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).

2:1
ἐπὶ τῆς φυλακῆς μου στήσομαι καὶ ἐπιβήσομαι ἐπὶ πέτραν καὶ ἀποσκοπεύσω τοῦ ἰδεῖν τί λαλήσει ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ τί ἀποκριθῶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἔλεγχόν μου
I will stand at my watch and climb upon a rock and keep watch, to see what he will speak in me, and what I should answer concerning my reproof.
我要站在我的守望之處,登上磐石,舉目守望,要看他在我裡面要說什麼,我對自己的申訴該回答什麼。
2:2
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη πρός με κύριος καὶ εἶπεν γράψον ὅρασιν καὶ σαφῶς ἐπὶ πυξίον ὅπως διώκῃ ὁ ἀναγινώσκων αὐτά
And the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision, and plainly on a tablet, so that the one who reads it may run after it.
主回答我說:要把異象寫下,清楚地寫在版上,使讀的人能追隨。
2:3
διότι ἔτι ὅρασις εἰς καιρὸν καὶ ἀνατελεῖ εἰς πέρας καὶ οὐκ εἰς κενόν ἐὰν ὑστερήσῃ ὑπόμεινον αὐτόν ὅτι ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ μὴ χρονίσῃ
For the vision still awaits an appointed time, and it will rise up at the end and not in vain. If it should be late, wait for him, because he who is coming will come and will not delay.
因為這異象還要等候定期,它必興起直到終局,絕不落空。它若遲延,你要等候他;因為那要來的必來,絕不遲延。
2:4
ἐὰν ὑποστείληται οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεώς μου ζήσεται
If he shrinks back, my soul takes no pleasure in him; but the righteous one shall live by my faith.
人若退縮,我的心就不喜悅他;惟有義人必因我的信實而活。
2:5
ὁ δὲ κατοινωμένος καὶ καταφρονητὴς ἀνὴρ ἀλαζών οὐδὲν μὴ περάνῃ ὃς ἐπλάτυνεν καθὼς ὁ ᾅδης τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὗτος ὡς θάνατος οὐκ ἐμπιπλάμενος καὶ ἐπισυνάξει ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καὶ εἰσδέξεται πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς λαούς
But the one soaked in wine, a scoffer, an arrogant man - he will accomplish nothing. He has widened his appetite like Hades, and like death he is never filled; he will gather to himself all the nations and receive to himself all the peoples.
那醉酒的、藐視人的,是狂傲的人,必一事無成。他張開自己的喉嚨如同陰間,他像死亡一樣永不飽足;他要招聚萬國歸向自己,收納萬民歸於自己。
2:6
οὐχὶ ταῦτα πάντα παραβολὴν κατ’ αὐτοῦ λήμψονται καὶ πρόβλημα εἰς διήγησιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν οὐαὶ ὁ πληθύνων ἑαυτῷ τὰ οὐκ ὄντα αὐτοῦ ἕως τίνος καὶ βαρύνων τὸν κλοιὸν αὐτοῦ στιβαρῶς
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a riddle for the telling of him? And they will say: Alas for the one who multiplies to himself what is not his own - how long? - and who weighs down his collar heavily.
這一切豈不都要向他唱起比喻,作成謎語來述說他嗎?他們要說:禍哉!那為自己積聚不屬自己之物的人,要到幾時呢?他又沉重地加重自己的枷鎖。
2:7
ὅτι ἐξαίφνης ἀναστήσονται δάκνοντες αὐτόν καὶ ἐκνήψουσιν οἱ ἐπίβουλοί σου καὶ ἔσῃ εἰς διαρπαγὴν αὐτοῖς
For suddenly those who bite him will rise up, and your plotters will wake up, and you will become plunder for them.
因為咬他的必忽然興起,謀害你的必醒過來,你必成為他們的擄物。
2:8
διότι σὺ ἐσκύλευσας ἔθνη πολλά σκυλεύσουσίν σε πάντες οἱ ὑπολελειμμένοι λαοὶ δῑ αἵματα ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀσεβείας γῆς καὶ πόλεως καὶ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων αὐτήν
Because you plundered many nations, all the peoples who are left will plunder you, because of human blood and the impiety done to the land and the city and all who dwell in it.
因為你擄掠了許多國家,所有剩下的民都必擄掠你;這是因為人的血,並因為對地、對城、以及對其中一切居民所行的不敬虔。
2:9
ὦ ὁ πλεονεκτῶν πλεονεξίαν κακὴν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ τοῦ τάξαι εἰς ὕψος νοσσιὰν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐκ χειρὸς κακῶν
O you who greedily take evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be snatched out of the hand of evils!
