耶利米书 31
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
以色列必复建兴
31 耶和华说:“那时,我必做以色列各家的神,他们必做我的子民。” 2 耶和华如此说:“脱离刀剑的,就是以色列人,我使他享安息的时候,他曾在旷野蒙恩。 3 古时[a]耶和华向以色列[b]显现,说:‘我以永远的爱爱你,因此我以慈爱吸引你。’ 4 以色列的民[c]哪,我要再建立你,你就被建立。你必再以击鼓为美,与欢乐的人一同跳舞而出。 5 又必在撒马利亚的山上栽种葡萄园,栽种的人要享用所结的果子。 6 日子必到,以法莲山上守望的人必呼叫说:‘起来吧!我们可以上锡安,到耶和华我们的神那里去。’”
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!’ 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。 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。
宣扬雅各之得赎
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。’ 11 因耶和华救赎了雅各,救赎他脱离比他更强之人的手。 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。 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。 14 我必以肥油使祭司的心满足,我的百姓也要因我的恩惠知足。”这是耶和华说的。
拉结哭子得主慰藉
15 耶和华如此说:“在拉玛听见号啕痛哭的声音,是拉结哭她儿女,不肯受安慰,因为他们都不在了。” 16 耶和华如此说:“你禁止声音不要哀哭,禁止眼目不要流泪,因你所做之工必有赏赐,他们必从敌国归回。”这是耶和华说的。 17 耶和华说:“你末后必有指望,你的儿女必回到自己的境界。 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。 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。’” 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。”
主创新事以女卫男
21 “以色列民[d]哪,你当为自己设立指路碑,竖起引路柱,你要留心向大路,就是你所去的原路。你当回转,回转到你这些城邑。 22 背道的民[e]哪,你翻来覆去要到几时呢?耶和华在地上造了一件新事,就是女子护卫男子。”
耶和华眷爱己民
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!’ 24 犹大和属犹大城邑的人,农夫和放羊的人,要一同住在其中。 25 疲乏的人,我使他饱饫;愁烦的人,我使他知足。” 26 先知说:我醒了,觉着睡得香甜。
27 耶和华说:“日子将到,我要把人的种和牲畜的种播种在以色列家和犹大家。 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。 29 “当那些日子,人不再说:‘父亲吃了酸葡萄,儿子的牙酸倒了。’ 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。”
与民立新约
31 耶和华说:“日子将到,我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约。 32 不像我拉着他们祖宗的手领他们出埃及地的时候,与他们所立的约,我虽做他们的丈夫,他们却背了我的约。”这是耶和华说的。 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;我要做他们的神,他们要做我的子民。 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。
35 那使太阳白日发光,使星月有定例黑夜发亮,又搅动大海,使海中波浪砰訇的,万军之耶和华是他的名,他如此说: 36 “这些定例若能在我面前废掉,以色列的后裔也就在我面前断绝,永远不再成国。”这是耶和华说的。 37 耶和华如此说:“若能量度上天,寻察下地的根基,我就因以色列后裔一切所行的弃绝他们。”这是耶和华说的。
38 耶和华说:“日子将到,这城必为耶和华建造,从哈楠业楼直到角门。 39 准绳要往外量出,直到迦立山,又转到歌亚。 40 抛尸的全谷和倒灰之处,并一切田地,直到汲沦溪,又直到东方马门的拐角,都要归耶和华为圣。不再拔出,不再倾覆,直到永远。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以色列人必回归
31 耶和华说:“那时,我要做以色列各宗族的上帝,他们必做我的子民。
2 “逃脱刀兵之灾的以色列人必在旷野蒙恩,
找到安息之所。
这是耶和华说的。”
3 从前,耶和华向以色列显现,说:
“我以永远不变的爱爱你,
我以慈爱吸引你到我身边。
4 以色列人啊,
我要重建你们的家园,
你们要再次拿起铃鼓与欢乐的人一同跳舞。
5 你们将在撒玛利亚的山上重新栽种葡萄园,
享受园中的果实。
6 有一天,看守园子的人要在以法莲的山上呼喊,
‘我们上锡安朝见我们的上帝耶和华吧!’”
7 耶和华说:
“你们要为雅各欢呼歌唱,
向列国之首喝采。
你们要传扬颂赞,说,
‘耶和华啊,
求你拯救以色列剩余的子民!’
