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 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.
2 他们的儿女记念他们高冈上、青翠树旁的坛和木偶。
They remember their altars as their children, with their groues by the greene trees vpon the hilles.
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；
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.
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 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.
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 arme, and withdraweth his heart 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 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.
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 ye Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
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。
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.
9 人心比万物都诡诈， 坏到极处， 谁能识透呢？
The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can knowe 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 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.
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 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.
12 我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座， 从太初安置在高处。
As a glorious throne exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuarie.
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, shalbe written in the earth, because they haue forsaken the Lord, the fountaine of liuing 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。
Heale me, O Lord, and I shall bee whole: saue me, and I shall bee saued: for thou art my prayse.
15 他们对我说：耶和华的话在哪里呢？ 叫这话应验吧！
Behold, they say vnto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come nowe.
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 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.
17 不要使我因你惊恐； 当灾祸的日子，你是我的避难所。
Be not terrible vnto mee: thou art mine hope in the day of aduersitie.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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。’
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.
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 obeied not, neither inclined their eares, but made their neckes stiffe and would not heare, nor receiue 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；
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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
