1:1392

Ἀπέῤῥιμμαι ἄρα ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου

'I am then cast away from before your eyes.'

「我從你眼前被丟棄了。」

1:1393

Κλῖνον. πρός με τὸ οὖς σου

'Incline your ear to me.'

Ἐπεὶ μὴ φθάνει ἡ ἡμετέρα κραυγὴ εἰς τὸ ὕψος, κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου πρὸς ἐμὲ, διὰ τοῦ συγκαταβαίνειν μοι

Since our cry does not reach up to the height, incline your ear to me, by condescending to me.

既然我們的呼求無法達到高處，求你側耳聽我，藉著俯就於我。

1:1395

Ἐξάξεις με ἐκ παγίδος ταύτης ἧς ἔκρυψάν μοι

'You shall bring me out of this snare which they have hidden for me.'

1:1396

Ἐφεδρεύσαντες γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὴν ψυχὴν, συνελά βοντο αὐτόν

Ὡς ἤδη εἰσακουσθεὶς τοιαῦτά φησιν

As one already heard, he says such things.

他如同已蒙垂聽一般，說出這樣的話。

1:1399

Ἐμίσησας τοὺς διαφυλάσσοντας ματαιότητας διακενῆς

'You have hated those who vainly observe vanities.'

「你恨惡那些徒然謹守虛妄之事的人。」

1:1400

Ματαιότητάς φησι τοῦ παρόντος βίου τοὺς περισπασμούς·

By 'vanities' he means the distractions of the present life;

「虛妄之事」是指今生的種種紛擾牽掛；

1:1401

οὓς καὶ ἐργαζόμενοι ματαιότητα πονοῦμεν

These are the ones for whom, as we labor, we also toil in vanity.

這些人，我們也是為了他們而勞碌，徒然辛苦。

1:1402

Παρέπεται τὸ, διακενῆς, τῷ φυλάσσοντι ματαιότητας

The phrase 'in vain' (διακενῆς) is attached to 'the one who observes vanities.'

Ἐταράχθη ἐν θυμῷ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ἡ γαστήρ μου

My eye was troubled with distress, as were my soul and my belly.

我的眼睛因愁苦而昏矇，我的靈魂和我的腹腑也是如此。

1:1409

Ὥσπερ ὀφθαλμὸν τὸν νοῦν τῆς ψυχῆς φησιν, οὕτω καὶ γαστέρα φησὶ τῆς ψυ χῆς τὴν μνήμην·

Just as he calls the mind of the soul 'eye,' so too he calls the memory of the soul 'belly';

正如他稱靈魂的心智為「眼睛」，同樣他也稱靈魂的記憶為「腹腑」；

1:1410

ἐν ᾗ ὥσπερ ἐν γαστρὶ τὰς λογικὰς ἀποτιθέμεθα τροφάς

in which, as in a belly, we store away rational food.

For my life has failed in sorrow.

因為我的生命在痛苦中消逝。

1:1414

Τὸ ἐπιτετα μένον τῆς διανοίας δηλοῖ

This shows the heightened intensity of his mind.

這顯明了他心思的極度強烈（緊張）。

1:1415

Καὶ τὰ ἔτη μου ἐν στε ναγμοῖς

And my years in groanings.

我的年歲也在歎息中度過。

1:1416

Ἠσθένησεν ἐν πτωχείᾳ ἡ ἰσχύς μου

My strength grew weak in poverty.

我的力量因貧乏而衰弱。

1:1417

Πτωχεύ σας, φησὶ, τῆς παρὰ σοῦ βοηθείας διὰ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν, ἠσθένησα

Having become poor, he says, of the help that comes from you, because of sin, I grew weak.

For my life has failed in sorrow

因我的生命在痛苦中消逝

1:1421

καὶ τάπητας, καὶ στρώματα·

and carpets, and bedding;

以及地毯和鋪蓋；

1:1422

καὶ προσήνεγκαν τῷ λαῷ ταῦτα, καὶ τὰς τροφάς·

and they brought these things to the people, along with food;

他們把這些東西和食物都帶給了百姓；

1:1423

ὅτι ἔλεγον τὸν λαὸν πεινᾷν, καὶ ἐκλελύσθαι διψήσαντα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.] Παρὰ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐγενήθην ὄνει δος

for they said that the people were hungry, and had grown faint with thirst in the wilderness. I have become a reproach beyond all my enemies.

因為他們說百姓飢餓，並且在曠野中因乾渴而困乏。我在我一切的仇敵面前成了羞辱。

1:1424

[ Νεκρὸς μὲν ἀπὸ καρδίας ἐστὶν ὁ ἐστερημένος ἀρετῶν.] Καὶ οἱ ἐχθροί μου, φησὶν, ὠνείδιζόν με, καὶ οἱ γνωστοί μου ἐφοβοῦντό με, καὶ οἱ θεωροῦντες ἀπέφευγον διὰ τὴν ὑπερβολὴν ἧς ὑπερεδεικνύμην μετανοίας·

He who is deprived of the virtues is dead in heart. And my enemies, he says, reproached me, and my acquaintances feared me, and those who beheld me fled, on account of the excess of repentance which I was displaying;

凡缺乏美德的人，就心裡死了。他說：我的仇敵責罵我，我的相識懼怕我，觀看我的人因見我所顯出的過度悔改而逃避我；

σάκκῳ δὲ καὶ σποδῷ κατατρυχόμενος, καὶ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς κλαίων

being worn away with sackcloth and ashes, and weeping both day and night.

1:1426

Τὸ δὲ, παρὰ πάντας, οὐχ ὑπὲρ πάντας εἰπεῖν βούλεται, ἀλλ' ἀντὶ τοῦ, παρὰ πάντας·

By 'beyond all' he does not mean to say 'more than all,' but rather in the sense of 'from all';

「在眾人面前」（παρὰ πάντας）並非要表達「勝過眾人」之意，而是等同於「從眾人那裡」；

1:1427

τουτέστιν παρὰ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὠνειδίσθην

that is, I was reproached by my enemies.

也就是說，我被我的仇敵所羞辱。

1:1428

Οὕτω γὰρ λέγει καὶ Ἀκύλας·

For thus Aquila also says:

因為阿奎拉也是這樣說的：

1:1429

Παρὰ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου ἐγενήθην ὄνειδος

From all my enemies I became a reproach.

我從我一切的仇敵那裡成了羞辱。

1:1430

Ὅτι ἤκουσα ψόγον πολλῶν παροικούντων κυ κλόθεν

For I heard the slander of many who dwell round about.

因我聽見四圍居住之許多人的毀謗。

1:1431

Ψόγον τὴν ἐπιβουλήν φησιν

By 'slander' he means their plotting.

「毀謗」是指他們的陰謀。

1:1432

Λέγει δὲ, ὡς οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἐκύκλουν ἐπιβουλεύοντες

And he says this, because his enemies surrounded him, plotting against him.

他這樣說，是因為仇敵們圍繞著他，圖謀陷害他。

1:1433

Τοῦ λαβεῖν τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐβουλεύσαντο

They took counsel together to take my life.

他們商議要奪取我的性命。

1:1434

Ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ σοὶ, Κύ. ριε, ἤλπισα

But I hoped in you, O Lord.

但我仰望你，主啊。

1:1435

καὶ ἐπιθυμίας τὸν νοῦν θανα τοῦσιν

and by their desires they put the mind to death.

並藉著慾念使心智死亡。

1:1436

Ἐν ταῖς χερσίν σου οἱ κλῆροί μου

In your hands are my lots.

我的籤分都在你手中。

1:1437

Εἰ καὶ ἐπι βουλεύουσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ, ἐπιβουλεύοντες τὴν ψυχήν μου λαβεῖν, ἀλλὰ οἱ κλῆροί μου πεφυλαγμένοι εἰσὶν ἐν ταῖς χερσί σου, οὓς ἀποδώσεις μοι κατὰ καιρὸν, διὰ τὸ ἐπὶ σοί με ἐλπίζειν

Even though my enemies plot, scheming to take my life, yet my lots are kept safe in your hands, which you will restore to me in due season, because I hope in you.

縱然仇敵圖謀，設計要奪取我的性命，但我的籤分仍蒙你保守在你手中，你必按時歸還給我，因為我仰望你。

1:1438

Ἐκεῖνοι μὲν οὖν ἀθροισθέντες τὸν ἐμὸν καττύουσι θάνατον·

They, then, having gathered together, are stitching together my death;

他們聚集起來，正合謀策劃我的死亡；

1:1439

ἐγὼ δὲ σὲ Θεὸν οἶδα καὶ πρύτανιν

but I know you to be God and my sovereign lord.

但我知道你是神，也是我的主宰。

1:1440

Ῥῦσαί με ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν μου καὶ ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με

Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

求你救我脫離仇敵的手，脫離逼迫我的人。

1:1441

Φεῦγε τὴν πονηρίαν, φησὶν ὁ Ἀπόστολος·

'Flee evil,' says the Apostle;

使徒說：「要逃避邪惡」；

1:1442

εἰ καὶ διώκει ἡ πονηρία, διώκει δηλονότι καὶ ἡ μοιχεία, καὶ ἡ πλεο νεξία, καὶ ὁ θυμὸς, καὶ ἡ ὀργή·

for if wickedness pursues, then clearly adultery pursues too, and covetousness, and wrath, and anger;

因為若邪惡追逼人，顯然姦淫、貪婪、忿怒和惱怒也同樣追逼人；

1:1443

Ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου·

Make your face to shine upon your servant;

求你使你的臉光照你的僕人；

1:1444

Τῆς γὰρ σῆς μοι γενομένης ἐπιφανείας, τὰ σκυθρωπὰ παραυτίκα λυ θήσεται

For once your manifestation has come to me, the gloom will at once be dispelled.

因為一旦你的顯現臨到我，愁苦立刻就會消散。

1:1445

Οὗτός μοι, φησὶ, μόνος τρόπος τῆς σωτη ρίας, εἰ τὸ σὸν ἐπιφάνῃς πρόσωπον

This, he says, is my only means of salvation, if you would let your face shine upon me.

他說：這是我得救唯一的方法，就是你使你的臉向我顯現。

1:1446

Κύριε, μὴ καταισχυνθείην, ὅτι ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε

O Lord, let me not be put to shame, for I have called upon you.

主啊，求你不叫我羞愧，因我曾求告你。

1:1447

Ἐντεῦθεν μανθάνομεν ὡς πολλὴν διαφορὰν ἁμαρ τία πρὸς ἀσέβειαν ἔχει

From this we learn that sin differs greatly from impiety.

由此我們得知，罪與不敬虔之間有很大的區別。

1:1448

Εὔχομαι, φησὶν, ἀποκωφωθῆναι τοὺς ἐχθρούς·

I pray, he says, that my enemies be struck dumb;

他說：我祈求我的仇敵變成啞口無言；

1:1449

τοῦτο δὲ ἔσται, εἰ ἐπιφάνῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου

and this will come to pass, if you let your face shine forth.

而這事必要成就，只要你使你的臉顯現。

1:1450

Ὡς πολὺ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς χρηστότητός σου, Κύριε!

How great is the abundance of your goodness, O Lord!

主啊，你的美善何其浩大！

1:1451

Ὡς ἤδη διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος φωταγωγηθεὶς, Κύριε!

As one already led into the light by the Spirit, O Lord!

主啊，他彷彿已藉聖靈蒙光照引導一般，如此呼喊！

1:1452

Πολλή σου ἐστιν ἡ χρηστότης, ἣν ταμιεύεις καὶ φυλάττεις ἡμῖν·

Great is your goodness, which you store up and keep for us;

你的美善何其豐盛，你為我們積存並保守著；

1:1453

τὸ γὰρ, ἔκρυψας, ἀντὶ τοῦ, ἐφύλαξας, ὡς καὶ τό·

for 'you have hidden' stands in place of 'you have guarded,' as also in the following:

因為「你已隱藏」等同於「你已保守」，正如以下這句話：

1:1454

Κέχρηται δὲ τῷ, ἔκρυψας, ἀντὶ τοῦ, ἐφύλαξας, ἐπειδὴ τὸ κεκρυμμένον φυλάτ τεται

He uses 'you have hidden' in place of 'you have guarded,' since that which is hidden is thereby preserved.

他用「你已隱藏」來代替「你已保守」，因為被隱藏的東西正是被保存的。

1:1455

Ἐξειργάσω τοῖς ἐλπίζουσιν ἐπὶ σέ

which you have wrought for those who hope in you.

是你為那些仰望你的人所成就的。

1:1456

Ἀντὶ τοῦ, ἐξειργάσω ἐν καιρῷ τῷ προσήκοντι

In place of, 'you have wrought it at the fitting time.'

