Psalms 115

Latin original · 18 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Ge'ez Bible)

⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 115 here = Ps 113 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.

ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

115:1

Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam :

Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

耶和華啊，榮耀不要歸與我們，不要歸與我們；要因你的慈愛和誠實歸在你的名下！

115:2

super misericordia tua et veritate tua ; nequando dicant gentes : Ubi est Deus eorum ?

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

為何容外邦人說：他們的上帝在哪裏呢？

115:3

Deus autem noster in caelo ; omnia quaecumque voluit fecit.

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

然而，我們的上帝在天上，都隨自己的意旨行事。

115:4

Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

他們的偶像是金的，銀的，是人手所造的，

115:5

Os habent, et non loquentur ; oculos habent, et non videbunt.

They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，

115:6

Aures habent, et non audient ; nares habent, et non odorabunt.

They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

有耳卻不能聽，有鼻卻不能聞，

115:7

Manus habent, et non palpabunt ; pedes habent, et non ambulabunt ; non clamabunt in gutture suo.

They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

有手卻不能摸，有腳卻不能走，有喉嚨也不能出聲。

115:8

Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

造他的要和他一樣；凡靠他的也要如此。

115:9

Domus Israël speravit in Domino ; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.

Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

以色列啊，你要倚靠耶和華！他是你的幫助和你的盾牌。
