1以色列必回归与复兴
1At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, I am for God to all families of Israel, And they — they are to Me for a people.
2耶和华这样说：“在刀剑下幸存的人民，在旷野蒙受了恩宠；以色列来到她安息之处。”
2Thus said Jehovah: Found grace in the wilderness Hath a people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest — Israel.
3耶和华在古时（“在古时”或译：“从远处”）曾向以色列（“以色列”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“我”，现参照《七十士译本》翻译）显现，说：“我以永远的爱爱你，因此，我对你的慈爱延续不息（“我对你的慈爱延续不息”或译：“我要以慈爱吸引你”）。
3From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee [with] kindness.
4童女以色列啊！我要再次建立你，你就必被建立。你要再次拿起铃鼓，出去和那些欢乐的人一同跳舞。
4Again do I build thee, And thou hast been built, O virgin of Israel, Again thou puttest on thy tabrets, And hast gone out in the chorus of the playful.
5你要再次在撒玛利亚的众山上栽种葡萄园，栽种的人栽种了，必可享用所结的果子。
5Again thou dost plant vineyards In mountains of Samaria, Planters have planted, and made common.
6因为有一天，守望的人要在以法莲山上呼叫，说：‘起来吧！我们上锡安去朝见耶和华我们的 神。’”
6For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim, `Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God;
7耶和华这样说：“你们要为雅各喜乐欢呼，要为那在列国为首的呼喊。你们要宣告，要颂赞，说：‘耶和华啊！求你拯救你的子民，就是以色列的余民。’
7For thus said Jehovah: Sing, O ye to Jacob, [with] joy, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound ye, praise ye, and say, Save, O Jehovah, thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8看哪！我必把他们从北方之地领回来，把他们从地极招集起来；在他们中间有瞎眼的、瘸腿的、孕妇、产妇，都在一起；他们成群结队返回这里。
8Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are] blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one — together, A great assembly — they turn back hither.
9我引导他们的时候，他们必哭着而来，并且向我乞恩恳求。我要使他们走在溪水旁，行在平直的路上，他们必不会绊跌；因为我是以色列的父亲，以法莲是我的长子。
9With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way — they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim — My first-born [is] he.
10雅各得蒙救赎“列国啊！你们要听耶和华的话，要在远方的海岛传扬，说：‘那赶散以色列的 神，必再招集他们；必看守他们，像牧人看守自己的羊群一样。’
10Hear a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd [doth] his flock,
11因为耶和华买赎了雅各，从比他更强的人手中把他救赎了出来。
11For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
12他们必来到锡安的高处欢呼；他们必容光焕发，因为耶和华赐他们各样的美物，就是五谷、新酒和油，还有羊羔和牛犊。他们必像有水灌溉的园子，永不再枯干。
12And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more.
13那时，童女必欢乐跳舞，年轻的和年老的一起欢乐。我必使他们的悲哀变为喜乐，我必安慰他们，使他们从忧愁中得着欢乐。
13Then rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men — together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,
14我必用肥脂使祭司的心满足；我的子民必因我的美物饱足。”这是耶和华的宣告。
14And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
15耶和华这样说：“在拉玛听见有声音，是痛哭哀号的声音；拉结为她的儿女哀哭，不肯受安慰，因为他们都不在了。”
15Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.
16耶和华这样说：“止住你的声音，不要哭泣，抑制你的眼睛不要再流泪，因为你所作的必有果效；他们必从仇敌之地回来。”这是耶和华的宣告。
16Thus said Jehovah: Withhold thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, For there is a reward for thy work, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have turned back from the land of the enemy.
17“你的前途必有希望；你的儿女必返回自己的地方。”这是耶和华的宣告。
17And there is hope for thy latter end, An affirmation of Jehovah, And the sons have turned back [to] their border.
18“我清楚听见以法莲为自己哀叹，说：‘你管教了我，我像一头不驯服的牛犊受管教；求你使我回转，我就得以回转，因为你是耶和华我的 神。
18I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, `Thou hast chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For thou [art] Jehovah my God.
