6:1

ἀκούσατε οὖν βασιλεῖς καὶ σύνετε μάθετε δικασταὶ περάτων γῆς

Hear therefore, you⌃ kings, and understand; Learn, you⌃ judges of the ends of the earth:

君王啊，所以你們要聽，要明白；地極的審判官哪，你們要受教。

6:2

ἐνωτίσασθε οἱ κρατοῦντες πλήθους καὶ γεγαυρωμένοι ἐπὶ ὄχλοις ἐθνῶν

Give ear, you⌃ that have dominion over much people, And make your boast in multitudes of nations.

你們這些轄管眾民、因列邦羣眾而誇耀的，要側耳而聽。

6:3

ὅτι ἐδόθη παρὰ κυρίου ἡ κράτησις ὑμῖν καὶ ἡ δυναστεία παρὰ ὑψίστου ὃς ἐξετάσει ὑμῶν τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὰς βουλὰς διερευνήσει

Because your dominion was given you from the Lord, And your sovereignty from the Most High; Who will search out your works, And will make inquisition of your counsels:

因為你們的權柄是從主賜下的，你們的統治是從至高者而來的；祂必察究你們的作為，鑒察你們的計謀。

6:4

ὅτι ὑπηρέται ὄντες τῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλείας οὐκ ἐκρίνατε ὀρθῶς οὐδὲ ἐφυλάξατε νόμον οὐδὲ κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπορεύθητε

Because being officers of his kingdom you⌃ did not judge aright, Neither kept you⌃ law, nor walked after the counsel of God.

因為你們既作祂國度的臣僕，卻沒有按公正審判，沒有遵守律法，也沒有照神的旨意而行。

6:5

φρικτῶς καὶ ταχέως ἐπιστήσεται ὑμῖν ὅτι κρίσις ἀπότομος ἐν τοῖς ὑπερέχουσιν γίνεται

Awfully and swiftly will he come upon you; Because a stern judgement befalleth those who are in high place:

祂必可畏而迅速地臨到你們；因為嚴厲的審判必臨到居高位的人。

6:6

ὁ γὰρ ἐλάχιστος συγγνωστός ἐστιν ἐλέους δυνατοὶ δὲ δυνατῶς ἐτασθήσονται

For the man of low estate may be pardoned in mercy, But mighty men will be searched out mightily.

因為卑微的人尚可蒙憐憫得赦免，但有權勢的人必受嚴厲的察究。

6:7

οὐ γὰρ ὑποστελεῖται πρόσωπον ὁ πάντων δεσπότης οὐδὲ ἐντραπήσεται μέγεθος ὅτι μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν ὁμοίως τε προνοεῖ περὶ πάντων

For the Sovereign Lord of all will not refrain himself for any man’s person, Neither will he reverence greatness; Because it is he that made both small and great, And alike he takes thought for all;

因為那作萬有之主宰者，必不因任何人的情面而退縮，也不因尊大而有所顧忌；因為無論大小都是祂所造的，祂也照樣眷顧萬人；

6:8

τοῖς δὲ κραταιοῖς ἰσχυρὰ ἐφίσταται ἔρευνα

But strict is the scrutiny that comes upon the powerful.

但嚴密的察究必臨到有權勢的人。

6:9

πρὸς ὑμᾶς οὖν ὦ τύραννοι οἱ λόγοι μου ἵνα μάθητε σοφίαν καὶ μὴ παραπέσητε

To you therefore, O princes, are my words, That you⌃ may learn wisdom and fall not from the right way.

君王啊，所以我的話是對你們說的，好叫你們學習智慧，不致失足跌倒。
