“ I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals; you will be disgraced no more.

那些属你、为无大会愁烦、因你担当羞辱的，我必聚集他们。

我要聚集那些因无节期而愁烦的人，他们曾远离你，是你的重担和羞辱。

「我必招聚你那裡因不能守節期而憂愁的人，使你不再蒙受羞辱。

“那些屬你，為了切慕大會而憂愁的人，他們擔當了羞辱；我必招聚他們。

像在制定節期的日子一樣。我必撿起災禍、使它離開你；我必舉起羞辱、使它遠離你。

為大會而憂者、我將集之、彼原屬爾、以爾之辱為重負也、

爾中有人、見郇邑被辱、不能守節期、憂心戚戚、若斯之人、我必撫集之、

不得赴節筵而憂者、我必集之、彼乃屬爾者也、彼乃屬爾者也或作彼昔自爾而出彼因郇邑蒙羞、視若重擔、視若重擔或作如負重擔

“ I will remove from you all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals, which is a burden and reproach for you.

The Lord says to his people,“ You used to celebrate my appointed feasts in Jerusalem. You are sad because you can’t do that anymore. Other people make fun of you because of that. That sadness was a heavy load for you to carry. But I will remove that load from you.

I will gather those of you who mourn for the festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.

I will gather those who have been driven from the appointed festivals; they will be a tribute from you and a reproach on her.

I will gather those who are worried about the appointed feasts— They came from you, Zion; The disgrace of exile is a burden on them.

“ I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden.

I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee; to whom the burden upon her was a reproach.

I will gather those who have been driven from the appointed festivals; they will be a tribute from you and a reproach on her.

I will gather[ them that are] sorrowful for the solemn assembly,[ who] are of thee,[ to whom] the reproach of it[ was] a burden.

“ As for those who grieve because they cannot attend the festivals– I took them away from you; they became tribute and were a source of shame to you.

I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.

I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,“ Where is this God of yours?”My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration!

The roads to Jerusalem are in mourning, for crowds no longer come to celebrate the festivals. The city gates are silent, her priests groan, her young women are crying— how bitter is her fate!

For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land.

He has broken down his Temple as though it were merely a garden shelter. The Lord has blotted out all memory of the holy festivals and Sabbath days. Kings and priests fall together before his fierce anger.The Lord has rejected his own altar; he despises his own sanctuary. He has given Jerusalem’s palaces to her enemies. They shout in the Lord’s Temple as though it were a day of celebration.

What then will you do on festival days? How will you observe the Lord’s festivals?

I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say,“ The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.

But I will gather together the remnant of my flock from the countries where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their own sheepfold, and they will be fruitful and increase in number.

For I will bring them from the north and from the distant corners of the earth. I will not forget the blind and lame, the expectant mothers and women in labor. A great company will return!Tears of joy will stream down their faces, and I will lead them home with great care. They will walk beside quiet streams and on smooth paths where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is my oldest child.

On that day I will gather you together and bring you home again. I will give you a good name, a name of distinction, among all the nations of the earth, as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

In the midst of her sadness and wandering, Jerusalem remembers her ancient splendor. But now she has fallen to her enemy, and there is no one to help her. Her enemy struck her down and laughed as she fell.

O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies.I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God.

For our captors demanded a song from us. Our tormentors insisted on a joyful hymn:“ Sing us one of those songs of Jerusalem!”But how can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a pagan land?If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget how to play the harp.May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I fail to remember you, if I don’t make Jerusalem my greatest joy.

Then the people of Judah and Israel will unite together. They will choose one leader for themselves, and they will return from exile together. What a day that will be— the day of Jezreel— when God will again plant his people in his land.

Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.

I will bring them back home to their own land of Israel from among the peoples and nations. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel and by the rivers and in all the places where people live.
