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.

1-1:2516

Στέφανος πλησθεὶς πνεύματος ἁγίου εἶδεν τοὺς οὐρανοὺς ἀνεῳγμέ νους. ὥστε εἶναι τὸ ὑπὸ ἀρχαίου εἰρομένον·

'Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, saw the heavens opened.' So that what was said by the ancient poet applies here:

「司提反被聖靈充滿，看見天開了。」因此，古人所說的那句話，正可用在此處：

1-1:2517

οὐρανόθεν δ' ἄρ' ὑπερράγη ἄσπετος αἰθήρ

'and from heaven, then, the boundless ether was rent asunder.'

「於是，從天上，無垠的蒼穹忽然裂開。」

1-1:2518

ν ὅτι προγνώστης ὅτι προγινώσκει, ὡς ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ὁ υἱός·

[Heading:] That the Spirit is a knower of things to come, in that he foreknows, just as the Father and the Son foreknow;

〔標題：〕聖靈是先知者，正如父與子一樣，祂也預先知曉未來之事；

1-1:2519

μόνης δὲ θεϊκῆς φύσεώς ἐστιν, ἀκριβῶς εἰδέναι τὰ μέλλοντα

and that it belongs to the divine nature alone to know future things with precision.

而唯獨神聖的本性，才能確切知曉將來的事。

1-1:2520

ἡ γὰρ κτίσις πάντα μὲν τὰ ἀφ' ἑαυτῆς στοχαστικὰ προφέρει, ἐκεῖνο δὲ μόνον ἀπλανῶς καὶ ἀπαραβάτως προβλέπει, ὃ αὐτὴν διδάξῃ τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα

For creation, of itself, brings forth all things only in a conjectural manner, and foresees without error and without deviation only that one thing which the Holy Spirit teaches it.

因為受造之物，憑其自身所能提出的，一切都僅止於臆測；唯有聖靈所教導它的那一件事，它才能毫無差錯、毫無偏離地預先看見。

1-1:2521

θείαις ἀκτῖσιν αὐτοῦ μονονουχὶ τὰς ἐν οὐρανῷ καταλάμπον δυνάμεις, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ἡμετέρων ψυχῶν ἀπολαμπρύνον τὰ ὄμματα, ὑποδείκνυσί τε πολλάκις διαφόρως τὰ μέλλοντα καὶ συγχωρεῖ δι' οἰκείαν ἀγαθότητα καὶ φιλανθρωπίαν τὰ πρὸς τὸ χρήσιμον συντελοῦντα τῇ ἀνθρωπείᾳ φύσει ἐκ λέγειν ποτὲ τὴν κτίσιν·

...with his divine rays, well nigh not only illumining the powers in heaven, but also brightening the eyes of our souls; and he often variously foreshows the things that are to come, and, on account of his own goodness and love for mankind, permits creation, at times, to declare the things that contribute to what is beneficial for human nature.

……以其神聖的光輝，幾乎不僅照亮天上的諸能，也光耀我們靈魂的眼目；他又屢次以各種方式指示將要發生的事，並因自己的良善與仁愛，容讓受造之物有時宣講那些有益於人性、有助於實益的事。

1-1:2522

ἅπερ ἔσθ' ὅτε ἡ ἔνυλος ἡμῶν φύσις οὐ τῷ χορηγήσαντι διὰ μέσης τῆς κτίσεως, ἀλλ' αὐτῇ ἐπιγράφει

which things our material nature sometimes ascribes, not to him who granted them through the mediation of creation, but to creation itself.

這些事，我們這有形質的本性有時不歸功於那藉受造之物為中介而賜下這一切的那位，反倒歸功於受造之物本身。

1-1:2523

αἱ δὲ περὶ τῆς προγνώσεως τοῦ πνεύματος ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποστολικῶν πράξεων μαρτυρίαι εἰσὶν ἐν τούτοις

And the testimonies concerning the foreknowledge of the Spirit, drawn from the Acts of the Apostles, are as follows:

至於論到聖靈預知之事、取自《使徒行傳》的見證，則如下所述：

1-1:2524

ἀπὸ τοῦ Πέτρου πρὸς τοὺς Ἰουδαίους·

From Peter, to the Jews:

出自彼得對猶太人所說的話：

1-1:2525

ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἔδει πληρωθῆναι τὴν γραφήν, ἣν προεῖπεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον διὰ στόματος Δαυὶδ περὶ Ἰούδα τοῦ γενομένου ὁδηγοῦ τῶν συλλαβόντων Ἰησοῦν. εὖ τοίνυν εἶπε τὸ ἔδει·

'Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became guide to them that took Jesus.' Well, then, did he say 'must needs':

「諸位弟兄，聖靈藉大衛的口預先所說、指著那領人捉拿耶穌的猶大所說的經文，必須應驗。」他說「必須」，說得真好：

1-1:2526

θεοῦ γὰρ μόνου πᾶς λόγος οὐκ ἀτελεύτητος

for of God alone is it true that no word of his is ever left without fulfillment.

因為唯獨神的話語，沒有一句是不應驗的。

1-1:2527

τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον κατὰ πόλιν διαμαρτύρεταί με λέγον, ὅτι δεσ μὰ καὶ θλίψεις με μένουσιν. καὶ διὰ τοῦ προφήτου δὲ Ἀγάβου σιτοδείαν ἐσομένην τῇ ὑπ' οὐρανὸν διὰ τὰς ἀνθρώπων πλημμελείας προεμήνυσεν ὡς ἀγαθός, καθὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς Νινευῆ, ὡς ἂν εὐλαβηθέντες μετανοίᾳ φύγοιεν τὸ κακὸν ἥτις καὶ συνέβη πολλοῖς ὕστερον χρόνοις ἐπὶ Κλαυδίου

'The Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.' And through the prophet Agabus he foretold, as one who is good, a famine that was to come upon the whole world under heaven on account of the transgressions of men — just as also in the case of Nineveh — so that men, taking heed, might by repentance flee the evil; which indeed came to pass many years later, under Claudius.

「聖靈在各城裡向我鄭重作見證說，有捆鎖與患難等待著我。」他又藉先知亞迦布預先宣告，因人的過犯，普天下將有饑荒——祂如此行乃是出於良善，正如對尼尼微所行的一樣——為要人謹慎戒懼，藉悔改逃避這災禍；這事後來果然在克勞第年間應驗了。

1-1:2528

καὶ ἐν εὐαγγελίῳ δὲ ὁ Χριστὸς περὶ τοῦ πνεύματός φησιν·

And in the Gospel too, Christ says concerning the Spirit:

在福音書中，基督也論到聖靈說：

1-1:2529

καὶ τὰ ἐρχόμενα ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν, τουτέστιν τὰ μέλλοντα

'and he will declare to you the things that are coming,' that is, the things that are to be.

「祂要把將來的事告訴你們」，也就是將要發生的事。
