Jeremias 17
1 Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and will lean his arm of flesh upon him, while his heart departs from the Lord.
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。
他們的兒女記念他們高岡上、青翠樹旁的壇和木偶。
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；
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。
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 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.
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 But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord shall be.
倚靠耶和華、以耶和華為可靠的， 那人有福了！
8 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.
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 deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?
人心比萬物都詭詐， 壞到極處， 誰能識透呢？
10 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.
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 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.
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 An exalted throne of glory is our sanctuary.
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, 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.
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 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my boast.
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 to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come.
他們對我說：耶和華的話在哪裏呢？ 叫這話應驗吧！
16 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.
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 to me a stranger, [but] spare me in the evil day.
不要使我因你驚恐； 當災禍的日子，你是我的避難所。
18 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.
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 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:
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 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:
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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],
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 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.
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 [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.
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 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.
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。」
