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。
The sin of Juda is written with a pen of iron, with the point of a diamond, it is graven upon the table of their heart, upon the horns of their altars.
2 他们的儿女记念他们高冈上、青翠树旁的坛和木偶。
When their children shall remember their altars, and their groves, and their green trees upon high mountains,
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；
Sacrificing in the field: I will give thy strength, and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
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。
And thou shalt be left stripped of thy inheritance, which I gave thee: and I will make thee serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not: because thou hast kindled a fire in my wrath, it shall burn for ever.
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！
Thus saith the Lord: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
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。
For he shall be like tamaric in the desert, and he shall not see when good shall come: but he shall dwell in dryness in the desert in a salt land, and not inhabited.
7 倚靠耶和华、以耶和华为可靠的， 那人有福了！
Blessed be the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord shall be his confidence.
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 tree that is planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots towards moisture: and it shall not fear when the heat cometh. And the leaf thereof shall be green, and in the time of drought it shall not be solicitous, neither shall it cease at any time to bring forth fruit.
9 人心比万物都诡诈， 坏到极处， 谁能识透呢？
The heart is perverse above all things, and unsearchable, who can know it?
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 am the Lord who search the heart and prove the reins: who give to every one according to his way, and according to the fruit 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。
As the partridge hath hatched eggs which she did not lay: so is he that hath gathered riches, and not by right: in the midst of his days he shall leave them, and in his latter end he shall be a fool.
12 我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座， 从太初安置在高处。
A high and glorious throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctification:
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: all that forsake thee shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shall be written in the earth: because they have forsaken the Lord, the vein of living waters.
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 thou art my praise.
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。
And I am not troubled, following thee for my pastor, and I have not desired the day of man, thou knowest. That which went out of my lips, hath been right in thy sight.
17 不要使我因你惊恐； 当灾祸的日子，你是我的避难所。
Be not thou a terror unto me, thou art my hope in the day of affliction.
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 be confounded that persecute me, and let not me be confounded: let them be afraid, and let not me be afraid: bring upon them the day of affliction, and with a double destruction, destroy them.
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 saith the Lord to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Juda come in, and 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 thou shalt say to them: Hear the word of the Lord, ye kings of Juda, and all Juda, and all the inhabitant of Jerusalem, that enter in by 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 saith the Lord: Take heed to your souls and carry no burdens on the Sabbath day: and bring them not in by 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 do not bring burdens out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any 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 did not hear, nor incline their ear: but hardened their neck, that they might not hear me, and might not receive instruction.
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 hearken to me, saith the Lord, to bring in no burdens by the gates of this city on the sabbath day: and if you will sanctify the sabbath day, to do no work therein:
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。
Then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes, sitting upon the throne of David, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited forever.
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 they shall come from the cities of Juda, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plains, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing holocausts, and victims, and sacrifices, and frankincense, and they shall bring in an offering into 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 if you will not hearken to me, to sanctify the sabbath day, and not to carry burdens, and not to bring them in by the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day: I will kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
