耶利米书 31
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 King James Version
The Remnant of Israel Saved
31 “At (A)the same time,” says the Lord, (B)“I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”
2 Thus says the Lord:
“The people who survived the sword
Found grace in the wilderness—
Israel, when (C)I went to give him rest.”
3 The Lord has appeared [a]of old to me, saying:
“Yes, (D)I have loved you with (E)an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have (F)drawn you.
4 Again (G)I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel!
You shall again be adorned with your (H)tambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
5 (I)You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria;
The planters shall plant and [b]eat them as ordinary food.
6 For there shall be a day
When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim,
(J)‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.’ ”
7 For thus says the Lord:
(K)“Sing with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘O Lord, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel!’
8 Behold, I will bring them (L)from the north country,
And (M)gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labors with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
9 (N)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk (O)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My (P)firstborn.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
And declare it in the [c]isles afar off, and say,
‘He who scattered Israel (Q)will gather him,
And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’
11 For (R)the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And ransomed him (S)from the hand of one stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in (T)the height of Zion,
Streaming to (U)the goodness of the Lord—
For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd;
Their souls shall be like a (V)well-watered garden,
(W)And they shall sorrow no more at all.
13 “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old, together;
For I will turn their mourning to joy,
Will comfort them,
And make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
14 I will [d]satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord.”
Mercy on Ephraim
15 Thus says the Lord:
(X)“A voice was heard in (Y)Ramah,
Lamentation and bitter (Z)weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted for her children,
Because (AA)they are no more.”
16 Thus says the Lord:
“Refrain your voice from (AB)weeping,
And your eyes from tears;
For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord,
And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
17 There is (AC)hope in your future, says the Lord,
That your children shall come back to their own border.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself:
‘You have (AD)chastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained bull;
(AE)Restore me, and I will return,
For You are the Lord my God.
19 Surely, (AF)after my turning, I repented;
And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was (AG)ashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
(AH)Therefore My [e]heart yearns for him;
(AI)I will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord.
21 “Set up signposts,
Make landmarks;
(AJ)Set your heart toward the highway,
The way in which you went.
[f]Turn back, O virgin of Israel,
Turn back to these your cities.
22 How long will you (AK)gad about,
O you (AL)backsliding daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth—
A woman shall encompass a man.”
Future Prosperity of Judah
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “They shall again use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: (AM)‘The Lord bless you, O home of justice, and (AN)mountain of holiness!’ 24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and (AO)in all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks. 25 For I have [g]satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was (AP)sweet to me.
27 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that (AQ)I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass, that as I have (AR)watched over them (AS)to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them (AT)to build and to plant, says the Lord. 29 (AU)In those days they shall say no more:
‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
30 (AV)But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
A New Covenant
31 “Behold, the (AW)days are coming, says the Lord, when 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 (AX)I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, [h]though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33 (AY)But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: (AZ)I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their [i]hearts; (BA)and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for (BB)they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For (BC)I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
35 Thus says the Lord,
(BD)Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs (BE)the sea,
And its waves roar
(BF)(The Lord of hosts is His name):
36 “If (BG)those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
37 Thus says the Lord:
(BH)“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also (BI)cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.
38 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord (BJ)from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 (BK)The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, (BL)to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, (BM)shall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”
