Jeremiah 33

1 While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time:

1 耶利米仍被囚禁在护卫院子里的时候，耶和华第二次对他说：

2 “Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it, the LORD is His name:

2 “耶和华创造大地，使其成形、根基稳固，祂名叫耶和华。祂说，

3 Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

3 ‘你呼求我，我就回应你，并且把你不知道的伟大奥妙之事告诉你。

4 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses of this city and the palaces of the kings of Judah that have been torn down for defense against the siege ramps and the sword:

4 关于耶路撒冷城中的房屋和犹大王宫被拆毁，用来抵御攻城台和刀剑一事，以色列的上帝耶和华说：

5 The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill those places with the corpses of the men I will strike down in My anger and in My wrath. I have hidden My face from this city because of all its wickedness.

5 他们与迦勒底人争战只会使这些房屋堆满死尸，因为我要在怒气和烈怒中杀死他们。他们作恶多端，我必掩面不理这城。

6 Nevertheless, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal its people and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

6 但有一天，我必医治这城的创伤，恢复我子民的健康，使他们繁荣安定。

7 I will restore Judah and Israel from captivity and will rebuild them as in former times.

7 我要使被掳的犹大人和以色列人返乡，使他们重建如初。

8 And I will cleanse them from all the iniquity they have committed against Me, and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against Me.

8 我要除去他们干犯我的一切罪恶，赦免他们悖逆我的一切罪过。

9 So this city will bring Me renown, joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I do for it. They will tremble in awe because of all the goodness and prosperity that I will provide for it.

9 这城要使我在天下万国面前得到尊崇、颂赞和荣耀，因为他们必听见我赐给这城的一切福乐。因为我使这城繁荣安定，他们都必恐惧战栗。’”

10 This is what the LORD says: In this place you say is a wasteland without man or beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted—inhabited by neither man nor beast—there will be heard again

10 耶和华说：“你们说犹大的城邑和耶路撒冷的街道一片荒凉、人畜绝迹，

11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those bringing thank offerings into the house of the LORD, saying: ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good; His loving devotion endures forever.’ For I will restore the land from captivity as in former times, says the LORD.

11 但这些地方必传出欢乐声、新郎新娘的欢笑声和在耶和华殿中献感恩祭者的歌唱声， “‘要感谢万军之耶和华， 因为耶和华是美善的， 祂的慈爱永远长存。’ 因为我必使被掳的人返乡，重建家园。这是耶和华说的。”

12 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: In this desolate place, without man or beast, and in all its cities, there will once more be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.

12 万军之耶和华说：“在这一片荒凉、人畜绝迹的地方，在它所有城邑必再有供牧人放羊的草场。

13 In the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and the cities surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD.

13 在山区、丘陵和南地的城邑，以及便雅悯地区、耶路撒冷周围和犹大的城邑必再次有人清点羊群。这是耶和华说的。”

14 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the gracious promise that I have spoken to the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

14 耶和华说：“看啊，时候将到，我要实现我给以色列人和犹大人的美好应许。

15 In those days and at that time I will cause to sprout for David a righteous Branch, and He will administer justice and righteousness in the land.

15 那日那时，我要使大卫公义的苗裔兴起，他要在地上秉公行义。

16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely, and this is the name by which it will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.

16 那时，犹大必得拯救，耶路撒冷必安享太平并被称为‘耶和华是我们的义’。

17 For this is what the LORD says: David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,

17 因为耶和华说，‘我应许大卫的后裔必永远坐在以色列的宝座上，

18 nor will the priests who are Levites ever fail to have a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to present sacrifices.”

18 利未家的祭司必永远有人在我面前献燔祭、素祭及其他祭物。’”

19 And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

19 耶和华对耶利米说：

20 “This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time,

20 “耶和华这样说，‘除非你们能废除我与白昼黑夜所立的约，叫白昼黑夜不再按时更替，

21 then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.

21 才能废除我与我仆人大卫所立的约，使他的王位后继无人，也才能废除我与事奉我的利未祭司所立的约。

22 As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”

22 我要使我仆人大卫的后裔和事奉我的利未人，像天上的星和海边的沙一样不可胜数。’”

23 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

23 耶和华对耶利米说：

24 “Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation.

24 “你看到了吗？人们说，‘耶和华已经弃绝了祂所拣选的以色列和犹大两个国家。’他们藐视我的子民，视他们为亡国之民。

25 This is what the LORD says: If I have not established My covenant with the day and the night and the fixed order of heaven and earth,

25 然而，耶和华说，‘正如我决不废弃我所定的昼夜交替之约和天地运行之律，

26 then I would also reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have compassion on them.”

26 我也决不弃绝雅各和我仆人大卫的后裔。我必让大卫的后裔做王统治亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的子孙，因为我必使被掳的人回到故土，也必怜悯他们。’”
