Jeremiah 33

World English Bible

33 ¹Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying, ²“Yahweh who does it, Yahweh who forms it to establish it—Yahweh is his name, says: ³‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’ ⁴For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword: ⁵‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city, ⁶behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth. ⁷I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first. ⁸I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me. ⁹This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”

¹⁰Yahweh says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’ ¹¹the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to Yahweh of Armies, for Yahweh is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into Yahweh’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says Yahweh.

¹²Yahweh of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. ¹³In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says Yahweh.

¹⁴“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.

¹⁵“In those days and at that time,
    I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David.
    He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
¹⁶In those days Judah will be saved,
    and Jerusalem will dwell safely.
This is the name by which she will be called:
    Yahweh our righteousness.”

¹⁷For Yahweh says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel. ¹⁸The Levitical priests won’t lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”

¹⁹Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁰“Yahweh says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time, ²¹then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he won’t have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers. ²²As the army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”

²³Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁴“Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has Yahweh cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.” ²⁵Yahweh says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, ²⁶then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”

耶利米书 33

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

重申回歸故土的應許

33 耶利米還監禁在衛兵院子裡的時候，耶和華的話第二次臨到他，說： ²“那創造、塑造和堅定大地的是耶和華，耶和華是他的名。他這樣說： ³‘你呼求我，我就應允你，並且把你所不知道的那些偉大奧祕的事告訴你。’ ⁴論到這城裡的房屋和猶大王的宮殿，就是為了抵擋敵人的攻城土壘和刀劍而拆毀的，耶和華以色列的　神這樣說： ⁵‘這城的居民出去和迦勒底人爭戰，就必使這些房屋充滿死屍，就是我在怒氣和烈怒中擊殺的。因為他們的一切惡行，我掩面不顧這城。 ⁶看哪！我必使這城的傷口痊愈康復，我必醫治城中的居民，並且使他們享有十分的平安和穩妥。 ⁷我必使猶大被擄的和以色列被擄的都歸回，並且建立他們像起初一樣。 ⁸我必潔淨他們得罪我的一切罪孽，並且赦免他們得罪我和悖逆我的一切罪孽。 ⁹這城必在地上萬國面前使我得名聲，得喜樂（按照《馬索拉文本》，“得名聲，得喜樂”應作“得喜樂的名聲”；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯），得頌讚，得榮耀，因為萬國必聽見我向這城的人所施的一切福樂。他們因我向這城所施的一切福樂和平安，就都恐懼戰兢。’

回歸者的喜樂

¹⁰“耶和華這樣說：‘論到這地方，你們說：“這地荒廢，沒有人煙，也沒有牲畜。”但在這荒涼、沒有人煙、沒有居民、也沒有牲畜的猶大各城和耶路撒冷的街上，必再聽見 ¹¹歡喜和快樂的聲音，新郎和新婦的聲音；還要聽見那些帶著感恩祭到耶和華殿的人的聲音說：“你們要稱謝萬軍之耶和華，因為耶和華是至善的，他的慈愛永遠長存。”因為我必使這地被擄的歸回，像起初一樣。’”這是耶和華說的。

百廢俱興

¹²“萬軍之耶和華這樣說：‘在這荒廢、沒有人煙、沒有牲畜的地方，和這地所有城中，必再有牧人放羊的牧場。 ¹³在山地、高地和南地的各城，在便雅憫地，在耶路撒冷周圍的各處，以及在猶大的各城裡，必再有牧人數點經過手下的羊群。’”這是耶和華說的。

公義的苗裔

¹⁴“看哪！日子快到（這是耶和華的宣告），我必實踐我向以色列家和猶大家應許賜福的諾言。 ¹⁵在那些日子、那時候，我必使大衛公義的苗裔長起來；他必在地上施行公正和公義。 ¹⁶在那些日子，猶大必得救，耶路撒冷必安然居住；這城必被稱為‘耶和華是我們的公義’。 ¹⁷因為耶和華這樣說：‘大衛家必不斷有人坐在以色列家的王位上。 ¹⁸利未人的祭司也必不斷有人在我面前獻上燔祭和燒素祭；獻祭的事永不止息。’”

永不改變的約

¹⁹耶和華說的話臨到耶利米，說： ²⁰“耶和華這樣說：‘你們若能廢掉我所立白晝和黑夜的約，使白晝和黑夜不按時更替， ²¹就能廢掉我和我僕人大衛所立的約，使他沒有兒子在他的王位上作王；也能廢掉我和那些事奉我的利未支派的祭司所立的約。 ²²我卻必使我僕人大衛的後裔和事奉我的利未人增多，像天上的萬象不能數算、海邊的沙粒不能斗量。’”

²³耶和華的話臨到耶利米，說： ²⁴“你沒有留意列國的人民說甚麼嗎？他們說：‘耶和華所揀選的這兩個家族，他已經棄絕了。’他們藐視我的子民，不再把他們看為一個國家。 ²⁵耶和華這樣說：‘我若沒有設立白晝和黑夜的約，或立定天地的定律， ²⁶我就會棄絕雅各的後裔，和我僕人大衛的後裔，不從大衛的後裔中選人出來統治亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的後裔。我卻必使他們被擄的人歸回，也必憐憫他們。’”

Jeremiah 33

New King James Version

Excellence of the Restored Nation

33 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still ^(A)shut up in the court of the prison, saying, ²“Thus says the Lord ^(B)who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it ^(C)(the^[a] Lord is His name): ³^(D)‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and ^[b]mighty things, which you do not know.’

⁴“For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against ^(E)the siege mounds and the sword: ⁵‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to ^(F)fill their places with the dead bodies of men whom I will slay in My anger and My fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden My face from this city. ⁶Behold, ^(G)I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. ⁷And ^(H)I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places ^(I)as at the first. ⁸I will ^(J)cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. ⁹^(K)Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall ^(L)fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’

¹⁰“Thus says the Lord: ‘Again there shall be heard in this place—^(M)of which you say, “It is desolate, without man and without beast”—in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, ¹¹the ^(N)voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say:

^(O)“Praise the Lord of hosts,
For the Lord is good,
For His mercy endures forever”—

and of those who will bring ^(P)the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first,’ says the Lord.

¹²“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^(Q)‘In this place which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall again be a dwelling place of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. ¹³^(R)In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks shall again ^(S)pass under the hands of him who counts them,’ says the Lord.

¹⁴^(T)‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘that ^(U)I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah:

¹⁵‘In those days and at that time
I will cause to grow up to David
A ^(V)Branch of righteousness;
He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
¹⁶In those days Judah will be saved,
And Jerusalem will dwell safely.
And this is the name by which she will be called:

^[c]THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.’

¹⁷“For thus says the Lord: ‘David shall never ^(W)lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; ¹⁸nor shall the ^(X)priests, the Levites, lack a man to ^(Y)offer burnt offerings before Me, to ^[d]kindle grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually.’ ”

The Permanence of God’s Covenant

¹⁹And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁰“Thus says the Lord: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, ²¹then ^(Z)My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers. ²²As ^(AA)the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I ^(AB)multiply the descendants of David My servant and the ^(AC)Levites who minister to Me.’ ”

²³Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁴“Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has also cast them off’? Thus they have ^(AD)despised My people, as if they should no more be a nation before them.

²⁵“Thus says the Lord: ‘If ^(AE)My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not ^(AF)appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, ²⁶^(AG)then I will ^(AH)cast away the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captives to return, and will have mercy on them.’ ”
