Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1耶和華說：「那時，我必作 以色列 各家的上帝；他們必作我的子民。」
1At that time, saith the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of and they shall be my people.
2耶和華如此說： 脫離刀劍的就是 以色列 人。 我使他享安息的時候， 他曾在曠野蒙恩。
2Thus saith the Lord: The people were left and escaped from the sword, found grace in the desert: Israel shall to his rest.
3古時耶和華向 以色列 顯現， 說 ： 我以永遠的愛愛你， 因此我以慈愛吸引你。
3The Lord hath appeared from afar to me. Yea I have loved thee with everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee.
4以色列 的民哪， 我要再建立你，你就被建立； 你必再以擊鼓為美， 與歡樂的人一同跳舞而出；
4And I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5又必在 撒馬利亞 的山上栽種葡萄園， 栽種的人要享用 所結的果子 。
5Thou shalt yet plant vineyards in the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and they shall not gather the vintage before the time.
6日子必到， 以法蓮 山上守望的人必呼叫說： 起來吧！我們可以上 錫安 ， 到耶和華－我們的上帝那裏去。
6For there shall be a day, in which the watchmen on mount Ephraim, shall cry: Arise, and let us go up to Sion to the Lord our God.
7耶和華如此說： 你們當為 雅各 歡樂歌唱， 因萬國中為首的歡呼。 當傳揚頌讚說： 耶和華啊， 求你拯救你的百姓 以色列 所剩下的人。
7For thus saith the Lord: Rejoice ye in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles: shout ye, and sing, and say: Save, O Lord, thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8我必將他們從北方領來， 從地極招聚； 同着他們來的有瞎子、瘸子、孕婦、產婦； 他們必成為大幫回到這裏來。
8Behold I will bring them from the north country, and will gather them from the ends of the earth: and among them shall be the blind, and the lame, the woman with child, and she that is bringing forth, together, a great company of them returning hither.
9他們要哭泣而來。 我要照他們懇求的引導他們， 使他們在河水旁走正直的路， 在其上不致絆跌； 因為我是 以色列 的父， 以法蓮 是我的長子。
9They shall come with weeping: and I will bring them back in mercy: and I will bring them through the torrents of waters in a right way, and they shall not stumble in it: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10列國啊，要聽耶和華的話， 傳揚在遠處的海島說： 趕散 以色列 的必招聚他， 又看守他，好像牧人看守羊群。
10Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.
11因耶和華救贖了 雅各 ， 救贖他脫離比他更強之人的手。
11For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he.
12他們要來到 錫安 的高處歌唱， 又流歸耶和華施恩 之地 ， 就是有五穀、新酒，和油， 並羊羔、牛犢 之地 。 他們的心必像澆灌的園子； 他們也不再有一點愁煩。
12And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord, for the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds, and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more.
13那時，處女必歡樂跳舞； 年少的、年老的，也必一同歡樂； 因為我要使他們的悲哀變為歡喜， 並要安慰他們，使他們的愁煩轉為快樂。
13Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.
14我必以肥油使祭司的心滿足； 我的百姓也要因我的恩惠知足。 這是耶和華說的。
14And I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness: and my people shall be filled with my good things, saith the Lord.
15耶和華如此說： 在 拉瑪 聽見號咷痛哭的聲音， 是 拉結 哭她兒女，不肯受安慰， 因為他們都不在了。
15Thus saith the Lord: A voice was heard on high of lamentation, of mourning, and weeping, of Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted for them, because they are not.
16耶和華如此說： 你禁止聲音不要哀哭， 禁止眼目不要流淚， 因你所做之工必有賞賜； 他們必從敵國歸回。 這是耶和華說的。
16Thus saith the Lord: Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thy eyes from tears: for there is a reward for thy work, saith the Lord: and they shall return out of the land of the enemy.
17耶和華說：你末後必有指望； 你的兒女必回到自己的境界。
17And here is hope for thy last end, saith the Lord: and the children shall return to their own borders.
18我聽見 以法蓮 為自己悲歎說： 你責罰我，我便受責罰， 像不慣 負軛 的牛犢一樣。 求你使我回轉，我便回轉， 因為你是耶和華－我的上帝。
18Hearing I heard Ephraim when he went into captivity: thou hast chastised me, and I was instructed, as a young bullock unaccustomed to the yoke. Convert me, and I shall be converted, for thou art the Lord my God.
19我回轉以後就真正懊悔； 受教以後就拍腿 歎息 ； 我因擔當幼年的凌辱就抱愧蒙羞。
19For after thou didst convert me, I did penance: and after thou didst shew unto me, I struck my thigh: I am confounded and ashamed, because I have borne the reproach of my youth.