這等於是說：「你在合適的時候成就了這事」。

1:1457

Κατακρύψεις αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ τοῦ προσ ώπου σου

You will hide them in the secret place of your presence.

你必將他們隱藏在你面前的隱密處。

1:1458

Τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, φησὶ, σκέπη τοῖς ἐλπί ζουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ γένηται

May your face, he says, become a shelter for those who hope in you.

他說：願你的臉成為那仰望你之人的庇護。

1:1459

Ἀπὸ ταραχῆς ἀνθρώπων σκεπάσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν σκηνῇ ἀπὸ ἀντιλογίας γλωσσῶν

You will shelter them in a tabernacle from the tumult of men, from the contention of tongues.

你必在帳幕中庇護他們，使他們脫離人的紛擾，脫離口舌的爭辯。

1:1460

Καθάπερ, φησὶν, σκέπη σκεπάσεις αὐτοὺς, ὥστε μήτε ὑπὸ τῶν λόγοις αὐτοῖς ἐπιχειρούντων κα ταβλάπτειν, μήτε ὑπὸ τῶν ἔργοις πολεμούντων ἁλί σκωνται

Just as with a shelter, he says, you will shelter them, so that they are caught neither by those who attempt to harm them with words, nor by those who war against them with deeds.

他說：正如以遮蔽庇護他們一般，使他們既不被那些企圖用言語傷害他們的人所害，也不被那些用行為與之爭戰的人所擄獲。

1:1461

Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὅτι ἐθαυμάστωσε τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει περιοχῆς

Blessed be the Lord, for he has made his mercy wondrous to me in a besieged city.

主是應當稱頌的，因為祂在被圍困的城中，向我彰顯了祂奇妙的憐憫。

1:1462

ὅτι, μυρίων πολεμίων περὶ ἐμὲ συστάν των, καὶ δίκην μεγάλης πόλεως τὴν ἐμὴν ψυχὴν πολιορκεῖν πειρωμένων, ὁ ἐμὸς φύλαξ, φραγμὸν ἐμοὶ περιβαλὼν, τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ θαυμαστὸν ἔδειξεν

for when countless enemies had gathered around me, and were attempting to besiege my soul as though it were a great city, my guardian, having thrown a rampart around me, showed his mercy to be wondrous.

因為當無數的仇敵聚集圍繞著我，企圖如圍攻一座大城般圍困我的靈魂時，我的守護者在我四周築起保障，向我顯明了祂奇妙的憐憫。

1:1463

Ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπον ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου·

But I said in my dismay:

但我在驚惶失措中曾說：

1:1464

Ὁπηνίκα, φησὶν, ἐταπείνουν ἐμαυτὸν ἐν τῇ. γενομένῃ μοι ἐκστάσει, ὅτε καὶ ἐταράχθη ἐν θυμῷ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, ἐπέτριβον ἐμαυτὸν ὡς ἀπεῤῥιμμένος διὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἁμαρτίαν

At the time, he says, when I was humbling myself in the dismay that had come upon me, when also my eye was troubled with distress, I was crushing myself as one cast away because of my own sin.

他說：當我在所遭遇的驚惶中自卑之時，也就是我的眼睛因愁苦而昏花之時，我因自己的罪而折磨自己，彷彿自己是個被丟棄的人。

1:1465

Ἀλλ' ἐγὼ μὲν ταῦτα, φη σὶν, ἔλεγον, σὺ δὲ ὁ φιλάνθρωπος οὐκ ἀπέῤῥιψας τὸν σὸν οἰκέτην

But I, he says, was saying these things, yet you, the lover of mankind, did not cast away your servant.

他說：我雖如此說，但你這慈愛世人的主，卻沒有丟棄你的僕人。

1:1466

Ἀγαπήσατε τὸν Κύριον, πάντες οἱ ὅσιοι αὐ τοῦ

Love the Lord, all you his holy ones.

你們一切屬祂的聖民哪，都當愛主。

1:1467

Τρέπει τὸν λόγον εἰς τὴν ἑτέρων παραίνεσιν ἀφ' ὧν εὐηργετήθη, τοὺς ἄλλους ἐπὶ τὸ ἐξομολογεῖ σθαι παρακαλῶν

He turns his discourse to the exhortation of others, from the benefits he himself received, urging others to give thanks.

他從自己所蒙受的恩惠出發，轉而勸勉他人，鼓勵眾人也來稱謝告白。

1:1468

Καὶ ἀνταποδίδωσι τοῖς περισσῶς ποιοῦσιν ὑπερηφανίαν

and he repays those who act with excessive pride.

祂必報應那些行事過度驕傲的人。

1:1469

Μακροθυμεῖ μὲν ὁ Κύριος ἐπὶ τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις, τοῖς δὲ περισσῶς ποιοῦσιν ὑπερηφανίαν καὶ ἀνταποδίδωσιν

The Lord is longsuffering toward the proud, but to those who act with excessive pride he also renders recompense.

主向驕傲的人是恆久忍耐的，但對那些行事過度驕傲的人，祂也必施行報應。

1:1470

Συνέσεως δὲ ἐπιγέγραπται ὁ ψαλ μὸς, διὰ τὸ ταύτης μάλιστα δεῖσθαι τοὺς ἀνθρώ πους·

The psalm is entitled 'Of understanding,' because it is above all this that human beings have need;

這詩篇的標題是「訓誨詩」，因為人最需要的正是這樣的悟性；

1:1471

ὅτι δὴ σφόδρα ἐκνενευκότες ἐπὶ τὰ πάθη, ἵπποις καὶ ἡμιόνοις ἀπεικάσθησαν

For indeed, having turned aside exceedingly toward the passions, they have been likened to horses and mules.

因為他們過度偏向情慾，竟被比作馬和騾子。

1:1472

Μακάριοι ὧν ἀφέθησαν αἱ ἀνομίαι, καὶ ὧν ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι

Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

凡過犯得赦免、罪惡得遮蓋的人，是有福的。

1:1473

Ἀφίενται μὲν αἱ ἀνο μίαι διὰ βαπτίσματος, ἐπικαλύπτονται δὲ ἁμαρτίαι διὰ τῆς πικρᾶς μετανοίας

Transgressions are forgiven through baptism, while sins are covered through bitter repentance.

過犯藉著洗禮得赦免，罪惡則藉著痛悔的悔改得遮蓋。

1:1474

Μακάριος ἀνὴρ οὗ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται ὁ Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν, οὐδὲ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ δόλος

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile.

主不算為有罪、口中也沒有詭詐的人，是有福的。

1:1475

ἀληθῶς μακάριος, ὁ ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ προσερχόμενος τῷ ἁγίῳ βαπτίσματι

Truly blessed is he who comes to holy baptism with his whole heart.

凡全心歸向聖洗的人，才是真正有福的。

1:1476

[ Ὁ γὰρ μετὰ δόλου βαπτιζόμενος, πρὸς τῷ μὴ τυχεῖν τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ κρῖμα ἕξει.] Τοῦ αὐτοῦ·

[For he who is baptized with guile, besides not obtaining forgiveness, shall also incur judgment.] By the same author:

〔因為心懷詭詐受洗的人，非但得不著赦免，反倒要受審判。〕同作者：

1:1477

τὸ, ὅτι, τῷ, ἐπαλαιώθη, συναπτέον, ἵν' ᾖ·

The word 'for' is to be joined with 'grew old,' so that it reads:

『因為』一詞應與『衰殘』相連，於是文意為：

1:1478

Ὅτι ἐπαλαιώθη τὰ ὀστᾶ μου, ἀπὸ τοῦ κράζειν με ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν

For my bones grew old, because of my crying out all the day long.

因我終日呼求，我的骨頭就漸漸衰殘。

1:1479

Ἐσίγησα μηκέτι φωνὴν ἀφεῖναι δυνάμενος

I fell silent, no longer able to utter a sound.

我默然不語，因我已無力再發聲。

1:1480

Τί δὲ ἔκραξεν, ἢ τὴν συγγνώμην τῆς ἁμαρτίας αἰτῶν; Ὅτι ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς ἐβαρύνθη ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἡ χείρ σου

And why did he cry out, but to ask forgiveness for his sin? 'For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me.'

他呼求所為何事呢？豈不是為求赦免己罪嗎？『因為你的手晝夜壓在我身上。』

1:1481

Ἀγαθὸς, φησὶν, ὢν ἐπαίδευσας σφοδρῶς διὰ τῆς παιδείας ἐπιστρέφων εἰς σωτηρίαν

Being good, he says, You chastised severely, through that chastisement turning me back to salvation.

他說：你本是良善的，卻嚴厲地管教我，藉著這管教使我歸回得救。

1:1482

Ἐστρά φην εἰς ταλαιπωρίαν ἐν τῷ ἐμπαγῆναί μοι ἄκαν θαν

I was turned to misery when a thorn was fixed fast in me.

當一根刺扎入我裡面時，我就轉入了愁苦。

1:1483

Ἄκανθαν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν φησίν

By 'thorn' he means sin.

『刺』指的就是罪。

1:1484

Ἐπειδὴ ἐνεπάγη, φησὶ, τῇ ψυχῇ μου ἡ ἁμαρτία, ἐταλαιπώρησα

Since sin, he says, had been fixed fast in my soul, I became wretched.

他說：因為罪已扎入我的靈魂，我便陷入愁苦。

1:1485

Τὸν τρόπον τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως σημαίνει

He indicates the manner of confession.

他在此指明認罪的方式。

1:1486

Εἶπα ἐξαγορεύσω κατ' ἐμοῦ τὴν ἀνομίαν

I said, I will confess my transgression against myself to the Lord.

我說：我要向主承認我違逆自己的過犯。

1:1487

Καὶ λέγε σὺ, φησὶ, τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου πρῶτος

And you too, he says, be the first to speak your own sins.

他說：你也當率先說出自己的罪。

1:1488

Ὑπὲρ ταύτης προσεύξεται πρὸς σὲ πᾶς ὅσιος

For this shall every holy one pray to You.

為此，凡聖潔的人都要向你禱告。

1:1489

Ὑπὲρ τῆς ἐμοὶ, φησὶ, συγχωρηθείσης ἁμαρτίας ἕκαστος τῶν ὁσίων σοι εὔξεται

For the sin that has been forgiven me, he says, every one of the holy ones will pray to You.

他說：為著我所蒙赦免的罪，每一位聖潔的人都要向你禱告。

1:1490

Πλὴν ἐν κατακλυσμῷ ὑδάτων πολλῶν πρὸς αὐτὸν οὐκ ἐγγιοῦσιν

Only in the flood of many waters they shall not come near him.

只是在眾水氾濫之時，那水必不能臨近他。

1:1491

Τὸν μετανοοῦντα, φησὶ, πλῆθος πειρασμῶν οὐκ ἐπι κλύσει

The multitude of temptations, he says, shall not overwhelm the one who repents.

他說：眾多的試探必不能淹沒悔改的人。

1:1492

Ἐκεῖνα περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας εἰρηκὼς, ἱκετεύει τῶν διὰ ταύτην ἐπενεχθέντων ἀπαλλαγῆναι κακῶν

Having said these things about sin, he entreats to be delivered from the evils brought upon him on account of it.

說完這些關於罪的話之後，他懇求脫離因罪而臨到自己的種種災禍。

1:1493

Καὶ μέντοι καὶ τυγχάνει τῆς ἀποκρίσεως·

And indeed he also receives the answer:

他果然也得著了回應：

1:1494

λέγει γὰρ πρὸς αὐτὸν φιλάνθρωπος Κύριος·

for the loving Lord says to him:

因為那仁慈的主對他說：

1:1495

Συνετιῶ σε καὶ συμβιβῶ σε ἐν ὁδῷ ταύ τῃ

I will instruct you and guide you in this way.

我要教導你，指示你當行的路。

1:1496

Εὐξαμένῳ λύτρωσιν ἐχθρῶν ἀντιφθέγγεται Θεὸς, ὁδηγήσειν ἐπαγγελλόμενος ἐν εὐθείᾳ ὁδῷ

To him who prayed for deliverance from his enemies, God answers, promising to guide him in a straight way.

對那祈求脫離仇敵的人，神回應了他，應許要在正直的道路上引導他。

1:1497

Μὴ γίνεσθαι ὡς ἵππος καὶ ἡμίονος, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι σύνεσις

Do not be like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding.

