Jehovah’s Promise Concerning the Restoration of Israel (1
2读经：耶利米书三十至三十一章。耶利米三十至三十三章这段是论到耶和华关于以色列复兴的应许。在本篇信息中，我们要开始看三十、三十一章所启示这应许之复兴的各方面。
2Scripture Reading: Jer. 30—31 Jeremiah 30—33 is a portion concerned with Jehovah's promise concerning the restoration of Israel. In this message we will begin to consider the various aspects of this promised restoration revealed in chapters thirty and thirty-one
3壹耶和华从远方向以色列显现
3I. JEHOVAH APPEARING TO ISRAEL FROM AFAR
4耶和华从远方（从以色列跟随祂的旷野－二2下）向以色列显现。耶和华说，祂以永远的爱（订亲时的爱情－二2上）爱以色列，因此祂以慈爱吸引他们。（三一3。）耶和华说，『以色列的民哪，我要再建立你，你就被建立。你必再以铃鼓为妆饰，与欢乐的人一同跳舞而出。你必在撒玛利亚的山上，再栽种葡萄园；栽种的人要栽种，且要享用所结的果子。』（4～5。）
4Jehovah appeared to Israel from afar (from the wilderness where they followed Him—2:2b). Jehovah said that He loved Israel with an eternal love (the bridal love—2:2a); therefore, He has drawn them with lovingkindness (31:3). Jehovah went on to say, "I will build you again, and you will be built, / O virgin of Israel. / Again you will adorn yourself with your tambourines / And will go forth in the dance of those who make merry. / Again you will plant vineyards / On the mountains of Samaria; / The planters will plant / And will partake of the fruit" (vv. 4-5
贰 耶和华使以色列和犹大
II. JEHOVAH TURNING THE CAPTIVITY
从被掳归回
OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH
5耶和华要使以色列和犹大从被掳归回，并要带他们回到祂所赐给他们列祖之地，他们就得这地为业。（三十3。）
5Jehovah will turn the captivity of Israel and Judah and will bring them back to the land which He gave to their fathers, and they will possess it (30:3
一 耶和华告诉雅各不要惧怕，以色列不要惊惶
A. Jehovah Telling Jacob Not to Fear and Israel Not to Be Dismayed
6在三十章十节上半耶和华说，祂的仆人雅各阿，不要惧怕，以色列阿，不要惊惶。祂要从远方拯救他们，从被掳到之地拯救他们的后裔。然后祂应许：『雅各必回来得享平靖安逸，无人使他害怕。耶和华说，因我与你同在，要拯救你；也要将所赶散你到的列国灭绝净尽，却不将你灭绝净尽。』（10下～11上。）
6In verse 10a Jehovah declared that Jacob, His servant, should not fear and that Israel should not be dismayed. He would save them from afar, and their seed from the land of their captivity. Then He promised, "Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease, / And none will frighten him. / For I am with you, declares Jehovah, to save you; / For I will make a full end of all the nations to which I have scattered you; / But I will not make a full end of you" (vv. 10b-11a
二 从北方之地，从地极
B. From the Land of the North and from the Uttermost Parts of the Earth
7耶和华应许将他们从北方之地领来，从地极招聚。（三一8上。）
7Jehovah promised to bring them from the land of the north and to gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth (31:8a).
