Јеремија 31

1“At that time—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they will be my people.” 2Yahweh says this, 3Yahweh appeared to me in the past and said, “I have loved you, Israel, with everlasting love. 4I will build you up again so you will be built, virgin Israel. 5You will plant vineyards again on the mountains of Samaria; the farmers will plant and put the fruit to good use. 6For a day will come when the watchmen in the mountains of Ephraim will proclaim, 7For Yahweh says this, “Shout for joy over Jacob! Shout in gladness for the chief people of the nations! Let praise be heard. Say, 'Yahweh has rescued his people, the remnant of Israel.' 8See, I am about to bring them from the northern lands. I will gather them from the farthest parts of the earth. 9They will come weeping; I will lead them as they make their pleas. I will have them journey to streams of water 10“Hear the word of Yahweh, nations. Report along the coasts in the distance. 11For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob and has redeemed him from the hand that was too strong for him. 12Then they will come and rejoice on the heights of Zion. Their faces will shine because of Yahweh's goodness, 13Then virgins will rejoice with dancing, and young and old men will be together. 14Then I will saturate the lives of the priests in abundance. 15Yahweh says this: “A voice is heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter weeping. 16Yahweh says this, “Hold your voice back from weeping and your eyes from tears; 17There is hope for your future—this is Yahweh's declaration—your descendants will return inside their borders.” 18“I have certainly heard Ephraim sorrowing, 'You punished me, and I have been punished like an untrained calf. 19For after I turned back to you, I was sorry; after I was trained, I slapped my thigh. 20Is not Ephraim my precious child? Is he not my dear, delightful son? 21Place road signs for yourself. Set up guideposts for yourself. Set your mind on the right path, 22How long will you waver, faithless daughter? 23Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this, “When I bring back the people to their land, they will say this in the land of Judah and its cities, 'May Yahweh bless you, you righteous place where he lives, you holy mountain.' 24For Judah and all its cities will live together there, as will farmers and those who set out with flocks. 25For I will cause those who are weary to drink, and I fill up those who are faint.” 26After this I awoke, and I realized that my sleep had been refreshing. 27“Look, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will sow the houses of Israel and Judah with the descendants of man and beast. 28In the past, I kept them under surveillance in order to uproot them and to tear them down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring them harm. But in the coming days, I will watch over them, in order to build them up and to plant them—this is Yahweh's declaration. 29In those days no one will say any longer, 30For each man will die in his own iniquity; everyone who eats sour grapes, his teeth will be dulled. 31Look, the days are coming 32It will not be like the covenant 33This is the covenant 34Then each man will no longer teach his neighbor, 35Yahweh says this, 36“Only if these permanent things vanish from my sight—this is Yahweh's declaration— 37Yahweh says this, “Only if the highest heavens can be measured, 38“Look, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when the city will be rebuilt for me, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39Then the measuring line will go out again farther, to the hill of Gareb and around Goah.
