1猶大的罪觸怒 神“猶大的罪是用鐵筆銘記的，是用金鋼鑽刻在他們的心版上，和他們（“他們”有古抄本作“你們”）祭壇的角上。
1The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars;
2他們的兒女也懷念著那些在各高岡上、在繁茂樹旁的祭壇和亞舍拉。
2while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.
3我在田野的山哪！因你在四境之內所犯的罪，我必把你的財產、一切寶物和你的邱壇，給敵人作掠物。（本節或譯：“因你在四境之內所犯的罪，我必把我在田野的山、你的財產、一切寶物和你的邱壇，給敵人作掠物。”）
3My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
4因你自己的緣故，我賜給你的產業，你必失掉；我必使你在你不認識的地方，服事你的仇敵；因為你們惹起我的怒火，我的怒火必燃燒到永遠。”
4You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.
5靠主得福耶和華這樣說：“倚靠世人，恃憑肉體為自己的力量，心裡偏離耶和華的，這人該受咒詛。
5Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
6他必像沙漠中的灌木，福樂來到，他也必看不見，卻要住在曠野乾旱之地、無人居住的鹹地。
6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
7但倚靠耶和華，以耶和華為他所信賴的，這人是有福的。
7Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is.
8他必像一棵樹，栽種在水邊，樹根伸進河裡；炎熱來到，並不害怕，樹葉仍然繁茂；在荒旱之年，它不掛慮，並且不斷結果子。”
8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9人心詭詐，求主鑒察人心比萬物都詭詐，無法醫治；誰能識透呢？
9The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
10“我耶和華是察透人心，試驗人肺腑的，要照著各人的行為，和各人所作的事應得的結果報應各人。”
10I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
11使用不公正的方法發財的，就像一隻鷓鴣孵了不是自己所生的蛋；到了中年，那財富必離開他，最後他必成為一個愚昧人。
11As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
12我們的聖所是榮耀的寶座，從起初就矗立在高處。
12A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13耶和華以色列的盼望啊！離棄你的，都必蒙羞；偏離你（“你”原文作“我”）的，他們的名字必寫在沙土上，因為他們離棄了耶和華這活水的源頭。
13Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
14耶和華啊！求你醫治我，我就得醫治；求你拯救我，我就得拯救；因為你是我所讚美的。
14Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
15看哪！他們常常對我說：“耶和華的話在哪裡？使它應驗（“應驗”原文作“來”）吧！”
15Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come now.
16至於我，我沒有急忙離棄那跟從你作牧人的職分（“我沒有急忙離棄那跟從你作牧人的職分”有古譯本作“我沒有催逼你降災禍”），也沒有想望災難的日子，這是你知道的；我嘴裡所出的話都在你面前。
16As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.
17求你不要使我因你驚恐，在災禍的日子，你是我的避難所。
17Don’t be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.
18願那些迫害我的蒙羞，卻不要叫我蒙羞；願他們驚恐，卻不要使我驚恐；求你使災禍的日子臨到他們，加倍毀滅他們。
18Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed; let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19謹守安息日耶和華對我這樣說：“你去站在猶大列王出入的城門（“城門”原文作“人民城門”），又站在耶路撒冷的各城門口，
19Thus said Yahweh to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20對他們說：‘耶路撒冷諸王、猶大眾民和所有進入這些城門的猶大居民哪！你們要聽他耶和華的話。
20and tell them, Hear the word of Yahweh, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21耶和華這樣說：為了自己的性命，你們要謹慎，不可在安息日挑擔子，不可挑進耶路撒冷的城門。
21Thus says Yahweh, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22也不可在安息日從你們家裡挑擔子出來；甚麼工都不可作，卻要守安息日為聖日，正如我吩咐你們列祖的。
22neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23你們的列祖卻沒有聽從，毫不在意，反而硬著頸項不肯聽，不受管教。’”
23But they didn’t listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24耶和華宣告說：“但如果你們真心聽從我，不在安息日挑擔子進入這城的城門，並且守安息日為聖日，在那日不作任何工作；
24It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
25這樣，就必有坐大衛王位的列王，並有眾領袖隨著，進入這城的城門；列王和眾領袖乘著車，騎著馬，跟猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民一同進入這城。這城必永遠有人居住。
25then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
26必有人從猶大的各城和耶路撒冷周圍的各處，從便雅憫地、低地、山地和南地而來；他們帶著燔祭、平安祭、素祭、乳香和感恩祭到耶和華的殿裡去。
26They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.
27但如果你們不聽從我，不守安息日為聖日，仍在安息日挑擔子，進入耶路撒冷的城門；這樣，我就必在耶路撒冷的各城門點起火來，燒毀耶路撒冷的堡壘，沒有人能夠撲滅。”
27But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