三 大帮回到以色列地
C. A Great Assembly Returning to the Land of Israel
8大帮必回到以色列地。这帮必包括瞎子、瘸子、孕妇、产妇。（8下。）
8A great assembly will return to the land of Israel. This assembly will include the blind, the lame, the pregnant woman, and the travailing woman (v. 8b
四 他们哭泣而来，耶和华照他们的恳求引导他们
D. They Coming with Weeping and Jehovah Leading Them with Supplications
9他们要哭泣而来，耶和华要照他们的恳求引导他们。祂要使他们在河水旁走正直的路，在其上不致绊跌；因为祂是以色列的父，以法莲是祂的长子。（9。）
9They will come with weeping, and with supplications Jehovah will lead them. He will cause them to walk by the water brooks in a straight way, in which they will not stumble; for He is a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is His firstborn (v. 9
五 耶和华救赎以色列脱离比他们更强之人的手
E. Jehovah Redeeming Israel from the Hand of One Stronger than Them
10照著十一至十四节，耶和华必救赎以色列脱离比他们更强之人的手。他们要来到锡安的高处歌唱，又流归耶和华的恩慈－五谷、新酒、新油、并羊羔、牛犊。他们的心必像浇灌的园子，他们也不再有愁烦。那时处女必欢乐跳舞，年少的和年老的必一同欢乐；耶和华要使他们的悲哀变为欢喜，并要安慰他们，使他们的忧愁转为喜乐。祂必以肥油使祭司的心饱足，祂的百姓必因祂的恩慈满足。
10According to verses 11 through 14, Jehovah will redeem Israel from the hand of one stronger than them. They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and they will flow forth to the goodness of Jehovah— to the grain, to the new wine, to the fresh oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be like a watered garden, and they will not languish any more. Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old men together, and Jehovah will turn their mourning to gladness, comfort them, and cause them to rejoice after their sorrow. He will fill the soul of the priest with abundance, and His people will be satisfied with His goodness
六 那赶散以色列的招聚他们，又看守他们
F. He Who Scattered Israel Gathering Them and Keeping Them
11那赶散以色列的必招聚他们，又看守他们，像牧人看守羊群。（10。）
11He who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them, as a shepherd his flock (v. 10
七 以色列的晚局必有指望
G. There Being Hope for Israel's Latter End
12以色列的晚局必有指望，他们的儿女必回到他们的境界。（17。）八耶和华在地上创造一件新事
12There will be hope for Israel's latter end, that their children will return to their own border (v. 17). H. Jehovah Creating a New Thing in the Earth
13『以色列民哪，你当为自己设立指路碑，竖起路标柱；你要留心大路，就是你所去的路。你当回转，回转到你这些城邑。背道的民哪，你各处游荡要到几时呢？耶和华在地上创造了一件新事，就是女子护卫勇士。』（21～。）以色列人被带回来时，要发生一件新事：女子，较软弱的人，要护卫、帮助勇士。参以色列的复兴发生在
13"Set up road markers for yourself; / Make signposts for yourself; / Pay attention to the highway, / The way you went; / Return, O virgin of Israel; / Return to these cities of yours. / How long will you wander here and there, / O apostate daughter? / For Jehovah has created a new thing in the earth: / A female will encompass a mighty man " (vv. 21-22). When the children of Israel are brought back, something new 22 will happen. A female, a weaker one, will encompass, will help, a mighty man. III. THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL TAKING PLACE
耶和华以公平惩治
AFTER JEHOVAH'S CHASTISEMENT
以色列之后
OF ISRAEL WITH JUSTICE
14以色列的复兴要发生在耶和华以公平惩治（惩罚）以色列之后。（三十11下。）
14The restoration of Israel will take place after Jehovah's chastisement (punishment) of Israel with justice (30:11b
一 耶和华绝不能不罚他
A. Jehovah Not Leaving Him Unpunished
15耶和华绝不能不罚他。他的损伤无法医治，无人给他医治的药。（12～13。）耶和华因他的罪孽甚大，就用仇敌的击打，击打他；用残忍者的惩治，惩治他。（14～15。）凡毁灭他的必被毁灭，凡欺压他的，必被掳去。耶和华必使他痊愈，医好他的伤。（16～17。）
15Jehovah will not leave him unpunished. His hurt is incurable, and there are no healing medicines for him (vv. 12-13). Jehovah has struck him with the striking of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, because of the greatness of his iniquity (vv. 14-15). All those who consume him will be consumed, and every one of them will go into captivity. Jehovah will bring him recovery and will heal him of his wounds (vv. 16-17
二 以法莲悲叹
B. Ephraim Lamenting
16耶和华说，祂听见以法莲悲叹。以法莲悲叹，说，『你责罚了我，我便受责罚，像未驯的牛犊一样；求你使我回转，我便得复兴，因你是耶和华我的神。我回转以后，就懊悔；受教以后，就拍腿叹息。我因担当幼年的凌辱，就抱愧蒙羞。』（三一18～19。）
16Jehovah says that He has heard Ephraim lamenting. As Ephraim lamented, he said, "You have chastised me, and I was chastised, / Like an untrained calf; / Bring me back that I may be restored, / For You are Jehovah my God. / For after I turned back, I repented; / And after I was instructed, / I struck myself on the thigh. / I was ashamed and even confounded, / For I bear the reproach of my youth" (31:18-19
三 耶和华怜悯以法莲
C. Jehovah Having Mercy on Ephraim
17耶和华说，『以法莲是我宝贵的儿子么？是我喜悦的孩子么？』（20上。）然后祂说，祂每逢责备他，就更顾念他。祂必要怜悯他。（20下。）
17Jehovah asked, "Is Ephraim a precious son to Me? / Or a child of My good pleasure?" (v. 20a). Then He went on to say that as often as He has spoken against him, He will surely remember him more. He will surely have mercy on him (v. 20b
18肆耶和华使雅各被掳的帐棚归回，也必顾惜他的住处
18IV. JEHOVAH TURNING THE CAPTIVITY OF THE TENTS OF JACOB AND HAVING
COMPASSION ON HIS DWELLING PLACES
19耶和华必使雅各被掳的帐棚归回，也必顾惜他的住处。（三十18上。）
19Jehovah will turn the captivity of the tents of Jacob and will have compassion on his dwelling places (30:18a
一 城必重建在原旧的山冈，宫殿也必有人照旧居住
A. The City Being Rebuilt on Its Mound, and the Palace Being Inhabited after Its Own Manner
20城必重建在原旧的山冈，宫殿也必有人照旧居住。必有感谢和欢乐的声音，从其中发出。（18下～19上。）
20The city will be rebuilt on its mound, and the palace will be inhabited after its own manner. Out from them will come thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry (vv. 18b-19a).
