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).

24:1

ἰδοὺ κύριος καταφθείρει τὴν οἰκουμένην καὶ ἐρημώσει αὐτὴν καὶ ἀνακαλύψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ διασπερεῖ τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ

Behold, the Lord is destroying the inhabited world, and he will lay it waste and uncover its face and scatter those who dwell in it.

看哪，主正毀壞這世界，要使它荒涼，又要揭開它的面，把住在其中的人分散。

24:2

καὶ ἔσται ὁ λαὸς ὡς ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ὁ παῖς ὡς ὁ κύριος καὶ ἡ θεράπαινα ὡς ἡ κυρία ἔσται ὁ ἀγοράζων ὡς ὁ πωλῶν καὶ ὁ δανείζων ὡς ὁ δανειζόμενος καὶ ὁ ὀφείλων ὡς ᾧ ὀφείλει

And the people shall be as the priest, and the servant as the master, and the maidservant as the mistress; the buyer shall be as the seller, and the lender as the borrower, and the debtor as the one to whom he owes.

百姓必像祭司，僕人必像主人，婢女必像主母；買的必像賣的，放債的必像借債的，欠債的必像債主。

24:3

φθορᾷ φθαρήσεται ἡ γῆ καὶ προνομῇ προνομευθήσεται ἡ γῆ τὸ γὰρ στόμα κυρίου ἐλάλησεν ταῦτα

The earth shall be utterly corrupted, and the earth shall be utterly plundered, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.

地必全然敗壞，地必全然被擄掠，因為主的口說了這些話。

24:4

ἐπένθησεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ἐφθάρη ἡ οἰκουμένη ἐπένθησαν οἱ ὑψηλοὶ τῆς γῆς

The earth mourned, and the inhabited world was corrupted; the high ones of the earth mourned.

地悲哀了，世界敗壞了，地上居高位的也悲哀了。

24:5

ἡ δὲ γῆ ἠνόμησεν διὰ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτήν διότι παρέβησαν τὸν νόμον καὶ ἤλλαξαν τὰ προστάγματα διαθήκην αἰώνιον

And the earth acted lawlessly because of those who inhabit it, for they transgressed the law and changed the ordinances, an everlasting covenant.

地因居民的緣故行了不法，因為他們違背了律法，更改了命令，就是永遠的約。

24:6

διὰ τοῦτο ἀρὰ ἔδεται τὴν γῆν ὅτι ἡμάρτοσαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτήν διὰ τοῦτο πτωχοὶ ἔσονται οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ καταλειφθήσονται ἄνθρωποι ὀλίγοι

Therefore a curse shall devour the earth, because those who inhabit it have sinned; therefore those who dwell in the earth shall be poor, and few people shall be left.

因此咒詛要吞吃這地，因為住在其上的人犯了罪；因此住在地上的人必成為貧窮，剩下的人必稀少。

24:7

πενθήσει οἶνος πενθήσει ἄμπελος στενάξουσιν πάντες οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι τὴν ψυχήν

The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn; all who make their soul glad shall groan.

酒必悲哀，葡萄樹必悲哀，凡心中歡樂的都必歎息。

24:8

πέπαυται εὐφροσύνη τυμπάνων πέπαυται αὐθάδεια καὶ πλοῦτος ἀσεβῶν πέπαυται φωνὴ κιθάρας

The gladness of tambourines has ceased; the self-will and wealth of the impious has ceased; the sound of the lyre has ceased.

擊鼓的歡樂止息了，不敬虔之人的放肆和財富止息了，彈琴的聲音也止息了。

24:9

ᾐσχύνθησαν οὐκ ἔπιον οἶνον πικρὸν ἐγένετο τὸ σικερα τοῖς πίνουσιν

They were put to shame; they did not drink wine; strong drink became bitter to those who drink it.

他們蒙了羞，不再喝酒；濃酒在喝的人口中變苦了。