8 看啊,我要从北方,
从地极招聚他们,
其中有瞎子、跛子、孕妇和产妇,
他们要成群结队地回到这里。
9 我必引领他们回来,
他们必一路含泪祷告。
我要使他们走在溪水边,
行在平坦的路上,
他们必不会跌倒,
因为我是以色列的父亲,
以法莲是我的长子。
10 “列国啊,你们要听耶和华的话,
要在远方的海岛宣扬,
‘祂从前驱散以色列人,
如今必再聚集、保护他们,
好像牧人看守自己的羊群一样。’
11 耶和华必拯救雅各的子孙,
从强敌手中救出他们。
12 他们必来到锡安山上欢呼,
为耶和华所赐的五谷、新酒、
油、羔羊和牛犊而欢欣。
他们就像水源充足的田园,
一无所缺。
13 那时,少女要欢然起舞,
老人和青年要一起快乐。
我要使他们转忧为喜,
我要安慰他们,使他们欢喜,
不再忧愁。
14 我要使祭司有充足的供应,
使我的子民饱享美物。
这是耶和华说的。”
15 耶和华说:
“在拉玛有痛哭哀号的声音,
是拉结在为儿女哀痛,
不肯接受安慰,
因为他们都死了。”
16 耶和华说:
“不要哭泣,不要流泪,
因为你的劳苦必有回报,
你的儿女必从敌国回来。
这是耶和华说的。
17 你将来必有盼望,
你的儿女必重返家园。
这是耶和华说的。
18 我听见以法莲[a]在为自己悲叹,
‘我们就像未经驯服的牛犊,
你管教我们,使我们顺服,
求你使我们回到你身边,
重新复兴,
因为你是我们的上帝耶和华。
19 我们曾经离开你,
但我们后悔了;
我们醒悟之后捶胸顿足,
痛悔不已,
因早年的所作所为而羞愧难当。’”
20 耶和华说:“以法莲不是我的爱子吗?
他不是我喜悦的孩子吗?
我虽然常常责备他,
但仍然惦记着他。
我深深地想念他,
我必怜悯他。
21 “以色列人啊,
你们要为自己设置路标,
竖起路牌,
牢记你们走过的大道。
以色列人啊,
回来吧!回到你们的城邑吧!
22 不忠贞的子民啊!
你们四处流浪要到何时呢?
耶和华在地上行了一件新事——女子将要护卫男子。”
23 以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说:“我使被掳的犹大人回到故乡后,他们要在犹大各城邑再次呼喊,
“‘公义的居所啊,
圣山啊,愿耶和华赐福给你!’
24 “农夫和牧人必住在犹大的各城邑。 25 我要使疲乏的人振作起来,使苦闷的人快乐起来。”
26 这时,我醒过来,觉得这一觉实在香甜。
27 耶和华说:“看啊,时候将到,我要使以色列和犹大人丁兴旺,牲畜繁多。 28 我曾决意铲除、拆毁、推翻、剿灭他们,降灾给他们,将来我必塑造、栽培他们。这是耶和华说的。 29 那时,人再不会说,
“‘父亲吃酸葡萄,
儿子的牙酸倒了。’
30 因为各人都要承担自己的罪,谁吃酸葡萄,谁的牙酸倒。” 31 耶和华说:“看啊,时候将到,我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约, 32 这约不同于我与他们祖先所立的约,就是我牵着他们祖先的手领他们离开埃及时所立的。虽然我是他们的丈夫,他们却违背了我的约。这是耶和华说的。”
33 耶和华说:“那些日子以后,我将与以色列家立这样的约,我要把我的律法放在他们脑中,写在他们心上。我要做他们的上帝,他们要做我的子民。 34 谁都无需再教导他的邻居和弟兄,说,‘你要认识耶和华’,因为他们无论尊卑都必认识我。我要赦免他们的过犯,忘掉他们的罪恶。这是耶和华说的。”
35 使阳光白天照耀、
星月晚上发光、
大海波涛汹涌的万军之耶和华说:
36 “只要天地之律还在,
以色列邦国必永续不断。
这是耶和华说的。”
37 耶和华说:
“正如无人能量度高天,
探测大地的根基,
同样我也决不会因以色列人的所作所为而弃绝他们。
这是耶和华说的。”
38 耶和华说:“看啊,时候将到,从哈楠业楼直到角门,整个耶路撒冷城要重建起来归给耶和华。 39 城界要向外延伸到迦立山,再转到歌亚。 40 甚至抛尸、倒灰的整个山谷,以及从汲沦溪到东边马门拐角的所有田地都要归给耶和华作圣地,永不再被倾覆、毁灭。”

Jeremiah 31
New International Version
31 “At that time,” declares the Lord, “I will be the God(A) of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
2 This is what the Lord says:
“The people who survive the sword
will find favor(B) in the wilderness;
I will come to give rest(C) to Israel.”
3 The Lord appeared to us in the past,[a] saying:
“I have loved(D) you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn(E) you with unfailing kindness.
