Jeremiah 17
1 The sinne of Iudah is written with a pen of yron, and with the poynt of a diamonde, and grauen vpon the table of their heart, and vpon the hornes of your altars.
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 They remember their altars as their children, with their groues by the greene trees vpon the hilles.
他們的兒女記念他們高岡上、青翠樹旁的壇和木偶。
3 O my mountaine in the fielde, I will giue thy substance, and all thy treasures to be spoyled, for the sinne of thy high places throughout all thy borders.
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 shalt rest, and in thee shall be a rest from thine heritage that I gaue thee, and I will cause thee to serue thine enemies in the land, which thou knowest not: for yee haue kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burne for euer.
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 Thus saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arme, and withdraweth his heart from 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 shall be like the heath in the wildernesse, and shall not see when any good commeth, but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernesse, in a salt land, and not inhabited.
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 Blessed be the man, that trusteth in ye Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
倚靠耶和華、以耶和華為可靠的， 那人有福了！
8 For he shall be as a tree that is planted by the water, which spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not feele when the heate commeth, but her leafe shall be greene, and shall not care for the yeere of drought, neyther shall cease from yeelding fruit.
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 heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can knowe it?
人心比萬物都詭詐， 壞到極處， 誰能識透呢？
10 I the Lord search the heart, and try ye reines, euen to giue euery man according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes.
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 As the partryche gathereth the yong, which she hath not brought forth: so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leaue them in the middes of his dayes, and at his ende shall bee a foole.
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 As a glorious throne exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuarie.
我們的聖所是榮耀的寶座， 從太初安置在高處。
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee, shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shalbe written in the earth, because they haue forsaken the Lord, the fountaine of liuing waters.
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 Heale me, O Lord, and I shall bee whole: saue me, and I shall bee saued: for thou art my prayse.
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 Behold, they say vnto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come nowe.
他們對我說：耶和華的話在哪裏呢？ 叫這話應驗吧！
16 But I haue not thrust in my selfe for a pastour after thee, neither haue I desired the day of miserie, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips, was right before thee.
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 not terrible vnto mee: thou art mine hope in the day of aduersitie.
不要使我因你驚恐； 當災禍的日子，你是我的避難所。
18 Let them bee confounded, that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be afraide, but let not me be afraide: bring vpon them the day of aduersitie, and destroy them with double destruction.
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 Thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Goe and stande in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the Kings of Iudah come in, and by the which they goe out, and in all ye gates of Ierusalem,
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 say vnto them, Heare the word of the Lord, ye Kings of Iudah, and al Iudah, and all the inhabitants of Ierusale, that enter in by these gates.
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 Thus sayth the Lord, Take heede to your soules, and beare no burden in the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Ierusalem.
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 Neither cary foorth burdens out of your houses in the Sabbath day: neither doe yee any worke, but sanctifie the Sabbath, as I commanded your fathers.
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 But they obeied not, neither inclined their eares, but made their neckes stiffe and would not heare, nor receiue correction.
他們卻不聽從，不側耳而聽，竟硬着頸項不聽，不受教訓。」
24 Neuerthelesse if ye will heare me, sayth the Lord, and beare no burden through the gates of the citie in the Sabbath day, but sanctifie ye Sabbath day, so that ye do no worke therein,
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 Then shall the Kings and the princes enter in at the gates of this citie, and shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and shall ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both they and their princes, the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem: and this citie shall remaine for euer.
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 they shall come from the cities of Iudah, and from about Ierusalem, and from the land of Beniamin, and from the plaine, and from the mountaines, and from the South, which shall bring burnt offrings, and sacrifices, and meate offrings, and incense, and shall bring sacrifice of prayse into the house 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 But if ye will not heare me to sanctifie the Sabbath day, and not to beare a burden nor to go through the gates of Ierusalem in the Sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
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。」
