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).

4:1

Τέκνον μου, τοῦ λαλοῦντός σοι τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ μνησθήσῃ νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας, τιμήσεις δὲ αὐτὸν ὡς κύριον: ὅθεν γὰρ ἡ κυριότης λαλεῖται, ἐκεῖ κύριός ἐστιν

My child, you shall remember him who speaks to you the word of God night and day, and you shall honor him as the Lord; for wherever the Lordship is proclaimed, there the Lord is.

我的孩子，那向你講說神之道的人，你要晝夜記念他，又要尊敬他如同主；因為凡傳揚主權之處，那裡就有主。

4:2

ἐκζητήσεις δὲ καθ̓ ἡμέραν τὰ πρόσωπα τῶν ἁγίων, ἵνα ἐπαναπαῇς τοῖς λόγοις αὐτῶν

And you shall seek out daily the presence of the saints, that you may find rest in their words.

你要天天尋求聖徒的面，好叫你因他們的話得安息。

4:3

οὐ ποθήσεις σχίσμα, εἰρηνεύσεις δὲ μαχομένους: κρινεῖς δικαίως, οὐ λήψῃ πρόσωπον ἐλέγξαι ἐπὶ παραπτώμασιν

You shall not long for division, but shall make peace between those who quarrel; you shall judge righteously; you shall not show partiality in reproving transgressions.

不可渴慕分爭，乃要使爭吵的人和睦；要按公義審判；責備人的過犯時，不可徇情面。

4:4

οὐ διψυχήσεις, πότερον ἔσται ἢ οὔ

You shall not be of two minds whether it shall be or not.

不可三心二意，疑惑事情成不成。

4:5

Μὴ γίνου πρὸς μὲν τὸ λαβεῖν ἐκτείνων τὰς χεῖρας, πρὸς δὲ τὸ δοῦναι συσπῶν

Do not be one who stretches out his hands to receive, but draws them in when it comes to giving.

不可在接受時伸手，在施與時就縮手。

4:6

ἐὰν ἔχῃς διὰ τῶν χειρῶν σου, δώσεις λύτρωσιν ἁμαρτιῶν σου

If you have anything through your hands, you shall give a ransom for your sins.

你若靠雙手有所得，就當捐輸，作為你罪的贖價。

4:7

οὐ διστάσεις δοῦναι οὐδὲ διδοὺς γογγύσεις: γνώσῃ γάρ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ τοῦ μισθοῦ καλὸς ἀνταποδότης

You shall not hesitate to give, nor grumble when giving; for you shall know who is the good rewarder of the recompense.

施與時不可遲疑，也不可發怨言；因為你要知道，那善於賞報的是誰。

4:8

οὐκ ἀποστραφήσῃ τὸν ἐνδεόμενον, συγκοινωνήσεις δὲ πάντα τῷ ἀδελφῷ σοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐρεῖς ἴδια εἶναι: εἰ γὰρ ἐν τῷ ἀθανάτῳ κοινωνοί ἐστε, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ἐν τοῖς θνητοῖς

You shall not turn away from the needy, but shall share all things with your brother, and shall not say that they are your own; for if you are partners in what is immortal, how much more in mortal things.

不可轉臉不顧窮乏人，乃要與你的弟兄凡物共用，不可說那是自己的；因為你們既在不朽的事上有分，何況在那必朽的物上呢？

4:9

Οὐκ ἀρεῖς τὴν χεῖρά σου ἀπὸ τοῦ υἱοῦ σου ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς θυγατρός σου, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ νεότητος διδάξεις τὸν φόβον τοῦ θεοῦ

You shall not withhold your hand from your son or your daughter, but from their youth you shall teach them the fear of God.

不可放手不管你的兒子或女兒，乃要從幼年就教導他們敬畏神。
