of them, said5002 the LORD:3068 for I will forgive5545 their iniquity,5771 and I will remember2142 their sin2403 no3808 more.5750

35 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 which gives5414 the sun8121 for a light216 by day,3119 and the ordinances2708 of the moon3394 and of the stars3556 for a light216 by night,3915 which divides7280 the sea3220 when the waves1530 thereof roar;1993 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name:8034

36 If518 those428 ordinances2706 depart4185 from before6440 me, said5002 the LORD,3068 then the seed2233 of Israel3478 also1571 shall cease7673 from being1961 a nation1471 before6440 me for ever.3605 3117

37 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 If518 heaven8064 above4605 can be measured,4058 and the foundations4146 of the earth776 searched2713 out beneath,4295 I will also1571 cast3988 off all3605 the seed2233 of Israel3478 for all3605 that they have done,6213 said5002 the LORD.3068

38 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 said5002 the LORD,3068 that the city5892 shall be built1129 to the LORD3068 from the tower4026 of Hananeel2606 to the gate8179 of the corner.6438

39 And the measuring4060 line6957 shall yet5750 go3318 forth3318 over5048 against5048 it on the hill1389 Gareb,1619 and shall compass5437 about to Goath.1601

40 And the whole3605 valley6010 of the dead6297 bodies,6297 and of the ashes,1880 and all3605 the fields8309 to the brook5158 of Kidron,6939 to the corner6438 of the horse5483 gate8179 toward the east,4217 shall be holy6944 to the LORD;3068 it shall not be plucked5428 up, nor3808 thrown2040 down2040 any more5750 for ever.5769

Chapter 31

1 耶和華說:「正當那時[At the same time],我必作以色列各家的神,他們必作我的子民。」

1 At the same1931 time,6256 said5002 the LORD,3068 will I be the God430 of all3605 the families4940 of Israel,3478 and they shall be my people.5971

2 耶和華如此說:脫離刀劍的就是以色列[Israel];我使他享安息的時候,他曾在曠野蒙恩。

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 The people5971 which were left8300 of the sword2719 found4672 grace2580 in the wilderness;4057 even Israel,3478 when I went1980 to cause him to rest.7280

3 古時[old]耶和華向[me]顯現,說:我以永遠的愛愛你,因此我以慈愛吸引你。

3 The LORD3068 has appeared7200 of old7350 to me, saying, Yes, I have loved157 you with an everlasting5769 love:160 therefore5921 3651 with loving kindness2617 have I drawn4900 you.

4 處女以色列[virgin of Israel]啊,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。

4 Again5750 I will build1129 you, and you shall be built,1129 O virgin1330 of Israel:3478 you shall again5750 be adorned5710 with your tabrets,8596 and shall go3318 forth3318 in the dances of them that make merry.7832

5 你必仍[Thou shalt yet]在撒瑪利亞的山上栽種葡萄[vines]栽種的人必得栽種[the planters shall plant]也必吃其中的果子以為平常[and shall eat them as common things]

5 You shall yet5750 plant5193 vines3754 on the mountains2022 of Samaria:8111 the planters5193 shall plant,5193 and shall eat them as common2490 things.

6 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─我們的神那裏去。

6 For there shall be a day,3117 that the watchmen5341 on the mount2022 Ephraim669 shall cry,7121 Arise you, and let us go5927 up to Zion6726 to the LORD3068 our God.430

7 耶和華如此說:當為雅各歡樂歌唱,在列國的首領中間[among the chief of the nations]歡呼;你們[ye]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。

7 For thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Sing7442 with gladness8057 for Jacob,3290 and shout6670 among the chief7218 of the nations:1471 publish8085 you, praise1984 you, and say,559 O LORD,3068 save3467 your people,5971 the remnant7611 of Israel.3478

8 看哪[Behold],我必將他們從北方領來,從地的四境[coasts of the earth]招聚;同著他們來的有瞎子、瘸子、孕婦、懷胎陣痛的婦人[her that travaileth with child];他們必成為大幫回到這裏來。

8 Behold,2005 I will bring935 them from the north6828 country,776 and gather6908 them from the coasts3411 of the earth,776 and with them the blind5787 and the lame,6455 the woman with child2030 and her that travails3205 with child3205 together:3162 a great1419 company6951 shall return7725 thither.2008

9 他們要哭泣而來,我要照他們懇求的引導他們;我要[I will]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。

9 They shall come935 with weeping,1065 and with supplications8469 will I lead2986 them: I will cause them to walk1980 by the rivers5158 of waters4325 in a straight3474 way,1870 wherein they shall not stumble:3782 for I am a father1 to Israel,3478 and Ephraim669 is my firstborn.1060

10 列國啊,你們[ye]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。

10 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O you nations,1471 and declare5046 it in the isles339 afar4801 off, and say,559 He that scattered2219 Israel3478 will gather6908 him, and keep8104 him, as a shepherd7462 does his flock.5739

11 因耶和華救贖了雅各,救贖他脫離比他更強之人的手。

11 For the LORD3068 has redeemed6299 Jacob,3290 and ransomed1350 him from the hand3027 of him that was stronger2388 than he.

