ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

33:1

ተሣሀለነ፡ እግዚኦ፡ አምላከ፡ ኵሉ፡ ኀይል፡ ወተመየጠነ።

There shall no evil happen to him that fears the Lord; But in temptation once and again will he deliver him.

敬畏主的人，必不遭遇災禍；他雖遇試煉，主也必一再搭救他。

33:2

ፈኑ፡ ፍርሀተከ፡ ላዕለ፡ ኵሉ፡ አሕዛብ።

A wise man will not hate the law; But he that is a hypocrite therein is as a ship in a storm.

智慧人不恨惡律法；在律法上虛偽的人，卻像暴風中的船。

33:3

ወአንሥእ፡ እዴከ፡ ላዕለ፡ ሕዝብ፡ ነኪር፡ ወይርአዩ፡ ኀይለከ።

A man of understanding will put his trust in the law; And the law is faithful to him, as when one asks at the oracle.

明達的人必信靠律法；律法對他是可靠的，如同求問神諭得着明白的指示。

33:4

በከመ፡ እንዘ፡ ይሬእዩ፡ እሙንቱ፡ ተቀደስከ፡ በኀቤነ፡ ከማሁ፡ እንዘ፡ ንሕነሂ፡ ንሬኢ፡ ተሰባሕ፡ በኀቤሆሙ።

Prepare your speech, and so shall you be heard; Bind up instruction, and make your answer.

先預備好你的話，然後才能被人聽見；先整理好所學的，然後才作回答。

33:5

ወያአምሩከ፡ እሙንቱኒ፡ በከመ፡ አእመርናከ፡ ንሕነ፡ እስመ፡ አልቦ፡ አምላክ፡ ዘእንበሌከ፡ እግዚኦ።

The heart of a fool is as a cartwheel; And his thoughts like a rolling axle tree.

愚昧人的心如車輪，他的思想如轉動的車軸。

33:6

አርኢ፡ ተኣምሪከ፡ ወክሥት፡ ስብሐቲከ።

A stallion horse is as a mocking friend; He neighs under every one that sits upon him.

嘲弄人的朋友，如同發情的駿馬，凡騎上牠的，牠都向他嘶鳴。

33:7

በኀይለ፡ እዴከ፡ ወበክብረ፡ የማንከ።

Why does one day excel another, When all the light of every day in the year is of the sun?

既然一年每日的光都是出於太陽，為何一日勝過一日呢？

33:8

አምጽእ፡ መንሱተ፡ ወፈኑ፡ መቅሠፍተ።

By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished; And he varied seasons and feasts:

它們是憑著主的知識被分別出來的；祂使節期和節日各有不同。

33:9

ወሠርዎ፡ ለዐማፂ፡ ወቀጥቅጦ፡ ለፀራዊ።

Some of them he exalted and hallowed, And some of them has he made ordinary days.

其中有些日子，祂高舉並使之成聖；有些日子，祂卻定為平常的日子。

33:10

ተዘከር፡ መሐላሆሙ፡ ወአፍጥና፡ ለዕለቶሙ፤….።

And all men are from the ground, And Adam was created of earth.

眾人都是出於塵土；亞當也是由地造成的。

33:11

ወቅሥፎሙ፡ በመዐት፡ ወበእሳት፡ ወአጥፍኦሙ፡ ለእለ፡ አምሠጡ፡ እምውስቴቶሙ፡ ወእለ፡ አሕሠሙ፡ ላዕለ፡ ሕዝብከ፡ ይርከቦሙ፡ ሞቶሙ።

In the abundance of his knowledge the Lord distinguished them, And made their ways various:

主以祂豐富的知識分別了人，又使他們的道路各有不同。

33:12

ወስብሮሙ፡ አርእስቲሆሙ፡ ለመላእክተ፡ ፀር፡ እለ፡ ይብሉ፡ አልቦ፡ ባዕደ፡ ዘእንበሌነ።

Some of them he blessed and exalted, And some of them he hallowed and brought near to himself: Some of them he cursed and brought low, And overthrew them from their place.

其中有些人祂賜福並高舉，有些人祂使之成聖，並使他親近自己；有些人祂咒詛並貶抑，又從他們的地位上把他們傾覆。

33:13

ወአስተጋብኦሙ፡ ለኵሎሙ፡ ዘርአ፡ ያዕቆብ።

As the clay of the potter in his hand, All his ways are according to his good pleasure; So men are in the hand of him that made them, To render to them according to his judgement.

窯匠手中的泥怎樣，照他的心意可塑成各樣器皿；照樣，人在那造他者的手中，要照祂的判斷得着報應。