你不要像那無知無識的馬和騾子。

1:1498

Εἰσηγεῖται τοῖς ἁμαρτάνουσι, τοῖς ἀλόγοις μὴ ἐκδιδόναι αὐτοὺς πάθεσι

He counsels sinners not to hand themselves over to irrational passions.

他勸誡犯罪的人，不要將自己交託給那些無理性的情慾。

1:1499

Ἐν κημῷ καὶ χαλινῷ τὰς σιαγόνας αὐτῶν ἄγξεις

With bit and bridle you shall check their jaws.

你必用嚼環與轡頭勒住牠們的腮。

1:1500

Ὡς πρὸς τὸν Κύριον ὁ λόγος

The saying is addressed to the Lord.

這話是對主所說的。

1:1501

Ὃ δὲ λέγει, τοιοῦτόν ἐστι·

And what he says is this:

他所說的意思是：

1:1502

Τοὺς μὴ βουλομένους μετανοεῖν οἷά τινι χαλινῷ ἐπίστρεψον πρὸς ἑαυτόν

Those who are unwilling to repent, turn back to Yourself as with a kind of bridle.

求你用彷彿轡頭一般的方法，使那些不肯悔改的人轉向你自己。

1:1503

Ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, δίκαιοι, ἐν Κυρίῳ

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.

義人哪，你們應當因主歡欣。

1:1504

ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψάλατε αὐτῷ

Sing praise to Him with the ten-stringed psaltery.

你們要用十弦的琴瑟向祂歌頌讚美。

1:1505

Σαφῶς τὸν διὰ Μω σέως νόμον τέλος ἐσχηκέναι φησίν

He clearly says that the Law given through Moses has come to an end.

他清楚說明：藉摩西所賜的律法已經終結。

1:1506

Ὅτι εὐθὺς ὁ λόγος τοῦ Κυρίου

For the word of the Lord is upright.

因為主的話語是正直的。

1:1507

Καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πίστει

And all His works are done in faithfulness.

祂一切的作為都本於信實。

1:1508

Πι στεύειν δεῖ, φησὶ, τοῖς δι' αὐτοῦ θεοπρεπῶς ἐνεργου μένοις

One must believe, he says, in the things wrought by Him in a manner befitting God.

他說：對於祂以配得神榮耀的方式所成就的事，人都當信靠。

1:1509

Ἀγαπᾷ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν ὁ Κύριος

The Lord loves mercy and judgment.

主喜愛憐憫和公義。

1:1510

Ταῦτα, φησὶν, ἀπαιτεῖ τοὺς εἰς αὐτὸν πιστεύοντας

These things, he says, He requires of those who believe in Him.

他說：這些正是祂向信靠祂之人所要求的。

1:1511

Τοῦ ἐλέους Κυρίου πλήρης ἡ γῆ

The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

大地充滿了主的憐憫。

1:1512

Ἄρχεται τοῦ καὶ ποιητὴν ὄντα αὐτὸν τῆς πάσης κτίσεως δεικνύ ναι, καὶ πρό γε τῆς γῆς ἣν καὶ ἐλέους πληρῶσαί φησιν·

He begins to show that He, being also the Maker of all creation, filled especially the earth—which he says He has also filled—with mercy;

他開始要指明：祂既是全體受造之物的創造者，尤其在大地──他說祂也使大地──充滿了憐憫；

1:1513

καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἄλλως συνεστηκέναι μὴ τούτου γέ μουσα

and it could not otherwise have held together, were it not full of this mercy.

若不是充滿了這憐憫，大地也就無法維繫存在。

1:1514

Ἀμέλει καὶ οἱ οὐρανοὶ οὐκ ἄν ποτε συν έστησαν, εἰ μὴ τῷ λόγῳ αὐτοῦ διεκρατοῦντο, καὶ μὴν καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις αὐτῶν, τουτέστιν αἱ θεῖαι καὶ λο γικαί

Indeed, the heavens too would never have come to exist, had they not been sustained by His word, and likewise also their powers, that is, the divine and rational powers.

誠然，諸天若不是靠祂的話得以維持，也絕不能存在；它們的萬象，也就是那屬神且有理性的諸能力，亦是如此。

1:1515

[Ἀγαπᾷ οὖν ἐλεημοσύνην ἐπὶ τῶν μετανοούντων·

[He loves mercy, then, toward those who repent;

〔於是，祂向悔改的人施行憐憫；

1:1516

ἀγαπᾷ δὲ κρίσιν ἐπὶ τῶν ἀνενδότων

but He loves judgment toward those who do not relent.

卻向那不肯悔改的人施行公義的審判。

1:1517

Τοιοῦτον δὲ καὶ ὁ Ἡσαΐας λέγει τῷ Θεῷ·

Something similar Isaiah also says to God:

以賽亞也向神說過類似的話：

1:1518

Ὅτι ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη σου εἰς σταθμόν·

'For Your mercy is by measure';

『因為你的憐憫是按分量而施的』；

1:1519

καὶ γὰρ κἀκεῖνος τὴν μετὰ κρίσεως ἐλεημοσύνην παρίστησι, ζυγῷ καὶ ἀριθμῷ κατὰ τὴν ἑκάστου ἀξίαν ἀντιμετρούμενος.] Τῷ λόγῳ Κυρίου οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἐστερεώθησαν

for he too presents mercy joined with judgment, measured out by scale and number according to each one's worth.] By the word of the Lord the heavens were established,

因為他也表明：憐憫與公義的審判是相合的，按著各人的價值，以天平與數目來衡量分配。〕諸天藉主的話而堅立，

1:1520

Καὶ τῷ πνεύ ματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐ τῶν

and all their host by the breath of His mouth.

其萬象也藉祂口中的氣息而成。

1:1521

Στόμα Θεοῦ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον λέγει·

By 'mouth of God' he means the Holy Spirit;

所謂『神的口』，指的就是聖靈；

1:1522

οἱ γὰρ προφῆται δι' αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντες ἔλεγον·

for the prophets, speaking through Him, said:

因為眾先知藉著祂說話時曾說：

1:1523

Ὅτι τὸ στόμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησε ταῦτα

'For the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.'

『因為這是主的口親自說的。』

1:1524

Συνάγων ὡσεὶ ἀσκὸν ὕδατα θαλάσσης

Gathering the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin.

祂將海水聚集，好像盛在皮袋裡一樣。

1:1525

Προσ. καλούμενος, φησὶ, τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης, καθάπερ ἐν ἀσκῷ τινι, ταῖς νεφέλαις ἐπισυνέχει·

Calling forth, he says, the water of the sea, He confines it within the clouds as in a kind of wineskin;

他說：祂召喚海水，將其收攏於雲中，彷彿裝在皮袋裡一般；

1:1526

Ὁ προκαλούμενος τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θα λάσσης, καὶ ἐκχέων αὐτὸ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς·

He who calls forth the water of the sea, and pours it out upon the face of all the earth;

祂召喚海水，又將其傾倒在全地的表面；

1:1527

Ἀνάγων νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς

bringing up clouds from the ends of the earth.

使雲霧從地極上騰。

1:1528

Τιθεὶς ἐν θησαυροῖς ἀβύσσους

laying up the depths in storehouses.

將深淵收存在庫房中。

1:1529

Καὶ τὰς ἀβύσσους, φησὶ, καθάπερ ἐν θησαυροῖς σφραγίζει, ἵνα μὴ ἀναβλύζουσαι ἐπικλύσωσι τὴν ξηράν

And the depths, he says, He seals up as in storehouses, lest, gushing forth, they should flood the dry land.

他說：祂將深淵封存，彷彿收在庫房中，免得它們湧溢氾濫，淹沒了乾地。

1:1530

Φοβηθήτω τὸν Κύριον πᾶσα ἡ γῆ

Let all the earth fear the Lord.

願全地都敬畏主。

1:1531

Μηκέτι, φησὶ, τοῖς δαιμονίοις προσαγέτω ἡ γῆ τὸ σέβας

Let the earth, he says, no longer offer worship to demons.

他說：願大地不再向鬼魔獻上敬拜。

1:1532

Ἀπ' αὐ τοῦ δὲ σαλευθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην

And let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of Him.

願世上一切的居民都因祂而戰慄敬畏。

1:1533

Ἀκούοντες, φησὶν, αὐτοῦ οἱ τὴν οἰκουμένην οἰκοῦντες ἄνθρωποι, τῆς προτέρας στά σεως ἧς εἶχον εἰδωλολατροῦντες, δηλονότι σαλευθή τωσαν τῷ ἰδίῳ δημιουργῷ ὑπακούοντες

Hearing Him, he says, let the men who inhabit the world be shaken from their former standing, in which they lived as idolaters, so that they may evidently be moved to obey their own Creator.

他說：願住在世上的人聽見祂，就從先前拜偶像的舊立場中被震動離開，明顯地轉而順服自己的創造主。

1:1534

Ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπε καὶ ἐγενήθησαν, αὐτὸς ἐνετεί λατο, καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν

For He spoke, and they came to be; He commanded, and they were created.

因為祂說有，就有；祂命立，就立。

1:1535

Ἡ μὲν γένησις τὴν τῶν λο γικῶν οὐσιώδη δηλοῖ·

'Coming to be' denotes the substantial origin of rational beings;

『成有』一詞，指的是有理性者在本質上的起源；

1:1536

ἡ δὲ κτίσις τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ χείρονος ἐπὶ τὸ κρεῖττον σημαίνει μεταβολήν

while 'creation' signifies the change from the worse to the better.

而『受造』一詞，則指從較差轉變為更美的改變。

1:1537

Εἴ τις γὰρ ἐν Χριστῷ καινὴ κτίσις

'For if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.'

『若有人在基督裡，他就是新造的人。』

1:1538

Κύριος διασκεδάζει βουλὰς ἐθνῶν

The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations.

主使列邦的謀算歸於無有。

1:1539

Ἀθετεῖ δὲ λογισμοὺς λαῶν, καὶ ἀθετεῖ βουλὰς ἀρχόντων

He brings to nothing the thoughts of the peoples, and He brings to nothing the counsels of rulers.

祂廢棄萬民的心思，也廢棄首領的謀算。

1:1540

Ἀπράκτους γὰρ ἐπιβουλὰς πάν των ἔθηκε τῶν Ἰουδαίων, τριήμερος ἀναστήσας

For He rendered ineffective the plots of all the Jews, by rising on the third day.

因為祂藉著第三日復活，使猶太人一切的陰謀都歸於徒然。

1:1541

Τοῦτο γὰρ ἦν ὃ καὶ βούλεται, ὅπερ καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει

For this is what he also wills, which likewise remains forever.

因為這正是他所願的，也是永遠常存的。

1:1542

Λογισμοὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν

'The thoughts of his heart unto generation and generation.'

「他心中的意念，直到萬代。」

1:1543

Τὰ δόγματα, φησὶν, ἃ βεβούλευται καὶ εἰς τὸν παρόντα αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν μέλλοντα

The decrees, he says, which he has resolved upon, both for the present age and for the age to come.

他說，就是他所定意的教義，無論在今世或來世都是如此。

1:1544

Λογισμοὶ Θεοῦ αἱ κατάλληλοι διακοσμήσεις·

The thoughts of God are the fitting dispositions of all things.

神的意念，就是那些相稱的安排。

1:1545

καρδία δὲ τὸ ἀπό κρυφον τῆς οὐσίας

and the heart is the hidden depth of his essence.

而心，就是本質中隱密的部分。

1:1546

Μακάριον τὸ ἔθνος οὗ ἐστὶ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐ τοῦ

'Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.'

「以耶和華為神的，那國是有福的。」

1:1547

Χριστὸν πιστεύοντας ἐν τούτοις μα καρίους ἀποκαλεῖ

By these words he calls those who believe in Christ blessed.

他藉此稱那些信基督的人為有福。

1:1548

[ Ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ Κύριος

'The Lord looked down from heaven...'

「耶和華從天上垂看」

1:1549

Εἶπεν, ἐπ έβλεψεν, ἵνα μή τις αὐτὸν ἀγνοεῖν οἰηθῇ τὰ παρὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τολμώμενα.] [ Ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου αὐτοῦ

He said 'he looked down,' lest anyone should think him ignorant of the things men dare to do. 'From his prepared dwelling place...'

他說「垂看」，免得有人以為他不知道世人所敢行的事。「從他預備的居所」

1:1550

Ἤτοι ἡτοιμασμένου, εὐτρεπισμένου

That is, made ready, prepared beforehand.

也就是已經預備好、安排妥當的。

1:1551

Οἶκος γὰρ] ὥσπερ Θεοῦ ἀποκεκλήρωται ὁ οὐρανός.] Ὁ πλάσας καταμόνας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν

'For heaven has been allotted, as it were, as the house of God.' 'He who fashioned their hearts, each one alone...'