20耶和華說： 以法蓮 是我的愛子嗎？ 是可喜悅的孩子嗎？ 我每逢責備他，仍深顧念他； 所以我的心腸戀慕他； 我必要憐憫他。
20Surely Ephraim is an honourable son to me, surely he is a tender child: for since I spoke of him, I will still remember him. Therefore are my bowels troubled for him: pitying I will pity him, saith the Lord.
21以色列 民哪， 你當為自己設立指路碑， 豎起引路柱。 你要留心向大路， 就是你所去的原路； 你當回轉，回轉到你這些城邑。
21Set thee up a watchtower, make to thee bitterness: direct thy heart into the right way, wherein thou hast walked: return, O virgin of Israel, return to these thy cities.
22背道的民哪， 你反來覆去要到幾時呢？ 耶和華在地上造了一件新事， 就是女子護衛男子。
22How long wilt thou be dissolute in deliciousness, O wandering daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing upon the earth: A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN.
23萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：「我使被擄之人歸回的時候，他們在 猶大 地和其中的城邑必再這樣說： 公義的居所啊， 聖山哪，願耶和華賜福給你。
23Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As yet shall they say this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring back their captivity: The Lord bless thee, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.
24猶大 和屬 猶大 城邑的人，農夫和放羊的人，要一同住在其中。
24And Juda and all his cities shall dwell therein together: the husbandmen and they that drive the flocks.
25疲乏的人，我使他飽飫；愁煩的人，我使他知足。」
25For I have inebriated the weary soul: and I have filled every hungry soul.
26先知說 ：「我醒了，覺着睡得香甜！」
26Upon this I was as it were awaked out of a sleep, and I saw, and my sleep was sweet to me.
27耶和華說：「日子將到，我要把人的種和牲畜的種播種在 以色列 家和 猶大 家。
27Behold the days come, saith the Lord: and I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of beasts.
28我先前怎樣留意將他們拔出、拆毀、毀壞、傾覆、苦害，也必照樣留意將他們建立、栽植。這是耶和華說的。
28And as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to throw down, and to scatter, and destroy, and afflict: so will I watch over them, to build up, and to plant them, saith the Lord.
29當那些日子，人不再說： 父親吃了酸葡萄， 兒子的牙酸倒了。
29In those days they shall say no more: The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.
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。」
30But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that shall eat the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31耶和華說：「日子將到，我要與 以色列 家和 猶大 家另立新約，
31Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
32不像我拉着他們祖宗的手，領他們出 埃及 地的時候，與他們所立的約。我雖作他們的丈夫，他們卻背了我的約。這是耶和華說的。」
32Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt: the covenant which they made void, and I had dominion over them, saith the Lord.
33耶和華說：「那些日子以後，我與 以色列 家所立的約乃是這樣：我要將我的律法放在他們裏面，寫在他們心上。我要作他們的上帝，他們要作我的子民。
33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my law in their bowels, and I will write it in their heart: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34他們各人不再教導自己的鄰舍和自己的弟兄說：『你該認識耶和華』，因為他們從最小的到至大的都必認識我。我要赦免他們的罪孽，不再記念他們的罪惡。這是耶和華說的。」
34And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the least of them even to the greatest, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35那使太陽白日發光， 使星月有定例，黑夜發亮， 又攪動大海，使海中波浪匉訇的， 萬軍之耶和華是他的名。 他如此說：
35Thus saith the Lord, who giveth the sun for the light of the day, the order of the moon and of the stars, for the light of the night: who stirreth up the sea, and the waves thereof roar, the Lord of hosts is his name.
36這些定例若能在我面前廢掉， 以色列 的後裔也就在我面前斷絕， 永遠不再成國。 這是耶和華說的。
36If these ordinances shall fail before me, saith the Lord: then also the seed of Israel shall fail, so as not to be a nation before me for ever.
37耶和華如此說： 若能量度上天， 尋察下地的根基， 我就因 以色列 後裔一切所行的棄絕他們。 這是耶和華說的。
37Thus saith the Lord: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I also will cast away all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
38耶和華說：「日子將到，這城必為耶和華建造，從 哈楠業 樓直到 角門 。
38Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hanameel even to the gate of the corner.
39準繩要往外量出，直到 迦立山 ，又轉到 歌亞 。
39And the measuring line shall go out farther in his sight upon the hill Gareb: and it shall compass Goatha,
40拋屍的全谷和倒灰之處，並一切田地，直到 汲淪溪 ，又直到東方 馬門 的拐角，都要歸耶和華為聖，不再拔出，不再傾覆，直到永遠。」
40And the whole valley of dead bodies and of ashes, and all the country of death, even to the torrent Cedron, and the corner of the horse gate towards the east, the Holy of the Lord: it shall not be plucked up, and it shall not be destroyed any more for ever.
