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).

14:1

βροτὸς γὰρ γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος καὶ πλήρης ὀργῆς

For a mortal born of a woman is short-lived and full of wrath.

婦人所生的必死之人，年日短少，滿有忿怒。

14:2

ἢ ὥσπερ ἄνθος ἀνθῆσαν ἐξέπεσεν ἀπέδρα δὲ ὥσπερ σκιὰ καὶ οὐ μὴ στῇ

Or like a flower that blooms and falls; he flees away like a shadow and will not stand still.

他如花開放又凋落，又如影子飛逝，必不停留。

14:3

οὐχὶ καὶ τούτου λόγον ἐποιήσω καὶ τοῦτον ἐποίησας εἰσελθεῖν ἐν κρίματι ἐνώπιόν σου

Have you not taken account even of him, and made him enter into judgement before you?

你豈不也顧念這樣的人嗎？你竟使他到你面前受審。

14:4

τίς γὰρ καθαρὸς ἔσται ἀπὸ ῥύπου ἀλλ’ οὐθείς

For who shall be clean from filth? Not one.

誰能從污穢中成為潔淨呢？沒有一個人能。

14:5

ἐὰν καὶ μία ἡμέρα ὁ βίος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀριθμητοὶ δὲ μῆνες αὐτοῦ παρὰ σοί εἰς χρόνον ἔθου καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑπερβῇ

Even if his life on earth is but one day, his months are numbered with you; you have appointed a limit, and he will not pass beyond it.

他在地上的一生即使只有一日，他的月數在你那裡也是有定數的；你既定了時限，他就不能越過。

14:6

ἀπόστα ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἵνα ἡσυχάσῃ καὶ εὐδοκήσῃ τὸν βίον ὥσπερ ὁ μισθωτός

Depart from him, that he may rest and take pleasure in his life like a hired labourer.

求你離開他，使他得安寧，好像雇工一樣以自己的日子為樂。

14:7

ἔστιν γὰρ δένδρῳ ἐλπίς ἐὰν γὰρ ἐκκοπῇ ἔτι ἐπανθήσει καὶ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ

For there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will bloom again, and its shoot will not fail.

樹還有指望；它若被砍下，仍要再發芽，嫩枝也不斷絕。

14:8

ἐὰν γὰρ γηράσῃ ἐν γῇ ἡ ῥίζα αὐτοῦ ἐν δὲ πέτρᾳ τελευτήσῃ τὸ στέλεχος αὐτοῦ

For though its root grows old in the ground, and its trunk dies in the rock,

它的根若在地裡衰老，樹幹若在磐石中枯死，

14:9

ἀπὸ ὀσμῆς ὕδατος ἀνθήσει ποιήσει δὲ θερισμὸν ὥσπερ νεόφυτον

at the scent of water it will bloom and produce a harvest like a newly planted tree.

一得水氣就必發芽，並且結實，如同新栽的樹。
