Jeremiah 30:1
繁體中文
영문 원문
In Jeremiah 30-39, not all written at the same time, are gathered together whatsoever God had revealed to Jeremiah of happier import for the Jewish people. This subject is "the New covenant." In contrast then with the rolls of Jehoiakim and Zedekiah, we here have one containing the nation's hope. A considerable portion was written in the 10th year of Zedekiah, when famine and pestilence were busy in the city, its capture daily more imminent, and the prophet himself in prison. Yet in this sad pressure of earthly troubles Jeremiah could bid his countrymen look courageously onward to the fulfillment of those hopes, which had so constantly in his darkest hours comforted the heart and nerved the arm of the Jew. The scroll consists of three portions:
(1) "a triumphal hymn of Israel's salvation," Jeremiah 30-31;
(2) Jeremiah 32; and
(3) Jeremiah 33.

Jeremiah 30:2
繁體中文
「寫在書上」——為要讓百姓私下閱讀、默想。這就使我們極有理由推斷,這兩章的日期也是在西底家十年,即從哈拿篾手中買下那塊地之後不久。
「一切話」——意即這書卷要成為先前預言中所含一切盼望與憐憫的摘要。
영문 원문
Write ... in a book - To be read and meditated upon by them in private. This makes it exceedingly probable that the date of these two chapters was also the 10th year of Zedekiah, immediately after the purchase of the field from Hanameel.
All the words - i. e., the scroll was to be a summary of whatever of hope and mercy had been contained in previous predictions.

Jeremiah 30:5
繁體中文
以邊註的譯法為佳。先知把聽眾置於巴比倫的中心,描繪當古列的大軍逼近時,全城因恐懼而震顫。「戰兢之聲」是前進軍隊的吶喊;而「懼怕」「沒有平安」則暗示,連被擄之人中間,眼看他們長久居住之城將要被毀,也只剩驚惶。
영문 원문
Better, as in the margin. The prophet places his hearers in the center of Babylon, and describes it as convulsed with terror as the armies of Cyrus draw near. The voice of trembling is the war-cry of the advancing host: while fear and no peace implies that even among the exiles there is only alarm at the prospect of the city, where they had so long dwelt, being destroyed.
7
Jeremiah 30:7
繁體中文
「那日」——即巴比倫被攻陷之日。
「這正是雅各遭難的時候」——更佳的譯法是:「這乃是雅各遭難的時候」,意即對猶太人而言乃是惶恐不安之時,因為當時戰爭的慣例極其殘暴,敵人發動攻擊時他們也必身處危險之中。
영문 원문
That day - i. e., the day of the capture of Babylon.
It is even the time of Jacob's trouble - Rather, and it is a time of trouble to Jacob, i. e., of anxiety to the Jews, for the usages of war were so brutal that they would be in danger when the enemy made their assault.

Jeremiah 30:8
繁體中文
「繩索」——見 Jeremiah 27:2 註釋。
「不再使他作奴僕」——意即不再向他強徵苦役(Jeremiah 22:13)。

Bonds - See Jeremiah 27:2 note.
Shall no more serve themselves - i. e., shall no more exact forced labor of him Jeremiah 22:13.

Jeremiah 30:9

「他們的王大衛」——見 Jeremiah 23:5-6;即指彌賽亞。
영문 원문
David their king - See Jeremiah 23:5-6; i. e., Messiah.
10
Jeremiah 30:10
繁體中文
有人認為這兩節的風格與以賽亞書最後二十七章十分相似。然而,外邦人必被徹底滅絕、以色列卻決不致如此滅亡的確定性,兩者之間的對比,正是耶利米最常見的主題之一。
영문 원문
These two verses are considered by some very similar in style to the last 27 chapters of Isaiah. The contrast, however, between the full end made with the pagan, and the certainty that Israel shall never so perish, is one of Jeremiah's most common topics.

