Jeremía 17
Icelandic Bible
17 Synd Júda er rituð með járnstíl. Með demantsoddi er hún rist á spjöld hjartna þeirra og á altarishorn þeirra
2 þeim til áminningar. Ölturu þeirra og fórnarsúlur standa hjá grænu trjánum, á háu hæðunum,
3 í fjöllunum á hálendinu. Eigur þínar, alla fjársjóðu þína ofursel ég að herfangi vegna syndar, sem drýgð hefir verið í öllum héruðum þínum.
4 Þá munt þú verða að sleppa hendinni af óðali þínu, því er ég gaf þér, og ég mun láta þig þjóna óvinum þínum í landi, sem þú þekkir ekki, því að reiði mín er eldur brennandi, sem loga mun eilíflega.
5 Svo segir Drottinn: Bölvaður er sá maður, sem reiðir sig á menn og gjörir hold að styrkleik sínum, en hjarta hans víkur frá Drottni.
6 Hann er eins og einirunnur á saltsléttunni og hann lifir ekki það, að neitt gott komi. Hann býr á skrælnuðum stöðum í eyðimörkinni, á óbyggilegu saltlendi.
7 Blessaður er sá maður, sem reiðir sig á Drottin og lætur Drottin vera athvarf sitt.
8 Hann er sem tré, sem gróðursett er við vatn og teygir rætur sínar út að læknum, _ sem hræðist ekki, þótt hitinn komi, og er með sígrænu laufi, sem jafnvel í þurrka-ári er áhyggjulaust og lætur ekki af að bera ávöxt.
9 Svikult er hjartað fremur öllu öðru, og spillt er það. Hver þekkir það?
10 Ég, Drottinn, er sá, sem rannsaka hjartað, prófa nýrun, og það til þess að gjalda sérhverjum eftir breytni hans, eftir ávexti verka hans.
11 Sá, sem aflar auðs og eigi með réttu, er eins og akurhæna, sem liggur á eggjum, er hún eigi hefir orpið. Á miðri ævinni verður hann að yfirgefa auðinn og við ævilokin stendur hann sem heimskingi.
12 Hásæti dýrðarinnar, hátt upp hafið frá upphafi, er staður helgidóms vors.
13 Þú von Ísraels _ Drottinn! Allir þeir, sem yfirgefa þig, skulu til skammar verða. Já, þeir sem vikið hafa frá mér, verða skrifaðir í duftið, því að þeir hafa yfirgefið lind hins lifandi vatns, Drottin.
14 Lækna mig, Drottinn, að ég megi heill verða; hjálpa mér, svo að mér verði hjálpað, því að þú ert minn lofstír.
15 Sjá, þeir segja við mig: "Hvar er orð Drottins? Rætist það þá!"
16 Ég hefi ekki skotið mér undan því að vera hirðir eftir þinni bendingu, og óheilladagsins hefi ég ekki óskað _ það veist þú! Það, sem fram gengið hefir af vörum mínum, liggur bert fyrir augliti þínu.
17 Vertu mér ekki skelfing, þú athvarf mitt á ógæfunnar degi!
18 Lát ofsóknarmenn mína verða til skammar, en lát mig ekki verða til skammar. Lát þá skelfast, en lát mig ekki skelfast. Lát ógæfudag koma yfir þá og sundurmola þá tvöfaldri sundurmolan!
19 Svo mælti Drottinn við mig: Far og nem staðar í þjóðhliðinu, sem Júdakonungar ganga inn og út um, og í öllum hliðum Jerúsalem,
20 og seg við þá: Heyrið orð Drottins, þér Júdakonungar og allir Júdamenn og allir Jerúsalembúar, þér sem gangið inn um hlið þessi!
21 Svo segir Drottinn: Gætið yðar _ líf yðar liggur við _ og berið eigi byrðar á hvíldardegi, svo að þér komið með þær inn um hlið Jerúsalem.
22 Berið og engar byrðar út úr húsum yðar á hvíldardegi og vinnið ekkert verk, svo að þér haldið hvíldardaginn heilagan, eins og ég hefi boðið feðrum yðar.
