Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Engraved on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,
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。
2 As their sons remember their altars and their Asherim, By the green tree, by the high hills.
他们的儿女记念他们高冈上、青翠树旁的坛和木偶。
3 O My mountain in the field—your strength, All your treasures—I give for a prey, Your high places for sin in all your borders.
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 And you have let go—even through yourself, Of your inheritance that I gave to you, And I have caused you to serve your enemies, In a land that you have not known, For you have kindled a fire in My anger, It burns for all time.”
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 Thus said YHWH: “Cursed [is] the man who trusts in man, And has made flesh his arm, And whose heart turns from YHWH.
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 And he has been as a naked thing in a desert, And does not see when good comes, And has inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.
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。
7 Blessed [is] the man who trusts in YHWH, And whose confidence has been YHWH.
倚靠耶和华、以耶和华为可靠的， 那人有福了！
8 And has been as a tree planted by waters, And he sends forth his roots by a stream, And he does not see when heat comes, And his leaf has been green, And he is not sorrowful in a year of scarcity, Nor does he cease from making fruit.
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。
9 The heart [is] deceitful above all things, And it [is] incurable—who knows it?
人心比万物都诡诈， 坏到极处， 谁能识透呢？
10 I, YHWH, search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
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。
11 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he forsakes it, And in his latter end—he is a fool.”
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。
12 A throne of glory on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,
我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座， 从太初安置在高处。
13 The hope of Israel [is] YHWH, All forsaking You are ashamed. “And My apostates are written in the earth, For they have forsaken YHWH, A fountain of living waters.”
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。
14 Heal me, O YHWH, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, For You [are] my praise.
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。
15 Behold, they are saying to me: “Where [is] the word of YHWH? Pray, let it come.”
他们对我说：耶和华的话在哪里呢？ 叫这话应验吧！
16 And I did not hurry from feeding after You, And I have not desired the desperate day, You have known the produce of my lips, It has been before Your face,
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。
17 Do not be to me for a terror, You [are] my hope in a day of calamity.
不要使我因你惊恐； 当灾祸的日子，你是我的避难所。
18 Let my pursuers be ashamed, And do not let me be ashamed—me! Let them be frightened, And do not let me be frightened—me! Bring in on them a day of calamity, And destroy them a second time [with] destruction.
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。
19 Thus said YHWH to me: “Go, and you have stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,
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，
20 and you have said to them: Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,”
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。
21 Thus said YHWH: “Take heed to yourselves, And you do not bear a burden on the day of rest, Nor have you brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.
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；
22 Nor do you take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Indeed, you do not do any work, And you have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.
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。’
23 And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.
他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项不听，不受教训。”
24 And it has been, if you certainly listen to Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So as not to bring in a burden by the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do any work in it—
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；
25 Then kings and princes have entered by the gates of this city, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city has remained for all time.
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。
26 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from outskirts of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, And from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of YHWH.
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。
27 And if you do not listen to Me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it has consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!”
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。”