That thou mayest be bound up - Others put a stop after "cause," and translate, For binding thy wound, healing plaster thou hast none.
14
Jeremiah 30:14
繁體中文
「因……眾多」——或作:
因你的罪孽眾多, 因你的罪惡重大。
猶大的「情人」是指那些一度尋求與她結盟的列國(見 Jeremiah 22:20; Jeremiah 27:3)。
영문 원문
For the multitude ... - Or,
Because of the multitude of thine iniquity,
Because thy sins are strong.
Judah's lovers are the nations which once sought her alliance (see Jeremiah 22:20; Jeremiah 27:3).
15
Jeremiah 30:15
繁體中文
當譯作:
你因你的毀壞為何哀求? 你的疼痛重大嗎? 因你的罪孽眾多, 因你的罪惡強大, 我已將這些事行在你身上。
영문 원문

Why criest thou because of thy breaking?
Because thy pain is grievous?
Because of the multitude of thine iniquity,
Because thy sins are strong,
I have done these things unto thee.
16

繁體中文
「所以」——即因為你已受了刑罰,並在自覺罪疚之中呼求。

17
Jeremiah 30:17

「使你痊癒」——或作「敷上繃帶」(Jeremiah 8:22 註釋)。「因他們稱呼你」當讀作「他們稱呼你」。
영문 원문
Restore health - Or, "apply a bandage" (Jeremiah 8:22 note). For they called read "they call."
18
Jeremiah 30:18
繁體中文
先知以猶大為教會的預表,以以馬內利為她的君王。
耶利米書 30:18
「帳棚」——這詞暗示百姓中相當一部分人仍是遊牧民。
「城……宮殿」——或作「各城……各宮殿」。「土墩」指人工堆成的土岡,用以使城免於水患,並加強堡壘的防禦。
「仍照舊居住」——宜作「必按其權利有人居住」,即合宜地居住。
영문 원문
The prophet speaks of Judah as the type of the Church, with Immanuel as her king.
Jeremiah 30:18
tents - The word suggests that a considerable portion of the people were still nomads.
The city ... the palace - Or, each city ... each palace. The heap means an artificial mount to keep the city out of the reach of inundations, and to increase the strength of the fortifications.
Shall remain after the manner thereof - Rather, shall be inhabited according to its rights, i. e., suitably.
19
Jeremiah 30:19
繁體中文
「他們」——指城與宮殿。末後的話當譯作「變為稀少,變為卑微」,即被藐視、被輕看。
영문 원문

21
Jeremiah 30:21
繁體中文
當譯作:「他的尊者必出於他自己,他的掌權者必從他中間出來……是誰冒死奮勇——即以性命作保——就近我呢?」即「彌賽亞必從他們自己中間向他們顯現」。祂能無懼死亡地親近神,因為祂本有神的形像,且自己就是神,能宣稱與神同等(Philippians 2:6)。
영문 원문
Translate, And his glorious one shall spring from himself, and his ruler shall go forth from his midst ... who is this that hath pledged his heart, i. e., hath staked his life, to dealt near unto Me? i. e., "Messiah shall be revealed to them out of their own midst." He can draw near unto God without fear of death, because being in the form of God, and Himself God, He can claim equality with God Philippians 2:6.
22
Jeremiah 30:22
繁體中文
這是彌賽亞職事的果效。人若要成為神的子民,必須先有一位從他們中間出來的人被顯明——祂是人,卻因又是神而能親近神,因而能在隔開有限者與無限者的深淵上架起橋樑。
영문 원문
This is the effect of Messiah's ministry. Men cannot become God's people, until there has been revealed one of themselves, a man, who can approach unto God, as being also God, and so can bridge over the gulf which separates the finite from the Infinite.
23
Jeremiah 30:23
繁體中文
比較旁註參照。這幾節更宜附於下一章,因為它們是該章合適的引言。
영문 원문
Compare the marginal reference. These verses would more appropriately be attached to the next chapter, for which they form a suitable introduction.
Jeremiah 30-39(並非全都寫於同一時間)彙集了神向耶利米所啟示、對猶太人具有更美意義的一切信息。這主題就是「新約」。因此,與約雅敬和西底家的書卷相對照,我們在此有一卷載著全國盼望的書。其中相當一部分寫於西底家在位第十年,那時饑荒和瘟疫正在城中肆虐,城被攻陷之日日益逼近,先知本人也在獄中。然而,在屬世苦難如此愁慘的重壓之下,耶利米仍能囑咐同胞勇敢前瞻這些盼望的實現——這些盼望在他最黑暗的時刻,一直安慰著猶太人的心,堅固著他的手。這書卷由三部分組成:
(1) 「以色列救恩的凱旋頌歌」(Jeremiah 30-31);
(2) Jeremiah 32;以及
(3) Jeremiah 33。
