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).

43:1

ላዕለ፡ ጽንዓ፡ ለሰማይ፡ በንጽሕ፡ ወርእየተ፡ ሰማይኒ፡ በስብሐቲሁ።

The pride of the height is the firmament in its clearness, The appearance of heaven, in the spectacle of its glory.

高處的榮美，乃是穹蒼的明淨，諸天的景象，顯出榮耀的奇觀。

43:2

ወያሠርቅ፡ ፀሓየ፡ ከመ፡ ያርኢ፡ ብርሃኖ፡ ወነኪር፡ ሥርዐቱ፡ ለግብረ፡ ሰማይ።

The sun when he appears, bringing tidings as he goes forth, Is a marvelous instrument, the work of the Most High:

太陽出現時，沿途宣告佳音，乃是奇妙的器具，是至高者的作為。

43:3

ወበቀትሩሂ፡ ያየብስ፡ ብሔረ፡ ወመኑ፡ ይትቃወማ፡ ለላህቡ።

At his noon he dries up the country, And who shall stand against his burning heat?

它正午時烤乾大地，誰能抵擋它的炎熱呢？

43:4

ከመ፡ እቶን፡ ዘይነድድ፡ ይሬሲ፡ ላህ[ቦ]፡ ወመሥልስ[ተ]፡ ፀሓይ፡ ያውዕዮሙ፡ ለአድባር፡ ወላህበ፡ እሳት፡ ይነፍኅ፡ እምኔሁ፡ ወነጽሮ፡ ብርሃኑ፡ ያከፍእ፡ ዐይነ።

A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, But the sun three times more, burning up the mountains: Breathing out fiery vapours, And sending forth bright beams, he dims the eyes.

人吹爐取火尚且勞作於熱中，太陽燒熱山嶺更勝三倍；它噴出火般的蒸氣，發出耀眼的光芒，使人眼目昏花。

43:5

ዐቢይ፡ ውእቱ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ዘገብሮ፡ ወበቃሉ፡ ይፈጥን፡ ሑረቱ።

Great is the Lord that made him; And at his word he hastens his course.

造太陽的主為大；祂一發命令，太陽就加速運行。

43:6

ወወርኅኒ፡ ዕድሜሁ፡ ውእቱ፡ ለኵሉ፡ ወትእምርት፡ ለብሔር፡ ወባቲ፡ ይትፈለጥ፡ መዋዕል።

The moon also is in all things for her season, For a declaration of times, and a sign of the world.

月亮按它的時令出現，標明時節，作萬世的記號。

43:7

እምነ፡ ወርኅ፡ ይትዐወቅ፡ ትእምርተ፡ በዓላት፡ ብርሃን፡ ዘየኀልቅ፡ እንዘ፡ የሐጽጽ።

From the moon is the sign of the feast day; A light that waneth when she is come to the full.

節期的記號是出於月亮；它盈滿之後，便漸漸虧缺。

43:8

ወወርኅሰ፡ በከመ፡ ስማ፡ ይእቲ፡ ወነኪር፡ ከመ፡ ተዐቢ፡ ወዕጹብ፡ ከመ፡ ታስተባሪ፡ በውስተ፡ ሥርዓተ፡ ትዕይንተ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወያበርህ፡ በውስተ፡ ኀይለ፡ ሰማይ።

The month is called after her name, Increasing wonderfully in her changing; An instrument of the army on high, Shining forth in the firmament of heaven;

月份是按它的名而定，它奇妙地漸漸圓滿；它是高天軍隊的器具，在穹蒼中發出光輝。

43:9

ስርጋዌሃ፡ ለሰማይ፡ ክብሮሙ፡ ለከዋክብት፡ ወያበርሁ፡ ለብሔር፡ በውስተ፡ ሰማዩ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር።

The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, An ornament giving light in the highest places of the Lord.

諸星的榮美，是天的美麗，是在主至高之處發光的裝飾。
