< 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.
耶和華說:「那時,我必作以色列各家的上帝;他們必作我的子民。」
2 The Lord seith these thingis, The puple that was left of swerd, foond grace in desert; Israel schal go to his reste.
耶和華如此說: 脫離刀劍的就是以色列人。 我使他享安息的時候, 他曾在曠野蒙恩。
3 Fer the Lord apperide to me, and in euerlastynge charite Y louede thee; therfor Y doynge merci drow thee.
古時耶和華向以色列顯現,說: 我以永遠的愛愛你, 因此我以慈愛吸引你。
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; 你必再以擊鼓為美, 與歡樂的人一同跳舞而出;
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.
又必在撒馬利亞的山上栽種葡萄園, 栽種的人要享用所結的果子。
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-我們的上帝那裏去。
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.
耶和華如此說: 你們當為雅各歡樂歌唱, 因萬國中為首的歡呼。 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 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.
我必將他們從北方領來, 從地極招聚; 同着他們來的有瞎子、瘸子、孕婦、產婦; 他們必成為大幫回到這裏來。
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.
他們要哭泣而來。 我要照他們懇求的引導他們, 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 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.
列國啊,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 For the Lord ayenbouyte Jacob, and delyuerede hym fro the hond of the myytiere.
因耶和華救贖了雅各, 救贖他脫離比他更強之人的手。
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.
他們要來到錫安的高處歌唱, 又流歸耶和華施恩之地, 就是有五穀、新酒,和油, 並羊羔、牛犢之地。 他們的心必像澆灌的園子; 他們也不再有一點愁煩。
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 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滿足; 我的百姓也要因我的恩惠知足。 這是耶和華說的。
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.
耶和華如此說: 在拉瑪聽見號咷痛哭的聲音, 是拉結哭她兒女,不肯受安慰, 因為他們都不在了。
16 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.
耶和華如此說: 你禁止聲音不要哀哭, 禁止眼目不要流淚, 因你所做之工必有賞賜; 他們必從敵國歸回。 這是耶和華說的。
17 And hope is to thi laste thingis, seith the Lord, and thi sones schulen turne ayen to her endis.
耶和華說:你末後必有指望; 你的兒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.
我聽見以法蓮為自己悲歎說: 你責罰我,我便受責罰, 像不慣負軛的牛犢一樣。 求你使我回轉,我便回轉, 因為你是耶和華-我的上帝。
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.
耶和華說:以法蓮是我的愛子嗎? 是可喜悅的孩子嗎? 我每逢責備他,仍深顧念他; 所以我的心腸戀慕他; 我必要憐憫他。
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, 你當為自己設立指路碑, 豎起引路柱。 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 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, 你反來覆去要到幾時呢? 耶和華在地上造了一件新事, 就是女子護衛男子。
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.
萬軍之耶和華-以色列的上帝如此說:「我使被擄之人歸回的時候,他們在猶大地和其中的城邑必再這樣說: 公義的居所啊, 聖山哪,願耶和華賜福給你。
24 And Juda, and alle citees therof schulen dwelle in it togidere, erthetilieris, and thei that dryuen flockis.
猶大和屬猶大城邑的人,農夫和放羊的人,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,我使他飽飫;愁煩的人,我使他知足。」
26 Therfor Y am as reisid fro sleep, and Y siy; and my sleep was swete to me.
先知說:「我醒了,覺着睡得香甜!」
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.
耶和華說:「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 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 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,
當那些日子,人不再說: 父親吃了酸葡萄, 兒子的牙酸倒了。
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;
耶和華說:「日子將到,我要與以色列家和猶大家另立新約,
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 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.
耶和華說:「那些日子以後,我與以色列家所立的約乃是這樣:我要將我的律法放在他們裏面,寫在他們心上。我要作他們的上帝,他們要作我的子民。
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.
他們各人不再教導自己的鄰舍和自己的弟兄說:『你該認識耶和華』,因為他們從最小的到至大的都必認識我。我要赦免他們的罪孽,不再記念他們的罪惡。這是耶和華說的。」
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.
那使太陽白日發光, 使星月有定例,黑夜發亮, 又攪動大海,使海中波浪匉訇的, 萬軍之耶和華是他的名。 他如此說:
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.
這些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 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.
耶和華如此說: 若能量度上天, 尋察下地的根基, 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 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.
耶和華說:「日子將到,這城必為耶和華建造,從哈楠業樓直到角門。
39 And it schal go out ouer the reule of mesure, in the siyt therof, on the hil Gareb, and it schal cumpasse Goatha,
準繩要往外量出,直到迦立山,又轉到歌亞。
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.
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。」