12 故此[Therefore],他們要來到錫安的高處歌唱,又流歸耶和華施恩之地,就是有麥子[wheat]、新酒,和油,並初生羊群與牛群[young of the flock and of the herd]之地;他們的心必像澆灌的園子;他們也不再有一點愁煩。

12 Therefore they shall come935 and sing7442 in the height4791 of Zion,6726 and shall flow5102 together3162 to the goodness2898 of the LORD,3068 for wheat,1715 and for wine,8492 and for oil,3323 and for the young1121 of the flock6629 and of the herd:1241 and their soul5315 shall be as a watered7302 garden;1588 and they shall not sorrow1669 any more3254 at all.

13 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。

13 Then shall the virgin1330 rejoice8057 in the dance,4234 both young970 men and old2205 together:3162 for I will turn2015 their mourning60 into joy,8342 and will comfort5162 them, and make them rejoice8057 from their sorrow.3015

14 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。

14 And I will satiate7301 the soul5315 of the priests3548 with fatness,1880 and my people5971 shall be satisfied7646 with my goodness,2898 said5002 the LORD.3068

15 耶和華如此說:在拉瑪聽見[A]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。

15 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 A voice6963 was heard8085 in Ramah,7414 lamentation,5092 and bitter8563 weeping;1065 Rahel7354 weeping1058 for her children1121 refused3985 to be comforted5162 for her children,1121 because3588 they were not.

16 耶和華如此說:你禁止聲音不要哀哭,禁止眼目不要流淚,因你所作之工必有賞賜;他們必從仇敵之地[land of the enemy]歸回。這是耶和華說的。

16 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Refrain4513 your voice6963 from weeping,1065 and your eyes5869 from tears:1832 for your work6468 shall be rewarded,7939 said5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall come7725 again7725 from the land776 of the enemy.341

17 耶和華說:你終久[in thine end]必有盼望[hope],你的兒女必回到自己的境界。

17 And there is hope8615 in your end,319 said5002 the LORD,3068 that your children1121 shall come7725 again7725 to their own border.1366

18 實在[surely]聽見以法蓮為自己這樣[thus]悲歎說:你曾責罰[hast chastised]我,我便受責罰,像不慣負軛的公牛犢[bullock]一樣。求你使我回轉,我便回轉;因為你是耶和華─我的神。

18 I have surely heard8085 Ephraim669 bemoaning5110 himself thus; You have chastised3256 me, and I was chastised,3256 as a bullock5695 unaccustomed3808 3925 to the yoke: turn7725 you me, and I shall be turned;7725 for you are the LORD3068 my God.430

19 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蒙羞[ashamed]抱愧[confounded]

19 Surely3588 after310 that I was turned,7725 I repented;5162 and after310 that I was instructed,3045 I smote5606 on my thigh:3409 I was ashamed,954 yes,1571 even1571 confounded,3637 because3588 I did bear5375 the reproach2781 of my youth.5271

20 耶和華說:以法蓮是我的愛子嗎?是可喜悅的孩子嗎?我自從[since]責備他,仍深顧念他;所以我的心腸戀慕他;我必要憐憫他。

20 Is Ephraim669 my dear3357 son?1121 is he a pleasant8191 child?3206 for since1767 I spoke1696 against him, I do earnestly remember2142 him still:5750 therefore5921 3651 my bowels4578 are troubled1993 for him; I will surely have mercy7355 on him, said5002 the LORD.3068

21 處女以色列[virgin of Israel]啊,你當為自己設立指路碑,築起高堆[make thee high heaps];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。

21 Set5324 you up markers,6725 make7760 you high8564 heaps:8564 set7896 your heart3820 toward the highway,4546 even the way1870 which you went:1980 turn7725 again,7725 O virgin1330 of Israel,3478 turn7725 again7725 to these428 your cities.5892

22 背道的女子[daughter]啊,你反來覆去要到幾時呢?耶和華在地上創造[created]了一件新事,就是女子護衛男子。

22 How5704 long5704 will you go2559 about,2559 O you backsliding7728 daughter?1323 for the LORD3068 has created1254 a new2319 thing in the earth,776 A woman5347 shall compass5437 a man.1397

23 大軍之耶和華─以色列的神如此說:「我使被擄之人歸回的時候,他們在猶大地和其中的城邑必[yet]這樣說:公義的居所,[and]聖山哪,願耶和華賜福給你。

23 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 As yet5750 they shall use559 this1931 2088 speech1697 in the land776 of Judah3063 and in the cities5892 thereof, when I shall bring7725 again7725 their captivity;7622 The LORD3068 bless1288 you, O habitation5116 of justice,6664 and mountain2022 of holiness.6944

24 猶大自己[itself]和屬猶大城邑的人,農夫和放羊的人,要一同住在其中。

24 And there shall dwell3427 in Judah3063 itself, and in all3605 the cities5892 thereof together,3162 farmers,406 and they that go5265 forth5265 with flocks.5739

