ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
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).
1:1581
Τίνος ἕνεκεν οὐχὶ παρόντων ἐσθίει, ἀλλ' ἐν νυκτί; Πῶς ἐκεῖνοι τοῦτο οὐ συνεῖδον, ὅτι ἤμελ. λον διὰ τῆς βοηθείας ἐλέγχεσθαι; Ὅταν Θεὸς οἰκονομῇ, μηδὲν θαυμάσῃς
Why does it eat not in their presence, but by night? How was it that those men did not perceive this, that they were going to be exposed by means of the help provided? When God orders things, marvel at nothing.
為何牠不在人面前喫,卻在夜間喫呢?那些人怎麼沒有看出這事,就是他們必要藉那救助而被揭穿呢?當神安排一切的時候,你就不必以任何事為奇。
1:1582
Καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς, φησί
'And he slew them,' he says.
「他就把他們殺了,」他說。
1:1583
Τί οὖν πάλιν ἐπὶ τοῦ δράκοντος; θηρίον τις προσκυνεῖ; Καὶ τοῦτον ἀνεῖλεν
Why then again in the matter of the dragon? Does one worship a beast? And this one too he destroyed.
那麼在那大龍的事上又為何呢?豈有人敬拜走獸的麼?連這一個他也除滅了。
1:1584
Ὁρᾷς πῶς ἀνόητοι, πῶς ἄνανδροι οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν Περσῶν; Ἐκδίδωσι τὸν Δανιή
Do you see how senseless, how unmanly the kings of the Persians are? They give up Daniel.
你看波斯的諸王是何等愚昧、何等怯懦?他們竟把但以理交出去。
1:1585
Τίνος ἕνεκεν, μετὰ τὴν νίκην τὴν οὕτω λαμπράν; Ὁ δὲ Ἀμβακοὺμ, φησὶ, ἄριστον ἤνεγκε τῷ Δανιή
For what reason, after so brilliant a victory? But Habakkuk, he says, brought a meal to Daniel.
在那樣輝煌的得勝之後,為著甚麼緣故呢?經上說,哈巴谷送飯給但以理。
1:1586
Μὴ γὰρ οὐκ ἦν δυνατὸν αὐτῷ ἄλλοθεν. ἐνεχθῆναι, ἀλλ' ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας; Τοῦτο φίλον ἦν τῷ προφήτῃ, ἵνα μὴ τὰ αὐτὰ ποιήσῃ πάλιν, καθάπερ ἐπὶ τοῦ εὐνούχου, ἵνα μὴ νομίσας ἠλισγῆσθαι τὴν τράπεζαν, τὸν λιμὸν ἐπιτείνῃ
Was it not possible for it to be brought from elsewhere, rather than from Judea? This was dear to the prophet, that he should not do the same thing again, as in the case of the eunuch, lest, thinking the table to be defiled, he should intensify his hunger.
難道不能從別處送來,非要從猶太送來麼?這乃是先知所喜悅的,免得他再作與從前一樣的事,如同在太監的事上一樣;免得他以為那筵席已被玷污,反使他更加飢餓。
1:1587
Πόθεν ἔγνω τὸν Ἀμβακούμ; Ἀπὸ τῆς συγγενείας τῆς κατὰ τὴν φωνήν
Whence did he know Habakkuk? From the kinship according to the voice.
他從何認出哈巴谷呢?乃是憑那聲音上的同族之情。
1:1588
Ἔμελλεν αὐτὸς κήρυξ γίνεσθαι τοῖς κατὰ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν θαύματος μεγίστου
He himself was to become a herald of a very great wonder to those in Judea.
他自己將要向猶太的人作那極大神蹟的傳報者。
1:1589
Πῶς οὐκ ἐφοβήθη τὰ θηρία ὁ ἄνθρωπος; Οὗτος μὲν ἤσθιεν, ἐκεῖνα δὲ ἐνήστευον
How was it that the man was not afraid of the wild beasts? He indeed was eating, while they were fasting.
那人怎麼不懼怕那些野獸呢?他倒喫著,那些獸卻餓著。
1:1590
Ἔστω, τοῦ σώματος ἀπείχετο τοῦ δικαίου·
Granted, they kept from the body of the righteous man;
就算牠們不動那義人的身體;
1:1591
τίνος ἕνεκεν καὶ τῆς τροφῆς; Ὥσπερ κημός τις καὶ χαλινὸς κατεῖχεν ἐκεῖνα
why also from the food? A kind of muzzle and bridle held those beasts in check.
為何連那食物也不動呢?彷彿有一種嚼環和轡頭勒住了那些獸。
