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).

20:1

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει

Then Sophar the Minaean answered and says:

米乃人瑣法回答說：

20:2

οὐχ οὕτως ὑπελάμβανον ἀντερεῖν σε ταῦτα καὶ οὐχὶ συνίετε μᾶλλον ἢ καὶ ἐγώ

I did not suppose that you would answer these things so; and you do not understand more than I do.

我沒想到你會這樣頂撞這些話；你們也並不比我更明白。

20:3

παιδείαν ἐντροπῆς μου ἀκούσομαι καὶ πνεῦμα ἐκ τῆς συνέσεως ἀποκρίνεταί μοι

I will listen to the instruction of my shaming, and a spirit out of understanding answers me.

我要聽那使我受辱的責備；有靈從悟性裡回答我。

20:4

μὴ ταῦτα ἔγνως ἀπὸ τοῦ ἔτι ἀφ’ οὗ ἐτέθη ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

Have you not known these things from of old, from when man was set upon the earth—

你豈不從亙古就知道這些事嗎？自從人被安置在地上以來——

20:5

εὐφροσύνη γὰρ ἀσεβῶν πτῶμα ἐξαίσιον χαρμονὴ δὲ παρανόμων ἀπώλεια

for the gladness of the ungodly is an extraordinary downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction.

不敬虔之人的歡樂是非常的傾覆，不法之人的喜樂是滅亡。

20:6

ἐὰν ἀναβῇ εἰς οὐρανὸν αὐτοῦ τὰ δῶρα ἡ δὲ θυσία αὐτοῦ νεφῶν ἅψηται

Though his gifts ascend to heaven and his sacrifice touch the clouds,

他的禮物縱然上到天，他的祭物縱然摸到雲，

20:7

ὅταν γὰρ δοκῇ ἤδη κατεστηρίχθαι τότε εἰς τέλος ἀπολεῖται οἱ δὲ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐροῦσιν ποῦ ἐστιν

for when he seems already to be firmly established, then he will perish utterly, and those who saw him will say, 'Where is he?'

因為他正以為自己已經站穩的時候，就要完全滅亡；看見他的人必說：他在哪裡呢？

20:8

ὥσπερ ἐνύπνιον ἐκπετασθὲν οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔπτη δὲ ὥσπερ φάσμα νυκτερινόν

Like a dream that has flown away he will not be found; he has flitted off like a nighttime apparition.

他必像飛散的夢，尋不著了；又像夜間的幻象飛去了。

20:9

ὀφθαλμὸς παρέβλεψεν καὶ οὐ προσθήσει καὶ οὐκέτι προσνοήσει αὐτὸν ὁ τόπος αὐτοῦ

The eye has glimpsed him and will do so no more, and his place will no longer take note of him.

眼睛看過他一眼，就不再看；他的本處也不再理會他。