4 I will build you up again,
and you, Virgin(F) Israel, will be rebuilt.(G)
Again you will take up your timbrels(H)
and go out to dance(I) with the joyful.(J)
5 Again you will plant(K) vineyards
on the hills of Samaria;(L)
the farmers will plant them
and enjoy their fruit.(M)
6 There will be a day when watchmen(N) cry out
on the hills of Ephraim,
‘Come, let us go up to Zion,
to the Lord our God.’”(O)
7 This is what the Lord says:
“Sing(P) with joy for Jacob;
shout for the foremost(Q) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
‘Lord, save(R) your people,
the remnant(S) of Israel.’
8 See, I will bring them from the land of the north(T)
and gather(U) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(V) and the lame,(W)
expectant mothers and women in labor;
a great throng will return.
9 They will come with weeping;(X)
they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(Y) them beside streams of water(Z)
on a level(AA) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(AB)
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:(AC)
‘He who scattered(AD) Israel will gather(AE) them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(AF)
11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
and redeem(AG) them from the hand of those stronger(AH) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(AI) on the heights(AJ) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(AK) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(AL)
the young of the flocks(AM) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(AN)
and they will sorrow(AO) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(AP) into gladness;
I will give them comfort(AQ) and joy(AR) instead of sorrow.
14 I will satisfy(AS) the priests(AT) with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,(AU)”
declares the Lord.
15 This is what the Lord says:
“A voice is heard in Ramah,(AV)
mourning and great weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,(AW)
because they are no more.”(AX)
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Restrain your voice from weeping
and your eyes from tears,(AY)
for your work will be rewarded,(AZ)”
declares the Lord.
“They will return(BA) from the land of the enemy.
17 So there is hope(BB) for your descendants,”
declares the Lord.
“Your children(BC) will return to their own land.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning:
‘You disciplined(BD) me like an unruly calf,(BE)
and I have been disciplined.
Restore(BF) me, and I will return,
because you are the Lord my God.
19 After I strayed,(BG)
I repented;
after I came to understand,
I beat(BH) my breast.
I was ashamed(BI) and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’(BJ)
20 Is not Ephraim my dear son,
the child(BK) in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him,
I still remember(BL) him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him;
I have great compassion(BM) for him,”
declares the Lord.
21 “Set up road signs;
put up guideposts.(BN)
Take note of the highway,(BO)
the road that you take.
Return,(BP) Virgin(BQ) Israel,
return to your towns.
22 How long will you wander,(BR)
unfaithful(BS) Daughter Israel?
The Lord will create a new thing(BT) on earth—
the woman will return to[b](BU) the man.”
23 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity,[c](BV) the people in the land of Judah and in its towns will once again use these words: ‘The Lord bless(BW) you, you prosperous city,(BX) you sacred mountain.’(BY) 24 People will live(BZ) together in Judah and all its towns—farmers and those who move about with their flocks.(CA) 25 I will refresh the weary(CB) and satisfy the faint.”(CC)
26 At this I awoke(CD) and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant to me.
27 “The days are coming,”(CE) declares the Lord, “when I will plant(CF) the kingdoms of Israel and Judah with the offspring of people and of animals. 28 Just as I watched(CG) over them to uproot(CH) and tear down, and to overthrow, destroy and bring disaster,(CI) so I will watch over them to build and to plant,”(CJ) declares the Lord. 29 “In those days people will no longer say,
30 Instead, everyone will die for their own sin;(CM) whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge.
31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will make a new covenant(CN)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant(CO)
I made with their ancestors(CP)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,(CQ)
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband(CR) to[d] them,[e]”
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds(CS)
and write it on their hearts.(CT)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(CU)
34 No longer will they teach(CV) their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know(CW) me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive(CX) their wickedness
and will remember their sins(CY) no more.”
35 This is what the Lord says,
he who appoints(CZ) the sun
to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
to shine by night,(DA)
who stirs up the sea(DB)
so that its waves roar(DC)—
the Lord Almighty is his name:(DD)
36 “Only if these decrees(DE) vanish from my sight,”
declares the Lord,
“will Israel(DF) ever cease
being a nation before me.”
37 This is what the Lord says:
“Only if the heavens above can be measured(DG)
and the foundations of the earth below be searched out
will I reject(DH) all the descendants of Israel
because of all they have done,”
declares the Lord.
38 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this city will be rebuilt(DI) for me from the Tower of Hananel(DJ) to the Corner Gate.(DK) 39 The measuring line(DL) will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah. 40 The whole valley(DM) where dead bodies(DN) and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley(DO) on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate,(DP) will be holy(DQ) to the Lord. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished.”

King James Version
31 At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.
7 For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.
15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The Lord bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37 Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
38 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.
39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