「因為天彷彿是分給神作居所的。」「那分別造成他們各人心的」

1:1552

Μό νος, φησὶν, ὁ Θεὸς οἶδε τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὰς καρδίας

Only God, he says, knows the hearts of men.

他說，惟獨神知道人的心。

1:1553

Τί διαλογίζεσθε πονηρὰ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν; Ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμέ νους αὐτόν

'Why do you reason evil things in your hearts?' 'Behold, the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him.'

「你們心裡為何懷著惡念？」「看哪，耶和華的眼目看顧敬畏他的人」

1:1554

Ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἡ παντοπτικὴ αὐτοῦ δύναμις·

The eyes of the Lord are his all-seeing power.

耶和華的眼目，就是他那洞察一切的能力。

1:1555

ἢ πολλάκις ὁ Υἱὸς καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα, ὡς ἐν μέσῳ δύο φώτων ὁ Πατὴρ τῶν φώτων

or often they signify the Son and the Spirit, the Father of lights being as it were in the midst of two lights.

又或者常指聖子與聖靈，如同眾光之父居於兩道光之間。

1:1556

Καὶ διαθρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λιμῷ

'And to nourish them in famine.'

「並在饑荒中使他們得以存活」

1:1557

Ἐν καιρῷ, φησὶ, διωγμοῦ, μὴ συνισταμένων τῶν νοητῶν τροφῶν, αὐ τὸς ὁ Κύριος διὰ Πνεύματος ἁγίου θρέψει αὐτούς

In the time of persecution, he says, when the spiritual foods are not to be had, the Lord himself will nourish them through the Holy Spirit.

他說，在逼迫的時候，屬靈的糧食無處可得，主自己必藉聖靈餵養他們。

1:1558

Ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὑπομένει τῷ Κυρίῳ

'But our soul waits upon the Lord.'

「我們的心等候耶和華」

1:1559

Ὡς ἤδη δεδειγμένοι τὴν εἰς αὐτὸν πεποίθησιν προβάλλονται

As having already given proof of it, they set forth their confidence in him.

既已顯明過了，他們便提出對他的信賴。

1:1560

ἀπεστάλθαι δὲ εἶπε παρὰ τοῦ Σαοὺλ, ὡς καὶ τὴν ῥομφαίαν αἰτῆσαι τοῦ Γολιάθ

He said that he had been sent by Saul, inasmuch as he even asked for the sword of Goliath.

他說自己是掃羅所差遣的，甚至還求取歌利亞的刀。

1:1561

Ἐπεὶ τοίνυν ἄλλα μὲν εἶπεν, ἄλλα δὲ ἐφρό νει, ἀναγέγραπται τὸ ἠλλοιωκέναι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ

Since, then, he said one thing but thought another, it is recorded that he changed his countenance.

既然他口裡說的與心裡想的不同，經上便記載他改變了自己的面容。

1:1562

Ἄδει δὲ τὸν ψαλμὸν τῷ νέῳ λαῷ, διδασκαλίαν εἰσηγησάμενος τῆς πνευματικῆς καὶ εὐαγγε λικῆς λατρείας

He sings this psalm to the new people, setting forth a teaching of spiritual and evangelical worship.

他向新的子民唱這篇詩，闡明了屬靈與福音敬拜的教訓。

1:1563

Εὐλογήσω τὸν Κύριον ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ

'I will bless the Lord at all times.'

「我要時時稱頌耶和華」

1:1564

Ἐν τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐπαινεθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου

'My soul shall glory in the Lord.'

「我的心必因耶和華誇耀」

1:1565

Εἰ καὶ ἄξιος ἐπαίνου τυγχάνω εὑρεθέντος τινὸς καλοῦ ἐν ταῖς ἐμαῖς πράξεσιν, τοῦτο οὐκ ἐμοὶ, ἀλλὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἀναθετέον·

Even if I chance to be worthy of praise, some good having been found in my deeds, this must be ascribed not to me, but to God.

縱使我配得稱讚，我的行為中若有些良善被發現，這也不當歸於我，而當歸於神。

1:1566

αὐτὸς ἐμὲ καὶ πεποίηκε περιφανῆ, καὶ ποιήσει περίβλεπτον

It is he who has made me renowned, and who will make me admired.

是他使我聞名，也必使我受人矚目。

1:1567

Ἀκουσάτωσαν πραεῖς, καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν

'Let the meek hear, and be glad.'

「謙卑人聽見就要喜樂」

1:1568

Τὴν ἐμοὶ γεγενημένην παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου σωτηρίαν πᾶς δίκαιος ἀκηκοὼς εὐφρανθείη

Let every righteous man rejoice on hearing of the salvation that has come to me from the Lord.

願每一個義人聽見主向我所成就的救恩，就歡喜快樂。

1:1569

Ὅτι δὴ σώζει τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπ' αὐτὸν, οὐκ ἀνέχεται μόνος ὑφῆναι τὸν ὕμνον, ἀλλὰ τοὺς κοινωνοὺς τῆς πραότητος, κοινωνοὺς ποιεῖται τῆς ὑμνῳδίας

For since he indeed saves those who hope in him, he cannot bear to weave this hymn alone, but makes those who share in meekness sharers also in the hymn of praise.

因為既然他確實拯救那仰望他的人，詩人便不甘獨自編織這頌歌，而是使那些同有謙卑之德的人，也一同分享這讚美之詩。

1:1570

Μεγαλύνατε τὸν Κύριον σὺν ἐμοὶ, καὶ ὑψώσο μεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐπιτοαυτό

'Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.'

「你們與我當稱耶和華為大，讓我們一同高舉他的名」

1:1571

Ὡς μὴ ἐξαρκῶν τὰ μεγαλεῖα ἐξαγγεῖλαι τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰς τοῦτο αὐτὸ ὡς περισυλλαμβάνεσθαι καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους ἀξιοῖ καὶ συμ πράττειν

As if he alone were not sufficient to proclaim the greatness of God, he judges it right that others too should be gathered in for this very task and join in the work.

彷彿他一人不足以宣揚神的偉大，他便認為理當召集他人，一同參與這工作。

1:1572

Προσέλθετε πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ φωτίσθητε

'Come to him, and be enlightened.'

「你們來就近他，便得光照」

1:1573

Ἀφ' ὧν ἐδέξατο πεποιθὼς, καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους εἰς τοῦτο ἀνάγει

From the confidence he himself received, he leads others also to the same end.

他因所領受的而確信，於是也引導他人歸向這同一目標。

1:1574

Οὗτος ὁ πτωχὸς ἐκέκραξε, καὶ ὁ Κύριος εἰσ ήκουσεν αὐτόν

'This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him.'

「這困苦人呼求，耶和華就垂聽」

1:1575

Μάθετε, φησὶν, ἐκ τῶν κατ' ἐμὲ θαῤῥεῖν τῷ τῶν ὅλων Θεῷ

Learn, he says, from what has happened to me, to trust in the God of all.

他說，你們當從我的遭遇學會信靠萬有之神。

1:1576

Εὐτελῆ γὰρ ὄντα με καὶ προβατέα τῆς οἰκείας προμηθείας ἠξίωσε, καὶ κρείτ τονα τῶν πολεμούντων ἀπέφηνε

For though I was a lowly shepherd, he deemed me worthy of his own providence, and showed me superior to those who warred against me.

因為雖然我不過是個卑微的牧童，他仍看我配得他的眷顧，並使我勝過那些與我爭戰的人。

1:1577

Παρεμβαλεῖ ἄγγελος Κυρίου κύκλῳ τῶν φοβου μένων αὐτὸν, καὶ ῥύσεται αὐτούς

'The angel of the Lord will encamp round about those who fear him, and will deliver them.'

「耶和華的使者在敬畏他的人四圍安營，搭救他們」

1:1578

Τοῦτο συμφωνεῖ καὶ τοῦ Ἀποστόλου τοῖς ῥήμασι·

This agrees also with the words of the Apostle.

這也與使徒的話相符。

1:1579

περὶ γὰρ τῶν ἀγ γέλων οὗτός φησιν·

For concerning the angels he says:

因為論到天使，他這樣說：

1:1580

Οὐχὶ πάντες εἰσὶ λειτουργικὰ πνεύματα εἰς λειτουργίαν ἀποστελλόμενα διὰ τοὺς μέλλοντας κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν

'Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?'

「豈不都是服役的靈，奉差遣為那將要承受救恩的人效力嗎？」

1:1581

Οὕτω καὶ ὁ μακάριος Ἰακὼβ προσευχόμενός φησιν·

Thus also the blessed Jacob says, in prayer:

同樣，蒙福的雅各在禱告中也這樣說：

1:1582

Ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ ῥυσάμενός με ἐκ πάντων τῶν κακῶν μου

'The angel who delivered me from all my evils...'

「那救贖我脫離一切禍患的天使」

1:1583

Οὕτω καὶ ὁ πατριάρχης Ἀβραὰμ πρὸς τὸν θαυμάσιον οἰκέτην ἔφη·

Thus also the patriarch Abraham said to his admirable servant:

同樣，族長亞伯拉罕也對那位可敬的僕人說：

1:1584

Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ πρὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ λήψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ἰσαὰκ ἐκεῖθεν

'The Lord God will send his angel before your face, and you shall take a wife for my son Isaac from there.'

「耶和華神必差遣他的使者在你前面引路，你就可以從那裡為我兒子以撒娶妻」

1:1585

Οὕτω καὶ ὁ μακάριος λέγει Ζαχαρίας·

Thus also the blessed Zachariah says:

同樣，蒙福的撒迦利亞也這樣說：

1:1586

Γεύσασθε, καὶ ἴδετε, ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ Κύριος

'Taste and see that the Lord is good.'

「你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善」

1:1587

Τοῦ ἀληθινοῦ ἄρτου, φησὶ, γεύσασθε, τοῦ καταβάντος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ

Taste, he says, of the true bread that came down from heaven.

他說，你們要嘗那從天降下的真糧。

1:1588

Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὃς ἐλπίζει ἐπ' αὐτόν·

'Blessed is the man who hopes in him.'

「倚靠他的人便為有福」

1:1589

ἕξει γὰρ τὴν μέλλουσαν ζωήν

for he shall possess the life to come.

因為他必得著那將來的生命。

1:1590

Πλούσιοι ἐπτώχευσαν καὶ ἐπείνασαν

'The rich became poor and hungered.'

Οἱ δὲ ἐκζητοῦντες τὸν Κύ ριον οὐκ ἐλαττωθήσονται παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ

'But those who seek the Lord shall not be lacking in any good thing.'

「但尋求耶和華的，什麼好處都不缺」

1:1592

Τὸν ἕτερον λέγει τὸν τῶν ἐθνῶν

He speaks of the other kind, that of the Gentiles.

他指的是另一種情況，就是外邦人的情形。

φόβον Κυρίου δι δάξω ὑμᾶς

εἰρήνην ἐπιδιώκειν καὶ ἀντέχεσθαι αὐτῆς

to pursue peace and cling to it.

要追求和睦，並持守不離。

1:1599

Τούτων δὲ τὴν ἐπιτήδευσιν ζωὴν εἶναι λέγει καὶ ἡμέρας ἀγαθάς

And the practice of these things, he says, constitutes life and good days.

他說，實行這些事就是生命，也是美好的日子。

Ἔκκλινον ἀπὸ κακοῦ, καὶ ποίησον ἀγαθόν·

'Turn away from evil, and do good.'

「你要離惡行善」

1:1601

ζήτησον εἰρήνην, καὶ δίωξον αὐτήν

「尋求和睦，一心追趕」

1:1602

Τὸ, ἔκκλινον ἀπὸ κακοῦ, ὁ φόβος διδάσκει·

'Turn away from evil' — this fear teaches.

「離惡」，這是敬畏所教導的。

1:1603

τὸ δὲ, ποίησον ἀγα θὸν, ἡ ἀγάπη

but 'do good' — this love teaches.

而「行善」，則是愛所教導的。

1:1604

Ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους, καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν

'The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their supplication.'

「耶和華的眼目看顧義人，他的耳朵聽他們的呼求」

1:1605

Μέγαν τῇ ἐπιτηδεύσει τῆς ἀρε τῆς ἀποδέδωκε μισθὸν, τὸ ἐπόπτην ἔχειν Θεόν

He has assigned a great reward to the practice of virtue: to have God as one's overseer.

他將莫大的賞賜賜給那實踐美德的人，就是有神作為鑒察者。

1:1606

Φυλάσσει Κύριος πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν

'The Lord keeps all their bones.'