19我回转以后，就深深悔悟；我醒觉以后，就拍腿悔恨。因为我承受年幼时的耻辱，我感到羞耻和惭愧。’
19For after my turning back I repented, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne the reproach of my youth.
20以法莲是我亲爱的儿子吗？是我喜悦的孩子吗？每逢我说话攻击他，我必再次记念他。因此，我的心恋慕他；我必定怜悯他。”这是耶和华的宣告。
20A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.
21你要为自己设立路标，竖立路牌；你要留心大路，就是你走过的路。童女以色列啊，回转吧！回到你这些城市那里。
21Set up for thee signs, make for thee heaps, Set thy heart to the highway, the way thou wentest, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back unto these thy cities.
22转离正道的女儿哪，你转来转去要到几时呢？因为耶和华在地上创造了一件新事，就是女的要环绕男的。
22Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land, Woman doth compass man.
23耶和华眷爱自己的子民万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说：“我使被掳的人归回的时候，他们在犹大地，在犹大的城镇里，必再说这样的话：‘公义的居所啊，圣山哪，愿耶和华赐福给你！’
23Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.
24犹大各城的人、耕地的和领着群畜游牧的，都要一起住在犹大。
24And dwelt in Judah have husbandmen, and in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
25疲倦的人，我必使他振作；愁苦的人，我必使他满足。”
25For I have satiated the weary soul, And every grieved soul I have filled.`
26这时，我醒过来，四周观看；我睡得很香甜。
26On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.
27“看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），我必使以色列家和犹大家人口和牲畜繁殖。
27Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man, and seed of beast.
28我先前怎样留意把他们拔出、拆毁、倾覆、毁灭和降灾；将来我也必照样留意把他们建立和栽种起来。”这是耶和华的宣告。
28And it hath been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So do I watch over them to build, and to plant, An affirmation of Jehovah.
29“在那些日子，人必不再说：‘父亲吃了酸葡萄，儿子的牙齿酸倒了。’
29In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons` teeth are blunted.
30因为各人必因自己的罪孽死亡；吃酸葡萄的，那人的牙齿必酸倒。
30But — each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
31订立新约“看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），我要与以色列家和犹大家订立新的约。
31Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new covenant,
32这新约不像从前我拉他们祖先的手，领他们出埃及地的日子，与他们所立的约；我虽然是他们的丈夫，他们却违背了我的约。”这是耶和华的宣告。
32Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them — an affirmation of Jehovah.
33“但那些日子以后，我要与以色列家所立的约是这样（这是耶和华的宣告）：我要把我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们的心里。我要作他们的 神，他们要作我的子民。
33For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.
34他们各人必不再教导自己的邻舍和自己的同胞，说：‘你们要认识耶和华。’因为所有的人，从最小到最大的都必认识我。我也要赦免他们的罪孽，不再记着他们的罪恶。”这是耶和华的宣告。
34And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.
35那使太阳白昼发光，派定月亮和星辰照耀黑夜，又搅动海洋，使海浪澎湃的，万军之耶和华是他的名，他这样说：
35Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name:
36“这些定律若能从我面前废掉，以色列的后裔也就会在我面前断绝，永远不再成为一个国家。”这是耶和华的宣告。
36If these statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation before Me all the days.
37耶和华这样说：“人若能量度在上的诸天，测透地下面的根基，我也就会因以色列后裔所作的一切，弃绝他们众人。”这是耶和华的宣告。
37Thus said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An affirmation of Jehovah.
38“看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），这城从哈楠业城楼直到角门，必为耶和华重建起来。
38Lo, days [are coming], an affirmation of Jehovah, And the city hath been built to Jehovah, From the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner.
39量度的准绳还要往外量，直到迦立山，绕到歌亚。
39And gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah.
40拋尸和倒灰的整个山谷，以及从汲沦溪直到东边马门拐角一带所有的墓地，都必归耶和华为圣，永远不再拔出，不再倾覆。”
40And all the valley of the carcases and of the ashes, And all the fields unto the brook Kidron, Unto the corner of the horse-gate eastward, [Are] holy to Jehovah, it is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down any more to the age!