25 疲乏的人,我使他飽足[satiated];愁煩的人,我使他知足。」

25 For I have satiated7301 the weary5889 soul,5315 and I have replenished4390 every3605 sorrowful1669 soul.5315

26 先知說:「我醒來[awaked]觀看[beheld][my]覺著睡得香甜。」

26 On this2063 I awaked,6974 and beheld;7200 and my sleep8142 was sweet6149 to me.

27 耶和華說:「看哪[Behold],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。

27 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 said5002 the LORD,3068 that I will sow2232 the house1004 of Israel3478 and the house1004 of Judah3063 with the seed2233 of man,120 and with the seed2233 of beast.929

28 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。

28 And it shall come1961 to pass, that like as I have watched8245 over5921 them, to pluck5428 up, and to break5422 down,5422 and to throw2040 down,2040 and to destroy,6 and to afflict;7489 so3651 will I watch8245 over5921 them, to build,1129 and to plant,5193 said5002 the LORD.3068

29 當那些日子,人不再說:父親吃了酸葡萄,兒女[children]的牙酸倒了。

29 In those1992 days3117 they shall say559 no3808 more,5750 The fathers1 have eaten398 a sour1155 grape,1155 and the children's1121 teeth8127 are set on edge.6949

30 但各人必因自己的罪死亡;凡吃酸葡萄的,自己的牙必酸倒。」

30 But every one376 shall die4191 for his own iniquity:5771 every376 man120 that eats398 the sour1155 grape,1155 his teeth8127 shall be set on edge.6949

31 耶和華說:「看哪[Behold],日子將到,我要與以色列家和猶大家另立新約;

31 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 said5002 the LORD,3068 that I will make3772 a new2319 covenant1285 with the house1004 of Israel,3478 and with the house1004 of Judah:3063

32 不像我拉著他們祖宗的手,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;」

32 Not according to the covenant1285 that I made3772 with their fathers1 in the day3117 that I took2388 them by the hand3027 to bring3318 them out of the land776 of Egypt;4714 which834 my covenant1285 they broke,6565 although I was an husband1167 to them, said5002 the LORD:3068

33 我與以色列家所要立的約,乃是這樣:耶和華說:「那些日子以後[But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD],我要將我的律法放在他們裏面,寫在他們心[in];我要作他們的神,他們要作我的子民。

33 But this2063 shall be the covenant1285 that I will make3772 with the house1004 of Israel;3478 After310 those1992 days,3117 said5002 the LORD,3068 I will put5414 my law8451 in their inward7130 parts, and write3789 it in their hearts;3820 and will be their God,430 and they shall be my people.5971

34 他們各人不再教導自己的鄰居和自己的兄弟[brother]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;我要饒恕[forgive]他們的罪孽,不再記念他們的罪惡。這是耶和華說的。」

34 And they shall teach3925 no3808 more5750 every man376 his neighbor,7453 and every man376 his brother,251 saying,559 Know the LORD:3068 for they shall all3605 know3045 me, from the least6996 of them to the greatest1419 of them, said5002 the LORD:3068 for I will forgive5545 their iniquity,5771 and I will remember2142 their sin2403 no3808 more.5750

35 那使太陽白日發光,使星月有定例,黑夜發亮,使波浪匉訇的洋海分開的[which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar],大軍之耶和華是他的名。這是耶和華說的[Thus saith the LORD]

35 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 which gives5414 the sun8121 for a light216 by day,3119 and the ordinances2708 of the moon3394 and of the stars3556 for a light216 by night,3915 which divides7280 the sea3220 when the waves1530 thereof roar;1993 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name:8034

36 那些[those]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。

36 If518 those428 ordinances2706 depart4185 from before6440 me, said5002 the LORD,3068 then the seed2233 of Israel3478 also1571 shall cease7673 from being1961 a nation1471 before6440 me for ever.3605 3117

37 耶和華如此說:若是在上的天能以量度,下地的根基能以尋察[If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath],我就因以色列後裔一切所行的棄絕他們。這是耶和華說的。

37 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 If518 heaven8064 above4605 can be measured,4058 and the foundations4146 of the earth776 searched2713 out beneath,4295 I will also1571 cast3988 off all3605 the seed2233 of Israel3478 for all3605 that they have done,6213 said5002 the LORD.3068

38 耶和華說:「看哪[Behold],日子將到,這城必為耶和華建造,從哈楠業樓直到角門。

38 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 said5002 the LORD,3068 that the city5892 shall be built1129 to the LORD3068 from the tower4026 of Hananeel2606 to the gate8179 of the corner.6438

39 準繩要往外量出,迎向迦立山上[over against it upon the hill Gareb],又圍繞到[compass about to]歌亞。

39 And the measuring4060 line6957 shall yet5750 go3318 forth3318 over5048 against5048 it on the hill1389 Gareb,1619 and shall compass5437 about to Goath.1601

40 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。」

40 And the whole3605 valley6010 of the dead6297 bodies,6297 and of the ashes,1880 and all3605 the fields8309 to the brook5158 of Kidron,6939 to the corner6438 of the horse5483 gate8179 toward the east,4217 shall be holy6944 to the LORD;3068 it shall not be plucked5428 up, nor3808 thrown2040 down2040 any more5750 for ever.5769