「耶和華保守他們一切的骨頭」

1:1607

Ὀστᾶ φησι τὰς τῆς ψυχῆς δυνάμεις

By 'bones' he means the powers of the soul.

他所說的「骨頭」，是指靈魂的各種能力。

1:1608

Αὐτὰ δέ εἰσι δικαιοσύ νη, καρτερία, εὐσέβεια καὶ πᾶσα, ὡς εἰπεῖν, ἀρετή

These are righteousness, fortitude, piety, and, so to speak, every virtue.

這些就是公義、堅忍、虔敬，以及可以說是一切的美德。

1:1609

Θάνατος ἁμαρτωλῶν πονηρός

'The death of sinners is evil.'

「惡人之死甚為兇惡」

1:1610

Τὸν τῆς ψυχῆς θάνατόν φησιν, ὃν καὶ διαδέξεται πῦρ αἰώνιον, σκό τος ἐξώτερον, ἀκοίμητος σκώληξ, κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὀδυρμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων

He speaks of the death of the soul, which shall be followed by eternal fire, outer darkness, the unsleeping worm, weeping and gnashing of teeth.

他指的是靈魂的死，隨之而來的是永火、外邊的黑暗、不止息的蟲、哀哭切齒。

1:1611

Γέεννα γὰρ αὐτοὺς καὶ σκότος διαδέχεται

For Gehenna and darkness shall succeed them.

「因為地獄之火與黑暗必接續臨到他們。」

1:1612

Ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ πεποιθότος ἐπὶ Θεὸν καὶ πολεμου μένου ὑπὸ τῶν ἀφανῶν δυνάμεων τὰ προκείμενα λέγεται, ἢ καὶ ἐκ τοῦ χοροῦ τῶν ἀποστόλων

The passage before us is spoken in the person of one who trusts in God and is warred against by the unseen powers, or else in the person of the choir of the apostles.

以下經文乃是以那信靠神、卻遭不可見的權勢爭戰之人的口吻說的，或也是以眾使徒的合唱之口吻說的。

1:1613

Εἰσάγεται δὲ καὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ Χριστοῦ, τὰ ἐπὶ τῷ πάθει παρὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων εἰς αὐτὸν γεγενημένα διηγουμένου, πρὸς ὑπομονὴν καὶ καρτερίαν τῶν πολεμουμένων διὰ Θεόν

The person of Christ is also introduced, recounting the things done to him by the Jews at the time of his passion, for the endurance and steadfastness of those who are warred against for God's sake.

這裡也引入了基督的位格，敘述猶太人在祂受難時對祂所行的事，為要使那些為神的緣故而受爭戰的人得以忍耐、堅忍。

1:1614

Τῷ προσώπῳ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἁρμόσει ἡ πρόσοδος

This opening will suit the person of the apostles.

這開場之言正適合眾使徒的口吻。

1:1615

Τοὺς Ἰουδαίους φησὶν, οἳ μὴ ἔχοντες ἐν ἑαυτοῖς εἰρήνην, πολέμους ἔχουσι, καὶ πολεμοῦσι Χριστὸν, ὅς ἐστιν εἰρήνη ἡμῶν

He speaks of the Jews, who, not having peace within themselves, have wars, and make war on Christ, who is our peace.

他所指的是猶太人，他們裡面沒有平安，反倒有爭戰，並且與那作我們和平的基督爭戰。

1:1616

(.) Ἐπιλαβοῦ ὅπλου καὶ θυρεοῦ, καὶ ἀνάστηθι εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου

'Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to help me.'

「拿起盾牌和大盾，起來幫助我。」

1:1617

Ὅπλον καὶ θυρεὸν καὶ ῥομφαίαν τιμωρητικὰς δυνάμεις αἰνίττεται, τὰς ἐκπεμπομένας παρὰ Κυρίου πρὸς ἐπικουρίαν τῶν δικαίων

By shield and buckler and sword he darkly signifies the punitive powers sent forth by the Lord to aid the righteous.

盾牌、大盾與刀劍，暗指那些由主差遣、用以幫助義人的懲罰性能力。

1:1618

Τοῦτό σε, φησὶν, αἰτῶ εἰπεῖν τῇ ψυχῇ μου, ὡς γε νήσῃ αὐτῇ βοηθός

This, he says, is what I ask you to say to my soul, that you may become its helper.

他說：我求你對我的靈魂說這話，好叫你成為它的幫助者。

1:1619

Ἀποστραφήτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω

'Let them be turned back.'

「願他們轉身退後。」

1:1620

Εὐεργετοῦνται οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρετῆς ἐπὶ τὴν κακίαν ὁδεύοντες, ἐὰν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ἐπιστραφῶσιν

Those who journey from virtue toward vice are benefited, if they turn back.

那些從德行走向惡行的人，若肯轉身退回，仍是蒙福的。

1:1621

Ἐλθέτω αὐτῷ ἡ παγὶς ἣν οὐ γινώσκει, καὶ ἡ θήρα ἣν ἔκρυψεν συλλαβέτω αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐν τῇ παγίδι πεσεῖται ἐν αὐτῇ

'Let the snare which he does not know come upon him, and let the trap which he hid catch him, and let him fall into that very snare.'

「願他所不知道的網羅臨到他，願他所暗設的陷阱捉住他，願他自己落在自己所設的網羅裡。」

1:1622

Ἀντεστράφη γὰρ εἰς κε φαλὰς πονηρῶν ἡ παγίς

For the snare has been turned back upon the heads of the wicked.

因為那網羅已經翻轉過來，落在惡人自己的頭上。

1:1623

Ἡ δὲ ψυχή μου ἀγαλλιάσεται ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ

'But my soul shall exult in the Lord.'

「而我的靈魂必因主歡欣。」

1:1624

Οἱ μὲν οὖν τὴν πάγην ἐξηρτυκότες, καὶ τὸ τῆς δια φθορᾶς κατὰ τοῦ πάντων ἡμῶν Σωτῆρος Χριστοῦ συνθέντες σκευώρημα, τὰς τῆς εἰς αὐτὸν παροινίας. εἰσπραχθήσονται δίκας, κατά γε τοὺς ἀρτίως ἡμῖν εἰρημένους τρόπους·

Those, then, who set the trap and contrived the scheme of destruction against Christ, the Savior of us all, shall pay the penalty for their outrage against him, in the manner just now stated by us;

那些設下網羅、圖謀毀滅我們眾人的救主基督之詭計的人，必按我們方才所說的方式，為他們對祂的凌辱而受懲罰；

1:1625

ἡ δέ γε ἐμὴ ψυχὴ, φησὶν, ἔξω παντὸς ἔσται δεινοῦ διηνεκές·

but my soul, he says, shall forever be outside of every terror;

但我的靈魂，他說，卻要永遠脫離一切可怕的事；

1:1626

ἤγουν ἀκατάληκτον ἔχουσα τὸ χαίρειν ἐπὶ Θεῷ, καὶ κατευφραίνεσθαι λίαν ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ αὐτοῦ

that is, having unceasing joy in God, and rejoicing exceedingly in his salvation.

也就是說，在神裡面有不止息的喜樂，並因祂的救恩而大大歡欣。

1:1627

Ἀναστάντες μοι μάρτυρες ἄδικοι, ἃ οὐκ ἐγί νωσκον ἠρώτων με

'Unjust witnesses rose up against me; they questioned me about things I did not know.'

「不義的見證人起來，將我所不知道的事問我。」

1:1628

Ἐντεῦθεν εἰσάγεται τὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ πρόσωπον παρὰ τῇ κρίσει τῶν ἀρχιερέων συκοφαντουμένου

From here the person of Christ is introduced, being falsely accused at the tribunal of the chief priests.

從這裡開始，引入了基督的位格，祂在祭司長的審判席前受到誣告。

1:1629

Ἀνταπεδίδοσάν μοι πονηρὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀτεκνίαν τῇ ψυχῇ μου

'They repaid me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.'

「他們以惡報善，使我的靈魂孤獨無兒。」

1:1630

Τοῦτό φησι, διὰ τὸ ἀν αξίους αὐτοὺς ὀφθῆναι τοῦ κληθῆναι τέκνα Θεοῦ·

He says this because they were shown to be unworthy of being called children of God;

祂這樣說，是因為他們顯明自己不配被稱為神的兒女；

1:1631

ὅπερ μάλιστα ἐγνώριζεν αὐτὸς κατὰ τὸ, Ποσάκις ἠθέλη σα ἐπισυνάγειν τὰ τέκνα σου!

which he himself made especially known by the saying, 'How often would I have gathered your children!'

這正是祂自己所特別表明的，正如經上所說：「我多少次願意聚集你的兒女！」

1:1632

Ἐγὼ δὲ, ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς παρενοχλεῖν μοι, ἐν εδυόμην σάκκον

'But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth.'

「但我，當他們攪擾我的時候，就披上麻衣。」

1:1633

Ἐπένθει γὰρ αὐτῶν τὴν ἀπώλειαν, ὡς καὶ λυπεῖσθαι, καὶ ἀδημονεῖν, καὶ δακρύειν, καὶ προσεύχεσθαι ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν

For he mourned their destruction, so that he even grieved, was distressed, wept, and prayed for their sin.

因為祂為他們的滅亡而哀慟，甚至憂傷、煩亂、哭泣，並為他們的罪禱告。

1:1634

Καὶ ἐταπείνουν ἐν νηστείᾳ τὴν ψυχήν μου

'And I humbled my soul with fasting.'

「我以禁食刻苦己心。」

1:1635

Βε βαιῶν τὴν ἐνανθρώπησιν, καὶ νηστείας οὐκ ἀπέσχετο

Confirming his incarnation, he did not abstain even from fasting.

為要確證祂道成肉身之事，祂連禁食也不迴避。

1:1636

Καὶ ἡ προσευχή μου εἰς κόλπον μου ἀποστραφή σεται

'And my prayer shall turn back into my own bosom.'

「我的禱告必歸回到我自己懷中。」

1:1637

Τοῦτο σημαντικὸν εἴη τοῦ ἐναπομεῖναι ἐκεί νους τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ

This would signify that they remained there in their sin.

這句話乃是表示他們仍舊留在自己的罪中。

1:1638

Οὐδὲν γὰρ ὠφελήθησαν, φησὶ, τῇ ὑπερβολῇ τῆς ἀγνοίας, τὴν προσευχὴν ὥσπερ ἐπανα κάμψαι ποιήσαντες

For they gained nothing, he says, by the excess of their ignorance, having made the prayer, as it were, turn back.

他說：他們因過度的無知，一無所得，反倒使那禱告彷彿轉回了原處。

1:1639

Ὡς πλησίον, ὡς ἀδελφὸν ἡμέτερον, οὕτως εὐ ηρέστουν

'As a neighbor, as our own brother, so I was well-pleasing.'

「我看待他如同朋友，如同我自己的弟兄一樣。」

1:1640

Ὥσπερ ἀδελφὸν, φησὶ, καὶ φίλον, οὕτως ἐσπούδαζον εὐεργετεῖν αὐτοὺς, βουλόμενος θερα πεύειν·

As a brother, he says, and a friend, so I was eager to do good to them, wishing to heal/care for them;

他說：我如同對待弟兄和朋友一般，急切地想要善待他們，願意醫治看顧他們；

1:1641

διὸ καὶ ἐπένθουν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν

therefore I also mourned on their behalf.

因此我也為他們哀慟。

1:1642

Καὶ κατ' ἐμοῦ εὐφράνθησαν, καὶ συνήχθησαν

'But they rejoiced against me, and gathered together.'

「他們卻因我遭難而歡喜，並且聚集在一起。」

1:1643

Ταῦτά μοι, φησὶ, τῆς ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ὀδύνης ἀπεδίδουν τὰ ὀψόνια

These things, he says, they repaid me as wages for my grief on their behalf.

他說：這就是他們為我因他們所受的痛苦，所付出的報償。

1:1644

Συνήχθησαν ἐπ' ἐμὲ μάστιγες, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων

'Scourges were gathered together against me, and I knew it not.'

「鞭笞聚集起來攻擊我，我卻不知道緣故。」

1:1645

Μαστίζοντές με, φησὶ, οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον οὐδὲ εὕρισκον αἰτίαν οὐδεμίαν κατ' ἐμοῦ

Those scourging me, he says, did not know, nor could they find any cause against me.

他說：那些鞭打我的人，其實並不知情，也找不出任何加害我的緣由。

1:1646

Ἐμερίσθη γὰρ τὸ πλῆθος, ὡς ὁ εὐαγγελιστής φησι, τῶν μὲν ἀγαθὸν εἶναι λεγόντων, τῶν δὲ πονηρόν

For the multitude was divided, as the evangelist says, some saying he was good, others that he was a deceiver.

