耶利米书 17
1 犹大的罪是用铁笔、用金钢钻记录的，铭刻在他们的心版上和坛角上。
Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and will lean his arm of flesh upon him, while his heart departs from the Lord.
2 他们的儿女记念他们高冈上、青翠树旁的坛和木偶。
3 我田野的山哪，我必因你在四境之内所犯的罪，把你的货物、财宝，并邱坛当掠物交给仇敌；
4 并且你因自己的罪必失去我所赐给你的产业。我也必使你在你所不认识的地上服事你的仇敌；因为你使我怒中起火，直烧到永远。
5 耶和华如此说： 倚靠人血肉的膀臂， 心中离弃耶和华的， 那人有祸了！
6 因他必像沙漠的杜松， 不见福乐来到， 却要住旷野干旱之处， 无人居住的硷地。
And he shall be as the wild tamarisk in the desert: he shall not see when good comes; but he shall dwell in barren [places], and in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
7 倚靠耶和华、以耶和华为可靠的， 那人有福了！
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord shall be.
8 他必像树栽于水旁， 在河边扎根， 炎热来到，并不惧怕， 叶子仍必青翠， 在干旱之年毫无挂虑， 而且结果不止。
And he shall be as a thriving tree by the waters, and he shall cast forth his root towards a moist place: he shall not fear when heat comes, and there shall be upon him shady branches: he shall not fear in a year of drought, and he shall not fail to bear fruit.
9 人心比万物都诡诈， 坏到极处， 谁能识透呢？
The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?
10 我—耶和华是鉴察人心、试验人肺腑的， 要照各人所行的和他做事的结果报应他。
I the Lord try the hearts, and prove the reins, to give to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his devices.
11 那不按正道得财的， 好像鹧鸪抱不是自己下的蛋； 到了中年，那财都必离开他， 他终久成为愚顽人。
The partridge utters her voice, she gathers [eggs] which she did not lay; [so is a man] gaining his wealth unjustly; in the midst of his days [his riches] shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.
12 我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座， 从太初安置在高处。
An exalted throne of glory is our sanctuary.
13 耶和华—以色列的盼望啊， 凡离弃你的必致蒙羞。 耶和华说：离开我的， 他们的名字必写在土里， 因为他们离弃我这活水的泉源。
O Lord, the hope of Israel, let all that have left you be ashamed, let them that have revolted be written on the earth, because they have forsaken the fountain of life, the Lord.
14 耶和华啊，求你医治我，我便痊愈， 拯救我，我便得救； 因你是我所赞美的。
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my boast.
15 他们对我说：耶和华的话在哪里呢？ 叫这话应验吧！
Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come.
16 至于我，那跟从你作牧人的职分， 我并没有急忙离弃， 也没有想那灾殃的日子； 这是你知道的。 我口中所出的言语都在你面前。
But I have not been weary of following you, nor have I desired the day of man; you know; the [words] that proceed out of my lips are before your face.
17 不要使我因你惊恐； 当灾祸的日子，你是我的避难所。
Be not to me a stranger, [but] spare me in the evil day.
18 愿那些逼迫我的蒙羞， 却不要使我蒙羞； 使他们惊惶， 却不要使我惊惶； 使灾祸的日子临到他们， 以加倍的毁坏毁坏他们。
Let them that persecute me be ashamed, but let me not be ashamed: let them be alarmed, but let me not be alarmed: bring upon them the evil day, crush them with double destruction.
19 耶和华对我如此说：“你去站在平民的门口，就是犹大君王出入的门，又站在耶路撒冷的各门口，
Thus says the Lord; Go and stand in the gates of the children of your people, by which the kings of Juda enter, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem:
20 对他们说：‘你们这犹大君王和犹大众人，并耶路撒冷的一切居民，凡从这些门进入的都当听耶和华的话。
and you shall say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Juda, and all Judea, and all Jerusalem, [all] who go in at these gates:
21 耶和华如此说：你们要谨慎，不要在安息日担什么担子进入耶路撒冷的各门；
thus says the Lord; Take heed to your souls, and take up no burdens on the sabbath-day, and go not forth [through] the gates of Jerusalem;
22 也不要在安息日从家中担出担子去。无论何工都不可做，只要以安息日为圣日，正如我所吩咐你们列祖的。’
and carry forth no burdens out of your houses on the sabbath-day, and you shall do no work: sanctify the sabbath-day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项不听，不受教训。”
But they listened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers [did], so as not to hear me, and not to receive correction.
24 耶和华说：“你们若留意听从我，在安息日不担什么担子进入这城的各门，只以安息日为圣日，在那日无论何工都不做；
And it shall come to pass, if you will listen to me, says the Lord, to carry in no burdens through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, and to sanctify the sabbath-day, so as to do no work [upon it],
25 那时就有坐大卫宝座的君王和首领，他们与犹大人，并耶路撒冷的居民，或坐车，或骑马，进入这城的各门，而且这城必存到永远。
that there shall enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, and riding on their chariots and horses, they, and their princes, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
26 也必有人从犹大城邑和耶路撒冷四围的各处，从便雅悯地、高原、山地，并南地而来，都带燔祭、平安祭、素祭，和乳香，并感谢祭，到耶和华的殿去。
And [men] shall come out of the cities of Juda, and from round about Jerusalem, and out of the land of Benjamin, and out of the plain country, and from the hill country, and from the south [country], bringing whole burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and incense, and manna, and frankincense, bringing praise to the house of the Lord.
27 你们若不听从我，不以安息日为圣日，仍在安息日担担子，进入耶路撒冷的各门，我必在各门中点火；这火也必烧毁耶路撒冷的宫殿，不能熄灭。”
But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to me to sanctify the sabbath-day, to bear no burdens, nor go in [with them by] the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the streets of Jerusalem, and shall not be quenched.
