耶利米书 第 30 章
2「耶和华—以色列的神如此说：你将我对你说过的一切话都写在书上。
2Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
3耶和华说：日子将到，我要使我的百姓以色列和犹大被掳的人归回；我也要使他们回到我所赐给他们列祖之地，他们就得这地为业。这是耶和华说的。」
3For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话：
4And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5耶和华如此说：我们听见声音， 是战抖惧怕而不平安的声音。
5For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6你们且访问看看， 男人有产难吗？ 我怎么看见人人用手掐腰， 像产难的妇人， 脸面都变青了呢？
6Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7哀哉！那日为大， 无日可比； 这是雅各遭难的时候， 但他必被救出来。
7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8万军之耶和华说：「到那日，我必从你颈项上折断仇敌的轭，扭开他的绳索；外邦人不得再使你作他们的奴仆。
8For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9你们却要事奉耶和华—你们的神和我为你们所要兴起的王大卫。」
9But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10故此，耶和华说： 我的仆人雅各啊，不要惧怕； 以色列啊，不要惊惶； 因我要从远方拯救你， 从被掳到之地拯救你的后裔； 雅各必回来得享平靖安逸， 无人使他害怕。
10Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11因我与你同在，要拯救你， 也要将所赶散你到的那些国灭绝净尽， 却不将你灭绝净尽，倒要从宽惩治你， 万不能不罚你。 这是耶和华说的。
11For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
12耶和华如此说： 你的损伤无法医治； 你的伤痕极其重大。
12For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
13无人为你分诉， 使你的伤痕得以缠裹； 你没有医治的良药。
13There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
14你所亲爱的都忘记你， 不来探问你。 我因你的罪孽甚大，罪恶众多， 曾用仇敌加的伤害伤害你， 用残忍者的惩治惩治你。
14All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
15你为何因损伤哀号呢？ 你的痛苦无法医治。 我因你的罪孽甚大，罪恶众多， 曾将这些加在你身上。
15Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16故此，凡吞吃你的必被吞吃； 你的敌人个个都被掳去； 掳掠你的必成为掳物； 抢夺你的必成为掠物。
16Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17耶和华说：我必使你痊愈， 医好你的伤痕， 都因人称你为被赶散的， 说：这是锡安，无人来探问的！
17For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
18耶和华如此说： 我必使雅各被掳去的帐棚归回， 也必顾惜他的住处。 城必建造在原旧的山冈； 宫殿也照旧有人居住。
18Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19必有感谢和欢乐的声音从其中发出， 我要使他们增多，不致减少； 使他们尊荣，不致卑微。
19And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20他们的儿女要如往日； 他们的会众坚立在我面前； 凡欺压他们的，我必刑罚他。
20Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
21他们的君王必是属乎他们的； 掌权的必从他们中间而出。 我要使他就近我， 他也要亲近我； 不然，谁有胆量亲近我呢？ 这是耶和华说的。
21And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