二 耶路撒冷城必被建造归于耶和华
B. The City of Jerusalem Being Built unto Jehovah
21在三十一章三十八至四十节，耶和华宣告，日子将到，耶路撒冷城必被建造归于耶和华。
21In 31:38-40 Jehovah declares that days are coming when the city of Jerusalem will be built unto Jehovah
三 耶和华使被掳以色列人归回的时候，他们必说的话
C. The Word That Will Be Said When Jehovah Turns Again Israel's Captivity
22耶和华使被掳以色列人归回的时候，他们在犹大地和其中的城邑必说，『公义的居所阿，圣别的山哪，愿耶和华赐福给你。』（23。）这里公义的居所指耶路撒冷，圣别的山是指锡安山。犹大和属犹大城邑的人，农夫和同著羊群游牧的人，要一同住在其中。（24。）
22When Jehovah will turn again Israel's captivity, they will say in the land of Judah and in its cities, "Jehovah bless you, O habitation of righteousness, / O mountain of holiness" (v. 23). Here habitation of righteousness refers to Jerusalem, and mountain of holiness, to Mount Zion. Judah and all its cities will dwell together in it, the farmers and they who wander with the flocks (v. 24
四 耶和华使疲乏的人满足，使愁烦的人饱足
D. Jehovah Satisfying the Weary Soul and Filling Every Languishing Soul
23耶和华必使疲乏的人满足，使愁烦的人饱足。（25。）
23Jehovah will satisfy the weary soul and fill every languishing soul (v. 25
五 耶和华把人的种和牲畜的种，播种在以色列家
E. Jehovah Sowing the House of Israel with the Seed of Man and with the Seed of Beast
24耶和华要把人的种和牲畜的种，播种在以色列家。（27。）这指明一切的生活，要在生命上丰富。耶和华也说，祂先前怎样留意他们，为要拔出、拆毁、倾覆、毁坏、降灾，也必照样留意他们，为要建立、栽植。（28。）
24Jehovah will sow the house of Israel with the seed of man and with the seed of beast (v. 27). This indicates that the living of everything will be rich in life. Jehovah also said that as He has watched over them to pluck up, to break down, to overthrow, to destroy, and to bring evil, He will watch over them to build and to plant (v. 28
伍 耶和华使以色列增多
V. JEHOVAH MULTIPLYING ISRAEL
25耶和华要使以色列增多，不致减少；使他们尊荣，不致微小。（三十19下。）
25Jehovah will multiply Israel, so that they will not be few. He will cause them to be honored, so that they will not be small (30:19b
一 他们的儿女要如往日
A. Their Children Being as They Were of Old
26照著二十、二十一节，他们的儿女要如往日，他们的会众必坚立在耶和华面前。他们的首领，必是他们中的一个。掌权的必从他们中间而出。耶和华要使他就近，他也要亲近耶和华。
26According to verses 20 and 21, their children will be as they were of old, and their assembly will be established before Jehovah. Their leader will be one of them, and their ruler will come out of their midst. Jehovah will bring him near, and he will approach Him.