那為自己的家貪得惡利的人哪,他把自己的巢安置在高處,為要脫離災禍之手。
2:10
ἐβουλεύσω αἰσχύνην τῷ οἴκῳ σου συνεπέρανας λαοὺς πολλούς καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν ἡ ψυχή σου
You have planned shame for your house; you have made an end of many peoples, and your soul has sinned.
你為自己的家謀劃了羞辱,剪除了許多民族,你的心也犯了罪。
2:11
διότι λίθος ἐκ τοίχου βοήσεται καὶ κάνθαρος ἐκ ξύλου φθέγξεται αὐτά
For a stone will cry out from the wall, and a beetle out of the wood will utter these things.
因為牆裡的石頭必呼喊,木頭裡的甲蟲必應聲說出這些話。
2:12
οὐαὶ ὁ οἰκοδομῶν πόλιν ἐν αἵμασιν καὶ ἑτοιμάζων πόλιν ἐν ἀδικίαις
Alas for the one who builds a city with blood and founds a city on injustices!
禍哉!那以流血建城、以不義立城的人。
2:13
οὐ ταῦτά ἐστιν παρὰ κυρίου παντοκράτορος καὶ ἐξέλιπον λαοὶ ἱκανοὶ ἐν πυρί καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ ὠλιγοψύχησαν
Are these things not from the Lord Almighty? Many peoples have been consumed in fire, and many nations have grown faint.
這些事豈不是出於全能之主嗎?眾多的民在火中耗盡,許多國家也灰心喪膽。
2:14
ὅτι πλησθήσεται ἡ γῆ τοῦ γνῶναι τὴν δόξαν κυρίου ὡς ὕδωρ κατακαλύψει αὐτούς
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as water will cover them.
因為全地必充滿認識主榮耀的知識,如同水淹沒他們。
2:15
ὦ ὁ ποτίζων τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀνατροπῇ θολερᾷ καὶ μεθύσκων ὅπως ἐπιβλέπῃ ἐπὶ τὰ σπήλαια αὐτῶν
O you who give your neighbor a turbid, overthrowing drink and make him drunk, so that you may gaze upon their caverns!
那用污濁的傾覆之物給鄰舍喝,又使他喝醉,為要窺看他們洞穴的人哪!
2:16
πλησμονὴν ἀτιμίας ἐκ δόξης πίε καὶ σὺ καὶ διασαλεύθητι καὶ σείσθητι ἐκύκλωσεν ἐπὶ σὲ ποτήριον δεξιᾶς κυρίου καὶ συνήχθη ἀτιμία ἐπὶ τὴν δόξαν σου
Drink your fill of dishonor instead of glory, you too; be shaken and reel. The cup of the right hand of the Lord has come around upon you, and dishonor has gathered upon your glory.
你也要喝盡羞辱,不再有榮耀;你要搖晃,你要戰抖。主右手的杯轉到你這裡,羞辱必堆積在你的榮耀之上。
2:17
διότι ἀσέβεια τοῦ Λιβάνου καλύψει σε καὶ ταλαιπωρία θηρίων πτοήσει σε διὰ αἵματα ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀσεβείας γῆς καὶ πόλεως καὶ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων αὐτήν
For the impiety of Lebanon will cover you, and the misery of wild animals will terrify you, because of human blood and the impiety done to the land and the city and all who dwell in it.
因為向黎巴嫩所行的不敬虔必遮蓋你,野獸所受的苦害必使你驚恐;這是因為人的血,並因為對地、對城、以及對其中一切居民所行的不敬虔。
2:18
τί ὠφελεῖ γλυπτόν ὅτι ἔγλυψαν αὐτό ἔπλασαν αὐτὸ χώνευμα φαντασίαν ψευδῆ ὅτι πέποιθεν ὁ πλάσας ἐπὶ τὸ πλάσμα αὐτοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι εἴδωλα κωφά
What use is a carved image, that they carved it? They formed it as a cast thing, a false phantom, because the one who formed it trusts in his own formation, making mute idols.
雕刻的像有什麼益處呢?不過是人雕刻了它。他們鑄造它,成了虛假的幻象;因為造它的人倚靠自己所造之物,去造出啞巴偶像。
2:19
οὐαὶ ὁ λέγων τῷ ξύλῳ ἔκνηψον ἐξεγέρθητι καὶ τῷ λίθῳ ὑψώθητι καὶ αὐτό ἐστιν φαντασία τοῦτο δέ ἐστιν ἔλασμα χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ
Alas for the one who says to the wood, Sober up, awake, and to the stone, Rise up. It is itself a phantom; this is a plating of gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it.
禍哉!那對木頭說「醒來吧,起來吧」,對石頭說「立起來吧」的人。這不過是幻象,是金銀打造的薄片,其中毫無氣息。
2:20
ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ εὐλαβείσθω ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ
But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth stand in awe before his face.
惟有主在他的聖殿中;全地都當在他面前肅然敬畏。