因為群眾分裂了，正如福音書作者所說，有人說祂是好人，也有人說祂是惡人。

1:1647

Καὶ τούτων γινομένων, φησὶν, οὐ κατενύγησαν, οὐδὲ συνῆκαν κατὰ τίνος αἱ πράξεις

And while these things were happening, he says, they were not pricked in conscience, nor did they understand against whom their deeds were done.

他說：這些事發生的時候，他們並沒有心裡刺痛，也不明白自己的所作所為究竟是針對誰而發的。

1:1648

Τοῦτο δὲ οὐκ ἐγκαλῶν εἶπεν, ἀλλὰ ποθῶν τὴν βοήθειαν

But he said this not as an accusation, but out of longing for help.

祂說這話並非在指責，而是出於渴慕得著幫助。

1:1649

Πότε, φησὶν, ἐπιφαίνῃ καὶ ἐπ αμυνεῖς ἀδικουμένῳ; Ἀποκατάστησον τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ τῆς κα κουργίας αὐτῶν

When, he says, will you appear and defend the one who is wronged? Restore my soul from their evil-doing.

他說：你何時要顯現，為受屈的人伸冤呢？求你救我的靈魂脫離他們的惡行。

1:1650

Πάντα ὅσα πάσχει ἢ λέγει, ὑπὲρ τῆς ἡμετέρας σωτηρίας ποιεῖ, διὰ τὸ κατελθεῖν αὐ τὸν, ἤγουν τὸν Χριστὸν, καὶ σαρκωθῆναι ἐξ ἡμῶν

Everything he suffers or says, he does for our salvation, because he — that is, Christ — came down and was made flesh from us.

凡祂所受的苦、所說的話，都是為了我們的救恩，因為祂——就是基督——降臨，並從我們取了肉身。

1:1651

Ἀπὸ λεόντων τὴν μονογενῆ μου

'My only-begotten [soul] from the lions.'

「求你救我獨一的靈魂脫離獅子。」

1:1652

Λέοντάς φησι ἢ τὰς πονηρὰς καὶ ἀντικειμένας δυνάμεις, αἳ μόνον οὐ χὶ κατεβρυχήσαντο τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἢ τάχα που καὶ αὐ τοὺς τοὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων καθηγητάς

By lions he means either the evil and opposing powers, which all but roared to devour Christ, or perhaps also the very leaders of the Jews themselves.

祂以「獅子」指那些邪惡、敵對的權勢，牠們幾乎要咆哮吞噬基督；或許也可指猶太人的那些首領。

1:1653

Οὕτω γὰρ αὐτῶν διαμνημονεύει λέγων διὰ φωνῆς Ἱερεμίας·

For thus he calls them to mind, speaking through the voice of Jeremiah:

因為祂正是這樣藉耶利米的口提及他們，說：

1:1654

Ἐγενήθη ἡ κληρονομία μου ὡς λέων ἐν δρυμῷ·

'My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest;'

「我的產業向我如林中的獅子；」

1:1655

Μονογενῆ μὲν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν ὀνομάζει, τὸ μονογενὲς τιθεὶς ἀντὶ τοῦ ἠγαπημέ νην

He calls his own soul 'only-begotten,' using 'only-begotten' in place of 'beloved.'

祂稱自己的靈魂為「獨一的」，是以「獨一」代替「蒙愛的」之意。

1:1656

Ἀεὶ γάρ πώς ἐστιν ἐν ἀγάπῃ πλείστῃ τὸ μονο γενὲς ἐν τέκνοις

For somehow the only-begotten among children is always held in the greatest love.

因為在眾兒女中，那獨生的總是格外蒙受最深的愛。

1:1657

Οἱ μισοῦντές με δωρεὰν καὶ διανεύοντες ὀφθαλ μοῖς

'Those who hate me without cause, and wink with their eyes.'

「那無故恨我的人，以及那向我使眼色的人。」

1:1658

Ἀντὶ τοῦ, συντιθέντες δόλους

That is, in place of, 'devising deceits.'

這是說，即「圖謀詭詐」的意思。

1:1659

Ὅτι ἐμοὶ μὲν εἰρηνικὰ ἐλάλουν, καὶ ἐπ' ὀργὴν δόλους διελογίζοντο

'For to me they spoke peaceably, but devised deceits in their wrath.'

「因為他們對我說平安的話，心裡卻籌算怒氣中的詭詐。」

1:1660

καὶ, Ὅτι οἴδαμεν ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν διδάσκεις, καὶ ὅτι οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπου

And, 'For we know that you teach the truth, and that you do not regard the person of man.'

並且說：「我們知道你是誠實的，並不徇人的情面。」

1:1661

Καὶ ἐπλάτυναν ἐπ' ἐμὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν

'And they opened their mouth wide against me.'

「他們張大口攻擊我。」

1:1662

Τὰς βλασφημίας τὰς ἐπὶ τῷ σταυρῷ γινομένας φησίν

He speaks of the blasphemies uttered at the cross.

這是指在十字架上所發出的褻瀆之言。

1:1663

Εὖγε, εὖγε, εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν

'Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!'

「啊哈，啊哈，我們的眼睛看見了！」

1:1664

Ὡς κατ' εὐχὴν αὐτοῖς τοῦ πέρατος ἐκβεβηκότος, τὸ κρε μασθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ ξύλου

As though the outcome had turned out for them just as they wished — that he should be hanged upon the tree.

彷彿事情的結局正如他們所願——就是祂被掛在木頭上。

1:1665

Τοῦτο δὲ ποιοῦσι καὶ οἱ ἐπαγαλλόμενοι τῇ θλίψει τοῦ δικαίου

This is also what those do who exult over the affliction of the righteous.

凡因義人受苦難而歡欣的人，也都是這樣行的。

1:1666

Εἶδες, Κύριε, μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς, Κύριε, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ' ἐμοῦ

'You have seen it, O Lord; do not keep silence; O Lord, do not depart from me.'

「主啊，你已經看見了，求你不要靜默；主啊，求你不要遠離我。」

1:1667

Ἄνθρωπος γενόμενος ὁ μονογε νὴς τοῦ Θεοῦ Λόγος, οὐκ ἀποβαλὼν τὸ εἶναι Θεὸς, αἰτεῖ ὑπὲρ τῆς εἰς ἡμᾶς ἀδικίας γενομένης ὑπὸ τῶν δαιμόνων δικαστὴν γενόμενον τὸν Πατέρα, αἰτεῖ ἀπο σκορπίσαι τῶν ὑπερηφάνων τὴν ὕβριν

The only-begotten Word of God, having become man without casting off his being God, asks — concerning the injustice done to us by the demons — that the Father become judge; he asks that the insolence of the proud be scattered.

神的獨生道成了人，卻沒有捨棄祂為神的本質，祂為著那被鬼魔加諸我們的不義，祈求父作審判者；祂祈求驅散狂傲之人的凌辱。

1:1668

Οὕτω γὰρ οἱ μὲν εἰς αἰσχύνην ἀποστραφήσονται, φησὶν, οἱ δὲ ἀγαλ λιάσαιντο, τὰς ἐπὶ τῇ σωτηρίᾳ ἀνατιθέντες εὐχαρι στίας

For thus, he says, some shall be turned back to shame, while others shall exult, offering up thanksgivings for their salvation.

因為這樣，他說，有些人必轉向羞愧，另有些人卻要歡欣，為自己的救恩獻上感謝。

1:1669

Κατηγορίαν περιέχει ὁ παρὼν ψαλμὸς τῆς ὑπερηφανίας τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ τῆς κακίας ἔλεγχον·

The present psalm contains an accusation against the pride of the people of the Jews, and a reproof of their wickedness;

這篇詩篇包含了對猶太人民驕傲的控訴，以及對其邪惡的責備；

1:1670

καὶ μὴν καὶ ὑμνολογίαν τῶν δικαίων κρι μάτων, δι' ὧν ἐποίησε τὴν ὑπ' οὐρανόν·

and indeed also a hymn of the righteous judgments by which he made all that is under heaven;

同時也是一篇頌詞，頌讚祂藉以造成天下萬有的公義判斷；

1:1671

πρὸς δὲ τούτοις καὶ εὐχαριστίας πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα ὑπὲρ ὧν εὐηργέτησε διὰ Ἰησοῦ·

and besides these, also thanksgivings to the Father for the benefits he bestowed through Jesus;

此外，也是向父所獻的感謝，為著祂藉耶穌所施的恩惠；

1:1672

ἐφ' ἅπασι δὲ τούτοις εὐχὴν ἀσφαλιζομένην τοῦ μὴ πεσεῖν εἰς ὑπερηφανίαν

and over and above all these, a prayer securing against falling into pride.

並且在這一切之上，還有一篇祈求，為要保守自己不致陷入驕傲。

1:1673

Φησὶν ὁ παράνομος τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ

'The lawless man says within himself that he will sin.'

「不法之人心裡說，要犯罪。」

1:1674

Οἴεται, φησὶν, ὁ κακίᾳ συντεθραμμένος μη δένα θεωρεῖν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ κεκρυμμένα βουλεύ ματα

He who has been reared together with wickedness, he says, supposes that no one beholds the hidden counsels of his soul.

他說：那與邪惡一同長大的人，自以為沒有人看見他靈魂裡隱藏的計謀。

1:1675

Τὸ γὰρ, φησὶν, ἀντὶ τοῦ, ἡγεῖται ἢ ὑπολαμβάνει, τέθεικεν

For the word 'says,' he says, he has used in place of 'thinks' or 'supposes.'

他說：這裡的「說」字，乃是用來代替「以為」或「認定」之意。

1:1676

Αἴτιον δὲ τῆς τοιαύτης ἀναλγησίας τὸ μὴ δεδιέναι τὸν πάντα ἐφορῶντα δεσπότην

The cause of such callousness is his not fearing the Master who watches over all things.

這種麻木不仁的緣由，在於他不畏懼那鑒察萬事的主宰。

1:1677

Οὐκ ἔστι φόβος Θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ

'There is no fear of God before his eyes.'

「他眼中不怕神。」

1:1678

Ἅπαξ προθέμενος, φησὶ, τοῦ παρανομεῖν, ἔξω τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ τίθεται φόβον

Once he has resolved, he says, to break the law, he puts the fear of God outside of his eyes.

他說：他一旦決意要犯法，就將對神的畏懼撇在自己眼目之外。

1:1679

Τῷ γὰρ φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ

For by the fear of the Lord everyone turns away from evil.

因為人都因敬畏主而遠離惡事。

1:1680

Ὅτι ἐδόλωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ

'For he has dealt deceitfully in his own sight.'

「因為他在自己眼前行詭詐。」

1:1681

Ἑκὼν δὲ ταύτην ἔχει τὴν ἄγνοιαν, οὐ βουλόμενος λογιστεῦσαι τὰ πεπραγμένα, καὶ μισῆσαι τὰ κακῶς πεπραγμένα

He holds this ignorance willingly, being unwilling to take account of his deeds and to hate the things done wickedly.

他甘願懷有這樣的無知，不肯省察自己所行的，也不肯憎惡那些行惡的事。

1:1682

Τοῦ εὑρεῖν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ μισῆσαι

So as to find out his iniquity and hate it.

為要察出自己的罪孽，並加以憎惡。

1:1683

Οὐδὲ τοῦ το, φησὶ, λογίζεται, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς εὑρίσκει τὴν ἁμαρ τίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὑρὼν αὐτὴν, μισεῖ καὶ αὐτὴν καὶ αὐτόν

Nor does he consider this, he says, that God finds out his sin, and having found it, hates both it and him.

他說，這人也不思想這一點：神必查出他的罪，查出之後，便憎惡這罪，也憎惡他這個人。

1:1684

Τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνομία καὶ δό λος

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.

他口中的言語盡是罪孽詭詐。

1:1685

Ἀνομίαν μὲν, δι' ἃς ἐπήγαγον ὕβρεις Χριστῷ·

Iniquity, on account of the insults which they brought upon Christ;

罪孽，是指他們加在基督身上的凌辱；

1:1686

δόλον δὲ, ὅτι καὶ παγιδεύειν αὐτὸν βουλόμενοι, χρη στοῖς προσίεσαν λόγοις

and deceit, because, wishing to entrap him, they approached him with kindly words.

詭詐，是指他們想要陷害他，卻用和善的話語接近他。

1:1687

Οὐκ ἠβουλήθη συνιέναι τοῦ ἀγαθῦναι

He was not willing to understand, so as to do good.

