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).

This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endures for ever: all those who hold it fast are appointed to life; but such as leave it shall die.
這就是天主誡命的書,是永遠長存的法律。凡持守她的,必得生命;凡離棄她的,必要死亡。
4:2
ተመየጥ፡ ያዕቆብ፡ አኀዝ፡ ወሑር፡ በብርሃና።
Turn you, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk towards her shining in the presence of the light thereof.
雅各伯啊,你要回轉,握住她,朝著她的光輝、迎著她的光明邁進。
4:3
ኢተሀብ፡ ለባዕድ፡ ክብረከ፡ ዘይኄይሰከ፡ ለካልእ፡ ሕዝብ።
Give not your glory to another, nor the things that are profitable to you to a strange nation.
不要把你的榮耀讓給別人,不要把對你有益的事讓給異邦。
4:4
ብፁዓን፡ ንሕነ፡ እስራኤል፡ እስመ፡ ተዐውቀ፡ ሥምረቱ፡ ለአምላክነ፡ ላዕሌነ።
O Israel, happy are we: for the things that are pleasing to God are made known to us.
以色列啊,我們是有福的,因為凡天主所喜悅的事,都已為我們所知。
4:5
ተአመኑ፡ ሕዝብየ፡ ወተዘከሩ፡ እስራኤልኒ።
Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many: for the sins of my children am I left desolate; because they turned away from the law of God,
For I have trusted in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come to me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come to you from the Everlasting your Saviour.
For like as now those who dwell about Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God, which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.
My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you from God: for your enemy has persecuted you; but shortly you shall see his destruction, and shall tread upon their necks.
Behold, your sons come, whom you sent away, they come gathered together from the east to the west at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God.