23 En þeir hlýddu ekki og lögðu ekki við eyrun, heldur voru harðsvíraðir, svo að þeir hlýddu ekki, né þýddust aga.
24 En ef þér nú hlýðið mér _ segir Drottinn _ svo að þér komið ekki með neinar byrðar inn í hlið þessarar borgar á hvíldardegi, heldur haldið hvíldardaginn heilagan, svo að þér vinnið ekkert verk á honum,
25 þá munu fara inn um hlið þessarar borgar konungar, sem sitja í hásæti Davíðs, akandi í vögnum og ríðandi hestum, þeir og höfðingjar þeirra, Júdamenn og Jerúsalembúar, og borg þessi mun eilíflega byggð verða.
26 Og menn munu koma úr Júdaborgum og úr umhverfi Jerúsalem og úr Benjamínslandi og af láglendinu og úr fjöllunum og úr Suðurlandinu, þeir er færa brennifórn og sláturfórn og matfórn og reykelsi og þeir er færa þakkarfórn í musteri Drottins.
27 En ef þér hlýðið mér eigi, að halda helgan hvíldardaginn og bera enga byrði og ganga eigi inn um hlið Jerúsalem á hvíldardegi, þá mun ég leggja eld í hlið hennar, sem eyða mun höllum Jerúsalem og eigi slökktur verða.
Jeremiah 17
New International Version
Jeremiah 17
New International Version
17 “Judah’s sin is engraved with an iron tool,(A)
inscribed with a flint point,
on the tablets of their hearts(B)
and on the horns(C) of their altars.
2 Even their children remember
their altars and Asherah poles[a](D)
beside the spreading trees
and on the high hills.(E)
3 My mountain in the land
and your[b] wealth and all your treasures
I will give away as plunder,(F)
together with your high places,(G)
because of sin throughout your country.(H)
4 Through your own fault you will lose
the inheritance(I) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(J)
in a land(K) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
and it will burn(L) forever.”
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(M)
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(N)
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places(O) of the desert,
in a salt(P) land where no one lives.
7 “But blessed(Q) is the one who trusts(R) in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.(S)
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(T)
and never fails to bear fruit.”(U)
9 The heart(V) is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart(W)
and examine the mind,(X)
to reward(Y) each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”(Z)
11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
and in the end they will prove to be fools.(AA)
12 A glorious throne,(AB) exalted from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, you are the hope(AC) of Israel;
all who forsake(AD) you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust(AE)
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the spring of living water.(AF)
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;(AG)
save(AH) me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.(AI)
15 They keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it now be fulfilled!”(AJ)
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd;
you know I have not desired the day of despair.
What passes my lips(AK) is open before you.
17 Do not be a terror(AL) to me;
you are my refuge(AM) in the day of disaster.(AN)
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but keep me from shame;
let them be terrified,
but keep me from terror.
Bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction.(AO)
Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy
19 This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and stand at the Gate of the People,[c] through which the kings of Judah go in and out; stand also at all the other gates of Jerusalem.(AP) 20 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah and all people of Judah and everyone living in Jerusalem(AQ) who come through these gates.(AR) 21 This is what the Lord says: Be careful not to carry a load on the Sabbath(AS) day or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem. 22 Do not bring a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your ancestors.(AT) 23 Yet they did not listen or pay attention;(AU) they were stiff-necked(AV) and would not listen or respond to discipline.(AW) 24 But if you are careful to obey me, declares the Lord, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy(AX) by not doing any work on it, 25 then kings who sit on David’s throne(AY) will come through the gates of this city with their officials. They and their officials will come riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by the men of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.(AZ) 26 People will come from the towns of Judah and the villages around Jerusalem, from the territory of Benjamin and the western foothills, from the hill country and the Negev,(BA) bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord. 27 But if you do not obey(BB) me to keep the Sabbath(BC) day holy by not carrying any load as you come through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire(BD) in the gates of Jerusalem that will consume her fortresses.’”(BE)

King James Version
17 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.
5 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 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Thus said the Lord unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the Lord, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon 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 for ever.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the Lord.
27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