他不肯明白，以致行善。

1:1688

Ἑκὼν, φησὶν, ἑαυτὸν ἔξωσε τοῦ εὐ πραγῆσαι

Willingly, he says, he thrust himself out of doing well.

他說，這人是甘願把自己排除在行善之外的。

1:1689

Ἀνομίαν διελογίσατο ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ·

He devised iniquity upon his bed;

他在床上圖謀罪孽；

1:1690

παρέστη πάσῃ ὁδῷ οὐκ ἀγαθῇ

he took his stand in every way that is not good.

他站在一切不善之道上。

1:1691

Τὸ ἄϋπνον αὐτῶν. τῆς εἰς Χριστὸν ἐπιβουλῆς σημαίνει

This signifies their sleeplessness in plotting against Christ.

這指的是他們謀害基督時徹夜不眠的光景。

1:1692

Ἀντὶ τοῦ, τὴν κακίαν οὐκ ἐμίσησε

That is, he did not hate wickedness.

意思是說：他並未憎惡邪惡。

1:1693

Κύριε, ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ τὸ ἔλεός σου

O Lord, your mercy is in heaven.

耶和華啊，祢的慈愛上及諸天；

1:1694

Καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν

And your truth reaches to the clouds.

祢的信實達到穹蒼。

1:1695

Ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ὡς ὄρη Θεοῦ

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.

祢的公義好像高山；

1:1696

Ἀληθεῖς, φησὶ, καὶ βεβαίας τὰς διὰ τῶν προφητῶν ἐπαγγελίας ἔδει ξας·

You have shown, he says, the promises made through the prophets to be true and sure;

他說：祢已顯明藉眾先知所發的應許都是真實可靠的；

1:1697

Ἔδειξας δὲ ταύτας ἀληθεῖς, πλῆθος δικαιοσύνης χορηγήσας τοσοῦτον, ὡς ὄρεσι παραβάλλεσθαι Θεοῦ

And you have shown these to be true by supplying such an abundance of righteousness that it may be compared to the mountains of God.

祢之所以顯明這些應許為真，是因祢賜下如此豐盛的公義，多得可與神的高山相比擬。

1:1698

Τὰ κρίματά σου ἄβυσσος πολλή

Your judgments are a great deep.

祢的判斷如同深淵。

1:1699

Τοσαύτην δὲ ἔχων ἀλήθειαν καὶ δικαιοσύνην, τίνος ἕνεκεν μακροθυμεῖς ἀγνοῶ·

But possessing such truth and righteousness, for what reason you are longsuffering I do not know;

但祢既有這樣的真理與公義，我卻不知道祢為何仍如此恆久忍耐；

1:1700

τὸ τῆς ἀβύσσου γὰρ ἀθεώρητον μιμεῖταί σου τὰ κρίματα·

for your judgments imitate the unfathomableness of the deep;

因為祢的判斷正如深淵那不可測見一般；

1:1701

καθάπερ γὰρ ἐκείνης ἀνθρώποις ἀθεώρητος ὁ βυθὸς, οὕτως ἀνέφικτος τῶν σῶν κριμάτων κατανόησις

for just as the depth of that deep is invisible to men, so also the understanding of your judgments is unattainable.

正如深淵的底部人所不能見，同樣，祢的判斷也是人的悟性所不能達到的。

1:1702

Ἀνθρώπους καὶ κτήνη σώσεις, Κύριε

Men and beasts you will save, O Lord.

耶和華啊，人民、牲畜，祢都救護。

1:1703

Περὶ τῶν δύο λαῶν εἰρηκὼς ὁ Ἀπόστολος, Συνέκλεισεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς πάντας εἰς ἀπείθειαν, ἵνα τοὺς πάντας σώσῃ, ἐπήγαγεν·

Speaking about the two peoples, the Apostle, having said, ‘God has shut up all in disobedience, that he might save all,’ added:

使徒論到這兩個民族，先說了：「神將眾人都圈在不順服之中，好使祂拯救眾人」，接著又說：

1:1704

Ὡς ἀνεξερεύνητα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ!

How unsearchable are his judgments!

祂的判斷何其難測！

1:1705

Καὶ ἐνταῦθα ὅμοιόν ἐστιν·

And here it is the same;

這裡的情形也是相似的；

1:1706

ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἔμελ λε τῶν δύο λαῶν τὴν σωτηρίαν διηγήσασθαι, οἳ καὶ σημαίνονται διὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ τῶν κτηνῶν·

for since he was about to recount the salvation of the two peoples, who are also signified by the men and the beasts;

因為既然他即將講述這兩個民族的救恩，而這兩者正是藉「人」與「牲畜」來表示的；

1:1707

ἀν θρώπων μὲν τῶν ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ ὡς κατηχουμένων ἐκ τοῦ νόμου, καὶ νοούντων τὰ διαφέροντα·

by men meaning those of Israel, as being instructed by the law and understanding what is superior;

「人」是指出於以色列的人，因他們受律法的教導，能明辨事物的優劣；

1:1708

κτηνῶν δὲ ὡς ἀλογωτέρων τῶν ἐξ ἐθνῶν·

and by beasts, those of the nations, as being more irrational.

而「牲畜」則是指出於外邦的人，因他們較為缺乏理性。

1:1709

παιδευθέντες γὰρ οἱ ἐξ Ἰουδαίων τὸ μυστήριον διὰ νόμου καὶ προφητῶν, ἐξέπεσον·

For those of the Jews, having been instructed in the mystery through the law and the prophets, fell away;

因為出於猶太人的人，雖曾藉律法與眾先知受教於這奧祕，卻仍然墮落失落；

1:1710

οἱ δὲ οὐδέποτε ἀκηκοότες οἱ ἐξ ἐθνῶν προσελήφθησαν·

while those of the nations, who had never heard it, were received.

而出於外邦、從未聽聞這奧祕的人，反倒被接納了。

1:1711

Τὰ κρί ματά σου ἄβυσσος πολλή

Your judgments are a great deep.

祢的判斷如同深淵。

1:1712

Ἀνθρώπους λέγει πάλιν, τοὺς τὴν λογικὴν ἀξίαν φυλάττοντας·

Again he means by men those who preserve their rational dignity;

這裡「人」再次是指那些持守其理性尊嚴的人；

1:1713

κτήνη δὲ, τοὺς εἰς γῆν κάτω νεύοντας, καὶ τὰ γήϊνα βοσκομένους φρο νήματα

and by beasts, those who bow down toward the earth and feed on earthly thoughts.

「牲畜」則是指那些俯向塵土、以世俗心思為糧的人。

1:1714

Οὐ μόνον οὖν δικαίους, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς εἰς σωτηρίαν ἐκάλεσεν

He called to salvation, therefore, not only the righteous but also sinners.

因此，祂所呼召得救的，不僅是義人，也包括罪人。

1:1715

Οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύ γων σου ἐλπιοῦσι

But the sons of men shall hope in the shelter of your wings.

世人必投靠在祢翅膀的蔭下。

1:1716

Τουτέστι, σκεπαστὴν καὶ βοηθόν σε ἕξουσι τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ λόγου, φησίν

That is, he says, they shall have you as protector and helper of the evangelic word.

意思是說，他們必得著祢，作為福音真道的庇護者與幫助者。

1:1717

Μεθυσθήσονται ἀπὸ πιότητος οἴκου σου, καὶ τὸν χειμάῤῥουν τῆς τρυφῆς σου ποτιεῖς αὐτούς

They shall be drunk with the fatness of your house, and you shall give them to drink of the torrent of your delight.

他們必因祢殿裡的肥甘得以飽足；祢也必叫他們喝祢那樂河的水。

1:1718

Χειμάῤῥους τρυφῆς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς κατὰ τὸ εἰρημέ νον·

The torrent of delight is Christ, according to what is said:

「樂河」指的就是基督，正如經上所說：

1:1719

Ἐκκλίνω ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ὡς χειμάῤῥους ἐπικλύ ζων δόξαν ἐθνῶν

I turn toward them like a torrent overflowing with the glory of the nations.

我要如漲溢的江河、湧流列國的榮耀那樣，轉向他們。

1:1720

Ἔστι δὲ καὶ πηγὴ ζωῆς καὶ φῶς ἐκ φωτός

And he is also the fountain of life and light from light.

祂也是生命的泉源，是出於光的光。

1:1721

Μὴ ἐλθέτω μοι ποῦς ὑπερηφανίας

Let not the foot of pride come to me.

不容驕傲人的腳踐踏我。

1:1722

Ἔξω τοῦ πά θους ἀξιοῖ γενέσθαι

He deems it worthy to be kept outside of this passion.

他祈求自己能被保守，脫離這種情慾之外。

1:1723

Καὶ χεὶρ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ σα λεύσαι με

And let not the hand of the sinner shake me.

也不容惡人的手驅逐我。

1:1724

Μηδὲ μετακινησάτω με, φησὶ, τῆς παρὰ σοὶ στάσεως πρᾶξις ἄτοπος

Nor let any improper act, he says, dislodge me from my standing before you.

他說：也不要讓任何不正當的行為，把我從祢面前的站立之地挪移開。

1:1725

ἐξ ἑκατέρων πείθων, ἔκ τε τῆς τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς ηὐτρεπισμένης ἐλπίδος, ἔκ τε τῆς τοῖς πονη ροῖς ἀποκειμένης κολάσεως

persuading from both considerations: from the hope prepared for the good, and from the punishment reserved for the wicked.

他從這兩方面加以勸勉：一是為善人所預備的盼望，一是為惡人所存留的刑罰。

1:1726

Μὴ παραζήλου ἐν πονηρευομένοις, μηδὲ ζήλου. τοὺς ποιοῦντας τὴν ἀνομίαν

Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be jealous of those who work iniquity.

不要為作惡的心懷不平，也不要嫉妒那行不義的人。

1:1727

Παραινεῖ φεύγειν τὴν πονηρίαν, ὡς ἔκπτωσιν εἶναι παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ ταύτης ὑπογράφων τὸ τέλος

He exhorts us to flee wickedness, describing its end as the loss of every good thing.

他勸人當逃避邪惡，並指明邪惡的結局乃是喪失一切美善之事。

1:1728

Καὶ κατασκήνου τὴν γῆν, καὶ ποιμανθήσῃ ἐπὶ τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτῆς

Dwell in the land, and you shall be nourished by its abundance.

你要安居地上，也必因這地的豐富得餵養。

1:1729

Γῆν λέγει τὴν θεόπνευστον Γραφὴν, ἐν ᾗ ὁ πλοῦτος τῶν ἁγίων, τουτέστιν αἱ ἐπαγ γελίαι

By ‘land’ he means the God-inspired Scripture, in which is the wealth of the saints, that is, the promises.

「地」指的是神所默示的聖經，其中蘊藏著聖徒的財富，也就是眾應許。

1:1730

Παραινεῖ διαπαντὸς τῶν θείων προσχέσθαι λογίων, ἔρωτι τῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἀποκειμένων τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀγαθῶν

He exhorts us always to hold fast to the divine oracles, out of love for the good things laid up in them for the saints.

他勸勉人要常常持守神聖的言語，因愛慕其中為聖徒所存留的美善之事。

1:1731

Ἀποκάλυψον πρὸς Κύριον τὴν ὁδόν σου, καὶ ἔλπισον ἐπ' αὐτὸν, καὶ αὐτὸς ποιήσει

Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope in him, and he will act.

當將你的道路交託耶和華，並倚靠祂，祂就必成全。

1:1732

Ἔσῃ, φησὶ, φανερῶς τὴν ἀρέσκουσαν αὐτῷ βαδίζων ὁδόν

You shall, he says, openly walk in the way that pleases him.

他說：你必公開地行走在那條蒙祂喜悅的道路上。

1:1733

Καὶ ἐξοίσει ὡς φῶς τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου

And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light.

祂必使你的公義如光發出。

1:1734

Φῶς δὲ δικαιοσύνης γνῶσις·

The light of righteousness is knowledge;

公義之光就是知識；

1:1735

ἐπειδὴ καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη κανών ἐστιν ἀρετῶν

since righteousness is also the rule of the virtues.

因為公義本身也是眾美德的準則。

1:1736

Καὶ τὸ κρῖμά σου ὡς μεσημβρίαν

And your judgment as the noonday.

使你的公理明如正午。

1:1737

Κρινεῖ σε ἄξιον ὄντα φωτός

He shall judge you worthy of light.

祂必判定你配得那光。

1:1738

Ὅταν ἐπ' αὐτῷ, φησὶν, ἐλ πίσῃς, τότε καὶ αὐτὸς ποιήσει

When you hope in him, he says, then he too will act.

