耶利米書33章1-13節
現代中文譯本2019
33:1 我還在王宮監獄的時候，上主又對我說話。
33:2 那位使大地成形、固定大地位置、稱作上主的創造主對我說話，他說：
33:3 「你呼求我，我就回答；我要把你所不知道那偉大奧祕的事告訴你。
33:4 我—上主、以色列的上帝說：耶路撒冷城裡的房屋和猶大的宮殿都將被圍攻，被拆毀。
33:5 有些人到城外對抗巴比倫人；巴比倫人要把我在盛怒下殺戮的人的屍體填滿這城。由於城裡的人所做的壞事，我已經丟棄這城。
33:6 但是我要醫治這城的居民，使他們復原。我要讓他們充分享受和平、安全。
33:7 我要讓猶大和以色列人回歸故土，重整家園。
33:8 我要洗淨他們冒犯我的一切罪過，赦免他們背叛的一切罪行。
33:9 耶路撒冷要使我快樂，受尊重，享榮耀。當世界各國聽到我賜福給耶路撒冷人民，使這城重新繁榮時，都會驚惶戰慄。」
33:10 上主這樣說：「人人都說這塊土地要成為荒野，沒有人，也沒有動物。不錯，猶大各城和耶路撒冷的大街小巷都荒涼了，沒有動物，也沒有人居住。但是你們要在這些地方再次聽見
33:11 歡笑和婚宴喜慶的聲音。你們也要聽見人在聖殿裡獻感恩祭的歌聲；他們要唱：要感謝上主—萬軍的統帥！因為他至善；他的慈愛永遠長存。我要讓你們回歸故土，重整家園。我—上主這樣宣布了。」
33:12 上主—萬軍的統帥這樣說：「這塊荒廢、沒有人或動物居住的土地將重新出現牧場，牧人在那裡放羊。
33:13 在山區的鄉鎮、山麓的村莊、猶大南部各地區、便雅憫境內各地區、耶路撒冷周圍各村莊，和猶大各城，牧人將再一次數點他們的羊。我—上主這樣宣布了。」
ESV
33:1 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard:
33:2 “Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it to establish it—the LORD is his name:
33:3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
33:4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down to make a defense against the siege mounds and against the sword:
33:5 They are coming in to fight against the Chaldeans and to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I shall strike down in my anger and my wrath, for I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil.
33:6 Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.
33:7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and rebuild them as they were at first.
33:8 I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me.
33:9 And this city shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it.
33:10 “Thus says the LORD: In this place of which you say, ‘It is a waste without man or beast,’ in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man or inhabitant or beast, there shall be heard again
33:11 the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, as they bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD: “‘Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!’ For I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the LORD.
33:12 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be habitations of shepherds resting their flocks.
33:13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, flocks shall again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD.
今天的經文是上帝要使猶大和耶路撒冷復興，使被擄的人歸回。
