Jeremiah 17
1 The synne of Juda is writun with an irone poyntel, in a nail of adamaunt; it is writun on the breede of the herte of hem, and in the hornes of the auteris of hem.
猶大的罪是用鐵筆、用金鋼鑽記錄的，銘刻在他們的心版上和壇角上。
2 Whanne the sones of hem bithenken on her auteris, and woodis, and on the trees ful of boowis, makynge sacrifice in the feld in hiye munteyns,
他們的兒女記念他們高岡上、青翠樹旁的壇和木偶。
3 Y schal yyue thi strengthe and alle thi tresouris in to rauyschyng, thin hiye thingis for synnes in alle thin endis.
我田野的山哪，我必因你在四境之內所犯的罪，把你的貨物、財寶，並邱壇當掠物交給仇敵；
4 And thou schalt be left aloone fro thin eritage which Y yaf to thee; and Y schal make thee to serue thin enemyes, in the lond which thou knowist not; for thou hast kyndlid fier in my strong veniaunce, it schal brenne til in to with outen ende.
並且你因自己的罪必失去我所賜給你的產業。我也必使你在你所不認識的地上服事你的仇敵；因為你使我怒中起火，直燒到永遠。
5 The Lord seith these thingis, Cursid is the man that trestith in man, and settith fleisch his arm, and his herte goith awei fro the Lord.
耶和華如此說： 倚靠人血肉的膀臂， 心中離棄耶和華的， 那人有禍了！
6 For he schal be as bromes in desert, and he schal not se, whanne good schal come; but he schal dwelle in drynesse in desert, in the lond of saltnesse, and vnabitable.
因他必像沙漠的杜松， 不見福樂來到， 卻要住曠野乾旱之處， 無人居住的鹼地。
7 Blessid is the man that tristith in the Lord, and the Lord schal be his trist.
倚靠耶和華、以耶和華為可靠的， 那人有福了！
8 And he schal be as a tre, which is plauntid ouer watris, which sendith hise rootis to moisture; and it schal not drede, whanne heete schal come; and the leef therof schal be greene, and it schal not be moued in the tyme of drynesse, nether ony tyme it schal faile to make fruyte.
他必像樹栽於水旁， 在河邊扎根， 炎熱來到，並不懼怕， 葉子仍必青翠， 在乾旱之年毫無掛慮， 而且結果不止。
9 The herte of man is schrewid, and `may not be souyt; who schal knowe it?
人心比萬物都詭詐， 壞到極處， 誰能識透呢？
10 Y am the Lord sekynge the herte, and preuynge the reynes, and Y yyue to ech man after his weye, and aftir the fruyt of his fyndyngis.
我－耶和華是鑒察人心、試驗人肺腑的， 要照各人所行的和他做事的結果報應他。
11 A partriche nurschide tho thingis whiche sche bredde not; he made richessis, and not in doom; in the myddis of hise daies he schal forsake tho, and in hise laste tyme he schal be vnwijs.
那不按正道得財的， 好像鷓鴣菢不是自己下的蛋； 到了中年，那財都必離開他， 他終久成為愚頑人。
12 The seete of glorie of hiynesse was at the bigynnyng the place of oure halewyng, the abidyng of Israel.
我們的聖所是榮耀的寶座， 從太初安置在高處。
13 Lord, alle thei that forsaken thee, schulen be schent; thei that goen aweie fro thee, schulen be writun in erthe, for thei han forsake the Lord, a veyne of quyk watirs.
耶和華－以色列的盼望啊， 凡離棄你的必致蒙羞。 耶和華說：離開我的， 他們的名字必寫在土裏， 因為他們離棄我這活水的泉源。
14 Lord, heele thou me, and Y schal be heelid; make thou me saaf, and Y schal be saaf; for thou art myn heriyng.
耶和華啊，求你醫治我，我便痊癒， 拯救我，我便得救； 因你是我所讚美的。
15 Lo! thei seien to me, Where is the word of the Lord? come it.
他們對我說：耶和華的話在哪裏呢？ 叫這話應驗吧！
16 And Y am not disturblid, suynge thee scheepherd, and Y desiride not the dai of man, thou woost. That that yede out of my lippis was riytful in thi siyt.
