巴路克 Baruch
1耶路撒冷!請你脫去你居喪悲傷的衣裳,永遠穿上天主光榮的華服, 1Jerusalem, take off your robe of mourning and misery; put on the splendor of glory from God forever:
2披上天主正義的披肩,在你頭上戴上永生者光榮的冠冕, 2Wrapped in the cloak of justice from God, bear on your head the mitre that displays the glory of the eternal name.
3因為天主要對天下萬邦顯示你的榮耀, 3For God will show all the earth your splendor:
4給你起名永遠叫「正義的和平」,和「虔敬的光榮。」 4you will be named by God forever the peace of justice, the glory of God's worship.
5耶路撒冷!請你起來,站在高處,向東遠眺,看,你的子女奉聖者的命,由西方至東方集合,喜慶天主終於想起了他們。 5Up, Jerusalem! stand upon the heights; look to the east and see your children Gathered from the east and the west at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing that they are remembered by God.
6他們離你遠去,由仇人押送步行;如今天主卻將他們給你再領回來;他們體面光榮,被人抬回,好像皇子一樣; 6Led away on foot by their enemies they left you: but God will bring them back to you borne aloft in glory as on royal thrones.
7因為天主已命令夷平一切的高山和永恒的丘陵,填平所有的山谷,使它們化為平地,好讓以色列在天主的光榮下平安前行; 7For God has commanded that every lofty mountain be made low, And that the age-old depths and gorges be filled to level ground, that Israel may advance secure in the glory of God.
8森林和一切香樹要依照天主的命令,給以色列散佈蔭涼; 8The forests and every fragrant kind of tree have overshadowed Israel at God's command;
9因為天主要在喜樂中,以自己本有的仁慈和正義,在自己榮耀的光輝下,親自領回以色列。」 9For God is leading Israel in joy by the light of his glory, with his mercy and justice for company.
