把话写在书上

¹耶和华的话临到耶利米说：This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

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。“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

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。”For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”

雅各遭难的时候

⁴以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话：These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and 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。Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard—a cry of terror, 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？Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?

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。How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will 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。On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.

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。”Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

不要惧怕，我必拯救你

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。As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to 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（不罚你：或译以你为无罪）。这是耶和华说的。For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”

无法医治的伤，神必医好

¹²耶和华如此说：你的损伤无法医治；你的伤痕极其重大。For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your 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。There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.

¹⁴你所亲爱的都忘记你，不来探问（或译：理会）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。All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.

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。Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.

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。Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them—will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.

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（或译：理会）的！But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”

城必重新建造

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。This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.

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。Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.

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。Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.

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。Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?” declares the LORD.

²²你们要作我的子民，我要作你们的　神。“And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”

耶和华的忿怒像暴风

²³看哪，耶和华的忿怒好像暴风已经发出；是扫灭的暴风，必转到恶人的头上。Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.

²⁴耶和华的烈怒必不转消，直到他心中所拟定的成就了；末后的日子你们要明白。The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.

³古时（或译：从远方）耶和华向以色列（原文是我）显现，说：我以永远的爱爱你，因此我以慈爱吸引你。The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.

从地极招聚归回

⁷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。For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’

⁸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。Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!

⁹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。They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”

¹⁰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。Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.

¹¹因耶和华救赎了雅各，救赎他脱离比他更强之人的手。For the LORD has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.

¹²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。They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD—the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.

¹³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。Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.

以法莲悔改，神必怜悯

¹⁸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。I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.

¹⁹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。After I returned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’

²⁰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。Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,” declares the LORD.

设立指路碑，回转吧

²³万军之耶和华—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。This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’

²⁸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。Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.

²⁹当那些日子，人不再说：父亲吃了酸葡萄，儿子的牙酸倒了。“In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’

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。”Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.

另立新约

³¹耶和华说：“日子将到，我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约，Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

³³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。“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

³⁴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。”No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