至於我，那跟從你作牧人的職分， 我並沒有急忙離棄， 也沒有想那災殃的日子； 這是你知道的。 我口中所出的言語都在你面前。
17 Be thou not to drede to me; thou art myn hope in the dai of turment.
不要使我因你驚恐； 當災禍的日子，你是我的避難所。
18 Be thei schent, that pursuen me, and be Y not schent; drede thei, and drede not Y; brynge in on hem a dai of turment, and defoule thou hem bi double defouling.
願那些逼迫我的蒙羞， 卻不要使我蒙羞； 使他們驚惶， 卻不要使我驚惶； 使災禍的日子臨到他們， 以加倍的毀壞毀壞他們。
19 The Lord seith these thingis to me, Go thou, and stonde in the yate of the sones of the puple, bi whiche the kingis of Juda entren and goen out, and in alle the yatis of Jerusalem.
耶和華對我如此說：「你去站在平民的門口，就是猶大君王出入的門，又站在耶路撒冷的各門口，
20 And thou schalt seie to hem, Here the word of the Lord, ye kingis of Juda, and al Judee, and alle the dwelleris of Jerusalem, that entren bi these yatis.
對他們說：『你們這猶大君王和猶大眾人，並耶路撒冷的一切居民，凡從這些門進入的都當聽耶和華的話。
21 The Lord God seith these thingis, Kepe ye youre soulis, and nyle ye bere birthuns in the dai of sabat, nether bringe in bi the yatis of Jerusalem.
耶和華如此說：你們要謹慎，不要在安息日擔甚麼擔子進入耶路撒冷的各門；
22 And nyle ye caste birthuns out of youre housis in the dai of sabat, and ye schulen not do ony werk; halewe ye the dai of sabat, as Y comaundide to youre fadris.
也不要在安息日從家中擔出擔子去。無論何工都不可做，只要以安息日為聖日，正如我所吩咐你們列祖的。』
23 And thei herden not, nether bowiden doun her eere, but thei maden hard her nol, that thei schulden not here me, and that thei schulden not take chastisyng.
他們卻不聽從，不側耳而聽，竟硬着頸項不聽，不受教訓。」
24 And it schal be, if ye heren me, seith the Lord, that ye bere not in birthuns bi the yatis of this citee in the dai of sabat, and if ye halewen the dai of sabat, that ye do not werk ther ynne,
耶和華說：「你們若留意聽從我，在安息日不擔甚麼擔子進入這城的各門，只以安息日為聖日，在那日無論何工都不做；
25 kingis and princes sittynge on the seete of Dauid schulen entre bi the yatis of this citee, and stiynge in charis and horsis; thei, and the princis of hem, the men of Juda, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem; and this citee schal be enhabitid withouten ende.
那時就有坐大衛寶座的君王和首領，他們與猶大人，並耶路撒冷的居民，或坐車，或騎馬，進入這城的各門，而且這城必存到永遠。
26 And thei schulen come fro the citees of Juda, and fro the cumpas of Jerusalem, and fro the lond of Beniamyn, and fro feeldi places, and fro hilli places, and fro the south, beringe brent sacrifice, and slayn sacrifice, and encense; and thei schulen bringe offring in to the hous of the Lord.
也必有人從猶大城邑和耶路撒冷四圍的各處，從便雅憫地、高原、山地，並南地而來，都帶燔祭、平安祭、素祭，和乳香，並感謝祭，到耶和華的殿去。
27 Forsothe if ye heren not me, that ye halewe the dai of sabat, and that ye bere not a birthun, and that ye bringe not in bi the yatis of Jerusalem in the dai of sabat, Y schal kyndle fier in the yatis therof; and it schal deuoure the housis of Jerusalem, and it schal not be quenchid.
你們若不聽從我，不以安息日為聖日，仍在安息日擔擔子，進入耶路撒冷的各門，我必在各門中點火；這火也必燒毀耶路撒冷的宮殿，不能熄滅。」