他說：當你倚靠祂的時候，祂也必成全。

1:1739

Τί δὲ ποιήσει δια δείκνυσιν ἐπενεγκών·

And what he will do, he makes clear by adding:

至於祂要成就什麼，他接著加以說明：

1:1740

Ἐξοίσει ὡς φῶς τὴν δικαιο σύνην σου, καὶ τὸ κρῖμά σου ὡς μεσημβρίαν

He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.

祂必使你的公義如光發出，使你的公理明如正午。

1:1741

Τότε δὲ ἐξοίσει, φησὶν, ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐμφανῆ καταστήσει, καὶ οἷον περίοπτον ἀποφανεῖ, λαθεῖν οὐκ ἐῶν τῆς εὐζωίας τὸ κάλλος

‘He shall bring forth,’ he says, means he shall make manifest, and shall render it as though conspicuous, not allowing the beauty of the good life to remain hidden.

他說，「發出」的意思是使之顯明，並使之如同眾目所見一般彰顯出來，不讓那美善生活的美好隱而不顯。

1:1742

Ἔσται γὰρ ἅπασιν ἐναργὴς ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου δίκην φωτὸς ἀναλάμπουσα, φωτὸς μεσημβρινοῦ

For your righteousness shall be evident to all, shining forth like light, the light of noonday.

因為你的公義必向眾人顯明，如光一般照耀，正如正午之光。

1:1743

Μεσημβρία γε μὴν ὀνομάζεται τῆς ἡμέρας αὐτὸ τὸ μεσαίτατον

Now noonday is the name given to the very middle of the day.

「正午」這名稱指的正是一天當中最居中的時刻。

1:1744

Οὐ μόνον, φησὶ, δικαιοῖ τὸν ἐξομολογούμενον, καὶ κρῖμα αὐτῷ προσφέρει χρηστό τητος, ἀλλὰ καὶ εἰς φῶς αὐτοῦ προσφέρει τὴν δικαιοσύνην τουτέστι γνωρίζει πᾶσιν, ὅτιπερ αὐτὸν ἐδι καίωσεν

Not only, he says, does he justify the one who confesses, and grant him a judgment of kindness, but he also brings his righteousness into the light, that is, he makes known to all that he has justified him.

他說：祂不僅使那認罪的人稱義，並向他施予仁慈的裁斷，還要使他的公義顯於光中，也就是讓眾人知道祂已使這人稱義了。

1:1745

Οἷος ἦν ὁ λῃστὴς, οὗ τὸ κρῖμα ἐν μεσημ βρίᾳ κατὰ τὸ μέσον τῆς ἡμέρας σταυρούμενος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐξήγαγε, καὶ τὴν ἐπ' αὐτῷ δικαιοσύνην εἰς φῶς, τουτέστιν εἰς πάντων γνῶσιν ἤνεγκεν

Such was the thief, whose judgment Jesus, being crucified at noon, in the middle of the day, brought forth, and brought the righteousness pronounced upon him into the light, that is, into the knowledge of all.

那強盜正是如此：耶穌在正午，也就是一天正中之時被釘十字架，宣告了對他的判決，並將加在他身上的這公義帶入光中，也就是使眾人都得以知曉。

1:1746

Ἡ γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτῷ φωνὴ, Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, σήμερον μετ' ἐμοῦ ἔσῃ ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ, εἰς φανερὸν τῇ οἰκου μένῃ, μᾶλλον δὲ φῶς τῇ οἰκουμένῃ γεγένηται, προ τροπὴ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν μετανοίᾳ τυγχάνουσιν

For the word spoken over him, ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise,’ has become manifest to the world, or rather a light to the world, an encouragement to all who are found in repentance.

因為向他所說的那句話——「我實實在在告訴你，今日你要同我在樂園裡了」——已經向普世顯明，甚至可說成了普世的光，成為一切悔改之人的勉勵。

1:1747

Οὐκ ἔσται, φησὶ, κεκαλυμμένον τὸ τῆς δικαιοσύνης λαμπρὸν, ὥσπερ νῦν, ἀλλ' ἐπιφανὲς ὥσπερ ἥλιος ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ, ὥσπερ ὁ Κύριός φησι·

The brightness of righteousness, he says, shall not remain hidden as it is now, but shall be manifest like the sun at noon, just as the Lord says:

他說：公義的光輝將不再像現今這樣隱而不顯，而要如正午的太陽一般彰顯出來，正如主所說：

1:1748

Τότε οἱ δίκαιοι λάμψουσιν ὡς ὁ ἥλιος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτῶν

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.

那時，義人在他們父的國裡，要發出光來，像太陽一樣。

1:1749

Ὑποτάγηθι τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἱκέτευσον αὐτόν

Submit yourself to the Lord, and supplicate him.

你當順服耶和華，懇求祂。

1:1750

Αὐ τὸς μὲν, φησὶ, ἄξιον ὄντα φωτὸς ἀποδείξει ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι·

He himself, he says, will show you to be worthy of light in the age to come;

他說：祂自己必在來世顯明你是配得那光的；

1:1751

Μὴ παραζήλου ἐν τῷ κατευοδουμένῳ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ

Do not be jealous of him who prospers in his way.

「不要嫉妒那在自己道路上亨通的人。」

1:1752

Μὴ μιμήσῃ, φησὶν, εὐδαιμονίαν ἐκ παρανομίας συγκροτουμένην

Do not imitate, he says, a prosperity that is put together from lawlessness.

他說：不要效法由不法所構成的福樂。

1:1753

[ Μὴ θαύμαζε ἄνθρωπον παράνομον κατευθυνόμε νον, μηδὲ μιμήσῃ εὐδαιμονίαν ἐκ παρανομίας συγκρο τουμένην, μηδὲ πράττειν ἐρεθίζου τὰ ὅμοια·

[Do not marvel at a lawless man who is prospering, nor imitate a prosperity built up from lawlessness, nor be provoked to do the like things;

〔不要驚訝不法之人被引導亨通，也不要效法由不法構成的福樂，也不要因此被激動去做相似的事；

1:1754

ἀλλ' εἰ καὶ κατὰ ῥοῦν αὐτῷ φέρεται πάντα, μὴ δάκνου μη δὲ δυσφόρει, ὅτι μὴ διδόασι δίκην οἱ πονηροὶ, ἀλλ' ἐν εὐθηνείᾳ διάγουσιν, ὡς μή τινος τὴν τίσιν εὐθύ νοντος

but even if everything flows smoothly for him, do not be gnawed with envy nor be vexed, because the wicked do not pay the penalty but live in abundance, as though no one were setting the requital right.

但即使萬事對他都順流而行，也不要心焦，也不要煩悶，因為惡人並未受懲罰，反倒生活豐足，彷彿沒有人在使報應歸於公正一般。

1:1755

Κρεῖσσον ὀλίγον τῷ δικαίῳ·

Better is a little to the righteous man;

「義人所有的雖少……」

1:1756

ἀντὶ τοῦ, μεῖζόν. ἐστι μικρὸν ἔλεος τοῦ Κυρίου ὑπὲρ πάντα τὸν πλοῦ τον τοῦ κόσμου.] Παῦσαι ἀπὸ ὀργῆς, καὶ ἐγκατάλειπε θυμόν

in place of 'greater': the mercy of the Lord, though small, surpasses all the wealth of the world.] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.

即〔「更多」之意：〕主的憐憫雖是微小，卻勝過世上一切的財富。〕當止住怒氣，離棄忿怒。

1:1757

Μὴ ἴδῃς αὐτῶν τὴν εὐημερίαν, ἀλλὰ πρόσμεινον τὸ τέ λος, καὶ ὄψει τὸν ὄλεθρον

Do not look upon their prosperity, but wait for the end, and you will see their destruction.

不要看他們的順境，只管等候結局，你就必看見滅亡。

1:1758

Ὀργὴ δέ ἐστιν ὄρεξις τι μωρίας·

Anger is a craving for retribution;

忿怒乃是渴求報復；

1:1759

τιμωρία δέ ἐστι κακοῦ ἀνταπόδοσις

and retribution is the requital of evil.

報復乃是以惡還惡。

1:1760

Μὴ παραζήλου ὥστε πονηρεύεσθαι

Do not be jealous so as to do evil.

不要嫉妒到去行惡的地步。

1:1761

Εὖ ἴσθι, ὅτι οἱ μὲν τῆς θείας ἐλπίδος σφᾶς αὐτοὺς ἀναρτήσαντες, καὶ τὸν ἐπιεικῆ προαιρούμενοι βίον, ἐν ἀπραγμοσύνῃ καὶ εἰρήνῃ διατελοῦσι, τρυφὴν ἔχοντες μόνιμον τοῦ συνει δότος τὴν καθαρότητα·

Know well that those who have anchored themselves upon the divine hope, and who choose the equitable life, continue in freedom from trouble and in peace, possessing as their abiding delight the purity of conscience;

你當清楚知道：凡將自己懸繫於神聖盼望、並揀選溫和公正生活的人，都在無事紛擾與平安中度日，以良心的潔淨作為恆常的安樂；

1:1762

οἱ δὲ τῇ προσκαίρῳ εὐημερίᾳ θαῤῥοῦντες ταχεῖαν δέξονται τὴν μεταβολὴν, καὶ λή θῃ παραδοθήσονται παντελεῖ

but those who put their confidence in temporary prosperity will receive a swift reversal, and will be handed over to complete oblivion.

但那些倚仗短暫順境的人，將迅速遭逢變故，並被交付於全然的遺忘之中。

1:1763

Καὶ ζητήσεις τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὕ ρῃς

And you shall seek his place, and shall not find it.

「你必尋找他的地方，卻尋不著。」

1:1764

Οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὁλόῤ ῥιζοι ἀπολοῦνται

But the impious shall perish, root and all.

「但不敬虔的人必連根滅絕。」

1:1765

Καὶ κατατρυφήσουσιν ἐπὶ πλήθει εἰρήνης

And they shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

「他們必因平安的豐盛而喜樂。」

1:1766

Τρυ φὴ δικαίου, πλῆθος εἰρήνης ἐστίν·

The delight of the righteous is the abundance of peace;

義人的喜樂，就是平安的豐盛；

1:1767

ἀπάθεια δὲ ψυχῆς, μετὰ γνώσεως τῶν ὄντων ἀληθοῦς

and it is the soul's freedom from passion, together with a true knowledge of the things that are.

也就是靈魂脫離情慾之擾，加上對存在之事真實的知識。

1:1768

Τοῦτο καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ διαβόλου ληφθῆναι πρόσφορον, καὶ διὰ τού των παραψυχὴν τοῖς ἀδικουμένοις προσφέρει

It is fitting that this also be taken as referring to the devil, and through these words he offers consolation to those who are wronged.

這話也可恰當地理解為指魔鬼而言，並且他藉此向那些受屈之人提供了安慰。

1:1769

Ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἐκγελάσεται αὐτόν

But the Lord shall laugh him to scorn,

「但主必嗤笑他，」

1:1770

εἰδὼς, ὡς ἔστησεν ἡμέραν καθ' ἣν τῷ μὲν ἀποδώσει τὴν αἰώνιον ζωὴν, τῷ δὲ τὴν αἰώνιον κόλασιν

knowing that He has appointed a day on which He will render to the one eternal life, and to the other eternal punishment.

因為祂知道自己已定下一日，在那日祂要將永生賜給這一個人，卻將永刑加給那一個人。

1:1771

Ῥομφαίαν ἐσπάσαντο οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ, ἐνέτειναν τόξον αὐτῶν

The sinners have drawn the sword, they have bent their bow,

「罪人拔出了刀，張滿了他們的弓，」

1:1772

ἡ ῥομφαία αὐτῶν εἰσέλθοι εἰς καρδίαν αὐτῶν

let their sword enter into their own heart.

「願他們的刀刺入自己的心。」

1:1773

Ταῦτα, φησὶ, πεπόνθασιν οἱ πονηροὶ δαίμονες, ἃ ποιήσειν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἐπεβούλευσαν

These things, he says, the wicked demons have suffered, which they had plotted to do against the saints.

他說：那些邪惡的鬼魔正是遭受了他們原先圖謀要加害於聖徒的事。

1:1774

Γινώσκει Κύριος τὰς ὁδοὺς τῶν ἀμώμων

The Lord knows the ways of the blameless,

「主曉得無瑕疵之人的道路，」

1:1775

Ἀντὶ τοῦ, ἀποδέχεται καὶ τιμᾷ

in place of 'knows': He accepts and honors.

即「悅納且尊重」之意。