27这里耶和华说到一个首领，不是许多首领。若有一个以上的首领，就会有不同的意见，这些意见会引起分裂。照著神所命定的路，要有一个首领。因此，不会再有意见，不会再有分裂。
27Here Jehovah speaks of one leader, not of many leaders. If there were more than one leader, there would be different opinions, and these opinions would cause divisions. According to God's ordained way, there will be one leader. Thus, there will be no more opinion and no more division
二 以色列的后裔不致在耶和华面前断绝，永远不再成国
B. The Seed of Israel Not Ceasing from Being a Nation before Jehovah Forever
28耶利米三十一章三十五节说到耶和华是那使太阳在白日发光，使星月按定例在黑夜发亮，又搅动大海，使海中波浪匉訇的。在下一节耶和华说，『这些定例若能在我面前废掉，以色列的后裔也就在我面前断绝，永远不再成国。』然而，以色列的后裔不致在耶和华面前断绝，永远不再成国，正如太阳、星月、和海中波浪匉訇的定例不能废掉一样。在三十三章二十五、二十六节，也有类似的话。『耶和华如此说，若是我所立白日黑夜的约不能存住，若是我未曾建立天地的定例，我也就会弃绝雅各的后裔，和我仆人大卫的后裔，不使大卫的后裔治理亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的后裔；因为我必使他们被掳的人归回，也必怜恤他们。』两段都用同样的例证，指明从复兴的时候，就是要来的国度，以色列要永远存在。他们不致断绝，不再成国。
28Jeremiah 31:35 speaks of Jehovah as the One who gives the sun for light by day and the order of the moon and the stars for light by night and who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. In the next verse Jehovah says, "If this order departs / From before Me, declares Jehovah, / Then the seed of Israel will also cease / From being a nation before Me forever." However, the seed of Israel will not cease from being a nation before Jehovah forever, just as the ordinances of the sun, the moon and the stars, and the roaring of the waves of the sea will never depart. We have a similar word in 33:25 and 26. "Thus says Jehovah, If My covenant with respect to day and night does not stand, if I have not established the statutes of heaven and earth, then I will also reject the seed of Jacob and David My servant and will not take rulers from his seed to be over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will turn their captivity and will have compassion on them." Both portions use the same illustration to indicate that from the time of restoration, that is, the coming millennium, Israel will exist forever. They will not cease from being a nation
三 耶和华不会因以色列后裔一切所行的弃绝他们
C. Jehovah Not Casting Off All the Seed of Israel for All They Have Done
29耶利米三十一章三十七节是保证的话，耶和华不会因以色列后裔一切所行的弃绝他们。『耶和华如此说，诸天若能量度，地底的根基若能寻察，我也就因以色列后裔一切所行的弃绝他们。』这节指明他们的后裔绝不会断绝。
29Jeremiah 31:37 is a word of assurance that Jehovah will not cast off all the seed of Israel for all they have done. "Thus says Jehovah, / If the heavens above can be measured, / And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully, / Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel / For all they have done." This verse indicates that their descendants will never be cut off
陆 必有一大日，
VI. THERE BEING A GREAT DAY
就是以色列艰难的时候
A TIME OF DISTRESS, FOR ISRAEL
30耶利米三十章五至八节启示，必有一大日，就是以色列艰难的时候。
30Jeremiah 30:5-8 reveals that there will be a great day, a time of distress, for Israel
一三 年半大灾难的时候
A. The Time of the Great Tribulation for Three and a Half Years
31七节上半说，『哀哉，那日为大，无日可比；这是雅各艰难的时候。』这大日，这艰难的时候，就是三年半大灾难的时候。（太二四21，但十二7下，启十三5，7上。）耶利米三十章题到今世末三年半时的大灾难。
31Verse 7a says, "Alas! For that day is great, / And there is none like it; / And it is a time of distress for Jacob." This great day, this time of distress, is the time of the great tribulation for three and a half years (Matt. 24:21; Dan. 12:7b; Rev. 13:5, 7a). Jeremiah 30 refers to the great tribulation during the last three and a half years of this age.
二 以色列被救出来
B. Israel Being Saved out of It
32耶利米三十章七节下半告诉我们，以色列必从这大灾难中被救出来。（但十二1。）
32Jeremiah 30:7b tells us that Israel will be saved out of this great tribulation (Dan. 12:1
三 耶和华从以色列颈项上折断她的轭，扭开她的绳索
C. Jehovah Breaking Israel's Yoke from upon Her Neck and Tearing Off Her Bonds
33在耶利米三十章八节耶和华应许，到那日，耶和华必从以色列颈项上折断她的轭，扭开她的绳索，外人必不得再使她服事他们。
33In Jeremiah 30:8 Jehovah promised that, in that day, He will break the yoke from upon Israel's neck and tear off her bonds. The strangers will no longer make her serve them
